The arms control meeting continues, but in reality it doesn't make much sense anymore. Germany, the United States, and the island countries could not reach an agreement on the tonnage of capital ships at all, which made it completely unnecessary for this meeting to continue.

The German delegation insisted on 1.5 million tons and resolutely disagreed that the total tonnage of capital ships of the United States and the island countries should exceed this tonnage, but the United States and the island countries wanted to increase the total tonnage of the capital ships of the two countries to 2.1 million tons. As long as Germany is allowed to make concessions on the first class of ships and succeed, then they can further oppress Germany in the subsequent tonnage negotiations.

But alas, Germany is, after all, the world hegemon, the most powerful country on the planet. Even if the United States is strong, the island nation is not weak in terms of war strength alone. But even if they join forces, Germany will not be afraid. This arms control conference is just a cover for the whole world to see Germany's sincerity in safeguarding world peace. If you can succeed, it will be the best. Then, even if it fails, it will not have much impact on Germany.

For a week, the representatives of our side still could not reach an agreement. Under these circumstances, Reich Chancellor Bilo had to announce on behalf of the German Empire that the Arms Control Conference could not reach an agreement and that it would be discontinued.

However, as soon as the meeting was interrupted, German Foreign Minister Washitt announced at a press conference that the reason why the meeting could not proceed was entirely because the United States and the island nation opened their mouths, and Germany, as the world hegemon and the most powerful country in the world, had tolerated that the two countries together could have the same tonnage of capital ships as the German Navy. However, they are not yet satisfied, and they still want to surpass Germany, and such a result is absolutely unacceptable to Germany. After all, Germany is the world hegemon, with the largest colonies in the world and huge overseas interests to protect.

For the sake of world peace, Germany has made its best efforts and concessions. However, because of the United States and the island countries, the current arms control conference could not continue, and world peace could not be realized.

There is no doubt that this time Germany has completely put the on the representatives of the United States and the island countries for undermining world peace. And most of the people of the world agree with this. After all, as the most powerful country in the world, it is already very good that Germany can do this. It is too undesirable for the United States and the island nations to want to surpass Germany.

For a time, the international reputation of the United States and the island countries was greatly hit.

The last world war, although mainly broke out in Europe. However, the tragic losses caused shocked all countries in the world. People around the world are even more worried about whether the outbreak of World War II will be triggered by the increasing tension in the international situation. Will the scope extend beyond Europe to the rest of the world? After all, the United States is located in the Americas, and the island countries are the countries of the Far East. If they had gone to war with Germany, the world war would have become a veritable world war.

The United States and the island nations, of course, will justify this. They also put the blame on Germany, claiming that Germany was too strong and wanted to suppress them, which led to the failure of the arms control conference to achieve any results. It's just that even if they have defended, there are not many voices in the international community that are inclined to them. After all, it seems natural that Germany is the world hegemon, with as much capital ship tonnage as the United States and the island nations combined.

What's more, the German Navy is no longer going to build new capital ships, it is enough to maintain the current fleet size. But the United States and island nations are still ambitious to build more capital ships! From this point of view, it seems that who is more aggressive can be seen at a glance.

"Damn the Germans, this arms control meeting is a trap at all! In order to show in front of the people of the world and show their sincerity in defending world peace. Now, the responsibility for undermining world peace has been put on our heads! President Woodrow Wilson was speechless.

"Your Excellency, although we have already defended ourselves, but the effect does not seem to be great? After all, it is now that we are building warships in large quantities, which makes other countries, subconsciously, think that we are destroying the peace. Secretary of State Brian said speechlessly.

After the arms control meeting, the United States delegation departed for the United States. However, while they were still on the road, Germany began to propagandize, and the responsibility for the failure of the MPC was all placed on their heads. By the time Brian and the others got the news, it was obviously over.

"This time it was all a German conspiracy, and we have fallen into their conspiracy. Besides, everything else is useless. Thankfully, this has only taken a toll on our reputation, and it's not a big deal. President Woodrow Wilson said.

Brian nodded.

"Your Excellency Daniels, the construction of ships in the Navy, continue, without interference from the outside world. I think that the Germans did this in order to affect the development of our armaments. As long as we are not fooled, the Germans will have nothing to do with us. After all, in the future war, we will do our best to win. As long as the war is won, then everything is easy to say. History is told by the victors! Woodrow Wilson said.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Minister Daniels nodded, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he was worried that under the influence of public opinion, the US Navy's shipbuilding plan would not be affected. But now it seems that he is overthinking.

As for the islanders, who are also criticized, they don't care about these international public opinions. They have always done their own thing, and as long as they can get the benefits, that's enough.

The goal of the islanders has always been very clear. They just wanted to defeat Germany, take revenge, and then occupy all the German colonies in the Far East and India. In this way, their country will be able to take off quickly.

As the United States, island countries, and other countries continue to frantically develop armaments, the international situation has become more tense. However, the development of armaments requires burning money. As the financial pressure on the United States and island countries is increasing, they cannot help but slow down the pace of arms expansion.
