Another World: Naval Storm

"Congratulations, Marshal Dongping! Your dream has finally come true!" Hinata congratulated Dongping Shimosaburo.

"Now is not the time to be happy, look at the constant small troubles!"

"Order the 2nd and 3rd squadrons to go to the waters off Vladivostok to intercept the Russian cruisers. They have worked so hard!" Tohei Shimosaburo said helplessly.

"Has the First Squadron returned to Sasebo Base?"

"No, go to Kyoto. The First Squadron should go to Kyoto Bay in advance to wait for the Emperor's inspection!" Tohei Shimosaburo ordered.

The 2nd and 3rd Fleets of the Combined Fleet were destined to be unable to intercept the Vladivostok Squadron. Boris and his men had now reached the Pacific Ocean and were not far from Drake's Pacific Colony.

At the same time, Leo's fleet has arrived at Agu Island in Japan.

A few crackling gunshots were heard, and Leo observed the actions of the Marines through a telescope.

"Sir, the Marines have taken the lighthouse on the island!"

"Well...are there any casualties?"

"No, just a few tower guards, no threat!" replied Lieutenant Dawson.

"Since they don't resist, tie them up. The Japanese will find them when we complete our mission. Also, hang the Rakshasa flag and the military flag on the lighthouse! It can be regarded as conquering a piece of land in Japan for His Majesty the Tsar." Leo joked.

Relying on the help of sea fog, Leo's fleet sailed into the Kyoto Bay route. When approaching Yokosuka Port, the entire fleet was silent. You know, the coastal defense firepower here is not weaker than that of Mashijin Port.

"Order! The Von der Tann continues to advance, and the other three armored cruisers keep an eye on the ships and coastal firepower points in Yokosuka Port. As soon as you see the Von der Tann opening fire, immediately open fire at Yokosuka Port! Don't be afraid of wasting ammunition, fire without restriction!" Leo ordered solemnly. The fleet's retreat depended on them.

The Von der Tann continued to go deeper. Fortunately, the sea fog was thick enough today. For safety reasons, merchant ships and patrol boats did not appear in Kyoto Bay.

"Sir. Do we really want to do this? The Japanese will go crazy. If they can't hurt you in the war, they might send someone to assassinate you!" Dawson was very worried.

"It doesn't matter, I enjoy the Japanese's disgust and hatred!" Leo didn't care. He had a system, so it wouldn't be easy for him to die.

"Why do you hate the Japanese so much! I remember that you have lived in the empire since you were a child, and you have no hatred towards them!" Dawson was very confused. Ever since he became Leo's adjutant, he felt that Leo had an inexplicable hatred towards the Japanese.

"I just can't stand the beastly appearance of the Japanese. I saw clearly what bad things they did in Xunyang!" In the past and present lives, the two nations are so similar, both so cunning and cruel.

Leo came to the bow turret, "Let me do it!" and pushed away the officer who was about to fire! "Japs! Here they come! Bang! Bang!"

The shells were fired towards the Japanese inland with Leo's hatred. Although Leo's first guaranteed skill did not work outside of naval battles, the goddess of luck still favored Leo.

A shell directly hit the Japanese Imperial Palace, 7.5 kilometers away, and the emperor who was sleeping soundly was awakened by the explosion.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Emperor Kikuchi pushed open the shoji door with a ferocious look on his face, holding a wakizashi in his hand for self-defense.

Two more loud noises were heard, and the maids were running around in the aisle. Emperor Kikuchi pulled one over and asked, "What happened?"

Seeing that the maid was still terrified and silent, Emperor Kikuchi screamed "Ah!~" and stabbed the maid through with his wakizashi.

"Your Majesty, we finally found you!" The captain of the guards rushed through the crowd and protected Emperor Kikuchi by his side. He carefully checked him and made sure he was not injured before he felt relieved.

Emperor Kikuchi, who had stabbed someone to death, calmed down a little, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial palace is under attack. Please hurry to the underground fortifications!" The captain of the guards protected Emperor Kikuchi and took refuge in the underground fortifications. Anyone who was in a panic and blocked the way because of the explosion would be killed.

The explosions continued to come one after another, and the guards kept protecting Emperor Kikuchi. Leo's aim was particularly good today, although he didn't know it now.

Emperor Kikuchi finally relaxed when he arrived at the underground defense fortress. The underground fortress used for the emperor's refuge had no upper limit on construction funds, so it was particularly strong and could withstand the bombing of 500 kg bombs.

"Where are the Empress and the Grandson?" Why didn't Emperor Kikuchi ask about his son? It was because the Japanese royal family often married close relatives. His son was born mentally retarded. Fortunately, his grandson had some normal IQ, otherwise the Japanese royal family would have faced a crisis of succession.

"People have been sent to look for him!" Soon the queen came to the shelter holding the hand of her grandson.

"What's the situation outside the palace?" Emperor Kikuchi asked with a frown after comforting his wife and grandson.

"The situation is unclear! There are explosions everywhere outside the palace, and there are hundreds of places where smoke is rising!" The captain of the guards was also confused about the situation.

"Report, the Imperial Guard Division has arrived to protect the Imperial Palace!"

"Report, Yokosuka Naval Port has been attacked! It may be a Russian warship!" The officer who came to report sent a steady stream of information to the conference room.

"Order the Imperial Guards Division to guard outside the Imperial Palace, and order the ships in Yokosuka Port to sink the enemy ships!" Emperor Kikuchi did not allow the Imperial Guards Division to enter the Imperial Palace in the end. The chaos at the time made him not trust anyone.

The arrival of Ito Hirobumi and others made Emperor Kikuchi look much better.

"Yuyuan'er, what's wrong with you?" Emperor Kikuchi asked with concern.

At this time, Yuyuan Ertaro was in a very miserable state, his whole body was dirty, and one of his arms was hanging around his neck with a bandage.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine. I was hit by a stray bullet on the way to the palace!" Yuyuan Jitaro pretended to be a tough guy, but in fact he was just hit by a stone that was thrown by a cannonball.

"Yugen'er is loyal and brave, and is a role model for the empire's soldiers!" Emperor Kikuchi praised him, making Yugen'er Taro feel very happy.

"Your Majesty, I have urgently ordered all officials in Kyoto to join the rescue. In addition, all troops near Kyoto have entered a wartime state! They can rush to Kyoto's aid at any time!" Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito knew that in order to mobilize the army, he had to get the emperor's approval, and military power was a taboo.

"Judging from the report, the attack should have come from Kyoto Bay!" Tamagegen Jitaro said after a moment of hesitation.

"Kyoto Bay? The enemy's warships have arrived in Kyoto Bay?" Emperor Kikuchi was furious. This was a blatant slap in the face.

At this time, several more shells hit the palace, and the flames caused by the explosions engulfed the ancient palace. The people in the palace alone could not put out the flames, so they had no choice but to let some officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard Division enter the palace.

The Imperial Guards Division of Japan is a special division, and its organization and size are different from other regular divisions. Due to its special nature, the total number of troops exceeds 5, which is half more than other Japanese first-class divisions.
