A smile of relief appeared on Wilhelm II's face. Yes, although German Empire's enemies are very powerful, they have the most powerful army in the world and a navy that is developing rapidly. Even if they face many powerful countries, they will not have no chance of winning in future wars.

"It would be best if everyone has confidence. I believe that God will definitely protect Germanic nation. In the future war, even if Encirclement Offensive faces many powerful countries, the final victory will definitely be ours!" Wilhelm II said.

Oscar looked at everyone's performance and nodded secretly. Because of his efforts, German Navy has embarked on a completely different development path. Capital Ships, which is more powerful than British Navy and Capital Ships, is being rapidly launched. This will give German Navy a chance to catch up or even overtake British Navy. Even in terms of quantity, it may not be British Navy's opponent. However, the performance of a single ship can definitely crush British Navy. In this case, once a war breaks out in the future, German Navy still has a good chance of winning.

If German Navy can defeat British Navy and win the decisive battle at sea. So, will Germany be dragged to death by Allied Powers like in history? I'm afraid, that kind of history will never happen again. As long as we can continuously obtain various materials needed for the war through overseas trade, Germany will be able to continue the war. Even if it ends up being a fight in which both sides suffer, it's still better than losing. Besides, Oscar is working hard to save enough war materials for Germany before the war breaks out, so that Germany will not get into trouble in these aspects. In addition, Oscar's plan to arm Germany with various new weapons will further enhance Germany's military power, giving Germany a greater chance of winning in future wars.

"It would be great if Germany could defeat British Navy at the beginning of the war and at the same time severely damage French on the land battlefield. In that case, Germany can make a large sum of money in a short period of time, and the remaining Russia and Italy are nothing to worry about," Oscar thought secretly.

Changing the fate of Germany's defeat among World War I and winning the war for Germany is the goal of Oscar. He has been working hard for this. Although, it is very difficult to achieve this goal. However, at least they are moving towards this goal step by step. Oscar believes that as long as all his plans succeed before the war breaks out, then Germany will definitely be able to win the war in the future.

"Everyone, in the face of the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia's alliance, the empire is powerless to stop it. The only thing we can do is to prepare for war with all our strength and further strengthen our military strength, so that after the war breaks out, we can defeat our enemies with strong military power and win the war. I believe that as long as we unite and work hard to do all this, the future victory will definitely belong to us." Wilhelm II said with confidence.

"Victory belongs to the German Empire, and the empire will win!" The ministers were full of confidence in the future.

German Shipyard, although this shipyard has not been a large shipyard in the empire for a long time. However, it was responsible for most of the construction of Capital Ships, Imperial Navy. Four ships 'Nassau-class' Battleship, 'Helgoland-class' Battleship's first ship 'Helgoland' Battleship, three ships 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser. Among them, four ships 'Nassau-class' Battleship and three ships 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser have begun to be outfitted. The Nassau-class, Battleship, which has the fastest construction progress, is expected to be completed by the end of this year and delivered to German Navy. By then, German Navy will also enter the era of dreadnoughts.

Oscar is also prepared. After these slipways are vacated and the workers are free, the construction of the next level Capital Ships will begin. After 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser, German Navy also needs to have a more powerful Battlecruiser. And, the new level Capital Ships after 'Helgoland-class' Battleship.

These Capital Shipss that have been continuously built and put into service will become the backbone of German Navy and a strong guarantee for German Navy to defeat British Navy.

British Navy is also very concerned about German Navy's shipbuilding plan. As early as the Pre-dreadnought era, German Navy started to build a large number of Battleship, which caused great pressure on British Navy. Although, British Navy and Capital Ships still have an absolute advantage in terms of quantity. But no one can guarantee that as German Navy builds Capital Ships faster and faster, it will quickly surpass British Navy.

Fortunately, British Navy's 'Dreadnought' entered service, making all those old-fashioned dreadnoughts obsolete overnight. British Navy's advantages have not been narrowed, but have begun to expand. It seems that British Navy is once again at the forefront of navies around the world, leading the development trend of navies.

Just when Britain people thought they could sit back and relax, German Navy was still catching up. Moreover, on the new Capital Ships, it continues to compete with British Navy. Although German Navy has not yet completed the completion of a new Capital Ships, there are many Capital Shipss under construction. Once put into service in batches, it will inevitably pose a greater threat to British Navy.

In September 1907, a piece of information was placed on British First Sea Lord John? Admiral Sir John Fisher's desk. The information was accompanied by several photos. It can be clearly seen that they are several huge Capital Ships ships that are being outfitted, and even the main guns have been installed.

"God! Is this the new Capital Ships from Germany? The displacement is larger than that of Imperial Navy's Capital Ships is larger. The caliber of the main gun is also 305 mm. The three Triple Turrets are deployed along the central axis. This is undoubtedly a pioneering work. This layout seems to be better than that of the British Empire navy. The layout of Capital Ships is better. Is it possible that they have solved the accuracy problem of Triple Turrets? It's hard to imagine that this design actually came from. Germany people's hands. More importantly, their new Capital Ships seems to be ready for service soon." John? Admiral Sir John Fisher looked shocked and sighed. As the head of the Royal Navy of the British Empire and the initiator of the dreadnought project, he is undoubtedly the person leading the development of the world's navy. But now, he was still shocked by German Navy.

"Come here, prepare a car, I want to go Prime Minister's residence right away!" John? Admiral Sir John Fisher ordered.
