Chapter 2633： 2 dial 0.

In fact, many times the navy’s armament building is a problem that you have and I have, that is, if potential competitors have this equipment, then they must have it! And it has nothing to do with actual war, such as the naval armament plan of France and Italy before the Second World War! The Richelieu-class battleships of France and the Veneto-class battleships of Italy actually have a competitive relationship. Will France and Italy be at war?

At least in the design of these two classes of battleships, the possibility is extremely small, but in order to obtain a kind of psychological comfort, or to save face, the two navies must maintain a balance. Now, the Mediterranean is home to the three powers of France, Austro-Hungary, and Italy. There is also Turkey. Even Turkey has fast battleships equipped with 14-inch artillery. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has to build 16-inch artillery battleships, as well as the French. Shouting to start, then tell me, what do Italians think? This is a psychological game!

In fact, after the war technology, from the perspective of national will, all countries hope that their naval power can be in an advantageous position. Of course, everyone knows the final result, because quite a few countries have no money, so they eventually become everyone. Discuss and pull the naval armaments limitation treaty. But now? The U.S.-Japan War is not over. Italy has not been involved in the war, and has won some war profits. They are indeed completing the Caraggiono class battleship. It is impossible to say that France has no idea about this class of battleship!

After all, if French intentions clash over some issues in the Mediterranean and North Africa in the future, France will be at a disadvantage, and neither Germany nor the United States nor Britain has a reason to intervene in this conflict. This is like, before World War II, Britain and France were still allies, but when it comes to the Mediterranean issue in France, the French must face the threat from Italy alone!

The development speed of the Italian navy has actually surpassed that of France. Even if the French government really has no money, they will definitely build momentum. After all, in history, whether it is Normandy or the Lyon-class battleship with the most artillery in history, all appeared in the design bureau. On the drawings. Although this behavior appears to the French to increase regional tensions, it is also a tough performance. The French can succumb to Germany, which is stronger than themselves, but will certainly not show weakness to Italy! Because France is still a colonial power, the sword in his hand still needs to be used outside Europe. From this perspective, once the French economy improves, his naval expansion will continue. This is the case in history. Still so!

"But according to Japan's current economic conditions, it is unlikely that they want to obtain sufficient funds to purchase Italian battleships." Prince Baden said.

"First of all, Japan has no choice. They have to spend every penny in the national treasury for the purchase of military equipment. Japan’s environment is worse than that of the United States, so they have no choice. It is good if they can buy. Can you pick and choose?"

"Secondly, the British will help the Japanese complete the financing. This is not just because British India and Myanmar are under the control of the Japanese. More importantly, Japan has the oil, rubber and other resources that the British need. You have to know After the loss of Persia, Britain has no oil fields of its own! Moreover, if the Japanese are willing to replace part of their colonial rights, I guess the Italians will also be willing to accept it! Because now the whole world has been divided up. Any point overseas Rights and interests are very attractive to Italians!" said the crown prince.

"And we don’t need Japan to buy all the Caraggiono-class battleships. They only need to buy one, and the Americans’ perception of Italy will be very poor. When the relationship between the United States and France and Italy has stagnated or even regressed. , As long as we have the right wrist, we can always incorporate these two countries into our system." The crown prince said.

"What about the British? According to our latest news, the British are preparing to sell the two unfinished Fury-class battleships as hulks to a third country. At present, the British are discussing related matters with the Italians. This seems to be a faction. It's exactly the same as what happened back then." Prince Baden said.

"We don't need to care about this matter. If there is a Fury-class battleship that can enter Japan, this is actually a good result." Ruprecht said.

"Your Highness, I don’t know if I should say that if we acquiesce in this way, will the Japanese navy be too powerful? Punishing Japan is also the purpose of our war. We must make Japan pay in this war. A huge price, we always think that the battle is in our hands, but if we lose control, we will lose more than the gains." Grand Duke Baden said.

"Does your concern about the Japanese Navy come from the outcome of this battle?" the crown prince asked.

"That's it. To be honest, I was surprised that the Japanese were able to achieve such a result, and I was shocked by what happened to the Su Xiong fleet. Our most elite battleship has never received such serious damage. The Japanese His performance exceeded our expectations." The Grand Duke did not understand the Navy, he just spoke out of his feelings.

"There is no problem. In fact, the Japanese arms supply is completely in our hands. As long as we want, we can keep the Japanese from getting any ship! Don't underestimate the Americans. This time, it is just for the United States. The tactical failure, apart from the loss of personnel that made the Americans feel very heartbroken, the material loss was not too serious for the United States Even the capitalists in the United States expected to happen again. In order to get more orders!" said the crown prince.

"Then, besides doing what you asked for, what else do we need to do?" the prince asked.

"Issued an announcement to support the French rights in Indochina. The Imperial Navy and the Austro-Hungarian Navy issued plans for new battleships and warned the crown prince at home. Well, it should be almost done. All that is left is to watch the changes and observe the United States, Japan and The actions of Britain, France, and Italy have gone." The crown prince thought to himself.

"There should be nothing else. You can do the rest by yourself." Ruprecht said.

"Well, that's the case, brother, you can leave first. I have something to communicate with His Royal Highness in private." Just when everyone thought the meeting was over, Grand Duke Baden's words surprised his brother. .

"Okay, I'll rest first." The prince hesitated and said.
