Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Chapter 175 The Shameless Sun Never Sets (Fifth, Please Subscribe!)

"Sell warships to the Orientals at this time? Wouldn't that destroy the neutrality of the empire? You know, the empire has declared neutrality in this war. If we sell warships to the Orientals, it will inevitably cause the Russians to Even their allies, the Gauls, will jump out and criticize the empire.” Prime Minister Arthur Bell frowned.

Wasn’t the empire on which the sun never sets protested that the Tsarist Russian Empire leased the colonial port of the Gauls to establish a military base?

If they get the chance this time, they definitely won't let it go easily.

Lord Walter Kerr smiled: "Your Excellency, we can keep it as secret as possible. Only when the decisive battle broke out did the Russians discover this problem. Then, there will be no problem. Besides, "Two Fifty Zero "Even if the Russians know that we are destroying neutrality, what can they do to us? Do they still dare to go to war against the empire? As long as the empire does not openly fight against the Tsarist Empire with the Orientals, the Tsarist Empire will not dare to use force against the empire. "

Arthur Bell thought about it, and finally clicked.

"The war between the Russians and the Orientals is continuing. The main force of their army is either deployed in Europe or gathered in the Far East. Under such circumstances, the Russians dare not be enemies of the empire. Unless they do not hesitate to Therefore, even if we sell warships to the Orientals and destroy neutrality, the Russians will only verbally shout a few words.

In this world, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say. The Russians are old powers, so they should understand this. Even if they protest to us, even accuse us. This will not have the slightest impact on the empire. "

said Lord Walter Kerr.

As a world hegemon, the empire on which the sun never sets still cares about our international reputation. However, compared to reputation, they care more about real benefits.

Supporting the Eastern Empire to defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire and curbing the development and expansion of the Tsarist Russian Empire is conducive to safeguarding the interests of the Empire on which the sun never sets in the Far East and even the whole world. Then, the empire on which the sun never sets will naturally complete it at any cost.

Under such circumstances, it is completely acceptable to bear some accusations even if they do something that damages the country's reputation.

"Well, my lord, let's do it!" said Prime Minister Arthur Bell.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" said Lord Walter Kerr.

"So, what warships are we going to sell to the Orientals? How much?" asked Prime Minister Arthur Bell.

"As far as the current strength gap between the Orientals and the Russians is concerned, they have five battleships, seven armored cruisers, and some protected cruisers less than the Russians. Therefore, we can help them in these areas.

The Far East Fleet can sell five 'Sovereign-class' battleships, six 'Cressy-class' battleships and one 'Drake-class' armored cruiser to them. For defensive cruisers, ten 'Apollo-class' defensive cruisers can be sold to the Orientals.

In this case, the Eastern Empire Navy will no longer be at a disadvantage in terms of battleships, armored cruisers and protected cruisers. In terms of their combat effectiveness, even if the Russian fleet remains at its peak after the Far East, it cannot be the opponent of the Orientals. The possibility of the Orientals winning this naval battle is as high as 70%.

Lord Walter Kerr had a wide smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, the battleships we sold to the Orientals are all the main force of the Imperial Navy! Needless to say, the 'Sovereign Class' battleship, as the first battleship of the Royal Navy, although its performance is a bit outdated. But even in the world In the world, it can be regarded as an advanced battleship. The "Cressy-class" armored cruiser and the "Drake-class" armored cruiser are also one of the most advanced armored cruisers in the empire, with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. Among them, the displacement of the "Cressy-class" armored cruiser is as high as 12,000 tons, and the displacement of the "Drake-class" armored cruiser is as high as 14,000 tons.

Will the sale of these advanced warships to the Japanese cause the leakage of the empire's shipbuilding technology? Will it pose a threat to the Royal Navy?"

Prime Minister Arthur Bell is a little concerned about this...

Although they tried their best to help the Eastern Empire Navy defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy, but no matter what, they still put the interests of the Royal Navy first.

"Your Excellency, the Royal Navy cannot be threatened after selling a few warships. Over the years, the empire has sold a lot of warships. Besides, even if we sell a large number of warships to the Orientals, they are fighting with the Russians. After the decisive battle, how much can we have left? No matter what, the Japanese can’t escape our grasp.” Lord Walter Kerr laughed.

Arthur Bell nodded repeatedly: "These warships sold to the Orientals can increase the price as much as possible. Although the Orientals have no money to pay now, let them owe them first. After the war is over, if the Orientals win, naturally There is money to pay. Even if they lose, they can pay back slowly. In short, the empire must not suffer."

"Yes, Your Excellency!" replied Lord Walter Kerr.

The empire on which the sun never sets sells warships to the Eastern Empire, so naturally it will not lose money. Instead, you have to make a lot of money.

"By the way, we sold so many warships to the Japanese at one time, do they have enough sailors to drive these warships? To make the combat effectiveness of these warships unleash? Maybe, the time is too late." Arthur Bell Fu said the prime minister.

Lord Walter Kerr 2.1 frowned suddenly, he hadn't considered this issue before.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is indeed a problem! If the Orientals cannot bring out the performance of their battleships, then it will not be so easy for them to defeat the Russians," said Lord Walter Kerr.

Prime Minister Arthur Bell thought for a while, and then said: "Since we have already helped them for this purpose, then, let's just help them again. The sailors of the Royal Navy on the warships sold to the Orientals can Accept the employment of the Dongyang people and participate in this battle as mercenaries. Their life and death will have nothing to do with the empire. Of course, the Dongyang people have to pay for this and ensure their safety as much as possible!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" replied Lord Walter Kerr. .
