Although it has been promised to add two armored cruisers to the navy, it is impossible to negotiate the specific construction now.
Apart from anything else, the construction cost of two armored cruisers is at least 20 million lire, and Carlo needs to wait for part of it. In addition, Carlo also has some ideas for building an armored cruiser, and it will have to wait until he communicates with the designers.
Let them know what they think.
Of course, some preliminary preparations still need to be made, but Admiral Gorek will take over these tasks, but don't forget that these two ships were built for the Italian Navy, and he will definitely be more anxious than Carlo.
In fact, Carlo has already had preliminary ideas about these two Italian first armored cruisers, because there is no other choice. The Garibaldi-class armored cruiser is very good, equipped with thousands of pieces of equipment on a ship of more than 8,000 tons.
It is equipped with tons of equipment for patrolling, and the speed is not slow. It can be said to be a classic.
Of course, Italy can't build the Garibaldi class now. Not only the power system is different, but also there are no rapid-fire cannons. This is a bit of a headache, but I believe there is a way to solve it. We can't build a complete version.
, a shrunken version is also fine, wait until Carlo has a chat with the navy designer.
General Saraguet, who was the Minister of War, did not know about Carlo's intention to sponsor the navy. After he hurriedly returned to the War Ministry, he immediately gathered people to prepare for a sudden attack on the red shirt troops who arrived in Rome.
So when the excited former Red Shirt Army members arrived in Rome, they were immediately dragged to the military camp before they had a chance to see the capital.
Ciampino Military Camp is located 20 kilometers south of Rome. This military camp is stationed with a regiment of Italian troops. However, today, a team that is different from the blue Italian military uniforms appears in the military camp. Its bright red color is eye-catching.
The officers and soldiers in the military camp felt a little dazzled.
Yes, these are the officers and soldiers of the future Third Guards Regiment, but their condition is not good. Everyone is sweating profusely and panting.
No way, anyone who runs from the port to Ciampino without being out of breath will be given a thumbs up and said, "Good man."
The distance between the two reached 40 kilometers, and it took them a long time to reach it.
"Now prepare to assemble and count the number of people."
The officer leading the team immediately began to prepare the team after they rested for a while.
"Cosenz, these officers really don't give people a chance to rest."
"Chowdhury, stop talking and get ready to gather."
The full name of the man named Cosenz is Haldan Cosenz. Yes, he is the son of the old Cosenz, and the other man named Choudhury is his good friend. The two of them met in Garibaldi and Bale
Mo joined the team when he was a red shirt. With their respective abilities, the two served as temporary squad leaders.
After being recruited by Carlo, their duties were still not relieved. Before the two of them could think about their future in Rome, after getting off the ship, they were asked to lead a team and run to Ciampino. According to these nostril reading officers,
Rookies like them don't know how to fight, so they don't need to be taught how to run.
So after they got off the ship and had a meal, they immediately started running away. Cosentz had to admit that these officers who looked at people with their nostrils were really outstanding. These officers kept following their footsteps and running with them.
When they were still embarrassed and didn't even want to say anything, these officers could still jeer at them.
And there are some things like: You people can also be called red shirts. I think Lord Garibaldi can't find anyone. At your speed, my grandma can run faster than you. If you
My soldiers, I will die of shame.
These sarcastic words made many people angry. In order not to be looked down upon by these officers, they gritted their teeth and ran all the way to Ciampino.
When the officers shouted to assemble, these former Red Shirt Army personnel immediately gathered into a queue very quickly. They had trained a lot in Palermo so they were able to cope with this situation.
However, after they were assembled, the officers did not give them any instructions. Instead, they asked them to continue waiting. But soon they knew why. They saw stragglers from the original Red Shirt Army coming one after another. It was obvious that these officers were there.
Let them wait for the stragglers.
The sun in June made people feel very uncomfortable, but these officers stood with them, so no one wanted to complain and they just gritted their teeth and persisted.
As for the stragglers, they also let them go and let them automatically join the queue. Only the officers looked at their watches from time to time, as if waiting for something.
About half an hour later, the officer leading the team spoke. "No need to wait, report the count now."
"one"
"two"
"three"
"..."
The number of people counted remained at 1,417.
And at this time someone ran in again.
"Stop, you are eliminated."
Facing the officer's merciless words, the sweaty former red-shirted member looked helplessly at him.
"I said you were eliminated, can't you hear what I said?"
The officer loudly announced that he had been eliminated, which caused a commotion in the team. Many people knew this person. He was the son of a cook in Palermo, his name was Ada Barry, and he was a kind-hearted little fat man.
Many people are very angry when faced with this situation and want to ask why.
But there are people who move faster than them.
"Report, I have a question."
Someone in the team spoke loudly, it was Haldane Cosentz, and this fat little man named Ada Barry was a member of his team.
An officer immediately came to him, stared at him and asked, "Tell me, what's the problem?"
"Why was he eliminated?"
"Because he timed out."
"As far as I know, the army has clear time regulations for long-distance emergency marches. But this time has not reached this time at all."
Cosentz's words caused a commotion in the team. If the officers could not give a reason, then a storm of resistance might be coming.
The officer leading the team obviously knew this, and he ordered loudly, "Stand still, don't move."
When the queue gradually subsided, he walked up to Cosentz. "Tell me your name."
The officer's words caused a flash of worry in the eyes of many people.
But Cosentz was not afraid at all. He replied loudly. "My name is Haldane Cosentz, sir."
The leading officer immediately said loudly in his ear. "Very good, I will remember you. Don't you want to know why? I will tell you now. Because what I implement is not the uniform standard in the military, but ours."
The standard of the Guards. The whole distance is 43 kilometers. Even the new recruits of our Guards are supposed to complete the run within 5 hours, and we also need to carry weapons and ammunition. If you are asked to run empty-handed, it will take more than five hours. This is
Soldiers should not appear in our Guards. Now do you understand? Answer me."
"Understood, sir."
The words of the officer leading the team calmed down all the dissatisfaction of the team. But Cosentz could only say sorry to the little fat man in his heart, I can't help you.
"Do you have any questions now?"
"No more, sir."
The leading officer immediately walked in front of everyone, looked at them and continued. "My name is Stefan Cesar. All new recruits of the Guards will be trained by me. In addition, I have a nickname called Hell Instructor. I hope
You like my nickname."
After he finished speaking, he smiled like a rookie, which made many people shudder inwardly. It seemed that some of them suffered from it.
