Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“O God! Was that a Germanic super battleship? How can it be so huge! A sun never set on the sailors of the Imperial Royal Navy with a look of horror on their faces.
“O God! Our Orion-class battleships aren’t that big either, are they? ”
“Ahem! Not to mention the Orion-class battleships, even the King George V class battleships and the Iron Duke class battleships, or the Lion class battlecruisers, are not so large! ”
“Damn, how could the Germans have equipped such a powerful battleship?” The caliber of the main gun must be 15 inches, right? ”
“The main guns of the Germans should be equipped with 380 mm caliber, equivalent to our 15-inch guns!”
There is no doubt that the sailors of the Imperial Royal Navy who never set the sun are shocked one by one. Or rather, to be frightened. They never imagined that the Germanic Navy would be equipped with such a powerful battleship.
“If the Royal Navy were to go to war with the Germanic Empire now, would we have a chance of winning?” A young sailor asked in a low voice.
Suddenly, all the officers and men of the Royal Navy were silent.
Although they don’t want to admit it, this is the truth!
Even the Royal Navy has a slight advantage in the number of capital ships. However, the Royal Navy simply did not have a capital ship that could compete with the Germanic Navy’s Caesar-class battleships. Once the fight starts, the capital ships of the Royal Navy will certainly be easily sunk. At that time, the Royal Navy will be completely finished!
“The Royal Navy will never lose to the Germans, they can build such a huge capital ship, the Royal Navy will certainly not be worse than them, we will also build more powerful capital ships!” A Royal Navy officer gritted his teeth.
The other Officers and Men of the Royal Navy also nodded their heads.
None of them were willing to admit that the Royal Navy would be inferior to the Germanic Imperial Navy. However, the facts are in front of them, and they must not admit it!
The only thing they could do, perhaps, was to firmly believe that the Empire would build more powerful capital ships.
This discovery of the Imperial Royal Navy was quickly reported to the Admiralty, Sir John Fisher.
Sir John Fisher was equally shocked when he learned of this. He also could not believe that the Germanic Imperial Navy could be equipped with such a powerful capital ship. But he knew that the Germanic Empire was probably already ahead of the Empire when it came to super battleships. This is not a good thing for the Empire where the sun never sets!
“O God! The Germans quietly built so many powerful capital ships. They are definitely the Royal Navy’s worst enemies. The Royal Navy must further speed up the construction of capital ships and build more powerful capital ships. Otherwise, the Royal Navy would not have been able to maintain its superiority over the Germanic Imperial Navy, much less win future wars! Sir John Fisher had an anxious look on his face.
Sir John Fisher immediately went to the Prime Minister’s Office in Downing Street and reported the situation to Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. And this has also attracted the attention of Prime Minister Herbert Asquis. He immediately ordered the cabinet members of the Empire to be summoned to discuss countermeasures.
“Gentlemen, we have to admit that we grossly underestimated the strength of the Germans and the threat posed by the Germans to the Empire. The Royal Navy had received definite news that the Germans had served a very large, very powerful battleship. More powerful than any capital ship we are in service or even building! Prime Minister Herbert Asquis had a serious expression.
“O God!” The cabinet ministers of the Empire who never set the sun all exclaimed.
You know, the biggest reason why the Sun Never Sets Empire can become the world hegemon and sit on the throne of the overlord is because they have the most powerful Royal Navy in the world.
With the powerful Royal Navy, they were able to dominate the world’s oceans and plunder vast overseas colonies.
It can be said that the Royal Navy has become the cornerstone of maintaining the supremacy of the empire that never sets.
Once the Sun Never Sets Imperial Navy is defeated by the GermanIc Imperial Navy, the consequences will be unimaginable. The supremacy of the Empire that never sets will become crumbling in an instant.
“Can the current strength of the Royal Navy defeat the Germans?” Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray asked.
Sir John Fisher shook his head: “With the current strength of the Royal Navy, it is difficult to defeat the Germans. They had only 17 dreadnoughts though. However, the five ‘Caesar-class’ battleships they have newly commissioned are very powerful. The Royal Navy currently has no battleship to compete with! Even if we had 20 dreadnoughts, there were three more than the Germans. But our odds are still very, very small. ”
At this moment, the cabinet ministers of the Empire that never set could not calm down one by one.
“Don’t we still have dozens of former dreadnoughts?” That’s a lot of military construction! Isn’t it useless? Secretary of State of war Richard Haldane was very dissatisfied.
“Even with those huge numbers of ex-dreadnoughts, our chances of winning are still slim. The former dreadnought was simply vulnerable in front of the dreadnought. Not to mention being in front of the super dreadnought.
Originally, the Royal Navy thought that the construction of a batch of super dreadnoughts equipped with 343 mm guns would allow the Royal Navy to continue to suppress the Germans. But it did not occur to me that the Germans were stronger than we were. They are developing faster and go further than we do in this regard. The Royal Navy had to speed up its progress to build a battleship that could rival the Germanic super dreadnoughts.
To our greater concern, this was only the first super dreadnought in service by the Germans. There must have been many battleships of this type under construction in Germanic shipyards. This is a huge threat to the Royal Navy! ”
Sir John Fisher no longer had the confidence and pride he had before, but instead the horror. For the first time, he felt the great threat of the Germanic Empire to the Royal Navy.
If the previous threat was just a threat. So now, the Germanic Empire has really been able to challenge the Royal Navy. It can even be said that it is possible to defeat the Royal Navy. This is what shocked and frightened the top brass of the Empire.
