Germanic Empire: please call me William III

Thanks to book friends** for the tip!

The Germanic Empire built one capital ship, and the Empire built two before the sun set!

Such slogans, undoubtedly extremely domineering, also reveal the arrogance and resoluteness of the Empire that never sets, as well as the importance that the Empire attaches to sea power. Because this is the basis for them to settle down and maintain hegemony.

Of course, the Empire that never sets also has such a capital.

The Empire of the Rising Sun, which controls most of the world’s colonies, can obtain a large amount of shipbuilding funds by frantically scraping the colonies and exploiting more wealth.

In contrast, other countries are not as rich as the Empire of the Rising Sun.

“The empire’s maritime supremacy is extremely important. In any case, we can never be surpassed by the Germans in this respect. Otherwise, the Empire would be greatly threatened. The hegemony of the Empire will also be hit hard! Prime Minister Herbert Asquis took a stand.

Although he knew very well that after entering the naval arms race, the Empire would spend a lot of money and invest a lot of money for it.

However, the Empire has no other choice.

They must overwhelm the Germanic Empire in this regard, deter the Germanic Empire, and make the Germanic Empire dare not challenge their hegemony! Only in this way can the interests of the Empire that never sets be guaranteed.

The other cabinet ministers of the Empire who never set the sun also nodded their heads in agreement with this view.

The Sun Never Sets Empire is also the overlord of the world! Moreover, he has been the overlord for hundreds of years. Their heritage is deep, and their accumulation is also very much. They are not at all afraid to compete with other countries.

Or rather, they firmly believe that even if there is a naval arms race, they must be the ones who win in the end.

When Sir John Fisher saw this, he couldn’t help but smile on his face. His goal has undoubtedly been achieved.

“Your Excellencies, Prime Ministers, thank you for your support of the Royal Navy. I promise that the Royal Navy will be able to suppress the Germans, so that they will have absolutely no chance or ability to challenge the hegemony of the Empire! Sir John Fisher assured.

“Sir, this is a matter of life and death for the Empire, and there must be no negligence!” Prime Minister Herbert Asquis reminded.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please rest assured that the Royal Navy is ready for everything. We plan to start construction of a more powerful capital ship next year. This time, we will use a 343 mm main gun, which is more powerful than the existing capital ships. In terms of defense, it will also be strengthened to a certain extent. At that time, this capital ship equipped with a more powerful main gun will inevitably be able to form a greater advantage over the enemy. I call this capital ship a super dreadnought! Sir John Fisher had a look of pride on his face.

I have to admit that the Imperial Navy is indeed the strongest in the world in terms of technical reserves and scientific and technological strength. So, they can continue to be at the forefront of the world.

Prime Minister Herbert Asquith had a smile on his face, evidently satisfied.

The Empire of the Rising Sun made additional investment and began to build more capital ships, which naturally could not hide from the Germanic Empire.

The Germanic Empire also received news soon.

This also makes the Navy’s top brass very worried.

(The protagonist will later be called August, not Liu Chuan).)

“Your Majesty, the Sun Never Sets has added plans for the construction of two battleships and three battlecruisers. Once these capital ships persisted, the Imperial Royal Navy would have ten battleships and six battlecruisers. In contrast, we only have 8 battleships and 4 battlecruisers, which is completely at a disadvantage! Count Tirpitz looked worried.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The sun does not set and the people arrogantly shout the slogan that we build one capital ship, they will build two ships, which is simply not to take the Imperial Navy in the eyes! Marshal Vonpol, chief of naval staff, also said.

Auguste heard this and couldn’t help but smile.

“The sun does not set and people are arrogant enough. Let’s not talk about whether they can do it. Even if they did, would they really be able to suppress the Imperial Navy? I don’t think so! The cost of the dreadnought was very high, and a large number of former dreadnoughts were built before the sun never set, but the Imperial Navy did not follow. This makes the sun never set on people consume a lot of money.

In the competition of dreadnoughts, it was not so easy for the Sun to regain the numerical superiority of the Capital Ships of the Imperial Navy. Besides, in terms of single-ship performance, the capital ship of the Imperial Navy is completely capable of suppressing the sun without setting. Even if they have some numerical advantages, as long as the gap is not too big, they cannot be our opponents! What’s more, the Imperial Navy will not stand still. Our shipbuilding plan will continue. ”

Auguste’s threat to the sun never setting was not taken to heart.

“Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the Sun Never Sets is actively preparing, and perhaps soon construction will begin on a super dreadnought armed with a larger caliber main gun!” Marshal Count Tirpitz went on.
