Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar

Akichi Tianhuang decided to build Katori-class battleships to further strengthen the Imperial Navy of the East. In this way, the Oriental Imperial Navy can be upgraded from the Sixth Fleet to the Eighth Fleet.

Eight battleships plus eight armored cruisers served as the core of the fleet, allowing the Toyo Imperial Navy to have a powerful navy that was among the best in the world. This is not only very crucial for the Eastern Empire to defeat the Russian Empire in future wars, but also an important guarantee for the Eastern Empire to ensure its own security and even gain a greater voice in the world.

For this reason, even if you tighten your belt, you will not hesitate.

Faced with Ming Zhi Tianhuang's request, the Oriental Imperial Navy had the intention to refuse. However, there is simply no way. Can't they really disobey His Majesty Tianhuang's orders?

For this reason, the Eastern Imperial Army had to accept this request. However, they hope that this money will lend to the Sun Never Sets Empire. Anyway, the Eastern Empire already owes the Sun Never Sets Empire a lot of money. Plus a sum, it won't be good. They are the lackeys of the Sun Never Set Empire, and the Sun Never Set Empire spends money to support them, which is what it should have been.

Of course, soon the Toyo Imperial Navy discovered that their own shipyard simply did not have the ability to build these two Katori-class battleships, and could only ask for help from the Hinata 163.

In the end, it was agreed that the Sun Never Set Empire would provide a loan to the Toyo Empire for the construction of two Katori-class battleships. In this way, everyone is happy. The sun never sets people not only make a sum of money, but also strengthen the strength of their lackeys. And the Oriental Imperial Navy will soon get the powerful warships they dream of.

In addition to the core of the fleet consisting of battleships and battle cruisers, the Eastern Imperial Navy also had quite a few protected cruisers.

In addition to the cruiser Otowa, which is under construction at the shipyard of the Toyo Empire, the defensive cruisers already in service include two new advanced protected cruisers, two Kasagi-class protected cruisers, and two Suma-class protected cruisers.

In addition, there are those old ships that have participated in the naval battle with the Great Qing Empire, including two Yoshino-class protected cruisers, three Matsushima-class protective cruisers, two Namsu-class protected cruisers, Akitsushu protective cruisers, Chiyoda protective cruisers, and Waizumi protected cruisers.

In addition, the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean is equipped with 6 Ray-class destroyers, 6 Tokumo-class destroyers, two Xiao-class destroyers and two Baiyun-class destroyers. In addition, in the shipyard of the Imperial Navy of the East, there are also 7 Haruyu-class destroyers under construction.

Although, the destroyers of the Orientals are only small destroyers with a displacement of three or four hundred tons. Without armor, completely naked. But the torpedoes it carries are still quite powerful.

It can be said that the strength of the Oriental Imperial Navy is already very good.

Even in the world, it is enough to rank at the top.

Of course, it can also be said that the people of the sun do not set in order to cultivate the lackeys of the Orientals, which can be regarded as painstaking.

Little by little, time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the winter of 1803 in the park.

Over the past year or so, the world has been relatively calm and nothing major has happened.

It seems that all powerful countries have focused their ideas on the development and construction of national strength.

At least, the Russian Empire was.

With the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway, various supporting facilities are also advancing rapidly. It won't take much time to finish. Moreover, the construction of the double line of the Trans-Siberian Railway has also begun.

For this reason, the Russian Empire naturally invested a huge amount of money. Fortunately, the Russian Empire received a huge loan from the Gallic state. Otherwise, you can't afford it at all.

At the same time, industry and commerce in the Russian Empire also achieved great development.

Various heavy industry enterprises, invested by the Imperial Treasury and Royal Family (DACG), have been built and put into operation. At the same time, a large amount of private capital has also entered the industrial field. However, most of them are light industry.

This enabled the rapid development of the industry and economy of the Russian Empire.

Although it is not yet comparable to other European powers, it is already much better.

If this continues, soon the Russian Empire will become an industrial power. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

Never again will it be ridiculed as a gas station disguised as a country like another time and space!

At the same time, over the past year or so, the international situation has become increasingly tense.

Europe, with the continuous growth of national strength. The Germanic Empire became more and more aggressive. The German Emperor Wilhelm II even shouted out the sword of the Germans, the slogan of fighting for the land under the sun for the Germans. This is widely regarded by the outside world as a declaration that the Germans want to challenge the supremacy of the Sun Never Set.

And this, naturally, makes the sun never set people nervous.

In the Far East, the national power of the Eastern Empire is constantly growing. The two Kasuga class armored cruisers they purchased from the Caesar Kingdom have returned to serve in China, which has greatly increased the naval strength of the Eastern Empire.

At the same time, the two Katori-class battleships ordered by the Toyo Empire to the Sun Never Set Empire have also started construction.

Although, originally intended to build it yourself, it turned into having to order from the Sun Never Sets Empire. However, once these two Katori-class battleships were completed and put into service, the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean would be enough to build their Eighth Eighth Fleet. This will greatly increase the strength of the Oriental Imperial Navy.

The desire of the Imperial Navy of the East to build battleships on its own did not end there. Although it failed on the Katori-class battleship and was slapped in the face. However, they were not discouraged. Instead, he actively prepared and planned to build a battleship more powerful than the Katori-class battleships.

This is the Satsuma-class battleship of the Imperial Navy of the East.

The Oriental Empire's naval yard in Yokosuka and its naval yard in Kure Harbor are already actively preparing for it. They are already building large slipways, upgrading machinery and equipment, preparing for the construction of their own battleships.

Perhaps, it will not be long before the Satsuma-class battleships will be able to start construction. This would become the first domestic battleship of the Imperial Navy of the East. Once successful, the Toyo Empire would become one of the few powers in the world that could build battleships on its own.

The strength of the Eastern Empire is getting stronger and stronger, and the masters behind them are not falling and fanning the flames, which has also made the situation in the Far East more and more tense.

The pace of war seems to be getting closer and closer.
