Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

With the current shipbuilding strength of the Russian Empire, it is enough to build large warships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons.

However, in terms of specific details and some key technologies, there is still a certain gap between the same Sun Empire and the Germanic Empire. Therefore, Mikhail hoped that the shipyard side could use various methods to obtain more advanced technology from the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and the Empire of Germania.

After the meeting, Mikhail kept Admiral Alexander behind.

“Your Excellency, I have read the relevant technical information of several major shipyards in the empire. In the eyes of the world, although it is barely good. However, there is still a certain gap with the world’s advanced level. The Admiralty will next find a way to obtain more advanced technology from the Empire where the Sun Never Sets and the Germanic Empire. Especially technology in terms of large-caliber naval guns and large steam engines. Mikhail’s expression was serious.

“Yes, Your Majesty. However, these technologies are the top-secret technologies of the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Germanic Empire, and it is difficult for us to get our hands on them. Alexander frowned.

Mikhail nodded: “I know.” However, these technologies were very important to the empire. Therefore, no matter what method you use, you must get these technologies. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Alexander could only answer stiffly.

“As for the armor technology, don’t worry. I got people the technology of Krupp armor. This armor will be used on the Rostov-class light cruisers under construction at the Black Sea Fleet. Mikhail continued.

Alexander was immediately pleased, he didn’t care how Mikhail got the Krupp armor-related technology. But this meant that the Russian Empire already had the most advanced armor in the world.

In this era, Krupp armor is undoubtedly the most advanced armor in the world, and its defense is stronger than other armors on the market. The warships of the Tsarist Empire were equipped with this armor, so the defense would undoubtedly be stronger.

You know, 6 inches or 152 mm Krupp armor steel, equivalent to 190 mm Harvey armor steel, equivalent to 240 mm nickel alloy armor steel, equivalent to 318 mm steel-wrought iron hybrid armor, equivalent to 406 mm wrought iron armor.

At present, the ironclads and battleships of the navies of various countries are equipped with wrought iron armor at sea, or mixed armor.

Once the cutting-edge warships of the Russian Empire are equipped with new armor on a large scale, then the defense power of the battleships can be greatly improved.

In another time and space, the reason why the Germanic Imperial Navy was able to beat the Royal Navy of the Imperial Navy in a naval battle was that the battleships of the Germanic Imperial Navy were more thick-skinned and thick-skinned. The battleships of the Royal Navy of the Empire, where the sun never sets, have thin skin and large filling. In contrast, it is natural to foresee what kind of result it is.

“Your Excellency, this is a small warship I designed. I am ready to build in large quantities and equip the Imperial Navy! Mikhail took out a drawing of the battleship design.

In his previous life, Mikhail was very fond of warships, especially the various types of warships before and after World War I and World War II, which can be described as very well.

The design drawing he took out this time was the design of a destroyer.

General Alexander immediately walked to the drawings.

The destroyer, with a displacement of 1,200 tons, is armed with three triple 50-caliber 105 mm guns, four 75 mm rapid-fire guns, four 40 mm rapid-fire guns, two triple 533 mm heavy torpedo tubes and a maximum speed of 28 knots.

“Your Majesty, this is a very advanced small warship!” After studying it, General Alexander came to such a conclusion.

Nonsense, can the battleship designed by His Majesty the Tsar not be advanced?

“Very well, if there is no objection from the naval side, then start mass construction.” This battleship, which I named the A-class destroyer, is planned to build 36 units. By that time, the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet could each serve 18 units. Mikhail said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” General Alexander nodded repeatedly.

In addition to the destroyer, Mikhail came up with drawings of a heavy cruiser.

Mikhail was more accustomed to calling it a heavy cruiser than the mainstream armored cruiser of this era. In fact, there is no essential difference between the two.

If you insist on the difference, perhaps in Mikhail’s eyes, the heavy cruiser is an upgraded version of the light cruiser, with more powerful firepower and defense. At the same time, the speed is also very fast.

This heavy cruiser, named “Moske-class” heavy cruiser by Mikhail, has a full load displacement of 11,000 tons, and is equipped with three triple 50-caliber 210 mm main guns, 8 155 mm secondary guns, 8 75 mm rapid-fire guns, and 6 40 mm rapid-fire guns. The maximum speed is 25 knots, the thickness of the waterline armor is 180 mm, the thickness of the turret frontal armor and the commander’s tower armor is 210 mm.

Of this heavy cruiser, Mikhail plans to build 12 ships, the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet six each. Whether it is the number or combat strength, it must steadily overwhelm the armored cruisers of the Orientals.
