Third Reich: I took over power

Kaga-class battleship, with a full load displacement of nearly 40,000 tons, equipped with five twin-mounted 5 times the caliber 410 mm main guns, and a maximum speed of 26.5 knots. Originally, after the Nagato-class battleship, the Toyo Navy planned to build a Kaga-class battleship.

However, in view of the increasing role of the combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft in naval warfare, as well as the restrictions of naval treaties. Therefore, the Toyo Imperial Navy canceled the construction of the Kaga-class battleships, and instead converted the Kaga, which had been started but not completed, into an aircraft carrier.

This time, in order to strengthen the strength of the main fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy, the Navy requested to start construction of Kaga-class battleships again.

The Kii-class battleship is a follow-up model of the Kaga-class battleship. It has a full load displacement of more than 46,000 tons, is equipped with five twin-mounted 45 times caliber 410 mm guns, and has a maximum speed of nearly 30 knots. Compared with the Kaga-class battleships, the Kii-class battleships are faster and have thicker armor.

The Amagi-class battlecruiser is the follow-up battleship of the Kongo-class battlecruiser. After the King Kong-class battlecruiser was improved and its defense strengthened, it became a King Kong-class battleship. The Toyo Imperial Navy also hopes to build a battlecruiser to enhance the navy's rapid response capabilities. Under such circumstances, the Amagi-class battlecruiser came into being.

The Amagi-class battlecruiser has a full load displacement of more than 47,000 tons, is equipped with five twin-mounted 45 times caliber 410 mm main guns, and has a maximum speed of more than 30 knots.

This time, the Toyo Imperial Navy was extremely ambitious, requesting the construction of ten more battleships equipped with 410mm main guns. This will increase the number of capital ships in the Toyo Empire Navy from 14 to 24. Among them, there are four Yamato-class battleships equipped with 460mm main guns.

By then, the Toyo Empire Navy will definitely be regarded as one of the top maritime powers in the world. Especially in the Far East, Southeast Asia and Western Pacific, no country can compare with it.

Of course, realizing this shipbuilding plan will also require a large amount of money. Through the plunder of Nanyang and the Yanhuang Kingdom, the situation of the Eastern Empire has just become slightly better. But if we want to meet the Toyo Empire Navy's shipbuilding plan, then the entire Toyo Empire may have to tighten its belt again.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, for the empire to continue to maintain its advantage in future wars. In order to allow the empire to maintain its fruitful results. The Imperial Navy must be further strengthened. Otherwise, once the empire is defeated in the future, the consequences will be disastrous. By then, the empire may not be able to defend the overseas interests we have achieved with great difficulty."General Yoshida Zengo said

"That’s right, Your Majesty the Prime Minister. The empire is also an island country and is very similar to the empire on which the sun never sets. The navy is particularly important to the empire. If the navy fails, then we are very likely to face a tight blockade by the enemy like the empire on which the sun never sets. That would be a disaster for the empire. By that time, let alone safeguarding overseas interests, I am afraid that even the safety of the empire itself will be greatly threatened."Da Zang Daxiong expressed his opinion

"A powerful navy can not only ensure the security of the empire, but also consolidate the empire's overseas interests. It can even allow the empire to continue to expand overseas. I am about to occupy the entire Nanyang. Once the Burmese colony is captured, whether it is attacking Tianzhu to the west or attacking Kangaroo Country from Xiang to the south, it will need the support of the navy. Even if we want to challenge the powerful opponent on the other side of the ocean, seize maritime hegemony in the entire Pacific and occupy the Luzon colony."Foreign Minister Arita Hachiro said.

For a moment, the cabinet ministers of the Eastern Empire couldn't help but have solemn expressions.

Becoming the overlord of the Pacific has always been a goal of the Eastern Empire.

However, they knew very well that the Taikoo Country on the other side of the ocean was not It’s easy to mess with.

The powerful industry of the Eagle Sauce Country puts the Eastern Empire in a league. Its rich resources make the Eastern Empire even more envious.

Currently, in the entire Nanyang, except for the Burmese Palace colony that the Eastern Empire is attacking, only the Eagle Sauce Kingdom has The Luzon colony is no longer under the control of the Oriental Empire.

If it can challenge the Eagle Kingdom in the Pacific and defeat it, making the Oriental Empire the overlord of the Pacific. Then the Oriental Empire will truly become the most powerful country in the world. top power

"Can the Navy defeat the Eagle Country?" Mitsumasa Yoneuchi asked

"With the current strength of the Imperial Navy, it is not a problem to defeat the Eagle Navy. The Eagle Kingdom sold six of its most powerful battleships in active service to the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. But during the Battle of the Atlantic, it was sunk by the Third Reich. Although there are still many battleships in the Yingjiang Kingdom today, they are all old models. The new battleships are still under construction. However, the aircraft carrier of the Eagle Country deserves the attention of the Imperial Navy. If we launch a surprise attack, it will be a high probability event to destroy the power of the Eagle Navy in the Pacific in one fell swoop and control the entire Pacific."Admiral Zengo Yoshida seemed very confident.

Indeed, with the current strength of the Toyo Empire Navy, it is not difficult to deal with the Takajima Navy.

If the Toyo Empire Navy further develops and builds more powerful warships, it will be even more difficult. Not afraid of Eagle Sauce Country at all

"Gentlemen, do you have any objections to the Navy's shipbuilding plan? Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yonauchi asked.

Although Army Minister General Hata Shunroku was very dissatisfied, he knew that the Imperial Navy's military expansion plan had received support from other ministers.

Everyone hoped that the Imperial Navy of the East would face threats from other powers in the future. When the time comes, they can persevere and even defeat those powerful countries, defend the overseas interests they have finally obtained with great difficulty, and win in future wars.

Not to mention defeating the Eagle Country, becoming the overlord of the Pacific, and even the Eastern Empire. It has always been a long-cherished wish.

To realize this long-cherished wish, a powerful navy is indispensable.

"The Army does not have to oppose the Navy's military expansion plan. However, this shipbuilding cost cannot be allocated from the subsequent military expenditures, but can be allocated in the name of special military expenditures!"General Hata Shunroku put forward his own opinion.

He has only one request, that is, the army's military expenditure cannot be reduced.

Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi thought for a while, and then nodded:"Okay!"

Next, the Toyo Empire Navy once again entered the fast lane of development, which will make them more powerful than in another time and space._
