Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

The "Rostov-class" cruiser is the first warship built after Grand Duke Mikhail established the Rostov Shipyard.

Grand Duke Mikhail knew very well that in the war with the Eastern Empire a few years later, the navy was crucial.

The Tsarist Russian Empire also admitted its cowardice after it failed at sea.

As long as the navy of the Tsarist Russian Empire was not defeated, but instead defeated the navy of the Orientals, it was overturned. Then, the outcome of the war will be rewritten. The Eastern Empire's attempt to step on the shoulders of the Tsarist Russian Empire to become one of the world's great powers is simply delusional.

Therefore, the navy will be a very important part of Grand Duke Mikhail's plan.

It is also from now on that he has begun to deploy in the navy.

The "Rostov-class" cruiser has a full load displacement of 6,000 tons, and is equipped with three triple-mounted 50-caliber 155mm main guns, eight 105mm secondary guns, six 40mm rapid-fire guns and four 20mm rapid-fire guns. The power system uses a large triple-expansion reciprocating steam engine imported from the Germanic Empire, with a maximum speed of 25 knots. The main armor is Krupp armor steel with a thickness of 75 mm.

Grand Duke Mikhail's own steel factory has begun to imitate Krupp armor steel. This is the most advanced armor steel in the world. If it has been imported from the Germanic Empire, not only will there be a risk of being stuck, but it will also be too expensive.

For Grand Duke Mikhail, the formula of Krupp armor steel is not a secret. As long as it is handed over to the technicians for a few more tests, there will be no problems.

The Rostov Shipyard is a large shipyard. The first batch of "Rostov-class" cruisers built was as many as six ships, named "Rostov", "Cherkassk", and "Volga". Dontsk', 'Elista', 'Stavropol' and 'Krasnodar'.

After these six ships are completed and put into service, a second batch will be built later.

Moreover, after accumulating enough experience, the Rostov Shipyard will build even larger warships.

After all, it is simply not realistic to rely on these light cruisers of several thousand tons to defeat the Orientals.

The Orientals defeated the Qing Empire and extorted a large sum of war reparations from the Qing Empire.

This huge sum of money was not only used by the Orientals to develop military industry, but also to purchase new warships from the Empire on which the sun never sets. It can be seen that the ambitions of the Orientals are very large.

The biggest difference between this time and space and another time and space is that the great voyage was a hundred years ahead of schedule. The history of the entire Western world has been sped up by a hundred years. Therefore, in this time and space in 1794 AD, the Orientals launched an attack on the Qing Empire and won.

Grand Duke Mikhail personally presided over the launching ceremony of the cruiser "Rostov", the first ship of the "Rostov-class" cruisers.

The priest of the Orthodox Church, for the purpose of launching the warship, bless the sailors of the Russian Empire Navy, driving this warship, invincible.

After the death of Tsar Alexander III and the succession of Nicholas II, he has already begun to suppress Grand Duke Mikhail. This has caused the Black Sea Fleet to shelve the new warship construction plans reported many times.

As a last resort, Grand Duke Mikhail can only build the "Rostov-class" cruiser at his own expense to strengthen the strength of the Black Sea Fleet.

Of course, because of the treaties signed by European powers such as the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, the warships of the Black Sea Fleet cannot enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Bosporus Strait and the Dardanelles. This makes the Black Sea Fleet in the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy, can only be regarded as an offshore defense fleet, not the main force of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy.

However, in the eyes of Grand Duke Mikhail, isn't the biggest role of the treaty after it is signed to be torn up?

Once there is enough strength, even if it does not abide by the treaty, what can it do?

If possible, Grand Duke Mikhail even wants to seize the opportunity to defeat the Ottoman Empire in the future and seize the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. In this case, the Black Sea Fleet will be able to enter the Mediterranean Sea freely. At the same time, it also gave the Tsarist Russian Empire an extra channel to the sea.

Of course, it is very difficult to achieve this goal.

As the overlord of the world, the empire on which the sun never sets is now extremely hostile to the Russian Empire. They launched a siege to the Tsarist Empire, preventing the Tsarist Empire from having a good port.

Once Grand Duke Mikhail wants to seize the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, the empire on which the sun never sets will definitely stop it.

This requires Grand Duke Mikhail to have sufficient strength, and at the same time to plan well.

You know, the reason why the Eastern Empire was able to defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire was due to the great efforts of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Without their strong support without a bottom line, how could it be possible for the Orientals to build such a powerful navy in a short period of time?

And in the naval battle, although the empire on which the sun never sets did not personally act, it did everything possible to stumbling the Tsarist Empire, and even blatantly provided intelligence support to the Eastern Empire.

These difficulties are all Grand Duke Mikhail needs to overcome.

However, the biggest problem is that although Grand Duke Mikhail can be regarded as a prince within the Tsarist Russian Empire, his big brother Nicholas II is really in power.

Therefore, Grand Duke Mikhail has already sentenced Nicholas II to death in his heart, he must die! Then, Grand Duke Mikhail succeeded to the throne and became the Tsar of the Russian Empire.

Only in this way can the Tsarist Russian Empire develop according to the intention of Grand Duke Mikhail.
