My Italian

, the fastest update of my latest chapter of Yidaili!

The spring of 1887 was still a season of recovery, and the warm weather allowed the Italians to have a very good New Year.

Well, there is no winter in the warm Yaping Peninsula, the lowest is 3-10 degrees Celsius, which is not cold at all.

However, Italy is still entering a new year, and the new year has a new atmosphere. As a new atmosphere for the navy, three new battleships have laid keels in the Tunisian Naval Shipyard and Andosal Shipyard and started construction work. .

The new battleship is tentatively designated as the internal number of H, and the specific ship number needs to be determined internally by the Navy. However, this class of warships can be regarded as a huge breakthrough in the history of battleships. 4 356 mm 35 times the primary main gun, 12 152 mm secondary main gun, to build its unparalleled firepower.

Powered by two 4-cylinder vertical triple-expansion steam engines, it has a maximum output of 17,000 horsepower, which allows it to have a maximum speed of 18.6 knots. At the same time, the huge coal-fired reserve design allows it to have a huge range of 4520 nautical miles/12 knots.

Coupled with the main armor constructed of nickel-chromium steel with a maximum size of 400 mm, it reaches a standard displacement of 14,900 tons and is fully loaded with a huge steel beast of 16,080 tons.

Such a sea beast that can resist, fight and run can be said to be the existence that crushes the audience. Of course, the excellent performance also needs the backing of funds. The cost of 26.2 million liras is the most expensive warship currently under construction in the world.

These three warships also emptied the pockets of the navy, but Admiral Gorek, as the Minister of the Admiralty, was very satisfied with this, because this is the pride of the Italian Navy. He would come to the two major shipyards every few days to see the construction of these three steel giants, which made the shipbuilders of the two shipyards familiar with him.

It needs to be said here that the order for the three new warships this time will be handled by the Tunisian Naval Shipyard for one and the Andosal Shipyard for two.

As a more technologically advanced Venetian naval shipyard, build only one?

Yes, that's right, that's what it looks like!

So won't the Venice Naval Shipyard make a fuss?

It would have been noisy at other times, but at this time the Venice Naval Shipyard could only suffer silently, because they dug Vittorio Cuniberti, the genius designer of the Andosal Shipyard, to their shipyard. Naturally, the Venetian Shipyard, who was justified, wouldn't say anything at this time, but instead was extremely angry at the Andosal Shipyard.

You must know that when Vittorio Cuniberti told Brin that he was going to the Venice shipyard, Brin was so angry that he picked up his pistol and was about to fight Bran who was digging his own corner.

Of course, this incident is also an earth-shattering event for Italian ship designers. And after Vittorio Cuniberti went to the Venice shipyard, other shipyards have paid close attention to their own designers, especially young and talented designers, and they are the focus of care.

And these are not all things about the Navy. Another thing is that the unremarkable Marine Corps has been organized into a brigade. At that time, it was only barely visible, but under the unknown pressure, the Navy began to impatiently prepare for the second The preparations for the brigade are expected to start in the second half of the year, and then only some auxiliary units such as artillery, engineers, logistics, and cavalry need to be added, then a division's Marine Corps can be said to have begun to take shape.

Of course, this is a matter of the next two years. For the Navy, new warships are still the top priority for the Navy. Of course, in addition to the navy, Italy also has the army. Last year, the army was most concerned about the development of new-style rifles. Of course, in addition to rifles, after the introduction of artillery technology from Krupp, the army still needs to wait for new-style artillery. Artillery and rifles, two weapons related to the army's combat effectiveness, are both under development.

Of course, in addition to the navy and army, the Italian industry is also developing very well. From the demonstration role of eating crabs first, the current application of electricity in Italy is very tight, because there are too many factories that want to switch to electricity, which makes the State Grid Corporation have to make two expansion plans within a year. The most exaggerated one is from Milan. At present, Milan's thermal power plant has proposed three expansion plans. Every time it is more aggressive, this is all caused by the lack of electricity.

Of course, the lack of electricity can also be seen, the role of electricity in promoting the industry.

In addition, at the end of the year, it was the first time that Italy's imports of industrial products from Germany showed a negative growth. This is a miracle!

You must know that since Italy and Germany opened their markets to each other, the domestic industry in Italy has been losing ground. If Carlo then opened up the markets in the Far East and Southeast Asia to let him breathe a sigh of relief, Italian industrial products would hardly have turned around.

Of course, as Italy begins to use electricity on a large scale, other countries will not turn a blind eye, and will inevitably follow, and this time will also be a test for Italian industry.

Of course, if other European countries want to launch electricity, they must use the alternating current system developed by Tesla. Although there is still direct current to choose from, who will repair a power station every one kilometer? The cost is too high.

Of course, as the helm of Italy, Carlo also supports the purchase of AC motors and generator sets from other countries. Because under the free economic model, basically as long as the weapons are not sold.

Italy needs various external equipment and facilities more than other countries. If Italy does not sell AC equipment, then other countries can follow suit and also do not sell the equipment that Italy needs, which will hurt Italy even more.

Moreover, although the research and development of the alternating current system is difficult, UU reading www.uukanshu. com but the finished product will be seen by others. Although it has applied for a patent, if Italy sets up obstacles on its own, it can't blame others for not following the rules.

No one between countries is a fool. If you can do the first year of junior high, I can do the fifteenth. If there are many rules that do not have the strength to convince all parties, it is best not to think carefully, which will make the most injured person become yourself. As the weakest among the great powers, Italy, of course, is the beneficiary who needs to maintain this rule.

In addition, the 12-hour shift system has quietly emerged in various factories that use electricity. Workers are divided into two shifts, taking turns to work.

The inventor of this system came from Palermo's Bonick, and he became famous in the country. Some people called him a very creative manager, and some people thought it was not worth mentioning. Of course, as a qualified capitalist, the twelve-hour shift system is gradually spreading in Italian factories. Of course, this is one of the important reasons for the shortage of electricity in Italy.

Of course, in addition to the twelve-hour shift system, there are also three-shift systems of eight hours. However, such factories are basically found in companies such as Italy's National Grid Corporation, Westinghouse Electric Company, and other companies invested by the government or Carlos. Relatively speaking, its number is much less.

Of course, in any case, the industrialization of Italy is accelerating.
