In Michael's memory, in another time and space, when the Russian Empire was at war with the Japanese Empire, the main force of the Japanese Empire's navy was six battleships and eight armored cruisers.
If the Russian Navy wanted to win future wars, they had to gain an advantage in this aspect.
The Mosk-class heavy cruiser was definitely stronger than the Japanese armored cruisers.
Moreover, the Russian Empire had the advantage in numbers.
Twelve against eight, they could win no matter what. If they still couldn't win, then the navy of the Russian Empire was too useless.
"Your Majesty, the Mosk-class cruiser is definitely one of the most powerful cruisers in the world.”General Alexander was also full of praise for the Mosk-class cruiser.
Michael nodded. A-class destroyer, Rostov-class light cruiser, and Mosk-class heavy cruiser. Once all of these warships were completed, the Northern Fleet and Black Sea Fleet would each have 18 Destroyers, 12 Light Cruisers, and 6 Heavy Cruisers.
In this case, the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet could barely build a framework.
However, in the absence of battleships, the strength of the two fleets still had a lot of room for improvement.
"Your Majesty, we also need to build battleships. If the Imperial Navy wanted to catch up to the Royal Navy of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and even the Gaul Navy, they would need to build a batch of advanced battleships with powerful combat power!”General Alexander continued.
Originally, during the reign of Nicholas II, he had established a huge naval development plan.
Nicholas II was ambitious and wanted to develop the Russian Navy into a powerful navy that was second only to the Royal Navy of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and the Gaul Navy. They even wanted to challenge the dominance of the Royal Navy of the Empire of the Never Setting Sun.
Although the Russian Empire was a continental country, the army was the main force.
However, this did not mean that the navy generals were not ambitious.
Everyone also hoped that the navy's strength could be further strengthened.
" Yes," Michael nodded." I've already thought about the capital ships that the Imperial Navy will build next. However, with the current technical conditions, there were still quite a few difficulties. Therefore, the major shipyards of the Empire had to think of ways to upgrade their technology before building battleships!”
General Alexander couldn't help but frown. The Russian Empire's shipbuilding ability might be inferior to the Empire of the Never Setting Sun. However, they could also build battleships. After all, there were ten battleships in service in the Russian Navy.
However, in Michael's eyes, these old dreadnought ships would soon become obsolete.
Then, Mihail took out another design blueprint from the drawer of his desk.
"This is the blueprint of the battleship I designed. I named it the 'Michael I class battleship!”Michael introduced.
General Alexander immediately began to carefully examine the design.
The 'Michael I-class' battleship was a new battleship designed by Michael based on the dreadnought of another time and space. This battleship had a displacement of 22,000 tons and a maximum speed of 22 knots. It was equipped with three 305mm main cannons, 12 150mm sub-cannons, 16 75mm rapid-fire cannons, and 20 40mm rapid-fire cannons. The water line, the front of the turret, and the commander's tower were made of 280mm new armor steel!
According to Michael's plan, he would build six 'Michael I-class' battleships, namely 'Michael I',' Alexei I','Fyodor I',' Ivan V','Peter I', and' Princess Sofia 'battleships.
This was a dreadnought ship, and its performance was much more advanced than the previous dreadnought ships.
Putting everything else aside, they would definitely have an overwhelming advantage against the Japanese's dreadnought ships.
General Alexander was also very satisfied with the 'Michael I-class' battleship.
"Your Majesty, is it more suitable to use the full-heavy artillery mode than the second-class main cannon adopted by the mainstream battleships at present?”General Alexander asked.
"Of course! As the caliber of the battleship's main cannon continued to increase, its power became greater and greater, and its range also became longer and longer. In terms of firepower and combat power, the full-heavy-artillery warships were much more powerful than the current battleships. Moreover, its defense was stronger and its speed was faster. However, with our current technology, it is still very difficult to build these warships. Therefore, the shipyard had to think of ways to get more advanced technology from the Germanic Empire and the Sun Never Sets Empire. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the ability to build such a battleship!”Mihail said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will urge the shipyard to carry out technological upgrades!”General Alexander quickly replied.
