My Italian Chapter 293

"My Italian Deli (!

The riots in Borneo, especially in the Dutch possessions, were of no concern to Rome at all.

For the Roman government, the current domestic development is more concerning.

However, compared with the government, King Carlo has been a little different recently. He was going to wander around the country, no, he was on a tour.

In the Andosal Shipyard, located on the side of the port of Genoa, today the military and police gathered and secret agents were concentrated. The workers at the shipyard know without guessing that there must be a big person visiting today.

They guessed right, King Carlo I and Admiral Yagier, Minister of the Admiralty, came to inspect.

The Admiralty became Yagier, so what about Admiral Gorek?

There is a mistake that needs to be supported here. Former Admiral Gorek is not an admiral. Three days before his retirement, the old man who has worked for the Navy for most of his life finally became a marshal. Marshal Gorek, how could it sound much better than Admiral Gorek?

Of course, in addition to the fact that Gorek got the honor, the Navy actually benefited a lot, because before the Field Marshal and the Navy did not, this was a bit lacking in the Army for the Navy officers and soldiers.

Now both the navy and the army have marshals, so let's not say who. Although the navy is a retired marshal, he is also a marshal.

Well, let's put aside the honor aspect first and talk about something practical. In this year's military budget, the proportion of funds occupied by the navy has set a new record, reaching 41.4% of the total military expenditure. With such a high ratio, in addition to reducing the army's funds due to the army's layoffs, the Navy has not reduced the cost of the original reduction of personnel and tonnage due to the update of equipment.

And this time, Carlo and the new Admiral Yagier came to inspect the refitted battleship. It is said that it is a modification, in fact, it is to change the guns of the warship.

Didn't the rapid-fire guns be successfully developed before? Since there are new guns, the old naval guns should be replaced. Although this will cost a lot of money, it is still lower than the cost of newly built warships.

"Look, Your Majesty, this is the Brescia armored cruiser we are currently refitting. We are currently refitting the ship, and at the same time enhancing its structural strength."

Yagil pointed to a tall warship in the dock and introduced Carlo.

Carlo looked up and saw that the Brescia was full of tripods. After boarding the ship, the most striking thing was the two eye-catching large holes.

Admiral Yagier on the side pointed to this big hole and said. "Your Majesty, this was originally the installation location of the first-class main guns of the Brescia. Due to the emergence of new rapid-fire naval guns, the navy can only follow the pace of the times. The main guns currently ready to be replaced by the Brescia are two 42-mounted guns. A new 203mm naval gun from the Tabuto naval arsenal, currently…”

Admiral Yagier explained the selection of new naval guns in detail. In fact, the Navy is actually very resistant to replacing the two main patrol guns with 8 inches.

However, it will not work if you don't change it. The new naval guns are more powerful, have stronger recoil, and have a faster rate of fire. Of course, the tonnage of the new naval guns is heavier, which puts new requirements on the strength of warships.

The design department gave out that if the double assembly is replaced with a single tube, the caliber must be changed. In the end, the navy was still reluctant to double-install and could only choose to change the caliber, so the 203mm caliber became the only choice. This is a realistic compromise.

After Admiral Yagier finished speaking, Carlo looked at the battleship being refitted in front of him and said. "When will the modification be completed?"

"The refit should be completed within the year. The refit of the three Turin-class ships is relatively simple, because only the second-level main gun and other artillery need to be replaced, and the most important first-level main gun will not move. The main reason is that the modification of the two cruisers is relatively simple. Trouble, it will be replaced inside and out. In fact, according to our navy's idea, the cost of two Venice-class patrol guns should not be invested in the research and development of new cruisers. The cost of such modification is almost half of the cruiser. already."

Well, in the second half of Admiral Yagier's words, Carlo directly filtered it out. The Navy has always wanted to wear new patrols, from the former Gorek to the current Admiral Yagier. They've been running for it. But this is of no use, because there is no way the government will come up with the money.

In recent years, the government's goal is very clear. In the current situation where there is no external pressure in Italy, it will reduce military spending and use the money for debt repayment and domestic development. You must know that last year, because of the reduction of military spending, the government saved 150 million liras of expenses. Wouldn't it be nice to put this money into industry or develop a colony? How many things can it solve?

Therefore, taking advantage of the peaceful environment, it is even more difficult for the government to speak up.

Admiral Yagier also knew this, but no matter how difficult it was for him, the new Admiralty, he had to fight for it. Otherwise, after taking office, the navy did not achieve the results of the shot, wouldn't this embarrass myself? So taking advantage of the opportunity to walk with the king, he wanted to start directly from Carlo.

The navy will never forget the origin of the Venice-class patrol, if it weren't for the royal family's investment, how would they know that the patrol is good. This may make the king feel compassion again, and let the navy once again have free shipbuilding funds.

But Admiral Yagier, or the Navy's idea is very good, but they did not take into account the reality.

What was it then, what is it now. If you really want to give it to the Navy, what about the Army?

Besides, the money of the royal family is not blown by the wind, how can it be said that there is any.

So ignoring the meaning of Admiral Yagier's words, Carlo continued. "The refit time is as soon as possible, you still need to give the officers and soldiers time to re-adapt."

Carlo's words made Admiral Yagier smell a strange breath. In such a hurry, it means that the king needs to use the navy for something. As long as you can use the navy, that's a good thing.

Is it Borneo, or somewhere else?

Admiral Yagier's brain was running very fast at this time, and he was analyzing the king's purpose.

Carlo, who was completely unaware that his words had revealed the bottom line, glanced at the Admiralty Minister beside him.

"Admiral Yagier, your navy's ocean-going training needs to be strengthened next. The Italian navy can't mainly stay in the Mediterranean, but also go out and let others see it."

Admiral Yagier, who had no idea for a while, could only let go of his inner thoughts first. "Your Majesty, our navy already has a plan. We plan to communicate with the Argentine navy after the refit is completed."

Facing Admiral Yagier's words, Carlo was a little surprised. "Argentina?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Argentina."

That's right, Argentina and Italy have frequent exchanges at present. Who makes the two countries not only have naval ships from the same family, but Argentina is also the number one destination for Italian immigrants. That's right, in this era, Argentina, which is rich in land and rare earth, is simply the first choice for Italian immigrants.

Argentina also welcomes the arrival of Italian immigrants. Although the relationship between the two countries is not an alliance, it is also very close.

"Let's change to Borneo. The Italian Navy will go to Borneo for training first, and then go to Argentina next time."

As soon as Carlo spoke, he asked the navy to change places, which further strengthened Admiral Yagier's judgment that the navy's next task was to capture Dutch Borneo.

That's right, as the head of the navy, Admiral Yagier certainly knows the little actions of the current Borneo Governor Antonio. After all, the navy also has a small fleet in Borneo, so why not know what happened there?

As long as you know the goal, it's easy to do.

Admiral Yagier was already thinking in his heart that he could take advantage of this opportunity to contribute to the navy.
