Chapter 518： Behemoth of the sea in the shipyard

Edel did not know the secret gathering of the Communist Party.

However, he believes that as long as Romania develops well and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the communist party that engages in ups and downs will not succeed. Moreover, these years of propaganda have also let everyone know about the territorial dispute between Romania and the Soviet Union. Many people regard this party as the tentacle of the Soviet Union to disrupt Romania.

This party wants to develop and grow unless there is turbulence in Romania. As for the ruling party, it can only be occupied by the Soviet Union. So Edel is not too concerned about its threat.

In order to have an intuitive feeling about the development of Romania, Edel started inspection work again. And his choice to inspect Varna this time is also a manifestation of the importance he attaches to the navy.

"Your Majesty, this is the battleship Mircea."

In front of Edel, Vice Admiral Lomodan, Secretary of the Navy, was introducing the battleship to him.

"very nice."

At present, the construction progress of the battleship Mircea has only reached 29%, and the hull has not yet been completed. The scaffolding has also obscured its true appearance, but Edel can still see its majesty from it.

"By the way, how is the development of the main gun?"

Edel couldn't help but ask what he thought of.

"Your Majesty, the weapons researchers of the three countries of Deloitte are currently stepping up the development of the 380MM main gun at the Lviv Artillery Factory. I believe they will be able to complete their work on the schedule."

Asked Edel to inquire about the development of the main gun, mainly because he saw a research and development accident in a report before. He was very concerned about the accident that killed a German and two Italian researchers, and nearly ten Romanian researchers were seriously injured. And this accident also left Lieutenant General Lomodan's face blank.

In fact, when the German pre-research work on the 380MM gun was in the Mackensen-class battlecruiser, there was a plan for installing the 380MM main gun. But in the end, Germany chose the 350 caliber. After the First World War, Italy also carried out 380mm research and development in the face of the 380 main gun of the latest battleships of various countries, but the project was later cut off due to economic drag. The research and development of the main gun this time was carried out entirely in combination with the experience and technology of the Three Kingdoms, so the accident is understandable.

Edel ignored the embarrassed expression on Lieutenant General Romodan's face and continued. "The safety of the research needs to be guaranteed. The main gun research this time is very beneficial to the three countries. I hope that the next research work will go smoothly."

The drum was played without a heavy hammer, and Edel's words made Lieutenant General Lomodan feel pressured. I saw him answer seriously. "Your Majesty, please rest assured, since the R&D accident occurred, I have ordered that we must ensure sufficient safety in terms of safety."

Edel also believed his words. Because this battleship was promoted by Lieutenant General Lomodan, I believe that it will not let go of specific things.

Edel looked at the busy workers on the giant ship in the dock and asked with concern.

"Has the supply of shipbuilding materials gone smoothly?"

"Very smoothly. The Romanian Steel Company delivers steel plates and various parts every month on time and in quantity. In order to ensure the progress, the shipyard has also built a large gate workshop, and the marine gas welding technology we imported from Germany is also powerful. To ensure the normal construction of the ship,"

"That's good. Of course, we don't necessarily need to use all new technologies, after all, new technologies will bring instability, and what warships need most is stability and practicality."

After finishing talking, Edel left the No. 3 dock where the battleship was built, because the progress was too low to see its majestic full picture. It was obvious that Lieutenant General Lomodan had taken this into consideration, so he took Edel to another dock, where the heavy cruiser Brebista, which was being built, was nearing completion, which was just right for His Majesty’s inspection.

In the adjacent dock No. 5, a giant sea beast is lying quietly in the dock, and its four towering 203 naval guns tell the world of its power.

This mutton boat is much better.

Edel boarded the Brevista, which was about to be completed, and intuitively felt the charm of the giant cannon. Although knowing that the future is the world of aircraft carriers, which man can resist the charm of fighting a giant cannon at sea face to face? Moreover, in the small black sea, the power of the cannon giant has been amplified, which is why Edel is willing to build these sea monsters. In the future World War II, battleships will still have an irreplaceable role, especially in the future in the Mediterranean.

"Your Majesty, this is our country’s newly developed 203 caliber 45 times naval gun. It weighs 126 kilograms, has a maximum range of 21.7 kilometers, and a range of -5-35 degrees. It can penetrate all the heavy-duty known in the world. Cruiser, and its speed of 34 knots allows it to escape the pursuit of all battlecruisers. It is a very suitable warship for Romania."

Lieutenant General Lomodan's words clearly bullied Edel's ignorance of the Navy. What does it mean to penetrate all heavy cruisers? At present, none of the heavy cruisers can withstand the attack of 203MM45 times naval guns. The 10,000-ton heavy patrol is a thin-skinned, fast, and powerful route. If you want to achieve the perfect combination of fire protection speed, unless you learn what kind of monster the head of state has come up with Admiral Hipper. But that is a serious over-standard cargo, and Romania currently dare not be so blatant.

"nice."

Edel did not point out the exaggerated rhetoric in the words of Lieutenant General Lomodan. After all, the navy has been poor for a long time, and it is hard to encounter Edel's compassionate allocation of so much funds to strengthen the navy If you don't take the opportunity to show it to him, do you have to wait for repentance to show merit?

"By the way, has the issue of the deployment of officers and soldiers been resolved?"

Edel suddenly thought of the staffing problem. With a warship, you can't live without an operator.

"Your Majesty, the 643 sailors and 68 officers have been prepared. They are already aware of the various data of the Brevista, and they will be seaworthy after the ship is launched."

"Yes, thanks for your hard work."

Edel's praise made Lieutenant General Romodan replied immediately. "Everything is for the kingdom, and the navy is willing to confront any invading enemy for the benefit of the country."

The words of Lieutenant General Lomodan caused Edel to laugh.

"It doesn't need to be so formal, no one can threaten Romania's safety at present." Edel continued watching the busy construction of the Mircea not far away. "At present, the number of new warships in service in the navy is gradually increasing. You need to ensure that they can use their full capabilities. This is also a test for your navy."

Edel's words were a spur to Lieutenant General Lomodan, and the navy steward replied. "Your Majesty, please rest assured. In recent years, the number of applicants for the Naval Academy has been increasing year by year, especially the construction of the battleship Mircea last year, which brought the number of applicants to a new high. The navy is full of problems with the staffing of new warships. confidence."

"That's good."

Edel looked at the busy scene in the naval shipyard and said.

For the future of Romania, he is more confident than anyone else, because he knows where the announcement of the victory is. However, Romania's current strength is still a bit weak, but fortunately there is enough time to catch up.
