Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar

The naval high-ranking officials of the Russian Empire were very satisfied with the performance of the Izmail-class battle cruisers. Whether it is a maximum speed of 28.5 knots or a 356mm gun with 52 times the caliber, it all symbolizes strength.

However, for the Russian Empire, it was undoubtedly very difficult to build Izmail-class battle cruisers. At least in the short term, it is unlikely.

First of all, the issue of the power of battleships is difficult to resolute. Large oil-fired boilers may not be too difficult. However, the steam engine is a big problem. The traditional three-expansion reciprocating steam engine simply cannot reach that much power, and it must be a steam turbine.

The Russian Empire had to develop large steam turbines that could be put into practical use to ensure the construction of Izmail-class battle cruisers. Otherwise, if the speed is too slow, then what kind of battle cruiser?

Secondly, a naval gun of 356 mm caliber also needs to be developed. Otherwise, the Toyo would not have been able to equip Kongo-class battle cruisers with 356 mm guns. The battle cruisers of the Russian Empire could only carry 305 mm guns. Isn't that, like the Germans, big ships carry small guns?

Of course, the Germanic 963 attached importance to the defense of the battleship, and it was also tested in another time and space naval battle. This point is worth learning from the Tsarist Imperial Navy.

Battleships that can't keep the sun from setting are all thin-skinned and stuffed. Once hit, it's easy to burst.

For the Russian Empire, the Izmail-class battle cruisers would be a long-term goal.

Mikhail predicted that it would take at least several years for the Russian Empire to have such a level of technology before construction could begin.

For the generals of the Russian Imperial Navy, it was just to quench their thirst.

Little by little, time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the summer of 1802 AD.

Mikhail and Empress Elizabeth Mary, it has been two years since they were married. However, for two years, Queen Elizabeth Mary has not been pregnant.

Although, the imperial ministers were already a little anxious. However, Mikhail did not care.

In his opinion, Queen Elizabeth Mary was too young. Giving birth too early is not good for the body. Therefore, Mikhail deliberately took steps to wait until Queen Elizabeth Marie turned twenty before giving birth.

You know, in this era, the level of medical treatment is not high. Women can be very dangerous when they give birth. Even if the queen gives birth, the same is true. In addition, the infant mortality rate is also very high. So, Mikhail hopes to wait and give birth to a more robust child.

"Your Majesty, the main project of the Trans-Siberian Railway has been completed. We have already gone through the test drive and there are no problems the whole time. From Mosk, all the way to Vladivostok, it takes about a week! Transport Minister Demirit had a smile on his face.

After Mikhail succeeded to the throne, he asked the transport authorities to speed up the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

This made Demirit very stressed, and he spent all day on the construction site.

Fortunately, after years of efforts and overcoming various difficulties, the main project of the Trans-Siberian Railway was finally completed. Next, there is the construction of supporting facilities. and the planning of double lines. It no longer affects the opening of the railway.

When Mikhail heard the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Trans-Siberian Railway was completed and opened, and the last shortcomings of the Tsarist Empire's Army in the ensuing war with the Orientals were solved. Once war broke out, reinforcements and supplies from the Tsarist Imperial Army could continue to go to the Far East to reinforce front-line operations.

The Orientals wanted to defeat the Russian Empire again, but it was not so easy.

After all, the Russian Empire was much larger than the Eastern Empire. (DACA) was able to mobilize more troops than the Eastern Empire.

Moreover, the Imperial Tsarist Army now has a standing army of 7 army groups. Together with other heavy artillery brigades, cavalry brigades, mountain infantry brigades and other units, the total strength has reached 1.6 million people.

Even if the main forces need to be stationed in the European region. However, it is still completely no problem to send one or two army groups to reinforce the Far East.

Once the Tsarist Imperial Army gathered troops in the Far East, as many as two or three army groups. So, was the Eastern Empire still able to defeat the Russian Empire on land? That's simply impossible.

In addition, the Russian Imperial Navy also defeated the Imperial Navy of the East in future naval battles. Then, the Russian Empire will win again in future wars. And the Eastern Empire will lose badly. Even, if conditions existed, the army of the Russian Empire could completely invade the mainland of the Eastern Empire. For example, Hokkaido, which is sparsely populated, is a good place to snatch it from the Orientals. Although the latitude is not low, because of the warm current in the western Pacific, the sea water does not freeze all year round, which can be used to build naval bases, deploy warships, and monitor the Eastern Empire nearby.

"Good, this railway is finally open. Prepare, I'm going to the Far East by train for inspection! Mikhail said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Demirit quickly replied.

The Trans-Siberian Railway has just been opened, and His Majesty the Tsar is about to take a train to the Far East to inspect, which is undoubtedly a trust in him and an honor for the Ministry of Transport!

The Tsar's travel, of course, is not so easy, you have to make all kinds of preparations first. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

At the same time, national affairs also need to be arranged. The entourage also needs to be arranged.

In mid-July 1802, Mikhail took Empress Elizabeth Marie and set off from Musk on a special train to the Far East.

To ensure the safety of His Majesty the Tsar, two cavalry brigades will accompany.

Among the top echelons of the Russian Empire, Prime Minister Quite Donosschav, Chief of the General Staff, Admiral Brusilov, and Minister of the Navy, General Alexander, will accompany him.

Domestic affairs are temporarily in charge of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ivan Goremekin.

The Trans-Siberian Railway, which runs through the entire Russian Empire, although it has not been developed, or the degree of development is very low, but it also makes this area very beautiful.

Mikhail and Empress Elizabeth Mary, there was no hurry along the way. Therefore, there are constant stops along the way, not only to inspect the people, but also to visit the beautiful scenery.

Along the way, it took a month to reach Vladivostok.
