Germany, Berlin, Royal Palace, Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire's office.
Tonight, Oscar made an exception and did not have dinner with his family. Instead, he asked his secretary to get some food to deal with the meal. Because today is the day of decisive battle between Imperial Navy and Allied Powers Navy. Oscar After finishing his official duties, he has been waiting in the office for news of the naval battle. Oscar has already ordered that any news from the navy be reported to him immediately.
Although, no definite news has come yet. But Oscar still believes that German Navy will definitely win this battle. Of course Britain, France, and Italy the three countries united and assembled a very powerful fleet. However, it was just a fleet that looked very powerful. In fact, compared with the powerful Imperial Navy, the gap is not even a bit. Not to mention, Imperial Navy also has two aircraft carriers to assist in the battle. Imperial Navy, which has been replaced with the new Carrier-based aircraft, is more powerful and can tear apart all enemies.
However, there are too many uncertainties in naval battles. Therefore, although Oscar is very confident, he dare not really let go until the dust has settled.
After drinking a cup of coffee, Oscar began to think about the Empire's future. This is what he often does when he has free time.
Imperial Navy After fighting this war, we have to start transforming. The quantities of Battleship and Battlecruiser must be further compressed. The aircraft carrier will replace the Battleship and Battlecruiser, becoming the Capital Ships team of Imperial Navy.
In addition, once Empire receives a large number of colonies from the Britain people, maintaining overseas colonies is also an important responsibility of Imperial Navy. This makes Empire must have a large number of cruisers. Heavy cruisers and Light Cruiser are both the shortcomings of German Navy. These are what German Navy needs to focus on in the next stage.
Destroyers also required further construction. After German Navy becomes number one in the world, in order to fight against German Navy, other enemies may take the same measures as Germany took before and vigorously develop underwater fleets. By then, Germany will have to face attacks from a large number of submarines. This requires Germany to have a powerful anti-submarine fleet. If necessary, the Navy can build a dedicated anti-submarine frigate. Weaken other aspects of performance and focus on strengthening anti-submarine performance. In this case, it will be very effective for German Navy to deal with underwater threats in the future.
Submarine is also a key development arm of German Navy. Now the performance of German submarines is still leading the world. However, in Oscar's eyes, the performance of current submarines is still too lagging behind. Apart from anything else, it is a flaw that it cannot submerge for a long time and cannot launch attacks on underwater targets. The submarines of the future navy will develop in this direction.
When Oscar went through all these development plans in his mind, Empire Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, the First Sea Lord and Minister of War and Chief of Staff Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhayn came together to seek a meeting.
Oscar You can guess the outcome of the naval battle from the smiles on their faces. This made his heart finally return to his stomach.
"You two, it seems there is good news for me!" Oscar said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty. This is very good news!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz's face flushed with excitement.
"Then I guess our results must be very brilliant. So, how about my losses?" Oscar asked.
Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz was stunned. He didn't expect that Oscar would pay attention to the loss first, so he said, "Your Majesty, our losses are not big. In terms of Capital Ships, except for the previous loss of the number 'Blücher' Except for Battlecruiser, the other Capital Ships were not sunk, but some Capital Ships were seriously damaged. As for the small and medium-sized warships, the losses were not large. It can be said that this time Imperial Navy won the naval battle with extremely slight losses."
Oscar nodded. If the loss was minor, that would undoubtedly be the best. In this case, Imperial Navy will have enough strength to control the world's oceans after this war is over, ensuring that Germany's interests around the world are not violated. Especially after Britain was defeated, Empire, Britain's colony, must take over all of it. Without a powerful navy, the protection of those colonies would be impossible.
"So, now you can tell me how great our results are!" Oscar said.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy completely wiped out all the battleships of the Allied Powers in this battle. Among them, four French and two Italian battleships surrendered to the Imperial Navy respectively. All other battleships were sunk by the Imperial Navy. The two fleet admirals of the Imperial Navy sank twelve Allied Powers in this battle. The main ship of the combined fleet. Even the six captured battleships were the result of the aircraft carrier's aircraft. The French and Italians were completely frightened by the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft, and they naturally chose to surrender." Marshal Count Tirpitz said.
"Haha, I didn't expect the aircraft carrier and Carrier-based aircraft to perform so well in this naval battle. I think there should be no doubts about establishing the aircraft carrier and Carrier-based aircraft as the focus of Imperial Navy's future development, right?" Oscar asked.
"Of course, Your Majesty, Imperial Navy and everyone support the development of aircraft carriers and Carrier-based aircraft." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said immediately. Facts have proved that His Majesty the Emperor's vision is completely correct.
Oscar nodded and said no more about this issue. Regarding the development of Imperial Navy, he will find time to discuss it in detail with Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz later.
"Your Majesty, this time Imperial Navy once again won a brilliant victory. Allied Powers The navies of the three countries have been completely wiped out by Imperial Navy. There will be no variables in this battle." Feng Falkenhayn said.
"Yes, after the failure of this naval battle, the French and Italy people have no other choice. I believe that they will surrender soon. As for the Britain people, they may surrender, or they may fight to the end. If they surrender, Empire must kill Britain hard. The E people have no chance to develop. If the Britain people choose to resist, then Empire must be prepared to landing in Britain completely destroy Britain!" Oscar said.
