Did Shimamura Suo tell the truth to Betty? He must have told the truth. He admitted very frankly that the Japanese Navy did order an aircraft carrier from France. But Shimamura Suo still retained a lot of Betty! At least in all the details of this plan called the No. 7 plan, Shimamura Suo did not reveal a trace of it to Betty! There is a reason why this plan No. 7 is kept so closely, because this plan can be seen as the Japanese Navy's exploration and attempt to develop aircraft carriers in the future!

The Japanese did order a large number of aircraft carriers from the British, and the British's level of operation of aircraft carriers was indeed much better than that of the Japanese. It can be said that the Japanese benefited a lot from the exchanges. But at the same time, the Japanese understood that everything the British knew was already past experience. Due to the defeat and the restrictions of the Germans, it would be very difficult for the British to build a new large aircraft carrier in the future, and they would not even think about it within ten years!

Maybe some people have said that the British are helping Japanese artificial aircraft carriers now? And the tonnage is not small, which is true. But in fact, these ships are structurally basic, and the design is very unreasonable. It is OK to operate the current small aircraft, but if you want to equip larger aircraft, it will be very difficult. To put it bluntly, the aircraft carriers ordered by Japan from the UK are only for emergency use. In fact, the German aircraft carriers are actually the same. They can be used during the war. After the war, everyone is ready to retire the old aircraft carriers and then leave the tonnage and money to prepare for building a new aircraft carrier...

Therefore, for Japan, a country with extreme desire for maritime power, it is necessary to keep up with the trend and pace of world development. However, who guided the trend in this world? The front is naturally Germany, but Germany will not share relevant designs and technologies with Japan. The following are Britain and the United States, so the United States will not talk about it. It wants to completely kill Japan at all times! As for the UK? This is a model that will be quickly beaten to death by the waves on the beach. Japan and the United Kingdom also have plans to cooperate in the production of armored aircraft carriers, but based on the principle that eggs cannot be placed in one basket, the Japanese have to find another partner.

Therefore, Japan can only choose other partners. Austro-Hungary Empire? Technically enough. After all, the mistress of the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau, which has the highest German ship design level, is the future queen of Austro-Hungary. But the Austro-Hungary Empire will not provide technology and support to the Japanese. Not to mention Russia, this poor country no longer needs to have a navy in the future. Russia only has a corner of the Gulf of Finland. The Black Sea has been insulated from Russia. As for the Far East? Haha, the Japanese do not plan to return Vladivostok!
