After World War ended, the international situation did not ease due to the winner, but instead became even more tense. First, Germany destroyed his original hardcore allies, which further consolidated Germany's Hegemonic Status. But this has also put great pressure on other countries, causing them to strengthen their military build-up.
Several of Germany's main opponents, except Buru and Germany, are in the honeymoon period, several other countries have already focused on strengthening their arms construction. Even Buru is also worried that Germany will turn against them and attack them. Therefore, Buru has always maintained a large army. As the main force, Buru Army has a standing army of more than four million people. And the mobilization system has been strengthened, which can double Buru's army within three months. If Germany wants to attack Buru, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to defeat Buru's army of eight million or even tens of millions.
It is precisely because of this that Buru dares to trust Audacious to cooperate with Germany. Although they know that this is seeking skin from a tiger. However, the leaders of Buru all know that if they do not work hard to develop themselves, they will be even more unable to resist once Germany really launches an attack on them.
All the major powers in the world are strengthening their arms construction, which has also attracted Germany's attention.
"Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the first aircraft carrier jointly developed by Americans and British - 'Langley' has been built. Although, this aircraft carrier is fully loaded The displacement is less than 20,000 tons, and it can only carry 36 Carrier-based aircraft. However, it is certain that United States and Britain will fly on the 'Langley'. During the construction process of the carrier, we have accumulated a wealth of experience. It is foreseeable that after the aircraft carrier "Langley" is completed and put into service, United States and Britain will probably follow. Build more and more powerful aircraft carriers. In this case, Imperial Navy may be under greater pressure." Imperial Navy Minister Reinhard? Admiral Scheer is worried.
Although, compared to German Navy, American Navy is still very weak. Even if American Navy begins to accelerate its development, it is undoubtedly impossible to catch up with German Navy in a short period of time. However, this was enough to make Reinhard? Admiral Scheer, the head of German Navy, feel threatened.
Oscar nodded. "Americans, with the support of Britain people, has just begun to build aircraft carriers. However, with their industrial strength, once they master the key technologies, they will inevitably greatly increase the construction speed. However, Empire does not need to worry too much. After all, in this regard, Empire has already greatly improved They want to catch up with the Empire, but they will not be able to catch up for a while. Next, Empire only needs to further build the aircraft carrier we have planned and continuously improve the performance of the aircraft carrier. At the same time, the performance of Carrier-based aircraft will be enough to ensure that Imperial Navy will always be ahead of Americans."
Reinhard? Admiral Scheer nodded, but obviously he was not completely relieved yet.
"Once a war starts, Empire will definitely increase the speed of aircraft carrier construction. By then, Empire's industrial strength will be more powerful than United States, and its shipbuilding strength will also be far ahead of them. Empire will It takes about a year and a half to build an aircraft carrier to increase the size of our aircraft carrier. And we can build multiple aircraft carriers at once. I guarantee that once a war breaks out in the future, Imperial Navy will definitely be able to crush American Navy!" Oscar continued.
Reinhard? Admiral Scheer, then the hanging heart returned to the stomach.
"Your Majesty, in addition to aircraft carriers, the Americans and British have not slowed down in the construction of capital ships. Although the British are hiding in Canada, they have restarted the construction of 'Lion-class' battleships and 'Hood-class' battlecruisers. The U. S. Navy is in ' After the Colorado-class battleship was put into service, construction of the North Carolina-class battleship continued, and it is said that the follow-up 'South Dakota-class' battleship is also on the agenda. This also poses a threat to the Imperial Navy," said Marshal Reinhard Scheer.
American Navy There are now 11 Battleship. If two 'North Carolina-class' Battleship and four 'South Dakota-class'Battleship is completed and put into service, which will increase the number of their Capital Ships ships to 17. Adding in the eight ships of the Britain people, this will be 25 ships. There are only 16 Capital Shipss of German Navy, Home Fleet and Atlantic Fleet. Even if the seven Capital Shipss of Mediterranean Fleet are added, they are still at a disadvantage. Therefore, there are already opinions within German Navy to restart the construction plan of Capital Ships and build another two levels of about ten Capital Shipss to further enhance the strength of German Navy and Capital Ships.
"Americans and British wants to build Capital Ships, then let them build it! A country's national power is limited. When they build a lot of Capital Ships, on the aircraft carrier, It will definitely be affected. And the aircraft carrier replacing Capital Ships is already a certainty. This will make it easier for us to defeat them in the future!" Oscar said.
Although, Capital Ships still has strong combat effectiveness under specific battlefield conditions. However, generally speaking, being replaced by aircraft carriers is irreversible. Oscar wishes United States and other enemies would build more Capital Ships. In that case, they would only become living targets under the overwhelming Carrier-based aircraft attack from the Germany aircraft carrier.
Reinhard? Admiral Scheer saw that Oscar was not prepared to give in on this issue, so he had no choice but to say nothing more. He had no choice but to ask for the construction of Capital Ships, which would definitely be rejected by Oscar. After all, building a huge Capital Ships can almost build an aircraft carrier plus all the Carrier-based aircraft.
"Your Majesty, in addition to United States and Britain, Island Nation is also building Capital Ships like crazy. Island Nation Navy has already served two ships 'Fusō-class' Battleship, there are two more 'Ise-class' and Battleship under construction. The latest news is that the design of the follow-up 'Nagato-class' Battleship to Island Nation Navy is expected to start soon."
Oscar nodded. "It seems that last time Empire completely hurt the Island Nation people, so they tightened their belts and built Capital Ships. No. But, that's nothing. Once Empire assigns the aircraft carrier to Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, they will have enough strength to deal with the Island Nation people!"
