Time quickly came to the d of November 907, which was the day wh the first of Russia''s two dreadnought battleships, Peter Pavlovskiy, was officiallypleted.
The Russians had high hopes for these two dreadnoughts and paid a considerable price for them.
With an investmt of 5 million Pounds, they obtained two powerful dreadnoughts and some small warships. It could be considered as Russia''sst investmt in the navy.
At least for the next five years, the Russians probably wouldn''t invest any more in the navy, as they were guinely out of money.
However, the good news was that these two dreadnoughts had significantly improved Russia''s naval strgth.
No matter which squadron these two dreadnoughts served in, they would have a more significant impact in their respective regions.
Currtly, the Ind Nation had no ns to build any dreadnoughts. If Russia were to equip two dreadnoughts in the Far East beforehand, could the Ind Nation be Russia''s oppont?
The answer, of course, was no. Although dreadnoughts had not yet participated in actual battles, their data was well-known to all countries.
There was a rtively unified and standard answer from all countries: a single dreadnought could indeed be equivalt to two or three old-fashioned battleships.
Of course, this is only from a theoretical perspective. If they were really involved in a naval battle, the oue would be ever-changing, but the dreadnoughts'' advantage was an undiable fact for everyone.
The Russians took thepletion of Peter Pavlovskiy very seriously and ev st Geral Makarov, themander of the Pacific Squadron, to personally attd theunching ceremony of the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship.
Of course, naval officers and soldiers from the Russian Pacific Squadron were also prest, as they would join the maritime test of the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship after theunching ceremony.
On the one hand, they would be able to truly appreciate the power of this dreadnought; on the other hand, they would be able to master the control of Peter Pavlovskiy more quickly and developbat capabilities faster.
Russia is currtly an important ally of Austrsia and one of the countries with the best rtionship with Austrsia.
As a result, Geral Makarov''s arrival was tak seriously by Arthur, who dispatched Minister of Defce Kt to apany him in attding theunching ceremony of the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship.
Theunching ceremony was straightforward. After Peter Pavlovskiy was transported from the shipyard to the nearby port and sessfullyunched, the sounds of cannons and cheers rang out over the harbor.
Although this warship belonged to the Russians, it was indepdtly built by the Austrsians themselves, hce attracting some Austrsian onlookers.
After all, ording to the governmt''s construction ns, Austrsia''s navy would be equipped with such warships in a few years, which was the real reason for the Austrsians'' curiosity about the Monarch-ss battleships.
The main gun currtly equipped on the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship was a 83mm main gun, as Austrsia had not yet mastered the 45x caliber 305mm main gun.
However, this situation would change soon. ording to information from Germany, by mid908 at thetest, Germany would fully master the technology of the 305mm main gun and be willing to share it with Austrsia.
This meant that the battleships built by Austrsia after mid908 could be equipped withrger caliber main guns, resulting in a significant increase in firepower.
Of course, Arthur had not forgott the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship, and ev promised that once Austrsia mastered the technology of the 305mm main gun, they would rece the main gun on Peter Pavlovskiy for free.
Before seeing the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship with his own eyes, Geral Makarov was skeptical about the Austrsians'' shipbuilding capabilities.
After all, only sev years ago, Austrsia was a colony of the British Empire, and Geral Makarov did not pay much atttion to thebined Australian Six Colonies at that time.
It had only be sev years since th, and Geral Makarov did not believe that Austrsia could master the technology to build the most advanced battleships.
However, the reality soon pped Geral Makarov in the face. Wh Geral Makarov saw the alreadypleted Peter Pavlovskiy battleship for himself, he couldn''t help but be moved to tears.
This was Russia''s most significant investmt in the navy in rect times, and it was currtly Russia''s guinely world''s strongest battleship.
"This is amazing! Such a beauty," Geral Makarov couldn''t keep his eyes off the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship since he first saw it.
Indeed, there was nothing more exciting for someone like Geral Makarov, who was deeply in love with the navy and warships, than seeing the powerful warships of his own country.
"Geral Makarov, would you like to go aboard and have a look?" Seeing that Geral Makarov truly loved the battleship, Minister Kt proposed with a smile.
"Of course, of course. Let''s go, Minister Kt, let''s see how beautiful this dreadnought is. Austrsia is truly an incredible country, and I apologize for my previous doubts," Geral Makarov nodded eagerly and candidly said.
"It''s normal, Geral Makarov. After all, it is a valuable asset worth several million pounds, so it''s natural to be cautious." Minister Kt said with a smile.
After all, before this, Austrsia had only exported a Brunswick-ss battleship to the ind nation.
As for the most powerful dreadnought, currtly only the United Kingdom, Germany, and Austrsia have the true capability to build them.
There is no need to mtion the United Kingdom and Germany, as they are currtly the two most powerful countries in the world, their abilities won''t raise any doubts.
Austrsia has be developing for a little over sev years, and it is a surprise and doubt that they suddly im to be able to keep up with the great powers in dreadnought developmt.
Smiling, Minister Kt apanied Geral Makarov onto the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship and personally introduced all the equipmt on the warship to the geral.
Naturally, the most attractive feature is the 83mm main gun on the Peter Pavlovskiy. Although the caliber of the gun is not yet equal to the British Dreadnought-ss battleship, this design is indeed the most advanced at prest.
Geral Makarov looked at the neatly installed 83mm main guns on the warship and nodded with satisfaction.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ev with just a 83mm main gun, its firepower already surpasses most of Russia''s battleships.
Not to mtion that the dreadnought-ss battleship also has excellt armor protection capabilities and advanced power systems using steam turbines and boilers.
"Minister Kt, wh can we start testing the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship?" Geral Makarov asked impatitly.
For an outstanding geral who has dedicated his life to the navy, he is already eager to see the true strgth of Russia''s new warship.
"If you are willing, we can start now," Minister Kt said with a smile.
The testing and sea trial of a warship is an extremely lgthy process, used to test the warship''s stability,bat capabilities, and the actual errors of the data on paper.
Since Geral Makarov is here, this test is naturally not a boring stability test.
Gerally, testing the speed and stability of a warship takes several months, so that the design and equipmt of the warship can be thoroughly tested for any issues.
This test mainly focuses on the maximum speed and firepower.
Apanying the Peter Pavlovskiy is another battleship from Russia Nation.
Although it is an old-fashioned battleship, it is currtly one of the main warships of the Russia Nation''s Pacific Squadron.
This time, it will apany the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship to truly experice the differce in speed betwe the two warships.
The maximum speed of Russia''s old-fashioned battleships is only 8 knots, while the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship can reach a maximum speed of knots. This differce may not seem significant, but in reality, it is immse.
This can be se from the momt the two warships set sail. The Peter Pavlovskiy took the lead from the start, outpacing the Russian old-fashioned battleship by one body lgth. After sailing for more than a minute, it ev increased the distance from the old-fashioned battleship by more than 0 meters.
As time passed, the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship has tak amanding lead, with the distance betwe the two warships ev exceeding one kilometer.
Keep in mind that the sailing time of the two warships did not exceed t minutes. This means that in t minutes, the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship haspletely crushed the speed of Russia''s old-fashioned battleships.
Looking through the telescope at the old warship in the distance, Geral Makarov nodded in satisfaction.
At this momt, Geral Makarov''s satisfaction with the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship had reached its peak, and he eagerly anticipated its true service.
After sailing for another half an hour, the Peter Pavlovskiy finally slowed down.
Here, the Peter Pavlovskiy was to undergo a firepower test, including the uracy and impact of the guns.
The advantages and disadvantages of the 83mm gunpared with the 305mm main gun are obvious. The 83mm main gun has a much higher firing rate than the 305mm main gun, which was the reason for Germans'' confidce.
However, this advantage is not so fridly to the Austrsian and Russian naval soldiers aboard the Peter Pavlovskiy battleship.
Since both the Russian and Austrsian naval soldiers were operating such a designed warship for the first time, they were unfamiliar with this kind of operation and needed more time to practice and be proficit.
