Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 256

The navy was very important to the Eastern Empire. This is also very clear to the Prime Minister of the Eastern Empire, Saienji Kōno.

Therefore, instead of restricting the army, suppress the development of the army. Saienji Kōbo was supportive of the development of the Toyo Navy. He is also very aware that the construction of the navy is a long-term process. If you want to build a powerful fleet, you need to spend a lot of money. Other than that, there are no shortcuts at all.

Therefore, Saienji Kōbo expressed strong support for the reconstruction plan of the Imperial Navy of the East.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, we currently have two battleships, the Katori-class battleships, which are being built in the Sun Never Set Empire. It is expected that it will be completed and put into service the following year. At the same time, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets is already planning to sell us large-caliber naval guns, large boilers and steam engines. Therefore, our plans for self-built battleships can also begin. our

The design of the Satsuma-class battleships has been completed. It is expected that construction will start next year in 01. By the time both classes of battleships are commissioned, we will have four battleships. This will allow our navy to recover a certain strength. It will not be like now, there is no sea defense! ”

Lieutenant General Minoru Saito reported.

Saienji Gongwang nodded: “However, as far as I know, whether it is a Katori-class battleship or a Satsuma-class battleship, it is an ordinary battleship. In terms of performance, there was a huge gap with the Russians’ full-heavy artillery battleships. In the Battle of the South China Sea, our battleships were no match for the Russians’ full-artillery battleships. ”

“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. In the Battle of the South China Sea, the performance of the Russians’ full-heavy artillery battleships was indeed very amazing. And the all-heavy artillery battleship is also the focus of our next development. However, whether it is experience or technology, we still have big shortcomings. It is undoubtedly very difficult to build our own full-artillery battleships. Next, we will find a way to obtain relevant technology from the Sun Never Sets Empire and other countries so that we can have the ability to build fully heavy artillery battleships. However, this will take quite a bit of time. If conditions permit, we can even order another full-gun battleship from the Sun Never Sets Empire! Lieutenant General Saito continued.

Xiyuanji Gongwang agreed with this: “The development of the navy is not overnight, and it is more important to accumulate experience and technology first.” If our financial resources are not so tight at that time, we can order a full-heavy artillery battleship from the Sun Never Sets Empire. But, I hope, we will learn enough from this. In the future, our warships will be built on their own as much as possible. After all, ordering warships is very expensive, much more expensive than if we built them ourselves. If you build it yourself, it will also be relatively cheap. ”

“Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” Lieutenant General Minoru Saito replied.

He is also very aware of this, if he orders warships from the Sun Never Set Empire, the Sun Never Set people will definitely make a lot of money from it.

It’s just that if you can’t build it yourself, you can only order it from the sun never sets. Once you can build it yourself, you can naturally not let the sun never set to earn this money.

In this way, they can build more warships with limited funds. It is also possible to further strengthen the strength of the Oriental Imperial Navy.

“In addition to the battleships, the heavy cruisers and light cruisers of the Russians also adopted a full-main gun design. These two warships of theirs performed very well in naval battles. Our armored cruisers and protective cruisers are not their opponents at all. Therefore, we planned to start building heavy cruisers and light cruisers. The performance of this type of warship was demonstrated by the construction of one or two heavy cruisers and light cruisers. And master the relevant technology. If suitable, the Imperial Army would then build heavy and light cruisers on a large scale. Lieutenant General Saito continued.

In the Battle of the South China Sea, not only were the eight armored cruisers of the Oriental Navy hoisted by the heavy cruisers of the Tsarist Navy, but the seven armored cruisers of the Sun Never Sunset were also no match for the heavy cruisers of the Tsarist Navy.

The three triple 210-mm guns of the Mosk-class heavy cruisers were completely 203-mm guns or 234-meter guns of armored cruisers that crushed the Oriental and Sunset.

After all, most of the main guns of armored cruisers were equipped with only four or even two. The rest are 152-mm rapid-fire guns.

In the face of heavy cruisers with strong firepower and equally powerful defense, they simply could not resist.

The same was true of light cruisers, and the Rostov-class light cruisers of the Russian Navy were also equipped with three triple 155-mm guns, which were completely protective cruisers that crushed the Eastern Empire and the Empire of the Sunset.

The performance of these warships left a deep impression on the Oriental people.

Although, the Oriental lost the naval battle. However, they learned a lot. It also ensures that they will not make these mistakes again in future naval battles.

Nishienji Komoto expressed support for these views of Lieutenant General Saito. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

“Saito-kun, you are professionals, and you can see the specific naval development plan. I have only one request, and that is that the Navy must be strong 830. In future wars, the Imperial Navy must defeat the Russians. Otherwise, we would not have really defeated the Russians. Even the security of the homeland is not guaranteed! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang reminded.

After all, the Eastern Empire was a country made up of islands, and if the navy could not win, then they could not win at all. This has become their biggest shortcoming. Or rather, a prerequisite for participation in war.

“Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” Lieutenant General Minoru Saito replied.

The strong support of Prime Minister Saienji Kōbo made Lieutenant General Saito very satisfied. This also means that the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean will achieve great development in the future.

Perhaps, in a few years, the strength of the Oriental Imperial Navy will be restored. It will even become even more powerful.

In addition to battleships, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, Vice Admiral Minoru Saito submitted plans for the construction of destroyers. However, compared with the powerful firepower of the A destroyer of the Tsarist Russian Navy, the destroyer of the Eastern Imperial Navy is still small in tonnage. In this way, not only the firepower is weak, but the defense is also weak. But there is a big advantage, that is, it is very cheap and can be mass-produced.
