Xu Jie generally agreed with the staffing proposed by Yang Yonglin, because Yang Yonglin arranged suitable commanders based on the operational characteristics of several squadrons. Commanders are rarely omnipotent. They have their own characteristics and strengths.

In terms of aspects, the same is true for the fleet, especially a large-scale fleet with a clear division of labor. Yang Yonglin is responsible for two fast fleet detachments and an armored cruiser detachment.

After arranging the manpower, the light cruiser formation was left in the end. Regarding the 6 scattered light cruisers, Xu Jie did not care who the commanders of these teams were, because their task was the simplest, that is, to find the other party's merchant ships.

Attack them, and at the same time send the detected enemy ship information to other fleets. If you encounter one that you can't defeat, you can run away decisively. In short, it's robbery plus reconnaissance instead of fighting!

The navy is a system in which different warships play different roles in the entire system. Some warships are not designed to destroy opponents, such as light cruisers and submarines. The practice of going up to fight to the death as soon as they meet is in some cases

Time is not advisable. For the reconnaissance cruiser, the most important thing is to destroy the merchant ship and then report the opponent's whereabouts to the peak in time when it discovers the opponent. So as long as you grasp this core, you will not make a big mistake.

But it is different for the commanders of the three dreadnoughts and the armored patrol detachment, because they need to make predictions based on the battlefield situation. Their decisions are related to the development of the entire battle situation. It can be said that if you are not careful, you will lose everything.

If one of the fleets is eaten by the other side at a relatively small cost, the war behind the Chinese Navy will be difficult to fight. Therefore, these battleships are not consumables like light cruisers. Even a somewhat outdated Garibaldi

Armored cruisers are very precious resources!

Generally speaking, Lin Yongsheng's two Longxu-class battlecruisers are the squadron with the most diverse missions, the greatest operational flexibility, and the most dangerous squadron. They can choose whether to attack the opponent's large fleet or small fleet according to the situation. They can even decide whether to attack the opponent.

ports and fortresses. And because of being too active

, they are easily discovered by their opponents. They are surrounded by a large number of cruisers and even fast battleships. Sometimes they even use bait to attract the opponent's attention. Therefore, for Lin Yongsheng and the others, destroying the opponent is a secondary goal to achieve the strategic goal.

Mobilizing the enemy and preserving yourself are the top priorities.

The real attack mission was handed over to the three Longtai-class fast battleships in the hands of Deng Shichang. The two Longxu-class battlecruisers in the hands of Lin Yongsheng were just winged cavalry. They were very fast and had strong attack power, but they were fragile and weak in attack.

The target is okay, but it is not good to deal with tough enemies. The three Longtai-class fast battleships in Deng Shichang's hands are a balanced product of speed, firepower and protection. The speed is enough to get rid of the Russian main fleet, and the firepower and protection are enough to deal with Russia.

The fast battleships in the Dutch fleet form an advantage. When they find that the fish has taken the bait, Deng Shichang's fleet will give the opponent a fatal blow at the right time. The purpose of their existence is to severely damage the opponent's fleet at the right time, rather than using precious fast battleships

Breaking diplomatic ties is the same as cruising on the sea, but the meaning is completely different depending on the target. Attacking the opponent's fleet fundamentally shakes the cornerstone of the opponent's maritime power. Breaking diplomatic ties only adds some trouble to the other party!

As for the five armored cruisers commanded by Liu Guanxiong? Xu Jie wishes they would never have to take action. When will Liu Guanxiong's armored cruiser formation be used? One is that Lin Yongsheng's fleet is trapped. And Deng Shichang cannot arrive.

, Liu Guanxiong is required to top the cylinder. The second situation is when the decisive battle breaks out between the two sides, Russia concentrates all fast battleships and even part of the main force to engage in a battle with the Chinese fast battleship formation.

When we start a war, we need to concentrate our forces when our strength is insufficient. No matter what the situation is, it means that the Chinese Navy's advance fleet must fight against the opponent under unfavorable circumstances. If the dreadnought has an advantage over Russia and the Netherlands,

If so, then these armored cruisers will be at a disadvantage in a fight. Their protection is generally weak, their firepower is weak, and they are not even fast. Once the battle situation is unfavorable, they will definitely be abandoned!

"That's it for the commander of the advance fleet. Let's arrange the personnel of the main fleet. Sa Zhenbing is a very good person. He knows the importance and has a spirit of sacrifice. He understands the overall situation and takes the overall situation into consideration. I am relieved to let him command the light cruiser formation. The remaining

down

The three Guiyuan-class light cruisers and the main fleet were all handed over to him. The personnel of the lightning strike formation are also easy to find. Just look for the old people in the torpedo boat force in the old Beiyang. Now the main problem is to select the seven dreadnoughts.

." Xu Jie said.

"The ones who are suitable for leading the battleships are mainly these people, Liu Buchan, Lin Taizeng and Cheng Biguang. Needless to say, General Liu has always had experience in leading a large fleet. General Lin Taizeng has enough qualifications, but he is more mediocre.

There will be no gods in command

It's a pen, but it won't make big mistakes. General Cheng Biguang, how should I put it, I don't know much about it, but after we dismantle the foreign fleet, how can we not arrange a suitable position for him?" Yang Yonglin was a little confused.

He said awkwardly.

"It goes without saying that you are the commander-in-chief of the battleship formation. Two Longxing-class battleships are given to Zixiang. He is very offensive. The Longxing-class is also our strongest battleship. It is equipped with the most offensive warriors.

The sharpest sword is the best choice. The next two Dragon Quan-class battleships were handed over to Lin Taizeng.

The attack is insufficient but the defense is sufficient and relatively stable. We don't ask him to open up the situation, as long as he can maintain it. As for the next three Ninghai-type quasi-dreadnought ships, leave them to Cheng Biguang. From the perspective of positions, Cheng Biguang, Liu Buchan and others

They are on the same level, and the pressure on them will be less." Xu Jie thought for a while and said.

"If we exclude the fast fleets of both sides, we would have 7 against 8.4 Dreadnoughts plus 3 quasi-Dreadnoughts, and the Russians would have 6 Dreadnoughts and 2 quasi-Dreadnoughts. In terms of the performance of the Dreadnoughts, if the two sides fought against each other, we would have 4 Dreadnoughts.

We will have an advantage in fighting against the opponent's 4 Dreadnoughts. The battle between the quasi-Dreadnoughts will be at least a draw. We are on fire

They have advantages in control and heavy artillery, but after all, the opponent has two more Dreadnoughts. Will they choose to distribute firepower evenly or concentrate on defeating our weak ships?" In Yang Yonglin's view, Xu Jie's arrangement is not foolproof. After all, if the opponent

If you concentrate your firepower on attacking weak ships first, then Cheng Biguang will be under the greatest pressure!

"This is a process of exchange. If Liu Buchan and Lin Tai could destroy the dreadnought before the Ninghai class was destroyed, then we would not suffer. It would be a big war! Both sides want to

It is impossible not to lose battleships, so

We must be prepared to sacrifice. Cheng Biguang also participated in the Battle of Kunshan Bay, and he should still have the ability to withstand pressure, but after all, he has never led a first-class battleship, so I am still a little worried. Lin Taizeng can match a good one

Assistant." Xu Jie thought for a while and said.

"The current governor of Taiwan Province is General Ding. He once led the navy and is now the governor of Taiwan Province. It should be okay to let him be responsible for the logistics and fleet maintenance of the Chinese fleet. You can ask General Ding for his opinion. If

Okay, let it take charge of the ship manufacturing and repair factories in the entire south. We need an expert to be in charge of these things. As for the submarine force? Cai Tinggan has done a good job and deserves praise. Let him continue to be in charge of the submarine force." Xu Jie finally said.

said.

After a night of discussion, a framework has been discussed for the personnel allocation of the Chinese Navy in the future Sino-Russian Second War. The top management has all been determined, and the rest is arranged by the middle level. Xu Jie does not need to worry about these.

.The rest needs Xu Jieguan

The only concern was to consider the emotional issues of the personnel. It was okay for Deng Shichang, after all, he had a good personal relationship with him, and he also handed over one of China's most elite squadrons to him. Look at the fleet in the hands of someone with the same qualifications as him.

, Deng Shichang really has nothing to complain about.

The only one who was more difficult to deal with was Liu Buchan, who had always been one of the top three figures in the navy. When Ding Ruchang was here, Liu Buchan was the actual controller of the Beiyang Fleet. Later, Xu Jie's arrival caused Liu Buchan to lose control of the navy, and then

Yang Yonglin, although Liu Buchan no longer dominates the sky like he did in the past, he is still the leader of the Fujian Party, and a naval officer of the Fujian Party

Another half of the senior navy generals! So in terms of influence, apart from Yang Yonglin in the naval system, Liu Buchan is really dissatisfied with this appointment. Liu Buchan always believed that he could command the seven battleships of the entire main fleet.

He was also the commander-in-chief of four new dreadnoughts, but in the end he was made the commander of the squadron. This was very difficult for him to accept.

After Xu Jie met with Liu Buchan, he enlightened the leader of the Fujian faction like this. First, the current fleets were dispersed and implemented in small groups. The original plan was for Deng Shichang to be in charge of the entire advance fleet. This is not the case now.

Can only lead 3 Longtai-class battleships? So everyone has been reassigned, and you, Liu Buchan, are no exception. The second point is that Longxing is not only the flagship of Liu Buchan's squadron, but also the ship of Yang Yonglin, and the commander-in-chief of the fleet.

Flagship. And when necessary, the entire main fleet can be controlled according to Yang Yonglin's authorization. After all, once the decisive battle begins, Yang Yonglin's eyes will not only be on the seven battleships and subsidiary battleships of the main fleet, but also must pay attention to the fast fleet, so in short

In a word, even though he was demoted in name, there is still a chance! Liu Buchan, who received the explanation, also expressed his understanding. After all, this is what the situation requires. He can still distinguish the priorities!

In this way, the Chinese Navy has completed the final formation and personnel allocation. What is left is continuous training and intelligence collection. The giant ship of the Chinese Navy has completed the final preparations and is waiting for a proper actual preparation to start the war!
