"Your Excellency, this is information that our intelligence officers have risked their lives to get, and for this, we have even lost two very distinguished intelligence officers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "British Admiralty Chancellor John? Sir Fisher put the information on the desk of British Prime Minister Sir Banervan.

Sir Banavon put on his glasses and looked carefully at the information that the intelligence agent had exchanged for his life. When he saw those photos, the expression on his face became solemn.

"Sir Fischer, is this the new capital ship of the German Navy?" Sir Banavon asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. This should be the dreadnoughts of the Germans. And, it looks like it's going to be completed soon. In my experience, these battleships are already preparing for outfitting. It is expected to be able to enter service by the end of this year. "John? Sir Fisher looked serious.

"Oh God! How is this possible? How could the Germans build faster than ours? When we were building a new type of battleship, we only started building one. But they started construction of so many ships in one go. Aren't they afraid that this will be a trap we have set? Sir Bannervein looked shocked.

Britain only built one battleship, HMS Dreadnought, and only then began to build it in mass quantities. Even so, the British Navy's 'Bellerophon-class' battleships were only built last year, and if they were expected to enter service, they would have to wait until 1909. The follow-up 'St. Vincent-class' battleships have not yet started construction at all. This also means that once the new battleships of the German Navy are put into service, the British Navy will be at a disadvantage in terms of the number of new battleships. And this is a completely unacceptable result for the Royal Navy of the British Empire. In order to maintain the British Empire's maritime supremacy and the world's colonial system, they must ensure that they have the most powerful navy in the world.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, it is hard to believe that the Germans would make such a determination. However, now the fact is that the British Empire is already at a disadvantage in the competition of new capital ships. "John? Sir Fisher had a bitter look on his face.

"What about the performance of the battleship? Will the battleships of the Germans be able to compare with our battleships in terms of performance? Sir Banervan had a hint of anticipation in his eyes, as if he did not believe that the Royal Navy of the British Empire would lose a single defeat.

John? Sir Fisher hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since we have not obtained specific data on the capital ships of the German Navy, it is difficult to evaluate their specific performance at this time. However, the only thing that is certain is that the German battleships had a much larger displacement than ours, which allowed their battleships to have thicker armor and outperform us in defense. However, this also makes their battleships inferior to us in terms of speed. As for firepower, we had five twin 305-mm guns, while the Germans used three triple-mounted guns. Although it is not known whether the Germans had solved the problem of a triple main gun. However, in terms of firepower, we should not be inferior to them. ”

John? Sir Fisher, this is nothing more than speculation. This makes him make mistakes in his judgment. The German Navy's 'Nassau-class' capital ships did not have a lower speed than the British Navy's capital ships because of their larger displacement. On the contrary, the introduction of oil-fired boilers and steam turbines allowed the Nassau-class battleships to have faster speeds. In terms of speed, it was not inferior to the battleships of the British Navy at all, and even had a certain advantage.

In terms of firepower, all three triple guns could fire on one side, which was one more than the British Navy could fire at most four twin 305 mm. At the same time, the 50 times caliber main guns used by the capital ships of the German Navy obviously have more powerful armor-piercing capabilities than the 45 times caliber main guns of the British Navy. Once the war broke out and the capital ships of both sides encountered each other in a naval battle, the British Navy knew how powerful the main guns of the German Navy's capital ships were.

Sir Banervan's face couldn't help but become even more ugly.

"Oh God! It seems that from now on, the Royal Navy is in a great crisis. We have to be cautious. Otherwise, the Royal Navy will face a catastrophe. Sir Banervan said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I completely agree with you. And the situation may be worse than we expected. The capital ships of the Germans, much more than that. In addition to those battleships, our intelligence officers spotted three other ships being outfitted. Although, the progress was lagging behind several other battleships. But our intelligence officers believe that these three outfitting battleships should be battlecruisers, the same battleships as our 'Invincible class' battlecruisers. The despicable Germans, who should have wanted to strike at our sea transport lines with such warships. This is undoubtedly an extremely sinister intention. "John? Sir Fisher gritted his teeth.

John? The reason why Sir Fisher advocated the construction of battle cruisers in the Royal Navy was that he hoped that this new type of battleship would be comparable to cruisers in speed and firepower, and that would be able to protect British sea lines. Originally, this was just a precautionary plan. But I didn't expect it to really come in handy.

"Damn the Germans, they are really too despicable." Sir Banervan's face turned a little pale. He knew very well what it meant to the British Empire as an island nation once the sea lines of transportation were hit.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, fortunately we have also built battle cruisers, otherwise, there would really be no way to deal with the battle cruisers of the Germans." John? Sir Fisher was also glad.

"Will our 'Invincible-class' battlecruisers be able to deal with the Germans?" Sir Banavon asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. As you can see from the photo, the German battlecruisers were larger than our 'Invincible-class' battlecruisers. The larger displacement allows them to have greater defense. In terms of speed, it may not be as good as us. But it is also not to be underestimated. What's more, the battle cruisers of the Germans were nearing completion. And our 'Invincible' class battlecruisers will probably not be completed until the end of next year or the beginning of the year after that. "John? Sir Fisher said.

"Oh God! That is to say, the Royal Navy of the British Empire lagged behind the Germans in both battleships and battlecruisers! Sir Banervan exclaimed.
