On board the battleship Ivan V, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Makarov, and the chief of staff, Rear Admiral Enkvist, have already received a reply from the sun that never sets.
"Your Excellency Commander, the Sunset people have refused our request, claiming that the Sunset Empire will remain neutral in this war and will not allow warships from either side to pass through the Suez Canal!" said Rear Admiral Enkvist.
"Hmph, as His Majesty expected, the sun does not set, and this is already clearly on the side of the Orientals. What so-called neutrality is nothing more than their fig leaf. Lieutenant General Makarov snorted coldly.
Even though this had been expected for a long time, Lieutenant General Makarov was still very dissatisfied with the behavior of the sun never set.
"Your Excellency Commander, according to the plan, we will immediately cross the Mediterranean Sea and go to join the Northern Fleet. Major General Enkvist said.
Vice Admiral Makarov nodded: "Order the fleet, immediately turn and head for the Atlantic." "
Immediately, the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy began to turn and leave this area, preparing to go to the waters west of the Strait of Gibraltar to join the Northern Fleet.
Before leaving, Vice Admiral Makarov took a deep look at the battleships of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Empire.
Although, at the moment, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy had 14 battleships. However, Lieutenant General Makarov was not afraid.
The performance of the Mikhail I-class battleships, already in service with the Imperial Russian Navy, is absolutely capable of crushing these battleships that never sets.
It's just that the difference in numbers between the two sides is too big. In a situation of three to fourteen, it is difficult for the Black Sea Fleet to have a chance of victory.
If they converge with the Northern Fleet, six to fourteen, Vice Admiral Makarov believes that their odds of victory are still great.
But now the Russian Empire and the Eastern Empire are at war, and the first enemy that the Russian Empire wants to defeat is the Eastern Empire. At this time, it is better to provoke other countries less.
Besides, the Sun Never Sets Empire has not only one Mediterranean fleet, but also other powerful fleets.
The current Imperial Russian Navy is far from being able to compete with the Royal Navy.
However, Lieutenant General Makarov also hated the sun this time. In his opinion, the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet prevented the passage of the Russian Imperial Navy through the Suez Canal, which was completely humiliating to the Russian Empire!
"No empire can escape prosperity and decline. One day, we will definitely defeat the people who never set and make them pay a heavy price for today's actions!" Lieutenant General Makarov secretly swore in his heart.
"Your Excellency Commander, the strategic location of the Suez Canal is too important, and if the sun does not set to control this canal, it is equivalent to controlling the throat of the east-west shipping route! Major General Enkvist said.
Vice Admiral Makarov shook his head: "There is no such possibility at all for the time being, unless the Imperial Navy can fully compete with the Royal Navy." Even, the Imperial Navy was able to defeat the Royal Navy. Otherwise, once the empire moves the Suez Canal, it will inevitably be violently counterattacked by the sun that never sets. At that time, they will even fight with us. For the time being, the Imperial Navy cannot compete with the Royal Navy. So, we need to wait for the opportunity slowly.
Under His Majesty the Tsar, our country is getting stronger and stronger. Although, the navy was not a priority for the empire. However, I believe that His Majesty will pay attention to the Imperial Navy sooner or later. At that time, the Imperial Navy will definitely be able to become more powerful. The Royal Navy battle that does not fall on the same day is definitely not a problem!"
Lieutenant General Makarov has great confidence in Mikhail.
After all, when he was still unknown, Mikhail chose him to be the deputy commander of the Black Sea Fleet and assist Mikhail in developing the navy.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" nodded Major General Enkvist.
On the other side, Admiral Arthur Wilson, commander of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Empire, and Vice Admiral George Callaghan, chief of staff, couldn't help but laugh after seeing the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy.
In their opinion, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy is instigated, which is not daring to confront the powerful Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets. Therefore, he could only escape in ashes.
This further made them feel the strength of the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire. Make them even more proud. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
"Haha, the Russians still fled. They could not pass through the Suez Canal and had to detour through the Cape of Good Hope. So, how much combat power will their warships have left when they arrive in the Far East? Lieutenant General George Callahan had a smile on his face.
Admiral Arthur Wilson nodded repeatedly.
From the standpoint of the Empire that never sets, if the Eastern Imperial Navy can defeat the Imperial Russian Navy, this is undoubtedly the most advantageous.
Although, the strength of the Imperial Russian Navy was obviously stronger than that of the Eastern Imperial Navy.
But the Sun Never Sets Empire also created an advantage for the Oriental Imperial Navy as much as possible. Provide all-round assistance to the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean without personally going to the scene. Constantly created trouble for the Russian Imperial Navy and increased the odds of victory for the Eastern Imperial Navy.
In addition to preventing the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy from passing through the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Empire sent a fleet of armored cruisers and two protected cruisers (good money) to track the Black Sea Fleet. In order to be able to grasp their whereabouts at any time, report to the Oriental people the location of the main fleet of the Tsarist Navy, so that the Oriental people can prepare for battle.
It can be said that the sun does not set, which is already a clear coincidence of bullying the Russian Empire.
Mikhail was on a special train to the Far East that he learned that the people refused to allow the Black Sea Fleet to pass through the Suez Canal, and also sent a fleet to track the Black Sea Fleet.
Although he had long known that this would be the result, he was also very unhappy.
"It's too domineering not to fall behind. I hope that in more than ten years, you will still be able to be so overbearing. At that time, Lao Tzu will have to overturn you!" said Mikhail viciously.
More than a decade later, weakened by the world war. The Sun Never Sets Empire will weaken even more. At that time, the Tsarist Imperial Navy will also catch up with and surpass the Royal Navy of the Empire in an all-round way.
