Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire
Chapter 513 Order for Han-class battleships
According to the current situation of the Daxia Empire, this treaty is actually very binding on Daxia.
A subject country with oriental characteristics allows Daxia to sell its eliminated warships to its subject country. In times of war, Daxia can mobilize these warships.
Looking at it this way, in fact, the total tonnage of Daxia's battleships has not been reduced, but the tonnage of the battleships has been evenly distributed to other dependent countries.
But Lin Yi didn't want to support this proposal.
Because he knew very well that it was after this proposal that the navies of various countries received serious restrictions, which led various countries to start researching other warships. For example, aircraft carrier.
Lin Yi doesn't want other countries to study aircraft carriers prematurely. After all, this is Daxia's only chance to surpass John's Empire and become the number one navy in the world.
He wants to trick European countries again.
He even planned that as long as European countries gave money, Daxia's shipyards could build Tang-class battleships for them, or sell the blueprints directly.
Some people may think that using Daxia's national power to help other countries build battleships or sell blueprints is simply an act of betrayal. But then again, battleships are destined to be eliminated after the emergence of aircraft carriers.
Since countries can invest funds in battleships that are destined to be eliminated, they will have no extra funds to research aircraft carriers.
Once a war breaks out, these battleships will become targets for aircraft carriers.
In the days to come, battleships actually appeared more on the sea as aircraft carrier escorts.
Therefore, Lin Yi signaled Gu Xianzhi to raise objections directly at the meeting.
This objection was immediately supported by John Empire.
You must know that at this time, the Empire of John had the largest number of surface ships and the largest total naval tonnage. How could he support the naval restriction treaty promoted by America?
Out of its own considerations, the Hans Empire chose to support Millician's proposal.
During this period, the Hans Empire originally had a weak navy, but now it finally found an opportunity to limit the naval strength of its rival John Empire.
William II didn't want to give up either.
As for the Gallic Empire, they have now begun to pursue a green water navy plan, which is an offshore navy. Unwilling to develop large ocean-going ships.
Instead, it began to develop large-caliber gunboats to serve as a maritime defense force.
The characteristic of this kind of gunboat is that the ship has a small tonnage but a large main gun caliber. Therefore, the restriction on the total tonnage of the navy is not taken seriously.
Therefore, the Gallic Empire chose neutrality in this proposal.
Therefore, the first proposal for the establishment of the League of Nations became a situation where two votes were in favor, two votes were against, and one abstained.
Faced with such a situation, the five leading council members are a little confused. They are used to being strong and always like to point fingers in international affairs.
However, the establishment of the League of Nations was agreed upon by all five of its council members. If we directly abandon the League of Nations now, it will have a huge impact on the authority of an institution like the League of Nations.
Therefore, Lin Yi instructed Gu Xianzhi to organize a member voting at the League of Nations.
In the absence of any other method, in order to maintain the authority of the League of Nations, the Hans Empire and Millikin could only agree on the meaning of Bactria and conduct a full vote.
At this time, the benefits of having many subordinate countries are revealed.
After giving certain benefits to the vassal states, the British Commonwealth and the vassal states of Bactria in the John Empire came into play.
In the end, the naval restriction motion proposed by Millikin was defeated by a narrow margin of one vote.
Regarding such a result, Mili Jian could only hold his nose and admit it.
It is impossible for him to force other countries to limit their own navies when all members vote against it for the first time.
Moreover, America is not yet the world's most powerful country, and its right to speak is not that big.
Therefore, when the proposal was rejected, Milician could only continue to strengthen its naval power.
It was at this time that Lin Yi asked Gu Xianzhi to find John Empire and Millikin and start selling his Han-class battleship.
As the predecessor of the Tang-class battleship, the Han-class battleship is still very marketable. So Imperial John and Milician took out their wallets and each ordered four Han-class battleships.
Of course, what the John Empire and Milician actually wanted to buy was the Tang-class battleship of the Daxia Empire.
Lin Yi also planned to sell the Tang-class battleship, but he knew that things that are easy to obtain are often not cherished by others.
If at this time, I easily agree to sell Tang-class battleships to the other party, it will only make the other party wary and feel that Daxia has developed a more powerful battleship.
Otherwise, who would sell their most advanced warships?
The John Empire and Milician must pay a certain price before selling it to them, so that the John Empire and Milician can believe that the Tang-class battleship is the latest and strongest battleship of the Daxia Empire.
The John Empire and Milician were really as Lin Yi thought. After asking several times, they stopped mentioning the Tang-class battleship.
Instead, after getting the design drawings of the Han-class battleship, I happily went back to study it.
In their opinion, since Daxia's Tang-class battleships are derived from Han-class battleships, they will definitely be able to develop a battleship more powerful than Tang-class battleships through the physical objects and drawings of Han-class battleships.
After seeing the Milician and John Empires purchasing battleships and blueprints from Daxia, the Hans Empire was also a little anxious.
The Hans Empire's navy was originally inferior to the John Empire next door, and now the John Empire wanted to purchase Daxia's battleships, which made the Hans Empire feel a crisis.
However, as the saying goes, crises are always accompanied by opportunities.
William II suddenly thought, since John's Empire and Millikin can buy battleships and blueprints from Daxia, why can't he?
Thinking of this, William II also asked people to contact Daxia, hoping to purchase Daxia's Han-class battleships.
Seeing that a deceived person was coming, Lin Yi certainly would not refuse and directly said that he could talk.
In addition, considering that the two sides are still allies, Daxia can also give some discounts to the Hans Empire.
When William II heard this, he immediately decided to purchase six Han-class battleships, with a total cost of more than 65 million Reichsmarks.
Although the Hans Empire received six battleships, this also made the financial situation of the Hans Empire even more difficult. The fiscal deficit further worsened.
The rival of the Hans Empire, the Gallic Empire, saw the Hans Empire and purchased six battleships in one fell swoop. They were also a little panicked.
As a result, the Gallic Empire also began to contact the Daxia Empire, saying that it also wanted to purchase Daxia's battleships.
The Daxia Empire said that it would not refuse anyone who came, and as long as it had money, Daxia would dare to take orders.
In this wave, Daxia can be said to have made a lot of money.
