Sufficient financial resources, coupled with strong shipbuilding capabilities and high-quality naval personnel, have enabled the German Navy to dominate the world''s oceans for hundreds of years, ahead of other navies.


    During the period, powerful enemies challenged their maritime supremacy many times. But in the end they all fell into the sand. Sea power is still firmly in the hands of the British Empire. And this also enabled Britain to upy thergest colony in the world. Great profit returns for the UK.


    "Your Excellency the Minister of the Navy, I really want to know the expressions of the Germans. If they know that their battleships that have been built or are under construction are all obsolete, William II will probably go crazy with anger! You know, for the sake of development For the navy, the Germans put almost thest mark into it. As a result, the battleships built turned into rubbish." Sir Benavanughed wildly, arrogantly.


    Germany''s industrial strength has surpassed that of the United Kingdom. If the British hadn''t had a vast colony as a market for product dumping, they would have been unable to resist it long ago. And Germany''srge investment in the navy made the British feel a great crisis. After all, they started their business by upying sea power. The Germans tried in vain to challenge the sea power of the British Empire, which naturally made them uneptable.


    "Your Excellency, you don''t need to think about it, you know that William II will be furious." Sir Fisher also had a smile on his face. When ites to dealing with Germany, the members of the British cab all hold the same attitude. That is, in order to protect the interests of the British Empire, Germany must be suppressed at all costs. Only in this way, the hegemony of the British Empire will be stable.


    "However, Your Excellency the Minister of the Navy, I am afraid that our new battleship cannot be kept secret for a long time. German spies are everywhere." Sir Benavan was a little worried. He naturally hoped that this new type of battleship could remain mysterious. In that case, once war breaks out, they will easily defeat the German navy and ensure the sea power of the British Empire.


    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, it is almost impossible to keep itpletely secret. Especially after the battleship isunched. Such a big guy, floating on the sea, is like a hill. Unless the German spies are fools, otherwise If so, they will probably know soon." Sir Fisher looked embarrassed.


    "So, Your Excellency the Secretary of the Navy, do we have any means to deal with it?" Sir Benavan asked.


    "Your Excellency, even if the Germans know that we are building a new type of battleship and they took pictures of it, so what? They want to obtain the data of our new type of battleship for a while, that is not very Possibly. Even if they start shooting right away, it will take a year or two. It will be several years before their new battleships arepleted and put into service. By then, we have already started building new battleships in batches. The construction of the new battleships of the next level has already begun. We are more than one step ahead of the Germans. By then, the gap will only widen, not narrow." Sir Fisher smiled.


    Sir Benavan nodded. He was relieved after hearing what Sir Fisher said.


    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, we havepleted the design of the next-level ''Bellerophon-ss'' battleship, and construction is expected to start in the second half of the year. At that time, three ships will be built at one time. And the next-level battleship The design is also in progress. In addition, our artillery factory is conducting research on the 13.5-inch naval gun. This will be the main gun of our next batch of battleships. If we say, we will use the 12-inch main gun If the battleship with a 13.5-inch main gun is named a dreadnought, then the battleship with a 13.5-inch main gun will be a super dreadnought!" Sir Fisher said.


    "Very good, very good! We need to continue to maintain our advantage over the Germans. This advantage must not only be reflected in the number of capital ships, but also in quality. We mustpletely cut off the Germans from challenging our sea power If they dare to put it into action, we willpletely wipe out their navy and make them unable to turn around forever!" Sir Benavan said domineeringly.


    "Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. The Navy will definitely do this." Sir Fisher was full of confidence.


    Germany''s intelligence collection work in the UK is indeed very good. The German Army and Navy both have intelligence agencies operating in the UK. Of course, the focus of the two sides is different. In particr, after the German Navy took challenging the British Navy''s world hegemony as its goal, it increased its intelligence collection on the British Navy.


    Theunching and outfitting of the battleship "Dreadnought" is also a major event within the British Navy. Although, the British Admiralty requires strict secrecy. However, where in the world is there an imprable wall. The news of theunching of a new battleship of the British Navy was quickly learned by the intelligence department of the German Navy. And, after spending a little time and cost, I got the relevant data of the battleship ''Dreadnought''.


    When this information was sent back to the German Admiralty, Marshal Earl Tirpitz became angry on the spot.


    "The guys from the Naval Technical Committee are really idiots? The design n rejected by them has be the next-level battleship of the British. If it weren''t for them, maybe our next-level new battleship would beunched sooner orter." , it’s not far away! This is a rare opportunity to narrow the gap with the British Navy!” Marshal Earl Tirpitz was very sorry. At the same time very self-me. When Qin Tian''s design was rejected by the Naval Technical Committee, if he had been tougher and fought for Qin Tian, ??the result might have been very different now.


    "Hmph! But this time, those old-fashioned guys in the Naval Committee will probably have their faces swollen!" Marshal Earl Tirpitz sneered.


    Such information is of course impossible to hide from William II. When the Navy''s intelligence department received relevant information, it immediately informed William II.


    "Trash! Those guys from the Naval Technical Committee are all trash? There are so many of them, and they im to have so much experience in the shipbuilding field, but they can''t evenpare with a teenager. It''s a joke!" William II said in In his office, he was furious.


    He ordered the imperial meeting to be held immediately, and at the same time, Count von Warren, chairman of the Naval Technical Committee, was also asked to attend. Of course, this is definitely not good news for the entire Navy Technical Committee.
