Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

“Gentlemen, it seems that everyone is united on this issue. That is, we cannot sit idly by and watch the development and growth of the Tsarist Empire, and we cannot allow the Tsarist Empire to continue to develop in this way. Otherwise, it will become a big problem for the empire! Robert Cecil said.

The other cabinet ministers nodded their heads repeatedly, almost all agreeing with this view.

“So, gentlemen, what do we do next to stop the Russian Empire?” Robert Cecil asked.

“Your Excellency, we should indeed stop the Russian Empire. However, I categorically oppose our personal war with the Russian Empire. The standing strength of the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia has been increased to 1.4 million. And, according to reliable sources we got. In the past two years, the Russian Empire has also strengthened the training and integration of these units. Although, what is the current situation of the combat effectiveness of their army is unknown. However, I am afraid that we will not be able to see them in the same old way as before. Therefore, we must try our best to avoid a head-on war with the Russian Empire! Or rather, absolutely not, like the Crimean War of those years, we took matters into our own hands! The Minister of War, the Marquis de Lansdownne, was the first to speak.

The Royal Navy of the Empire, the most powerful navy in the world, controls the world’s oceans.

Even if the few major navies at the bottom of the ranking are all combined, they are not the opponents of the Royal Navy of the Empire.

However, the sun never sets in the Imperial Army is different.

The Imperial Army of the Sun Never Sets, no matter its scale or combat effectiveness, could not match their status as the world hegemon.

Moreover, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets still has vast colonies to sit in.

This also makes the already small number of troops of the Imperial Army that never sets the sun even more stretched.

Coupled with the huge population of the Russian Empire, millions of troops could be mobilized at will. This is undoubtedly a difficult opponent for the Imperial Army that never sets.

Although, in the Crimean War, the sun never set and the Gauls defeated the Russian Empire by tens of thousands of people. However, that is because there is a generational difference in the weapons used by both sides. The range of the rifles of both sides, the difference is very large. The Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia was almost entirely in a passive state of beating. Therefore, the Russian Empire was defeated in the war.

But now it is different, and there is almost no difference between the weapons of the two armies. Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible for the Imperial Army to want to win more with less.

After Robert Cecil listened, he couldn’t help but frown.

“Your Excellency, the Empire should indeed avoid confrontation with the Russian Empire head-on, especially with the Russian Empire. In that case, it would be a great drain on the national strength of the empire. What’s more, on the European continent, there is another country that is rising rapidly. If this continues, I am afraid that it will soon pose a threat to us. We cannot use all our power against the Russian Empire and neglect other countries! Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Frederick Richards, reminded.

Robert Cecil nodded, he knew very well that Sir Frederick Richards was talking about the Germanic Empire.

In fact, after the unification of the Germanic Empire, industry developed very rapidly.

After the development of a country’s industry, it will inevitably lead to the improvement of military strength.

If this country has strong ambitions, it will inevitably pose a great threat and challenge to the hegemony of the Sun Never Sets Empire.

In the minds of the top brass of the Sun Never Set Empire, the Germanic Empire has become a threat second only to the Russian Empire.

Moreover, at the speed of development of the Germanic Empire, it may soon be able to replace the Russian Empire and become the country on the European continent that poses the greatest threat to the Empire of the Sun Never Sets.

“So, are we helpless against the Russian Empire now?” Prime Minister Robert Cecil said with some dissatisfaction.

“Your Excellency, the policy we have made before is very good and can be continued. At present, the two ‘Fuji-class’ battleships we built for the Toyo Empire have been commissioned and have returned to the Toyo Empire. Inside our shipyard, there are four more Shikishima-class battleships under construction.

In addition, the construction of the two ‘Asama-class’ armored cruisers that the Toyo Empire has ordered from us has already begun. At the same time, the Orientals also ordered an armored cruiser “Yakumo” from the Germans and an armored cruiser “Azuma” from the Gauls, both of which have already begun construction.

In addition, the Toyo placed an order from us for two ‘Izumo-class’ armored cruisers. Construction is expected to begin this year.

Once these ships were in service, the Toyo would have six battleships and six armored cruisers. Such strength is already very good! ”

Lord Frederick Richards, Lord of the Admiralty, introduced.

“But as far as I know, the Russian Empire deployed a whole ten battleships and four armored cruisers in the direction of the Pacific Ocean.” Prime Minister Robert Cecil reminded.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. The Russian Empire did strengthen the Pacific Fleet. However, their battleships were inferior to even the Fuji-class battleships we built for the Toyos. In terms of combat effectiveness, the navy of the Orientals still occupies a considerable advantage. Sir Frederick Richards replied.
