Germany's call for an arms control conference has generated an extremely enthusiastic response around the world. The frenzied development of armaments by the major powers has already frightened other small countries. After all, their national strength is weak, and even if they want to join it, they don't have that capital! No one is sure that after the military strength of those great powers is improved, they will attack them before the decisive battle, and after annexing them, they will increase their own strength. If that's the case, they won't be able to resist at all!

Now, Germany, the world hegemon, has come forward and called on all countries to control the development of military power, which is undoubtedly in their interests. Therefore, all countries expressed their appreciation. Even if they are not qualified to participate, if the major powers can really agree on the conference and control the military power, there are many benefits for them.

In the face of Germany's invitation, the United States, the island nations, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy reacted differently. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was now barely a big country, but the country was relatively poor and financially strained, and there was not much money to invest in military development. In addition to the previous purchase of three capital ships from Germany, Germany was entrusted with the construction of two capital ships. For such naval strength, they are already very satisfied. This time I attended the meeting, and it was just the role of playing soy sauce...

As for the Kingdom of Italy, when Germany declared war on Austria-Hungary, the Kingdom of Italy seized this opportunity and also declared war on Austria-Hungary, not only sending troops to recover Venice and other places occupied by Austria-Hungary, but also further easing relations with Germany and siding with Germany. Therefore, Germany graciously allowed the Kingdom of Italy to rebuild its navy.

The United States is undoubtedly rather disgusted by Germany's invitation. It was with great difficulty that they decided to let go of their hands and feet and develop their military strength well. However, the Germans made such a request. The U.S. government wanted to refuse, but after seeing the cries of other countries around the world, they knew that if they refused, the Germans would not hesitate to put the label of destroying peace on their heads. Therefore, the US government had no choice but to say that it would send a delegation to Berlin to attend the conference and was willing to make its own contribution to world peace.

The same is true of the island countries, especially the navies of the island countries, which managed to convince the cabinet and began preparations for the design and construction of subsequent battleships. Now the Germans have jumped out to restrain them, which of course will not make them agree. If they are restricted, how will they seek revenge on Germany in the future! However, since the United States, the backer behind them, has said that it wants to participate in the meeting, they have no choice but to participate. However, Senior Admiral Yuzaburo Kato, Minister of the Navy of the island country, has already made a statement within the navy that he will certainly ensure that the interests of the navy of the island country will not be harmed.

The Berlin conference was scheduled for September 8. Delegations from all over the world will arrive in Berlin before then.

The main leaders of the U.S. delegation were Secretary of State Brian and Secretary of the Navy Daniels, the main leaders of the island delegation were Foreign Minister Ichiro Motono and Senior General Tomozaburo Kato, the delegation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was headed by Grand Vichiel (equivalent to Prime Minister or Prime Minister) Aisi and Admiral Fatih Pasha, and the Kingdom of Italy was represented by Prime Minister Orlando and Minister of the Navy Francisco.

Since September 0, these delegations have arrived in Berlin one after another. The delegation of the farthest island nation was the first to arrive.

Although the islanders hate Germany, they grit their teeth, but on the surface, they are very respectful. This is mainly because the island people worship the strong by nature, and even if they are resentful, they are buried deep in their hearts.

Germany's current strength is undoubtedly very envied and even envied by the people of the island nation. If they had such a strong strength as Germany, I am afraid that they would have already dominated the world long ago.

Within a few days, delegations from several other countries had arrived. The delegations of the island countries and the United States even held a secret meeting. As the younger brother of the United States, the islanders are very self-aware. They know very well that this time they must be consistent with the United States. Only in this way can it be ensured that their interests will not be compromised.

"Your Excellency, what do the Germans want to do when they convene an arms control conference this time?" Ichiro Motono, the foreign minister of the island, asked.

The Germans did this for two purposes. One is to pretend to be working for peace in order to change their international image. However, everyone knows that the Germans are the biggest destroyers of world peace. The second purpose is undoubtedly to suppress the development of our military strength. Although, now we are much weaker than the Germans. However, the speed of our development has already made them feel threatened. That's why they want to suppress us in this way. Brian said.

"We must not allow the Germans to carry out their conspiracy!" Admiral Yuzaburo Kato, the prime minister of the island nation, said.

However, the navy of the island country has already formulated a series of development plans, and they will start construction of two 'Nagato-class' battleships and two 'Kaga-class' battleships, and even four more 'Kii-class' battleships have begun to be designed. All these will enable the strength of the island country's navy to take off. If they are restricted, then their efforts will be in vain. If you want to defeat Germany and take revenge, that is a distant thing.

"Of course we have to oppose the German conspiracy. Restrictions are not only limited to us, but also to Germany's military strength. That's fair. The Germans can't just limit our military strength without limiting them, right? In that case, what fairness is there? Even if we do not accept their conditions and the conference cannot be agreed, it is not our fault, and I believe that other countries will recognize the despicable face of the Germans. Minister Daniels said.

Ichiro Honno and General Yuzaburo Kato nodded again and again. Obviously, at this Berlin conference, they will advance and retreat together.

While the delegation of the United States and the delegation of the island countries met in secret, the delegation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the delegation of the Kingdom of Italy were received by the German Kaiser Qin Tian. The heads of the delegations of the two countries even assured Qin Tian that they would be in line with Germany. Both of these countries can be regarded as close proximity to Germany. They knew very well that if they offended Germany, the consequences would be very serious. Besides, they also do not have the financial resources to develop the navy, and it is not easy to give Germany a face.
