Liu Chuan planned to equip the German Empire's navy with at least Nassau-class battleships, Helgolan-class battleships, Kaiser-class battleships, K?nig-class battleships, and Bava battleships, as well as at least nine or twelve battlecruisers.
In this case, the number of capital ships in the German Empire's navy would reach 30 or 33.
Perhaps in terms of the number of capital ships, the German Empire's navy could not compare to the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire. However, in terms of single ship performance, the Royal Navy's thin-skinned capital ships were definitely not a match for the Germanic Empire's capital ships.
Especially with the existence of Liu Chuan, who was like a cheat, the capital ships of the Germanic Empire in this time and space were more powerful than those in the other time and space.
Under such circumstances, if a war broke out in the future, the main fleet of the Germanic Empire's navy would definitely be able to beat up the main fleet of the Imperial Navy of the Sun Never Sets. This would not only change the balance of power between the two sides, but it would also allow the navy of the Germanic Empire to gradually reverse the situation and oust the Royal Navy of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets from its throne as the overlord of the sea.
"Gentlemen, we have no other choice now. The future of the empire is in our hands. We must win the next war!”Liu Chuan said firmly.
"The Empire will win!" Liu Chuan shouted.
"The Empire will win!" The ministers of the Germanic Empire also agreed.
Everyone was full of confidence in the future war.
After the Algeciras Conference, the Germanic Empire began to expand its army, which made the situation in Europe even more tense.
When the Germanic Empire's army was expanded, the Gaul Kingdom also expanded its army, increasing the number of their regular army to 800,000. The Russian Empire, an ally of Gaul, even planned to increase its regular army to a frightening 2.3 million.
It was as if a thick cloud of war had begun to accumulate in the sky above Europe.
On the naval side, the Empire's Dreadnaught was being built in an orderly manner. This was bound to be a world-shocking warship that would make the capital ships of other countries obsolete overnight.
However, the people of Sun Never Sets did not know that the German Empire had also begun building dreadnought ships. Furthermore, he was building four of them at once.
The entire Europe was about to enter an intense arms race.
At the end of August 1706, Liu Chuan took a bus to the outskirts of Bolin.
He was riding in a luxurious car. The August Car Company had been established, and he was now riding in luxury cars and trucks.
Although Liu Chuan wasn't a car engineer in his previous life, he was still very talented in mechanics. He had optimized the cars in this space-time, making the cars manufactured by August Car Company more advanced and luxurious.
This quickly snatched orders from Mercedes and Mercedes-Benz.
In the current domestic car market of the Germanic Empire, the cars produced by the August Car Company represented luxury cars. They were the first choice of countless capitalists, factory owners, capitalists, Junkers, and nobles. Even the government of the Imperium had given the order to August Car Company.
Heavy trucks were the strength of the company.
The main products were divided into two types: four-wheeled trucks, which could carry 1.5 tons of goods and could reach a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
The other model was a six-wheeled truck that could carry 2.5 tons of cargo and could also reach a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
The German Army had already placed a huge order with the August Car Company to replace the mules and horses in the army with trucks. At the very least, the mules and horses used to transport logistics and pull cannons would be eliminated.
As the emperor, Liu Chuan rode in a bulletproof car specially produced by August Car Company. It was specially installed with thick steel plates, which could effectively resist close-range shots from rifles.
Behind Liu Chuan's car were a few trucks. It was filled with Imperial Guards.
Although the Germanic Empire's Imperial Guards were not large in size, they were all selected from the elites of the charging army. Their duty was to protect the Emperor.
Liu Chuan left the palace and headed to the outskirts of Bolin to inspect the August Airplane Manufacturing Company and observe the test flight of the company's first aircraft.
In another time and space, people believed that the Wright brothers were the inventor of the airplane.
But in reality, the Wright brothers were not the real number one in the world of flying.
Not to mention the fact that Lilindaar, the inventor of gliders, had already taken off with gliders more than ten years ago. He even died in a glider accident.
The first person to create an airplane was also a German. A German engineer named Gustav Whitehead invented the airplane two years before the Wright brothers.
