Any promise or agreement between countries and countries is invalid! Want to limit a country with a piece of paper? That is impossible!
Only strength can really limit a country! Only if you are strong can you have a say!
And the past few years have been a period of rapid development in Germany!
In the past few years, when Germany advanced into the Rhineland, it was still cautious. As long as Britain showed a slight opposition, it had to leave quickly. Now, the strength of the German army is developing rapidly! In a few years, the German fleet will really become stronger. Isn't the agreement a piece of paper?
After the meeting, Cyric reported to Hitler, and Hitler agreed with Cyric's negotiation plan.
So, a few days later, the Anglo-German naval agreement was finally officially born!
The general content of the agreement is the same as Cyric’s proposal. The total tonnage of German naval vessels shall not exceed 35 percent of the total tonnage of Commonwealth countries' naval vessels stipulated in the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty. With regard to submarines, Germany guarantees that the tonnage of submarines in possession will not exceed 45 percent of the total tonnage of submarines of the Commonwealth National Navy.
When this treaty was signed, there was an uproar across Europe.
It has only been more than ten years since the Treaty of Versailles was signed, and Britain actually denied the Treaty of Versailles! This is simply an insult to the martyrs who died in World War I! It is an insult to other countries!
The French foreign affairs department immediately expressed their strong indignation against the British agreement, and they launched a serious protest to the British! The diplomatic relations between the two countries also suffered a major setback for a while!
"A country that only knows how to protest is a country without bones! A government that only knows how to protest is a government without bones!" Cyric remembered Hitler's famous saying in history, so he said without hesitation Came out, and this sentence is not a satire of the Weimar government, but the current French government.
Soft government! Just as soft as the Weimar government!
The atmosphere in the meeting room is quite lively.
"Yeah, we don't have to worry about Britain and France. Now, our most important thing is to formulate our naval development plan. During World War I, our navy was so controlled by Britain and France. Now, we must not repeat the war. The mistake!" Hitler said.
Britain, the veteran capitalist country, the empire that never sets, the British sea fleet is the most powerful!
And now, with the signing of the Anglo-German naval agreement, Germany can finally no longer worry about the tonnage issue. Now, it must develop as soon as possible!
"Now, our battleship Bismarck is under construction." Cyric said: "This warship, we have to build at least two ships, and the second ship is also on the agenda."
As in history, the Bismarck-class battleship is the pride of the German Navy! And this battleship has some changes with history, the biggest change, of course, is the main gun!
Historically, the Bismarck-class battleship used a 380 mm gun, which was the result of helplessness.
Although the design of the 406mm main gun was chosen, it will be far better than the 380mm main gun in terms of projectile weight, artillery range and power. But at that time, Germany had never produced such a large-caliber gun, lacking experience and technical support, and there was a certain risk.
And now, this risk is gone, because Krupp has already started to build this type of naval gun for the Soviet Union. Krupp already has a mature plan for the construction and experiment of the 406 mm naval gun! Therefore, after the Bismarck battleship was approved, the 406mm naval gun was chosen!
This kind of battleship requires at least two!
After construction, it will surpass the British Royal Navy's flagship, the battlecruiser Hood, and become the world's highest tonnage warship at that time.
"At the same time, the German class is a product of the Treaty of Versailles. It does not conform to the development of the navy. Therefore, the construction of the subsequent No. 3 and No. 4 ships should be stopped, and new Hipper-class cruisers and new general-purpose destroyers should be developed. ."
If you want to win World War II, the German Navy must make great progress! In this meeting, Cyric was almost the protagonist. He enthusiastically raised his own opinions on the navy's departure from the control of the Treaty of Versailles and its tonnage was multiplied. The navy commander agreed with his opinions.
"However, this will involve huge capital investment." After Cyric finished speaking, Goring on the side said strangely: "Now, we can't just develop the navy. Our three major services must be taken into account. ."
Obviously, investing too much in the Navy will inevitably affect the funding for the Army and Air Force!
"Don't worry about this." Cyrek said: "Tell everyone good news. The Soviet Union ~www.novelhall.com~ has agreed to my proposal. They will use their ore to order a ship with us. The same aircraft carrier as the Zeppelin class."
This is really good news! When receiving the adjutant's report between the meetings, Cyric couldn't believe his ears!
The Soviet Union actually agreed! Even in the Soviet Union, a railway was built specifically to transport ore to connect with Europe!
In this way, a large amount of ore from the Soviet Union will be continuously transported to Germany. For Germany, it does not require any investment in resources. It only needs to invest in labor to smelt the ore into high-quality steel. Build! Production costs will be greatly reduced!
As for building an aircraft carrier for the Soviet Union, hehe, this joke is really funny!
So, Goring stayed aside and stopped talking.
Everyone can feel a strange atmosphere. Last time, because of the Navy, Cyric and Goring had a conflict, but now, the conflict has obviously deepened.
"General Cyric, you seem to have forgotten our submarine just now." At this moment, Dunnitz said.
Battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, these, Cyric has said all over, just missed the submarine!
"Yes, there are also submarines. We must also develop large ocean-going submarines. In the Atlantic Ocean, submarines can do a lot." Cyric continued to talk, ignoring Golin's purple face.
Submarine is only one part of the naval battle. If you rely entirely on submarines, just like Germany in later generations, it would be very tragic to engage in wolf pack tactics in the Atlantic. After being separated from surface ships, submarines would die miserably.
However, this does not mean that submarines are useless. During the First World War, German submarines taught Britain a heavy lesson!
