The Third Reich: The Return of the King

In fact, it is not just the Yingjiang people who are building warships with great fanfare, the footbath people in the Far East are not slow at all!

Under the guidance and support of their old master, the Tiaoba people gradually established their own shipbuilding industry, and are now able to build large battleships by themselves!

At this time, although Tiaoba was not as rich as Yingjiang, they refused to lag behind in building warships.

By 1922, Takashi had started construction of two Kaga battleships, four Amagi-class battleships, and finalized two Kii-class battleships, plus the Mutsu and the completed Nagato, which had the largest main gun caliber in the world at this time. Battleships, you can get 8 powerful new battleships in a very short time!

Although this number is not as high as the sixteen battleships of Hawthorne, Hawthorne’s fleet will be dispersed to the Atlantic and Pacific directions. Therefore, even if the Peking Navy only builds half of Hawthorne’s number of warships, it will still be enough to deal with Hawthorne’s fleet. Threatening!

After defeating the furry bears, Footpot has no rivals in the Pacific region, and their imaginary enemies have also changed, from the furry bears that were the biggest threat to them before, to the Yingjiang people on the east coast of the Pacific!

In 1893, Eagle Sauce annexed the Hawaiian Islands where a large number of Footpot people settled. This made the Footpots very dissatisfied. In Footpot’s view, the Hawaiian Islands should be annexed by them, but Eagle Sauce actually beat them to it. Having snatched away his prey, there were voices inside the footbath that he would use force against Eagle Sauce and even send troops to recapture the Hawaiian Islands.

However, in 1894, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 broke out between the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Due to the impact of the war, the Jianpan did not have time to compete with the Yingjiang people for the Hawaii Islands. In addition, they also needed the support of the Yingjiang people, so they swallowed their anger.

But in the hearts of the Footpot people, they have never forgotten this matter and are always worried about it.

During World War II, after Takahashi attacked Pearl Harbor and sank a large number of Eagle warships, the country rejoiced and many people asked the army to send troops to completely capture the Hawaiian Islands!

However, before the Footpot people had time to implement this plan, they suffered a disastrous defeat at Midway Island. After the Battle of Midway, Footpot completely lost its advantage in the Pacific and no longer had the ability to execute the plan to attack Hawaii Island!

However, in 1922, before World War II broke out, the enthusiasm of the Footpot people for Hawaii Island was still very high!

As far as footbath is concerned, they are an island country, so developing their navy is their priority!

Therefore, they are extremely concerned about Yingjiang’s naval expansion plan. If Yingjiang’s naval strength increases too much in a short period of time, then Tiaoba will completely lose the ability to compete with Yingjiang for hegemony in the Pacific. What’s more, once it is in the Pacific If the region is overwhelmingly dominated by Eagle Sauce, the homeland of Footbath will be under threat from the Eagle Sauce Navy!

Therefore, even though China has emerged in the shortest time and has the weakest national power among the major powers in the world, they are still working hard. Even the emperor frugally donated money to build ships. The whole country tightened their belts and forcibly They came up with a shipbuilding plan for the Eighth Eighth Fleet!

Although Foot Basin is in the Far East, far away from the mainland, it will not be a good thing for Sun Never Sets if Foot Basin is allowed to develop without restrictions!

Therefore, in September 1922, at the strong request of Marshal Betty, Prime Minister George issued an initiative to the Yingjiang and Footpot governments, inviting all countries to hold a meeting in Fog City to discuss various countries’ naval arms control.

After this invitation was sent out, their response was not very positive whether it was the return of Eagle Sauce.

After all, both countries know that Japan is not trying to limit their maritime exhibitions. If they really want to participate, they will have to wait until those troops in their own shipyards can go!

At that time, the ship was already done, so we couldn’t ask them to dismantle the warships they had already built, right?

Therefore, when faced with the invitation, the two countries showed an attitude of not caring very much and not caring at all, and did not cooperate with the invitation!

Seeing the attitude of Yingjiang and Footbasin, the Sun Never Sets people immediately became a little angry.

After all, they are still the hegemons of the world now, and are not the weaklings they were more than a hundred years ago, so they are a little angry about the attitudes of these two countries!

In October 1922, under the authorization of Prime Minister George, Marshal Betty led the main fleet of the Royal Navy and launched an all-out attack on North America!

This move frightened Yingjiang out of his wits!

Their warships haven’t been completed yet. If they start a fight with Sun Bu Luo at this time, Yingjiang will definitely suffer!

Therefore, Yingjiang immediately relented and expressed his willingness to invite all countries to the capital city of Washington for consultations.

Since Yingjiang had already softened, they didn’t want to go too far until the sun set, so they said that their warship was here for a friendly visit, so they docked in the waters outside Gotham City of Yingjiang.

Yingjiang had no choice. The other party used the guise of a visit, but ended up not docking. This made them feel like Alexander, so they had to take the initiative to invite other countries to participate in the meeting.

However, since arms control is required, we cannot just let the three of them participate, other countries must also participate!

The countries named by Eagle Sauce originally included: The Sun Never Sets, Footpot, Gaul, Hans, Italy, Samba, China, Wooly Bear and Native Chicken. In their own words, there are exactly ten countries!

However, among these ten countries, the furry bear is still in civil war, and it is a red regime.

They are still interfering in the civil war of this country at this time, and the fighting situation on the front line is not good.

If the white furry bear is invited to participate, the white furry bear will It doesn’t make sense to sign an agreement, because the white furry bear looks like it’s about to be beaten to death by the red furry bear, and what they signed is no different from toilet paper!

The situation of the native chicken is similar to that of the woolly bear.

Civil strife and coups also broke out.

The situation of the native chicken is also quite psychedelic.

The will of this country is like a sick man in West Asia.

The failure of the First World War caused them to lose a large area of land and have become They have become a small country locked on the Asia Minor Peninsula.

They have no hope of turning around in the short term, so there is no need to sign a treaty with them.

As for the Samba Country, this country is quite large and has successfully avoided the First World War. However, for some reason, this country is similar to his mother country, the Grape Country, and has always been in a desperate situation. , the failure to develop may be because the Latins are simply not suitable for developing industry or governing the country!

So Samba Country doesn’t have to invite you!

As for the Celestial Empire in the Far East, if this country had a stable central government, it might still threaten the great powers. But at this time, the Celestial Empire was in chaos. They were busy fighting a civil war. How could they have the money to build a new empire? Warship!

So China was also excluded!

As for Hans, due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, even if Hans is not invited to participate in the arms control meeting, the tonnage of Hans’s navy is limited to less than 100,000 tons. In this case, it actually doesn’t matter whether Hans comes or not..

Unless the Allies are merciful and relax their restrictions on Hans and allow them to build warships of larger tonnage, otherwise, the warship Hans just launched will not be strong enough to scratch the itch of all countries!

As a result, the countries participating in the Huasheng City meeting were determined. There were five countries in total:

Eagle Sauce, The Sun Never Sets, Gaul, Footpot, and Italy!

All these five countries were members of the Allied Powers, the victorious powers in World War I, so this meeting was also called the Allied Arms Control Conference!

On October 12, 1922, the Washington City meeting, which was delayed for eight months compared to history, was finally held in the capital of Yingjiang!

And just as the heads of state gathered together for a meeting, an amazing news came from Europe! _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading-
