“As the overlord of the sea, of course, we must respect the hegemony of the Sun Never Set Empire. Therefore, we believe that it is necessary to fully protect the interests of the empire that never sets. Therefore, in addition to the 45 dreadnoughts in active service, four Admiral-class battle cruisers of the Royal Navy can continue to be built and put into service. In this way, the Royal Navy of the Empire will have 49 dreadnoughts.
In addition, the Royal Navy can also build another dreadnought equipped with 16-inch and 406mm guns. This battleship can slightly exceed the limits of the treaty, outside the treaty. However, this type of battleship can only be built two!”
Beacon Nation Navy Secretary Joseph Daniels said.
Count David Betty suddenly frowned, and the conditions offered by the Lighthouse Country this time seemed to be better than the last time.
Before Count David Betty could decide how to speak, Joseph Daniels spoke again.
“The Russian Empire will retire five capital ships, bringing their capital ships down to 45.
And we, on the basis of the existing 19 dreadnoughts, in addition to the four Colorado-class battleships under construction, will also build 6 Lexington-class battlecruisers, which are also battleships beyond the limits of the treaty.
The number of dreadnoughts of the Eastern Empire was kept at 12, and no more warships could be built. If new ships are to be built, the old ships must be decommissioned.
On the Gallic side, there are seven dreadnoughts, and five more dreadnoughts can be built, reaching the scale of 12 dreadnoughts!
Gentlemen, this is already our deliberate decision. Moreover, the interests of all countries have been fully taken into account. It is hoped that all countries will accept this plan. After all, end the current naval arms race. For all countries, it is very advantageous. ”
Joseph Daniels said to the crowd.
Count David Betty, General Yuzaburo Kato, and Adolf Landry and others couldn’t help but frown and began to think about Joseph Daniels’ words.
“The Russian Empire agrees with this plan!” At this moment, Marshal Alexander, the Minister of the Navy of the Russian Empire, spoke.
And this makes other people feel tight.
“The Russians and the Beacon Nation have secretly agreed!” George Curzon, the foreign minister of the Empire that never sets, whispered in the ear of Count David Betty.
Count David Betty nodded, and he understood.
Other participants undoubtedly reached this understanding.
However, it also made them feel a lot of pressure.
The Russian Empire and the Beacon Empire are second only to the powerful countries of the Sun Empire in terms of naval strength. Once the two countries reach an agreement on this issue, even the Sun Never Sets Empire will have to weigh it.
“Your Excellency, what shall we do?” asked George Curzon.
“I’m afraid we’ll have to compromise. Otherwise, if the Russians and the Lighthouse State join forces on this issue, we will not be able to bear it. However, we still have to strive for as many interests as possible. Count David Betty whispered.
George Curzon nodded, and he knew that this might be the best way to go.
“The Lighthouse State built ten capital ships equipped with 406mm guns, the Russian Empire also had four battleships equipped with 410mm guns, and the Royal Navy built only two, which is not enough. We’re going to build six ships of this type!” said Count David Betty.
In this way, the number of capital ships of the Royal Navy will reach 55. Compared to the Russian Empire, which ranked second, there were 10 more. And in terms of large-caliber main battery capital ships, it has an overwhelming advantage.
“Six is too much, four at most!” said Joseph Daniels.
Count David Betty thought for a moment, but finally nodded. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
In this way, the number of capital ships of the Royal Navy remained at 53. Moreover, in the future, they can gradually retire the old dreadnoughts equipped with 305mm guns and build new warships. This will make the strength of the Royal Navy still the first in the world.
In this way, their maritime hegemony, and even world hegemony, will naturally be preserved.
“Well, the Sun Never Sets Empire accepts this plan!” said Count David Betty.
The sun did not set and people compromised, which also relieved Joseph Daniels and Marshal Alexander.
Next, the Gauls naturally had no objection to this plan. Although maintaining the size of 12 capital ships, the gap between the same empire, the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Lighthouse Country is somewhat too big. However, being able to be no worse than the Orientals, the Gauls are already satisfied.
The Oriental people are very dissatisfied with this, and they want to struggle again.
“The Empire could not accept the option of having only 12 dreadnoughts. We hope that we can have more dreadnoughts. For example, doubling it again brings the number of dreadnoughts of the Empire to 24. Senior General Yuzaburo Kato said.
The Eastern Empire cannot have 24 dreadnoughts. Otherwise, it will have a great impact on peace in the Far East and West Pacific and the world.817 Minister Joseph Daniels flatly refused.
This makes General Yuzaburo Kato’s face very ugly, and the Lighthouse Country is too bullying, right?
“In this way, we increase the number of dreadnoughts by another 6, bringing our dreadnoughts to 18. Uchida Yasuya, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Toyo Empire, said quickly.
“Don’t think about it, the Eastern Empire maintains 12 dreadnoughts, which is enough. If you don’t accept the plan, that’s okay, you can quit. “Marshal Alexander looked malicious.
This made General Yuzaburo Kato and the others look even more ugly.
He knew very well if the Eastern Empire refused to accept this plan. Then, if the Russian Empire is not good, it will find an opportunity to make a move on the Eastern Empire. And other countries, most likely, will not stop the Russians. Isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Russians to destroy the Oriental Imperial Navy, or even the entire Eastern Empire.
At that time, the Eastern Empire will fall into a place of irreparable disaster.
“We need to ask the country for instructions!” said Gen. Yuzaburo Kato.
He knew that even if the country learned the news, they were unable to refuse when the ghosts and animals in Europe and the United States had already reached an agreement. This plan is probably a foregone conclusion.
