The sun never sets the empire, the naval staff.
The First Sea Lord, the Chief of Staff of the Navy, Viscount John Jericho, put down the telegram in his hand, and his face became very ugly.
After leading the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Set Empire to defeat the Germans in the Battle of Jutland, at least that’s how the Sun Never Set people advertised. Although, the losses of the Royal Navy of the Empire that never set were greater than those of the Germanic Imperial Navy. However, they were strategically victorious. And Admiral John Jericho, as the commander of the fleet, was also canonized as a viscount. Now he is the First Sea Lord, which is the highest military position in the Royal Navy of the Empire.
As for the Lord of the Admiralty, it is often civilian officials appointed by cabinet ministers.
“Is this news true? The Russians received a large number of battleships from the Germans? All the capital ships of the Germans were plundered by the Russians? Viscount John Jellicoe’s expression was very serious.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Minister. We have confirmed the source of the message. The Russians raided the Kiel Harbor Naval Base and the Wilhelmshaven Naval Base and captured the warships. The Germans did not leave any remaining forces in these two military ports. So much so that the Russians easily succeeded. An admiral replied.
“Abominable! Damn the Russians, damn the Germans. Did they watch the Russians seize those ships? Those warships will not be able to drive away for a while. Why didn’t they mobilize troops to attack and retake the military port? Viscount John Jelliko was furious.
He knew exactly what it would mean once the Russians got their hands on those ships.
Originally, the Imperial Russian Navy had only six Mikhail I-class battleships and six Izmail-class battlecruisers. In total, there were only 12 dreadnoughts. In front of the powerful Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire, it is nothing at all. Other former dreadnoughts and the like were not put in the eyes of the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Setting.
But now, after the Russians obtained a large number of warships from the Germans, they instantly became a powerful navy second only to the Royal Navy of the Empire!
Even, the threat posed by the Tsarist Imperial Navy to the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire was greater than the threat posed by the German Imperial Navy to the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Setting.
After all, the Germanic Imperial Navy was powerful though. However, the shortcomings are also very obvious. That is, the lack of resources, it is impossible to maintain a high-speed shipbuilding state for a long time.
But the Russian Empire is completely different! The Russian Empire was a vast country, with a large population and extremely rich resources. With the exception of a very small number of resources, the Russian Empire lacked almost nothing.
This meant that once the Russian Empire decided to compete with the Royal Navy in naval terms. Then, the sun never sets, the Royal Navy of the Empire will face very, very great pressure.
The Russian Imperial Navy can continue to build more warships to challenge the hegemony of the Royal Navy.
And the Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets may be very difficult to maintain its hegemony.
Especially when the Sun Never Sets Empire has already consumed a lot of strength in the just-concluded world war, it is undoubtedly more difficult to suppress the Russian Imperial Navy.
“Your Excellency, the Germans did not launch an attack on the military port. I don’t know if I dare, or because of other reasons. Our people, now looking for new information’. The general replied.
“Abominable!” Viscount John Jellico couldn’t help but scold.
He knew very well that this time the sun never set the imperial royal navy was really in very big trouble.
One is not good, and it will even cause the hegemony of the Royal Navy of the Empire to be greatly affected.
“Find out all the news as soon as possible.” Viscount John Jellico ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency!” The general replied.
Immediately, Viscount John Jellicho first made a call to the Admiralty. Then he made a call to the Prime Minister’s Office. After that, drive to the Prime Minister’s Office.
If such a big thing happens, what to do next, you must have the high-level cabinet of the Sun Never Set Empire come up with an idea.
When Viscount John Jellicho arrived at the Prime Minister’s Office, the other cabinet ministers also arrived. At the same time, more news is coming.
The other cabinet ministers of the Sun Never Set Empire had very ugly faces. Obviously, they already know about the problem. He has also realized how much of a threat this will pose to the Sun Never Sets Empire.
“Your Excellency Viscount, let me tell you about the specific situation!” Prime Minister Lloyd George ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” Viscount John Jelliko replied.
“‘Your Excellency, Prime Ministers, we have received accurate information that the Russians raided the Germanic Wilhelmshaven Naval Base and the Kiel Naval Base in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Because the current Germanic country is in a turbulent period, these two military ports are not guarded at all. So much so that the Russian raid easily succeeded.
The Russians already controlled all the capital warships of the Germans. They were even ready to drive those warships back to the Russian Empire.
All the dreadnoughts of the Germans have already fallen into the hands of the Russians.
According to our statistics, those battleships included four Nassau-class battleships, four Hergoland-class battleships, five Caesar-class battleships, and four King-class battleships
battleships, two Bavaria-class battleships, battlecruisers vondetan, two Moltke-class battlecruisers, battlecruisers Seydelitz and
Deflinger class battle (Good Zhao Zhao) cruisers, a total of 24 ships. ”
Viscount John Jellicho introduced.
“Oh God! The Russians themselves have 12 dreadnoughts. After they stole 24 dreadnoughts from the Germans, wouldn’t they have 36 dreadnoughts. This amount, even compared with the Royal Navy, is not a big gap, right? This undoubtedly poses a huge threat directly to the Royal Navy! Chancellor of the Exchequer Andrew Rau exclaimed.
The other cabinet ministers also looked very ugly.
They clearly remember that in the Battle of Jutland, the Germans won a tactical victory. In other words, the Germans are not weaker than the Royal Navy in terms of single-ship performance, or even stronger.
After the Russians get these warships, won’t the naval strength be stronger? This has undoubtedly posed a great threat to the Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets.
