Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Chapter 49 The Real Battleship (Second Update, Please Collect It!)

In Mikhail's memory, in another time and space, when the Russian Empire was at war with the Eastern Empire, the main force of the Eastern Empire's navy was six battleships and eight armored cruisers.

If the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy wants to win future wars, it must gain an advantage in this regard.

The strength of the "Mosk-class" heavy cruiser is definitely stronger than that of the Japanese armored cruiser.

What's more, the Tsarist Russian Empire still has a numerical advantage.

Twelve ships fight eight ships, no matter how they can win. If you can't beat it like this, then the navy officers and soldiers of the Tsarist Russian Empire would be too useless.

"Your Majesty, the 'Mosk-class' cruiser is definitely one of the most powerful cruisers in the world." General Alexander was full of praise for the 'Mosk-class' cruiser.

Mikhail nodded, A-class destroyer, plus the 'Rostov-class' light cruiser, and the 'Mosk-class' heavy cruiser. Once all these warships are completed and put into service, the Imperial Navy's Northern Fleet and Black Sea Fleet can both have 18 destroyers, 12 light cruisers and 6 heavy cruisers.

In this case, both the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet can barely build a shelf.

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

"Your Majesty, we also need to build battleships. If the Imperial Navy wants to catch up with the Royal Navy on which the sun never sets and even the Gallic Navy, it needs to build a group of battleships with advanced performance and powerful combat effectiveness!" General Alexander continued.

Originally, during the time of Nicholas II, he established a huge naval development program.

Nicholas II was ambitious and wanted to develop the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy into a powerful navy second only to the Royal Navy and the Gallic Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Even, want to challenge the supremacy of the Imperial Navy on which the sun never sets.

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

But this does not mean that the generals of the navy have no ambitions.

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

Mikhail nodded: "I have already considered the capital ship that the Imperial Navy will build next. However, judging from the current technical conditions, there are still many difficulties. Therefore, the next The major shipyards of the empire still have to find ways to upgrade their technology before building battleships!"

General Alexander couldn't help frowning. The shipbuilding strength of the Tsarist Russian Empire may be far behind that of the Empire on which the sun never sets. However, it is also possible to build battleships. After all, there are now ten battleships in service in the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy.

However, in Mikhail's eyes, these old pre-dreadnought ships will soon become obsolete after all.

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

"This is the battleship blueprint I designed, and I named it the 'Mikhail I-class' battleship!" Mikhail introduced.

General Alexander immediately began to carefully observe the design drawings.

The 'Mikhail I-class' battleship is a new type of battleship designed by Mikhail based on the dreadnought ship from another time and space. This battleship has a full-load displacement of 22,000 tons and a maximum speed of 22 knots. Equipped with three triple-mounted 50-caliber 305mm main guns, 12 50-caliber 150mm secondary guns, 16 45-caliber 75mm rapid-fire guns, and 20 40mm rapid-fire guns. Waterline, turret front and conning tower armor is 280 mm new armor steel!

In Mikhail's plan, the "Mikhail I class" battleship will build six ships, namely the "Mikhail I" battleship, the "Alexey I" battleship, and the "Feo" battleship. Battleships Dore III, Battleships 'Ivan V', Battleships 'Peter I' and Battleships 'Princess Sofia'.

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

Among other things, the former dreadnoughts facing the Orientals will definitely have an overwhelming advantage in the future.

General Alexander is also very satisfied with the "Mikhail I-class" battleship.

"Your Majesty, is it more appropriate to adopt the full-heavy artillery mode than the second-tier main guns used by mainstream battleships?" General Alexander asked.

"Of course! As the caliber of the main guns of the battleships continues to increase, their power is getting bigger and bigger, and their range is getting farther and farther. The full-heavy gun battleships have surpassed the current battleships in terms of firepower and combat power. Moreover, the defense The power is stronger and the speed is faster. However, with our current technology, it is still very difficult to build these warships. Therefore, the next shipyard needs to find ways to learn from the Germanic Empire and the Empire on which the sun never sets. We need to get more advanced technology. Otherwise, we will not be able to build this battleship at all!" Mikhail looked serious.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will urge the shipyard to upgrade its technology!" General Alexander quickly replied.
