Chapter 145 Hiding Behind The Scenes (Fifth More, Please Subscribe!)
Arthur Bell, Prime Minister of the Empire on which the sun never sets, has a serious expression, although he is not a soldier. However, he also knows very well that if the navy of the Orientals cannot defeat the navy of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
Then, it is almost impossible for the Orientals to win this war.
Even, the Orientals will lose completely.
This is undoubtedly a great blow to the layout of the empire on which the sun never sets for many years.
Therefore, the empire on which the sun never sets must avoid this as much as possible.
"Gentlemen, we have to find a way to help the Dongyang people. If the Dongyang people's navy can win, then at least they can remain invincible in this battle. In this way, the Dongyang people will fight for the land battlefield We will continue to send more troops to participate in the "893" war. Only then can we take advantage of this opportunity and make the Tsarist Empire pay heavy losses. Otherwise, our plan will probably fail!" Arthur Bell Fu said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." The other cabinet ministers answered one after another.
However, how to help the Orientals is a problem.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, according to our previous plan, we will block the Suez Canal and prohibit the passage of Russian warships. At the same time, we will send warships to follow the Russian fleet to provide intelligence support for the Orientals. However, this is probably far from Not enough. Judging from the information currently available, the fleet dispatched by the Russians from Europe will probably include 6 battleships and 12 armored cruisers. If the main force of the Pacific Fleet that has escaped is added, the Russians will be able to Gather 11 battleships and 17 armored cruisers in the decisive battle.
In contrast, the Orientals have only 6 battleships and 8 armored cruisers, and they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of battleships. In terms of the performance of the battleship, I'm afraid it can't take advantage of it.
Even if the main Russian fleet traveled thousands of miles to the Far East, the sailors were scarce and the warships were severely damaged. However, it is still not easy for the Orientals to win. Even "It's all very difficult!"
Lord Walter Kerr, Lord of the Admiralty, reported.
"Is there any other way for us to help the Orientals?" Prime Minister Arthur Bell asked a little irritably.
"Of course, Your Excellency Prime Minister, we will do it ourselves. With the strength of the Royal Navy, it is enough to kill the Russian fleet. The local fleet ambushed the Russian Northern Fleet. The Mediterranean Fleet ambushed the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The Far Eastern Fleet cooperated with the Orientals to encircle and suppress Russia. Human Pacific Fleet," said Lord Walter Kerr.
"God! Your Excellency, what are you kidding? The Empire must not be involved in this war. No matter what the battle is like, the Empire will never end it in person!" Foreign Secretary Philips Morris Reese exclaimed.
"Yes, Your Excellency. I have no doubt that the Royal Navy has enough strength to defeat the Russian fleet. However, I don't want the Russian army to penetrate Afghanistan and appear on the Tianzhu Peninsula!" St. John Burke, Minister of Indian Affairs Roderick also complained.
Prime Minister Arthur Bell's expression also turned serious.
"Your Excellency, this issue is indeed not a joke. We cannot easily make enemies with the Russians. At least, it is not the time yet." Prime Minister Arthur Bell said.
Lord Walter Kerr shrugged helplessly: "Your Excellency, if this is the case, then I am afraid there is no other way. In fact, I think this is a good opportunity. Don't worry that the Russians will take the opportunity to attack the Tianzhu Peninsula. They are deployed in the The troops in the Asian region have already been transferred to the Far East. There are only a few cavalry brigades stationed in the Central Asian region. The troops we deploy in the Tianzhu Peninsula and the indigenous troops formed on the Tianzhu Peninsula are enough to resist the Russians. If there is If necessary, we can continue to mobilize. We can transfer some troops from the mainland to reinforce the Tianzhu Peninsula. At the same time, we can also mobilize some natives on the Tianzhu Peninsula to form more troops.
Anyway, there are too many aborigines on the Tianzhu Peninsula, and they are good at breeding like cockroaches. It is also a very good idea to let them consume the Russians. "
Indeed, Tianzhu in this era is definitely a populous country.
In terms of population, it is second only to the Qing Empire.
Although these Tianzhu people are thin and stupid, they are still qualified as cannon fodder...
In addition, the Sun Never Sets Empire has completely tamed the Tianzhu people, and the Tianzhu people are almost willing to work for the people who never set the sun. In this case, the empire on which the sun never sets can fully utilize the population advantage of the Tianzhu people during the war.
Just like the slogan shouted by the people on which the sun never sets in another time and space: "As long as the Tianzhu people are not dead, the empire on which the sun never sets will never surrender!"
Arthur Bell was slightly moved by this proposal.
But in the end, he controlled himself and suppressed this thought.
"Our enemies are not only the Russians. The Germans are rising too fast, and the threat they pose to us will soon surpass the Russians. If we go to war with the Russians, the Germans will be very happy Yes. We can't give the Germans that chance. So, no matter how the battle goes, we still can't participate in it!" said Arthur Bell.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. Then, we can only pray to God, and the Orientals will have good luck." Lord Walter Kerr said.
Arthur Bell nodded: "Of course, we should support the Orientals, not less. Let them have at least one more chance of winning. If they can defeat the Russian fleet, that would be the best .”
"Okay, Your Excellency Prime Minister. I have ordered that the Mediterranean Fleet is assembled towards the Suez Canal at 0.7. We will prohibit the Russian fleet from passing through the canal. If they want to go to the Far East, they have to honestly bypass the Cape of Good Hope. More than 20,000 After a voyage of 30,000 kilometers or even 30,000 kilometers, it is very difficult to say how much combat power the Russian warships can have.
Of course, if the Orientals fail to defeat the Russians under such circumstances. Then there is nothing we can do. It can only be that they have no chance to rise.
said Lord Walter Kerr.
"Okay, let's do it. Gentlemen, everything we do is for the benefit of the empire. Hope, God bless the empire!" Arthur Bell said.
"God bless the empire!" The other ministers of the empire on which the sun never sets echoed. .
