Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Lieutenant General Fuksam, Commander of the Baltic Fleet, and Lieutenant General Alexeyev, Commander of the Pacific Fleet, both looked unhappy, once their fleets were converted to offshore defense fleets. So, wouldn't their status also decline accordingly? No one wants this to happen to them.

"The reason why the fleet is adjusted in this way is entirely for the future development of the navy. Of course, this is only a temporary plan. Once the external environment faced by the empire changes, the plan will change accordingly!" Mikhail Said.

Several admirals nodded repeatedly. Mikhail had already made his attitude clear, and it was useless for them to say anything else.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the Northern Fleet becoming the main fleet. Although Murmansk is a little remote, it can directly enter the ocean. But the Black Sea Fleet can't. According to the "Mist City Treaty" signed at the beginning, we The warships cannot enter the Mediterranean Sea through the straits controlled by the Ottomans. Once the investment of the Black Sea Fleet is increased, it will not be able to enter the Mediterranean Sea and the ocean in the end, and can only circle around the Black Sea. Wouldn’t that be in vain?” Alexander the Secretary of the Navy said somewhat Worry.

If this is the case, it is better to invest resources in other fleets.

Mikhail nodded: "Indeed, the "Treaty of Fog City" signed that year was undoubtedly a great constraint for the Imperial Navy. However, that treaty was originally forced to sign when the Empire was at a disadvantage. Yes. Once the empire becomes stronger, there is no need to abide by this treaty. Besides, although the strait is now in the hands of the Ottomans, it may not be possible to be in the hands of the empire in the future. Once the empire controls the strait .Then all problems will cease to exist!"

The Dardanelles and the Bosphorus are the main traffic routes in and out of the Black Sea. For the Russian Empire, it is also a vital sea channel.

The Ottomans guarded these two straits, directly allowing the Black Sea Fleet of the Tsarist Russian Empire to circle in the small pond of the Black Sea.

Mikhail is already planning to snatch the two straits from the Ottomans in one fell swoop at a suitable opportunity.

Of course, Mikhail knew it too. Once the Tsarist Russian Empire really does this, it will inevitably be strongly reacted by the Empire on which the sun never sets and even other powerful countries.

Therefore, the Tsarist Russian Empire must first become stronger. This plan can only be implemented at least after having a strong military strength.

After listening to Mikhail's words, Alexander, the Minister of the Navy, couldn't help becoming excited.

Although he knew that it was very difficult for the Tsarist Russian Empire to seize the straits controlled by the Ottomans. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has been fighting fiercely with the Empire on the Balkan Peninsula.

However, if the empire can really complete its expansion in the Balkan Peninsula, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to the empire.

"The existing warships of the Imperial Navy should be gradually allocated to the Baltic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet. The eight ironclad ships serving as the main force are allocated to the Baltic Fleet. The rest of the battleships are allocated to the Pacific Fleet. Armored cruisers, these ships that will serve later , Give it to the Pacific Fleet too!" Mikhail continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lieutenant General Fuksam and Lieutenant General Alekseev answered quickly, with smiles on their faces.

In this way, the strengths of the Baltic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet have been strengthened in a short period of time.

Even if the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet will receive key construction in the future, the construction of naval warships is not so easy. At least for a few years, neither the Northern Fleet nor the Black Sea Fleet can compare with them.

The reason why Mikhail strengthened the Baltic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet was entirely based on the idea of ​​waste utilization.

Among other things, on the Pacific Fleet alone, once ten pre-dreadnoughts and four armored cruisers are deployed there, it will be enough to greatly deter the Orientals.

Even the Japanese have great ambitions. But at least at this stage, they are still unable to confront the Tsarist Empire.

This is especially the case when the Pacific Fleet is equipped with so many top warships of this era.

"Next, the Northern Fleet and Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Navy will continue to build new warships. On the Black Sea Fleet, the 'Rostov-class' light cruiser will continue to be built. The Northern Fleet will also start building this type of warship. And Like the Black Sea Fleet, divide into two batches and build six ships in each batch!" Mikhail ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Both Lieutenant General Rozhestvinski and Ma Carlov quickly replied.

"In addition, the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet will build more new warships. This is my plan. First, I will build a faster destroyer with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. Then, I will build another A batch of large battleships, including heavy cruisers with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, and larger battleships." Mikhail continued.

In his plan, both the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet will be equipped with the latest warships. These two fleets will be the main force in the future decisive battle with the Orientals. Even, it will be the main force in the empire on which the sun never sets to compete for maritime supremacy.
