Tsarist Empire, St. Petersburg, Winter Palace.
"Esteemed Tsar, according to the information sent back by the intelligence officers, the German army that landed in Jiaozhou Bay of the Luo Empire's Shandong Province has been captured by the mysterious fleet that attacked Japan.”A minister of the army knelt on the ground and said respectfully. "That mysterious fleet is currently expanding outward with Jiaozhou Bay as the center, intending to control the entire Shandong Province.”
"They are really bold to reach into the Di Empire so quickly.”Nicholas II said coldly. "Aren't they afraid that their appetite will be too big and they will be stuffed to death?”
"Respected Tsar, their ambitions are too great. I'm afraid they're not just limited to the Shandong Province. They're after the entire Luo Empire.”the minister said.
"They dare to plot against the entire Di Empire? You're simply courting death!" Nicholas II sneered. "They can't be so naive as to think that they are invincible just because they have a powerful fleet, can they?”
"The Di Empire belongs to our Russian Empire. No one can touch it! Otherwise, you will be making an enemy of our Russian Empire!”
"Your Majesty, what should we do?”the Minister of War asked.
"We can't wait any longer. We have to act immediately. Order the Far East Squadron to occupy Lushunkou and build a naval base there.”Nicholas II thought for a moment and said. "Then, mobilize 100,000 troops from Europe and rush to the Far East Military Region, ready to occupy the entire three eastern provinces at any time.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." the Minister of War replied.
"Right, I want to meet the ambassador of the Hun Empire and discuss cooperation with him.”Nicholas II said.
The Sun Never Sets Empire, London, Buckingham Palace.
"What…what is going on?!”The white-haired Queen Victoria gripped a piece of silk paper tightly with both hands and said with a pale face.
At this moment, she was trembling all over, and her eyes were filled with unprecedented panic and uneasiness. She was like a frightened little sheep, and there was no sign of her usual all-powerful and domineering queen posture.
"Your Majesty, this is the information sent back by our intelligence personnel in the Luo Empire's Dong Province. They are certain that the information given to us by Japan is true.”Prime Minister Disraeli fell to his knees and spoke in a trembling voice. "There is no doubt that all the information about the latest battleships being built by the Royal Navy has been leaked!”
"How…how did this happen? How did this happen?" Queen Victoria hissed.
Ever since she ascended the throne, everything had been smooth sailing. Under her wise leadership, the English Empire leaped from an ordinary European island country to the world overlord and entered the glorious era of the " Empire of the Sun Never Sets."
In the past few decades, she had encountered powerful challenges from the French Empire, the Russian Empire, and the United States of America, but she had always won. And the greatest magic weapon that she had been able to keep winning was her invincible naval fleet.
But now, all the information about the Royal Navy's all-out construction of the most powerful battleship in history had been leaked. How could she not feel fear?
The Sun Never Sets Empire had more than 20 million square kilometers of overseas colonies, and their greatest reliance on maintaining their rule was the invincible Royal Navy. She did not dare to imagine what kind of disaster it would cause once the Royal Navy lost its naval advantage.
"Great Queen, although I am unwilling to admit it, the 'Queen Elizabeth' class battleships that we are currently building will not allow our Royal Navy to have absolute naval superiority.”said Disraeli.
"Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!"
Queen Victoria's face was livid as she tore the silk paper in her hand into pieces.
"Complete the four 'Queen Elizabeth' class battleships that are currently under construction, and then immediately re-design and build new battleships.”Queen Victoria said through gritted teeth. "Our Royal Navy must be the strongest, always the strongest!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Disraeli.
"Immediately investigate the people who participated in the construction of the Queen Elizabeth class battleship. No matter who leaked the secrets, kill them without mercy.”said Queen Victoria. " Also, send another fleet to probe the mysterious fleet. I want to see how strong they are!”
America, Washington, White House.
"Mr. President, after the German Empire occupied Jiaozhou Bay in Shandong Province of the Luo Empire, they were attacked by a mysterious and powerful fleet. Now, the Luo Empire's Shandong Province, Jiaozhou Bay, had fallen into their hands.”An advisor in his forties reported.
"No one knows where they came from, but their naval power is comparable to the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire…They are indeed mysterious.”William said McGinley in a low voice.
"Mr. President, their battleships are very powerful, even stronger than the strongest battleships of the Royal Navy of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets. If we can get their battleships, it will definitely greatly enhance the naval power of the M Nation.”the aide said.
"What you said makes sense, but the question is, are they willing to sell us such a powerful battleship?”William Mackinley said in disbelief. "Alright, let's send a special envoy to try and contact them.”
"Yes, Mr. President." the aide replied.
The French Empire, the Italian Empire, the Austro-Hun Empire…
In the shortest time possible, almost all the major countries in the world learned about what happened in Jiaozhou Bay, Shandong Province of the Luo Empire. They were all extremely shocked, not understanding where such a powerful sea force had come from.
