My Italian: Chapter 568 Cavour commissioned
The weather in Taranto in March is pleasant, and it is the most suitable for traveling. The colorful wildflowers on the mountain and the bright sunshine are simply not perfect.
However, for the Italian Navy, now is not the time to appreciate the spring scenery, because today, the Italian Navy has commissioned another large warship, and the first ship of the Cavour-class, the Earl of Cavour, announced its service in Taranto.
So today's Taranto military port will look even more solemn.
Amidst the passionate military music and witnessed by many naval officers and soldiers, the service ceremony of the Cavour is going on.
As the Minister of the Navy, Admiral Argier held a small wooden rudder that symbolized the Cavour, and was speaking to its first captain, Colonel Bello.
"Colonel Bello, now, on behalf of the Navy, I am handing over the Earl of Cavour to you. I hope that you will lead the crew of the Cavour, so that the ship will be known throughout the world just like its name."
"Admiral I will, I swear on my honor."
The excited Colonel Bello took the rudder from the admiral. For being the first captain of the Cavour, he put in a lot of hard work, and at this moment he finally became the captain of a battleship. This is definitely the best reward for Colonel Bello, who has had a naval dream since he was a child.
At this time, bursts of applause erupted at the scene. They were applauding for the navy to usher in a new warship, and they were also applauding their colleagues. At the same time, a camera flickered, recording this moment.
Next, more than 900 crew members of the Cavour, led by Colonel Bello, boarded the familiar ship. Then Admiral Yagil took a group of naval officers to Cavour to have a look.
In fact, the ship had been visited by Admiral Yagier long before it was launched, and it had been carried out several times for outfitting and sea trials. Now it's more of a show, but it still took half an hour to go around again.
Admiral Yagil, who had another tour on the Cavour, then, accompanied by Lieutenant General Lefer, Major General Gomes and others, inspected the situation of the fleet.
"Leifer, the Cavour is the beginning. There are two ships, the Julio and the Duilio, to serve this year. As the commander of the battleship formation, you have a heavy task. You need to train the three ships to become combat-ready as soon as possible."
"Admiral, I will personally grasp the training situation of the three ships serving this year, and I will also let him communicate with the captains of the first battleship squadron."
Facing Admiral Yagier's request, Lefer immediately announced his next steps.
"This is very good. It is also good for the captains of the battleships to communicate more. I think it is a good way to use the experience I have explored before and pass it on to the newcomers. It can also expand the scope. The captains of new cruisers and destroyers can also Strengthen the exchange of ideas."
Admiral Yagier praised Lefer's approach very much.
In the face of the general's praise, Lefer did not show any joyful expression, as if the praise was not about him.
Yajier admired Lefer's calm personality, otherwise he would not have chosen him to lead the battleship formation.
Then he turned his attention to Major General Gomes on the other side. "Gomes, how is the tactical use and training of the battlecruisers going? You know that next year, the Milan and the Florence will be in service, and there will be many things by then. If the two ships are trained at the same level If you don’t come out, you will be dismissed.”
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, Admiral. I will definitely train those two warships to be elite. I have already selected all the personnel who will board the ship. All of them are elite soldiers and generals. Only a little training will make them You are satisfied."
Unlike the calmness of Lieutenant General Lefer, Major General Gomes seemed a little lively. However, perhaps it is precisely because of its fearless personality that it is particularly handy in the use of battle patrol.
Bold and careful, with a keen sense of smell, this is Admiral Yagier's evaluation of him. Of course, as the head of the navy, Admiral Yagier can also handle him to death.
"Gomes, this is what you said. If you do a good job, then I will consider adding stars to your epaulettes."
Well, Admiral Yagier's words made everyone except Lefer immediately cast envious eyes on him. The admiral's words are not considered, he just expressly stated that if you do well, you will be promoted.
Gomez, who had long been obsessed with the lieutenant general, was overjoyed. He didn't dare to say such silly words as 'this is true'. Instead, he spoke. "Don't worry, Admiral, I will definitely train the two ships to be elite."
Gomes, who was stimulated by the rank of lieutenant general, wished to start preparing for the entry of two Milan-class battlecruisers now, but he was finally pulled back by reason.
Looking around, there are currently more than 30 warships, large and small, moored in the Taranto naval port. These warships are basically cutting-edge warships, and their service time is basically no more than 10 years. They can be regarded as the most elite warships in Italy. .
"That's Petrarch, followed by Dante, Dreadnought, Leonardo, and to the left of it Michelangelo, Taranto, Bolzano, Fiume. Our eight most elite battlecruisers and battleships, plus the Cavour, which is in service today, currently we have 9 large battleships that have been in service. Next to the battlecruisers, there are..."
On the observation tower of the military port, Lefer was explaining the warships docked in the harbor to Admiral Yagier. Of course, at this time, the priority must be from large to small. And Admiral Yagier listened very seriously to Lieutenant General Lefer's narration.
Admiral Yagier didn't speak until he finished speaking. "It's rare for the navy to have such sufficient funds at present. Next, the navy will usher in a batch of warship construction work. You need to prepare for the upcoming large number of warships. And these new warships in service, our Navy Department It means ~www.mtlnovel.com~ most of them will dial to Taranto, you have to be prepared."
The amount of information in Admiral Yagier's words is not low, and he told them that most of the new warships will be sent to Taranto. This means that the tasks of these people are heavier and they need to work harder.
Of course, this is also an opportunity for performance. As long as it is done well, it is not difficult for the commander of the squadron or the commander of the base. Moreover, these warships need formations, and with more warships, more commanders are needed for formations. Even if you don't need it yourself, can you give a hint to a promising officer?
Regarding the thoughts of the other officers present, Lefer and Gomes knew a little without guessing.
For the two of them, it is most important to manage the work in hand, because they hold the most elite power of the navy in their hands, and they don't need to think about other things at all.
