Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

The advent of Spanish warships can be said to have had a very serious impact on the navies of European countries.

Anglo-French envoys had not yet come to Spain, but the Russian and Italian navies had exploded.

Unlike the Britons who have a big family, the Peter the Great and Kaou Dulio are all warships with a displacement of over 10,000 tons, and now they are all just launched and have not yet been put into service, they have been declared outdated.

Anyone would find this unbearable. Italy, which has no crisis for the time being, is better. The Russians, who have always been committed to the hegemony of the European continent, are really unbearable.

The attitudes of the British and the Spanish in the Near East were inclined towards the Ottomans. The Russian navy had no chance of winning, and now it was further declared out of date, which made Alexander II, who was in power alone, angry.

Crabbie, can you tell me whether the Navy has a policy for dealing with the 'Castile' class warships?

Alexander II looked at the uneasy Admiralty Minister, he did not anger the veteran minister who had been conscientious for decades. It is estimated that the British did not expect the Spanish battleship this time.

There is no His Majesty yet, but we are already stepping up the design of comparable warships to deal with the naval pressure of Britain and Spain.

To be honest with Krabi, the Russian Navy was indeed not adequately prepared for this time.

At present, my country's newly launched 'Peter the Great' class has fallen behind in performance. In order to avoid the situation of falling behind in service, I suggest suspending all shipbuilding plans.

Warships all over the world are now facing this situation. The Spanish navy is indeed insufficient for large-scale shipbuilding, but it does not mean that countries with large-scale shipbuilding capabilities will not follow up quickly.

Then let the Admiralty come up with a new plan to hire a group of designers from the Netherlands to expand our research team.

Alexander II closed his eyes and said solemnly that the relationship between the Netherlands and Russia has always been very good. It just so happened that the Dutch people used to be called sea coachmen before, and the country still has a group of excellent designers.

Yes, Your Majesty, but what I want to say is. If our country wants to design a new type of warship, the data must not be lower than the Spanish 'Castile class', otherwise we still have the possibility of falling behind.

If the design and construction are only started now, the progress must be several years behind the Spaniards, and the only way to do this is to seek a bigger breakthrough, which requires taking risks.

Go! Alexander II did not answer this question directly, but waved his hand lonely.

The Russians have been seeking a breakthrough in the navy, but they have never been able to truly break through the suppression of Britain and France.

......

In Madrid, Spain, Alfonso, who came back after attending the launching ceremony, was also in the reception hall of the Royal Palace of Madrid at this time to meet Harrison, the British ambassador who had recently left the country.

Your Majesty, the five warships that your country has recently served have really shocked our country. I wonder if your country has any intention to sell this technology. The British Empire will show enough sincerity.

Harrison is unequivocal, knowing that the impossible needs to be said at the beginning, because his purpose is really not here.

Your Excellency the ambassador is joking. Is this what your government means? It doesn't look like Prime Minister Disraeli would say something.

Alfonso smiled awkwardly and directly signaled Harrison to hurry back to his real purpose.

As an ally, in terms of our ability, if your country's sincerity can impress us, our country will definitely come forward.

Actually, our country hopes that His Majesty Alfonso can order your navy to sail in the Black Sea to deter the Russians. We hope that your country can dispatch at least three of the latest 'Castile class'.

Harrison also spoke out about the British proposal. The British wanted to know the practicality of this warship. Under close observation,

Being able to get into the water earlier than any other country belongs to the pre-dreadnoughts of the British.

Although there is no previous fearless statement, the unique design of the 'Castile class' still makes many European professionals believe that this is a watershed in the new era of the navy.

Strictly speaking, the former Dreadnought is just a mature ironclad ship. Compared with the ironclad ships with iron-clad barrels, the former Dreadnought uses all steel, smokeless powder, armor-piercing projectiles and high freeboard applications, so that the 'Castile class' can be From any angle, it is an epoch-making warship.

At present, the Spanish Navy cannot build a dreadnought warship, and the most important armored steel technology is not up to the standard.

Your Excellency, the soldiers of our country's five new warships are still at the stage of being familiar with warships and do not have proficient combat capabilities. I think sending them out to perform tasks at this time will not help at all.

The navy on the five battleships has indeed just contacted the battleship not long ago, and it is impossible to form combat power in a short period of time.

Unless the British Navy can provide us with a group of naval instructors, maybe we can take part in this operation against the Russians.

This is the condition proposed by Alfonso. The Spanish love of sailing makes the navy not short of sailors and people who yearn for the navy. Although the warships have the latest, many tactical concepts are still unable to compare with the British Empire.

It just so happened that Alfonso didn't know anything about tactics, so he could only let the Navy absorb the experience of the British and develop something of its own.

If you just want the assistance of naval officers, then we can promise you, Your Majesty Alfonso.

Harrison promised that the most important thing in the British Empire was naval officers.

But we also have one condition. In addition to participating in deterrence activities against Russia, we also want to observe your country's 'Castilian-class' closely. I wonder if your country can agree.

This is the condition of the British. It is estimated that there will be countless British naval designers participating in this observation activity. It can be said that the purpose is unabashedly stated.

But Alfonso knew that even if he handed the blueprints to the British, they wouldn't be able to make them now.

The former dreadnoughts had an important necessities, and that was the cannons that used smokeless powder, which far surpassed black powder in terms of power and other aspects.

The research difficulty of smokeless gunpowder, even the analysis of its components, cannot be done in a few years according to the level of science and technology in this era.

This is also why Spain has no military weapons with any technical content, and can be the only one in the world, as strong as the Mark Qin machine gun. In the original history, it was only after the advent of smokeless gunpowder that it really showed its combat effectiveness.

Okay, there is one small request.

Your Majesty, please speak! Harrison bowed slightly.

I hope that our merchant ships can be protected by your country on the eastern route through your country, and can ask for the help of British warships in times of crisis. In exchange, British ships will also be protected by Spanish warships in Spanish territorial waters.

Spain, which has officially traded with our big country, can save a lot of unnecessary trouble if it can be protected by the British on the eastern route, which is not difficult for the British navy.

It is natural, Your Majesty, the Spaniards are our friends, and it is right for us to help our friends!

Harrison also felt that it was not difficult, and even thought that the Spaniards were surprisingly generous before realizing the small thoughts of the Spaniards.
