"It seems that we overestimated the strength of Britain and France and their determination to confront each other!" Umberto I regretted the decision he made. He originally thought that the French warships were sunk by the Germans. Whether for the sake of face or introspection, France had to go with Germany? What's more, the British expressed their support for France, and Germany was definitely not ready for war. Both sides had to talk about the battle for 300 rounds, right? Who would have thought that it would be over in a few words? Portugal surrendered, and the French admitted defeat! When did this Frenchman be so spineless?

The French can admit defeat, and the British can stay out of the situation, and there will be no serious consequences. After all, where is the strength of Britain and France? The French have an ally called Russia, and the British Royal Navy is even more powerful. When Germany gains face and inner strength, it will not have a large-scale conflict with major powers.

But Italy is different! Italy has a relationship with anyone. As a member of the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the signator of the Mediterranean Treaty, the relationship between Italy and France and Russia will definitely not be good. As a member of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, this time the action of being suspected of being abducted has made the relationship between Italy and Germany tense. If it is really a fall, don’t say that Germany takes action. With the strength of hardware, Italy can’t even beat Austro-Hungary!

"The Germans' visit this time was a demonstration, but if we talked about it, we should let the Germans know the strength of the Italian navy." Duke Abruchi said with a stern look.

The current Italian Navy is not the Italian Navy in the 1980s. From 1890 to now, the Italian Navy has started construction of 4 battleships, but none of them have been in service! In other words, for a full nine years, the Italian Navy has not added a new type of battleship that started construction after 1890!

What is even more unbearable is that the Admiral-class battleship of the St. Bon, which started construction in 1893, has not been completed yet! How many years have it been? It has been 6 years! What makes the Italian Navy even more unbearable is that according to the news from the shipyard, if the allocation cannot be increased, the service time of this warship may be until 1901! A warship is built for 8 years! This is a record-breaking? Compared with the Brom-Foss Shipyard in Germany, a ship station takes 8 years to build three warships of the same level!

Regardless of whether the Italians are willing to admit it, the current Italian navy is no longer glorious. It is because the old ship is outdated and the new ship is nowhere to be long. At this time, it is very difficult for the Italians to come up with some useful warships to install the storefront!

Duke Abruci, who served as the commander of the Italian Taranto squadron, calculated his own calculations. The three strongest battleships in the Italian Navy were the three re.umberto-class battleships that started construction in the mid-1980s and were built for more than 8 years. In terms of displacement, 13,000 tons is indeed large enough, and four 13.5-inch guns can also be fooled, and the maximum speed reaches more than 20 knots! Although it is a dome-armored battleship, it does not meet the current development trend, but it is still possible to fool people! Well, these three battleships cannot be missed! All of them are pulled!

There are also three battleships built in the early 1980s, which are almost the same as Dingzhen in Beiyang. The displacement is nearly 10,000 tons. The four 17-inch l27 cannons are also quite intimidating. They can also make do with the storefront. As for the Italian-class battleships that were earlier, let’s forget it. If you take out something too old, you won’t be awe-inspiring, and it will even make people laugh!

To be honest, the Italian Navy has accumulated some assets from the 1970s to 1980s, with at least 10 warships of more than 10,000 tons! However, there are not many that can be used. The Duke of Abruchi thought for a long time before he saved up a lineup of 6 battleships.

As for cruisers, the Italians also have some good goods, such as the displacement is only 4,600 tons, but they are equipped with 6 6-inch guns, 10 4.7-inch guns and four-inch side-string armored Marco Polo-class armored cruisers. The firepower and protection of this class of warships are both the best, but the speed is very coffee table. As a cruiser, it only has 17.8 knots, which is slower than its own battleship!

In addition, the Italians also have 2 6,000-ton Pisani-class armored cruisers, 5.9-inch armored belts, 12 6-inch guns and 4 to 6 4.7 guns. Although they are not as classic as Garibaldi in history, they are also considered a good small armored cruiser. They can suppress warships of the same tonnage. The only problem is that the speed is not very good, only 18 to 19 knots... The Italians have a high bb speed and slow cruisers are a historical problem.

"The Germans are ready to visit the Port of Taranto, and we have six battleships and three armored cruisers there, which is already the most powerful fleet we can concentrate on," the Duke said.

"Although the Germans are not good, they come under the banner of friendly visits, not to mention that we are still allies. Although this wrong statement has caused obstacles to relations between the two countries, we should also alleviate it through this exchange. It is not good to confront each other blindly." The Duke said then.

"Do you think this statement is wrong?" Umberto I said unhappily.

"We did not get new friends, but offended old friends, and our diplomatic environment worsened. Although it was a bit rude to say this, this is my voice at this moment." The Duke replied a little apologetically.

"If this is the case, I would rather meet this prince of the Bavarian Kingdom. We do not ask for some kind of agreement with him, but at least we should not affect our relationship with Germany and Austria. It is said that this prince has great opinions on Italy's actions." Italian Prime Minister Luigi Perux said.

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy has great power, at least much higher status than the Prime Ministers of William II. This time the king's opinion did cause some trouble to the kingdom. Although Italy is eager to rise, it still has a full understanding of the current situation, otherwise the war would not be so accurate...

He has no courage, but is very sensible, like a cunning fox, good at changing his mind, and is undoubtedly the best to describe Italy! And when his goal is not achieved and causes a reaction, the Italians will quickly adjust their strategies! Even if the German fleet will arrive in Taranto in 4 days!

"Well, Mr. Luigi, if possible, I hope you can host this German prince on my behalf. As you said, we are at least members of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and we should not lose greater benefits because of a little misunderstanding." Umberto I's face changed several times, and finally decided to swallow the bitter fruit.
