Chapter 172 The Sun Never Sets On People's Protest (Second Update, Please Subscribe!)
In the eyes of people who never set the sun, the strength of the combined fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy is undoubtedly much worse than that of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy. It is even more difficult to defeat the Tsarist Russian Navy.
And this naval battle is extremely important, even directly related to the outcome of this war.
Therefore, the empire on which the sun never sets hopes that the navy of the Eastern Ocean Empire can win this battle. In this case, even if the army of the Eastern Empire loses the war, the empire on which the sun never sets will not lose miserably. Even, with the victory of the navy, it can draw a tie with the Tsarist Russian Empire.
This is also the reason why the empire on which the sun never sets helps the navy of the Eastern Empire as much as possible without personally intervening in this war. For this reason, they even offended the Tsarist Empire, and in the name of neutrality, banned the warships of the Tsarist Empire from passing through the Suez Canal.
Unexpectedly, the Tsarist Russian Empire made preparations in advance and built a naval base on the remote island of Madagascar.
This makes all the previous plans of the empire on which the sun never sets do not work at this time.
"Your Excellency, what should we do?" Lieutenant Colonel Howard asked.
"Immediately send a telegram to the mainland. This is beyond our control. It is up to the country to decide what to do next. However, the Dongyang people may be in danger this time. Their navy's chances of winning will be infinitely close At zero." Commodore Wilms is now very pessimistic about the Combined Fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy.
"Yes, Your Excellency the General!" Lieutenant Colonel Howard replied.
The empire on which the sun never sets, the city of fog, and the Ministry of the Navy.
Lord Walter Kerr, the Minister of the Navy, received the telegram from the armored cruiser 'B Laike', and his expression changed drastically.
He never imagined that the Tsarist Russian Empire would play tricks on them on this issue. This directly made the advantage of the Russian Empire in this war more obvious.
"Damn, damn the Russians, they are too cunning. How come those stupid guys who are as stupid as bears are as cunning as foxes now~々?" Lord Voltek couldn't help cursing.
Afterwards, Lord Walter Kerr called the Prime Minister's Office and had important matters to report to Prime Minister Arthur Bell.
After Prime Minister Arthur Bell learned what happened, he immediately called the cabinet ministers and held a cabinet meeting.
"Gentlemen, everyone must already know what happened. The Russians actually have a naval base on the island of Madagascar. Their fleet is resting there. This means that the long-distance voyage is not good for the Russian fleet. What impact will it cause. The Russian fleet will maintain its combat power at its peak before the decisive battle with the Oriental fleet. Everyone knows what this means.
Damn it, we've been duped by the Russians, they're just too damned!"
Prime Minister Arthur Bell was very annoyed.
There was such a big loophole in their original perfect plan, which made Arthur Bell furious.
"Your Excellency, the Russians have a naval base on the island of Madagascar, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations. It is thought that the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet also fled to Cam Ranh Bay in the Tianzhuchina colony. Perhaps, there is the same It is the overseas base of the Russians. In this case, after the Russian fleet departs from Madagascar, it can go to Cam Ranh Bay for rest and maintenance. All Russian warships, before the decisive battle with the Japanese fleet Nothing will change.
Judging from the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, the Russian fleet has a very large advantage. If there is no miracle, the Japanese navy will probably lose this naval battle. "
Lord Walter Kerr is not optimistic about the Eastern Empire Navy at all now.
"The Japanese army performed very badly on the battlefield. They have already suffered a huge price. However, they still cannot defeat the Russians on the land battlefield. If the Japanese navy loses again, then they will We lost a complete defeat in this battle. I am afraid that such a result is not what we want to see!" War Secretary Arnold Foster reminded.
Arthur Bell's face turned ugly again.
"Damn Gauls, what do they want? Are they trying to intervene in this war? The Empire wants Southern Gauls to protest. Foreign Secretary Fitts Morris' face
"Protesting is necessary. However, I am afraid that this will not have any effect. The Gauls just let the Russians establish military bases in their colonies. We can't go to war against them because of this? What's more , The current international situation, as well as the strength of the empire, does not allow the empire to go to war against the Gauls now!" Said Uncle Colonial Secretary Alfred Littleton.
Arthur Bell nodded: "々Diplomatic protest is indispensable. However, it will not have any effect. It is impossible for the empire to go to war with the Gauls for this, which is not in the interests of the empire. We next We must inform the Dongyang people of this. Then think about how to help the Dongyang people’s navy reverse the situation and win this battle.”
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is really difficult. Unless the Royal Navy personally participates in the battle and besieges the Russian fleet together with the Japanese fleet. Otherwise, the Japanese may have a very hard chance of winning." Lord Walter Kerr said bluntly .
With the previous difficulties no longer having any effect, all their plans will face failure.
"No matter what (the money is good), we still try to help the Orientals. In any case, we cannot let the Orientals lose this crucial naval battle!" Arthur Bell Fu said.
Lord Walter Kerr shook his head and smiled wryly, this is completely in the hands of others!
The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets has planned for such a long time in order to cause trouble for the Tsarist Russian Empire. Naturally, it cannot let the Orientals fail so easily. Therefore, it is natural to do our best to help the Orientals regain their disadvantages.
On April 3, 1804, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets summoned the ambassadors of the Gaul Kingdom to the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, and formally lodged a strong diplomatic protest to them, claiming that the Gaul Kingdom allowed the Tsarist Russian Empire to establish a naval base in their colonies. , is simply destroying neutrality. Ask Gaul to explain the matter. He even asked Gao Gui to close these naval bases of the Tsarist Russian Empire. .
