To fully demonstrate the power of this Brunswick-class battleship to Arthur, William II specifically ordered the German Navy to take the massive warship out and make two circuits of the western Baltic Sea.
Although the battleship looked enormous, it was actually not that cumbersome once it got moving.
Watching a behemoth weighing over ten thousand tons roam so freely across the sea, one could not help admiring the transformations and improvements technology had brought to humanity.
At the same time, Arthur looked forward even more eagerly to the birth of dreadnoughts. As a new type of main warship that surpassed battleships in every respect, dreadnoughts had also made considerable progress in speed.
Pre-Dreadnoughts generally had speeds of around seventeen to eighteen knots, while Dreadnought-class battleships normally reached a terrifying twenty-one knots, to say nothing of the other main battleships that various countries would later build based on the Dreadnought design.
After disembarking, Arthur and William II rode in the same automobile and began their journey back to Berlin.
It was only once they were in the car that Arthur remembered he still had one matter to handle: acquiring automobile production technology.
Although automobile technology had yet to make any revolutionary advances in this era, leaving cars as a luxury enjoyed only by wealthy families,

With the launch of the Model T only a few years away, he had to act quickly if he wanted to plan for the European automobile market.
At present, automobiles mainly faced two problems: stability and price.
Most automobiles were still handmade. Not only was production extremely slow, but problems also
