My Italian: Chapter 547 Milan-class Battlecruiser begins construction
Today, a lot of people gathered in a large dock at the Venice Naval Shipyard. These people came to participate in a ceremony, the groundbreaking ceremony of the first ship of the Milan class, the Milan.
Speaking of which, the Milan-class battle patrol is also on a bumpy road. It was supposed to start construction in March last year, but who caused the sudden Messina earthquake in Italy, which caused more than 100,000 casualties and caused direct economic losses of 5 billion lire.
With such a huge loss, the Italian government needs to give priority to solving the disaster relief problem, and the military's funding can only be reduced again and again.
But it's better now, after taking a breath, the Italian Navy can finally spare funds to start the Milan-class battle cruiser.
For this Milan-class battlecruiser, to be honest, the internal mood of the navy is very complicated, because its construction cost is not low at all.
At present, the Milan-class battlecruiser has undergone a little change from before, mainly in the shooting director and radio. In addition, in order to solve possible air defense problems, 18 40mm anti-aircraft guns have been added. This anti-aircraft gun is also a masterpiece of Italian military industry. In order to deal with possible attacks from enemy airships, the Italian military developed this anti-aircraft gun. This 40mmL/50 anti-aircraft gun has a maximum shooting height of 85 degrees, a muzzle velocity of 714 meters, a maximum shooting height of 4500 meters, and 60 rounds per minute.
Although this data does not look good, it is enough as an anti-aircraft weapon in this era. After all, the fastest plane in the sky is only 200㎞ per hour, and the huge airship is even slower.
But no matter how it is modified, the first keel of the Milan will be laid here today, which represents the beginning of a new generation of battle cruisers. Of course, as the first major event of the Navy in 1910, it is natural to hold a groundbreaking ceremony.
Therefore, Admiral Yagier, who is in charge of the navy, visited the shipyard and personally laid the first keel for the Milan under the witness of everyone.
When Admiral Yagier laid down the first keel, there was warm applause at the scene. The entire navy is applauding for the start of building large warships again, while the shipyard is applauding for new large orders. Although their purposes are different, they are all applauding for the construction of the Milan in front of them.
Then the shipyard brought champagne very thoughtfully, and then the dock turned into a reception. The middle and high-level executives of the shipyard and the navy were toasting each other, promoting mutual emotional exchanges.
This is normal. For a shipyard, if it wants to get an order from the Navy, it must have a good relationship with it. Those who think that they only need their own skills are gods who live in ivory towers and do not eat the fireworks of the world.
There is also a focal point in this kind of occasion, and Admiral Yagier, Minister of the Navy, is the focal point.
"Your Excellency, Admiral, I heard that the navy wants to resume the construction of the fourth ship of the Cavour class?"
As the most well-informed person in the shipyard, General Manager Horn stood beside the admiral and asked cautiously.
"Why, your shipyard still wants to make an idea of the Andrea Doria?"
Although the admiral didn't say it clearly, what he said meant that it was confirmed that the No. 4 Cavour ship was to be built. Of course, the admiral's tone was not very good, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with testing himself.
As the general manager of the shipyard, Horn couldn't hear the minister's dissatisfaction, but for the sake of the local interests of the shipyard, he insisted on it.
"Yes, Your Excellency, our shipyard is currently the most powerful in Italy, and we are very confident in successfully completing the construction of the fourth ship, the Delia Doria."
Yagier didn't answer General Manager Horn's full assurance, but raised his glass instead. Its meaning is already very clear, and I don't want to talk about it now.
Since the Secretary of the Navy didn't need to talk about it, what else could the others say, they could only raise their glasses and share a drink.
In fact, the navy has not yet made up its mind about Cavour's No. 4 ship. It has been confirmed that it will be built, and there is an attitude of rushing to start the horse while the funds are abundant. It's just that the Navy has not yet made up its mind on who to hand over the order to.
Being indecisive is simply a matter of disagreement.
Some people in the Ministry of the Navy believe that the navy's orders cannot be patronized by its own shipyard. Although the Venice Naval Shipyard is strong, it cannot rely on this shipyard to solve the navy's orders. Since several powerful shipyards are needed, the navy cannot show favoritism when it comes to order distribution, which is not conducive to the navy's shipbuilding plan.
The other group of people is opposed. They think that the navy orders give priority to their own shipyards, so there is nothing wrong with that. Not to mention that the navy's own shipyard is strong, and it can better assist the navy in completing shipbuilding. Of course, several other shipyards and naval orders can also be allocated, but they need to meet the premise of their own shipyards.
The problem now is that the two groups of people hold their own opinions, and no one can convince the other. It is not easy for him, the Secretary of the Navy, to make a direct decision on this. That's why he pretended not to hear General Manager Horn's question.
Regarding the general's pretending to be deaf and dumb, other people of course dare not continue to mention this matter, so they can only continue to socialize.
In fact, the groundbreaking ceremony of the Milan was not long, and it took only one hour to complete. But the reception later took longer and lasted until the evening.
But Admiral Yagier didn't stay for long, so he stayed for a while and left. He is still rushing back to Rome to deal with many affairs of the Admiralty, how can he stay outside for a long time.
Early the next morning, Admiral Yagier appeared in the Admiralty building in high spirits.
"Hello, Admiral!"
"Hello, Admiral!"
"Hello Minister!"
"..."
In a warm greeting, Admiral Yagier came to his office.
"Blank, is there anything that needs to be prioritized today?"
As soon as he entered the office, he asked his secretary. If you want to be the Secretary of the Secretary of the Navy, you must meet a requirement. Every morning before the arrival of Admiral Yagier, arrange the documents that need to be handled by him according to the importance and urgency, so that he can handle them.
"Your Excellency, the top document has priority."
When I came to the desk, there was a stack of coded documents on the desk.
Admiral Yagier sat on the chair and immediately reached out to pick up the topmost document. Looking at the title, he immediately knew why the secretary put it on top.
The title is very simple, discussing the tactical role of the battle cruiser and its cooperation with the main fleet.
Regarding this title, Admiral Yagier ignored it and looked at the author column, where the names of Lefer and Gomez were impressively written.
Admiral Yagier carefully read what these two wrote. This document is not thick, about 8,000 words, and it can be finished in a few minutes, but Admiral Yagier is different. He read it for an hour and a half. After he read it, he raised the document in his hand Instructed the secretary. Bayi Chinese Network
"Let them both come to see me."
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
Shen Changqing was walking on the road, and whenever he met someone he knew well, he would say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who.
There is no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they are indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing is already used to it.
Because this is the Zhenmagic Division, an organization that maintains the stability of Daqin. Its main duty is to kill monsters and ghosts, and of course there are other side jobs.
It can be said.
In Zhenmensi, everyone's hands were stained with a lot of blood.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it as time went by.
Zhenmus is huge.
Those who can stay in Zhenmusi are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Zhenmagic Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy, and the other is the Exorcist.
Anyone who enters the Town of Demons starts from the lowest level of Demon Slayers,
Then he was promoted step by step, and eventually he was expected to become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the town of magic division, and he was also the lowest-ranked demon slayer.
Possess the memory of the predecessor. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
He is also very familiar with Zhenmusi's environment.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Different from other places full of chills in Zhenmagus, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd. In the **** Zhenmagus, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing just hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
Enter the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A scent of ink mixed with a faint smell of blood hit his face, making his brows furrowed instinctively, but then relaxed quickly.
There is almost no way to clean off the **** smell on everyone in Zhenmusi.
