After the end of the world war, the international situation did not ease because of the outcome, but became more tense. First, Germany destroyed its original hard-core allies, further consolidating its dominance. But this also put great pressure on other countries, causing them to strengthen their armaments one after another.
Germany's main opponents, except for Russia and Germany are in the honeymoon period, several other countries have already focused on strengthening their armaments. Even Bu Russia is also worried that Germany will turn its face and deny people at some point and launch an attack on them. Therefore, Bu Russia has always maintained a huge army. As the main force of the Russian Army, the standing army remained at more than 4 million people. And the mobilization system has been strengthened, and the army of Bu Russia can be doubled within three months. If Germany wants to attack Bu Russia, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to defeat as many as 8 million or even tens of millions of Bu Russia troops.
It is precisely because of this that Bu Russia dares to cooperate with Germany with confidence. Although they know that this is seeking skin from a tiger. However, the leaders of Bu Russia know that if they do not work hard to develop themselves, once Germany really launches an attack on them, they will be even more unable to resist.
All major powers in the world are strengthening their armaments, which has also attracted the attention of Germany.
"Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, construction of the first aircraft carrier jointly developed by the Americans and the British, the 'Langley', has begun. Although, the full load displacement of this aircraft carrier is less than 20,000 tons, it can only carry 36 carrier-based aircraft. However, it is certain that the United States and the United Kingdom will accumulate rich experience during the construction of the "Langley" aircraft carrier. It is foreseeable that after the "Langley" aircraft carrier is completed and put into service, The United States and the United Kingdom will probably build more and more powerful aircraft carriers one after another. In this case, the pressure on the Imperial Navy will probably be even greater." Marshal Reinhard Scheer, Minister of the Imperial Navy, was worried.
Although, compared to the German Navy, the U.S. Navy is still very weak. Even if the U.S. Navy starts to speed up its development, it is undoubtedly impossible to catch up with the German Navy in a short period of time. However, this was enough to make Marshal Reinhard Scheer, the head of the German Navy, feel threatened.
Qin Tian nodded: "With the support of the British, although the Americans have just begun to build aircraft carriers. However, with their industrial strength, once they master the key technologies, they will definitely increase the speed of construction. However, There is no need for the empire to worry too much. After all, in this respect, the empire is already far ahead of them. They want to catch up with the empire, but they will not be able to catch up for a while. Next, the empire only needs to be further built step by step. We have already planned A good aircraft carrier keeps improving the performance of the aircraft carrier. At the same time, the performance of the carrier-based aircraft also keeps improving, which is enough to ensure that the Imperial Navy has always been ahead of the Americans."
Marshal Reinhardt Scheer nodded, but apparently he was not completely relieved.
"Once the war starts, the empire will inevitably increase the speed of aircraft carrier construction. By then, the empire's industrial strength will be stronger than that of the United States, and its shipbuilding strength will be far ahead of them. It takes about half the time to build an aircraft carrier to increase the size of our aircraft carrier. And it is a one-time construction of multiple aircraft carriers. I guarantee that once a war breaks out in the future, the Imperial Navy will definitely be able to crush the US Navy!" Qin Tian continued.
Marshal Reinhard Scheer put his hanging heart back into his stomach.
"Your Majesty, in addition to aircraft carriers, the Americans and the British have not slowed down in the construction of capital ships. Although the British retreated to Canada, they restarted the 'Lion-class' battleships and the 'Hood-class' battleships." The construction of cruisers. After the 'Colorado-class' battleships were in service, the U.S. Navy continued to build the 'North Carolina-class' battleships. It is said that the follow-up 'South Dakota-class' battleships are also on the agenda. Threat." Marshal Reinhard Scheer said.
The U.S. Navy already has 11 battleships. If two 'North Carolina-class' battleships and four 'South Dakota-class' battleships are completed and commissioned, this will bring their number of capital ships to 17, plus the British's eight , this is 25 ships. The German Navy's Home Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet have only 16 capital ships in total. Even if the 7 capital ships of the Mediterranean Fleet are added, it is also at a disadvantage. Therefore, the German Navy has already had a point of view to restart the construction plan of the capital ship, and then build two levels of about ten capital ships to further enhance the strength of the German Navy's capital ships.
"The Americans and the British want to build capital ships, so let them build them! A country's national power is limited. When they build a lot of capital ships, they will inevitably be affected on the aircraft carrier. And the aircraft carrier replaces the main force. The warship is already a firm matter. If this is the case, it will make it easier for us to defeat them in the future!" Qin Tian said.
Although capital ships still have strong combat effectiveness in certain battlefield situations. However, generally speaking, being replaced by an aircraft carrier is irreversible. Qin Tian wished that the United States and other enemies would build more capital ships. In that case, under the attack of the overwhelming carrier-based aircraft of the German aircraft carrier, they would only become living targets.
Marshal Reinhard Scheer saw that Qin Tian was not going to back down on this issue, so he had no choice but to say nothing more. He had no choice but to ask for the construction of a battleship, Qin Tian would definitely veto it. After all, building a huge capital ship can almost build an aircraft carrier plus all carrier-based aircraft.
"Your Majesty, in addition to the United States and the United Kingdom, the island countries are also frantically building capital ships. The island navy has already served two 'Fuso-class' battleships, and two more 'Ise-class' battleships are under construction. And the latest According to news, the follow-up Nagato-class battleship of the Japanese Navy has completed the design and is expected to start construction soon.”
Qin Tian nodded: "It seems that the last time the empire hurt the islanders completely, that's why they tightened their belts to build capital ships. However, that's nothing. Once the empire assigns the aircraft carrier to the Pacific Fleet and After the Indian Ocean Fleet, they will have enough strength to deal with the islanders!"
