Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Having attended the launching ceremony of the cruiser “Rostov”, Grand Duke Mikhail did not stop much, but took a carriage and embarked on a journey back to Volgograd.

The traffic of the Tsarist Empire has always been a place of criticism.

The territory of the Russian Empire was too large, and the winter was very long.

To a large extent, this made it more difficult to build infrastructure in the Russian Empire. With the exception of a few major railways, railway construction in the Russian Empire was almost seriously lagging behind.

Of course, the largest railway project currently under construction in the Russian Empire is the Trans-Siberian Railway across the entire Siberian region.

In another time and space, the reason why the Orientals launched a war against the Russian Empire at that time was precisely because the Trans-Siberian Railway was about to be opened. Once the railroad was opened, the Russian Empire could continue to transport war materials and troops to the Far East by rail. In that case, it would not be so easy for the Eastern Empire to defeat the Russian Empire.

In Grand Duke Mikhail’s plan, if he succeeded in killing Nicholas II and becoming tsar, he would speed up the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Strive to build the railway before war breaks out. If conditions permit, it is better to double track the railway. Although it will cost more money. However, this not only strengthened the Russian Empire’s control over Siberia and the Far East. At the same time, it was also conducive to the subsequent expansion of the Russian Empire in the Pacific direction.

Grand Duke Mikhail and the murderer of Nicholas II, although brothers, did not have a good relationship.

In particular, after Grand Duke Mikhail showed extraordinary intelligence and won the favor of Alexander III, he was jealous and defensive by Nicholas II.

Between the two brothers, the relationship is even weaker.

Moreover, in the impression of Grand Duke Mikhail, Nicholas II was undoubtedly a man of great ambition and talent, but also indecisive and conceited.

It was under his rule that the Russian Empire gradually collapsed.

Grand Duke Mikhail did not want the Russian Empire to collapse like this, and he did not want to be killed by the Bo Party in the future.

Therefore, he was determined to replace Nicholas II as the ruler of this vast empire.

Two days later, Grand Duke Mikhail returned to the Governor’s Palace in Volgograd.

As soon as possible, Grand Duke Mikhail summoned Lieutenant General Brushilov, chief of staff of the Caucasus Military District.

This general of the Tsarist Imperial Army, who performed prominently in the world war in another time and space, has become the right hand man of Grand Duke Mikhail in military construction and command.

“Your Excellency, is the trip to Rostov still going well?” General Brushilov asked.

Grand Duke Mikhail nodded: “The shipyard side is quite smooth. The cruiser “Rostov” has already been launched, and the next five will soon be launched in turn. The second batch of six ships is also expected to start construction next year. ”

“In this way, the strength of our Black Sea Fleet will be greatly improved. Even, it is completely possible not to fear the Black Sea Fleet of the Ottoman Empire. But unfortunately, the Treaty of Foggy Capital was signed, which stipulated that our warships could not pass through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles controlled by the Ottomans. Otherwise, the Black Sea Fleet will play an even greater role. General Brushilov looked regretful.

“Not necessarily! If we can defeat the Ottomans in the war, or even send troops directly to seize the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. Well, all this is not a problem! Grand Duke Mikhail said.

In the memory of Grand Duke Mikhail, before the start of the world war, a great war broke out between the Balkan Alliance and the Ottoman Empire.

In the end, the Balkan Alliance, backed by the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and the Gallic states, won a great victory, and the Ottoman Empire suffered a crushing defeat, losing almost all of Europe except around Istanbul.

If the Tsarist Empire joins it when the time comes, it can definitely beat the Ottoman Empire to the ground. Taking the opportunity to seize the strait is not much of a problem.

Of course, that would inevitably be strongly opposed by the Empire where the sun never sets.

But at that time, a world war will break out, and the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and the Russian Empire are already allies. Could it be that the Empire will still go to war with the Tsarist Russian Empire because of this?

As long as the sun does not set people’s brains are not kicked by donkeys, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.

General Brushilov frowned, he knew that it would be difficult to achieve all this. However, nothing more was said.

“Your Excellency, has the expansion and rearming of all the troops of the Caucasus Military District been completed?” Grand Duke Mikhail asked.

“Your Excellency, the army of the entire Caucasus Military Region has secretly expanded and reequipped in accordance with your requirements. By now, it’s almost finished! General Brushilov replied.

The standing army of the Russian Empire was up to 1.2 million men.

The original Caucasus Military District consisted of twenty infantry divisions and ten cavalry brigades, with a total strength of only 300,000 men, accounting for almost a quarter of the Imperial Russian Army.

However , Grand Duke Mikhail asked Lieutenant General Brushilov to secretly begin to expand and reequip these troops in order to further strengthen the army under his command.

After a few years, it is already close to success. The army under him can be regarded as strong.
