The Third Reich: The Return of the King

The sun never sets on the Prime Minister and members of the Cabinet, especially the Minister of the Navy, who are particularly concerned about the news that the Hans Navy has launched a new warship!

“General Betty, what do you think of Hans’s battleship?”

Prime Minister George doesn’t know much about the military, so he has no idea about the large series of numbers handed to him.

However, leaving professional matters to professional people is the dogma he has always believed in, and this At this time, the person in front of him was the most professional person!

Marshal Betty, 52 years old, was a combat hero in the Royal Navy during World War I. He participated in many operations to hunt down the Hans Navy, and also participated in the Japanese The decisive battle of the Battle of Deland, so it has a high prestige in the navy!

Prime Minister George believes that with his professional vision, he can definitely see the reality of this Hans warship. If this warship is powerful, If so, then they must be more vigilant, but if the performance of this ship is mediocre, then they don’t need to be so strict on guarding against Hans!

General Betty took the appearance drawing and detailed data of the Admiral Hipper. I read the document carefully several times.

“This battleship should not be a battleship!”

This is his first impression!

“oh? Why are you so sure?”

Battleships are the main battleships of the navies of various countries now. If Hans doesn’t build battleships, then what are they going to do?

“Two reasons:

First, the caliber of the main gun of this warship is too small. The 203 mm main gun cannot be compared to a battleship, let alone an armored cruiser!”

Before World War I, there was only the concept of cruiser, not heavy cruiser. At that time, there were two types of warships, one was the armored cruiser and the other was the dome-armored cruiser.

These two types of warships were quite strange, so in World War I After that, they were eliminated, and heavy cruisers began to take their place. From the perspective of inheritance, heavy cruisers were an extension of armored cruisers, so General Betty was ranked first after seeing the parameters of Admiral Hipper. Time thought of armored cruisers, but even for armored cruisers, the caliber of this thing’s main gun was larger than that of Hipper!

Among the armored cruisers produced by the Royal Navy in the late 19th century, some had a tonnage of more than 8,000 tons, and the caliber was larger than that of the Hipper! The tonnage of Hans’s warship , which is over 234 meters, is as high as 10,000 tons, but the main gun is only 203 mm. This is really strange!

“What about the second reason?”

“Huh, the second reason is that the armor of this thing is too thin. A mere 0 mm of waterline armor may not even be able to protect against 180 mm artillery shells. If it encounters the 381 mm cannon of the main battleship, it will be a balloon. One shot can send them to God!”

It can be heard from Marshal Betty’s mouth that he despises Hans’ new warship very much!

In fact, it is not only he who despises Hans’s navy, but also the traditional veterans of the Royal Navy. They all regard this enemy. Very contemptuous.

Although the Hans caused a lot of trouble to the Royal Navy in World War I, it was the Royal Navy that had the last laugh. Even though the Royal Navy suffered a large loss in the Battle of Jutland, it still lost a lot of money to the High Seas Fleet. After the war , Hans’ high seas fleet could only huddle in the port and never come!

In the eyes of the Royal Navy officers, isn’t this a sign that the Hans people are afraid of them?

The new warships before World War I were powerful, but they also had many problems. These problems may not be obvious to the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of those who are truly knowledgeable, these problems will become fatal factors that affect their combat effectiveness!

From this point of view, Marshal Betty and the Royal Navy he represents are qualified to look down on Hans. After all, compared to the man who has been the world’s hegemon for hundreds of years, Hans’s experience in the navy is really Lackluster!

Almost all of their warships are poor imitations after the Royal Navy launched new warships.

How can they be as good as genuine products?

“So that’s it, I understand, if that’s the case, then we don’t need to worry too much about Hans!”

Prime Minister George breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually a little worried that the Hans people would take risks and try to break through the Treaty of Versailles.

If the Hans people really did this, it would be impossible to ignore them until the sun never sets!

But right now, the sun never sets. Their energy is really limited, and they have exhausted a lot of effort in the Mao Xiong Civil War. Because of the unfavorable battle situation ahead, the Sun Never Sets had to postpone the Washington City meeting originally held in February this year! He planned to propose restrictions on the meaningless naval arms race of various countries at the Washington City meeting, but it was delayed because of the matter with the bear!

This time, Marshal Betty came to him, partly because Hans went into the water. Another reason is that the navy hopes that the government can allocate another amount of money so that they can build more warships. During this period, Yingjiang and Tiaoba have invested heavily in building warships. The Royal Navy was terrified!

Although both countries participated in World War I, they suffered little or no losses in the war. On the contrary, they gained a lot from the war. There is still enough strength to expand the military after the war, but the exhausted European countries are unable to accompany these two countries in the arms race!

Therefore, there are only two paths before the Royal Navy:

First, either the government Hurry up and allocate funds so that they can join the arms race and order more warships to overwhelm these two countries in terms of numbers, thereby continuing to maintain the Royal Navy’s advantage.

Second, either the government should hurry up to coordinate and put pressure on these two countries. Countries give up the orders they have placed and cancel their battleship construction plans. In this way, the Royal Navy can maintain its advantage over these countries with the existing scale of battleships.

No matter which plan it is, the government must now! We need to act as soon as possible!

If this delay continues, the situation will not be good!

Doesn’t Prime Minister George know this?

The MI6 intelligence center in North America had already sent him a telegram and told him half a year ago. The amazing shipbuilding plan of the Yingjiang people!

Stimulated by the First World War, Yingjiang realized that there was a big gap between their navy and the world’s overlords, and their Great White Fleet was facing the Royal Navy. The navy’s home fleet, or facing Hans’s high seas fleet, was in a disadvantageous position of being beaten and unable to fight back!

In the first battle, Hans’s high seas fleet was already very powerful, close to 70% of the Royal Navy. strength, but even so, they were still defeated by the Royal Navy and blocked in the port!

The encounter of the High Seas Fleet and the powerful strength of the Royal Navy deeply stimulated the people of Yingjiang. You must know that the main cities of Yingjiang can Almost all of them are near the east coastline!

Once a war breaks out, these cities will suffer!

Therefore, in order to avoid making the same mistake as Hans in the future, the Royal Navy will block the coastline. The three-year shipbuilding plan proposed after World War I planned to build at least 20 new main warships!

The wealthy Yingjiang people began to allocate funds in 1917 and placed a large number of orders with the shipyard, including 6 South Dakotas. -class battleships, 6 Lexton-class battleships, plus those under construction in West Virginia, Colorado, Washington City, Maryland, and Eagle Sauce that are under construction and have been launched, the number of the Navy’s main battleships will reach sixteen!

This number has exceeded the High Seas Fleet, which once posed a huge threat to the Royal Navy!

If you add the Great White Fleet before Eagle Sauce, the Royal Navy will no longer have any advantage when facing Eagle Sauce!

This piece of information made the Sun Never Set man unable to sit still!

If the Ribuluo people hadn’t been severely injured in the battle, they would probably have brought their fleet to kill them now and bomb all of Yingjiang’s shipyards! _Please download the novel without underlining
