The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

After eight hours of fierce fighting, the batteries on the shore were almost completely wiped out by the British.

And after losing the protection of the battery, the half of the Black Sea Fleet huddled in the harbor also ushered in their end.

The battle ended in a resounding victory for the British!

In the Battle of Sevastopol and the previous Battle of the Black Sea, the British paid the price of 5 ships sunk, 12 ships wounded, 265 killed and 398 wounded, and achieved this brilliant victory.

On the Woolly Bear side, the Black Sea Fleet was completely wiped out, and they sank a total of 64 warships, including 12 battleships built by the Woolly Bears at great expense.

In addition, 7 warships were captured by the British, and 12,000 sailors were killed and missing.

In addition to this, the defenders of the Sevastopol fortress were destroyed with more than a hundred cannons and lost more than 3000 soldiers.

When the news of this battle spread throughout Europe, the people who had previously shouted that the sun would not set and that their world hegemony might not be guaranteed suddenly shut up!

Even if they are reluctant in their hearts, they have to admit that the strength of the Royal Navy is still the first in the world!

The hairy bear Black Sea Fleet, which is rampant on one side of the Black Sea, can't even beat a Mediterranean fleet that never sets!

If the sun never sets is their home fleet, I'm afraid that the woolly bears will be defeated even more miserably!

It was only at this time that they discovered that no matter how much the sun never sets the army, as long as their navy remains at its peak, then the supremacy of the sun will not be shaken!

......

Gaul, the city of the Towers.

Knowing that the sun never sets had won a great victory at the Black Sea, the Gauls were relieved.

This victory restored their confidence in the fact that the sun never sets, and if the navy that never sets the sun also fails, Gaul's confidence will be shattered on the spot.

However, they have fought with the Sunset Man for hundreds of years, and they still have a number of combat effectiveness for the Sunset Navy.

If it weren't for the strength of the navy on which the sun never sets, the combined fleet of Gallic and Spanish Banya was defeated at the Battle of Trafalgar.

It's hard to imagine that Napoleon really landed on the mainland with the French army, and wiped out the sunset.

During the Napoleonic period, Gaul surpassed Europe in terms of overall strength, and combined with the traditional maritime power of Spain, to form a fleet that surpassed the sun on paper, but it still could not defeat them.

Where is the current navy of the woolly bears, how can they be the opponents of the British army?

Therefore, seeing the steady performance of the Royal Navy and sending all the Black Sea Fleet built by the Tsar to the bottom of the sea, the Gauls were not surprised at all, and some were just mocking the woolly bears:

Just relying on the Black Sea Fleet, you think you can confront the Royal Navy, where the sun never sets?

Really young!

......

Southern Europe, the capital of Italy.

After learning the news of the total destruction of the Black Sea Fleet of Mao Xiong, the Italians were half frightened to death.

They quickly halted their plans for a second expedition to North Africa, but fortunately they did not send troops.

Otherwise, after cleaning up the woolly bears, the navy that the sun never sets is afraid that they will turn around and come back to clean them up!

Although they felt that their fleet was slightly stronger than the Black Sea Fleet of the woolly bears, they watched the sun not set and beat the woolly bears.

Even if it were their fleet, they would only be beaten violently.

After feeling the powerful threat of the Sunset Navy, the Itali people became a lot more honest, and even the idea that they had planned to fall to the Second Empire and form an alliance with them against the Sunset began to waver!

......

Eagle sauce, after learning the news that the Black Sea Fleet was completely annihilated and the sun never set was victorious.

The Eagle Sauce people were not intimidated, but strengthened their determination to develop the navy.

The sun never sets, but it is just an island country with an area of less than 300,000 square kilometers, and with their powerful naval strength, the whole of Europe can tremble.

So, with Eagle Sauce's family background, if they can develop a navy that is more powerful than the sun never sets, wouldn't it mean that they can make the whole world submit to their feet?

It takes a lot of money to build a strong navy, but it's nothing compared to the benefits!

Therefore, the Eagle Sauce people began to increase their efforts to build more, newer, and larger warships in an attempt to challenge the supremacy of the sea on which the sun never sets!

Second Empire, Bolin.

"Sure enough, this is the real strength of the sun never sets!" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)

"Yes, their navy is so strong, I don't know when we will have such a powerful navy!"

After the report of the battle on the Black Sea side came, the Second Reich was greatly shaken.

For them, whose naval strength is still very weak, the navy on which the sun never sets is almost invincible.

It was only at this point that they understood why His Majesty Andrews, after ascending the throne, would take the initiative to ease relations with the sun.

At that time, they still complained about the emperor's behavior, feeling that the emperor was too afraid of the sun not setting, and some lost the face of the Second Empire.

But now that I think about it, it's good that the emperor was far-sighted at that time, otherwise, now they are afraid that they would have ended up like the hairy bear people.

Just imagine, once they start a war with the sunset, the sunset navy is afraid that it will completely block their access to the sea and completely cut off their sea routes.

At that time, the Second Reich's overseas trade was feared to be immediately interrupted, and the domestic economy would be hit hard, with a large number of factories closing down and a large number of workers unemployed......

When I think of this terrible situation, many people's hearts are full of fear!

Unlike the worries and fears of the ministers, Andrews only sighed with emotion after receiving this battle report. []

Before the era of dreadnoughts, the people of the sun never set spent so much money to build all kinds of new ironclad ships, but they did not know that these ironclad ships would face the fate of being eliminated immediately after the birth of dreadnoughts.

It's not worth the money.

The main reason why Andrews did not make great efforts to develop the navy at this time and build a large fleet belonging to the Second Empire according to the navy's vision was because the ironclad ships of this era were not worth building on a large scale.

In the 19th century, the technological innovation of the world's navies was very fast, and since the birth of ironclad ships 30 years ago, all countries in the world have lacked a clear understanding and plan for the future development route of the navy.

This has also led to the fact that there are many types of ironclad ships built by various countries, but they are not very useful, but they also waste a lot of time and money.

It was not until the birth of the dreadnought that the sun never sets, the era of modern battleships opened, and the navies of various countries found a clear direction of development, which gradually got on the right track.

Prior to this, almost all ironclad ships were experimental test ships, which were expensive in themselves, but not very useful, and would soon face the end of (Zhao) elimination.

It's like the Zhenyuan ship and the Dingyuan ship purchased by the Qing court, which were completely outdated in less than ten years after they were bought.

The reason why Andrews didn't build ships at this time was because he didn't want to waste time and money building these things that would be obsolete sooner or later.

If he were to dump the Navy, he would definitely build the kind of battleship that he would do in the future.

That way, they won't lose to the experienced Sunrise at the start.

Even, with the advantages brought by the traverser, the battleships of the empire are even better than the battleships on which the sun never sets.

This is another reason why he is reluctant to build in advance, he is worried that the technology will leak, which will lead to the cheap sun not setting!

Let the sun never set and people slowly toss, slowly try and make mistakes.

After they wasted a lot of time and money, they finally came up with such a thing as a dreadnought.

Isn't it beautiful that the Second Empire directly mounted the battleships and battlecruisers of later generations, surpassed them in one fell swoop, and could still make the sun go down and make the sun half dead.
