Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

With the current shipbuilding strength of the Tsarist 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 empire on which the sun never sets and the Germanic empire. Therefore, Mikhail hopes that the shipyard can use various methods to obtain more advanced technologies from the Empire on which the sun never sets and the Germanic Empire.

After the meeting, Mikhail left the Minister of the Navy Alexander.

"Your Excellency, I have read the relevant technical information of several major shipyards in the empire. From the perspective of the whole world, although it is barely good. However, there is still a certain gap with the world's advanced level. The Ministry of the Navy will find a way next , Obtain more advanced technologies from the Empire on which the sun never sets and the Germanic Empire. Especially the technology of large-caliber naval guns and large steam engines." Mikhail looked serious.

"Yes, Your Majesty. However, these technologies are top-secret technologies of the Empire on which the sun never sets and the Germanic Empire, and it is difficult for us to obtain them." Alexander frowned.

Mikhail nodded: "I know. However, these technologies are very important to the empire. Therefore, no matter what method is used, these technologies must be obtained."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Alexander could only bite the bullet and answer.

"As for the armor technology, don't worry. I got someone to get Krupp armor related technology. This kind of armor will be used on the 'Rostov-class' light cruiser that the Black Sea Fleet is building." Mikhail Er continued.

Alexander was overjoyed immediately, he didn't care how Mikhail got the relevant technology of Krupp armor. But this means that the Tsarist Russian Empire already has the most advanced armor in the world.

In this era, Krupp armor is undoubtedly the most advanced armor in the world. Compared with other armors on the market, its defense is stronger. If the battleships of the Tsarist Russian Empire were equipped with this kind of armor, their defense would undoubtedly be stronger.

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

At present, the ironclad ships 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 Tsarist Russian Empire are equipped with new armor on a large scale, then the defense of the warships can be greatly improved.

In another time and space, the reason why the German Imperial Navy was able to beat the sun and never set in naval battles was largely due to the fact that the warships of the German Imperial Navy were rougher and thicker. On the other hand, the warships of the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets are thin-skinned. Comparing the two, it is natural to foresee what kind of result it will be.

"Your Excellency, this is a small warship I designed. I plan to build it in large quantities and equip it for the Imperial Navy!" Mikhail took out a design drawing of the warship.

In his previous life, Mikhail liked warships very much, especially the warships of various types before and after World War I and World War II, and he knew them very well.

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

General Alexander immediately walked up to the drawings.

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

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

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

"Very good. If the navy has no objections, then let's start building in batches. I will name this warship an A-class destroyer, and I plan to build 36 ships. By then, the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet will each be able to serve 18 ships." Mi Hayle said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" General Alexander nodded repeatedly.

In addition to the destroyer, Mikhail also took out a drawing of a heavy cruiser.

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

If you have to tell 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 by Mikhail as the "Mosk-class" heavy cruiser, has a full-load displacement of 11,000 tons, and is equipped with three triple-mounted 50-caliber 210mm main guns and eight 155mm secondary guns. Eight 75mm rapid-fire guns and six 40mm rapid-fire guns. The maximum speed is 25 knots, the thickness of the waterline armor is 180 mm, the thickness of the frontal armor of the turret and the armor of the conning tower is 210 mm.

For this heavy cruiser, Mikhail plans to build 12 ships, six ships each for the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet. Regardless of the number or combat power, they must firmly overwhelm the armored cruisers of the Orientals.
