If it is a general situation, Kornilov’s words are still very reasonable, after all, battleships have a greater role in the fleet, and it is more meaningful to increase the combat effectiveness of a battleship than to increase five or six frigates.

But the situation of the Black Sea Fleet is very special. As a semi-enclosed inland sea, the Black Sea is a bathtub. As long as the Bosphorus Strait is blocked, it really means catching turtles in the urn, and there is no place to hide.

And the strength of the Black Sea Fleet belongs to the kind of situation where it is more than enough. It is definitely not better than Britain and France, but it is more than enough to bully Turkey. If the enemy of Russia was only Turkey in the past, then the problem is naturally not big, just go up and rub the chicken on the ground.

But the problem is that Russia’s enemy this time is Britain and France. Let alone the two combined fleets, it is impossible to face Russia alone.

Therefore, battleships such as battleships have only so much significance for the future battles of the Black Sea Fleet. Whether to increase its strength or not, it is still not enough for the British and French joint fleet to bully a Turkish navy and the current Black Sea. It is enough for the fleet.

In other words, to modernize the battleships of the Black Sea Fleet, unless all battleships are refitted, only one or two of them is of little significance, because the cost-effectiveness ratio is really not high, and no immediate effect can be achieved.

As for the transformation of all capital ships for the Black Sea Fleet, hehe, it is really impossible. Without that much money, and there is no support from above, it is impossible to get it.

It’s just that this kind of perspective that a traverser had was not understood by everyone back then. After all, Russians generally don’t think that Britain and France would turn their faces with them for a local chicken. Naturally, they don’t have to worry about taking Britain and France. Unite the fleet.

In fact, the wording of the Anglo-French joint fleet is shocking enough. After all, these two families are feuds, and the big enemies of blood and blood are embarrassed and embarrassed. Do you think this is possible?

Nasimov asked immediately: “Do you think Britain and France will really declare war with us over the Balkan issue?”

For Li Xiao, this is unquestionable, but after all, he can’t say that he came through. He has already seen it in history books, and that would be regarded as crazy. So he can only explain like this:

“For the moment, our country’s strategy on the Balkan issue has caused high dissatisfaction among the great powers. Even within the Holy Alliance, we have met with opposition from Austria. Once Turkey chooses not to surrender, the war is likely to break out! “

Speaking of this, Li Xiao paused for a while, and then said: “As soldiers, we not only need to be brave when facing war, but we also need to make sufficient preparations, and we must be prepared to deal with the most extreme situations. Now, the general asks you. Tell me, once Britain and France form a joint fleet, what will happen to the Black Sea Fleet?”

Nasimov stopped saying anything. As a navy general, he naturally knew how far the Russian navy’s strength was from that of Britain and France. As Russia has increased its naval construction over the past few decades, the number of new battleships built every year is very impressive, but Compared with Britain and France, especially Britain and France, a maritime hegemon with a deep naval background, he was still a younger brother.

Not to mention the Anglo-French combined fleet, the Royal Navy alone is enough to attack the Russian Navy. Once the Black Sea Fleet is finished, the Russian Black Sea coast will become the target of random attacks by Britain and France. At that time, they will attack wherever they want to attack. Such a vast area of ​​land cannot be defended by the army alone!

Nasimov conceived that scene for a moment, and frowned. He knew very well that at that time, Russia’s fulcrum in the Black Sea region might only be the fortress of Sevastopol, which would definitely become the target of British and French attacks. . And once Sevastopol is over, the entire Crimean Peninsula is also over.

If you lose control of the Crimea peninsula, it means that Russia’s nearly a hundred years of hard work will be useless. After all, grabbing Crimea is a matter of the time of Emperor Catherine the Great, Russia. It has been operating here for more than 50 years, and to be honest, the foundation is relatively shallow.

Of course, Nasimov didn’t like this kind of tragic situation. But he couldn’t think of any means to reverse the situation. The Russian geopolitical environment is too unfriendly to the navy. All sea areas are Fragmented and separated thousands of miles. Except for the Black Sea Fleet, the Baltic Fleet is stronger. But the Baltic Sea is also a semi-enclosed sea area, as long as the Royal Navy is willing to block it at will.

In fact, the two major fleets of the Russian Navy are not synergistic at all, and they can only fight alone in several strategic directions. However, there are sufficiently powerful enemies in these strategic directions, and there is no overwhelming advantage in fighting alone.

To put it bluntly, the development of a navy in Russia’s geographic environment is simply uneconomical. Unless it is the money to burn, every fleet will not be strong enough.

“If Britain and France choose to interfere or even war, how can the Black Sea Fleet respond?”

Faced with Li Xiao’s question, both Nasimov and Kornilov fell into deep thought. Although the answer was obvious, it really hurt their self-esteem to say that they couldn’t be beaten for sure, and they didn’t even run. Place to run.

In the face of the silent two marine officers, Li Xiao spread his hands and said: “Gentlemen, UU reading www.uukanshu.com obviously you are also aware that once this worst situation occurs, the Black Sea Fleet is likely to be Will be destroyed!”

After a short pause, he smiled bitterly: “Not even just annihilation, the Black Sea Fleet is likely to be completely wiped out, and it will not provide any support for land battles.”

Li Xiao’s meaning is very clear, that is, the Black Sea Fleet is meaningless, just a gorgeous display. This makes Nasimov and Kornilov both embarrassing and hurting their self-esteem. Every true soldier does not want his day-to-day efforts to be treated as air. And they obviously encountered this kind of painful situation, and what was even more painful was that they hadn’t been able to refute Li Xiao’s words.

Nasimov suddenly asked, “So you have not advocated building large ships by the Black Sea Fleet all these years, is that the reason?”

Li Xiao shook his head and said: “No, if the Black Sea Fleet can have the opportunity to be strong enough to resist the Royal Navy, if this goal can be achieved by just investing money, I will naturally not stop it and will strongly support it, but obviously this is impossible. of!”

After taking a look at Nasimov and Kornilov, Li Xiao continued to explain: “Moreover, the reason why I oppose the Black Sea Fleet being attacked in recent years lies in several other more critical reasons…”
