Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 569

After World War I, the Eastern Empire planned to form a new 88th Fleet, that is, on the basis of the previous four Kongo-class battlecruisers, two Fuso-class battleships, and two Ise-class battleships, these eight capital ships equipped with 356 mm main guns, eight capital ships equipped with 410 mm main guns were built again.

Eight new capital ships, including two Nagato-class battleships, two Kaga-class battleships and four Amagi-class battlecruisers.

However, subject to the restrictions of the Five Nations Naval Treaty, the Eastern Empire could only cancel the construction of six battleships and battle cruisers except for two Nagato-class battleships that had already been completed and put into service.

This time, there is finally a chance, and the Oriental Imperial Navy will naturally not let go of this opportunity ~ will.

To this end, they also added four additional Kii-class battleships, in order to take this opportunity to make the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean even more powerful.

Kaga-class battleships, with a standard displacement of nearly 40,000 tons, a full load displacement of more than 44,000 tons, a maximum speed of 26.5 knots, and 5 twin 45 caliber 410 mm – main guns.

The Amagi class battle cruisers had a standard displacement of more than 41,000 tons, a full load displacement of 47,000 tons, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and five twin 45-caliber 410-mm guns.

The Kii-class battleships have a standard displacement of more than 42,000 tons, a full load displacement of more than 45,000 tons, a maximum speed of 29.75 knots, and are equipped with five twin 45-caliber 410-mm guns.

The design data of these warships shows how ambitious the Toyo Navy is. Among them, the Kii-class battleships were designed according to the indicators of fast battleships.

You know, according to the provisions of the “Five-Power Naval Treaty”, the displacement of newly built warships of various countries cannot exceed 35,000 tons. The displacement of these warships of the Oriental has far exceeded the regulations.

It’s just that they are fighting for the sun to never set, and the Gauls and the lighthouse state want to use them against the Russians. So, want to break through the limitations of the treaty.

However, Prime Minister Hara Kei and Minister of Finance Takahashi Kiyoshi had very ugly faces.

These warships of the Navy are too expensive.

A warship costs tens of millions of yen. Wouldn’t ten warships add up to hundreds of millions of yen?

You know, the annual fiscal revenue of the Eastern Empire is only a few billion yen. In fact, after deducting other expenses, there is not much left of military expenditure.

Besides, these military expenses and the army still have to take a piece. Even if it is the military expenses of the Navy, it will also deduct personnel allowances, training expenses and so on. The remaining military expenses for the purchase of ships cannot be used to build capital ships, right?

Now, the Navy is asking for ten capital ships at once, which suddenly plunges the finances of the Eastern Empire into a great crisis.

“Kato-kun, the Navy asked for the construction of ten capital ships at once, and the appetite is too great. Our finances are simply unaffordable. What’s more, if we want to fight the Russians next, we still need to be prepared. In this way, the Navy will first build a few warships, and the remaining ones, and after defeating the Russians, start construction. Prime Minister Hara said.

General Yuzaburo Kato thought about it, but finally nodded.

In fact, he had no idea that the cabinet would approve their plan all at once.

The reason why the lion opened its mouth wide is also to be able to bargain.

Just as the so-called sky-high asking price to pay back the money, asking for the construction of ten warships at one time, then even if they are rejected, they will not be asked to cancel all the construction plans. Being able to keep a few, the Toyo Navy is already very satisfied.

“Then, Your Excellency Prime Minister, let’s build two Kaga-class battleships and four Amagi-class battlecruisers first!

In this way, the Eastern Imperial Navy will be able to form a new Eighth Fleet. That is, eight capital ships are armed with 356-mm guns. The other eight capital ships are armed with 410-mm guns. Together with two Kawanoi-class battleships, as well as two Satsuma-class battleships and two Katori-class battleships that the Oriental people were reluctant to retire, the number of capital ships of the Imperial Navy of the East could reach 22. Of course, the Satsuma-class battleships and the Katori-class battleships are former dreadnoughts and may still be able to have some combat power in the Far East. However, in the face of the navy of the world’s leading powers, it is simply a food delivery.

Prime Minister Hara nodded and approved the plan. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

This made General Yuzaburo Kato very satisfied with this.

Little by little, the world has gradually come out of the shadow of war.

Except for the Germanic people, who are still suffering from the war, the rest of the countries have entered a stage of rapid development.

This was especially true of the Russian Empire, which, after digesting a large number of war dividends, has become stronger than before. Not only the population has grown rapidly, but the economic and industrial strength has also been significantly improved. In terms of industrial output, it has even further narrowed the gap with the lighthouse country, and has barely been able to catch up.

If this continues, in a few years, the Tsarist Empire will overtake the lighthouse country, which is already a matter of ironclad.

Of course, the population of the current Russian Empire was a little more than twice that of the Eastern Empire. Even if the Russian Empire caught up with the Beacon State in terms of industrial output. But in terms of per capita, the gap with lighthouse countries is still very large. Therefore, the Russian Empire still needs to work hard.

At the same time, the army of the Russian Empire had been dismantled. The army’s ten army groups have also completed their reorganization. One unit after another, they are stepping up training.

Although the strength of the Tsarist Imperial Army was much reduced. However, the overall combat power has not decreased significantly. Ten group armies, a standing army of more than two million people, this is definitely the largest and most powerful army in the world.

The strength of the Imperial Russian Navy is also not to be underestimated. Although there are only 45 capital ships, it is a little less than the Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets. However, the Imperial Russian Navy was already a powerful navy second only to the Royal Navy.

And the Air Force of the Russian Empire is also developing rapidly. The latest MiG-20 fighters and Tu-21 bombers are already in service. This further strengthened the strength of the Russian Imperial Air Force.

It can be said that if we talk about comprehensive strength, no country in the world is an opponent of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
