You are
Sir Reginald!You have been appointed as 40th Lord of the Admiralty of the Albion Empire! Currently, the Albion is a proud Empire which had undergone some internal struggles; namely, the old feudal system has been replaced with this 'constitutional monarchy' thing. While the Royal Family might be on top, the Parliament likes to be pesky sometimes.
But be it with those new armored cruisers, compound engines or submarines - the Albion shall rule the seas!
"That was some celebration." Says the old chap, Baron Pinkegaard, your personal secretary. A man of many talents and unquenchable thirst when it comes to whiskey, fortunately he drinks only after work. Having sobered up since yesterday's appointment dinner, he have prepared a pile of papers that awaits you at your polished ebony desk! The bronze statue of Vice Admiral Melsom, Hero of the Empire, staring at you from between the old bookshelves.
