For the Eastern Empire, defeating the Russian Empire on the battlefield was undoubtedly the most important.
The Eastern Empire Army did not perform well on the battlefield, but the Eastern Empire had made up its mind that it would fully mobilize and send as many troops as possible to the front line to give full play to their superiority in strength. Then, through the superiority of forces, defeat the Russian Empire in one fell swoop and win this war.
If in terms of the army, the Eastern Empire still has a certain degree of certainty and confidence. Then in terms of the navy, the Eastern Empire has no confidence at all. The gap in strength between the two sides is too big.
Now, the sun does not set people finally decided to pull them, even if the sun does not set people in this, there are also other careful thoughts. However, Orientals will never be able to pass up this opportunity. Otherwise, they really have no chance at all.
Under the instructions of General Katsura Taro, Prime Minister of the Eastern Empire, the Eastern Empire acted quickly.
Toshitaro Komura, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Toyo Empire, and Vice Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto, Minister of the Navy, secretly went to the Imperial Legation of the Imperial Embassy in the Toyo Empire to negotiate with Minister James and the Legation Attaché Lieutenant Colonel Davidson.
“Your Excellency Minister, Your Excellency Military Attaché, thank you very much for the support of the Sun Never Sets Empire to the Empire. Without the support of the Sun Never Sets Empire, we simply cannot rise. In this war, it was even more difficult to defeat the Russians. The empire will never forget the help and support of the empire that never sets. Once we win this war, we will be the most reliable friend of the Sun Never Set Empire in the Far East, and we will do our best to protect the interests of the Sun Never Set Empire in the Far East and even the whole world! Shoutaro Komura and Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto bowed heavily to Minister James and Lieutenant Colonel Davidson and expressed their gratitude.
Minister James and Lieutenant Colonel Davidson were both smiling. They looked at the expressions of Sutaro Komura and Lieutenant General Yamamoto Gonbei as if they were looking at a wronged head. Or rather, it’s like looking at a slave.
Who let the Eastern Empire be their lackeys? In front of the master, it is natural to show loyalty.
“Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Your Excellency the Minister of the Navy. The Empire and the Eastern Empire had a common interest in containing Russian expansion. That’s why we will help the Oriental Empire at all costs. However, we hope that this transaction must be kept secret and never let the Russians know. Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of problems. If it will be exposed when you and the Russians have a decisive battle. Then, even if the Russians make a fuss again, there will be no problems. Minister James said.
Shoutaro Komura and Vice Admiral Yamamoto Gonbei both nodded repeatedly, they both wanted the Imperial Navy of the East to defeat the Imperial Russian Navy, and naturally they would not make any more troubles on this issue.
“Your Excellency Minister, Your Excellency Military Attaché, how many warships can the Sun Never Set Empire sell us? Which warships are they? Lieutenant General Yamamoto Gonbei asked impatiently.
You know, it’s about whether they can defeat the Russians on the battlefield!
“Your Excellency Admiralty, rest assured, this time the empire will definitely satisfy you.” Lieutenant Colonel Davidson said with a smile, he could understand the mood of Lieutenant General Yamamoto Gonbei. After all, now the help of the Sun Never Sets Empire has become the last lifesaver of the Eastern Empire.
“The Empire has decided to send a batch of active warships from the Royal Navy’s Far East Fleet to sell to you. After all, now that time is running out, it is too late to rebuild the battleship. The active warships of the Royal Navy are well maintained and their combat power is maintained at its peak. After the Eastern Empire bought it, it could be directly put into service, and it would soon be able to form combat effectiveness. Lieutenant Colonel Davidson continued.
Vice Admiral Yamamoto Gonbei nodded again and again, although buying an old ship is not as good as a new one. But at this juncture, if you can buy a battleship, it is already Amaterasu’s blessing, where can you pick and choose!
“The Empire intends to sell to your country five Monarch-class battleships, six Cressy-class armored cruisers and one Drake-class armored cruiser, as well as ten Apollo-class protected cruisers.” Lieutenant Colonel Davidson said.
“Ugh!” As soon as Vice Admiral Yamamoto Gonbei heard these ship names, he immediately exclaimed.
As the admiral of the Eastern Empire, he knew the warships of the navies of various countries very well. Especially what advanced warships the Royal Navy has, he knows very well.
However, he still did not expect that this time the people would be so generous and sell so many advanced warships to them, which simply solved their urgent need!
“Yamamoto-kun? Is there a problem? Do the sun not set people want to sell some warships casually to fool us? Komura asked in a low voice.
He is not a soldier, and he is not in line with the Navy, so it is not clear about the performance of these warships.
Seeing that Lieutenant General Yamamoto Gonbei was a little gaffe, I thought that the sun did not set and the people were fooling them.
“‘No, Komura-kun, these warships are very advanced warships. If we have these ships, we will win! The smile on the face of Lieutenant General Yamamoto Gonbei could no longer suppress the afternoon.
“That’s good, that’s good!” Komura Soutaro finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they are well aware that these advanced warships for sale will definitely not be cheap. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
However, being able to spend money on these warships is already the luck of the Eastern Empire. If the Sun Never Sets Empire refuses to pull them at this critical juncture, that is the biggest problem.
“In addition, considering that the Empire sells so many warships to your navy at one time, I am afraid that your navy will not be able to find enough sailors to fly these warships for a while. In this way, the performance of the battleship will not be able to be brought into play, and it will not be possible to form combat effectiveness in a short (well) short time. If you want to defeat the Russians, I am afraid it will still not be so easy. Therefore, the Imperial Navy decided that all the officers and soldiers on these warships could accept employment from the Eastern Empire. At the time of the battle, the warship admiral and raised the flag of the Eastern Empire. I think this will definitely solve the biggest problem facing the Imperial Navy of the East. Lieutenant Colonel Davidson continued.
Vice Admiral Yamamoto Gonbei nodded repeatedly, after purchasing these battleships from the people of the sunset, if you want to drive these warships, you must believe in at least tens of thousands of sailors. Moreover, it takes a lot of time to familiarize yourself with these warships, and then conduct run-in training to be able to form combat effectiveness.
In this case, it will take a lot of time. Direct employment can undoubtedly solve this problem fundamentally.
Of course, Lieutenant General Yamamoto Gonbei also knows very well that these are not free and cost money.
