Although, the trend of aircraft carriers becoming the main force in naval warfare has become unstoppable. However, at this stage, aircraft carriers are not yet able to completely replace capital ships. In many specific battlefields, the role of capital ships is still irreplaceable.

Moreover, among the generals of the German Navy, there were still many people who believed in the cannons of giant ships. It would be unrealistic to cancel the capital ship all at once. What's more, in the minds of many people, the capital ship is still a symbol of strength.

The German Navy, with these capital ships, will become even more powerful.

"The four 'New Iron Duke class' battleships of the British, named 'Nassau-class' battleships, four 'New George V-class' battleships, named 'Helgoland-class' battleships, and four 'Lion-class' battleships named 'Caesar-class' battleships! Three 'Prestige-class' battlecruisers were named 'Blucher-class' battlecruisers, three 'Glorious-class' battlecruisers were named 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers, and four 'Hood-class' battlecruisers were named 'brandenburg-class' battlecruisers! Qin Tian continued.

Qin Tian directly changed the names of the 12 battleships and 10 battlecruisers he had obtained from the British. All of them used the names of the battleships and battlecruisers that the German Navy had decommissioned this time, and even included the names of the first class of former dreadnoughts built by the German Navy.

The strength of the German navy was not weakened by the decommissioning of a large number of capital ships, but was strengthened by the addition of a large number of warships acquired from the British.

"In addition to these capital ships, the Imperial Navy will continue to build aircraft carriers over the next decade. The current aircraft carriers, carrying too few warplanes. Moreover, the performance of carrier-based aircraft is not very strong, and it is only capable of carrying medium aviation torpedoes. The angle of the bomber's dive was also not large enough to accurately hit the target. Only when our carrier-based aircraft can drop heavy torpedoes and dive and drop bombs at large angles will our carrier-based aircraft units truly have a powerful combat capability. In addition to the current six aircraft carriers, in the next ten years, the Reich will build 12 aircraft carriers of three classes. Once these aircraft carriers are completed and put into service, the strength of the Imperial Navy will truly be regarded as unique in the world! Qin Tian said. He had always believed that capital ships were only the main force of the German Navy during its transition period, even if it relied on these capital ships to defeat the invincible British Navy. However, it still can't change Qin Tian's emphasis on aircraft carriers. He believes that in the next naval battle, aircraft carriers will be the real protagonists.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Count Tirpitz and other admirals of the navy replied excitedly.

Ten years later, the Imperial Navy would be a powerful navy with 22 battleships, 16 battlecruisers and 18 aircraft carriers. They believed that such strength would be enough for the German Navy to dominate the world's seas.

"Previously, the main force of the Imperial Navy had always been within the High Seas Fleet, and it can be said that the High Seas Fleet was the Imperial Navy. But now, as the empire's sphere of influence expands to the whole world, it is no longer realistic to put all the capital ships on the high seas fleet. The Empire must have multiple powerful fleets deployed around the world to protect the Empire's global interests! Qin Tian said.

High Seas Fleet Commander Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer's face was a little unnatural. Dispersing the main forces of the Navy in several fleets would undoubtedly weaken his influence. However, Reinhardt? Admiral Schell knew that this was the inevitable development of the German Navy, and no one could stop it. If you forcibly stop it, you will only be crushed to pieces.

Good thing, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer will next succeed Field Marshal Count Tirpitz as Lord of the Admiralty. Marshal Count Tirpitz was sixty-six years old, and at such an age, it was time to retire. And Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer was only 52 years old, in the prime of life.

"Your Majesty, how many fleets does the Imperial Navy need to disperse?" Marshal Count Tirpitz asked.

"First of all, the empire itself, as well as the eastern Atlantic region, needs a fleet to maintain the security of the empire itself. There was also a need for a fleet in the Atlantic against the United States and the British who fled to Canada. Ensure the security of the Empire's shipping routes over the Atlantic. The Mediterranean Sea served as an important shipping route between East and West, and the relationship between Austria-Hungary and us was getting worse and worse. So, we also need to have a fleet in the Mediterranean. In the Indian Ocean, India is on the verge of becoming the empire's most important overseas colony. Together with the empire's colonies in Africa and Australia, the entire Indian Ocean was encircled by the empire. The empire also needed to deploy a fleet in the Indian Ocean. Similarly, in the Pacific, island nations and empires are at odds with each other, and empires have great interests in the Pacific, especially in the central and southwestern Pacific Oceans. The Imperial Navy must also have a strong force there to deal with the islanders. Even, across the Pacific Ocean, pose a threat to the west coast of the Americans! Qin Tian conceived and revealed his ideas.

The admirals present all frowned. Scattering the main forces of the German Navy into five fleets at once was undoubtedly too scattered. Of course, even so, every fleet of the Imperial Navy was able to dominate the waters in its responsibility. At least at this stage, it can be dominant. In the event of a war, the Imperial Navy can be assembled immediately, giving it a formidable force.

"The Imperial Home Fleet, consisting of 4 'Caesar-class' battleships and 4 'Brandenburg-class' battlecruisers. The Atlantic Fleet, consisting of five 'Bavaria-class' battleships and three 'Mackensen-class' battlecruisers. The Pacific Fleet consisted of five 'King-class' battleships and three 'D-Fringel-class' battlecruisers, the Mediterranean Fleet consisted of four 'Helgoland-class' battleships and three 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers, and the Indian Ocean Fleet consisted of four 'Nassau-class' battleships and three 'Blucher-class' battlecruisers. As for aircraft carriers, arrangements will be made later! In peacetime, each fleet is responsible for its own defense zone. Once something happens, it will be dispatched by the Admiralty. "Qin Tian made an arrangement for the strength of the five fleets.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The admirals of the Navy replied. Everyone looked at Qin Tian's eyes with a fiery look. If nothing else, the German Navy has so many more fleets at once, whether it is the commander of the fleet or the chief of staff of the fleet, it is worth fighting for!
