Looking at the eager Chief of Staff of the Black Sea in front of him, Menshikov's lips curled into a smile. Although he himself was not well-versed in naval warfare (Menshikov was originally an army general and knew nothing about the navy), he believed that as long as the navy had the same determination to die for His Majesty the Tsar as the army, it would be invincible.
"Good, good, good!" Prince Menshikov patted Admiral Kornilov on the shoulder, said "good" several times, and then reassuringly promised, "I have witnessed your loyalty to His Majesty the Tsar. I can guarantee in my name, Alexander Menshikov, that as long as you and your fleet can defeat the Ottoman Empire Navy, I will personally report to the Tsar. At that time, His Majesty the Tsar will not hesitate to reward you, and he will personally award you with a Medal of Honor that is rightfully yours!"
