Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

In Mikhail’s memory, in another time and space, when the Russian Empire went to war with the Eastern Empire, the main force of the Eastern Imperial Navy was six battleships and eight armored cruisers.

If the Russian Imperial Navy wanted to win future wars, it had to gain an advantage in this regard.

The strength of the ‘Morsk-class’ heavy cruisers is definitely stronger than that of the armored cruisers of the Orientals.

What’s more, there was a numerical advantage on the side of the Tsarist Empire.

Twelve ships fight eight, no matter how you can win. If this is not possible, then the admirals of the Tsarist Empire will inevitably be too wasted.

“Your Majesty, the ‘Mosk-class’ cruiser is definitely one of the most powerful cruisers in the world.” General Alexander was also full of praise for the ‘Morsk-class’ cruisers.

Mikhail nodded, A-class destroyers, plus ‘Rostov-class’ light cruisers, ‘Morsk-class’ heavy cruisers. Once all of these ships were in service, the Imperial Navy’s Northern Fleet and Black Sea Fleet would both be capable of 18 destroyers, 12 light cruisers and 6 heavy cruisers.

In this way, the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet will be able to barely build a shelf.

However, in the absence of battleships, the strength of the two fleets still has great room for improvement.

“Your Majesty, we also need to build battleships. If the Imperial Navy wants to catch up with the Imperial Royal Navy and even the Gallic Navy, it needs to build a number of battleships with advanced performance and strong combat effectiveness! General Alexander continued.

Originally, under Nicholas II, he established a huge program for the development of the Navy.

Nicholas II was ambitious to develop the Russian Imperial Navy into a powerful navy second only to the Royal Navy and the Gallic Navy of the Empire. Even, he wants to challenge the supremacy of the Royal Navy of the Empire.

Although the Russian Empire was a continental country, the army was the main force.

But this does not mean that the admirals of the Navy are not ambitious.

In fact, everyone also hopes that the strength of the navy can be further strengthened.

Mikhail nodded: “I have already thought about the capital ship that the Imperial Navy will build next. However, judging from the current technical conditions, there are still quite a few difficulties. Therefore, in the future, the major shipyards of the empire still have to find a way to upgrade their technology before building battleships! ”

General Alexander couldn’t help frowning, the shipbuilding strength of the Tsarist Russian Empire may have a certain gap with the Empire that never sets. However, it is also possible to build battleships. After all, there are now ten battleships in service with the Russian Imperial Navy.

However, in Mikhail’s eyes, these old former dreadnoughts will soon become obsolete.

Immediately, Mikhail took out another design drawing from the drawer of his desk.

“This is the drawing of the battleship I designed, which I named the ‘Mikhail I-class’ battleship!” Mikhail introduced.

General Alexander immediately began to carefully observe this design drawing.

The Mikhail I class battleship is a new battleship designed by Mikhail based on dreadnoughts in another time and space. This battleship has a displacement of 22,000 tons with a full load and a maximum speed of 22 knots. It is armed with three triple 50x caliber 305 mm main guns, 12 50 x caliber 150 mm secondary guns, 16 45 x caliber 75 mm rapid-fire guns, and 20 40 mm rapid-fire guns. The waterline, turret frontal and commander tower armor is 280 mm of new armor steel!

In Mikhail’s plan, six battleships of the Mikhail I class will be built: the battleship “Mikhail I”, the battleship “Alexei I”, the battleship “Fyodor III”, the battleship “Ivan V”, the battleship “Peter I” and the battleship “Princess Sophia”.

This is a dreadnought, and the performance in all aspects is not a little more advanced than the previous dreadnought.

If nothing else, those former dreadnoughts that face the Toyo in the future will definitely have an overwhelming advantage.

General Alexander was also very satisfied with the Mikhail I-class battleships.

“Your Majesty, is it more appropriate to adopt the all-heavy artillery mode than the second-level main gun currently used by mainstream battleships?” General Alexander asked.

“Of course! As the caliber of the battleship’s main gun continued to increase, the power became greater and longer, and the range became longer and longer. All-heavy artillery battleships, in terms of firepower and combat power, comprehensively surpass those current battleships. Moreover, the defense is stronger and the speed is faster. It’s just that with our current technology, it is still very difficult to build these warships. Therefore, in the next shipyard, we need to find a way to get more advanced technology from the Germanic Empire and the Empire of the Sun Never Sets. Otherwise, we would not have been able to build this battleship at all! Mikhail looked serious.

“Yes, Your Majesty, I will urge the shipyard to upgrade its technology!” General Alexander hurriedly answered.
