The day after the parade ended, Qin Tian and Feng? Kidren? Washit boarded the battleship 'Nassau' and set off for Germany. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoPrince Edward personally rushed to the docks to see them off, demonstrating the friendship between Britain and Germany.

The British Navy's parade was undoubtedly shocking. The whole world was shocked by the sheer strength of the Royal Navy. Some countries have even firmly believed that the British Empire is the most powerful country on the planet.

Of course, there are also countries that have decided to increase their investment in the navy because of this. For example, the Americans on the other side of the ocean, with their deep pockets, have enough financial resources to carry out an arms race. The small countries of the East have also strengthened their belief in developing their navies. They have a lot in common with the British, and since the British can become the world hegemon in one fell swoop, they believe that they too could become the next British Empire.

As for Qin Tian, he saw the external strength of the British Empire. The British Empire once dominated the four seas, and some people were not convinced, so they directly sent a powerful navy to teach each other a lesson. But now, the wolves are looking around, and Britain, which has begun to decline, can only use the parade as a way to show off its force to deter other countries and consolidate its position.

What's more, Germany has already set the goal of overthrowing Britain and replacing it, how can it be frightened by the British showing off their force? The battleships of the British participating in the parade, except for the cutting-edge dreadnoughts, the rest were old former dreadnoughts. For Germany, this is not a threat at all. As long as the German Navy defeated Britain in terms of dreadnoughts, the remaining former dreadnoughts of the British Navy were completely at their disposal.

After the representatives and envoys of various countries left Britain, British society gradually returned to calm. Although, the king has changed. But it did not have any impact on the political situation in the United Kingdom. Under the constitutional monarchy, the power of the king has been greatly reduced, and there is not much real power at all. Almost all the power of the country is in the hands of the cabinet headed by the prime minister.

British Prime Minister Herbert? Henry? Asquith convened a cabinet meeting. In the previous Cabinet, he was Chancellor of the Exchequer. At the end of the previous Prime Minister's term, he succeeded in becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

It's just that Prime Minister Asquith doesn't think the position of prime minister is a beauty difference. When others were prime ministers, Britain was a world of peace and power. However, when he was prime minister, the situation was becoming increasingly tense. The Germans were becoming more and more aggressive at sea, wanting to challenge the British for supremacy at sea. The Americans on the other side of the ocean, relying on their industrial output value to rank first in the world, are also unwilling to be just an industrial power, not a world-class military power. Despite the co-optation of France and Russia, Prime Minister Asquith is still not sure of victory in a future war.

Then King George V ascended the throne and held a grand parade to deter other countries, which was the decision of the cabinet.

"Gentlemen, how was the effect of our parade this time?" Prime Minister Asquith asked excitedly.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, our parade has been very effective. At the very least, many countries were stunned by the Royal Navy. Secretary of the Navy McKenna smiled.

"Very good, very good, that's what I want. Let the whole world know that the Royal Navy of the British Empire is still the most powerful navy in the world. Any attempt to provoke the British Empire would be crushed by the mighty Royal Navy. Prime Minister Asquith said excitedly.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, our French and Russian allies are envious of the strength of the Royal Navy. They also want to build a strong navy. "Foreign Secretary Edward? Sir Grey said.

"No, no! The task of the French and Russians was to develop an army and contain the Germans on land. The task of developing the navy and defeating the German navy was left to the Royal Navy. I am sure that the Royal Navy will do a good job of this task. Prime Minister Asquith said with a smile. The strength of the Royal Navy made him find self-confidence, and the hegemony of the British Empire was still impregnable.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right. The mighty Royal Navy will definitely be able to beat the Germans with a stream of urine and pee, looking for teeth all over the ground. Just like the Spaniards, the Dutch and the French, they were defeated by us again and again. No one was able to snatch sea power from the hands of the British Empire. "Colonial Secretary Lewis? Vernon? Harcourt said. The reason why Britain was able to seize so many colonies in the world was inseparable from the strength of the Royal Navy. Without a strong navy, Britain's colonies would have been seized by someone else.

All the ministers laughed, and everyone was very optimistic about the future situation, believing that Britain would be able to defeat Germany and other enemies and defend their world hegemony.

However, among the many cabinet ministers, there was one man who did not have a smile on his face, and his mind was not carried away by the success of this parade. This man is Churchill. Although, now he is the Home Secretary of the Cabinet, he also served as the Minister of the Navy before becoming the Home Secretary. For the situation in the Navy, very well understood.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, gentlemen. Everyone seems to be overly optimistic about the current situation. Perhaps, I don't like what I'm saying. However, this is the case. If we insist on arrogance, the British Empire may face a crushing defeat in the future. That would cause us to lose our hegemony in the world. Lost hegemony, lost overseas colonies. Will the British Empire still be strong then? I'm afraid it will be reduced from a world hegemon to a second-rate country. Therefore, we must not continue to be blindly optimistic, we must heighten our vigilance and do our utmost to develop our military strength. In this way, it may be possible to defend the hegemony of the British Empire! Churchill said with a serious face.

Indeed, Churchill's words did not sound very well to other ministers, and many people's faces became unpleasant. They even want to make a rebuttal if they can.

Prime Minister Asquith didn't care about Churchill's words. He already valued Churchill very much, otherwise he would not have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. If Churchill had a unique idea, he would have been willing to adopt it.

"Your Excellency Churchill, do you have any suggestions?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.
