Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar

After attending the launching ceremony of the cruiser "Rostov", Grand Duke Mikhail did not make much stop, but took a carriage and embarked on the journey back to Volgograd.

The traffic of the Russian Empire has always been a place of criticism.

The territory of the Russian Empire was too large, and the winter was very long.

To a large extent, this made it more difficult to build the infrastructure of the Russian Empire. With the exception of a few major railways, railway construction in the Russian Empire was almost seriously lagging behind.

Of course, the largest railway project currently under construction in the Russian Empire is the Trans-Siberian Railway.

In another time and space, the reason why the Oriental people launched a war against the Russian Empire at that time was precisely because the Trans-Siberian Railway was about to open. Once the railway was opened, the Russian Empire could use the railway to transport war materials and troops to the Far East. In that case, it would not be so easy for the Eastern Empire to defeat the Russian Empire.

In Grand Duke Mikhail's plan, once he succeeded in defeating Nicholas II and becoming Tsar, he would speed up the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Strive to build the railway before the outbreak of war. If conditions permit, it is best to build this railway into a double line. Although this will cost more money. But this would not only strengthen the Russian Empire's grip on Siberia and the Far East. At the same time, it was also conducive to the subsequent expansion of the Russian Empire in the Pacific Ocean.

Although Grand Duke Mikhail and the murderer of Nicholas II were brothers, they did not have a good relationship.

In particular, after Grand Duke Mikhail showed great intelligence and won the favor of Alexander III, he was even jealous and guarded by Nicholas II.

Between the two brothers, the relationship is even weaker.

Besides, in the impression of Grand Duke Mikhail, Nicholas II was undoubtedly a man of great ambition and talent, but also indecisive and conceited.

It was under his rule that the Russian Empire gradually collapsed.

Grand Duke Mikhail did not want the Russian Empire to collapse in this way, and he did not want to be killed by the Bu Party in the future.

Therefore, he was determined to replace Nicholas II as the ruler of this vast empire.

Two days later, Grand Duke Mikhail returned to the Governor's Palace in Volgograd.

At the first time, Grand Duke Mikhail summoned the chief of staff of the Caucasus Military District, Lieutenant General Brusilov.

This general of the Tsarist Imperial Army, who distinguished himself in the world war in another time and space, has become Grand Duke Mikhail's right hand in military construction and command.

"Your Excellency, is Rostov's trip going well?" General Brusilov asked.

Grand Duke Mikhail nodded: "The shipyard side is quite smooth. The cruiser "Rostov" has already been launched, and the next five will soon be launched in turn. The second batch of six ships is also expected to start construction next year. "

"In this way, the strength of our Black Sea Fleet will be greatly improved. Even, it is completely possible to be afraid of the Ottoman Black Sea Fleet. But unfortunately, the Treaty of Wudu was originally signed, which stipulated that our warships could not pass through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, which were controlled by the Ottomans. Otherwise, the Black Sea Fleet will play a greater role. General Brusilov looked regretful.

"Not necessarily! If we can defeat the Ottomans in the war, or even send troops directly to seize the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. Well, all this is not a problem! Grand Duke Mikhail said.

In the memory of Grand Duke Mikhail, before the start of the world war, the Balkan League and the Ottoman Empire broke out a big war.

In the end, the Balkan Alliance, backed by the Empire of the Sun and the Galls, won a crushing victory, and the Ottoman Empire suffered a crushing defeat, losing almost all of Europe except for the area around Istanbul.

If the Russian Empire joins it at that time, it can definitely beat the Ottoman Empire to the ground. There is also no big problem in seizing the strait.

Of course, that would inevitably be strongly opposed by the Sun Never Set Empire.

But by that time, a world war will break out, and the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Tsarist Empire will already be allies. Is it possible that the sun does not set and the empire will start a war with the Russian Empire because of this?

As long as the sun does not set people's brains are not kicked by donkeys, they can only pinch their noses and recognize.

General Brusilov frowned, he knew that it would be difficult to achieve all this. However, nothing more was said.

"Your Excellency General, is the expansion and rearmament of all units of the Caucasus Military District completed?" Grand Duke Mikhail asked.

"Your Excellency, the army of the entire Caucasus Military District has secretly expanded and changed its equipment in accordance with your requirements. By now, it's almost done! General Brusilov replied.

The standing army of the Russian Empire was as high as 1.2 million men.

Originally, the Caucasus Military District was organized into twenty infantry divisions and ten cavalry brigades, with a total strength of only 300,000 men, accounting for almost a quarter of the Imperial Russian Army.

However, Grand Duke Mikhail asked Lieutenant General Brusilov to secretly begin the expansion and rearmament of these troops in order to further strengthen his army.

After a few years, it is almost successful. The army under him can also be regarded as strong.
