"The demands of the United States and the island countries are too great. The German Navy maintains a capital ship scale of 1.5 million tons, which has been fully demonstrated. In fact, the German Navy has already reached this scale. However, the total tonnage of the US Navy's capital ships is only 400,000 tons. Allowing the US Navy to build 600,000-ton capital ships has already given the United States a lot of space. The current scale of the main ships of the island country's navy is only a few tens of thousands of tons. The scale of the capital ship of 300,000 tons is completely sufficient. The Empire is doing this for your sake. After all, capital ships are not cheap, and if you build too many of them, it will have a huge impact on your country's finances. Washitt said.

"Although the current size of the U.S. Navy's capital ships is only 400,000 tons. However, no one can stipulate that we can only build 600,000-ton capital ships, right? As for the financial pressure, Germany does not need to worry about this, the United States has enough financial resources to afford the construction of capital ships of our Navy. U.S. Secretary of State Brian said.

"It is absolutely impossible to limit the size of the capital ships of the island country's navy to 300,000 tons. We have enough money to build more capital ships! Ichiro Honno, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the island nation, said.

Although, in order to develop the navy and build more warships for the navy, the whole island nation has decided to tighten its belts. However, they will definitely not back down on this issue. After all, if they wanted to defeat the German army in the Far East, the navy would be the main thing. Only in this way will they be able to ensure that after defeating the German navy, they will expand into the South Seas, as well as Australia and India, and achieve the country's take-off.

Washitt and Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer knew that the United States and the island countries would probably not back down this time. It will be very difficult to achieve their goals.

"Well, the German Reich can make a little concession. The total tonnage of the capital ships of the US Navy can rise to ninety tons. The total tonnage of the Navy of the island nation rose to 600,000 tons! Washitt said.

There is no doubt that this is already the bottom line of the German Empire. If the United States and the island countries do not accept it again, then I am afraid that this arms control conference will end in failure.

U.S. Secretary of State Brian and Secretary of the Navy Daniels discussed, and although Germany had backed down, the total tonnage of the U.S. Navy's capital ships had risen to 60 percent of the German Navy's. However, this is clearly not something they are willing to accept....

Obviously, the representatives of the island countries are also unable to accept the scale of 600,000 tons, which is too far from what they demand.

"Your Excellency, the United States hopes that the scale of our capital ships will reach more than 1.2 million tons. The scale of the capital ships of the island country also needs to reach 900,000 tons! Brian said.

Although the United States did not discuss these two figures with the island nation, Brian said it directly. As the backer of the island nation, the main Americans can still do it. They believe that the islanders will not oppose them on this issue.

Ichiro Motono, the foreign minister of the island nation, and Yuzaburo Kato, the minister of the navy, frowned, but still didn't say much. Although they will not be satisfied with the scale of 900,000 tons of capital ships, since the Americans have already said so, it is not easy for them to dismantle the platform. It's a big deal, when the time is up, just tear up the agreement. Anyway, the size of the main ships of the island country's navy is only a few tens of thousands of tons, and it will take a long time to reach 900,000 tons.

However, this request put forward by the United States is still unacceptable to the German side. The United States and the island countries have joined forces, and when they join forces, the tonnage of capital ships has reached 2.1 million tons, which exceeds the total tonnage of the German Navy's capital ships by 600,000 tons. In this case, in a future war, it may be difficult for the German Navy to take advantage of the capital ships.

Although, the lead ships of the German Navy are no longer the main ones, the real main ones are aircraft carriers. However, on this issue, it is clear that Germany cannot compromise and back down. If Germany retreats in terms of capital ships, then the United States and the island countries will inevitably gain an inch of follow-up aircraft carriers and cruisers. At that time, the German Navy will probably be completely at a disadvantage. Therefore, in this respect, Germany cannot back down, and at most they accept the tonnage of capital ships of the navies of the United States and island countries, which is equivalent to that of Germany.

"The empire cannot accept this plan, we can agree at most that the total tonnage of the capital ships of the US Navy will reach 900,000 tons, and the total tonnage of the capital ships of the island navy will reach 600,000 tons! If you exceed these two numbers, the empire will not accept it! "Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer's attitude suddenly hardened.

Similarly, the United States and the island countries have made no concessions on this issue. For a while, the meeting entered a stalemate.

As for the representatives of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Kingdom of Italy, who attended the meeting, they were silent the whole time, except for the fact that they echoed the demands of the German side at the beginning. They had originally come to play soy sauce, knowing that this meeting was a contest between Germany and the United States and island countries, and they were unwilling to participate in it, and they did not have the strength to participate in it at all.

"Well, I suggest that today's meeting stop here for the time being, and then continue tomorrow!" Vahit said.

U.S. Secretary of State Brian nodded, indeed, if everyone continues, nothing will come of it.

Washitt and Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer, after the meeting, went to the palace to report to Emperor Qin Tian on the contents of the talks. Qin Tian didn't care about this. The demands of the Americans and the islanders, of course, the German Reich would not accede. In that case, it would be very disadvantageous for Germany. Anyway, this arms control meeting was just a formality. Even if the talks fall apart, it's not a big deal. Germany could put on the heads of the United States and the island nations after the negotiations broke down.

The next day, the meeting resumed. However, the differences between the two sides are still very large, and the German side can only accept the proposal of 900,000 tons of capital ships of the United States and 600,000 tons of capital ships of island countries. The United States, on the other hand, insisted on a capital ship of 1.2 million tons, and the island countries also insisted on a plan of 900,000 tons of capital ships. This makes it impossible for the two sides to resolve this disagreement.

In such a situation, it seems that there is no need to talk about the tonnage allocation plan for subsequent aircraft carriers and cruisers. Because in the case that the tonnage of the capital ships cannot be agreed, there is naturally no need to talk about the tonnage of those subsequent warships.
