Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 557

“If there is no objection from everyone, then the capital ships of various countries are so decided.

The Sun Never Sets Empire will maintain the size of 53 capital ships, of which four Admiral-class battlecruisers are under construction, as well as newly built battleships of the next class, which can break through the treaty limits in displacement.

The Russian Empire would maintain the size of 45 capital ships. Lighthouse State will maintain the size of 29 capital ships. The four Colorado-class battleships under construction and the six Lexington-class battlecruisers that were about to start construction were no longer subject to the treaty.

Gaul will maintain the size of 12 capital ships and can build five more capital ships. The Eastern Empire will also maintain the size of 12 capital ships, which cannot exceed this number.

With regard to the capital ships specified under the treaty, the displacement shall not exceed 35,000 tons, and the caliber of the main guns shall not exceed 16 inches or 410 millimeters!”

Joseph Daniels, Secretary of the Navy of the Beacon Nation, said to the crowd.

All the delegates nodded their heads one after another.

Everyone can barely agree on this aspect.

In fact, agreeing on the capital ships, the restrictions of other warships that follow, are undoubtedly much easier.

“In addition to capital ships, there are aircraft carriers. Our plan is to limit the tonnage of aircraft carriers, the caliber of the main guns, and the total tonnage of aircraft carriers owned by various countries.

The tonnage of an aircraft carrier cannot exceed 27,000 tons. At the same time, the installed gun caliber could not exceed 8 inches, or 210 mm.

The total tonnage of aircraft carriers owned by various countries is 135,000 tons for the Sun Never Set Empire, 135,000 tons for the Tsarist Empire, 135,000 tons for the Lighthouse Country, 81,000 tons for the Gallic Empire and 81,000 tons for the Oriental Empire!”

Joseph Daniels went on to explain their plan.

In this era, countries have actually begun to test aircraft carriers.

It’s just that because of the limitations of technology, the performance of the carrier-based aircraft is too crotch-pulling.

This has led countries to doubt the specific role of aircraft carriers. In other words, it is still firmly believed that aircraft carriers can only do reconnaissance and other work at most, and the main battleships should still be undertaken by battleships or battle cruisers.

The reason why the lighthouse state asked to limit the tonnage and main gun caliber of aircraft carriers was because they were afraid that other countries would secretly build aircraft carriers into capital ships. In that case, wouldn’t that be a breach of the treaty?

“There is no problem with the tonnage of aircraft carriers and the caliber of the main guns. However, in terms of gross tonnage, it is too troublesome. Or like the capital ship, the empire of the sun never sets, the lighthouse country and us, no more than ten. The Eastern Empire and the Gallic State shall not exceed three ships. In this way, it is much simpler~. Admiral Alexander said.

Marshal Alexander knew that Tsar Mikhail attached great importance to aircraft carriers, and even believed that they would be the main force in future naval battles. Therefore, it is natural to want to fight for more aircraft carriers.

Especially when other countries have not paid attention to aircraft carriers at all, if the Russian Empire can build more aircraft carriers with actual combat capabilities. So, wouldn’t the Russian Empire be able to surpass other countries in this regard and be ahead of the whole world?

This is undoubtedly very helpful for improving the strength of the Russian Empire’s navy and even helping the Russian Empire win future wars.

“You have ten too many. If you want to have ten, then the Empire will have six!” Senior Admiral Yuzaburo Kato, Minister of the Navy of the Toyo Empire, quickly expressed his attitude.

They have already been restricted too much in terms of capital ships.

Now it’s the turn of aircraft carriers, and they naturally don’t want to suffer anymore.

Of course, how exactly aircraft carriers are used, whether they have real combat significance, the Orientals themselves do not know.

But this does not prevent them from wanting to fight for more benefits for themselves.

However, in another time and space, although the Oriental people are not the first country to play aircraft carriers, they are definitely playing the country with the most aircraft carriers.

In the early days of the war in another time and space, with a powerful aircraft carrier formation, the Navy of the Beacon Country and the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Set Empire suffered heavy losses and almost dominated the Pacific Ocean.

But this time and space, they obviously did not become.

The Russian Empire was much stronger than them in terms of relevant technologies and tactics involving aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft.

Moreover, the aircraft carriers of the Russian Empire will also have more aircraft carriers than the Orientals. The combat effectiveness and strike capability of carrier-based aircraft will also be stronger. So, how do Orientals in this time and space still mix?

“Ten is too much, eight is enough. The Eastern Imperial Navy, just keep two aircraft carriers!” said Joseph Daniels.

Count David Betty, the First Sea Lord of the Empire that never sets, has no objection to such an arrangement.

This made Admiral Yuzaburo Kato, the minister of the Navy of the Toyo Empire, very angry, but he was suppressed by the Russians and the lighthouse country one after another, and did not dare to say more.

He knew very well that the Russians were undoubtedly more than happy to teach them a lesson at this time.

Although the lighthouse country will not do it, I am afraid that the Russians will do it.

As for their master, the Sun Never Sets Empire, I am afraid that he will not speak for them after both the Russians and the Lighthouse Nation have made their attitude clear.

After all, now the supremacy of the Sun Never Set Empire is shaky and already somewhat unstable.

“In addition to aircraft carriers, we also have to limit heavy cruisers, that is, the main gun caliber of heavy cruisers cannot be larger than 8 inches or 210 mm. Those armored cruisers built before, if they continue to serve, can be ignored. Joseph Daniels continued.

There is no problem with that.

Although the combat power of the heavy cruiser is not weak, the overall combat power is far from comparable to the capital ship.

Today’s countries mainly use heavy cruisers as auxiliary warships. Far from being comparable to later generations, navies have basically regarded destroyers and frigates as their main force.

In this time and space, today’s destroyers are just warships smashed in the navies of various countries.

“Gentlemen, if you have no opinion on the whole plan, then let’s sign the treaty. However, now that the treaty had been signed. Then, it must be observed. Otherwise, we can use all means to ensure the implementation of the treaty!” said Joseph Daniels.

On the side of the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire, there is still no feeling.

However, the Eastern Empire and the Gallic Kingdom may feel great pressure.

Subsequently, the representatives of the countries signed their names on the treaty.

This treaty, known as the Five-Power Naval Treaty, on the limitation of naval armaments of various countries, entered into force.
