The situation in the United States had temporarily come to an end. For the various states to declare independence and establish their own nations was not something that could be settled overnight.
Intelligence from the Americas reported that miniature kingdoms had already appeared in the United States. Quite a few tiny villages with only a thousand or eight hundred people had declared independence. It was just that no one had the time to pay attention to these children playing house!
At most, Ferdinand paid attention to the royal selection movements in already independent states such as the Texas Kingdom and the Alaska Kingdom. After all, the Gotha family was one of the foremost families in Europe, so naturally it had made the shortlist.
However, given the United States' peculiar national circumstances, there probably would not be a result anytime soon. At most, Ferdinand would lend a push from the shadows; personally charging into battle was best forgotten. A throne gained without legitimacy was never easy to sit securely upon!
Other than that, the biggest event was the division of the United States Navy. Twenty-eight capital ships and eight battlecruisers were the focus of the division. Naturally, only the great powers were qualified to share the spoils of the capital ships; for small countries, a few cruisers or destroyers would be enough.
The British Empire remained as domineering as ever, directly taking seventeen Dreadnoughts and four battlecruisers. Only then did Bulgaria, France, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Russian Empire divide what remained.
Of course, the reason the British could take so much was also because Ferdinand had pushed matters from behind the scenes. The navy was an aristocratic branch of service. With the Royal Navy's capital ships increasing by nearly half, its military expenditure would naturally have to rise as well!
