In order to fight against the powerful Germany, Britain and the United States are doing their best to develop armaments. Similarly, Germany's other enemy in Far East is also trying its best to develop armaments. Last time, Germany beat Island Nation very badly. Not only did they spit out all the colonies of South Seas that they had finally occupied, but even the large coastal cities in the country were destroyed. This caused Island Nation to suffer heavy losses.
Fortunately, United States provided great support to Island Nation, not only providing them with a loan of 200 million US dollars, but also shipped a large amount of food to Island Nation, allowing Island Nation to tide over the difficulties.
However, just after the crisis passed, Island Nation began to rearm. They suffered such a big loss at the hands of Germany, how could these Island Nation people let go? No matter they are senior officials of Island Nation's Cabinet, senior officials of the military, or even ordinary Island Nation people, they all want to take revenge on Germany. However, Germany is too powerful and is now the world's hegemon. With Island Nation's current strength, if he rashly seeks revenge on Germany, there will only be one final result, and that is to be pinned to the ground and beaten up by Germany again. Therefore, until the strength becomes stronger, or before there is an excellent opportunity, Island Nation people can only choose to endure.
Of course, in order to one day seek revenge on Germany, Island Nation's armaments must also be strengthened to rebuild. Island Nation Navy, under the attack of German Expeditionary Fleet, almost the entire army was wiped out. But now they are developing again. Two 'Fusō-class' and Battleship have been put into service successively, making Island Nation once again possess Capital Ships, and it is extremely powerful Capital Ships.
In Island Nation Navy's shipyard, there are still many Capital Shipss under construction, including two 'Ise-class' Battleships. Even the follow-up, more powerful Capital Ships is also under construction.
However, Island Nation Navy is still very dissatisfied with this. In their opinion, Island Nation Navy must become more powerful. In this case, they will have the day to defeat Germany and take revenge.
Island Nation Navy Department, First Sea Lord Admiral Katō Tomosaburō, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Shimamura Hayao, jointly with Fleet Commander Admiral Yamashita Gentarō, are discussing the current development of Island Nation Navy.
"Gentlemen, the Pacific Fleet of the Germany people have officially entered Lion City, and that 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 even It can be concluded that the Pacific Fleet of the Germany people was specifically targeted at the Empire. Although the Germany people defeated Empire, the development of the Empire also attracted their attention." Admiral Katō Tomosaburō looked solemn.
"Kato-kun, the Pacific Fleet of Germany has eight Capital Ships, including five 'Kaiser class' Battleship and three 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser. Although, these battleships are all Germany people built it in the last World War. But now, it is definitely a cutting-edge battleship. Even our 'Fusō-class' Battleship and 'Ise-class' Battleship can't compare with it!" said Admiral Shimamura Hayao.
"Yes, the German capital ships are equipped with 380mm main guns with 50 times the caliber. And our 'Fuso-class' battleships and 'Ise-class' battleships are equipped with 356mm main guns with 45 times the caliber. Although the number of main guns is three more, but Compared with the German battleships, there is undoubtedly a big gap in comprehensive combat effectiveness. The last war has undoubtedly proved that our battleships have almost no power to fight back against the Germans' advanced battleships," said General Gentaro Yamashita.
His predecessor, Admiral Ijūin Gorō, died in the battle, which made Combined Fleet and others full of hatred for Germany.
"In addition, judging from the number of Capital Ships alone, we are far from enough. The Germany people's Pacific Fleet has eight Capital Ships. Their Indian Ocean Fleet, there are seven Capital Ships. It can be seen from the decisive battle between Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire Navy that just ended. Once a war breaks out, German Navy will go. In other words, if a war breaks out between us and Germany again, we may have to face not only Germany but also Pacific Fleet. Join their Indian Ocean Fleet. Even their Mediterranean Fleet may join in. In that case, Imperial Navy will face great pressure!" Admiral Yamashita Gentarō continued.
Admiral Katō Tomosaburō and Admiral Shimamura Hayao looked very ugly, almost desperate. Just German Navy's Pacific Fleet is enough to make them feel stressed out. If Indian Ocean Fleet joins in, then they have no chance of winning, let alone Mediterranean Fleet. Although the defense zone of Mediterranean Fleet is too far from Far East. However, judging from the distribution of Grand Fleet among German Navy, especially after Austro-Hungarian Empire Navy was solved, Mediterranean Fleet's mission has become to support other fleets. Whether it's the East or Seomyeon, if something happens, Mediterranean Fleet can go to support.
"If this is the case, then our strength needs to be further improved!" Admiral Katō Tomosaburō said.
"Kato-kun, the design plan for the 'Nagato-class' battleship that will follow the 'Ise-class' battleship has been completed. The main gun will use four twin-mounted 45 times the caliber 410mm main gun. In this case, even if it faces the new main force of the German Navy, In addition, the design of the "Kaga-class" battleships that will follow the "Nagato-class" battleships has also begun. If the four battleships of these two classes can be completed and put into service, we will at least have a Pacific ship with the Germans. If we can add the capital ships that we continue to build, it is not impossible to fight against the German Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet. At that time, once the Germans and the Americans start fighting, we can take the opportunity to defeat the German Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, and then march into the Southeast Asia and capture all of Southeast Asia, even India. In that case, the take-off of the empire will be just around the corner!" said General Shimamura Hayao.
Admiral Yamashita Gentarō also nodded repeatedly.
General Tomosaburo Kato frowned. Although he also hoped that Island Nation Navy would develop more powerfully, that would require money!
