Tsarist Palace.
News of Ushakov's defeat had reached the ears of Peter the Great.
Ushakov was seriously injured and the Pacific Fleet was almost wiped out...
An almost humiliating defeat.
Now, it is not just a question of defeat. Now, the Li Dynasty fleet has been blocked in the port of Petropavlovsk, and all nearby Tsarist Russian ships have been captured or sunk by the Li Dynasty army. This means that , they have no available sea power in the Far East.
What's even more terrible is that at this time, the Li Dynasty Navy Admiral actually sent someone to ask for war compensation from them!
That's too much!
Suddenly, domestic public opinion was in an uproar.
Even many of their citizens did not know what the Li Dynasty was. It was really hard for the Tsarist Russians to accept that they had been so brutally harmed by this small country.
at this time.
The parliament of Tsarist Russia has exploded.
The anger of Peter the Great can naturally be imagined.
They are powerful Tsarist Russia!
and……
He invested heavily in Tsarist Russia's navy! It can be said that Peter has had a paranoid pursuit of the navy throughout his life.
He has always believed that the navy is the top priority in the future world structure!
certainly.
With the passage of history, people came to know that Peter’s idea was absolutely correct.
Of course, Peter couldn't confirm his thoughts...
Because at this time, he was almost mad to death!
Ushakov!
The so-called patron saint of the Orthodox Church!
That's it?
What he regrets is not only Ushakov, but also the powerful navy he spent a lot of money to build!
"Your Majesty, this is a national shame. I think the Baltic Fleet should be mobilized to go to the Sea of Okhotsk to eliminate these arrogant people!"
Congressmen, I can't take it anymore.
What exactly happened here!
They, who had repeatedly pushed the powerful Ottoman Empire to the ground, were actually threatened by a small, weak Li Chao!
Too much!
"Your Majesty, send troops!"
The ministers who participated in the political affairs were arguing with each other, which made Peter's ears hurt.
This time, Tsarist Russia was indeed slapped hard in the mouth by Li Chao.
Not Long Yan, but Li Chao!
This is the most embarrassing thing!
But, so what if it’s embarrassing? Really send the Baltic Fleet to the ocean to attack Lee's Korean fleet?
Although the Baltic Fleet is very strong and is sure to defeat the Li Chao fleet, Long Yan will not sit idly by. If Long Yan and Li Chao join forces, it is really hard to say whether they can win.
Furthermore, although the Far East was the strategic focus of Tsarist Russia, their roots lay in Europe.
The Baltic Fleet is an important component of the defense of their European part.
They had just won the Northern War, and the defeated Sweden and the Ottomans had always held a grudge against them. Once the strength of the Baltic Fleet weakened, no one could tell whether Sweden would gather those European countries to take advantage of the situation.
There is absolutely no room for loss in the Baltic Sea, so the fleet cannot move.
This time, they could only break their teeth and swallow it.
However, although they suffered a loss, they did not suffer the consequences. Tsarist Russia also had an attitude.
Of course, Li Shunyi would not attack a barren land like Siberia. If there was no money, there would be no money. If the tactical goal was achieved, he would return to the court.
Tsarist Russia lost face once in the Far East. As a big country, they must find their place elsewhere.
This place is the Western Region.
Although Ushakov lost the battle, Rumyantsev's record in the Western Region was still acceptable.
As long as Yanqi can be captured in one go, the Western Region will be within easy reach for Tsarist Russia!
Congressmen, naturally they have all kinds of ideas.
fine……
In Tsarist Russia, Peter the Great still has the final say!
"Trash! They are all a bunch of trash!"
Although Peter is old, he has not lost his mind.
Use the Baltic Navy to go around in a big circle to conquer the Far East?
are you crazy!
national humiliation?
Yes, this is a national shame!
But if he did this, it would not be a national shame!
But the tragedy of the country!
"Shut up, everyone!"
Peter didn't bother to listen to the noise of these people here.
Ushakov was defeated...
Wouldn't it be even worse to go up there with this bunch of trash?
He looked around coldly, and then the whole place fell silent.
No one dared to speak.
They knew Peter's temper.
He is a decisive person.
"Far East……"
"Give up for now!"
Although Peter the Great had no choice but to issue such an order.
Soon, the Tsar's order came to Rumyantsev, and along with it came the previous rewards.
Rumyantsev is not afraid of war, but to fight, you must have enough supplies.
Seeing the pitiful supplies, he knew that Menshikov must have swallowed most of them.
He wanted to report this matter, but he knew that the path to transmit the news must be controlled by Menshikov. Even if he wrote a letter, it would be in vain. It would not be too late to settle accounts with him after the victory.
Peter ordered that within a month, the war in the Western Regions must make major progress, which gave Rumyantsev a headache.
He always has a bad feeling in his heart...
Because Ushakov received such an order before his defeat.
a month...
The Far East cannot be won in a month.
Can we win the Western Region?
Eagerness for quick success will be the beginning of defeat.
Of course, Rumyantsev still planned to carry out Peter's orders.
Because he also knew that they had actually invaded Long Yan's territory. The longer they stayed on other people's territory, the easier it would be for something to happen.
The northwest war situation cannot be delayed.
The next target of Tsarist Russia's attack was Yanqi. However, the Longyan people were unable to defend themselves and the country was clear. They didn't even have a chance. They couldn't attack Yanqi by force with an army of 200,000, right?
Even if they can capture it, they will have to pay a huge price. At that time, they will not be able to attack the next city, and it will even be difficult to even defend Yanqi...
This doesn't make any sense.
He had to think of a way.
Now, the whole of Asia is filled with the smell of gunpowder.
War has broken out in many regions in Asia, but the one with the greatest impact is the Suez conflict in West Asia.
This is the place where three continents meet. Controlling this place is equivalent to controlling half of the world's wealth.
Britain would not let go, and neither would Long Yan.
The two sides have been facing off here for nearly a week.
Britain originally thought that Long Yan would launch a sneak attack, but after being tense for such a long time, there was no movement from Long Yan's army.
Now, both Hans and Loggins felt that they were too worried.
They are becoming more and more relaxed about war, and this is Long Yan's opportunity.
The Dark Night Army, which has been preparing for a week, is about to take action.
The Dark Night Legion troops were divided into two groups. One group dived underwater from the front and directly raided their food and grass base;
The other route was to land on the coast of Egypt and wait for an opportunity to attack the ammunition depot of the British army.
As long as the Dark Night Army completes its mission, Liu Zheng can order Nashadir to command his troops and go head-to-head with the British army.
At this moment, fatigue is spreading among the British army.
A week of continuous tension has made them mentally confused.
They need rest.
"Hey, hey, don't sleep. You're so sleepy. If the Dragon Flamers come, you won't even know how you'll die."
"Longyan people? Huh, the Longyan people are sleeping on the other side of the river. We are the only ones keeping a close eye on them."
The two British sentries were talking, unaware that a group of people were already approaching them not far away.
The British Army's defense was weak, but the Navy was different. Although a whole week had passed, they did not dare to underestimate the power of Dragon Flame and maintained the highest degree of vigilance at all times.
Their sentries were dense and well-arranged, blocking the Dark Night Legion's must-pass route to the ammunition depot. Jiang Xuan had no chance of sneaking in.
The southern front should be going smoothly. If he, the leader of the Dark Night Army, can't produce any results, he will really have no shame in going back to see Liu Zheng.
After finally coming here, he wanted to give Liu Zheng a big gift.
He took a liking to Loggins.
Loggins has placed so many sentries on the periphery. Presumably, his focus is on the sentries. If he were to surprise him at this time and destroy his lair, then the British Navy would not have a general.
Jiang Xuan did not hesitate, immediately changed his order and headed straight for Alexandria, the port city in northern Egypt.
Things were indeed as Jiang Xuan expected. Although there were many sentries on the outside, the city defense was really poor. If someone came by surprise and captured a city gate, there should be no problem.
Then, Jiang Xuan made a calculation.
There is a big difference in appearance between them and the locals here. It is definitely impossible to disguise themselves and sneak in. In this case, the only way is to take advantage of the night and climb over the wall.
The soldiers of the Dark Night Legion have all undergone special training, and the ten-meter-high city wall is not too difficult for them.
