Chapter 173 Panic Of The Orientals (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)
The Gauls' protest against the sun never sets is inexplicable.
Madagascar is their colony, they are willing to allow the Russians to build a naval base in Madagascar, is it possible that they have to get permission from the man on whom the sun never sets?
Even if the empire on which the sun never sets is the overlord, it must be too lenient.
What's more, the Tsarist Russian Empire is still an ally of Gaul, and it is completely natural for the two countries to cooperate in the military.
Besides, it is even more legitimate for the Tsarist Russian Empire to spend money to lease these ports from Gaul.
The most important point is that it was many years ago that the Russian Empire leased these ports to build naval bases. The war between the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Eastern Empire only broke out this year.
All of this has nothing to do with it. How did Gaul break neutrality?
It can be said that on this issue, the empire on which the sun never sets is completely unreasonable!
Even if the empire on which the sun never sets is the world's hegemon, the country of Gaul is also a world-class power. You must know that Gaul and the empire on which the sun never sets have been competing for a long time. Their pride will never allow them to bow their heads to the sun on this issue. In that case, wouldn't it be that the Lord, whose face is 187, is clean?
People who never set the sun naturally know that they are being unreasonable. Therefore, it is only a diplomatic protest, and there is no next step. Otherwise, this will make the relationship between the empire on which the sun never sets and Gaul even more tense. Even conflicts broke out.
At the same time, while the people who never set the sun were thinking about how to help the Eastern Empire, they also reported the news to the Eastern Empire.
It is undoubtedly very difficult for people who never set the sun to help the Eastern Empire Navy defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy with all their strength while avoiding their own end.
The Eastern Empire was also dumbfounded after learning the news.
Prime Minister Katsura Katsura was even more shocked when he learned of this situation from Foreign Minister Komura Kotaro.
"Baga! Damn the sun never sets, are they playing us on purpose? Such important information, they are only now figuring it out? How can we deal with the Russians?" General Gui Taro was very angry.
In his opinion, people who never set the sun are either too incompetent. Either it was intentional. (adfh) This simply puts the Eastern Empire in a very dangerous situation!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Russians use the naval bases located in Madagascar and the colony of Tianzhuchina to rest. Then, the combat power of their warships will not be weakened. This time, the combined fleet will face 11 Russian battleships and 15 armored cruisers. .Our strength is completely unable to compete with the Russians. It is even more impossible to defeat the Russians." Navy Minister Gonbei Yamamoto looked serious.
The Eastern Empire Navy only had 6 battleships and 8 armored cruisers, and the Russians were able to devote almost twice as many battleships and armored cruisers.
No matter how high-quality the soldiers of the Eastern Navy are, it is impossible to turn defeat into victory under such a huge disadvantage. This is simply impossible!
"Then what should we do? This war has already begun. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the army have fought bloody battles with the Russians in the Koryo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. This war cannot be stopped. Unless we can fight against the Russians on the battlefield Defeat the Russians, or we will be defeated by the Russians. Of course, I believe that no one wants us to be defeated by the Russians." General Gui Taro said.
The high-level officials of the other Eastern Empire also had very ugly expressions.
The current Eastern Empire is indeed on the verge of riding a tiger, and there is no way to turn back!
What's more, even if they have a new peace talk with the Russians now, the Russians will never agree. Even if the Russians agree, they will definitely put forward very harsh conditions.
"Can you find a solution to the people who never set the sun? Let them mediate the war. The people who never set the sun have made such a big mistake, so they should try their best to help us." Minister of Internal Affairs Tadakatsu Utsumi asked.
"Even if the man whose sun never sets wants to mediate, the Russians may not give him face. In the war between the Russians and the Ottomans, the man whose sun never sets also mediated. But the Russians still did not give them face Face? Besides, although we are supported by people who never set the sun, they use us as pawns. When we can play a role, they will help us. But if we are no longer useful, then we will start from Chess pieces become discarded pieces!" Foreign Minister Komura Jutaro said.
"The man on whom the sun never sets is too unreliable. They are trying to push the empire into the fire pit! If the navy can't win. Then, what should the army do? So many soldiers in the army are fighting the Russians bloody. Even if they want to It’s too late to withdraw from the battle!” Lieutenant General Terauchi Masaki, Minister of War, was also very annoyed.
You must know that the troops of the Eastern Empire Army on the battlefield are as high as 21 infantry divisions, two cavalry brigades and two field heavy artillery brigades. Among them, this is not counting the supplementary forces for the Third Army.
The Eastern Army paid such a high price, although it has not yet been able to defeat the Tsarist Russian Army. However, at any rate, they have held back a large number of Russian troops and caused certain losses to the Russians.
Even, the high level of the Eastern Empire Army firmly believes that as they continue to invest a large amount of troops in the future, they will definitely be able to defeat the Russians.
But now, if the navy loses the chain and loses this battle. Then, no matter how many troops the army invests, it cannot be the opponent of the Russians.
When the logistical supply line is completely cut off, one can imagine the fate of those troops. If it is not done well, it will be surrounded and annihilated by the Russians.
The Eastern Empire Army, of course, absolutely cannot let such a situation happen.
"With the current strength of the navy, the gap between our fleet and the Russian fleet is too great. Even if we fight desperately to the end, our chances of winning are very small. It can even be said that we are basically not against the Russians.
If the Russians were on an expedition, the fleet would have crossed more than half of the world without rest and maintenance. Well, our fleet may be able to win more with less. But now, we're up against the Russians at their peak. How can we defeat the Russians when their strength is far inferior to the Russians?"
Lieutenant General Togo Heihachiro, commander of the United Fleet, also had a bitter expression on his face. .
