In Varna, a city that has been ruled by Romania for nearly ten years, the population is not much higher than in Bulgaria.
However, Dolbo felt refreshed when he looked at Varna and walked a little gracefully. This was of course a good thing, because he was finally appointed to be responsible for the relocation of the Varna Shipyard. Of course, it was not to move the Varna Shipyard
Instead of moving away, Royal Wilhelm Shipyard will move in and merge with it to form the largest shipyard in Romania.
Since it is the largest shipyard, people need to be responsible for the basic dock and supporting construction facilities. The newly appointed director has not yet arrived, so the city government needs to contribute. As the deputy mayor of Varna, he
Of course, I am bound to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
In fact, Dolbo had met His Majesty Edel before and said a few words, but His Majesty had no impression of him. Who asked him to meet Edel, who was still a prince, in Ploiesti as the secretary of Karaturi?
Now you know who his backer is. There are people in the government who only need to make achievements by themselves, and then the credit will not go away. But if they make it, no one can help him.
The Varna Shipyard will be responsible for the construction work of the Romanian Navy, so it is very valued by the superiors. As long as I can make achievements, then I will not be unable to get the opportunity to take charge. For my own future, I am extremely enthusiastic about the work of the shipyard.
I almost planned to live and eat together at the shipyard.
So when he got up early this morning, he immediately rushed to the shipyard to check the progress.
The Varna Shipyard is located in the Port of Dorle, where the water depth is about 10-11m, which is completely suitable for the entry and exit of giant ships. And there is news that the Navy plans to use the Port of Varna as the main base for berthing ships. Because the Port of Constanta is now
There are more and more civilian ships coming and going, and it is becoming less and less suitable as a military port. As for Odessa, this port has the same problem as Constanta. It also bears the transportation of a large number of civilian ships, and it is also unsuitable.
Since Varna is now separated from Bulgaria, the port transportation of its goods will certainly not choose to go through Varna. They will all go through the Burgas Port within its territory. Therefore, Varna, which has a good port environment, has no problem using it as a major military port. And
When he thought of the massive popularity brought by the presence of naval ships, Dorbo felt that there was hope for development here. However, it was a pity that he was not the one in charge at the moment. As a deputy, it was still very difficult to squeeze out the top, even with the help of his benefactor.
"How is the progress of the shipyard now?"
As soon as he entered the door, Dolbo asked the person in charge of the shipyard without taking a sip of water.
The person he asked about was Bo Derek, a German engineer and a famous shipyard designer in Germany.
Bo Derek calmly flipped through his notebook and said: "Of the three main docks, Dock No. 1 is nearing completion and other equipment is currently being installed; while the excavation work for Dock No. 2 has been going on for 61 days.
%;, and because of the higher requirements of Dock No. 3, the current progress is only 33%. If you want to speed up the progress, it is best to send some more engineering equipment."
Listening to Bo Derek's words, Dolbo couldn't help but smile bitterly. He still had to find engineering equipment. I wonder if this shipyard has already concentrated 80% of Varna's engineering equipment?
"Sorry, we only have these devices at the moment and it is impossible to add more."
After being rejected by Dolbo, Bo Derek could only shrug and said: "Sorry, Mr. Deputy Mayor, we can only implement it according to this schedule. You must know that docks one to three are really too big, especially
The No. 3 dock, a 60,000-ton shipyard, can fully build ocean-going ships. However, the No. 4 to No. 8 docks can be built very quickly."
Listening to Bo Derek's words, Dolbo, who is responsible for supervising the shipyard, seems to have no other solution. Currently, Varna Shipyard has built eight shipyards, ranging from 5,000 tons to 60,000 tons. Faced with the construction of such a
There are multiple shipyards. In fact, Dorbo doesn't know its purpose. But who ordered the construction of this shipyard from above? He can only be responsible for the execution.
But even if he had no other way to satisfy Bo Derek, the necessary urging was still necessary.
"Mr. Bodrick, it is best to speed up the progress of the shipyard at present. This will be good for me and you."
"I know, Mr. Vice Mayor. But there are only so many workers at present, and the most important machinery and equipment are not enough, so I have no choice. You know, if I can finish the job one day ahead of schedule, I can earn an extra 500 lei, but now it's already
fastest."
Hearing Bo Derek's words, Dolbo was a little discouraged. It seemed that his dream of achieving outstanding results was somewhat ruined. It was all the fault of the people in the Navy. They kept urging the shipyard to be completed as soon as possible and made themselves exhausted. I don't know.
What are these navies so anxious about?
If they hear Dolbo's accusations, the navy officers will probably laugh or cry. Isn't this urgent? His Majesty promised to increase the navy's shipbuilding funds starting next year. From the original less than 2 million lei, it will directly increase to 20 million lei.
This is the largest funding increase in the history of the Navy.
This finally jumped from building torpedo boats of two to three hundred tons to building cruisers of three to four thousand tons. Of course they hope that this shipyard will be completed as soon as possible. Not only that, they have also selected the construction drawings. The genius chief designer
Rams, a cruiser designed for them based on the conditions of the Black Sea.
This cruiser, currently tentatively named code-named Q-type, has a total length of 134 meters, a waterline length of 131 meters, a total width of 12.9 meters, and an average draft of about 5.6 meters.
Displacement: about 4600 tons (standard), more than 5400 tons (full load).
Main weapons: 8 150mm 45x caliber main guns (double array), the turret is open at the rear; 4 500mm torpedo launch tubes.
Anti-aircraft guns: 4 x 40mm 45-caliber anti-aircraft guns (double array).
Protection: The thickness of the main armor belt is 55 mm amidships, and is gradually reduced to 25 mm at the bow and stern; the thickness of the horizontal deck armor is 55 mm (thickest part), and non-vital parts are unarmored.
The armor thickness of the command tower is 90 mm; the armor of the main turret panel is 60 mm.
Power: 12 naval boilers, two steam turbines, dual-shaft propulsion. Output power is 31,000 horsepower.
Speed: 28 knots (design value).
Members: 465 (wartime establishment increased by approximately 110 on this basis).
It can be said that when this ship is completed, it will become the main cruiser of the Romanian Navy. Whether it is escorting future Romanian battleships or performing independent missions, it can compete with other warships of the same tonnage. Moreover, this ship is more powerful than the most powerful ship in the navy.
The cruiser "Count Dazila" is even faster, and its armor is also much stronger.
It is also because the paper design of this ship is so good that the navy does not want to wait any longer. This is a hardship for Deputy Mayor Dolbo. He can only lead people to urge the workers to construct, but the progress is rapid.
