After the successful breakthrough to Vladivostok, awards rained down on the Second Pacific Squadron. Rozhdestvensky himself was awarded the title of viceroy of the emperor in the Far East. This allowed him to quickly introduce new orders in the Vladivostok fortress and its environs, which had already become familiar on the squadron. But insufficient equipment and difficulties in supplying the only fleet base jeopardize the continuation of the campaign. After the timely commissioning of submarines and balloons, the new governor and his team manage to retain the initiative in their hands and launch an offensive against the Japanese Empire. And all roads again lead to Tsushima.
