Upon hearing the bad news, Zhao Gang was in a state of chaos and it took a while to recover. Seeing the pale faces of the others and the unscrupulous appearance, Zhao Gang knew that he should come up with something exciting.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of October 6, 1894, the second staff meeting was held urgently. The participants were Zhao Gang, Zhan Tianyou, Liang Dunyan, Tang Shaoyi, Hei Niu, Han Fenglin and German Ludendorf.

Without caring about politeness, Zhao Gang asked Hei Niu directly:

"I found out if I asked what you wanted last time."

Hei Niu took out a file and said in a muffled voice: "It's found out."

Zhao Gang nodded: "Then read it first."

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhao Gang signaled the staff to hang up the map of Japan, and then walked to the front of the map. Ono Hamama Shipyard and Yokosuka Naval Shipyard have been marked with red circles.

Zhao Gang pointed at Yokosuka with a teaching stick and said, "The Yokosuka Naval Shipyard has a total shipbuilding tonnage of 18,000 tons. In the past three or four years, it has built a cruiser like Akitsuzu and 4,000 tons, with 3,000 tons of cruisers, including 3,000 tons of Akitsuka and 4,000 tons of Hashita, which has three 7,000 tons of ships and two rare 4,000 tons of iron floating docks in the world. It can be said that Yokosuka is currently the number one shipbuilding yard in Asia, and even Lushun is not as good as that."

In addition, there are two Suma-class cruisers in Yokosuka Shipbuilding Station, namely Suma. The following is the information of the two ships.

Displacement capacity of 2657 tons (Akashi is 2756 tons)

Naval gun 152mm*2/120mm*6/47mm rapid-fire gun *12/machine gun 4

Powered by two reciprocating steam engines, output horsepower of 8384 horses (7890 horses at Akashi), maximum coal loading of 554 tons (590 tons at Akashi)

Speed ​​20 knots (Akashi is 19.5 knots)

Basically, it is a weakened armored copy of Akitsushi

"Onohama Marine Shipyard is a new shipyard, but it was able to build 1,500-ton cruisers in 1887, which shows that its shipbuilding strength is still very strong. It has not built ships in recent years, but because Japan's economic strength is weak, it has 4 500-ton ship platforms and 1 iron floating dock."

"At present, a production line for manufacturing 120mm rapid-fire guns has been introduced at the Onohama Maritime Shipyard. Three 120mm rapid-fire guns can be produced per week, and 150 can be produced a year, which is enough to arm any 15 cruisers."

"It can be said that these are the essence of the Japanese Navy. If these two places are not completely eliminated, then Japan will continue to produce thousands of tons of cruisers, and we will continue to fight them endlessly until we consume all our strength. This is what we try our best to avoid, so we must take advantage of the Japanese Navy's powerlessness to razor these two shipbuilding sites to the ground cleanly and thoroughly."

Tan Fenglin was very excited when he heard this. As the new deputy commander of the navy, the actual naval commander, there was nothing more exciting than leading a navy to sweep the enemy country. But as a practical naval commander, such a wonderful idea would only make the mind excited for a while. After the excitement passed, the young naval commander began to think about actual problems.

"The distance between Yokosuka and Lushun is more than 1,200 nautical miles, and the round-trip range is more than 2,400 nautical miles, which basically reaches the maximum range of a cruiser. Only four main battleships can complete such a long range, but it is also very barely. More than 1/3 of the journey were spent in the waters of the enemy country, and the difficulties can be imagined. I think the difficulty of this attack is much greater than that from Nagasaki to Dagukou. The Dagukou naval battle has proved the danger of this battle. I wonder if there is a detailed planning plan for this aspect?"

Zhao Gang explained:

"In fact, our attack was divided into two groups. One of them led old cruisers, plus a portion of armed merchant ships, forming a huge lineup to attack Nagasaki, the nearest of us. The two places were only 400 nautical miles apart. These old ships were completely competent. Nagasaki is Japan's largest civil port. It can requisition all the ships left in the port, and then attack Onohama Maritime Shipyard. If possible, dismantle the 120mm rapid-fire gun production line as much as possible. If it is really not possible, it will be damaged at any cost."

"The second route is completed by four elite heavy ships, namely Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Jiyuan, Zhiyuan. Let me tell you that the current Zhiyuan is different from the previous Zhiyuan. In fact, it is the Yoshimi of the Japanese United Fleet. We will change it to Zhiyuan. These four ships have long-distance voyage capabilities and can fully sail to Japan. Moreover, the ship is loaded with a total of 3,000 marines, which can carry Yokosuka on a large scale. If you are lucky, you can also use civilian ships to dismantle and transport all Yokosuka back to the country, and then we will get rich."
Chapter completed!
