Chapter 1682 Everyone is in danger

When it comes to the navy, Queen Elizabeth knows all too well the bitterness of it.

The Russian Navy was established at the end of the 17th century, when Peter the Great ordered the establishment of Russia's regular navy, and it was still fighting against Ottoman's Azov naval battle.

Russia built two battleships, four fireships and a series of ships on the Voronezh River.

At that time, Russia realized the importance of building a regular navy. That day was October 10, which was also considered the day of the birth of the Russian Navy.

In order to gain command of the Baltic Sea, Peter I spent a lot of money and even moved the capital to St. Petersburg.

The Russian army has also begun to establish a regular naval fleet, but the Russian navy started much later than other countries.

So far, this era is only half a century. The so-called century-old navy, the Russian navy came much later and slower than other European countries.

After 21 years of the Northern War, the long-cherished wish of Russia to gain access to the sea was realized, so Peter sighed for a while: "All the students graduated in seven years, but our school took three times as long, but God bless, Graduated with the best grades."

During the Great Northern War, Russia also built the Baltic Fleet. For nearly 18 years in the first half of the 20th century, the main bases of the Baltic Fleet were in St. Petersburg and Kronstadt.

However, their strength is still too far away from the Russian navy's desire to compete with other countries on the sea.

Most of their fleets are still fighting in the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, and out of the Baltic Sea or the Black Sea, the military strength of the Russian Navy is still too weak.

The Tsarist Russian Navy later claimed to be the third largest in the world, but it basically did not establish overseas colonies.

Peter I once lamented, "If any ruler has only an army, then he has only one hand; if he has a navy, then he has both hands."

Tsarist Russia is extremely eager to become a maritime power like Britain and France, but there are some things that cannot be envied after all.

When Tsarist Russia rose, it was a landlocked country after all, far away from the ocean, surrounded by endless plains, and its geographical environment was not that favorable.

Just encroaching on other countries has exhausted him, and in order to gain access to the sea, they almost spent the best years of an emperor.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. Tsarist Russia has a difficult and long road to gain access to the sea.

When Western European countries were building their maritime empires, Tsarist Russia was still working hard to go to sea. When the navy was finally able to go to sea, the world was almost divided.

During the Crimean War, in the face of the incoming British and French combined fleets, the Baltic Fleet could only shrink back and use its geographical advantage to protect itself.

In the later Russo-Japanese War, the Tsarist Russian Far East Fleet was defeated by Japan, and then the Baltic Fleet circled more than half of the world and arrived late, and was almost wiped out in the Tsushima Strait.

All these are lessons brought about by the slow development of the Russian Navy in the future.

As a wise monarch, Queen Elizabeth could not fail to see the importance of the navy to Russia. She never thought that the navy would always be Russia's auxiliary force, and the navy must become stronger.

Even if Russia's land power is too strong, it has no navy, in the Baltic Sea, in the Black Sea.In the Mediterranean, neither of them will have much advantage and say.

And these first-class sailing warships and three second-class sailing warships let the current empress of Russia see an opportunity to form a powerful navy.

They don't need to build the fleet themselves at all, they can leave it all to that rookie country called the White Iron Kingdom.

And they only need to keep training their naval team hard, which will greatly shorten the time for them to build a powerful navy.

Thinking of this, Queen Elizabeth couldn't help but feel a little excited, after all, who can refuse to have a powerful navy.

For an empire whose ambition is almost gushing out, it is undoubtedly very tempting to have a powerful navy, even to compete with Britain, France, Spain and other countries. None will refuse.

The five warships gave the Russian minister a huge shock, especially in the eyes of the Russian ministers, especially those generals who understand naval strategy, these two first-class sailing warships are undoubtedly more precious than gold.

These two behemoths are almost treasures bestowed by God in their hearts. Through these two first-class sailing warships, they can completely carry out reverse derivation, and even obtain the advanced technology they dream of building a first-class sailing warship.

While Britain and France are taking whatever they want at sea, Russia is still writhing in small fish ponds with the Ottomans and the Nordic countries in the small Baltic Sea and the Black Sea.

They are well-known European powers, how can they be weaker than other countries in sea power?

But now, they saw a huge opportunity, not only Queen Elizabeth, but even these ministers saw the hope in it.

There is no doubt that the Iron Kingdom offered a gift that they could hardly refuse.

Looking at the hot and intense and excited light in the eyes of many ministers and Queen Elizabeth, Gris Allen knew that the deal was done.

Five sail-class battleships are definitely not enough for Russia to satisfy their desires. They only want more, more first-class sail battleships, more second-class sail battleships, and more battleships.

What Royer Smith threw before the Russian monarchs and ministers was a bright future. How could they refuse to build a powerful navy?

Who can stop Russia from seizing benefits at sea?These ministers of Russia have even seen their sailing warships galloping on the sea, riding the wind and waves.

They will break through the mouth of the Baltic Sea where Denmark is located, go straight into the North Sea, until they reach the English Channel, and even enter the Mediterranean Sea.

They stretched their influence and tentacles farther and farther.

With this powerful naval power, they would not worry about the influence of the Nordic countries on them at all.

Of course, the envoys of other countries also saw the hotness in the eyes of the Russian monarchs and ministers. They felt a little panic in their hearts. They desperately wanted to contain the emergence of this empire with great ambitions for the sea.

This action of Baitie Kingdom undoubtedly touched their interests.

For them, overseas resources are the cakes in their mouths, and the actions of the Baitie Kingdom this time have undoubtedly stirred their nerves.

How dare this Royer Smith, how dare to take all this out for distribution, this is a blatant act of betrayal.

If Zeng Yunfeng could see all this, he would laugh wildly.

This is a blatant conspiracy in the Central Plains. They know all about it, but everyone is powerless to stop it.

The Kingdom of White Iron will definitely not only send warships to Russia, the country of Russia. Similarly, for other countries in Northern Europe, they also need this thing to guard their ports.

Russia has it, so should other countries worry that their ports will be plotted by Russia.

The balance of maritime military power in the Baltic Sea will be completely broken.

There will be a huge loophole behind Prussia. Once the Russian navy grows bigger, it will undoubtedly be a devastating disaster for other countries along the entire Baltic Sea, and everyone will seek to protect themselves.

The arms ban has already started quietly.
