The corresponding approval procedures for this Royal Navy's future development plan in the 1930s and 1940s have been completed. What remains is the funding process for the Military Equipment Group of the Noble Academy, with a fiscal appropriation of about 17 million Jinyang every year. Some have more years, some have less years, with a total amount of about 155 million Jinyang.

The project includes 6 46,000-ton Duke class main battleships (two additional plans are retained), 6 32,000-ton heavy cruisers (two additional plans are retained), 6 42,000-ton "Ruchao" class aircraft carriers, 18 10,000-ton general cruisers, 32 5,700-ton ocean escort destroyers, as well as several landing ships, ocean oil and water supply ships and other series of ships. From 2017 to 27 years, the construction period is 10 years.

After the plan is implemented

Cooperating with the Royal Navy's existing 14 Fearless Class battleships, a powerful lineup of 26 main battleships (including six heavy cruisers, except aircraft carriers), will be sufficient to compete with the Royal Navy.

The Ocean Empire's heavy-duty naval ten-year development plan, from the release of the Navy to the adoption of the parliament, has been repeated for more than a year and revised in several drafts, and it is no secret to the British.

At the highest level of the country, the Imperial Prime Minister Zhang Li and the British Prime Minister Herbert Asquis frequently communicated on this matter, explained to the British side in detail the original intention of developing the Royal Navy, answered questions and answered questions, and were willing to share the latest development achievements of the Navy.

This includes the latest range-finding radar, navigation radar and gun-aising radar and other top technologies in exchange for full understanding from the UK.

even so

London's still negative attitude towards the plan has also become the biggest obstacle to the Navy's decade-old plan, but London's attitude has quickly softened after the Battle of Jutland and the North Sea, which is the main factor in the final implementation of the plan.

London also knew that it could only delay but not overturn the Naval Development Proposal voted by the House of Commons of the Ocean Empire.

If you are stubborn, it is likely to lead to the deterioration of the relationship between the two parties, which is a situation that no one wants to see.

The Ocean Empire attached great importance to the attitude of the United Kingdom. If it were not for the attitude of the United Kingdom, the plan had been voted by the House of Commons in the first half of last year, and the funding would be allocated after the military equipment group of the Noble House of War was reviewed and approved, and it would not be delayed until now.

Li Fushou was a man of a good age. The relationship between countries lies in mutual respect. He could understand the glorious and lonely mood of the British Empire, and was unwilling to stimulate London too much, so as to embark on the road of military confrontation.

Speaking of which, thanks to the Germans.

After the outbreak of the World War, the huge losses of the Royal Navy and the Army made the British heartbroken. They were also reflecting on the pre-war British and German policies. Is there any other feasible way besides military confrontation?

After fighting against Germany and fighting against the Ocean Empire, it is no less difficult for the British than hell. I really don’t want to go back to the second chapter.

So, now the London hardliners are much weaker, and the same is true for Paris. They are fucked by the tragic level of the world war.

Now the time is finally ripe, and Li Fushou signed an opinion on the development proposal; he could be transferred to the relevant departments for processing.

With the stroke of the imperial pen, this proposal was confirmed.

The era of big ships and cannons

The ship's displacement is getting bigger and bigger, and the caliber of the main gun also increases. Take the Ocean Empire as an example;

The eight Royal Navy's main force "Princess Elizabeth-class battleships, all equipped with nine 381mm caliber main guns, with unprecedented strike power and ranks among the world's top battleships.

The latest development of the "Duke" class battleship has been upgraded to 9 406mm main naval guns, maintaining the equipment speed synchronized with the British Empire. The triple turret design is more advanced, more compact, and has better protection.

The 32,000-ton heavy patrol developed during the same period, the main naval gun adopts a triple 356mm turret, with the front 2 and the rear configuration. The firepower has surpassed the old-time Fearless Class battleships and is a well-deserved main battleship of the ocean.

From the Navy plan, we can see that we attach great importance to the "Duke" class battleships and the 32,000-ton patrol, and we made a little clever trick and retained the option of additional construction plans.

This way

When the Admiralty feels that it is necessary to implement the additional plan, it does not have to go through the time-consuming and laborious parliamentary voting procedures again, and can be directly reviewed and approved by the Armed Forces Development Group of the Noble House.

When the vote was initially voted, the members of the House of Commons clamored to remove the extra options. Marshal He Fang, who was seriously ill, wrote a special account, and went to the imperial front and tried his best to defend the Royal Navy.

Li Fushou did not intervene directly, but instead sent someone to deliver Marshal He Fang's memorial to the House of Commons and publicly preached. How could those MPs who strongly opposed it at first still understand the holy intention?

As a result, the proposal for the Royal Navy's 10-year development plan was successfully passed without major deletion.

Li Fushou is now in power and rarely interferes or conveys the will of the sages himself. Major matters are generally discussed by court. After basically reaching an agreement, he will make a decision and will not act arbitrarily.

Just like this proposal for the Navy's 10-year development plan, if the House of Commons still rejects the additional option, he will not interfere.

At worst, in two years, the Admiralty will apply for a new construction plan. The empire's finances are not lacking in money, but it is very rich, and there will be no great resistance to adding necessary arms.

He did not want to artificially interfere in the democratic process of the empire, and to reverse the times, he wanted to gradually transition the monarchical dictatorship to the power of the parliament, giving the government cabinet and parliament more autonomy.

Nowadays, the world war is in full swing, and the Allied forces are very active in West Asia and North Africa. The Ottoman army is desperate and retreating step by step, and performing very well.

Li Fushou's focus is not here, nor is it in the Siberian Krai, but always in North America.

The current situation in North America is quite strange, with constant small-scale conflicts, but both the United States and Japan have maintained considerable restraint, and large-scale wars have not started easily.

The peace talks aimed at ending the Second US-Japan War have been on hold for more than half a year, and negotiations have been interrupted and restarted four times, and the two sides are preparing for the war in full swing.

This is like two masters who have fought for several rounds, because they suffered losses in front of each other, and they tried to test each other without exerting their strength, waiting for the best opportunity to defeat the enemy with one move.

Both the Americans and the Fusang people knew that if they defeated their opponents in a short time, they would give the Ocean Empire a chance to attack.

By then, the direction of war will not be dominated by oneself.

The Republic of Virginia was waiting patiently for the opportunity, and at the same time sent a large number of personnel into southern states such as Florida and the Columbia Special District, secretly connecting separatist forces, inciting alliances and striving for an opportunity to invade.

The situation in North America seems calm, but in fact it is undercurrent.

"Kaizhi, come here, what new trends are there in North America recently? Is there any movement in the Great Lakes area?" Li Fushou waved to the Secretariat Director Gu Kaizhi and asked.

Gu Kaizhi hurried over and said with his hands; "Thank you, as far as I know, the security bureau's main energy has been focused on the south in the near future, developing secret members and instigating senior management. Without the cooperation of the English and German parties, the Great Lakes region will not make much progress."

"Didn't the Security Bureau buried a lot of nails in Detroit during the Wool War?"

"Your Majesty is this. The Great Lakes region and the eastern part of the United States benefit from the dividends of the period of rapid development. Although a small number of separatist forces jumped very high, the overall social support rate was relatively low. As long as there is a stable job, many working families are unwilling to cause trouble. The empire has a weak foundation in the region and has a relatively small influence. This is an indisputable fact."

"It's a bit of a pity," Li Fushou shook his head regretfully.

He had too much shadow on the Americans in his previous life, and he wanted to divide the Americans into 28 petals. Now the American Federation is still a bit big in his eyes.

If the north had a few more pieces split, that would be great.

The problem is that the United States has been independent for more than 100 years, and its internal cohesion is not bad. Now, basically all the things that can be tinkered are broken.

The remaining northern and eastern regions were relatively united, and the Davin Porter government was very vigilant about separatist forces, and the crackdown was quite strong and could not be easily broken down.

It seems that you still have to let the dog bite people!

The Fusang Kingdom has been a bit too comfortable recently. So many troops are placed in North America, so why don’t you fight?

Secretary-General Gu Kaizhi looked at the emperor holding his chin with one hand and began to think, and he couldn't help but feel sad for the Americans.

Perhaps it was because of the desperation. Today's emperor has always been very alert to the Americans, and today's national policies are still led by curbing the Americans.

Restricting its industrial development, cracking down on its trade channels, limiting its access to high technology, and comprehensive competition in heavy industry and emerging chemical industries. Imperial capital has seriously penetrated the U.S. financial and industrial fields, and spared no effort to support spokespersons.

The empire has always had heavy troops in Virginia, posing a substantial and serious threat to the United States' crucial eastern heartland.

On the vast plains of the eastern United States, the armor torrent of the imperial army is an unsolvable problem, and it is by no means a powerful force that the severely castrated American Army can compete with.

Today, the United States is suffering from serious domestic and foreign troubles. With the intentional support from abroad, separatist forces in the south are rampant, industrial production shrinks, and industrial products from the Ocean Empire flood the market, which seriously hinders the development of heavy industries in the United States, including the automobile industry.

In Kansas City on the central plains, Fusang Kingdom stationed 660,000 troops and was eyeing it, and it was possible to invade a large amount at any time.

The Republic of Virginia and the United Republic of the Southern have made great moves, and there is no frequent small moves, just bullying the US federal government and having no time to take care of themselves and acting increasingly unscrupulously.

Behind these domestic and foreign forces, there is a huge shadow that always covers the United States. This is Li Fushou, the dictator who dominates the Ocean Empire. His careful calculations on the Americans are simply the eternal enemy of the Americans.

Li Fushou had no idea of ​​stopping when he saw the good news. He was planning to give North America a fire and make the whole situation explode.

How did that old saying...
