Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Liu Chuan planned that in the future, when the German Imperial Navy went to war, it would be equipped with at least ‘Nassau-class’ battleships, ‘Hergoland-class’ battleships, ‘Caesar-class’ battleships, ‘King-class’ battleships, ‘Bavaria’ battleships, and no less than 9 or 12 battle cruisers.

In this way, the number of capital ships of the German Imperial Navy would reach 30 or 33.

Perhaps in terms of the number of capital ships, the Germanic Imperial Navy cannot be compared with the Imperial Royal Navy. However, if it comes to the performance of single ships, the thin-skinned capital ships of the Royal Navy are definitely not the opponents of the capital ships of the German Imperial Navy.

Especially with Liu Chuan, the existence of a cheat, the capital ship of the Germanic Empire in this time and space is more powerful than another time and space.

Under such circumstances, once a war breaks out in the future, the capital ships of the Germanic Imperial Navy will definitely be able to violently attack the capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Empire. This can not only change the balance of strength between the two sides, but also allow the Germanic Imperial Navy to gradually reverse the situation and drive the Royal Navy of the Empire from the throne of the sea overlord.

“Gentlemen, we now have no choice. The future of the empire is in our hands. The next big war, we must win! Liu Chuan looked firm.

“The empire will win!” Liu Chuan shouted.

“The empire will win!” The ministers of the Germanic Empire also echoed.

Everyone is full of confidence in this future war.

After the Congress of Algeciras , the Germanic Empire began to expand its armies, which made the situation in Europe even more tense.

After the expansion of the German Empire’s army, the Gaul kingdom also expanded its army in a-for-tat manner, increasing the number of their standing army to 800,000. The Russian Empire, an ally of the Gallic state, planned to raise the standing army to a flawing 2.3 million.

This made the skies over Europe seem to have begun to accumulate a thick cloud of war.

In terms of the navy, the battleship ‘Dreadnought’ of the Imperial Navy is being built in an orderly manner, which must be a battleship that shocks the world and will make the capital ships of other countries obsolete overnight.

However, the sun does not set and people do not know that the Germanic Empire has also begun the construction of dreadnoughts. Moreover, four ships were built at once.

All of Europe is about to enter a fierce arms race.

At the end of August 1706, Liu Chuan drove to the outskirts of Bolin.

He himself was riding in a luxury car, and the August Motor Company had been set up and began to ride in luxury cars and trucks.

Although Liu Chuan was not an automotive engineer in his previous life, his talent in machinery is still very strong. He optimized the car of this time and space, making the car made by August Motor Company more advanced and luxurious.

This quickly grabbed orders from Mercedes Motors and Mercedes-Benz Cars.

In the current domestic automobile market of the Germanic Empire, the cars produced by the August Motor Company represent luxury cars and are the first choice of countless capitalists, factory owners, financiers and Junker landowners, as well as aristocrats. Even the imperial government gave orders to August Motor Company.

Trucks are August’s strength.

The main products are divided into two types, four-wheeled trucks, capable of loading 1.5 tons of cargo, and the maximum speed can reach 40 kilometers per hour.

The other is a six-wheeled truck capable of carrying 2.5 tons of cargo and also capable of reaching a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.

The Germanic Imperial Army had placed a huge order for the August Motor Company to replace the mule horses in the army with trucks. At the very least, mules and horses used to transport logistics and drag cannons will be eliminated.

As the emperor, Liu Chuan rode in a bulletproof car specially produced by August Automobile Company, specially equipped with thick steel plates, which can effectively resist rifle fire at close range.

Behind Liu Chuan’s car, several trucks followed. It was full of soldiers of the Imperial Janissaries.

The Janissaries of the Germanic Empire, although not large, were selected from the elite of the rushing army. Their duty is to protect the safety of His Majesty the Emperor.

Liu Chuan left the palace this time and went to the outskirts of Bolin to inspect August Aircraft Manufacturing Company and observe the test flight of August Aircraft Manufacturing Company’s first aircraft.

In another time and space, it is believed that the inventors of the airplane were the Wright brothers.

But in fact, the real flying first man was not the Wright brothers.

Let’s not mention that Li Lindahl, the inventor of the glider, took to the air with a glider more than ten years ago. Even, in the end, he died because of a glider crash.

The real first to build the airplane was also Germanic, a Germanic engineer named Gustav Whitehead, who invented the airplane, or automobile airplane, two years before the Wright brothers.
