Germanic Empire: please call me William III

After Liu Chuan succeeded to the throne as the emperor of the Germanic Empire, the entire empire began to change slowly, and even gradually deviated from the track of history.

The wheel of history has already embarked on a fork in the road in this year.

The Germanic Imperial Navy halted the construction of the Braunschweig-class battleships and the Germanic-class battleships. Even the completion of the five Braunschweig-class battleships is already very high. However, the construction of the ten unfinished battleships has been stopped and will be dismantled. The dismantled steel plates and other materials will be recycled or used in the construction of new warships.

At the same time, the Germanic Imperial Navy began to demonstrate the “Nassau-class” battleship designed by Liu Chuan, and actively organized forces to overcome the problems encountered in building the “Nassau-class” battleship.

In addition, the design demonstration of the A-class destroyers, the American Hawk-class light cruisers and the Constellation-class heavy cruisers will soon begin. Once the argument was passed and the problem could be solved, the shipyards of the Germanic Navy would start building the ships.

In addition, at the request of Liu Chuan, the Germanic Imperial Navy had increased its emphasis on submarines.

Soon, the Germanic Navy would move in a different direction.

The Germanic Imperial Army also began to reorganize according to Liu Chuan’s requirements, equipping new weapons and forming new infantry divisions.

There is no doubt that the reorganization of the huge Germanic Army was a very large task. Even for the Germanic Empire, it would take two or three years to complete. Coupled with the need for training and running-in of new troops, the Germanic Empire may not be able to send troops to fight in a short period of time.

At the same time, the Germanic Empire also began to improve the mobilization system, speed up the mobilization response speed, and ensure that the future Germanic Empire can mobilize extremely powerful forces in a short period of time after the outbreak of war, so that the Germanic Empire gained a huge advantage in the early stage of the war.

The Cabinet government of the Germanic Empire also began to increase investment in the construction of transportation facilities and people’s livelihood.

The total length of railways in the Germanic Empire, although not as good as the Tsarist Empire. However, the density of railways is definitely the highest in the world. This made transportation in the Germanic Empire very convenient and fast.

Further increasing the construction and investment of transportation facilities can not only accelerate economic development. At the same time, it can also mobilize troops and war materials faster in the war. Ensure that the Germanic Empire can be reflected in time after the outbreak of war.

The National Strategic Reserve of the Germanic Empire also began secretly, and they would place orders all over the world through private companies to buy grain, oil, steel, rubber, copper ore, and other rare metals. And gradually increase the order volume. A considerable part of this will be stockpiled in case of emergency.

At the same time, the Germanic Empire promulgated a system of rewarding fertility, calling on the people of the Empire to have more children for the sake of the Empire and for the entire Germanic nation, so that the Empire could become more powerful.

In terms of industrial output, the Germanic Empire has become the second largest country in the world and the first in Europe after the lighthouse countries.

As an emerging power, it naturally poses a huge threat to the old power.

In particular, the rise of the Germanic Empire can be said to be stepping on the shoulders of the Gaul state. This made the other established powers extra wary of the Germanic Empire.

In particular, the Sun-Rising Empire, as the world hegemon, felt the threat of the Germanic Empire.

Therefore, while the Germanic Empire was vigorously developing its navy, the Empire was also vigorously developing its navy.

The number of capital ships of the Imperial Royal Navy has always remained more than twice as large as the capital ships of the Germanic Imperial Navy.

This gave the Imperial Royal Navy absolute superiority.

This made them not afraid of the challenges of the Germanic Empire and even other countries.

However, the Empire of the Rising Sun is still declining, and their strength is entirely based on the deep foundation left by centuries of hegemony and the exploitation of vast overseas colonies.

Such a strong is undoubtedly difficult to last.

The strength of the Germanic Empire itself is the foundation of its own strength.

And this, no doubt, will pose a huge threat to the Empire of the Rising Sun.

The sudden death of the aggressive Wilhelm II made the top brass of the Empire breathe a sigh of relief.

The newly enthroned emperor, though luck seemed good. However, in the end, it is too young. This also made the top brass of the Empire believe that it would be difficult for the Germanic Empire to maintain a rapid development momentum. In this way, it will no longer pose too much of a threat to the Empire where the sun never sets.

In particular, Liu Chuan’s invitation to stop the construction of the ‘Braunschweig-class’ battleship and the ‘Germanic-class’ battleship made the top brass of the Sun Never Set Empire clap their hands. It seemed that they finally did not have to worry about being overtaken by the Germanic Empire and could finally get a good night’s sleep.
