In order to fight against the powerful Germany, Britain and the United States are doing their utmost to develop armaments. Similarly, another enemy of Germany in the Far East is also vigorously developing its armaments. The last time, Germany beat the island country badly. Not only did it spit out all the colonies in Nanyang that it took so hard to occupy, but even the large coastal cities in China were destroyed. This caused the island country a heavy loss.

Fortunately, the United States has provided great support to the island countries. It not only provided them with a loan of 200 million US dollars, but also shipped a large amount of food to the island countries, allowing the island countries to tide over the difficulties.

However, as soon as the crisis passed, the island country began to rearm its armaments. They suffered such a big loss under the hands of Germany, how could these islanders let it go? Whether it is the senior officials of the island's cabinet, the military, or even the ordinary islanders, they all want to avenge Germany. It's just that Germany is too powerful and is now the world's hegemon. With the current strength of the island country, if they rashly seek revenge from Germany, there will only be one final result, and that is to be pressed to the ground by Germany again. Therefore, until the strength becomes stronger, or until there is an excellent opportunity, the islanders can only choose to endure.

Of course, in order to avenge Germany one day, the island nation's armament reconstruction must also be strengthened. The navy of the island country was almost wiped out by the German expeditionary fleet before. However, now they are growing again. Two "Fuso-class" battleships entered service one after another, allowing the island country to once again have a capital ship, and it is an extremely powerful capital ship.

In the shipyard of the island navy, there are still many capital ships under construction, including two "Ise-class" battleships. Even the subsequent more powerful capital ships are also under construction.

However, the navy of the island country is still very dissatisfied with this. In their view, the navy of the island country must become stronger. In this way, they will have the day to defeat Germany and take revenge.

The Ministry of the Navy of the island country, Admiral Tomosaburo Kato, Minister of the Navy, Admiral Hayao Shimamura, Commander of the Navy, and General Gentaro Yamashita, Commander of the Joint Fleet, are discussing the current development of the navy of the island country.

"Gentlemen, the German Pacific Fleet has officially entered the Lion City, which will become their home port. The entire Western Pacific and Central Pacific will become their defense zone. This is undoubtedly a great threat to the empire. We can even conclude that the German Pacific Fleet is aimed specifically at the Empire. Last time, the Germans certainly defeated the Empire, but the development of the Empire has also attracted their attention." Admiral Kato Yusaburo looked solemn.

"Kato-kun, the German Pacific Fleet has eight capital ships, including five 'King-class' battleships and three 'Derfflinger-class' battlecruisers. Although, these battleships were all Germans in the last It was built during the World War. But up to now, it is definitely a cutting-edge warship. Even our "Fuso-class" and "Ise-class" battleships may not be able to compare with them!" Admiral Hayao Shimamura said.

"Yes, those capital ships of the Germans are equipped with 380 mm main guns of 50 times the caliber. Our 'Fuso-class' battleships and 'Ise-class' battleships are equipped with 356 mm main guns of 45 times the caliber. guns. Although the number of main guns is three more, there is undoubtedly a big gap in overall combat effectiveness compared with the German battleships. The last war has undoubtedly proved that our battleships are no match for the German battleships. Under the advanced capital ship, there is almost no power to fight back." Admiral Gentaro Yamashita said.

His predecessor, Admiral Ijuin Goro, died in battle, which made the United Fleet full of hatred for Germany.

"In addition, we are far from enough in terms of the number of capital ships alone. The German Pacific Fleet has eight capital ships. Their Indian Ocean Fleet has seven capital ships. It can be seen from the decisive battle of the Austro-Hungarian Navy that once a war breaks out, the German Navy will often assemble several fleets to meet the enemy. In other words, if there is another war between us and Germany, we may have to face not only It is Germany's Pacific Fleet, I am afraid that their Indian Ocean Fleet will have to be added. Even their Mediterranean Fleet may also join in. In that case, the Imperial Navy will face great pressure!" Admiral Gentaro Yamashita continued.

General Tomosaburo Kato and General Hayao Shimamura had very ugly faces, almost desperate. The Pacific Fleet of the German Navy alone is enough to put them under great pressure. If the Indian Ocean Fleet joins in, then they have no chance of winning, let alone the Mediterranean Fleet. Although the defense zone of the Mediterranean Fleet is too far away from the Far East. However, judging from the distribution of several major fleets of the German Navy, especially after the Austro-Hungarian Navy was resolved, the task of the Mediterranean Fleet has become to support other fleets. Regardless of whether it is the east or the west, if something happens, the Mediterranean Fleet can go to support it.

"If this is the case, then our strength needs to be further improved!" General Kato Yusaburo said.

"Kato-kun, the design plan for the 'Nagato-class' battleship follow-up to the 'Ise-class' battleship has been completed. The main gun will use four double-mounted 410mm main guns with a caliber of 45 times. The Navy's cutting-edge battleships can also fight against it. In addition, the design of the "Kaga-class" battleships following the "Nagato-class" battleships has also begun. If the four battleships of these two classes can be completed and put into service, At least we have the strength to fight against the German Pacific Fleet. If we can add the capital ship that we will continue to work on later, it is not impossible to fight against the German Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet at the same time. At that time, once When the Germans and the Americans fight, we can take the opportunity to defeat the German Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, and then march into the South China Sea, take all of the South China Sea, and even India. In that case, the take-off of the empire will be just around the corner !” General Hayao Shimamura said.

General Gentaro Yamashita nodded again and again.

General Kato Tomosaburo frowned. Although he also hoped that the island nation's navy would become stronger, it needed money!
