Chapter 195: Decisive Battle At Sea (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)
The empire on which the sun never sets naturally hopes that the Russian Empire and the Eastern Empire will fight as hard as possible, and the more people die, the better.
In this way, the Tsarist Russian Empire will pay a greater price, and will not pose a threat to the hegemony of the empire on which the sun never sets. This is why they vigorously supported the Eastern Empire.
Although, the empire on which the sun never sets consumes a lot of resources in the process of supporting the Eastern Empire. However, compared to going to war directly with the Tsarist Empire, the price paid is much smaller.
Hiding behind the scenes and accomplishing the goal with the least cost is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we can clearly see that both the Russians and the Orientals have pinned their hopes on the navy. They all hope to defeat each other in one fell swoop in the upcoming decisive battle at sea," 380 "Thus securing the victory. If the Eastern Empire Navy wins, then the Eastern Imperial Army will make a big move to defeat the Russians in one fell swoop. On the contrary, if the Tsarist Russian Navy wins, then the troops that the Eastern Imperial Army has dispatched to the battlefield will undoubtedly be It's dangerous. Therefore, the next naval battle will be very critical. It even directly affects the outcome of this war." Said Lord Walter Kerr, Lord of the Navy.
"So, is the Japanese navy likely to win?" Prime Minister Arthur Bell asked.
Since the next naval battle is so critical. Then, they naturally hope that the Japanese navy can win. In this way, their efforts will not be in vain!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, from the current point of view, the Eastern Navy still has a great chance of winning. After all, they have obtained a large number of advanced warships from the Empire. Even if the Russians are not weak, their shortcomings are also obvious. One On the one hand, among the warships of the Russians, the old-fashioned battleships of the Pacific Fleet are too old and have very limited combat effectiveness. On the other hand, the quality of the Russian navy sailors is completely incomparable with that of the Eastern Navy.
Of course, the Russians cannot be underestimated, and there are too many uncertain factors in the Shanghai War. Therefore, it is impossible to judge the final result of this naval battle until the last moment. It can only be said that the odds of winning for the Orientals are a little higher.
said Lord Walter Kerr.
Arthur Bell nodded in succession.
They have done everything they can, so they can't go to war with the Russians in person, right? The empire on which the sun never sets has been trying its best to avoid such a situation. Therefore, if under such circumstances, none of the Japanese navy can win. Well, they have nothing to do.
However, from the perspective of the empire on which the sun never sets, and from the interests of the empire on which the sun never sets, it is natural to wish that the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy would fail. This is also in the interests of the empire on which the sun never sets.
"Then, gentlemen, we are now waiting for the decisive battle between the Navy of the Eastern Empire and the Navy of the Tsarist Russian Empire. Hopefully, there will be a result that satisfies us in the end!" Prime Minister Arthur Bell said.
"Your Excellency, no matter what, the dominance of the Royal Navy will be unshakable. No country in the world can pose a threat to us!" Lord Walter Kerr looked very confident.
As the world's number one Royal Navy, it also has such confidence and qualifications.
Time passed little by little, and the rest and maintenance of warships of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy in Cam Ranh Bay came to an end soon.
It is less than 10,000 kilometers from the Mahajanga naval base in Madagascar to the Cam Ranh Bay naval base in the Tianzhuchina colony.
The warships of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy have been maintained at the Mahajanga Naval Base before. Therefore, now only simple maintenance and supplementary supplies are required.
However, the war is about to begin. The soldiers of the Tsarist Russian Navy also need to relax a bit.
The long sea voyage made most soldiers feel very tired. And this will undoubtedly affect the combat effectiveness of the fleet. It is undoubtedly the most important thing for the soldiers to relax and maintain their best condition for the next battle.
At the Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base, Lieutenant General Rozhestvinsky, Commander of the Local Fleet of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and Lieutenant General Ma Carlov, Chief of Staff, are standing upstairs in the headquarters, looking at the warships moored on the pier. ...
"We have crossed more than half of the world from Europe, and finally came to the Far East. The decisive battle between us and the Orientals will also begin. It is also time to seal the victory for this war!" Luo Ri Lieutenant General Jestwinski seemed very confident.
Now, the local fleet has merged with the main force of the Pacific Fleet. In addition to the six "Mikhail I-class" battleships, there are also the "Navarin" battleship and four "Ekaterina II-class" battleships. Even though these battleships of the Pacific Fleet are all old-fashioned battleships, they still have certain combat effectiveness. Even if it is not as powerful as the battleships of the Eastern Empire Navy. However, it is enough to pose a threat to them. With the assistance of these battleships, the possibility of the Tsarist Russian navy defeating the Orientals in one fell swoop in the next sea decisive battle is undoubtedly greater.
"Yes, this war has been going on for several months. The two sides have assembled nearly two million troops in the Northeast region. This is definitely the largest war in modern times. Although the army can resist However, His Majesty the Tsar obviously wants us to defeat the Japanese fleet first, and then assist the army to eliminate the Japanese army at the lowest cost." Lieutenant General Carlos Ma said.
Lieutenant General Rozhestwinski nodded again and again: "So, in the next battle, we 1.4 can only win, and we must never lose!"
"Of course, we must not lose! We will never lose!" Lieutenant General Carlos Ma was also full of confidence.
"Is the fleet ready? If that's the case, then let's go!" Lieutenant General Rozhestwinski asked.
"All the warships have been maintained and maintained, and are in peak condition. The sailors have also completed their rest and are in a very good state of mind [the morale is also at a high level," Lieutenant General Carlos Ma replied.
On July 4, 1804, the main force of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy’s local fleet and the Pacific Fleet left the Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base and sailed into the vast South China Sea.
The decisive sea battle between the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy and the Eastern Empire Navy officially began. .
