Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar

"Gentlemen, it seems that everyone is on the same page on this issue. That is, we cannot sit idly by and watch the development and growth of the Russian Empire, and we cannot allow the Russian Empire to continue to develop like this. Otherwise, it will become a big trouble for the empire! Robert Cecil said.

The other cabinet ministers also nodded their heads and almost agreed with this view.

"So, gentlemen, what should we do next to stop the Russian Empire?" Robert Cecil asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we should indeed stop the Russian Empire. However, I am categorically opposed to us personally going to war with the Russian Empire. The standing strength of the Russian Imperial Army has risen to 1.4 million. And, according to the reliable information we got. In the past two years, the Russian Empire has also been strengthening the training and integration of these units. Although, the current situation of the combat effectiveness of their army is unknown. However, I am afraid that we will not be able to look at them in the same way as before. Therefore, we must try our best to avoid a head-on war with the Russian Empire! Or rather, absolutely not like the Crimean War of the year, we took matters into our own hands! The Minister of War, Marquis of Lansdoorn, was the first to speak.

The Royal Navy, the most powerful navy in the world, controls the world's oceans.

Even if all of the navies at the bottom of the ranking are combined, they are not opponents of the Royal Navy of the Empire.

However, the sun never sets and the Imperial Army is different.

The Sun Never Sets Imperial Army, whether it is in size or combat effectiveness, can not match their status as the world hegemon.

Moreover, the Sun Never Sets Empire still has vast colonies to sit on.

This also makes the already small strength of the Imperial Army even more stretched.

Coupled with the huge population of the Russian Empire, it was possible to mobilize millions of troops at will. This is undoubtedly a difficult opponent for the Imperial Army that never sets.

Although, in the Crimean War, the sun did not set and the Gauls almost defeated hundreds of thousands of people in the Russian Empire with tens of thousands of people. However, that is because of the generational difference in the weapons used by both sides. The range of the rifles of the two sides, the difference is large. The Imperial Russian Army was almost completely in a passive state of beating. Therefore, the Russian Empire suffered a crushing defeat in the war.

But now it's different, and there is almost no difference in army weapons between the two sides. Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible for the Imperial Army to win more with less.

After Robert Cecil listened, he couldn't help but frown.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Empire should indeed avoid confrontation with the Russian Empire head-on, especially the outbreak of war with the Russian Empire. In that case, it will be a great loss of the national strength of the empire. What's more, on the European continent, there is another country that is rising rapidly. If this continues, I am afraid that it will soon pose a threat to us. We cannot use all our forces against the Russian Empire and thus neglect other countries! Lord Admiralty Sir Frederick Richards reminded.

Robert Cecil nodded, he was well aware that Sir Frederick Richards was talking about the Germanic Empire.

In fact, after the unification of the Germanic Empire, industry developed very rapidly.

After the development of a country's industry, it will inevitably lead to the improvement of military strength.

If this country has strong ambitions, it will inevitably pose a great threat and challenge to the hegemony of the Sun Never Set Empire.

In the minds of the high-level of the Sun Never Set Empire, the Germanic Empire has become a threat second only to the Tsarist Empire.

Even, in terms of the speed of development of the Germanic Empire, it may soon be able to replace the Russian Empire and become the country on the European continent that poses the greatest threat to the Empire of the Sun.

"So, are we now helpless against the Russian Empire?" Prime Minister Robert Cecil said with some dissatisfaction.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the policy we have made before is very good and can continue. At present, the two 'Fuji-class' battleships we built for the Eastern Empire have been commissioned and have returned to the Eastern Empire. At our shipyard, there are also four Shikijima-class battleships under construction.

In addition, the construction of two 'Asama-class' armored cruisers that the Toyo Empire has ordered from us has already begun. At the same time, the Orientals also ordered an armored cruiser "Yakumo" from the Germans and a armored cruiser "Azuma" from the Gauls, both of which have already begun construction.

In addition, the Toyo placed an order for us for two 'Izumo-class' armored cruisers. Construction is expected to begin this year.

Once these ships were built and put into service, the Toyo would have six battleships and six armored cruisers. Such strength is already very good! "

Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Frederick Richards, introduced.

"But as far as I know, the Russian Empire deployed a whole ten battleships and four armored cruisers in the Pacific direction." Prime Minister Robert Cecil reminded.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The Russian Empire did indeed strengthen the Pacific Fleet. However, their battleships are inferior in performance, and they are not even as good as the 'Fuji-class' battleships we built for the Orientals. In terms of combat effectiveness, the navy of the Oriental still occupies a considerable advantage. Sir Frederick Richards replied.
