Chapter Eighty-Five: The Shock of the British

A smile of relief appeared on Wilhelm II's face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoThat's right, the enemies of the German Empire, although very powerful, had the most powerful army in the world, as well as a navy that was in the midst of rapid development. Even in the face of many powerful countries, they are not without a chance of winning future wars.

"It's best if people can have confidence. I believe that God will bless the Germanic peoples. In the future war, even if we face the siege of many powerful countries, the final victory will definitely be ours! Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

Qin Tian looked at everyone's performance and nodded secretly. Because of his efforts, the German Navy has embarked on a completely different path of development. Capital ships, which are more powerful than the capital ships of the British Navy, are being launched and built at a rapid pace. This would give the German Navy the opportunity to catch up with or even overtake the British Navy. Even in numbers, it may not be a match for the British Navy. However, the performance of a single ship is definitely capable of crushing the British Navy. In this case, once a war breaks out in the future, the German Navy still has a good chance of winning.

If the German Navy can defeat the British Navy and win the decisive battle at sea. So, will Germany still be dragged to death by the Entente as it has done historically? I'm afraid that kind of history will not repeat itself. As long as it could obtain a steady stream of materials needed for the war through overseas trade, Germany would be able to continue the war. Even if you end up fighting and losing both, it's better than losing. Besides, Qin Tian was trying to accumulate enough war materials for Germany before the war broke out, so that Germany would not be in trouble in these aspects. In addition, Qin Tian's plan to arm Germany with various new weapons will further enhance Germany's military strength, so that Germany will have a greater chance of winning in future wars.

"It would have been great if Germany had defeated the British navy at the beginning of the war, and at the same time inflicted heavy losses on the French on land. In that case, Germany would be able to spend a lot of money on Britain and France in a short time, and the rest of Russia and Italy would not be a cause for concern. Qin Tian thought secretly.

Changing the fate of Germany's defeat in World War I and winning the war for Germany was Qin Tian's goal. All the while, he worked hard for that. Although, it is very difficult to achieve this goal. But, at least, they are moving closer to this goal. Qin Tian believed that as long as all his plans could succeed before the outbreak of war, then Germany would definitely be able to win the future war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the face of the trilateral alliance of Britain, France and Russia, the Empire is powerless to stop it. The only thing we can do is to make all-out preparations for war and further strengthen our military strength, so that we can defeat our enemies with strong military force and win the war after the outbreak of war. I believe that as long as we unite and work hard to achieve all this, the future victory will definitely be ours. Wilhelm II said confidently.

"Victory belongs to the German Empire, and the Empire will win!" Ministers are confident about the future.

The German shipyard, although it was not long before this shipyard became a large shipyard of the Reich. However, it undertook the construction of most of the capital ships of the Imperial Navy. Four 'Nassau-class' battleships, the lead ship of the 'Helgolan-class' battleships 'Helgolan', three 'Blucher-class' battlecruisers. Of these, four 'Nassau-class' battleships and three 'Blucher-class' battlecruisers have already begun to be launched and outfitted. The Nassau-class battleships, which are being built the fastest, are expected to be completed and delivered to the German Navy by the end of this year. At that time, the German Navy will also enter the era of dreadnoughts.

And Qin Tian was also prepared that after these slipways were vacated and the workers were free, the construction of the next level of capital ships would begin. After the 'Blucher-class' battlecruisers, the German Navy needed to have a more powerful battlecruiser. and, the new capital ship of the first class after the battleships of the 'Helgoland class'.

These capital ships, which were continuously built and put into service, would become the backbone of the German Navy and a powerful guarantee for the German Navy to defeat the British Navy.

The British Navy was also very concerned about the German Navy's shipbuilding program. As early as the pre-dreadnought era, the German Navy began to build a large number of battleships, which put great pressure on the British Navy. Although, the capital ships of the British Navy still occupy an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. But no one can guarantee that as the German Navy builds capital ships faster and faster, it will quickly overtake the British Navy.

Fortunately, the British Navy's 'Dreadnought' was put into service, making all those old dreadnoughts obsolete overnight. The superiority of the British Navy, instead of being reduced, began to expand. It seems that the British Navy is once again ahead of the navies of all countries in the world, leading the trend of naval development.

Just when the British thought they could sit back and relax, the German navy was still catching up. In addition, on the new capital ships, it will continue to compete with the British Navy. Although the German Navy has not yet completed a new capital ship in service, there are quite a few of those capital ships under construction. Once it is put into service in large quantities, it will inevitably pose a greater threat to the British Navy.

In September 1907, a piece of information was sent to the British Admiralty, John Anderson. Sir Fisher's desk, with several photographs attached to the information. It can be clearly seen that it is several huge capital ships that are being outfitted, and even the main guns have been installed.

"Oh God! Is this the new capital ship of the Germans? The displacement is larger than that of the capital ships of the Imperial Navy. The caliber of the main gun, too, is 305 mm. The deployment of three triple guns along the central axis is undoubtedly a first, and such a layout seems to be better than the layout of the capital ships of the British Imperial Navy. Could it be that they have already solved the problem of the accuracy of the triple main gun? It's hard to imagine that such a design was made by the Germans. What's more, their new capital ship seems to be ready for service soon. "John? Sir Fisher looked shocked and exclaimed. As the head of the Royal Navy of the British Empire and the initiator of the Dreadnought Project, he was undoubtedly the one who led the development of the world's navies. But now, he was still shocked by the German navy.

"Come on, prepare the car, I want to go to the Prime Minister's Office immediately!" John? Sir Fisher commanded.
