Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 531

The four fleets of the Russian Imperial Navy, because of their different defense zones, faced different enemies. Therefore, the strength is naturally different.

Among the four major fleets, the reason why they want to additionally strengthen the strength of the Pacific Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet is naturally to deal with a powerful enemy.

In the Pacific direction, the Oriental people have begun to vigorously develop the navy.

Because in the world war, although the Oriental people did not participate in the actual war, they did not receive any benefits at the Bali Peace Conference. However, they made a lot of money by selling war materials during the war.

This gave the Oriental people enough financial resources to develop armaments.

The Oriental Imperial Navy naturally became the focus of the development of the Oriental people.

After the Oriental Empire ordered four Kongo-class battle cruisers from the Sun Never Set Empire, the Oriental Empire also began the construction of its own large dreadnoughts.

The current Imperial Navy of the East has built and commissioned two Fuso-class battleships, which are powerful 01 battleships with a displacement of up to 30,000 tons and six twin 45 caliber 356mm guns.

In addition, the two subsequent Ise-class battleships have also been launched and outfitted and are about to be completed. This is also a powerful warship with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons and six twin 45 times caliber 356 mm guns.

Once these two Ise-class battleships are commissioned, the fleet of the Oriental Imperial Navy will be very strong. Two Ise-class battleships, two Fuso-class battleships, and four Kongo-class battlecruisers, all equipped with 356-mm guns. Plus two Hanoi-class battleships. This brought the number of dreadnoughts of the Eastern Imperial Navy to ten.

In contrast, the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Imperial Navy, which had only four dreadnoughts, could no longer compete with the Imperial Navy of the East.

If it weren’t for the fact that the world war would not have ended. At the same time, the Imperial Russian Navy had other powerful fleets. Perhaps, the Oriental people have the intention of attacking the Russian Empire again and recapturing the island of Hokkaido.

This made it necessary for the Russian Empire to further strengthen the Pacific Fleet.

In addition to this, the Nagato-class battleships of the Toyo have already completed their design. Moreover, the battleship Nagato has already begun construction. The second battleship Mutsu, is also expected to start construction next year.

It was the world’s first powerful warship with a 410mm gun. Also, the speed is very high, reaching 26.5 knots. However, when the Oriental announced it, they claimed that the speed was only 23 knots. This was naturally done to hide the strength of the Nagato-class battleships.

Of course, the Nagato-class battleships were powerful in firepower and were armed with four twin 45-caliber 410-mm guns. The maximum speed reached 26.5 knots. And this, naturally, sacrificed a certain defense. The thickness of the side waterline armor was only 305 mm. The thickness of the frontal armor of the turret was only 356 mm. The deck armor thickness was also only 75 mm. The armor thickness of the commander’s tower was only 336 mm.

In terms of such overall strength, it is already quite strong. This is definitely the most powerful warship in the world. Once commissioned, the Imperial Navy of the East will have a great advantage.

Therefore, the Imperial Russian Navy must strengthen the strength of the Pacific Fleet.

After receiving reinforcements from four King-class battleships and two Bavaria-class battleships, the strength of the Pacific Fleet will be greatly enhanced. It was already enough to confront the Imperial Navy of the East. Even, the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Imperial Navy can have certain advantages in terms of strength.

After all, the King-class battleships of the Germans and the Mikhail I class battleships of the Russian Empire, although the caliber of the main gun was only 305 mm. However, the double-diameter ratio reached 50 times the caliber. In terms of power, compared with the 45-caliber 356-mm main guns of the Kongo-class battlecruisers of the Toyo, Fuso-class battleships and Ise-class battleships, although it is slightly inferior. However, the gap is not too large. Especially in terms of armor-piercing ability, it is even stronger.

In addition, the main gun of the Izmail-class battlecruisers of the Tsarist Imperial Navy was also a 356-mm main gun of 50 calibers, and the Bavaria-class battleships were equipped with 380-mm guns of 45 calibers. Therefore, the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy is more powerful. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Of course, what really makes the Orientals jealous is that the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Imperial Navy, which is only one of the four fleets of the Tsarist Imperial Navy. The strength is not inferior to the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy, as well as the Black Sea Fleet. And the strength of the Northern Fleet of the Tsarist Imperial Navy is only inferior to the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Imperial Navy. Even the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy is not weak.

On the whole, the Russian Imperial Navy still has an overwhelming advantage in the face of the Eastern Imperial Navy.

The Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy had to face the complex situation in the Mediterranean. There is not only the Mediterranean fleet where the sun never sets, but also the main naval force of the Gauls. Plus the Mediterranean is still a strategic location. In the future, if the Russian Empire wants to compete for hegemony with the Empire, it must expel the Royal Navy of the 730 countries in the Mediterranean Sea and seize control of the Mediterranean. Therefore, it is also imperative for the Imperial Russian Navy to strengthen the Mediterranean Fleet.

In contrast, the task of the Northern Fleet was to ensure the security of the northern coastal areas of the Russian Empire and maintain the security of the maritime trade routes in the Atlantic. As well as being ready to enter the Atlantic Ocean and fight against the Royal Navy without setting at the same time. Moreover, it is necessary to enter the Mediterranean Sea to reinforce the Black Sea Fleet. In general, the Northern Fleet of the Imperial Tsarist Navy was more of a reserve task.

And for the Baltic Fleet, the task is a little lighter. Around the Baltic Sea, even the current strength of the Baltic Fleet of the Tsarist Imperial Navy is enough to dominate the Baltic Fleet. Even, if it is really necessary, the Baltic Fleet can sail out of the Baltic Sea and into the Atlantic Ocean to reinforce other fleets. Although, the battleships of the Baltic Fleet performed the worst. But in today’s world, except for a few maritime powers, no country can confront it. Even countries like the Gallic Kingdom and the Eastern Empire could not ignore them.

Under such circumstances, the four fleets of the Russian Imperial Navy each had its own tasks. But at the same time, they can also cooperate with each other. Ensuring the maritime security and overseas interests of the Russian Empire.
