Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Oh, suddenly Ferdinand found that the Russian Second Pacific Fleet seemed to be a little too powerful. If the First Pacific Fleet in the Far East was reunited, if the Japanese Navy did not open up this time, it would be cold!

However, he is not worried. Judging from Edward's reaction, the British must be prepared to have a backhand.

Otherwise, when Japan is really defeated, the 100 million pounds of debt will still need the London government to make up its mind?

Facts have proved that Ferdinand's guess is not wrong, John Bull's integrity is really not very good!

In order for the Japanese navy to hit the Russian Second Pacific Fleet hard, they sold 5 battleships, 6 cruisers, and 8 destroyers to the Chilean government, with a total tonnage of up to 180,000 tons.

The Chilean government then sold it to the Japanese government, with home delivery.

On the third day that the Japanese government got the bond funds, it was directly sold to the Japanese government at an astonishing price of 18 million pounds.

Well, that money can make double the number of new warships, but now the Japanese government has to buy it! Otherwise, what are they going to do with the Russians' Second Pacific Fleet?

Moreover, most of these warships are old warships that are about to retire. Of course, they are still barely able to deal with the Russian warships. Coupled with the original wealth of the Japanese Combined Fleet, it once again has the upper hand!

Well, if it wasn't for the Russian-Russian alliance, Ferdinand himself would have wanted to fiddle with a few warships and sell them to the Japanese, and make a fortune!

The profits of the arms trade are really too great. Compared with the great British people, Ferdinand's fiddling can only be regarded as a petty mess.

How can the army equipment be compared with the navy? The profit of a single naval ship in the navy is almost the same as the equipment of several divisions he sells. Moreover, he is facing the Russians, so he can't take advantage of the fire!

The biggest benefit of the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War may be to help Bulgaria go to stock, and the previous stock is now sold out.

Whether it's weapons and ammunition, or food and cloth, as long as you put money into the officials of Maoxiong, it becomes a new product purchased from the world, and in short, it can be sold for a good price!

Time flies, the Russians' Second Pacific Fleet arrived in the Far East, briefly refurbished in the French turf in Vietnam, resupplied, and moved on.

But this time the Russian fleet commander was replaced. It turned out that the unfortunate one escaped this time, and it was Admiral Stepan Osipovich Makarov who topped the tank for him.

The military quality of Admiral Stepan Osipovich Makarov is still good. He also commanded the Black Sea Fleet to defeat the Ottoman Navy several times before.

In addition to the Russian navy, there were also military observation groups from various European countries. Ferdinand even sent the Constantinople.

Of course, his purpose was not to fight, but to hang the brand of the Military Observer Corps. In addition to the experience of watching the naval battle, the main purpose was to test the seaworthiness of the warship.

It's an armored cruiser after all, you can't beat a battleship, but you have to outrun a battleship!

History has changed again. Since the Russians came out of the Black Sea Fleet this time and took the Suez Canal, the legendary Tsushima naval battle naturally ceased to exist.

As the British and Japanese teamed up to block the news, the Russians did not know at this time that the strength of the Japanese combined fleet had been greatly enhanced.

Admiral Stepan Osipovich Makarov was leading the fleet forward until it reached the Taiwan Strait, and encountered the Japanese combined fleet waiting to work. There is no saying, the enemy will fight when they meet!

The process is no longer important. Anyway, the final result is that the combined fleet led by Togo Heihachiro won this round of pk.

Of course, the Japanese combined fleet is also uncomfortable. After all, the Black Sea Fleet is much stronger than the Baltic Fleet in history, and it has experience in naval battles!

The Russians' Second Pacific Fleet was almost wiped out, and Russia fell from its position as a naval power overnight. Including auxiliary ships, Russian ships lost more than 200,000 tons.

5 battleships including the flagship were sunk, 2 were captured, and only 1 escaped to Vietnam; among other warships, 6 cruisers, 5 destroyers and 4 torpedo boats were sunk, and 5 were sunk by third countries Detained, and the rest became the spoils of the Japanese!

Including the fleet commander, 6,836 Russian naval officers and men were killed in action, 3,917 were captured, and 2,462 were detained in neutral countries.

The combined fleet that achieved this victory was also unhappy. A total of 7 battleships, 5 cruisers, 6 destroyers and 6 torpedo boats sank, and most of the remaining warships were also injured, and 5,869 officers and soldiers were killed.

After seeing the result of the naval battle, Ferdinand was half killed. Is this still the Japanese-Russian naval battle in history?

Judging from the casualties on both sides, the Japanese combined fleet was only a tragic victory. Compared with their impressive record in history, it is really far behind!

However, it is reasonable to achieve such a victory. The Russian Baltic Fleet lacks combat experience, has loose training, plus a rice bucket-style commander, and it is a labor expedition.

In contrast, the Black Sea Fleet is much better, since it has been expanded in recent years, they have more new warships.

Moreover, there was a war with the Ottomans a few years ago, and the British are the strategic targets all the year round, so training is of course indispensable!

Besides, it’s better to go through the Suez Canal than to go around a big circle. Whether it’s distance or logistical supplies, it’s much better to go from the Mediterranean Sea than the Baltic Sea!

In addition, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Stepan Osipovich Makarov, has a much stronger command ability, but he was unlucky and died in the war, otherwise the Russian fleet would not be so miserable !

Moreover, the Japanese combined fleet was also pitted by the old ships thrown by the British. After all, they are all warships that are about to be retired, and their old problems are naturally indispensable.

All performances are relatively pitted, especially in defense, the defense of old battleships is not much higher than that of armored cruisers! It only sank after a few shots to get off the ship, which can be regarded as contributing a lot to the Russians!

Oh, Ferdinand is just watching the fun now, when the melon eaters give pointers at will.

Nicholas II, who was far away in St. Petersburg, was about to go crazy. Since the performance of the Russian navy was still very good, the internal problems of the navy were covered up in the past.

Therefore, Nicholas II naturally set the target of hatred on the British. After all, this time it was the British who did the trick. Otherwise, he might be celebrating his victory by now!

Gas returns gas, the tsarist government still can't help the British, especially after the Taiwan naval battle, the Russian naval power has shrunk greatly!

The victory of the Japanese Navy, not only the Japanese are celebrating, but Ferdinand is also celebrating, the harvest season is here!

After the defeat of the Russian Navy, many people believed that the war was coming to an end. Of course, the price of Japanese bonds began to skyrocket. After all, it was a 27% annual interest!

Such good news, of course Ferdinand will ship. Otherwise, when the market reacts, it is found that the Russians are going to continue the war, and it is guaranteed that they will fall back!

Oh, not only Ferdinand is shipping, there are also many people who participated in the operation. After all, there is a backlog of so much money on it, and it is time to recover some of it.

Since Ferdinand basically takes ten years, even if he only receives the interest, the income is 2.7 times for ten years!

The advance sale is naturally not so high now, but the price has more than doubled from the previous 20% discount. Ferdinand ate 10 million pounds of goods in the previous operation, and now it has doubled between hands.

In the financial market, there is such a huge profit. Of course, this is the activity of advanced players, and ordinary people can only be spectators!
