Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Chapter 116 Battleship Begins Construction!!

After Mikhail’s marriage, he soon focused on state affairs.

It’s just that he no longer eats alone and sleeps alone.

By his side, he already has his wife’s company.

Political marriage, let alone any feelings.

He and Queen Elizabeth Mary naturally married first, and then cultivated feelings.

Fortunately, although he was not married in his previous life, he also had several girlfriends, and the tricks of chasing girls are naturally not unfamiliar.

In this era, it is even more effective.

This made the relationship between Mikhail and Queen Elizabeth Mary grow very quickly, and the married life was even happier.

At the end of November 1799, Mikhail, together with General Alexander of the Admiralty, Vice Admiral Rozhjested Winst, commander of the Northern Fleet, and Vice Admiral Makarov, commander of the Black Sea Fleet, went to the Rostov shipyard The Morsk-class heavy cruisers of the Russian Imperial Navy have been completed and put into service one after another.

This increased the strength of the two main fleets of the Russian Imperial Navy.

The Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet are now equipped with 6 Mosk 05-class heavy cruisers, 12 Rostov-class light cruisers, and 18 A-class destroyers.

The shelves of the two fleets have been erected and have a certain combat effectiveness.

Except for the absence of battleships, everything else is already fully prepared.

Of course, compared with the Royal Navy, the world’s most powerful empire where the sun never sets, the Russian Empire is far behind.

Fortunately, Mikhail did not delusionally think of catching up with the imperial navy in a short period of time, and his goal now is very clear, that is, to defeat the navy of the Easterners and cut off the rise of the Easterners.

Next, we will also focus on the oriental people.

As long as the Tsarist Imperial Navy was able to defeat the navy of the Orientals and suppress the Orientals, it would be enough.

As for the sun does not set people, it is better to wait until after the end of the world war, and then start to catch up with the sun does not set and when the time comes, it is when the navy has undergone earth-shaking changes. Because of the advancement of science and technology, the combat effectiveness of aircraft is getting stronger and stronger.

The combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft will replace battleships as the main force of naval warfare.

At that time, it will undoubtedly be much easier for the Russian Imperial Navy to catch up with the Royal Navy of the Empire.

After the completion of the Morsk-class heavy cruisers of the Russian Empire, it was time to prepare for the construction of the Mikhail I-class battleships.

All large slipways have also been cleared out.

Mikhail and others went to the shipyard in Rostov this time to participate in the cutting ceremony of the steel plate of the Mihai I class battle to see the lead ship Mikhail I.

From now on, the Russian Empire will start construction of six Mikhail I-class battleships.

This battleship will also become the next main battleship of the Tsarist Empire.

It will become the main force against the Eastern Imperial Navy next.

Of course, this is also an epoch-making battleship, the first battleship with a full heavy gun layout, unlike the current mainstream battleships in various countries, which use secondary main guns.

Mikhail hopes that this battleship can easily take out the navy of the Orientals in the next big war, so that the rise of the Orientals will become a flower in the mirror.

“Your Majesty, the three large slipways of the Rostov shipyard are ready. The relevant materials for construction have also been fully equipped. The construction of battleships of the Mikhail I class can begin! ”

Rear Admiral Nevishin, director of shipbuilding, reported.

General Alexander, Lieutenant General Rozhjesterwinst and Lieutenant General Makarov were also very excited.

Once the Mikhail I-class battleships were completed and put into service. Then, the strength of the Russian Imperial Navy will be even stronger.

Even if it is still not comparable to the Royal Navy of the Empire where the sun never sets.

However, the commissioning of six cutting-edge battleships was enough to raise the strength of the Russian Imperial Navy to another level.

You know, battleships in this era are not built by anyone, and only a few countries still have such capabilities.

It can be said that the spoon battle column of this era is simply as good as the nuclear deterrent force of another time and space in the future.

If a great country does not even have battleships, it cannot be considered a real power at all.

“Good, then let’s get started!”

Mikhail nodded.

Although he looked cloudy and breezy on the surface.

But in fact, his heart is also very moved.

You know, the Mikhail I-class battleship is equipped with three triple battleships with 50 times the caliber of 305 mm guns.

This is already Mikhail’s single-handedness that leapt into an era in the development of naval warships.

Directly let the Russian Imperial Navy step into the era of dreadnought.

He believed that once these Mikhail I-class battleships entered service and showed their strength in naval battles with the Eastern Empire.

Then, it will surely lead an era.

Of course, even so, there is still a big gap between the Tsarist Imperial Navy and the Royal Navy of the Empire.

The huge number of battleships of the Royal Navy of the Empire where the sun never sets is not something that other countries can deal with with 107 more.

In addition, the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire has the largest shipbuilding capacity in the world, the most powerful warship design and development capabilities, and other subsystems are also far ahead of other countries.

Once the sun never sets, the people realize that their battleships are outdated.

Well, they will soon be able to start the design and construction of new warships, and they will soon be able to catch up.

Coupled with the fact that the Sun Never Sets Empire has strong financial support, they don’t have to fear any other country at all.

You know, in another time and space, when the sun never sets and the Germans launched a naval arms race, they shouted the arrogant slogan that the Germans would build one battleship and the empire would build two ships if the sun never sets.

At least, the Russian Empire did not have the strength to fight with the sun never sets.

The Tsarist Empire could only rely on its first-mover advantage to obtain as many benefits as possible for the Tsarist Empire in the next war, and ensure the interests of the Tsarist Empire The main military expenditure of the Tsarist Empire must still be tilted towards the army.

Otherwise, how could the Russian Empire defeat the two powerful powers of Austria-Hungary and the Germanic Empire in a future world war, and how could it dominate the European continent?

As for the Navy, you can slow down first, it’s enough…
