The empire where the sun never sets, the city of fog.
After entering winter, the weather in Fog City is very bad, and the whole city seems to be shrouded in thick fog.
Of course, this makes the people who never set the sun very proud, thinking that this is a manifestation of industrial development.
However, when people soon discovered that these days never set, countless people were seriously ill and many died. Only then will they know that all this is definitely not as beautiful as it seems~.
Now the sun never sets, and people are still enjoying the treatment of the people of the world's most powerful country. They are able to hold their heads up high all over the world, and no one dares to embarrass them at all. and this
Also let the sun never set people are proud of their own country.
In the Prime Minister's Office in Downing Street, Arthur Bell, the new Prime Minister of the Empire on which the sun never sets, is discussing the current situation with the cabinet ministers.
Although, the prime minister has changed. However, the Conservative Party is still in power. Therefore, almost all the policies of the empire on which the sun never sets can continue.
For the empire on which the sun never sets, the most difficult task is undoubtedly to ensure the hegemony of the empire on which the sun never sets, contain the development of other countries, and prevent them from posing a threat to the hegemony of the empire on which the sun never sets.
The current empire on which the sun never sets, although it is still at its peak. However, challengers have emerged one after another. This caused the top management of the empire on which the sun never sets to bear tremendous pressure. If during their term of office, the hegemony of the empire on which the sun never sets is terminated. Then, they will be the sinners of the empire on which the sun never sets!
Arthur Bell, the Prime Minister, is also having a headache for this.
"Gentlemen, the current situation is becoming more and more tense. In other words, the empire is under increasing pressure. On the other side of the ocean, that rebel is developing rapidly. Their industrial strength has already ranked first in the world. On the European continent, the development of the Germanic Empire is also very rapid. They have also surpassed us in terms of industrial output value, ranking first in Europe and second in the world. In terms of industry, we can only rank second in Europe and second in the world. Third. If we hadn't had a vast colony for us to sell our goods, our industry would have been destroyed." Arthur Bell Fu said.
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. However, although the national strength of the Beacon Country is constantly increasing, there is still a big gap between them and the world's first-class level in the field of advanced technology. Especially in the military field, they have just It's just a start. Even if the Lighthouse Congress is a threat to us, it will be a long time later.
But the Germanic Empire is different. There is only a narrow North Sea between them and the empire. The Germanic Empire was not only powerful in industry. At the same time, technology is also very advanced. More importantly, they have huge ambitions. They already have the world's largest army. But their emperor seems to want to have the world's number one navy. "
Foreign Secretary Fitzmaurice reminded.
"Your Excellency, according to the exact information we have received, the Germans' 'Brandenburg-class' battleships have begun to be refitted to further enhance the combat power of this class of warships. At the same time, the Germans also have five 'Caesarfields' The Lie III-class battleship has already entered service. Although, the caliber of the main guns of this battleship has dropped to 240mm. Moreover, the number of main guns has also been reduced to four. However, these four 240mm main guns are all rapid-fire guns , is already the largest caliber rapid-fire gun that can be manufactured in this era. In addition, the Germanic five 'Weichersbach-class' battleships, except for the second ship, the other four have already entered service .And, on the berth of the German shipyard, there are still five 'Brunswick-class' battleships under construction. It is expected that they will enter service in the next year and the year after. There are even five 'Germanic-class' battleships 'Battleships are also placed on the berth, and construction is already underway.
As you can imagine, once all these warships of the Germans are completed. Then, they will serve up to 24 battleships. This is undoubtedly a great threat to the Royal Navy!"
The attitude of Lord Walter Kerr, the Secretary of the Navy, was particularly fierce.
You know, the mainland of the Empire on which the sun never sets is too close to the Germanic Empire. The Germans built warships and developed their navy with such great fanfare. You don't need to think about it, you know, it's all for the empire on which the sun never sets!
Once the German Empire's shipbuilding plan is completed, they will become the second most powerful navy in the world after the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets. This definitely poses a fatal threat to the empire on which the sun never sets.

Of course, the strength of the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets is undoubtedly stronger. For now, the number of battleships in service of the Imperial Navy on which the sun never sets, even without counting the old ironclad ships, is already 40, including eight 'Sovereign-class' battleships, two 'Barfleur-class' battleships, Battleship 'Prestige', nine battleships 'Majesty', six
"Old Man Star" battleship, three "Fearful-class" battleships, five "Fog City-class" battleships, and six Duncan-class battleships.
Moreover, on the berth of the Royal Navy's shipyard where the sun never sets, there are two 'Fast Class' battleships and eight 'Edward VII' class battleships under construction.
In the Royal Navy's shipbuilding plan, there are two "Lord Nelson-class" battleships, which will soon start construction.
Once these twelve battleships are completed and put into service, the number of battleships in the Royal Navy can reach fifty-two.
This number is more than double the 24 ships of the German Empire Navy.
But even so, the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets still seems insecure. They still hope to have more and more powerful warships to suppress other enemies and maintain their hegemony.
Prime Minister Arthur Bell nodded again and again. The Royal Navy is the cornerstone of the empire on which the sun never sets, and it is the most powerful weapon to maintain the world hegemony of the empire on which the sun never sets. It will be very necessary to maintain the strength of the Royal Navy. It is not only related to the hegemony of the empire on which the sun never sets, but also to the survival of the empire on which the sun never sets.
"Isn't the Navy planning to build a more advanced warship? When will it start?" Prime Minister Arthur Bell asked.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we are making preliminary preparations. However, I guarantee that once this warship is completed and put into service, it will definitely be an epoch-making warship!" Lord Walter Kerr smiled.
They seem to have forgotten that the Tsarist Empire has already built battleships with unified heavy artillery, and zero has been in service.
