After the war broke out, Oscar's German Industrial Group was also greatly affected, especially German Welfare Lottery Company. Except for Allied Powers and United States's business, which was still operating normally, the business in other countries had been forced to stop. Especially Allied Powers, Oscar has long been prohibited from stealing Allied Powers's wealth in this way.

Daimler Motor Company has also been greatly affected, and the production of sedans has been reduced to a minimum. The rest of the production capacity is used to produce Truck and Jeep, which are urgently needed by the army, to ensure the army's needs in transporting materials and personnel.

Of course, German Shipyard, German Arms Company and German Aircraft Manufacturing Company showed explosive growth. During the war, these military industries were originally the most profitable.

For Oscar, who is extremely wealthy, providing weapons, equipment and tanks to several legions on the Western Front is nothing. Even if the money needs to be advanced by him temporarily. For Oscar, wealth is just a bunch of numbers. If he can exchange this wealth for the German Empire to win this war, then he will definitely spend all his property without hesitation.

Even before the war broke out, Oscar wanted to enhance the strength of the army. But unfortunately, because of Moltke the Younger's blockage, the only one he could influence was 8th Army Corps. Now, with Wilhelm II's preference, and Feng Falkenhayn becoming the chief of general staff, Oscar will naturally be able to infiltrate the army without any scruples, further increasing his influence.

"When will Oskar and Imperial Navy be able to defeat Britain people?" Wilhelm II asked.

The strategy on land has been formulated, and Wilhelm II's attention has shifted to the sea. German Navy gained an advantage in the battle with British Navy, which made Wilhelm II very satisfied. It proved that he was right to support the development of the navy over the years.

"Father Emperor, the Navy is still implementing the strategy of strangling Britain. The sea transportation line of Britain people on Atlantic Ocean is about to be sunk by our Commerce Raiding Fleet and submarines. However, the Navy has noticed that many hanging United States-flagged merchant ships travel between Britain and the United States. You don't need to think about it to know that when the Britain people were about to be strangled to death, they could only lower their heads and ask for help from Americans, and Americans obviously decided to support the Britain people." Oscar said.

United States would transfuse blood for Britain, which was not unexpected by Oscar. Germany has a huge advantage in this war. If Allied Powers does not get support, it is very likely that the war will be lost. And Americans, for its own benefit, obviously does not want to see Germany win and dominate the entire Europe. However, Americans doesn't want to go into battle shirtless now, so he can only support Britain in this way and let them continue to fight against Germany.

"Americans is not afraid of making enemies with us by doing this?" Wilhelm II frowned.

"Father Emperor, when the entire European continent is fighting and all countries are bleeding, Americans naturally has nothing to fear. Their strong industrial strength and huge population base make them a very important country.. No matter which side you join, it will play a decisive role. Unless the Europe war ends and a hegemon truly rises, Americans will never stop being unscrupulous." Oscar said.

Wilhelm II's face didn't look good. Americans's behavior made him very angry. When he was young, he would have declared war on Americans at all costs and let them know the consequences of provoking German Empire. However, Wilhelm II is different now. He knew that under the current circumstances, Germany could no longer provoke such a powerful enemy as United States. Once Americans is forced to Allied Powers's side, it will be very detrimental to Germany. Unless Germany can defeat Allied Powers in this war and become the overlord of European continent. Only then will they have enough strength to confront United States, or even suppress United States.

It's just that, as the saying goes, patience means a knife in the head. Knowing that Americans is plotting against him, but he can only endure it, this is undoubtedly very difficult for Wilhelm II.

"Your Highness, is it possible that we will let Americans harm Empire's interests so unscrupulously?" Feng Falkenhayn also said. He was also very angry at Americans's shameless behavior.

"At this stage, we really have no way to defeat Americans. Although our army is the best in the world, it is impossible to attack United States with the constraints of Britain, France, and Russia and other countries. What's more, there is also the obstruction of Atlantic Ocean. At this stage, our mission is still to defeat Allied Powers. As long as we defeat Allied Powers, then all problems can be solved." Oscar said.

"Oskar, is there no other way?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Father Emperor, unless our navy defeats British Navy next year. By then, we will have strong power to target Americans. Even with a strong navy, we can directly block it completely Britain, prohibiting ships from any other country from going to Britain, and completely trapping Britain, will definitely not be difficult," Oscar said.

"Is there going to be a decisive battle with British Navy next year? The navy will definitely win, right?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Yes, Father Emperor. Next year the navy's 'Bavaria-class' Battleship and 'Mackensen-class' Battlecruiser will be in service. We will add eight more Capital Ships equipped with 380mm Main Gun, which will give our navy a greater advantage. By then, we will definitely be able to defeat the Britain people." Oscar looked very confident.

In the previous naval battles, German Navy had already caused British Navy to lose more than ten Capital Shipss, and all of them were still British Navy's cutting-edge Capital Shipss. This makes German Navy truly surpass British Navy. Even if British Navy has the powerful 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship and 'Revenge-class' Battleship in service, German Navy is not afraid at all. It can be said that once there is a decisive battle with British Navy, the winner will definitely be German Navy.

After all, Oscar still has too many trump cards in his hands. In addition to the Capital Ships team, there are also aircraft carriers and submarines. These weapons can pose a fatal threat to British Navy's Capital Ships team.

Based on these reasons, the strength of German Navy is definitely the first in the world, and it has surpassed British Royal Navy by a lot.
