Naval Review conducted by Germany was also very successful. German Navy fully demonstrated their power in front of representatives of other countries and the Empire people. Those giant steel ships undoubtedly represent the powerful force of German Navy, so any country that attempts to confront Germany has to consider whether they have the strength to confront Germany.
After Naval Review ended, the representatives from various countries who participated in Naval Review had different thoughts in their hearts. Those small countries don't care about this. Originally, they had to act based on the faces of major powers in international affairs. However, before, it was based on Britain's face. Now it's changed to just look at Germany people's faces. But those big countries are different. They know how powerful Germany is, and they know that if they want to challenge Germany, they may have to pay a higher price.
After Naval Review ended, German Navy held a grand dinner at the naval base to entertain representatives from various countries.
Oscar showed up at the dinner and then left. He needs to discuss with Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz which warships need to be sold.
"Your Excellency, has the navy discussed it internally?" Oscar asked.
Although, at the military reform conference, it was already determined that the Navy would sell a large number of warships. Moreover, Oscar has already made a clear statement on which warships will be sold. However, the navy generals were still a little unwilling to sell so many warships at once.
"Your Majesty, the generals hope to keep some more battleships. For example, those battleships equipped with 343mm Main Gun. If so many battleships are sold at once, there will be a big vacuum in the power of Imperial Navy. After all, It will take a lot of time for the warships we obtained from the Britain people to be put into service. Even the most completed warships will take a year, not to mention the other warships." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
Once Oscar's requirements are followed and a large number of warships are sold, German Navy will only have 16 Capital Ships ships left within at least one year. Although, the number of 16 Capital Shipss is already quite a lot, and they are all powerful Capital Shipss. However, if it is scattered among various fleets, it seems slightly insufficient. After all, the interests that German Navy needs to take into consideration now are global.
Oscar nodded. "You are right, this will cause Imperial Navy to be empty of strength for a period of time. However, this is not serious. After all, Empire just defeated World War, and the strength of the Empire's enemies has been weakened to varying degrees. They no longer pose a threat to the Empire. Not to mention, in addition to these Capital Ships, Imperial Navy has six aircraft carriers. Even if all other countries add up, they cannot be Empire's opponent. As long as they persist for a year, Imperial Navy will have battleships in service. By then, Imperial Navy's strength will be on the right track and become more and more powerful."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded. He actually agrees with Oscar's point of view. After the war, German Navy was indeed too powerful. In addition, German Navy will soon have more cutting-edge Capital Ships entering service. It would be a complete waste of military expenditures to retain such a large number of Capital Ships teams. What's more, German Navy's senior officials know that the main force of the navy in the future will no longer be Capital Ships, but aircraft carriers. Only by building more aircraft carriers can German Navy become more powerful.
Later, Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz appeared in the banquet hall. His appearance immediately attracted the attention of others. After all, although Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz is older, he is the leader of German Navy. Even though everyone thinks he will retire soon, this does not hinder his influence.
"Everyone! I'm sorry to bother you all!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz's words reached everyone's ears through the microphone.
Everyone stopped talking or dancing and looked at Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz, wondering what he was going to say.
"Gentlemen! As we all know, German Empire is a peace-loving country. The war that just passed caused the countries involved in the war to pay a heavy price. There is no winner in this war." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
After listening to Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz's words, many people curled their lips in disdain. Germany is a peace-loving country? From the beginning of Germany's unification to now, Germany has fought many wars. Moreover, Germany won every war. It can be said that without those victories, there would be no powerful Germany now.
Besides, Germany is the biggest winner of this game, World War. Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz's words are completely mocking other countries!
"The war is over, and the world needs peace. In order to bring peace to the whole world, German Empire decided to sell a batch of warships. Of course, the price is very favorable. I hope that countries that are determined to build a powerful navy can seize this opportunity!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz continued.
Germany actually wants to sell a batch of battleships, which is beyond everyone's expectation. However, it's easy to understand in retrospect. After all, German Navy is powerful enough. Selling some warships can save a lot of military expenses.
"The warships for sale include Battleship, Battlecruiser, Armored Cruiser, Light Cruiser and destroyers. Here, I will only introduce to you the Capital Ships we want to sell. For other specific lists, interested friends can ask Naval Ministry. Imperial Navy will be released this time The Capital Ships for sale includes five 'Kaiser-class' Battleship, four 'Helgoland-class' Battleship, four 'Nassau-class' Battleship, three 'Moltke-class' Battlecruiser, and two 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser!" said Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz.
This made many people take a breath. Originally, they thought Germany was just a hint. But I didn't expect that Germany was actually playing for real. Just of these Capital Shipss for sale, there are as many as 13 Battleships and 5 Battlecruisers! With such a fleet composed of Capital Ships, no country in the world can compete with it except Germany. It can be said that after selling these Capital Ships, German Navy's strength has shrunk by nearly half. Of course, they have to admit that even if German Navy's strength has shrunk by half, no country can compete with it at this stage.
