Germanic Empire: please call me William III

On the navy docks in Kiel Harbor, the battleship Nassau was covered with ribbons.

The military band was playing majestic music, and the whole navy pier seemed to be jubilant.

Every admiral’s face was filled with a proud smile.

Last year, the battleship “Intrepid” of the Empire of the Sun Never Set entered service, which can be said to have shocked the world’s navies. Soon, however, the Germanic Imperial Navy had a dreadnought of the same type, or even more powerful, in service.

This is not only a counterattack against the Empire of the Rising Sun, but also a demonstration of the strength of the Germanic Empire.

“Your Majesty, who is stronger than our battleship Nassau compared to the battleship Dreadnought, which does not fall on the sun?” Shou Biluo asked.

And this question is undoubtedly also a problem of cabinet ministers and even army generals.

As for the Germanic admirals, they were full of confidence in the “Nassau-class” battleships.

“Whether it is speed or firepower, or defense, the battleship ‘Intrepid’ that never sets is, judging from the paper data, it is not at all the opponent of our battleship Nassau. Of course, in real naval battles, there are too many uncertainties. It can only be said that the odds of our battleship Nassau are very high! Liu Chuan said.

Suddenly, smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.

Being able to overwhelm the sun on the capital ships undoubtedly made the top brass of the Germanic Empire very happy.

Soon, the inauguration ceremony of the battleship Nassau officially began.

“Officers and men of the Imperial Navy, thank you for your service to the Empire. Today, our battleship Nassau is in service, and soon we will have more and more powerful battleships in service. We will also do our best to build more and more powerful warships. The navy will become a sharp blade of the empire, will open up the territory of the empire and open up a broader living space for the entire Germanic nation! ”

Liu Chuan’s speech made all the naval officers and men feel very boosted.

Opening up the territory of the Germanic Empire and opening up a broader living space for the entire Germanic nation is undoubtedly the goal they are striving for.

From now on, the Germanic Imperial Navy has entered a period of rapid development.

Next, the other three battleships of the Nassau class battleships, namely Westphalia, Rhineland and Posen, will also enter service.

And next year, and even at the end of this year, the second dreadnought of the Germanic Navy, the Helgoland-class battleships, will also be in service.

The following year, the first battlecruiser of the Germanic Navy, the Moltke-class battlecruiser, would also be in service.

Moreover, next year and the following year, the construction of new capital ships of the Germanic Empire will also begin.

In this way, every year the Germanic Empire would have capital ships in service, and more powerful capital ships would be built.

The strength of the entire Germanic Empire Navy will become stronger and stronger because of this!

The Germanic Empire held such a grand ceremony for the induction of the battleship Nassau that it was naturally impossible to hide it from other countries. Or rather, the Germanic Empire did not think at all about secrecy.

And this news also caused a great shock in the world.

After all, it is only right that the Sun Never Sets On the Empire equipped with dreadnoughts and walk at the forefront of the development trend of the world’s navies.

The Imperial Navy has been the hegemon of the seas for hundreds of years.

But the rise of the Germanic Imperial Navy is not yet a few years away! Even the Imperial Germanic Navy followed suit with new dreadnoughts, which undoubtedly marked the progress of the world’s navies towards dreadnoughts.

Several other great powers, namely the Gaulish Kingdom, the Tsarist Empire, the Caesar Kingdom, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Lighthouse State, will naturally follow suit.

It can be said that because of the service of the battleship Nassau, the navies of various countries have begun to devote themselves to the development of dreadnoughts.

However, the most shocking thing is still the Empire that never sets.

“O God! Aren’t you saying that the Battleship Intrepid of the Imperial Navy will usher in a new era in which the navies of other countries will not be able to compare with us, or even catch up with us? But why, however, is it that our battleship Dreadnought has only been in service for half a year, and the Germans have already served a dreadnought.

Even behind this battleship, there are three ships of the same class. In the Germanic shipyards, more new dreadnoughts are being built. Was this the advantage of the Imperial Navy over the Germans? ”

Herbert Asquis, the prime minister of the Empire who had just taken office, was furious.

The Minister of the Navy, Sir John Fisher, had a somewhat embarrassed expression.

The previous was blown by the Navy, but now they have been punched in the face.

Or, even Sir John Fisher did not expect that the new dreadnoughts of the Germanic Imperial Navy would enter service so quickly. And, so much was built in one go.

You know, even the Empire that never sets is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and at the beginning only one was built. Subsequently, he dared to start construction on a large scale.
