On the morning of September 18, 1918, the arms control conference was officially convened in the conference room of the German Chancellery, and the representatives of various countries arrived here on time. Everyone knows that this meeting will definitely be full of verbal strife, and it will not go very well.

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for being able to come to Berlin for this arms control conference and for working for world peace. The German Empire was a peace-loving country. We hope that the tense international situation will be eased. I hope that all countries can work together with us! Imperial Prime Minister Bilo said with a smile on his face.

However, the representatives of other countries, Bilo's words, scoffed. If Germany could be regarded as a peace-loving country, then the last world war would not have broken out. Germany's vast colonial empire will no longer exist.

"Next, let's discuss the specific content of this arms control meeting!" Prime Minister Bilo left the conference room after speaking. The representatives of the German side this time were Foreign Minister Vahit and Admiral Reinhardt? Field Marshal Scheer. Prime Minister Bilow was just the beginning of presiding over the meeting. Of course, this is mainly because the German top brass did not think that this meeting would be a success, so Prime Minister Birlow will not waste too much time on it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have found that the investment of all countries in naval armaments is now increasing. This has not only put great pressure on the finances of countries. At the same time, it has also seriously affected world peace and stability. That's why we want to control naval armaments first. German Foreign Minister Vashit said.

"Your Excellency, I wonder what the German side has to say about this?" U.S. Secretary of State Brian Stable.

"The German Reich wanted an accurate value for the tonnage of capital ships, aircraft carriers, cruisers in various countries. If this value is reached, it is not possible to rebuild a new ship until the old one is dismantled. In this case, the size of the navy will be limited. And world peace will also be maintained. "Reich Admiralty Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer said.

The representatives of the United States and island countries attending the meeting frowned. They did not expect that Germany would control its naval power in such a way. This means, then, that if they want to gain a more powerful navy, they need to get more tonnage of ships.

"Your Excellency Marshal, I don't know how the tonnage of these ships is distributed?" Admiral Yuzaburo Kato asked.

"The Reich made a division based on the size of the German navy. For example, in terms of capital ships, the empire is 1, the United States is 0.4, the island nation is 0.2, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is 0.1, and the Kingdom of Italy is 0.1. That is, the tonnage of the capital ships of the German Imperial Navy is 1.5 million tons, the tonnage of the capital ships of the United States is 600,000 tons, the tonnage of the capital ships of the island countries is 300,000 tons, the tonnage of the capital ships of the Ottoman Turkish Empire is 150,000 tons, and the tonnage of the capital ships of the Kingdom of Italy is 150,000 tons! "Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer said.

Reinhart? As soon as Marshal Scheer finished speaking, the faces of the representatives of the United States and the island countries became very ugly. But the representatives of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Kingdom of Italy, as if they had known this for a long time, did not show anything else.

"It is entirely fitting that the German Empire is the first power in the world, with a tonnage of one and a half million capital ships." Said the Ottoman Grand Tychic El Aisi.

"Yes, such a distribution scheme is very reasonable!" Italian Prime Minister Orlando also said.

The representatives of the United States and the island countries were almost blown up. The tonnage of the capital ships of Germany alone exceeds that of the other four countries combined. If that's all reasonable, then what's not reasonable? If such a distribution plan is really followed, the United States and the island countries together will only be 60 percent of Germany's. When the time comes, they want to defeat the German Navy, which is simply delusional.

"Your Excellency, such a distribution scheme is unacceptable to the Republic of America. We believe that, with the military strength, international standing, and industrial output of the United States, we should acquire capital ships of the same size as the German Empire. Namely, the tonnage of the capital ship of one and a half million tons! US Secretary of the Navy Daniels said.

Although the US Navy now has only 11 capital ships, the total tonnage is less than 400,000 tons. However, in the follow-up plans of the US Navy, they will also build more than 15 capital ships. Moreover, those are powerful capital ships with thick armor and 410 mm guns, with a tonnage of at least about 50,000 tons, or even more. In that case, the tonnage of the capital ships of the US Navy, even if it does not reach 1.5 million tons, will not be much different. If it is limited to 600,000 tons, then the US Navy will not be able to implement those plans. This is absolutely unacceptable to the US Navy.

"The navy of the island country cannot accept the scale of 300,000 tons, and we must at least reach 80% of the scale of the German navy, that is, 1.2 million tons!" Senior General Yuzaburo Kato, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the island country, also said.

Although the combined number of 'Fuso-class' battleships already in service and the 'Ise-class' battleships that will soon be commissioned by the navy of the island countries are less than 140,000 tons. In addition to the two levels and four battleships that will be built in the future, the total tonnage of the capital ships is less than 300,000 tons. However, how can the navy of the island country meet the scale of 300,000 tons of capital ships? If they were limited to this scale, they would not even be able to defeat the German Navy's Pacific Fleet, let alone the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet. Therefore, Admiral Yuzaburo Kato directly opened his mouth and demanded a total tonnage of 1.2 million tons of capital ships. In this way, they will be able to easily defeat the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet.

German Foreign Minister Vachit and Admiralty Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer, his face suddenly did not look good. Originally, they wanted to limit the tonnage of capital ships of the United States and island nations to less than that of the German Navy. No matter how bad it is, it will make the tonnage of the capital ships of the German Navy equal to the tonnage of the capital ships of the United States and island countries. However, the two countries are now more outrageous than the other. The United States directly demanded the same scale as Germany, and even the island countries dared to open their mouths and demand 80 percent of the tonnage of Germany's capital ships. If they were promised, then the German Navy would not have the slightest advantage in terms of capital ships, or even be at a disadvantage. Such an outcome is obviously not what Germany wants to see, and it is also absolutely unacceptable to them.
