The Eastern Empire really wanted to defeat the Russian Empire, wanted to retake the island of Hokkaido, and wanted to be humiliated.
However, they are not fools either. They knew very well that with the current strength of the Eastern Empire, it was impossible to be an opponent of the Tsarist Empire. Especially in a one-on-one situation, it is even more impossible for them to beat the Russian Empire.
Even if the Eastern Imperial Navy has the strength to rival the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Russian Imperial Navy. But the problem is that there are three other fleets of the Imperial Russian Navy!
The overall strength of the Russian Imperial Navy was almost three times that of the Eastern Imperial Navy.
Once the fight starts, they have no chance of winning at all. Even, on the contrary, it will be defeated by the Russian Empire again. Then, pay an even heavier price.
The reason why Yasuya Uchida wanted to hold General Yuzaburo Kato was because he was afraid that he would say something he shouldn’t say under impulse. In that case, the consequences will be serious!
General Yuzaburo Kato is not a fool, and naturally knows that he can’t be angry. Otherwise, if the Eastern Empire is defeated by the Russian Empire again. Then, I am afraid that he is a sinner of the Eastern Empire. Even if 01 is seppuku to apologize, it can’t get him off the sins!
Therefore, General Yuzaburo Kato also got off the donkey and said nothing more.
Such a brutal attitude of the Tsarist Empire made the sun not set unhappy.
In any case, the Oriental people are also their lackeys! The Russian Empire beat their dogs in front of them, this is simply not giving face to the Empire that does not set the sun!
If this is the case, then this meeting will not need to be held again, and the naval arms race will continue. Big deal, it’s just another big war!” said George Curzon, the foreign minister of the empire that never sets.
“The Russian Empire was not afraid of any threat. As you always say, caliber is truth, range is justice. Truth and justice are within the range of artillery. Even if the naval arms race continues, or even if a major war breaks out again, the empire will definitely not be frightened, let alone flinch!” replied Tsarist Imperial Foreign Minister Zicherin point-for-tat.
This undoubtedly made the situation at this meeting tense again.
Seeing this situation, the representatives of the lighthouse country had to play the round again.
“Well, everyone restrained their emotions, there is no need to fight-for-tat. Our purpose is for world peace. Of course, we must also ensure the interests of all countries as much as possible, and do not be angry!” said Robert Lansing, the second commander of the Lighthouse State.
Immediately, Joseph Daniels, Secretary of the Navy of the Lighthouse Nation, made a new proposal.
“Gentlemen, we believe that limits can be placed on the total tonnage of the capital ships of the navies of various countries, as well as on the tonnage of capital ships and the caliber of the main guns. If all countries strictly follow this limit, then the naval arms race will not continue, the international situation will be eased, and there will be no more tensions!” said Joseph Daniels.
After hearing this, the representatives of other countries could not help but frown.
It seems to be thinking about what kind of proposal the Lighthouse State intends to make next.
“First of all, in terms of the total tonnage of the Navy’s capital ships, both the Sun Never Set Empire and the Lighthouse Country can have 500,000 tons of capital ships. The Russian Empire could have capital ships of 400,000 tons. The Eastern Empire could have two hundred and fifty thousand tons of capital ships. Gaul has 175,000 tons of capital ships. Joseph Daniels said.
“What?”
This proposal of the lighthouse country immediately made the representatives of other countries exclaim.
Such a limit on the total tonnage of capital ships is absolutely unacceptable to all countries!
The Royal Navy of the Empire now has dozens of warships. Especially those battle cruisers under construction, all of which were thirty or forty thousand tons. Even the N3-class battleships and G3-class battlecruisers exceeded 50,000 tons.
If it were only half a million tons of capital ships, these warships would not be able to be built.
You can’t just retire all the other capital ships in order to build N3-class battleships and G3-class battleships. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
The Russian Empire was equally unacceptable. Although, for the time being, the Russian Empire had no plans to continue the construction of capital ships. However, with a total tonnage of 400,000 tons of capital ships, that is simply not enough!
You know, the Imperial Russian Navy now has a full 50 capital ships, and if the total tonnage is all combined, it is more than 1.2 million tons.
This is tantamount to decommissioning two-thirds of the capital ships of the Tsarist Empire and keeping only one-third, how is this possible?
The Eastern Empire was equally unacceptable. The tonnage of 250,000 tons of capital ships is only enough for six or seven capital ships. Aren’t the other capital ships going to be decommissioned?
The Eastern Empire tightened its belts to build so many capital ships. If you retire now, won’t the efforts of the Eastern Ocean Empire over the years be in vain?
The same is true of the Gauls, 175,000 tons of capital ships, which is too bullying. Even if the Gallic state did not have the ambition of massively developing the navy. But can’t they let their navy rank last in total tonnage347? This is simply a humiliation to the Gallic state!
“No, the Empire will definitely not be able to accept such conditions. Five hundred thousand tons of capital ships gross tonnage, which is too little for the empire. Besides, why does the Lighthouse Country have the same gross tonnage of capital ships as the Empire?” Count David Betty immediately objected.
The Royal Navy of the Empire is a sea hegemon, if they can only have a total tonnage of 500,000 tons of capital ships. So, how can the Lighthouse Country He De have the same tonnage of capital ships as the Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets?
“The Russian Empire is absolutely unacceptable either. No matter what the total tonnage of the capital ships of the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Lighthouse Country is, the Imperial Navy can never be less than you!”
“The Eastern Empire is also unable to accept such restrictions. If the sun never sets, the total tonnage of the capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Empire is only half a million tons. Then, the Imperial Navy will have 400,000 tons!” said Senior Admiral Yuzaburo Kato.
“The total tonnage of our navy’s capital ships is definitely not less than that of the Eastern Empire!” Minister Adolf Landry also began.
