When Arthur, far away in Australia, received the final report on the results of the naval battle between the Russian Empire and the Island Nation, it was already noon on the second day.
Not only Arthur and the main actors, the Russian Empire and the Island Nation, but also the British Empire, the German Empire, the United States, and France, the ally of the Russian Empire, were all highly concerned about this major sea battle that could determine the situation in the Far East.
Both the Russian Empire and the Island Nation currently have one thing in common: their logistics rely heavily on sea transport.
Although the area with the most disputes in the Far East is adjacent to the Russian Empire, the Far East is separated from the European Region of the Russian Empire by the vast Siberia, which is a cold and barren land.
Furthermore, since the Siberian Railway was not yet completed, it was impossible to rely on land transportation.
