My Italian: Chapter 475 trip to venice

The weird political situation in Rome did not last long. In March, Cruz of the National Socialist Party and Prime Minister Antonio publicly appeared hand in hand, announcing the easing of the tense situation.

Of course, it is not without cost to calm down this tension, but there are two more members of the National Socialist Party in the cabinet. Isteban Tamasi as the Ministry of Labor and Ricardo Dias as the Minister of Transport.

This is obviously a deal. The Prime Minister took out these two unpopular positions to win over the National Socialist Party and avoid embarrassing things for him. And the National Socialist Party is not at a loss. It can allow more people to enter the cabinet to experience the operation of the government and make plans for the future.

But when they are happy, other parties are unhappy, especially those on the right. For this they accused the National Socialist party of being a traitor to the right-wing party, a right-wing party in disguise.

But no matter how much they yell, this can't change anything, and the political undercurrent caused by the parliamentary election has basically subsided.

Faced with such a result, Carlo, as the king, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't want to do multiple-choice questions either. Although he single-handedly supported the National Society, he has not yet decided whether to let him take power.

The reason is very simple, because this kind of extreme right-wing or extreme left-wing political party is quite difficult to control. Although it is very good at integrating the country, it is a seven-injury fist, and it hurts others first.

So Carlo has always been very hesitant about the far-right National Socialist Party. Although the top leaders of the National Socialist Party do not seem to be as extreme as the younger generations, and there are no talented people, but who can say this kind of thing clearly.

Well now, at least the National Socialist Party realizes that it is not good enough to form a cabinet, which allows Carlo to do one less multiple-choice question.

When the political arena in Rome gradually calmed down, a group of different guests came to the military port in Venice.

"Is this the new battleship?"

On the pier, a foreign soldier wearing a marshal's uniform was looking enviously at this new battleship named Dreadnought.

"Marshal Tirpitz, this is our latest battleship."

Accompanying the German Navy Minister was Admiral Argier, the Italian Navy Minister. As for the two behind, it is the naval officers of Germany and Italy.

As for the fact that Marshal Tirpitz came to Venice all the way, it was all because of this new battleship.

Regarding the battleship he saw for the first time in front of him, Tirpitz had a lot of data on it. The standard displacement is 19,100 tons, and the full-load displacement is 22,500 tons. The firepower is 8 305mm 45-caliber main guns and 14 105mm single-barreled secondary guns. The thickest armor is 300 mm, and the speed is 22 knots. Such a warship with such a large displacement and its excellent performance made Tirpitz full of envy for Italian warship designers.

Of course, this is the literal data he learned. As for whether it can be achieved specifically, he needs to ask his Italian counterparts.

"Let's go up and have a look first."

At the invitation of Admiral Yagier, German officers headed by Marshal Tirpitz boarded the Dauntless. The turret, sailor cabin, officer cabin, power cabin, etc., Tirpitz took the German officers to see them all.

"Such an excellent battleship, this is a masterpiece across the ages." Tirpitz, who visited the battleship all over, couldn't help but praise. As an admiral who understands the navy, Tirpitz knows too well what a good warship does to the navy.

Among other things, take this Dreadnought as an example. If the performance is as stated by the Italian Navy, it will be much more powerful than the latest German Braunschweig-class battleship.

Germany's currently most powerful Brunswick-class battleship has a displacement of 14,208 tons (standard) and 15,394 tons (full load). /45 guns, 4 500mm water torpedo tubes. The main armor belt is 225mm, the deck is 50mm-127mm, the turret is 225mm, and the conning tower is 254mm. The power is 3-seat 3-stage expansion steam engine, 3 shafts, 18,000 horsepower, a maximum speed of 19 knots, and an endurance of 6,500 nautical miles/10 knots.

This performance is not as good as the Dreadnought at first glance. At least two Brunswick-class battleships can compete with it, and they are still at a disadvantage. Because the opponent's ship is fast, and the initiative on the battlefield is also in the opponent's hands, it is up to the opponent to decide when and where to fight.

"But the cost is also extraordinary."

In the face of Tirpitz's praise, Admiral Yagier felt a toothache when he thought of the cost of the ship. Although Italian shipbuilding has always been known for its high performance and high cost, the construction cost of this ship has created a new high for the Italian Navy. .

"How much?"

"42.87 million lire."

The price quoted by Admiral Yagier moved Tirpitz, but thinking about the combat effectiveness of the ship, all navies in the future will inevitably need to build this type of warship.

In fact, this cost is already a little lower than that of the Dreadnought built by the British Empire in history. However, the Italian Dreadnought is a big guy with a capacity of 19,100 tons, which is a full thousand tons higher than that of the British Empire in history, and the price is lower than the other side. There are two main reasons.

On the one hand, Italy has plenty of time and does not require workers to work overtime, so labor costs should be saved. (The historical dreadnought ship was built on October 2, 1905, launched on February 10, 1906, and entered service on December 2, 1906. It can be seen how fast the ship is)

Second, the purchase price of Italian armor steel is cheap. That's right, the Krupp and Harvey armor steel currently used by the navies of various countries is 100 pounds per ton, as a comparison of 6-8 pounds per ton of ordinary steel. (There is ample evidence that the two world suppliers of armor steel are playing in harmony). The purchase price of armor steel authorized by Italy from Krupp is only 19.7 pounds per ton. This battleship needs thousands of tons of armor steel, the price of which can be imagined.

After Tirpitz heard the price quoted by Admiral Yagier, he looked at Kuniberty on the other side with more and more eyes. It would be great if this talented warship designer was a German.

"Cuniberty, congratulations on designing another epoch-making masterpiece."

Tirpitz greeted this friend who had never made friends with sincerity.

"Marshal, it's overrated. It's just a product of the times. The new large-caliber artillery combines the speed of fire and power. Sooner or later, everyone will find that the two-caliber main gun is less and less cost-effective. And the improvement in armor performance, and then Coupled with the reform of the power system, battleships with uniform caliber, full armor and high speed will appear sooner or later, I just moved a little earlier."

Faced with the praise of Marshal Tirpitz, Kuniberty dared not bear it. And he also knew that the marshal secretly wanted to invite him to the German Admiralty more than once, and even persuaded the Kaiser to take out the earl's title for this reason. Fortunately, Kuniberty woke up quickly, otherwise he almost agreed.

"Kuniberti, you are being polite. Sometimes a quick step can change a lot. This is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person, and you are a genius among geniuses."

Tirpitz flattered a person so unremittingly, which surprised the German naval generals behind him. Although this Kuni Berti designer is very good, much better than the German designers, but you can't boast so bottomlessly.

Although these German generals failed to see through Tirpitz's actions, Admiral Yagier was not ambiguous at all, and stepped forward to pull him. "Your Excellency Tirpitz, let's take a look at the command tower, where our most advanced communication equipment is installed."

Before leaving, he gave Kuni Berti a wink, and Kuni Berti, who got the hint, did not follow at this time, but changed the direction instead. After he turned a section of the deck, a sound from the cabin caught his attention.

"Plesser, don't talk nonsense, Sir Kuniberty will punish you if he hears it."

"Groso, don't worry too much. They're on the deck, and I'm wrong. The Intrepid's torpedo defense is indeed not good. It has a small number of torpedo compartments. I calculated that it only takes two A 533 mm heavy torpedo, the mine protection structure of the Intrepid can't stand it."

"You're crazy, talking about the best Italian warship designer here."

Hearing someone discussing the shortcomings of his battleship, Kuniberti couldn't sit still, and immediately appeared in front of the two of them. "Then tell me, how to design the lightning protection compartment?"

Facing the sudden appearance of Kuni Berti, the two young people were frightened and silly. It was obvious that they knew Kuni Berti.

"I'm sorry, Sir Kuniberty, my friend is drunk and he is talking nonsense."

One of them, a young man with short hair, hurriedly apologized to Kuniberti.

Kuniberti ignored the man's apology and looked at the other instead. "You are Priese, tell me how to change my lightning protection design. If you are right, there will be rewards."

Facing Kuniberti's words, the young man named Plese summoned up his courage and said. "Sir Kuniberty, you said so."

"I said it, and I will never go back on my word."

"I think that the current warships do not pay enough attention to underwater threats. Many warships only have more than a dozen simple watertight compartments to protect against torpedoes. Although Chinese warships attach great importance to the deadly threat of torpedoes, they are only adding watertight compartments. In addition, a lightning protection protrusion is added to the ship's side. The lightning protection protrusion will affect the speed and steering of the battleship."

So I have a view that the underwater part of the battleship does not use the current lightning protection compartment, nor does it need to use the lightning protection protrusion that affects the performance. Instead, use a lightning protection device designed by me. I call it a double layer. Drum structure lightning protection system. First of all, the lightning protection device is to set a large drum structure in the center, and then design a circle of small drum structures around the cylindrical structure, UU reading www.uukanshu. com In these barrel structures we can fill liquids. When the torpedo hits the device, the violent explosion shock wave can be borne by the first small drum structure at the impact point, then the central drum structure can continue to bear it, and then other small drum structures. "

Kuniberti understood what this young man named Priese said. And I have to admit that the idea of ​​this Plese is really unique. The barrel-shaped lightning protection structure does sound much better than the lightning protection compartment and the lightning protection protrusion. Of course, further testing is needed to know the specific situation.

At this time, Kuniberti looked at this young man named Plese with admiration in his eyes. "What's your full name?"

"Umberto Plesse."

"You come to the Naval Design Office to find me tomorrow."

After leaving this sentence, Kuniberti left, leaving only a bewildered Priese.

"Plese, you've made a lot of money. Sir Kuniberti is definitely going to recruit him to him. This is the best warship design department in Italy. You've made a lot of money."
