My Italy

Lucky Boyle was a beneficiary of Italy's industrialization. Of course, like him, many Italians benefited from this wave of industrialization.

Among them, the shipbuilding industry is the most obvious industry, because as a large number of Italian goods need to be transported to other parts of the world, this has stimulated the development of the shipping industry, and shipping requires ships, especially for trade in the Far East that travels halfway around the world. New types of large ships were needed, so this also led to a boom in the shipbuilding industry.

Any shipyard that can build ocean-going ships has received orders. As a leading company in civilian ship manufacturing, Andoshar Shipyard is full of orders.

However, even with such a busy shipbuilding business, Andoshar Shipyard still attaches great importance to military ship projects. Therefore, in its dedicated shipyard for building military ships, workers are also busy building Brescia, the second Venetian-class ship built for the Italian Navy, and General San Martin, Argentina's second warship of the same model.

That's right, after Argentina tasted the sweetness, it ordered a second Venetian improved model.

Mainly because the first ship, May 12th, was so useful that it gave the Argentinians a sufficient advantage in the confrontation with Chile and made the Chilean Navy disgraced.

In view of the inferiority of their navy, the Chileans also became ruthless. They also ordered a 10,000-ton armored cruiser built by them from the British, their traditional friendly country. Faced with the Chileans' move to purchase ships, how could Argentina let its enemies get what they wanted? The order for a second warship of the same model fell into the hands of the Italians.

And the most important thing is that this time the Argentines did not ask Italy to sell at a lower price. Maybe they were a little embarrassed this time because they took advantage of too much last time. (In fact, the main reason why Italians are unwilling to sell at a reduced price)

And it's still the same recipe. The Italian Navy divided the two Venetian improvements it was building into one and became the Argentinian General San Martin.

The personnel sent by Argentina to receive the warship are already on their way, and everyone at the Andozal Shipyard is also working overtime to launch the Argentine warship.

As the main designer of this class of battleships, Vittorio Cuniberti comes to guide the construction of battleships from time to time.

Today Vittorio came to the dock again to check the construction status of the two battleships.

Vittorio came to the dock, looked at the battleship that gradually revealed its ferocious appearance, and asked the chief engineer on the side. "How's it going? Is the project progressing smoothly?"

Facing this designer who often appeared in front of him, the chief engineer said with a smile. "No problem, everyone is working hard and it will be completed on time within the construction period. This is the proud work of our shipyard, and I have been keeping an eye on it."

Vittorio then continued to ask a few more questions, all of which received satisfactory answers.

While the two were chatting, a young man hurried over.

"Kuniboti, Kuniboti!"

When his name was called, Vittorio turned around and saw that it was Ferino from the design department. He was a newcomer who just came in this year, but he was very smart and very popular with everyone.

"Ferrino, what is making you so anxious? Could it be that you have new inspiration?"

What Vittorio said was the biggest embarrassment of Ferrino before. Ferrino, who had just arrived at that time, was young and energetic and publicly spoke in the design department to design a stunning and excellent work. As a result, Brin, the director of the design department, suppressed him on the spot, saying that he was unrealistic and too ambitious.

So teasing him about whether he had new inspirations became something that everyone in the design department liked to do, and he himself was not angry at all and always faced the teasing with a smile. Of course, this also fully shows that Ferino has successfully integrated into the design department, although he has become everyone's favorite pistachio.

So even Vittorio would tease him sometimes.

Faced with Vittorio's teasing, Ferrigno did not respond, but said another thing. "Your Excellency Brin asked me to come to you. He seems a little anxious. It's best if we go back quickly."

Director Brin is looking for me?

Upon hearing Ferino's words, Vittorio's face immediately became serious. Because the director rarely looks for him, especially when others look for him in a hurry, there must be something important.

Vittorio stood up immediately after apologizing to the superintendent beside him. "Let's go back to the design department first."

The design department is located in a three-story building in the northeast corner of the factory. Because of the importance of this place, the Navy also sent a class of guards to stand guard. After the two passed through the guard post, they immediately slipped into the design department. After asking about the director's location, Vittorio arrived outside Brin's office.

"Ta-ta-ta~"

After tidying up his clothes, Vittorio knocked on the office door. Following his knock on the door, a strong voice sounded. "Come in!"

Vittorio stepped through the door and saw an old man with gray hair flipping through a piece of information. This person is his immediate boss, Benedetto Breen.

"Director, you are looking for me."

Faced with Vittorio's question, Bryn smiled and said. "Yes, I have something urgent to ask you, come in quickly."

The director's attitude made Vittorio a little confused. You must know that Brin has always been stern in the design department. Although he has a better attitude when facing himself, it is absolutely impossible to show such a kind expression. He is completely like an old fox who has stolen a chicken.

"Director, just tell me if you have anything to do. I'm a little embarrassed by this."

Vittorio's words did not make Director Brin restrain himself. Instead, he stood up and closed the doors and windows tightly with a mysterious look.

Seeing Vittorio's suspicious look, Brin spoke out the reason after doing all this. "This matter cannot be known to others, because this is news that I finally found out in advance at the Navy Department. The Navy Department is currently discussing a new ironclad ship plan."

"What! Is this true?"

Facing Brin's words, Vittorio stood up in surprise. No wonder he stood up, because this news is good news for every ship designer. It means that their plans may be turned into real objects and dominate the sea.

"Sit down and wait until I finish."

Facing Vittorio who stood up excitedly, Brin quickly asked him to sit down.

"This news is true, for it was brought to me by an old friend of mine at the Admiralty, and he assured me that I would be the first to know of it; the others would be a week or so later."

Facing Director Brin's words, Vittorio asked anxiously. "Then what specific requirements does the Navy Department have for new ships?"
