My Italian

The port of Taranto is currently the main berthing place of the Italian Navy, and the main ships of the Italian Navy will moor here.

From the five Dorios and their improvements to the state-of-the-art Turin class, here's a look at the evolution of the Italian Navy. Of course, the three Turin-class ships and the two Venice-class ships were not always visible at all times. If you were two or three months earlier, they were still undergoing renovations in the dock, and you wouldn't be able to see them at all.

Of course, you can't see it if you want to see it now, because the masts of these five ships are all surrounded. Of course, if you look closely, you can find that it is not only these five battleships that are surrounded, but many other battleships also have masts surrounded.

As for what's going on inside, of course, as an outsider, I don't know, but Colonel Gomes, the captain of the Venice, definitely knows what it is.

Colonel Gomes, yes, Colonel, the year after the end of the Austrian War, Gomes was promoted to Colonel. It can be said that it took Gomes less than ten years to go from a low-level lieutenant all the way to a high-ranking colonel in the navy.

It can be said that Gomes' promotion path in the Navy can be described by taking an elevator. After all, the promotion of most officers in the Navy can be described as thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

But who made Gomes hang up at the top of the Navy? As an excellent naval officer, Gomes is well-deserved. There are only a handful of people in the navy who are similar in age to Gomes and more excellent. Among them, Colonel Lefer, who is his friend, is undoubtedly the most dazzling one.

In the promotion of rank, he is faster than Gomes, and he can know it through his position as the captain of the battleship Turin. But this is also impossible, who made Lefer the king's adjutant, and his record is better than others.

It's not that he is on his own battleship, looking at the newly renovated communication room in front of him, listening to the explanation of the communication officer who has just finished training, and the stupid and thick equipment in front of him.

"Captain, this is a transceiver, this is a code translator, we can receive or send information through the transceiver, and have heard the code translator translate the code..."

After listening to the communications officer, Colonel Gomes asked a key question. "How many nautical miles can telegrams be received?"

Yes, being a good naval officer, Colonel Gomes is most interested in communication distance. Because communications are so important to the Navy, it touches every aspect of the Navy.

To give the simplest example of nighttime communication, there is no radio. The Navy’s nighttime communication is better than nothing. It basically relies on communication ships. Generally, except for emergencies, the Navy rarely uses communication ships at night because it is not safe. With radio, naval communications are much better. And this is only for night communication, if it involves all aspects such as command and reconnaissance, there will be more.

Especially in terms of command, the current naval command of various countries basically relies on semaphores and lights, which can only convey simple information, and are greatly disturbed, and the delay is very serious. This is very backward in a battlefield where every second counts, and of course this is in the case of radio communication. So radio is very important, which will also change the weapon of battlefield command.

As the commander, Colonel Gomes needs to understand this wireless telegram before making reasonable arrangements.

"The device can guarantee a communication distance of up to 50 nautical miles in good weather. As for the worst thunderstorm weather, it is only 20 nautical miles away."

Hearing what the communications officer said, Colonel Gomes said he already knew. Although this distance is simply garbage that should be thrown into the sea for future generations. But for now, it's simply high-tech.

So Colonel Gomes was not dissatisfied, but extremely satisfied. Of course, it's not just him, the navy is also very satisfied with this, or else they wouldn't have purchased 20 silly and big radios from the Marconi Telegraph Company to install on the warship.

That's right, this Marconi Telegraph Company is the Marconi of the young genius Galilmore Marconi.

After the successful invention of the radio, Marconi, with the help of his teacher Tesla, continued to invest money to improve the radio, and strive to make its communication distance longer.

Of course, in view of the current technology and material limitations, if you want to increase the communication distance, you can only exert force in the direction of high power. Therefore, the current Marconi Telegraph Company produces are stupid and thick, one is bigger than the other, and it is far from the small and small in the film and television. The telegraph was still missing.

At present, the Marconi Telegraph Company has just opened. Due to confidentiality reasons, Marconi has been improving the radio before. After the initial practicality, the telegraph company named after him also opened.

With the equipment of the Navy, it is believed that Marconi Telegraph Company will receive other orders soon. As long as it is equipped, it will not be kept secret for too long, which is also facilitating the technological expansion of Marconi Telegraph Company.

Of course, in this newly opened company, Marconi has a 15% stake in technology. Of course, this alone is not enough. Unlike Tesla, who was impoverished at the time, Marconi's family was very good, and he himself had business acumen. In addition, Carlo wanted to win over Marconi, so Marconi had a good family. Nijia paid another sum of money for him to take a 30% stake in the telegraph company.

We can come to an end about the Marconi Telegraph Company. For Colonel Gomes, after learning about the role of wireless telegraphy, he immediately returned to his residence and prepared to write an article on the role of radio in cruise formations. Published in Navy Weekly. While he also knew that after the mass installation of radios in warships, there would be a ton of articles like this, but it was also a way to gain fame, and he had no reason to give up.

And it is indeed a good way to want naval colleagues to know more about themselves.

After all, the next level is the general level, and if a school-level officer wants to become a general, he still needs to be somewhat famous.

Just when he returned to the residence and was about to start, he did not expect a friend to visit.

"Gomes, I knew you were there."

The person who came with enthusiasm was Leifer, and I saw him coming to Gomes with a familiar face.

"Yo, this is about to write an article about radio applications."

Seeing a friend, Gomes put down his pen. "Yeah, if I don't work hard, I'll be thrown away by you again. It would be nice to have been an adjutant."

"Don't be so stingy, didn't I just get promoted two years earlier than you, and now we are already on the same level. Don't worry, I will command the battleship formation in the future, and you will command the cruiser formation. We have a combination of swords and let everyone know our sharp."

The conversation between the two was also cold, not afraid to say anything. This is also the reason why the two become friends. Sometimes it is really important to cherish each other.

"By the way, are you coming to me this time to help me correct my article?"

"What are you thinking~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I'm here to tell you that I have a mission."

As soon as he heard that there was a task, Gomes came to his senses. "Is it the Dutchman's task?"

Regarding the tasks mentioned by Gomes, the Navy has had a briefing before, and the captains of the battleships who need to be transferred have received some hints.

Facing Gomes' words, Leifer nodded in agreement.

Now Gomes is even happier. "When to set off?"

"We will set off in ten days. We will go to East Africa to approach the First Division of Wei first, and then go directly to Pontianak."

"Look, what else can you say, you know the news before us."

Facing his friend's joking accusation, Leifer smiled. "Even if I don't say it, I will inform everyone tomorrow."

"Well, it's not that you don't know, and I'm not really complaining. I hope the Dutch will be interested this time. Otherwise, it's just to show the training results of my Venice for so many years."
