Chapter 239 Russian battleships
How to deal with such a dominant, the Queen has her own method. Basically, as long as she maintains her strength at this stage, it is difficult for her to really leave the Elizabethan Society. Historically, Britain lost control of those overseas dominants, mainly due to the huge consumption of national strength in World War II and the collapse of Britain by the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II.
This world is not a historical situation. In this world, British ship girls are very powerful in fairness. Gao Fatty also has four British ship girls. Now Gao Fatty's strength has grown to the point where he can become a dominant. This is mainly because Gao Fatty's two SSS-class historical warships were not brought by British warships. As long as Gao Fatty's not built another non-British SSS-class historical warship in a short time, there will be no big reversal. Gao Fatty is still in the Elizabeth Association. According to historical experience, there is no problem that the Queen controls such a Gao Fatty. Of course, Gao Fatty himself does not have so many ideas.
In this situation, Veneto and Gangut, as well as the Empire, Colorado, Argentina, and Ganarias are all very satisfied. The one who is most satisfied with is Colorado, because Colorado knows that Veneto, Empire, Gangut, Ganarias, and Argentina are not members of the Elizabeth Society. It is for the time being, but it is definitely not in the future. She plans to stay in the Elizabeth Society for a long time. Such a dominant may be her in Colorado in the future, which is definitely a good opportunity for her.
The four British ship girls of Fatty Gao were also very satisfied with this. The four British ship girls also knew that the original balance was broken with the emergence of Gangut, especially after understanding Gangut. Venetto could accept the previous situation because of the Italian ship girls, but Gangut was not good. It was very good to design such a model for Gangut and the powerful Gao Fatty Gao.
After dealing with these things, Gangut also calmed down. Gangut had no level now, and there was no battle worth fighting at present, so Gangut stayed on the new island of Gao Fatty, followed Gao Fatty Venetto to study the problems of the empire. Of course, Gangut mainly studied. She lacked experience in this area, both in history and in this world.
In history, the Soviet Union wanted to build a main ship more than once, but for various reasons, the Gangut-class battleship became the only main ship owned by the Soviet Union. He had no experience in history and was very curious about the current situation of the empire. In fact, Gangut also thought of other aspects through the empire, because in history, the Soviet Union's failure to build a main ship was diverse.
In history, there were problems with strength for a long time after the establishment of the Soviet Union. When the great development of the Yuanqi industry finally recovered, the Soviet Union proposed its own main ship plan, which was the Soviet-class battleship. Due to the Soviet-level problems, the Soviet-class battleships made the progress of the Soviet-class battleships slow. When the Soviet-German War broke out, the Soviet-class battleships were already on the ship platform but could not be launched. Because of the huge cost and the poor fighting on the front line, the Soviet Union stopped the development of the Soviet-class battleships.
After the war, the Soviet Union proposed a new and ambitious shipbuilding plan. Just as this shipbuilding plan was successfully advanced, Stalin passed away. The successor Khrushchev made considerable adjustments to the Soviet Navy's strategy. The originally ambitious shipbuilding plan was cancelled, and the Soviet Union became the only military power in the world that had never built a main ship.
What Gangut thought of was the Soviet-class battleships in history. The Soviet Union's post-war shipbuilding plan was unrealistic, because most of them were not really built and the main reason why the Soviet-class battleships were not completed was the outbreak of war. Although the progress of the Soviet-class battleships in history was slow, it was not impossible to complete. The turrets of the Soviet-class battleships were also completed. Some of these completed turrets were used in the fortresses in Leningrad and played a significant role in the defense of Leningrad.
Gangut felt that the Empire could build Soviet-class battleships, and of course Gangut thought that it would be best for her three sisters to build them. This is something Gao Fatty. Gao Fatty knew about Gangut's battleships, and also knew that there were three battleships in the Soviet Union in history, but there were four of Gangut's battleships, which Gao Fatty didn't know. Of course, Gao Fatty didn't know about Gangut's battleships.
The Gangut-class battleship is somewhat similar to the Colorado-class battleship. Although it is called the Gangut-class, the second ship Sevastopol actually served earlier than the Gangut. This is very similar to the relationship between Colorado and Maryland. The four Ganguts were controlled by the Soviet Union during the subsequent Russian changes, but the Fourth ship Poltawa suffered a serious fire. After the Soviet Civil War, Poltawa found that it was not suitable for repair and was dismantled. This is why Gao Fatty felt that there were only three Ganguts.
Of course, Gao Fatty is not unaware that the battleships completed by Russia in history are not the level of Gangut. The Gangut-class battleship is the first type of dreadnought built by Russia. In history, Russia built two models of dreadnought. There are subsequent ships in history. In order to deal with the threat from Turkey, Russia built another level of Queen Maria-class battleship almost at the same time as Gangut. This level of battleship can basically be regarded as a simple modified version of the Gangut-class battleship.
The Queen Maria-class battleships completed three. These three were not as lucky as the Gangut-class battleships in the Soviet Civil War. The first ship of these three battleships capsized and sunk due to an accident during World War I. Later, the Soviet Union salvaged Queen Maria. Because it was capsized and sunk, the four turrets were preserved intact. Later, it was used by the Soviet Union on the fortress of Sevastopol. After the Queen Maria was salvaged, the second ship, Emperor Catherine, sank in the civil war. Later, during the salvage, the ammunition depot exploded and lost its salvage value. The third ship, Tsar Alexander III, was quite special. During the Soviet Civil War, it was seized by the British and French coalition forces and then handed over to Belarus. When Belarus failed, the battleship went to Tunisia controlled by France and was later sold and dismantled.
Of course, the fame of Queen Maria-class battleships is far less than that of Gangut. After all, these three battleships have been in service for a short time and have no sense of existence. It is natural that Gangut has been in service for a long time and has participated in the entire World War II. The lineup of these two levels of seven main battleships is quite good in this world.
