Confrontation. Chernov A.B.

The idea of ​​simultaneous battle proposed by Rudnev in different geographical points of two Russian squadrons and a separate detachment of ships with the Japanese fleet could lead to victory in the war. The admiral of that is forced to divide his strength, and at the islands of Eliot, only four enemy are opposed to the seven battleships of Makarov. At the same time, at the Sangar Strait, the armored cruisers Rudnev’s chest in the chest converge with a formidable adversary - the squadron of Admiral Kamimura.

It was conceived beautifully. Only the result of the battles does not please our naval breeders: the enemy has not suffered fatal losses, and the Russian fleet is still divided into Port Arthur and Vladivostok squadrons. Our enemy is brave and racks, and the goddess of good luck is still on the side of the Japanese. But collected in the Baltic and the Black Sea of ​​reinforcements under the flags of Chukhnin and Bezobrazov already on the way to the theater of hostilities. And in order to decisively win, not relying on the changeable fortune, the command of the Russian Pacific Fleet needs to combine the efforts of all their squadrons, not allowing the Japanese to defeat them alone.
