TOGO
The most famous man these days is Admiral Togo of the Japanese Navy. He has been called the ‘Japanese Nelson.’ Nelson was England’s greatest fighting admiral in former times. He it was who saved England and defeated the French and the Spaniards. It was Togo who first attacked Russia and began to make Russia stagger when he encountered the Russian warships at Port Arthur. It was Togo’s idea, to ensure the safe landing of the soldiers in Manchuria without them being troubled by Russian warships, that he should block the entrance to Port Arthur.
