Qin Tian knew that it was impossible for Germany to prevent other countries from developing aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft. After all, people in those countries are not fools. Although, in the last world war, the German Navy had only two aircraft carriers participating in the battle, and the results achieved were not great. However, this is enough to make other countries take it seriously.
The British Navy is the most important thing. It's just that, limited by their own technology and the environment at that time, they can only conduct theoretical research. Before there was time to conduct physical research, the British Navy had completely failed. The German Army then landed on the British mainland and destroyed the United Kingdom. This makes the UK's research on aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft can only be terminated.
When the United Kingdom fled to Canada, those important scientists and technicians were also important resources brought to Canada. After arriving in Canada, the United Kingdom knew that relying on their own strength alone could not ensure the rapid progress of the entire project. After all, it costs a lot of money. Americans, on the other hand, have money but no technology. So, they hit it off, worked together, and immediately started research in this area.
It's just that because they started too late, this made them far behind Germany. Plus, because the war is over. Although the relationship between Germany and the United States is very bad, both regard confrontation as opponents. But, after all, there is no real tearing of the face. Therefore, the threat is also very small. It is precisely because of this that the speed of technological development is not as fast as during the war. This makes it very difficult for the United States and the United Kingdom to catch up with Germany in terms of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft. After all, Germany is not standing still, but is making great strides forward. The gap between them has not shortened, but has a tendency to widen.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Tian does not mind the development of aircraft carriers by the United States and Britain. He believes that when war breaks out in the future, Germany will still be able to easily beat them.
"Your Majesty, although it is difficult for the Americans to pose a real threat to us in the long run. However, if they are allowed to grow stronger, the empire will pay a high price to defeat them in the future. Therefore, I think we Is it possible to seize this opportunity and eat up the American fleet in one bite. With the strength of the Atlantic Fleet and the aircraft carrier, if we attack with all our strength, it is no problem to eat them up. In this case, the Americans The navy will be severely damaged by us again. It will take a lot of time for them to develop again." Marshal von Falkenhain, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff, said.
Qin Tian thought for a while, but still shook his head. Although, he knows that with the strength of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet and aircraft carrier fleet, it is not too difficult to eat the US Navy's fleet of 11 capital ships. This is also a huge temptation for the Imperial Navy and even the entire military. However, Qin Tian didn't want to tear himself apart with the United States at this time. Of course, the German navy will have a great advantage. However, in addition to these capital ships, the U.S. Navy also has many other small and medium-sized warships. Those warships are certainly not Germany's opponents. But if they engage in a shameless war, Germany's routes to overseas colonies may be full of wars. At that time, Germany's energy will be dragged to this aspect, and this is very uneconomical.
Germany is now conquering those colonies, and can later become more powerful by plundering these colonies. At the same time, you can start stockpiling supplies for the next world war. Get ready for the next world war. If we go to war with the United States at this time, we can certainly suppress the United States, but it will have a great impact on our own development. In that case, the gain outweighs the loss.
What's more, Germany's enemies are not only the United States and the United Kingdom, but also the behemoth on the Eastern European plain, which is now developing rapidly. Once they develop, they will pose a deadly threat to Germany.
In addition, the island country in the Far East is also trying its best. They, with the support of the Americans, are reviving the navy. Once Germany's strength is dragged in the Atlantic Ocean and Europe, then Germany's colonies in the Far East will be attacked by them. Even India will be attacked by the islanders. In that case, it will pose a serious threat to Germany's overseas colonies.
Qin Tian hopes that several enemies of Germany can be eliminated one by one, instead of attacking them together. In that case, it will be very detrimental to Germany. The Far East colony with the weakest defense force of Germany, Germany also hopes to further enhance the local strength. At least, to ensure that several important strongholds are not lost when attacked by an island country. In this way, Germany will be able to better regain these colonies in the future.
"Forget it! As long as the Americans don't take the initiative to launch an attack, we won't launch an attack. The current empire needs to further digest the dividends of war and become stronger. In that way, we will have enough strength to ensure that in the future Victory in the war!" Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshals von Falkenhain and Reinhard Scheer saw that Qin Tian did not agree with their radical plan, so they had to give up. In fact, they also knew that after the Austro-Hungarian Empire had just perished, it would take a long time for the empire to integrate and digest. Only in that way could Germany's strength be developed to its peak. If you rush to war with the United States, Germany will be involved in a long-term war. After all, Germany does not yet have the strength to cross the Atlantic Ocean thousands of kilometers wide to defeat a powerful country with the world's largest industrial output value. Once the war develops into a long-term war of attrition, it will be of no benefit to Germany.
However, it would be a pity to give up such a good opportunity like this. Therefore, they will propose such a plan. If Qin Tian allows it, they will take the opportunity to implement it. If Qin Tian doesn't allow it, then let it go. Anyway, this is no loss for Germany.
"Your Majesty, during our confrontation with the US fleet this time, it proved more and more that we need a base in the Atlantic Ocean. The Azores is undoubtedly very suitable. If the home port of the Atlantic Fleet can be placed here, it will It will further expand the power of the Atlantic Fleet in the Atlantic Ocean." Marshal Reinhard Scheer suggested.
Qin Tian nodded: "After this incident is over, I will let the cabinet find a way."
