Romanian Eagle

Chapter five hundred and eighteen the sea monster of the shipyard

The Communist Party's secret gathering, Eder did not know.

However, he believes that as long as Romania develops well and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the Communist Party, which is engaged in trouble and rain, will not be able to achieve anything. And these years of propaganda have also made everyone aware of Romania's territorial disputes with the Soviet Union, and many people hate this party as the Soviet Union's tentacles to disrupt Romania.

This party wants to grow and develop unless there is turmoil in Romania, and it can only be occupied by the Soviet Union if it wants to govern. So Edel didn't pay much attention to its threat.

In order to have an intuitive feeling of Romania's development, Eder once again started the inspection work. And his choice to inspect in 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, Admiral Lomodan, Minister of the Navy, was introducing the battleship under construction.

"not bad."

At present, the construction progress of the battleship Mircea is only 29%. At present, the hull is still not completed, and the scaffolding has also blocked its true appearance, but Edel can still see its majesty.

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

Edel thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, the weapons researchers from the three countries of Drois are currently working on 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."

Let Edel inquire about the development of the main gun, mainly because he saw a development accident in a report before. The accident that killed a German and two Italian researchers, and seriously injured nearly ten Romanian researchers, made him very concerned about it. And this accident also made the face of Lieutenant General Lomodan dull.

In fact, when the German pre-research work on the 380MM artillery was carried out on the Mackensen-class battlecruiser, there was a plan for installing the 380MM main gun. In the end, however, Germany chose the 350 caliber. After the First World War, the Italian side also carried out 380mm research and development in the face of the 380 main guns of the latest battleships of various countries, but the economic drag caused the project to be cut off later. The main gun research and development this time is completely based on the experience and technology of the Three Kingdoms, so the accident is excusable.

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

There is no need for a hammer to ring the drum, and Edel's words made Lieutenant General Lomodan feel the pressure. I saw him answer seriously. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, since the R\u0026D accident occurred, I have ordered that sufficient guarantees be ensured in terms of safety."

Edel also believed his words. Because this battleship was promoted by Lieutenant General Lomodan, I believe that there will be no slack in specific things.

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

"Is the supply of shipbuilding materials going smoothly?"

"It went very smoothly. The Romanian Steel Company delivered steel plates and various parts on time and quantity every month. In addition, the shipyard also built a large gate workshop to ensure the progress, 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 also bring instability, and what warships need most is stability and practicality."

After Edel finished speaking, he left Dock No. 3 where the battleship was being built, because the progress was too low to see its majestic whole. And Lieutenant General Lomodan obviously also took this into account, so he took Edel to another dock, where the heavy cruiser Brebisa under construction was nearing completion, just right for His Majesty's inspection.

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

This boat is much better.

Eder boarded the Brebisa, which was about to be completed, and intuitively felt the charm of the cannon ship. Although he knows that the future is the world of aircraft carriers, which man can resist the charm of fighting cannons face-to-face at sea? Moreover, in the narrow Black Sea, the power of the cannon and giant ships has been amplified, which is why Edel is willing to build these sea giants. Even in the future World War II, battleships still have an irreplaceable role, especially in the future Mediterranean.

"Your Majesty, this is my country's newly developed 203-caliber 45-times naval gun. Its bomb weighs 126 kilograms, has a maximum range of 21.7 kilometers, and has a high and low firing rate of -5-35 degrees. It can penetrate all the heavy-duty known in the world. A cruiser, and at 34 knots it can escape all battlecruisers. A very suitable ship for Romania.”

Lieutenant General Lomodan's words obviously bullied Edel's ignorance of the Navy. What does it mean to penetrate all heavy cruisers? At present, none of the heavy cruisers can resist the attack of 203MM and 45 times the naval gun. The 10,000-ton heavy cruiser is a thin-skinned, fast, and powerful route. If you want to achieve the perfect combination of fire protection and speed, unless you learn what kind of monster the Führer comes up with in the Admiral Hipper class. However, that is a serious excess, and Romania does not dare to be so blatant at the moment.

"nice."

Eder did not point out the rhetorical hyperbole in Lieutenant General Lomodan's words. After all, the navy has been poor for a long time, and it is not easy to encounter Edel merciful to allocate so much funds to enhance the strength of the navy. If you don't take the opportunity to show it to him, do you have to wait until you regret it before showing your merit?

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

Edel suddenly thought of staffing issues. A warship cannot be without operators.

"Your Majesty, 643 sailors and 68 officers have been prepared for a long time. They already know all the data of the Brebisa, and they will be seaworthy after the ship is launched."

"Good, you've worked hard."

Edel's praise made Lieutenant General Lomodan reply immediately. "Everything is for the kingdom, and the navy is willing to meet any incoming enemy for the benefit of the country."

The words of Lieutenant General Lomodan caused Edel to laugh.

"It's not so formal, no one can threaten the safety of Romania at the moment." Edel continued to talk while watching the busy construction of the Mircea not far away. "The number of new warships currently in service in the navy is gradually increasing. You need to ensure that they can exert their full strength. This is also a test for your navy."

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

"That's fine."

Edel looked at the busy scene in the Navy Yard and said.

He is more confident than anyone about Romania's future because he knows where the winning message is. However, Romania's current strength is still a little short, but fortunately there is enough time to catch up.
