Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Chapter 241 Confrontation At Sea (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

In order to break through the blockade of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy on the Tsugaru Strait, the Orientals sent reinforcements to Hokkaido Island, and they did not hesitate to put the remaining destroyers, gunboats and torpedo boats of the Eastern Imperial Navy into the battle.

However, this caused them huge losses, and they were unable to break the blockade of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy.

So much so that the Eastern Empire can no longer send warships to break through the Tsugaru Strait.

This also made the Russian Imperial Navy only need to leave two light cruisers and a few destroyers, which is enough to block the Tsugaru Strait.

Coupled with the battle of the Tsarist Russian Empire Army in Hokkaido Island, it has won a decisive victory.

The main forces of the 66th and 67th Divisions of the Eastern Army Infantry have been wiped out, and only a very small number of troops have fled to the deep mountains and old forests to fight tenaciously. This will not have much impact on the Tsarist Russian Empire's control of Hokkaido Island.

Under such circumstances, the Tsarist Russian Navy can already transfer the main fleet to carry out other combat missions.

The coastline of the Eastern Empire is very long, and it is undoubtedly very difficult for the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy to completely block the entire Eastern Empire. Or rather, it simply cannot be done.

Even if the Tsarist Russian Navy's local fleet and the Pacific Fleet 03 all add up, there are only dozens of warships. Compared with the long coastline of the Oriental Empire, this is nothing at all.

Fortunately, these warships of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy can sail continuously, and one warship can block a long section of coastline. In addition, the Tsarist Russian Navy can keep an eye on the large port cities of the Orientals and prevent the merchant ships of the Orientals from entering these ports. Then, even if the Eastern Empire cannot be completely blocked, at least most of the merchant ships of the Eastern Empire cannot enter the port. In this case, the blockade of the Eastern Empire was barely completed.

Once the maritime transportation lines of the Eastern Empire were cut off. Then, it will undoubtedly be very difficult for the Eastern Empire to continue to persevere.

In order to ensure the success of this operation, the Tsarist Russian Navy also did its best.

Six 'Mikhail I-class' battleships of the local fleet, 12 'Mosk-class' heavy cruisers, 14 of the 18 'Rostov-class' light cruisers, plus 20 A-class destroyers [all into the blockade.

At the same time, the four 'Ekaterina II-class' battleships of the Pacific Fleet, the 'Navarin' battleship, the captured five 'Sovereign-class' battleships on which the sun never sets, as well as the 'Tsarist Russian Empire' armored cruiser and The armored cruiser 'Rurik', the six 'Cressy-class' armored cruisers and one 'Derek-class' armored cruiser that captured the sun never set, as well as several protected cruisers of the Pacific Fleet, were all thrown into the blockade. .

It can be said that the main fleet of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy has all been put into the blockade.

In terms of the current situation of the Eastern Empire, it is impossible to break the blockade of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy.

Of course, the enemy that the Tsarist Russian Imperial Navy really had to guard against was still the sun never set.

However, at present, the Far East Fleet of the Imperial Navy, on which the sun never sets, only has three 'Sovereign-class' battleships, six 'Duncan-class' battleships, and six 'Old Man Star' battleships that were urgently transferred from the Mediterranean Fleet. Plus some armored and protected cruisers.

Although the overall strength is good, compared with the current main fleet of the Tsarist Russian Navy, it does not have an advantage at all. No matter in terms of battleships, armored cruisers, and other warships, the Far East Fleet of the Imperial Navy on which the sun never sets alone cannot suppress the Tsarist Russian Navy at all.

Unless the sun never sets, the Royal Navy of the Empire continues to deploy more warships from the Mediterranean Fleet and the local fleet for reinforcements.

However, let's not talk about whether the empire on which the sun never sets will make such a determination to reinforce the Far East despite the lack of strength in other sea areas. Even if the empire on which the sun never sets really did so. However, this also takes a lot of time.

At least until the arrival of reinforcements from which the sun never sets, the Far East Fleet, where the sun never sets, dare not act rashly. Once there is a conflict between the two sides, and even if the gun goes off, the sun never sets and no one will have the slightest chance of winning. If it is not done well, it will be severely injured.

This means that for at least the next month, the Eastern Empire will be blocked, and the sea trade lines will also be cut off. They will pay a very heavy blow for this.

"Boom! Boom!"

After a large number of warships of the Tsarist Russian Navy appeared in the coastal waters of the Eastern Empire, they immediately launched an attack.

All ships flying the flag of the Eastern Empire, whether they were merchant ships or cruise ships, or even fishing boats, were attacked.

Either stop the ship immediately and be captured by the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy. Or get sunk.

For a time, the waters near the Eastern Empire were jittery.

The maritime trade lines of the Eastern Empire are already facing the risk of being cut off.

This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Eastern Empire.

"Damn Russians, they are going to put us to death!" Prime Minister Gui Taro cursed.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we must immediately ask for the help of the Sun Never Sets. If we continue to be blocked by the Russians in this way, the consequences will be unimaginable. We have a large number of products that cannot be transported out. If we cannot deliver on time, it will only be liquidated damages." , is not a small amount. In addition to 523, a large amount of raw materials cannot be transported back to the mainland, which will force our industrial enterprises to stop production. At the same time, domestic grain cannot last much longer. The price of rice has been rising continuously. It is on the rise. If it continues like this, the people will definitely be very dissatisfied." Minister of Finance Sone Arasuke reminded.

General Gui Taro nodded again and again, he was also aware of this problem.

The Orientals, who were already unable to fight back against the Tsarist Russian Empire, could only ask for help from the Sun Never Sets, hoping that the Sun Never Sets could give them a hand at this critical moment.

"Contact the Sun Never Sets immediately, we need them to ensure the safety of our sea transportation line!" General Gui Taro ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Naval Minister Gonbei Yamamoto replied.

September 22, 1804 [outside Winter Bay.

The armored cruiser "Rurik" of the Tsarist Russian Navy, the armored cruiser "Drake", which has already been captured, and two destroyers blocked the Uraga waterway entering and leaving Dongjing Bay. So that the merchant ships of the Orientals could not enter.

At the same time, the fleet that never sets is blocked outside.

The battleships 'Resolution', 'Revenge', and 'Royal Oak', which never set in the sun, and several protected cruisers, confronted the Tsarist Russian Navy. .
