Robert Lansing, the second commander of the Lighthouse State, successfully concluded his visit and returned to the Lighthouse Country after visiting Mosk.
He seems to have forgotten that there is another naval power in the world, and that is the Eastern Empire.
However, Robert Lansing does not seem to want to visit the Eastern Empire.
Of course, informing the Eastern Empire to participate in this Washington conference did not forget. It’s just that the ambassador to the Eastern Empire was notified.
This was undoubtedly a fierce humiliation for the Eastern Empire.
After Robert Lansing’s departure, Tsar Mikhail summoned Prime Minister Izvolsky, Foreign Minister Zicherin, Minister of the Admiralty, Marshal Alexander and Chief of the General Staff Marshal Brusilov to deliberate on the proposal of the Lighthouse State.
“Gentlemen, the Lighthouse Nation wants to mediate a naval arms race between nations, and wants us to give up continuing to build large-scale warships. So, what do you think about this?” asked Mikhail.
“Your Majesty, the Lighthouse Nation is constantly showing its face internationally. Or rather, they want to improve their international 01 position and influence! It seems that the lighthouse country wants to challenge the hegemony of the sun. Prime Minister Izvulsky hit the nail on the head.
“Yes, Your Majesty. Lighthouse Nation has always had these ambitions. Especially after their industrial strength has surpassed that of the sun never sets, such ambitions are even greater. This world war cost the sun and the whole of Europe a huge loss. From the Beacon Nation side, it seems that their opportunity has come. So, they started working on the whole plan.
Including the previous formation of the League of Nations. The current convening of the Washington Conference and the restriction of the Navy are all a series of tricks of the Beacon Country! ”
Foreign Minister Zicherin said.
Mikhail nodded, agreeing with this view.
“Your Majesty, if we support the Lighthouse Nation in convening the Washington Conference to restrict the navy. Will it damage the strength of the Imperial Navy?” was undoubtedly the most worried about this by the Minister of the Admiralty.
The Imperial Russian Navy finally gained great strength. Wouldn’t it be a big loss if it were to be limited because of this?
Of course, the Empire could support the convening of this Washington conference, and also impose restrictions on the Navy. But that presupposes that the interests of the empire cannot be compromised. If nothing else, the empire must have the same treatment as the same day. If this can be achieved, then the empire will naturally support it!” said Mikhail.
Marshal Alexander nodded repeatedly, if he could ensure that the Tsarist Imperial Navy had the same status as the Imperial Royal Navy. Well, the Russian Empire was naturally satisfied. At least, at this stage, the interests of the Russian Empire are sufficient to be guaranteed.
“By the way, how is the construction of our Peter I-class battleships?” asked Mikhail.
“Your Majesty, all four battleships have been launched and are in the process of outfitting. Marshal Alexander replied.
“Let the shipyard side further accelerate the construction progress.” It must be completed and commissioned before this Washington conference. In this way, these warships of the Imperial Navy have already been built and put into service, which is already a fait accompli. Then, the empire will not suffer any less!” said Mikhail.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Marshal Alexander immediately understood what Mikhail meant.
“Your Majesty, will other countries agree, such as the Sun Bu Setsu and the Oriental People? And the Oriental people are even more bent on treating the empire as an imaginary enemy, and want to defeat the empire before the shame. “The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Brusilov, was somewhat worried.
“This should be a headache for the lighthouse nation. They want to challenge the hegemony of the sun that never sets, and naturally it is time for them to find a way. In any case, as long as the interests of the empire are not damaged, it is enough. The Empire can’t manage so much else!” Mikhail looked indifferent.
“Yes, Your Majesty, I see!” replied Marshal Alexander, Minister of the Admiralty.
“After a while, when the lighthouse country is arranged, the foreign minister and the navy minister will go to the lighthouse country on behalf of the empire!” said Mikhail.
Immediately, Mikhail explained to Marshal Alexander the bottom line of the Russian Empire in this meeting and so on.
The Russian Empire did not resist the Washington Conference. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
Another continental power, the Galls, was even more supportive.
Although the Gallic states were the victors, they were definitely the ones that suffered the most losses in the war.
So much so that although they announced that they would complete the previous shipbuilding plan, they seemed a little powerless. Therefore, at this time, the lighthouse country proposed to convene a Washington conference to discuss the solution of the current naval arms race, and the Gallic state naturally fully supported it.
I also hope to be able to get off the donkey and take advantage of this opportunity to cancel the Navy’s shipbuilding plan.
Of course, this does not mean that the Gallic state does not intend to develop the navy. Instead, it was intended to wait until the economic and other conditions of the Gallic countries had improved before drawing up plans for the new 107.
In addition, given that the Gaul state defeated the Germans this time, or rather defeated the Germans with the support of its allies. Even if they slaughtered the Germans fiercely. However, you don’t have to think about it, the Germans will definitely not give up. Once the Germans recovered, they would inevitably attack the Gallic state. Therefore, the center of gravity of Gaul must also be shifted to land. In this way, their investment at sea is naturally much smaller.
The Gallic Grand Commander Raymondpuencaré, the Second Commander Alexander Millerand, the Foreign Minister George Legg, and the Secretary of the Navy Adolf Landry were ordered to go to the Beacon Country to attend this meeting.
Of course, the Grand Commander of Raymondpuencaré demanded that they must fight for the interests of the Gallic state as much as possible at the meeting.
The most important thing is to let the countries of the world understand that the Gallic state gave up its continued participation in the naval arms race solely for the sake of world peace, not because the Gallic state could not survive.
In other words, the Gauls are dying to face and suffer. It is clear that the national strength can no longer keep up, but they insist on supporting face and maintaining the face of their great power.
George Leger and Adolf Landry are naturally clear about this.
