Chapter 197 The Sun Never Sets And People Intervene (Second Update, Please Subscribe!)
"Your Excellency, Commander, the people on whom the sun never sets are very proud! It's too arrogant to look down on the navies of other countries except for themselves. Colonel Hayao Shimamura looked displeased.
Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro shook his head: "There is no way. People who never set the sun have the capital of pride and arrogance. They have such a powerful strength that the navies of other countries cannot compare with them. For hundreds of years , They have always been the overlords of the sea, so they will naturally develop this habit of being arrogant. And isn't this also the direction the Imperial Navy is working towards?"
The geographical location and terrain of the Eastern Empire and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets are very similar, and the people on whom the Sun Never Sets can become the world hegemon in one fell swoop, dominating the world's oceans for hundreds of years. And this naturally made the Orientals very jealous. And, use this as the direction of their efforts.
Although, the current strength of the Eastern Empire Navy is still very weak. However, it does not mean that they cannot have such ambitions.
"Your Excellency, Commander, sooner or later, we will be as strong as the unfallen people. We will even surpass the firmness of Shimakan Hayao, who never falls.
Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro nodded, and he was also looking forward to such a day.
Time passed bit by bit, and the distance between the Eastern Navy and the Tsarist Russian Navy was constantly shrinking.
Because the fleet where the sun never sets provides the orientation and coordinates of the Tsarist Russian Navy to the Eastern Navy, the position, course, and speed of the Tsarist Russian Navy are completely open to the Eastern People.
Although the Tsarist Russian Navy knew this, it didn't care.
After all, the fleet on which the sun never sets just followed them and took no further action. The Tsarist Russian Navy can't do anything to the fleet where the sun never sets. Otherwise, it would be provoking a dispute with the empire on which the sun never sets.
Even the six 'Mikhail I-class' battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy are very advanced in performance. However, the Tsarist Russian Navy is not yet strong enough to confront the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets.
The huge number of battleships and armored cruisers of the Royal Navy of the Imperial Navy is enough to overwhelm the Tsarist Russian Navy.
Fortunately, the top officials of the Tsarist Russian Navy believed that their strength was far stronger than that of the Eastern Empire Navy. Even if the Eastern Ocean Empire Navy knows their position, it's no big deal. As long as they are ready to fight and don't fall into the trap of the Orientals, it will be fine.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is completely useless.
At noon on July 7, 1804, in the northern part of the South China Sea.
The combined fleet of the Tsarist Russian Navy and the Eastern Navy encountered each other in this sea area.
The combined fleet of the Eastern Navy appeared in front of the Tsarist Russian Navy. Two "Fuji-class" battleships and four "Shikishima-class battleships" have formed a battle line and are ready for battle.
"Your Excellency, the Russians are here. Their fleet is divided into two parts. One is the home fleet from Europe. The other is the main force of the Pacific Fleet." Hayao Shimamura reported.
"Order the ships to act according to the original plan. We will deal with the Russians' home fleet. The sun never sets over there, and deal with the Russians' Pacific Fleet. We will do our best to hold down the Russians' home fleet. Get rid of the Russian Pacific Fleet within time!" Lieutenant General Togo Heihachiro ordered.
This is a battle plan that they have already drawn up before. The combined fleet of the Eastern Navy will attract the attention of the Tsarist Russian Navy, and the Sun Never Sets will enter the battlefield from the flanks, launching a fatal attack on the Tsarist Russian Navy, and the victory will be established in one fell swoop.
"Hi, Your Excellency the Commander!" Hayao Shimamura replied.
On the other side, the Tsarist Russian Navy also put on a battle formation.
On the battleship 'Mikhail I', the flagship of the local fleet, both Lieutenant Admiral Rozhestvinsky and Lieutenant Admiral Carlof showed a look of victory.
"I have to admire these Orientals. They dared to take the initiative to fight us instead of running away. Could it be that they really thought they could defeat us?" Lieutenant General Rozhestwinski looked very relaxed.
"Who knows what these Orientals think? But for us, there is only one way, and that is to send these Orientals to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. Then, all problems will be solved naturally." Ma Carlof will say.
"That's right, order the ships to prepare for battle." Lieutenant General Rozhestwinski ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Lieutenant General Carlos Ma replied.
The six "Mikhail I-class" battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy's local fleet lined up in a battle line, and under the protection of destroyers, they went straight to the six battleships of the United Fleet.
At the same time, the battleship "Navarine" of the Pacific Fleet and four battleships of the "Ekaterina II class" also formed a battle line [towards the six battleships of the Orientals.
Obviously, the Tsarist Russian Navy wants to get rid of the six battleships of the Orientals in the shortest possible time.
Once these six battleships of the Orientals are killed. Then, the Tsarist Russian Navy will be able to win this battle.
At the same time, the 12 "Mosk class" heavy cruisers of the Tsarist Russian Navy and the 4 armored cruisers of the Pacific Fleet also killed the 8 armored cruisers of the Eastern Navy.
The 18 "Rostov-class" light cruisers and the protected cruisers of the Pacific Fleet also killed the 17 protected cruisers of the Orientals.
Judging from the current battlefield, the Tsarist Russian Navy has absolute advantages in both battleships and cruisers. The navy of the Eastern Empire is still far from being able to compete with the navy of the Tsarist Russian Empire. (of money)
However, at this moment, a fleet suddenly appeared from the northeast sea area.
The big ones are five huge battleships. Next to these battleships, there are 7 armored cruisers and 10 protected cruisers.
The rising sun flags of the Orientals were hung on these warships, which was enough to show their identities.
However, the appearance of these warships was exactly the same as the warships on which the sun never sets, which immediately attracted the attention of the Tsarist Russian Navy.
Bastard, isn’t that the ‘Sovereign-class’ battleship where the sun never sets, as well as the ‘Cressy-class’ armored cruiser and the ‘Drake-class’ armored cruiser? How could they appear here?” Rozjestwin Lieutenant General Ski scolded.
"The battleship on which the sun never sets still hangs the flag of the Orientals. The man on whom the sun never sets is still involved in this battle!" Vice Admiral Carlos Ma's expression suddenly became serious. .
