I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 427 Jackpot (habitually added)
Thanks to Vladimir and Alexei, George was relieved of his inner demons in St. Petersburg.

Freed from the shackles of St. Petersburg, George completely let himself go and became even more indifferent to negotiations in Washington.

Whatever Werther says.

Even if Werther cedes Amur to Japan, George still has the final say as to whether Japan can get it.

So George is not worried about Japan attacking Sakhalin Island at all. You attack yours and I will attack mine.

When it comes to fighting, you can't let the enemy lead you by the nose. You have to hold the enemy's seven inches and lead him away.

If Dongxiang did not attack Sakhalin Island, but instead went to Vladivostok, George would probably hesitate.

Sakhalin is casual.

Sooner or later, George will get back the losses caused by Japan to Sakhalin, including the capital and profits.

Peter was right. Dongxiang really didn't expect that the Siberian Fleet would leave Sakhalin Island alone and launch an attack directly on Nagasaki.

The best thing is that at this time, countries have not yet realized the role of submarines.

To Daniel's anger, only one of the two torpedoes exploded.

The Japanese plan to repair the "Victory" and "Eagle" and then join the combined fleet for service.

So the submarine detachment led by Daniel entered the Nagasaki naval port in such a swagger.

Let the Japanese repair these two battleships, and Dongxiang's arrogance will become even more arrogant.

After the violent explosion, the Japanese workers who were doing maintenance work on the "Eagle" finally knew what this black thing was for.

At this distance, even if the Nagasaki Fort fires its guns, the probability of hitting a Siberian Fleet warship is about the same as winning the lottery.

What caught Dongxiang off guard was that before the combined fleet had time to lay mines, the flagship "Mikasa" was almost attacked by a submarine. If "Naniwa" hadn't taken the mine for "Mikasa", Dongxiang would have been feeding the fishes.

The bullets hit Submarine No. 104, and the clanging sound was like a beautiful symphony to Daniel, completely igniting him.

Peter has many more cards than Dongxiang.

The inner harbor of Nagasaki is not too deep, but people can drown.

The Japanese sailors on duty in the harbor were stunned and raised their rifles to shoot at the 104 submarine.

It doesn't matter if it's sunk, just wait until the Siberian fleet captures Nagasaki and then fish it out.

After the torpedo exploded, all the workers who were performing maintenance work on the "Eagle" jumped into the sea to survive.

Dongxiang's attack on Vladivostok was to let light cruisers lure the main force of the Siberian fleet out of the port and engage in a decisive battle with the main force of the combined fleet.

If Japan changes the names of "Victory" and "Eagle" to "St. Petersburg" and "Moscow", the Russian Empire will completely become a laughing stock of the international community.

After Japan has repaired these two battleships, it still doesn't know what names it will give them.

Peter's call back was crisp and clear.

The "Eagle" is the fourth ship of the "Borodino" class, and its data are the same as the "Ural" and "Caucasus" that are already in service in the Siberian Fleet.

Therefore, Nagasaki does not even have a lightning protection net. Even if a submarine is seen, it cannot prevent the submarine from infiltrating.

There were more than 104 submarines that infiltrated Nagasaki.

The torpedo accurately hit the "Eagle" and exploded violently, causing a splash of water higher than the mast of the "Eagle".

The Siberian fleet captured "Kasuga" and renamed "Kasuga" "trophy", which was equivalent to pressing the face of the Japanese king to the ground and beating him.

As soon as Daniel entered Nagasaki, he saw these two majestic battleships.

The torpedo technology is still not up to par!

But Daniel had no chance to attack again.

The attack force sent by Peter was a submarine, and the fort built heavily by Nagasaki was nowhere to be seen.

However, the battleship "Victory" captured by the Combined Fleet in the Pacific Fleet and the "Eagle" battleship captured by the Combined Fleet in the Second Fleet were undergoing repairs in Nagasaki.

Peter did not know the range of the Nagasaki fort and ordered the Siberian fleet to cruise about ten kilometers away from Nagasaki.

Daniel sent a telegram to Peter asking him to decide.

The Japanese did not realize at all that the submarine had invaded. There were workers on the "Eagle" doing maintenance work. Several workers saw the submarine surfaced at the same time and stood stunned on the spot, at a loss.

After Daniel fired the torpedo, the submarine did not dive, but stayed in place and continued to reload.

boom--

Dongxiang's attack on Vladivostok was a traditional method. If the fort could not be defeated, it would lay mines. As long as the port of Vladivostok was blocked, Dongxiang would have completed its mission.

Daniel, a technological expert, was so bold that he actually let the submarine surface before launching the torpedo.

No. 104, which has become a meritorious submarine, fired two torpedoes at the "Eagle".

Togo's confidence lies in the fact that Nagasaki Port has a complete defense system. The Siberian fleet attacked Nagasaki and made the same mistake as Togo's attack on Vladivostok.

"Sink!"

There are no Combined Fleet warships in Nagasaki Naval Port.

The "Victory" has a displacement of 12683 tons and a horsepower of 15000. Its armament system consists of two twin-mounted 254mm main guns and 11 single-barreled 152mm rapid-fire guns. Construction started in 1898 and entered service in 1902.

The battleship "Letvizan", which has been serving in the Combined Fleet, was renamed "Hizen" by Japan. This name is the ancient name of Kyushu Island.

Although it is not glorious to sink one's own battleship, for a submarine captain, sinking a battleship is a lifelong honor.

Almost at the same time that No. 104 launched torpedoes, at least four submarines launched torpedoes at the "Victory" and "Eagle" at the same time.

boom--

Boom boom boom——

The repair work on the "Victory" captured after the fall of Port Arthur has been basically completed. The maintenance work of the "Eagle" is in progress, and it will be ready to enter the joint fleet in one or two months.

The power of the 533 torpedo was so powerful that it completely tore the hulls of the "Victory" and "Eagle" apart, and seawater poured in quickly. In just one minute, the "Victory" and "Eagle" capsized in Nagasaki Port.

Dozens of workers who jumped into the sea to survive were unlucky and were crushed under the "Victory" and "Eagle". They would have drowned if they didn't die.

A few workers who were good at swimming immersed themselves in swimming and actually swam in the direction of Submarine No. 104.

Daniel was angry.

Because there are no artillery or machine guns on the outside of the Vladivostok submarine, it cannot create greater chaos.

Only torpedoes are enough.

As the largest port in Japan, there are many warships docked in Nagasaki Naval Port.

Daniel came one by one.

The transport ship "Chunfeng".

sunk.

"Wenyue" supply ship.

sunk.

The transport ship "Imaru" is larger and newer, and is equipped with two torpedoes.

After sinking the "Imaru", Nagasaki Port was in a mess. Daniel looked around and saw that all the Japanese warships in sight had been sunk.

Nagasaki Port is quite large. Submarine No. 104 continued to walk in. After rounding a hill, another huge warship appeared in front of Submarine No. 104.

Daniel hit the jackpot.

This is the Japanese Combined Fleet flagship "Mikasa" which is also under repair.

After the Russo-Japanese War broke out, "Mikasa" served as the flagship and participated in all naval battles and performed extremely actively.

In the naval battle in which the Second Fleet was surrounded and annihilated, the "Mikasa" and the Second Fleet's flagship "Prince Suvorov" fired fiercely.

"Prince Suvorov" was eventually sunk, and "Mikasa" was also seriously damaged and towed back to Nagasaki Naval Port for repairs.

Since the repair work of the "Mikasa" has not been completed, the "Mikasa" did not attack Sakhalin Island with the main force of the combined fleet.

When the huge hull of the "Mikasa" appeared in Daniel's periscope, Daniel subconsciously rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

During the Battle of Vladivostok, submarine No. 104 almost hit the "Mikasa", and Daniel missed the opportunity to become an imperial hero.

Luck was still on Daniel's side.

After the Battle of Vladivostok, Daniel's dreams were all about the Mikasa.

So after confirming the "Mikasa", Daniel's roar resounded in submarine No. 104.

"Torpedo preparation——"

The crew did not have a periscope and did not know what was in front of submarine No. 104.

But from Daniel's excited and trembling roar, the sailors knew that they had won the lottery again.

Sinking a warship is not only an honor for sailors, but also provides generous rewards.

After a joint fleet flagship like the "Mikasa" is sunk, the reward is so rich that it can last a lifetime for the sailors.

The two torpedoes this time were very reliable. They all hit the "Mikasa" and exploded.

Daniel held back his hand and ordered the reloading to continue, in order to completely sink the "Mikasa" so that the Japanese would not be able to fish it up.

Submarine No. 104 failed to take sole credit for sinking the "Mikasa". Submarine No. 106, which arrived later, also fired two torpedoes at the "Mikasa", both of which hit the same target.

The military port was narrow, and submarine No. 104 and submarine No. 106 occupied the most favorable attack position. The submarines that arrived later could only watch the excitement.

Rebus, the captain of submarine No. 101, was unwilling to give in. The torpedo he launched passed by the hull of No. 104 and accurately hit the "Mikasa".

Daniel looked at the torpedo passing by and yelled wildly, who the hell is this shameless?

The other captains were also cursing.

Scolding Daniel for his bad luck.

boom--

After being hit by 7 torpedoes, the "Mikasa" followed the footsteps of the "Victory" and "Eagle" and capsized completely.

Before capsizing, the waves stirred up by the "Mikasa" rushed onto the pier and swept more than a dozen stunned Japanese workers and sailors into the sea.

Submarine No. 104 did not withdraw from Nagasaki Naval Port until all the torpedoes were fired.

George never expected that Peter would gain so much from his attack on the Nagasaki military port.

Warships can sink themselves.

It is a naval tradition that the captain should be buried with the ship.

Being captured by the enemy is a complete disgrace.

Although the Japanese were not as outrageous as the Amurs, they did not shame all Russians with names.

But "Hizen" is still an eternal pain in the hearts of all Russians, especially the soldiers of the Russian Imperial Navy.

Now the sailors of the Siberian Fleet can finally be proud. They sank the flagship "Mikasa" of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Werther was even more proud.

When he handed the telegram that the "Mikasa" was sunk to the Japanese negotiator, Minister of Foreign Affairs Histaro Komura, Komura's expression was wonderful.
