Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Chapter 122: The Mighty Toyo!!

Far East, Lushun Military Port, Command of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy.

In the conference room located at the headquarters of the fleet, the imperial tsar Mikhail, together with the generals of the Pacific Fleet, held a military meeting.

“Gentlemen, everyone knows very well that the next thing our Pacific Fleet will face is the Imperial Navy of the Eastern Ocean. For several years, the entire Far East, including the 6th Army of the Army and the Pacific Fleet of the Navy, has been preparing for war.

And our enemies are the Orientals.

Or rather, the Oriental people who are strongly supported by the people who never set. ”

Mikhail’s expression was serious.

The same is true of the generals of the Pacific Fleet, if everyone did not care about the Orientals before.

So now, with the continuous improvement of the strength of the Oriental Imperial Navy.

Everyone has also realized the strength of the Toyo Imperial Navy.

“The Eastern Empire defeated the Qing Empire a few years ago and obtained a large amount of wealth from the Qing Empire. This also allowed the Eastern Empire to vigorously develop its armaments. You know, the people of the sun never set have been chasing and blocking the empire. It’s no secret at all. In addition, the empire won the victory of the Balkan War and completed its expansion in the Balkans, which made the sun not set very dissatisfied. In recent years, they have increased their support for the Oriental people. We can conclude that in the next year or two, the Orientals will attack the empire. Therefore, the Pacific Fleet must enter the highest combat readiness! Be sure to avoid being raided by the Toyo people! ”

Mikhail continued.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The generals of the Pacific See Team answered one after another.

“Next, I decided to divide the Pacific Fleet into two detachments. The first detachment, which included four Catherine II-class battleships, the battleship Navarin, as well as the armored cruisers Tsarist Reich, the armored cruisers Rurik, the armored cruisers Pametzova and the armored cruisers Nasimov, as well as several faster protective cruisers. The rest of the battleships Peter the Great, two battleships of the Alexander II class, battleships XII Apostles and battleships Gangut, as well as the remaining protective cruisers, formed the second detachment.

As soon as the battle began, the first detachment immediately went to sea, left the military port, headed south to Cam Ranh Bay, and withdrew from the battle.

The second detachment, remaining in the military port, assisted the fortress with naval guns to resist the attack of the Orientals ~ turn! ”

Mikhail said to the crowd.

This tactic made the generals of the Pacific Fleet look at each other, and everyone seemed to be unacceptable.

“Your Majesty, isn’t this an escape? Although the navy of the Toyo people is very strong, we are not weak! We also have our back to the Lushun Fortress, and we can completely fight a decisive battle with the Orientals. ”

A general looked unconvinced.

The other generals also nodded repeatedly.

They ran away like this, which was too Confucian to attract them and didn’t want to become Confucianists.

Mikhail shook his head: “This is not an escape, let alone weakness, but to preserve strength.” Once war breaks out, the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Navy will be reinforced with the main forces. At that time, we have the strength of the navy to crush the Toyos, and we will naturally be able to win this battle at the minimum cost. Instead of fighting with the Toyo to lose both, or even being defeated by the Toyo, why not preserve your strength first?

Everyone also knows very well that the strength of the Oriental people is not so weak. At least, the current Pacific Fleet is definitely not an opponent of the Orientals.

Or, with the Pacific Fleet alone, there is no chance of victory at all! ”

The generals were silent, and they had to admit that with the current strength of the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Imperial Navy, I am afraid that it is really not at all the opponent of the Oriental people In terms of battleships alone, the Fuji-class battleships of the Oriental people have surpassed any battleship of the Pacific Fleet.

A total of two Fuji-class battleships were built, modeled on the majesty-class battleships of the Empire that never sets, with a standard displacement of nearly 13,000 tons and a full load displacement of more than 15,000 tons, equipped with two twin 40-caliber 305-mm main guns, 10 single-mount 152-mm rapid-fire guns, 20 43-caliber 47-mm rapid-fire guns and four 33-caliber 47-mm rapid-fire guns.

Maximum speed, 18.3 knots.

In addition, the Toyo’s four Shikishima-class battleships are more powerful. Standing displacement, nearly 15,000 tons, full load displacement, nearly 18,000 tons.

It is equipped with two twin 40x caliber 305 mm guns, 14 40 x caliber 152 mm rapid-fire guns, 20 40 times caliber 76 mm rapid-fire guns, and 12 47 m guns.

Maximum navigation 18 knots.

These six battleships of the Toyo are all battleships that have just entered service.

Compared to the ten battleships of the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Imperial Navy, even in terms of numbers.

However, in terms of performance, it has an absolute advantage.

In addition, the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean also had great advantages in armored cruisers.

With a standard displacement of 9,700 tons, a full load displacement of more than 11,000 tons, two twin 40x caliber 203 mm guns, 14 40 times caliber 152 mm rapid-fire guns, 12 40 times caliber 80 mm rapid-fire guns, eight 47 mm rapid-fire guns, and a maximum speed of 21.5 knots of the Asama-class armored cruisers, a total of two.

With a standard displacement of 9,600 tons and a full load displacement of more than 10,000 tons, it is equipped with two twin 40x caliber 203 mm guns, 12 40 times caliber 152 mm rapid-fire guns, 12 40 times caliber 80 mm rapid-fire guns, 12 47 mm rapid-fire guns, and the Yakumo armored cruiser with a maximum speed of 20.5 knots.

With a standard displacement of more than 9,300 tons and a full load displacement of more than 10,000 tons, it is equipped with two twin 45 times caliber 203 mm main guns, 12 40 times caliber 152 mm rapid-fire guns, 12 40 times caliber 80 mm rapid-fire guns, 12 47 mm rapid-fire guns, and an armored cruiser Azuma with a maximum speed of 20 knots.

With a standard displacement of more than 9,700 tons, a full load displacement of more than 11,000 tons, armed with two twin 45x caliber 203 mm guns, 14 40 times caliber 152 mm rapid-fire guns, 12 40 times caliber 80 mm rapid-fire guns, 8 47 mm rapid-fire guns, and an Izumo-class: armored cruiser with a maximum speed of 20.8 knots, for two recognition.

It can be said that the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Imperial Navy, not only in terms of battleships, but also in terms of armored cruisers, was completely inferior.

Under such circumstances, nature can only avoid its edge…
