"The demands of the United States and the Island Nation are simply too excessive. The German Navy maintaining 1.5 million tons of Capital Ships has been thoroughly justified. In fact, the German Navy has already reached that scale. Yet the American Navy currently has only 400,000 tons of Capital Ships in total. Allowing the American Navy to build 600,000 tons of Capital Ships already leaves the United States considerable room. The Island Nation Navy currently has only tens of thousands of tons of Capital Ships. A scale of 300,000 tons is already more than enough. The Empire is doing this for your own good as well. After all, Capital Ships are not cheap. Building too many of them would place an enormous burden on your nations' finances," Wachth said.

"Although the American Navy currently has only 400,000 tons of Capital Ships, no one can dictate that we may build only 600,000 tons. As for financial pressure, Germany need not concern itself with that. The United States has more than sufficient financial strength to bear the construction of our naval Capital Ships," US Secretary of State Bryan said.

"The Island Nation Navy's Capital Ship tonnage can absolutely not be restricted to 300,000 tons. We have sufficient financial resources to build more Capital Ships!" Foreign Minister Ichiro Motono of the Island Nation said.

Although the entire Island Nation had decided to tighten its belt in order to develop its navy and build more warships, they would never retreat on this issue. After all, if they wished to defeat Germany's forces in the Far East, the navy would be the most crucial factor. Only then could they ensure that, after defeating the German Navy, they could expand into the South Seas, Australia, and India, allowing the nation to soar into the sky.
