After the end of the world war, the international situation was not alleviated by the separation of winners and losers, but became more tense. First, Germany destroyed its original hardcore ally, further consolidating Germany's hegemony. But it has also put tremendous pressure on other countries to step up their armaments.

Several of Germany's main adversaries, with the exception of Burussia, which is in the honeymoon period with Germany, have already focused on strengthening their armaments. Even the Burussians are equally worried that Germany will turn its back and attack them at some point. Therefore, Burussia has always maintained a large army. As the main force, the standing army of the Russian army remained at more than four million people. And the mobilization system has been strengthened, and it will be possible to double the size of the Russian army in three months. If Germany wants to attack the Russian army, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to defeat the eight million or even tens of millions of Russian troops.

It is precisely because of this that Burussia dares to cooperate with Germany with confidence and boldness. Although they know that it is a game with the tiger. However, the leaders of the Russian Federation knew that if they did not strive to develop themselves, they would be even more unable to resist if Germany did attack them.

The world's major powers are stepping up their armaments, and this has also attracted Germany's attention.

"Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the construction of the first aircraft carrier jointly developed by the Americans and the British, the 'Langley', has begun. Although, the full load displacement of this aircraft carrier is less than 20,000 tons, and it is only capable of carrying 36 carrier-based aircraft. However, it is certain that the United States and Britain will accumulate a wealth of experience in the construction of the USS Langley. It is foreseeable that after the USS Langley is completed and put into service, the United States and Britain will probably build more and more powerful aircraft carriers one after another. In this case, the pressure on the Imperial Navy will probably be even greater. "Reich Admiralty Reinhardt? Field Marshal Scheer was worried.

Although, compared to the German Navy, the US Navy is still very weak. Even if the U.S. Navy begins to speed up its development, it is undoubtedly unlikely that it will catch up with the German Navy in a short time. But this was enough to make the head of the German Navy, Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer sensed threatened.

Qin Tian nodded: "The Americans, with the support of the British, have just begun to build aircraft carriers. However, with their industrial strength, once they master the key technology, it will inevitably greatly increase the speed of construction. However, there is no need for the empire to worry too much. After all, the Empire is far ahead of them in this regard. They want to catch up with the Empire, and they can't catch up for a while. Next, the empire only needs to further build the aircraft carriers we have planned step by step, and continue to improve the performance of the aircraft carriers. At the same time, the performance of carrier-based aircraft remained improved, which was enough to ensure that the Imperial Navy was always ahead of the Americans. ”

Reinhart? Marshal Scheer nodded, but it was clear that he had not completely relaxed his mind.

"If there is a war, then the empire will inevitably increase the speed of aircraft carrier construction. At that time, the industrial strength of the empire will be stronger than that of the United States, and the strength of shipbuilding will be far ahead of them. The Empire will increase the size of our aircraft carriers at the rate of building an aircraft carrier in about a year and a half. And it is the construction of several aircraft carriers at once. I guarantee that in the event of a future war, the Imperial Navy will definitely be able to crush the US Navy! Qin Tian continued.

Reinhart? Marshal Scheer, only then put the hanging heart back into his stomach.

"Your Majesty, in addition to aircraft carriers, the Americans and the British are not slowing down in the construction of capital ships. Although the British retreated to Canada, they restarted the construction of the 'Lion-class' battleships and the 'Hood-class' battlecruisers. After the Colorado-class battleships were put into service, the U.S. Navy continued to build the North Carolina-class battleships, and it is said that the follow-up South Dakota-class battleships were also on the agenda. This was also a threat to the Imperial Navy. "Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer said.

The U.S. Navy now has 11 battleships, and if two North Carolina-class battleships and four South Dakota-class battleships are put into service, this will bring the number of their capital ships to 17, plus the British eight, which is 25. The German Navy's Home Fleet and Atlantic Fleet had only 16 capital ships in total, and even with the addition of 7 capital ships of the Mediterranean Fleet, they were also at a disadvantage. Therefore, there is already a view within the German Navy that the construction plan of capital ships will be restarted, and about ten capital ships of two classes will be built to further enhance the strength of the capital ships of the German Navy.

"If the Americans and the British want to build capital ships, then let them build them! A country's national strength is limited, and when they build a lot of capital ships, on aircraft carriers, they will inevitably be affected. And the replacement of capital ships by aircraft carriers is already a matter of ironclad. That will make it easier for us to defeat them in the future! Qin Tian said.

Although, the capital ship still has strong combat effectiveness in specific battlefield situations. But, by and large, being replaced by aircraft carriers is already irreversible. Qin Tian wished that the United States and other enemies would build more capital ships, in that case, under the blow of the German aircraft carriers' overwhelming carrier-based aircraft, they would only become a live target.

Reinhart? Marshal Scheer saw that Qin Tian was not ready to back down on this issue, so he had to say nothing more. He had no choice but to ask for the construction of a capital ship, he would definitely be vetoed by Qin Tian. After all, to build a huge capital ship, it is almost possible to build an aircraft carrier plus all carrier-based aircraft.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the United States and the United Kingdom, the island countries are also frantically building capital ships. The island's navy has already commissioned two 'Fuso-class' battleships, and two more 'Ise-class' battleships are under construction. The latest news has been obtained that the follow-up 'Nagato-class' battleships of the island navy have completed the design and are expected to start construction soon. ”

Qin Tian nodded: "It seems that the last time the empire completely hurt the people of the island country, that's why they tightened their belts to build capital ships." That's nothing, though. Once the Empire assigns aircraft carriers to the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet, they will have enough strength to deal with the islanders! ”
