Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Chapter 118: Inspecting the Far East!!

The naval leaders 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 356 mm gun with a caliber of 52 times, it is a symbol of power.

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 power of the battleship is difficult to resolutely. 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 that the Izmail-class battle cruisers could be built.

Otherwise, if the speed is too slow, it is not considered ten to occupy the battle column “Foreign ship?

Secondly, a 356 mm caliber naval gun 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 Tsarist Empire could only carry 305 mm guns.

Isn’t that the same as the Germans, big ships carry small cannons?

Of course, the Germanic 123 people attached importance to the defense of battleships, and in the naval battle of another time and space, it also withstood the test.

This point is worth learning from the Russian Imperial Navy.

It can’t be like a battleship where the sun never sets, it’s all thin-skinned and stuffed.

Once hit, it is easy to explode.

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

Mikhail predicted that it would be at least several years before the Russian Empire might have the technical level to start construction.

For the admirals of the Russian Imperial Navy, time has passed little by little to quench their thirst, and in the blink of an eye it has entered the summer of 1802 AD.

Mikhail and Queen Elizabeth Mary have been married for two years.

However, for two years, Queen Elizabeth Mary has not become pregnant.

Although, the imperial ministers were already a little anxious.

However, Mikhail does not care.

In his opinion, Queen Elizabeth Mary was too young.

Giving birth too early is not good for the body.

Therefore, Mikhail intended to take measures to wait until Queen Elizabeth Mary turned twenty before giving birth.

You know, in this era, the level of medical care is not high. When women give birth, it is very dangerous. Even if the queen gives birth, the same is true.

In addition, the infant 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 been tested and there is no problem with the whole process. From Mosk all the way to Vladivostok, it takes a week! ”

Transport Minister Demirit had a smile on his face.

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

This puts Demirit under a lot of pressure and spends his days on the construction site.

Fortunately, after years of hard work and overcoming various difficulties, the main project of the Trans-Siberian Railway was finally completed. Next, the construction of the equipped facilities.

As well as the planning of the double line.

There is no longer a shadow of the opening of the railway.

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

The Trans-Siberian Railway was completed and put into operation, so the last shortcoming of the Russian Empire and your army in the subsequent war with the Easterners was solved.

Once war broke out, reinforcements and supplies from the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia could continue to go to the Far East to reinforce the front-line operations.

The Orientals wanted to defeat the Russian Empire again, but it was useless.

After all, the Russian Empire was much larger than the Eastern Empire.

There are also more armies that can be mobilized than the Eastern Empire.

Moreover, the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia currently has a standing army of 7 group armies.

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 Europe.

However, it is still completely fine to send one or two group armies to reinforce the Far East.

Once the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia was assembled 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 Imperial Navy of Tsarist Russia also defeated the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean in a future naval battle. Then, the Russian Empire will win again in future wars. And the Oriental Empire will lose badly. Even, if conditions were available, the troops of the Russian Empire could have invaded the mainland of the Eastern Empire.

For example, Hokkaido, which is sparsely populated, is very suitable for snatching it from the Easterners.

Although the latitude is not low, but 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 Ocean Empire nearby.

“Very well, this railway is finally open to traffic. Get ready, I’m going to take the train to the Far East for inspection! ”

Mikhail said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Demirit hurriedly 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 estimate all kinds of preparations first.

At the same time, state affairs also need to be well arranged.

The entourage also needs to be properly arranged.

In mid-July 1802, Mikhail took Empress Elizabeth Marie by special train from Mosk to the Far East.

In order to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Tsar, two cavalry brigades will be on the line.

Among the top echelons of the Russian Empire, Prime Minister Pinobeschaev, Chief of the General Staff Admiral Brushilov, and Admiral Alexander of the Admiralty will accompany them.

Domestic affairs are temporarily under the responsibility of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ivan Goremekin.

The Trans-Siberian Railway, which runs through the entire Tsarist Russian Empire, although it has not been developed along the way, or the degree of development is very low, but it also makes this area, the scenery is very beautiful Mikhail and Queen Elizabeth Mary, and there is no hurry along the way.

Therefore, there are constant stops along the way, not only to inspect the people’s conditions, but also to visit the beautiful scenery.

Along the way, it took a full month to reach Vladivostok…
