Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Thanks to the book friends ** for the tip!

The Germanic Empire builds one capital ship, and the Empire that never sets builds two!

Such a slogan is undoubtedly extremely domineering, and it also reveals the arrogance and resoluteness of the Sun Never Set Empire, as well as the importance that the Sun Never Sets Empire attaches to sea power. This is because this is the foundation for them to live and maintain their hegemony.

Of course, the Sun Never Sets Empire definitely has such a capital.

The Sun Never Sets Empire, which controls most of the world’s colonies, can obtain a large amount of shipbuilding funds by frantically harvesting colonies and exploiting more wealth.

In contrast, other countries are not as rich as the Sun Never Set Empire.

“The maritime supremacy of the empire is extremely important. In any case, we will definitely not be able to be surpassed by the Germans in this regard. Otherwise, the empire will be greatly threatened. The hegemony of the empire will also be dealt a heavy blow! “Prime Minister Herbert Asquith took a stand.

Although he knew very well that after entering the naval arms race, the Sun Never Set Empire would spend a lot of money and invest a lot of money for this.

However, the Sun Never Sets 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 set be guaranteed.

The other cabinet ministers of the Sun Never Set Empire also nodded their heads one after another, expressing their agreement with this view.

The sun never sets, and the empire is also the world hegemon! Moreover, it has been a hegemon for hundreds of years. Their heritage is deep and their accumulation is very large. They are not afraid to compete with other countries.

In other words, they firmly believe that even if there is a naval arms race, it must be them who will win in the end.

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

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

“Sir, this is a major matter related to the life and death of the empire, and there must be no negligence!” Prime Minister Herbert Asquith 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 343mm guns, which are 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 more powerful main guns will certainly be able to pose a greater advantage over the enemy. I call this capital ship a super dreadnought! Sir John Fisher looked proud.

I have to admit that the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire 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, clearly satisfied.

The Sun Never Sets Empire increased its investment and started to build more capital ships, which naturally could not be concealed from the Germanic Empire.

The Germanic Empire also received the news very quickly.

This also made the top officials of the Navy very worried.

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

“Your Majesty, the sun does not set and the construction plan of two battleships and three battle cruisers has been added. Once these capital ships insist, the Royal Navy of the Empire will have ten battleships and six battle cruisers. In comparison, we had only 8 battleships and 4 battle cruisers, completely at a disadvantage! Marshal Earl Tirpitz looked worried.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The sun does not set and arrogantly shouts out the slogan that we build one capital ship, and they will build two, which is simply not taking the Imperial Navy into account! The Chief of Staff of the Navy, Marshal von Boer, also said.

When August heard this, he couldn’t help but smile.

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

In the competition for dreadnoughts, it is not so easy for the people of the sun to once again have twice the numerical advantage of the capital ships of the Imperial Navy. Besides, from the perspective of single-ship performance, the capital ship of the Imperial Navy is completely capable of suppressing the sun and not setting people. Even if they have some numerical advantage, as long as this gap is not too big, they cannot be our opponents! Moreover, the Imperial Navy will not stand still at this. Our shipbuilding program will continue. ”

August did not take the threat of the sun to the rest of his life.

“Your Majesty, according to the information we have obtained, the people of the sun are actively preparing and may soon start building a super dreadnought equipped with larger caliber main guns!” Marshal Count Tirpitz continued.
