Chapter 177 The Running Dog Took Advantage Of (Second Update, Please Subscribe!)
For the Eastern Empire, defeating the Tsarist Empire on the battlefield is undoubtedly the most important.
The Army of the Eastern Empire did not perform well on the battlefield, but the Eastern Empire has made up its mind that it will fully mobilize in the future and send as many troops as possible to the front line to give full play to their strength advantages. Then, defeat the Tsarist Empire in one fell swoop through the superiority of troops and win the victory of this war.
If it is said that in terms of the army, the Eastern Empire still has a certain degree of certainty and confidence. Then in terms of the navy, the Eastern Empire has no confidence at all. The strength gap between the two sides
It's just too big.
Now, the man who never sets the sun has finally decided to give them a hand, even if the man who never sets the sun is here, he still has other careful thoughts. However, the Orientals must not let go of this opportunity. Otherwise, they really have no chance at all.
Under the instruction of General Katsura Katsura, Prime Minister of the Oriental Empire, the Eastern Empire acted quickly.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Eastern Empire, Komura Toshitaro, and the Minister of the Navy, Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto, secretly went to the Legation of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets in the Eastern Empire, and started negotiations with Minister James and the Military Attaché of the Legation, Lieutenant Colonel Davidson.
"Your Excellency the Minister, Your Excellency the Military Officer, I am very grateful to the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets for its support. Without the support of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, we would not be able to rise at all. In this war, it is even more difficult to defeat the Russians. The Empire is absolutely We will never forget the help and support from the empire on which the sun never sets. Once we win this war, we will be the most reliable friends of the empire on which the sun never sets in the Far East, and we will do our best to protect the empire on which the sun never sets in the Far East and even For the benefit of the whole world!" Komura Komura and Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto bowed heavily to Minister James and Lieutenant Colonel Davidson to express their gratitude.
Minister James and Lieutenant Colonel Davidson looked at Jutaro Komura and General Yamamoto with smiles on their faces, as if they were looking at someone who was taken advantage of. In other words, it's like looking at a slave.
Who made the Eastern Empire a lackey they supported? In front of the master, it is natural to show loyalty.
"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Your Excellency, Minister of the Navy. In terms of containing the expansion of the Russians, the Empire and the Eastern Empire share common interests. Therefore, we will help the Eastern Empire at all costs. However, we hope that this transaction must be kept secret. , you must not let the Russians know about it. Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of problems. If it is revealed when you start a decisive battle with the Russians, then, even if the Russians make trouble again, there will be no problems ~," said Minister James.
Komura Shoutaro and Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto nodded again and again. They both wanted the Eastern Empire Navy to defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy, so naturally they would not make further complications on this issue
"Your Excellency Minister, Your Excellency Military Officer, how many warships can the empire on which the sun never sets sell us? Which warships?" Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto asked impatiently.
You know, this is a matter of whether they can defeat the Russians on the battlefield!
"Your Excellency, Minister of the Navy, don't worry, this time the empire will definitely satisfy you." Lieutenant Colonel Davidson smiled, he could understand Lieutenant Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto's mood. After all, now the help of the Empire on which the sun never sets has become the last straw of the Eastern Empire.
"The Empire has decided to transfer a batch of active warships from the Far East Fleet of the Royal Navy to sell to you. After all, time is running out, and it is too late to rebuild the warships. The active warships of the Royal Navy are well maintained and their combat power is maintained. At its peak state. After the Eastern Empire buys it, it can enter the army directly, and it will soon be able to form combat effectiveness." Lieutenant Colonel Davidson continued.
Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto nodded again and again, although buying an old ship is not as good as a new one. But at this juncture, if you can buy a battleship, it is already blessed by Amaterasu, how can you be picky and picky!
"The Empire intends to sell five 'Sovereign-class' battleships, six 'Cressy-class' armored cruisers, one 'Drake-class' armored cruiser, and one 'Apollo-class protected cruiser' to your country." Davidson Zhong said the school.
"Ah!" Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto exclaimed when he heard the names of these ships.
As the Minister of the Navy of the Eastern Empire, he is very familiar with the warships of the navies of various countries. In particular, he is very clear about the advanced warships of the Royal Navy.
However, he still didn't expect that the Sun Never Sets people would be so generous this time, and would sell them so many advanced warships, which simply solved their urgent need!
"Yamamoto-kun? Is there a problem? Does the man who never sets the sun want to sell some warships to fool us?" Komura Shoutaro asked in a low voice.
He is not a soldier, and he has nothing to do with the navy, so he doesn't know the performance of these warships.
Seeing that Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto lost his composure, he thought that the man who never sets the sun was fooling them.
`々No, Mr. Komura, these warships are very advanced warships. If we have these warships, then we will definitely win!" The smile on Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto's face could no longer be suppressed.
"That's good, good!" Komura Kotaro finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they are very clear that these advanced warships sold by the sun never sets will definitely not be cheap.
However, being able to spend money to buy these warships is already the luck of the Eastern Empire. If the empire on which the sun never sets refuses to give them a hand at this critical juncture, that is the biggest problem.
"In addition, considering that the empire sells so many warships to your navy at one time, your navy may not be able to find enough sailors to drive these warships in a short while. In this case, the performance of the warships will not be fully utilized. It is impossible to form combat power in a short period of time. It may not be so easy to defeat the Russians. Therefore, the Imperial Navy decided that all the officers and soldiers on these warships could be employed by the Eastern Empire. During the battle, the admiral of the warship will raise the flag of the Eastern Empire. I think this can definitely solve the biggest problem faced by the Eastern Imperial Navy." Lieutenant Colonel Davidson continued.
Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto nodded again and again. After buying these warships from Hibusetren, if he wants to drive these warships, he must trust at least tens of thousands of sailors. Moreover, it takes a lot of time to get familiar with these warships, and then conduct running-in training before they can form combat effectiveness.
In this case, it will take a lot of time. Direct employment of people who never set the sun will undoubtedly solve this problem fundamentally.
Of course, Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto is also very clear that these are not free, they cost money. .
