Ch-11
February 6th, 1922
On the Coast of the Sea of Japan, just across from the Sakhalin Island an artificial cavern was abuzz with work as men were on the first of the new class of Submarine that were to patrol the Sea of Japan.
That's is where we find the Czarina, the artificial cave was abuzz over the past week with her visit being announced. So triple and quadruple checks were being done as she was guided into the construction are where U-1 was ready to be deployed.
Guiding her and her personal guard is Olena Volodymyrivna the head engineer on the The Class S group of submarines, a Ukrainian woman that is built more like a brick house than a person as her previous profession was in steel work she fled her home after the revolution when the Soviet began crackdown on anything they viewed as anti communist.

Olena-"Now here we have the construction bay, please mind your step and keep away from the vessel.
Now I'm sure you know this your majesty, but this is U-1 the first Submarine being built entirely by imperial knowledge and steel. While there are a great many different variations of submarine, this vessel and two through 10 will be the convoy raiding and search and destroy missions. Other variants are being researched at the base but mostly on paper currently.
Her specs are: Displacement 662 long tons (673 t) surfaced, 740 long tons (750 t) Length 205 ft (62 m) Beam 16 ft (4.9 m) Draught 10 ft (3.0 m)
Speed 12 Knots on the surface while under is 9, the range fully loaded with Ammon and fuel is 5,000 miles. Armed with Torpedos and a 80 mm canon for other targets make the submarine way ahead of its time."
Olena turned to the Czarina and her entourage with her best HR approved smile, and waited for questions.
The Czarina looked over to a rather small Asian woman with a note book who was writing vigorously, the woman handed booklet over to the Czarina.
Anastasia looked over the booklet for any questions she had over the tour, "I have only one, you mentioned some variants the base was researching I would like to see them and compare notes."
Olena checks grew slightly pink at the question, "Ah...they are quite rough right now, but I'll be happy to show you them." Olena then guided the group to her office where she had been spending her personal time tinkering and on various designs.
Olena-"I don't know what you can glean from them or if they are even viable, but these are the most complete designs. One is a cargo submarine, these can hold 32 standard cargo containers in a sealed area to be transported to anywhere in the world undetected.
Next is the Alicron which Is mostly a dream as I have no ideas on how to power it, but it is what I call a Submersible Areoplane Launcher." Olena looked over to the Czarina her personal idol and hero, a woman who had broken every expectation set on her. And she was giggling to herself, Olena felt her heart break in that moment as all her dreams were crushed.
Anastasia then looked at the woman face and frowned at the look on her face as the situation clicked in her head. "Oh, oh, I'm so sorry, I'm not laughing at you Dr.Olena I'm laughing at myself."
Olena brain broke once again and if computers were around many would say it blue screened as all she could say is "what" in a very tiny voice.
Anastasia motioned at the print in front of her, "I never would have considered doing this, and while this is top secret we are currently designing And testing a number of Vessels designed to do this. So your ideas here are interesting and I suspect you have more?"
Olena, blinked away the tears at the corner of hear eyes."Yes your majesty, I do have some designs and ideas."

While Olena and Ana talked about naval warfare and its future a Manchurian man and a Mongolian woman in there cultures respective traditional dress entered a secure facility in Vladivostok.
The woman a recently graduated doctor from Chinggus Khaan university (one of the first graduates) while the man was much older and a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, entering the facility they were greeted by their colleagues from all over Imperial Russian lands.
From the Chukotko-Kamchatkan too regularly Russian peoples that were wearing a variety of colorful clothing and lab coats, all of them seated in what looked like a theater hall with a large Banner above a podium.
Welcome to the First National Conference of Imperial Medicine!
The two medical practitioners seated themselves at one of the open seats, while a soldier whispered something in the ear of another.
After a couple of minutes a Rather Large Russian man came on stage, wearing western traditional doctors clothes he cleared his voice and began to speak.
"Greetings, I am Osip Mikhaylov the new appointed Minister of Health. [A polite applause was given] thank you, I know a great many of you are curious why you are called here today.
The reason is simple, your knowledge. Over the past three years under the guidance of the Czarina the technological knowledge of Imperial Russia has begun to outpace the rest of the world.
But we are not in all fields, our medical needs still Far outpace the active personal that is my reason for calling this event. In this room is some of the most advanced medical knowledge in all of Russia and I want to consolidate it.
And with the Czarinas permission I have started this project, where all the traditional medical knowledge of the native people and the help of westerns and eastern medicine will be catalogued and proven so not of the knowledgeable is lost.
To show what we can achieve I am proud to announce Russia fort innovation the medical field, penicillin."
After that the one of the greatest conference of Medical science was started, presentations done by witch doctors and medicine women from all over explained and showcased their skill while western doctors cataloged
All this information would be processed and proven true and eventually published in the great book of medicine that would sold all over Russia.
This meeting would eventually grow and grow to be on the international stage and invite men and women from as far as central Africa to speak and teach.
