"Admiral Ito Yuhiro, this is a letter of challenge sent by the Chinese. We hope that we can hold a naval battle in the Yellow Sea. This time we will let the navy compete, and then determine our sea dominance along the coast of China. May I ask General Yuto Ito, will we agree to the challenge of the Chinese people?" asked the staff officer.

Ito Yuheng looked at the letter of challenge sent by this telegram, which stated that this time the Taiwan Navy and the Japanese Navy will have a fate-determining decisive battle. This decisive battle will be held in the Yellow Sea, and then the two navies will do their best to fight Fighting will determine the outcome of China's coastal control of the sea. And Yuheng Ito looked at this challenge letter and specified that this decisive battle will be held in Dadonggou in the Yellow Sea. This meaning is very obvious. This time the Taiwan Navy arranged the decisive battle location in Dadonggou, which is obviously the shame of the Beiyang Navy's Yellow Sea Dadonggou naval battle in the hope that they can wash away their blood. Seeing this situation, Ito Yuheng immediately became ruthless.

"I will immediately ask His Majesty the Emperor to allow me to go to the decisive battle!" Ito Yuheng said.

Ito Yuheng asked Emperor Meiji to see him, and then began to state his views.

"Your Majesty, if we can have a decisive naval battle with the Chinese this time, then if we can win, we will gain control of the sea along the coast of China. Once the Chinese lose their entire navy, they will not be able to maintain control of the sea along the coast of China. They Taiwan and the mainland will be completely out of control, and their ammunition and supplies will not be able to be transported from Taiwan to the mainland. At that time, we can take the opportunity to conquer Taiwan. Even if we can’t eat it, we can invite other countries to do it together. At that time , Taiwan’s army on the mainland that has lost supplies, they must be a lone army, we can slowly wear them down. Therefore, once this naval battle is successful, it can create an immortal foundation for our empire.” Two Yuheng Ito Said with red eyes.

But someone disagreed and asked, "What if we lose?"

"It's impossible for us to lose? How could we lose to the Chinese?" Ito Yuheng said fiercely.

"Can you guarantee it?" the person next to Emperor Meiji asked.

Ito Yuheng immediately patted his chest and said: "I can assure you. The formation of Taiwan's navy is only a few years old. Where is the accumulation of decades of formation by us? The quality of their soldiers. There are also various combat capabilities and pressure resistance capabilities. It’s obviously like our Great Japanese Empire. Although they have the same firepower as us, they obviously can’t play it out. It’s not bad for their combat power to be half of ours. So I think we can win without worrying about anything.”

"It's a joke, Taiwan already has a total of fifteen battleships, and our battleships are only five, plus various attached cruisers, etc., our tonnage is only half of Taiwan's overall. No, I would like to ask Admiral Yuheng Ito. How did you guarantee victory?"

The Japanese still don't know that Taiwan has five sword-class battleships, and submarines are secret sea assassins, so they obviously underestimated the number of battleships in Taiwan a lot. And this is enough to be the biggest root cause of their failure.

"I believe my command ability should win!" Ito Yuheng said.

Emperor Meiji did not completely believe in Ito Youheng's approach, but called various naval staff officers, and then conducted a meticulous deduction. Then they passed the current known situation, and then conducted a very rigorous combat deduction, and the results came out soon.

"Your Majesty, I think that if we can have a decisive battle with the Chinese navy this time, the result of our deduction is that the probability of defeat is 40%. The probability of both dying is also 40%, and the probability of our victory is only 20%. about."

"Impossible, why is our chance of winning only 20%?" Ito Yuheng asked in disbelief.

The staff officer replied: "The Chinese have fifteen Sovereign-class battleships. This Sovereign-class battleship is currently the best battleship in the world. Our battleships are obviously at a disadvantage. And their sailors may be of relatively low quality, but the number of fifteen ships is not It's so easy to solve. Their firepower is more than three times that of ours, even if it is discounted in half, it is still 1.5 times that of ours. But in fact it cannot be calculated like this, because the number of artillery is real, plus their The power capability is stronger than ours, so we may not be able to truly occupy the absolute advantage. And if they successfully seize the 't' prefix, their huge firepower is enough to make us pay a heavy price. Even if their sailors are relatively low-quality .”

"And I estimate that after that, the probability of us being preempted by the prefix 't' is about 65%. Because their navy's power level is better than our naval battleships. In a common word, that is their Runs much faster than us. So we are at a disadvantage in terms of grabbing the 't' prefix. Plus their artillery range is obviously much longer than ours, so we may not be at a disadvantage."

Then these Japanese naval staff took out a copy of the results of the deduction and told the Japanese bigwigs, and one sentence in this report is that Taiwan has more warships than you, and its performance is better than yours. Even if the quality of Taiwan's sailors is not as good as yours, but they just use warships, more artillery, and faster speed to bully you. Anyway, there is no way to bully you. Taiwan's warships are said to be much more bright than Japan's, and the number of artillery is also higher than Japan's, so they are much better than Japan in terms of hard power. And if there is some weakness in soft power, it can be made up for with hard power. This is like a computer, a supercomputer equipped with a computer, even if its software is relatively poor, it can still be used as an ordinary home notebook with a computer.

Therefore, this gap in hardware cannot be made up by software alone.

"Damn, these cowards, can't they send the same number of warships to fight us? I will definitely blow them up easily!" Ito Yuheng said angrily.

But the senior Japanese officials present were speechless. Ito Yuhiro was really "naive" and expected Taiwan to have a fair duel with Japan, using the same number of warships to fight? People in Taiwan's army have no brains! To fight a war is to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses. Taiwan has many warships, so of course he will use more warships to bully you? The battlefield is not the Olympic boxing ring, where the number of people is the same and the weight is the same. War is never fair. It is reasonable and legal for more people to bully few people in war, and no one will call you unfair.

However, Emperor Meiji also sighed and said: "God is really unfair. Our Yamato nation is such an excellent nation, such a noble nation, but we can only shrink back on such a small island where volcanic earthquakes occur everywhere. But the Chinese people, the Chinese people Humans, an inferior nation, can actually occupy such a large piece of land, and they are all rich lands with fertile land, land with innumerable mineral deposits, and land that can harvest grain. Such a large piece of land does not belong to us at all. Yamato nation."

"We managed to obtain Taiwan, but we were inexplicably risen by a Wang Guorui. This Wang Guorui, who did not know what kind of support he had, was able to rise so quickly. To form a powerful army so quickly, It can establish its own industrial system so quickly. If this organization is willing to support our Yamato nation, then our Yamato nation will not be long before we can enter the mainland and rule the world. But they actually favor the inferior nation of the Chinese people, really There's no reason for that."

"God is so unfair to our Yamato nation, but our Yamato nation will never give in. The Chinese people, an inferior nation, do not deserve to have such fertile and rich land, and those lands belong to us. Therefore, our Yamato nation must work hard, and then Let them hand over all the land that belongs to our Yamato nation!"

Emperor Meiji was shameless enough to say that the Chinese are not worthy of owning such good land, which is all Japanese. But these words made those high-ranking Japanese officials obviously acquiesce to these words. This is the situation of being brainwashed by robber logic~lightnovelpub.net~ They have always been gangster logic, and they don’t care about normal thinking at all. What they think is theirs is theirs, and what is not theirs is theirs. That's why they are all like this now. They are clearly aggression, but they speak such righteous words, and they speak so righteously, as if they are the party of justice. If you don't know, do you really think you were deceived by them?

"However, in order to ensure victory, we still need to make the necessary preparations. If we can pull the American fleet to our side and fight with us, what chance do we have of winning?" Emperor Meiji asked.

A few hours later, the staff officer came back and said, "His Majesty the Emperor? If we can pull the three American battleships over, maybe we have a 50% chance of winning."

"Fifty percent? You can take a gamble! When we went to war with China, wasn't it just a gamble? This time, for the great cause of our Yamato nation, let's take a gamble again, so what can we do?" Emperor Meiji went crazy Said.

Now, Emperor Meiji has obviously fallen into the thinking of a gambler again. He thinks that he can gamble even if he has 50% hope. In the case of such a huge profit, 50% of the risk can be taken. This is the character of the Japanese gambler. (To be continued.)
