Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 552

Robert Lansing, the second commander of the Lighthouse State, and Joseph Daniels, the secretary of the Navy, couldn’t help but frown. Although they have long expected it. After proposing such a limit on the total tonnage of capital ships this time, it will definitely be opposed by other countries. However, they did not seem to expect that all countries would strongly oppose it.

“Gentlemen, we do this to stop the naval arms race and for world peace. Robert Lansing said.

“If that’s the price the empire needs to pay for world peace.” Then, the Empire would rather this meeting end and let the naval arms race continue!”

“Your Excellency, if the sun does not set and the Empire insists on going its own way. Well, we won’t give up either. Next, the Lighthouse Nation Navy will begin construction of six Lexington-class battlecruisers and six South Dakota-class battleships. These warships are capital ships equipped with 406mm guns!” Joseph Daniels threatened directly.

Count David Betty’s face was ugly, he could already be sure that the Lighthouse Country was really a wolf ambition!

For warships equipped with 406mm guns alone, it is planned to build up to 16 ships. If they succeed, they will inevitably become a henchman of the Royal Navy.

“The Royal Navy is not afraid of any challenge. Our N3-class and G3-class battleships will start construction soon. And we’re going to build more powerful ships!” Count David Betty stood-for-tat, refusing to back down.

For a while, the atmosphere of the meeting became more tense.

“If this meeting fails, countries continue the naval arms race.” So, have you ever wondered what kind of impact this will have on the economies of various countries. Even how tense the world situation will be. Perhaps, a new big war will break out soon~. Robert Lansing reminded.

The faces of George Curzon, the foreign minister of the empire, and Count David Betty, the first sea lord, were very ugly.

The Lighthouse Country is clearly threatening them!

Lighthouse Nation has great industrial and economic strength. In the last world war, there were almost no losses, but a lot of gains. More importantly, they took advantage of the opportunity of the war to sell a large amount of military materials and other materials, which can be described as a war windfall.

In contrast, the financial resources of the Sun Never Set Empire are a little tight. If the naval arms race continues, I am afraid that the Sun Never Sets Empire will not last long.

What’s more, once the war broke out again, the Sun Never Set Empire did not have much confidence in whether it could win. Even if you pay heavy losses in the war again. Then, I am afraid that their hegemony is really shaky.

The faces of Gaul Foreign Minister George Legg and Minister of the Navy Adolf Landry were also ugly.

Gaul undoubtedly least wanted the naval arms race to continue, let alone the outbreak of war again. None of them have yet recovered from the great losses of the last war. If war breaks out again now, won’t it cost them their old lives?

Also frightened by the wealth of the Lighthouse Country was the Eastern Empire.

In order to build a powerful navy, the Eastern Empire has already tightened its belts throughout the country. However, the Lighthouse Nation was able to casually develop the construction of up to 16 powerful capital ships equipped with 406mm guns.

If this plan of the Lighthouse Country is successfully implemented, then the Eastern Empire will not be able to keep up at all!

However, the two foreign ministers of the Russian Empire, Zicherin, and the minister of the navy, Marshal Alexander, did not change their expressions. It seems that they are not frightened by the lighthouse country at all.

“If the Lighthouse Nation is determined to build more warships on a massive scale. Well, the empire can only keep up. The Empire will start working on more new warships as soon as possible. With the financial resources of the empire, this is definitely not a problem. Moreover, I am afraid of the outbreak of war. With the strength of the empire, it is enough to cope. And we firmly believe that the Empire will still be the winner of the next war!” Marshal Alexander looked confident.

Robert Lansing, the second commander of the Lighthouse State, and Joseph Daniels, the secretary of the Navy, had equally ugly faces.

They are well aware that the Russian Empire had such self-confidence because they had such strength and capital.

The Russian Empire had the largest territory and largest population in the world. At the same time, it also has the most powerful army in the world, as well as an advanced industrial system. Even without the navy, the Russian Imperial Army was able to sweep across Europe.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that the Russian Empire was the least afraid of the outbreak of war.

This makes the threat of the Beacon State useless at all. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

“The Sun Never Sets Empire believes that the Royal Navy can retain one and a half thousand tons of capital ship tonnage. The lighthouse country and the Russian Empire, which can retain the tonnage of capital ships of 600,000 tons. The Eastern Empire and the Gallic Kingdom can obtain 300,000 tons of capital ship tonnage!” said Count David Betty.

In this way, the hegemony of the Sun Never Set Empire can still be guaranteed. The Royal Navy could challenge the Lighthouse Navy and the Imperial Russian Navy almost simultaneously. Their maritime supremacy will be unbreakable.

However, such a proposal was immediately opposed by the Beacon State and the Russian Empire, as well as by other countries.

“The Russian Empire believed that we could retain 1.2 million tons of capital ship tonnage. The Sun Never Sets Empire and the Lighthouse Nation can also retain a million tons of capital ship tonnage. The Eastern Empire and the Gallic State can obtain 300,000 tons of capital ship tonnage!” Marshal Alexander also put forward his own point.

Similarly, this was strongly opposed by other countries (Wang Zhaozhao).

Every country wants to gain an advantage in the tonnage limit of capital ships and prepare for the next maritime hegemony.

At the same time, they also want to suppress other countries and ensure their advantages as much as possible.

Especially the Sun Never Sets Empire, they not only want to obtain the most capital ship tonnage, but also want to greatly surpass other countries and thrive. These days do not fall, and they are undoubtedly still living in the era when they are like the sky!

Other countries, of course, will not agree. This makes the attitude of all countries at this meeting very sharp, which can be described as-for-tat.

The meeting soon became unbearable. Because the differences are too great to reach an agreement.

As a last resort, Robert Lansing, the second commander of the Lighthouse State, had to declare the meeting temporarily suspended. Everyone calm down before proceeding with the meeting.
