After the plate cutting ceremony of the battleship Mikhail I, this epoch-making battleship will enter the intensive construction process.

The remaining five battleships will also start construction one after another.

It was almost 1800 AD, and there were still a few years to go to war with the Orientals. Time was running out for the Russian Empire. The Russian Empire needed to build these battleships as soon as possible, equip the troops, and then form combat effectiveness.

In this way, it will come in handy in the ensuing war with the Orientals. Otherwise, everything would be dead.

"How long will it take for these warships to be built?" Mikhail asked.

"Your Majesty, it is the first time we have built such a huge warship. Even if we have been preparing for a long time, we have already figured out the relevant subsystems. However, it is difficult to say whether there will be problems during the construction process. However, we can guarantee that within three years, that is, by the winter of 1802 AD, these warships will be fully commissioned! Rear Admiral Nevishin, the shipbuilding director, replied.

"Very good, then I hope that these battleships can be completed on schedule!" Mikhail replied.

By the winter of 1802, all warships were completed and commissioned. After more than a year of training, how can it be able to form combat effectiveness.

At that time, these cutting-edge warships will be able to show their strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield. This is bound to be a big war that will shock the whole world.

You know, the war between the Eastern Imperial Navy and the Great Qing Imperial Navy was the first big war after the navies of various countries entered the steam age, which also attracted the attention of the world.

In this war, it was concluded that rapid-fire firepower of small and medium-caliber was far more important than large-caliber naval guns with a slow rate of fire. This is why countries have increased the construction of armored cruisers, as well as former dreadnoughts.

However, once the Mikhail I-class battleships of the Tsarist Empire appeared, and showed strong combat effectiveness in the war, completely crushing the former dreadnoughts of the Orientals. Then, it will lead the development direction of the world navy.

In another time and space, the sun never set and the people took the lead in building dreadnoughts, so that the former dreadnoughts equipped by countries around the world became obsolete overnight. Well, in this time and space, all this will be done by the Russian Empire.

Mikhail and others, who participated in the steel-plate cutting ceremony of the battleship Mikhail I, did not leave Rostov at the first time, but held a meeting in the conference room.

"Gentlemen, the construction of our Mikhail I-class battleships has begun. I believe that this will be the most powerful battleship in the world. However, our main energy must also be changed, and we can no longer stop at the Mikhail I-class battleships. It's time for us to prepare for the next class of battleships .! Mikhail said.

This made the generals of the Russian Imperial Navy very excited. They wished that His Majesty the Tsar would increase his investment in the navy so that the Imperial Russian Navy could build more and more powerful warships. It is best to have the ability to wrench the wrist of the Imperial Royal Navy in a short period of time.

Catching up with and surpassing the Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets, and even defeating the Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets, is undoubtedly the ultimate goal of the admirals of various countries.

The sun never sets, and the Royal Navy has dominated the world's oceans for hundreds of years. It's like becoming a big boss that all countries have to face.

Mikhail although he was not prepared to invest too much in the Navy. However, basic naval equipment upgrades are still well maintained. In this way, it can ensure that the shipbuilding capabilities of the Russian Empire are continuously improved. In the future, when the Russian Empire has great strength and can compete for maritime supremacy with the Royal Navy, the Russian Empire will increase its investment in this regard.

Otherwise, even if the Russian Empire wants to build more new warships in the future, it will need to upgrade its technology first. In that case, it would be troublesome.

"Gentlemen, the next step is to realize the self-production of large oil-fired boilers, and even develop better performance boilers. At the same time, large steam engines, as well as more advanced steam engines, were also developed. In this way, our warships can have more power and have higher speed.

At the same time, the caliber of the main guns of battleships should be further improved. Currently, the caliber of the main guns of the Mikhail I-class battleships is 305 mm. Well, I hope that the caliber of the main guns of the next level of battleships will be increased to 356 mm! Mikhail said to the crowd.

In another time and space, after countries entered the dreadnoughts era, they only slightly overdid it, and then entered the superdreadnought era.

Among them, the Sun Bu Ren was equipped with super dreadnoughts with main gun calibers of 343 mm and 381 mm, and Lighthouse Country was equipped with 356 mm super dreadnoughts. The Germanic Empire transitioned directly to 380 mm. The Gauls were equipped with 340-mm superdreadnoughts. Even the Toyo ordered Kongo-class battle cruisers armed with 356 mm caliber guns from the Sun Never Set Empire.

Therefore, Mikhail hopes that the caliber of the capital ship of the next class will be raised to 356 mm.

Immediately, Mikhail came up with the design drawings for a new capital ship. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

This capital ship, he named the Izmail-class battle cruisers.

In another time and space, this class of battle cruisers was called the Tsar's Blade.

Unfortunately, it was not completed, and only part of the construction was stopped.

But in this time and space, this class of battle cruisers can definitely be built.

Mikhail improved the Izmail-class battlecruisers in another space-time (Nord Zhao), with the main turret changed from four to three, front two-in-one, piggyback design. At the same time, the defense is strengthened. The main armor belt was raised from 237.5 mm to 305 mm, and the defense was much enhanced. Of course, this also makes the full load displacement of the battleship as high as 38,000 tons.

Mainly because it is necessary to ensure that the maximum speed of the battleship reaches more than 28.5 knots. Therefore, the reason why many boilers and large steam engines need to be installed.

But even so, once commissioned, the Izmail-class battle cruisers will become one of the most powerful battle cruisers in the world. At the very least, the overall performance was able to surpass the Kongo-class battle cruiser Kai of the Toyo.

Of course, this is also Mikhail's main purpose. That is, even if the Russian Imperial Navy cannot be compared with the Royal Navy of the Empire, it must at least crush the Oriental talents.
