Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Chapter 112: Empress Candidate!!

Mikhail’s trip to Gaul can be described as a complete success, and all his goals have basically been achieved.

Not only did it get a huge loan from Gaul, it would even be the equivalent of a huge loan for white prostitutes.

At the same time, it also successfully acquired two overseas military bases.

This will make the biggest shortcoming of the future when the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Eastern Empire go to war, no longer exist.

Next, whether it is the army or the navy, the Toyo people have absolutely no possibility of victory. What awaits them will be a fiasco.

The rise of the Oriental Empire will be cut off as a result.

They want to become one of the great powers, and that is even more delusional.

Mikhail was in Barrei, enough time.

After the two sides signed a loan agreement and an agreement on the military base in the concession, Mikhail left Bar Le and, accompanied by Charles Flokai, the second commander of Gaul, took a special train to Marseille, where he would board a ship across the Mediterranean Sea and return to the Russian Empire.

In the Mediterranean, on the warship on which Mikhail was boarding, Mikhail and the Minister of the Admiralty, General Alexander, were discussing the next development of the Navy.

“We have successfully leased two overseas military bases from the Gauls. Then, the Navy will build these two military bases as soon as possible, not only to build docks, but also to build coastal defense fortresses, as well as ship repair factories and other supporting facilities. This will be a matter of the empire’s future wars, and it cannot be more sloppy. ”

Mikhail’s expression was serious.

“Yes, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the task!”

General Alexander replied.

“Your Majesty, although the Gauls have reduced their naval input over the years, their naval strength is still very strong. The number of battleships alone is much more than ours, second only to the sun that does not set. ”

General Alexander’s eyes showed a hint of envy.

Mikhail nodded, and the dead road camel was bigger than the horse.

Regardless of the Gallics, for a long time in the past, they were the great powers on the European continent that could compete with the empire in terms of navy.

It’s just that over the years, the navy of Gaul has developed far less than the empire that never sets.

Coupled with a detour, the gap between the two sides has further widened.

After the navy entered the era of giant ships and cannons, the Gauls once believed that instead of investing heavily in the construction of battleships, it was better to build lightning ships and deal with enemy battleships by means of lightning strikes.

But it turns out that this root just doesn’t work.

By the time the Gauls came to their senses, it was too late.

Coupled with the rise of the Germanic Empire, they had to focus their main efforts on land.

This makes the gap between them and the Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets the sun widen.

“Our Mosk-class heavy cruisers are almost built, right?”

Mikhail asked.

“Your Majesty, the construction progress of the lead ship, the heavy cruiser Moske, has reached eighty percent. It is expected that in the second half of this year, it will be able to enter service one after another. ”

General Alexander replied.

“Very well, so how is the preparation of our Mikhail I-class battleship completed?”

Mikhail then asked.

“All the preparations are almost ready, the shipyard has been upgraded, and the engineers have overcome the technical problems. In addition, we have imported more than a hundred large boilers and triple expansion reciprocating steam engines to the Germanic Empire. According to His Majesty’s request, the boiler we ordered this time was not a coal-fired boiler, but an oil-burning boiler. This will greatly improve the power of our warships. ”

General Alexander replied.

At present, the boilers used by warships in various countries are coal-fired boilers.

But compared to coal boilers, oil-fired boilers will be able to provide more power.

Therefore, Mikhail hoped that starting with the Mikhail I-class battleships, the naval warships of the Tsarist Empire would use oil boilers.

Anyway, the Russian Empire was rich in oil.

The oil extracted from the Baku oil field alone every year could not be used up by the Russian Empire, and a large amount of it was exported abroad.

“We still need to make a breakthrough in technology and strive to be able to produce large oil-fired boilers and three-expansion reciprocating steam engines ourselves!” Otherwise, it would have left us at the mercy of the Germanic people. ”

Mikhail said.

“Yes, Your Majesty. We have organized personnel to start imitating, and we have achieved certain results. In the next few years, it will definitely be successful! ”

General Alexander said.

“Your Majesty, your trip to Li Li this time has captured the hearts of thousands of girls! Isn’t there anything that excites you? ”

Foreign Minister Izvorsky asked.

Mikhail is twenty-one years old this year, and as the Tsar of the Empire, his choice of empress has always attracted the attention of the whole country and even the whole of Europe.

You know, although the relations between the countries of Europe and Saudi Arabia are not harmonious.

Even, wars often break out.

However, marriages between royal families are very frequent.

In other words, they are all family.

The war of occupation is nothing more than an internal war between families.

Mikhail shook his head: “Those women in Gaul are not suitable. ”

“Your Majesty, what kind of woman are you looking for?”

Izvolsky asked.

Generals Sukhhomelinov and Alexander were also attracted to this topic.

Mikhail thought for a while, and then said: “Actually, I have already considered this problem. Moreover, I already have a candidate in my heart. I just don’t know if the other party agrees. ”

At this moment, Izvolsky and others became even more curious.

You know, Mikhail is the tsar of the Shame Empire! And the Sand Empire is one of the ten most powerful countries in the world.

What other woman can refuse to be the queen of the Sha My Empire more?

“The daughter of the previous Austro-Hungarian crown prince Prince Rudolf, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary, is a very suitable candidate!”

Mikhail said.

“Archduchess Elizabeth Mary?”

Izvorsky and the others were surprised, as if they did not expect Mikhail to make such a choice.

You know, although Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary is the daughter of Crown Prince Rudolph, Crown Prince Rudolf has committed suicide.

Moreover, he shot his mistress first, and then committed suicide.

Although Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I is the grandfather of Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary, the current Crown Prince is Archduke Ferdinand!

Besides, the Russian Empire has just fought a war with Austria-Hungary, beating them all over the ground for teeth, will Austria-Hungary agree to this marriage?
