In addition to strengthening the development of surface ships such as battleships, cruisers and destroyers, the Imperial Navy has never relaxed the development of new weapons.∽↗ However, in this era, battleships with giant ships and cannons are still symbols of power. So other weapons are covered in the glory of battleships. Of course, the importance of these new weapons in the future is still self-evident.

When the "Tang-class" battleship was put into service, the Imperial Emperor Long Yufei also inspected the development of the Imperial Navy's submarines at the China Shipyard. In the decisive battle with the British Navy, the Imperial Navy's cruisers and destroyers launched torpedoes, which gave the British Navy a heavy blow. With the successful establishment and development of medium-sized torpedoes and even heavy torpedoes, the effect of the torpedoes is becoming increasingly important. The Imperial Navy also urgently needs another torpedo launching platform. Under such circumstances, the Imperial Emperor Long Yufei proposed a submarine development plan.

However, compared to the two sides' duels with giant ships and cannons, the generals of the Imperial Navy have some resistance to submarines. If the battleship is a knight in heavy armor, then the submarine is undoubtedly a despicable assassin hidden in the dark side. Therefore, the generals of the navy do not like submarines very much. However, everyone knows the importance of submarines very well. With the attention of the Imperial Emperor Long Yufei, the development of submarines is proceeding in an orderly manner. However, it will take a certain amount of time to truly assemble the troops.

The official entry of the Imperial Navy's "Tang-class" battleship has caused a great shock to the whole world. The Chinese Navy has not been in service for several years, which has made other countries somewhat paralyzed. But now, the entry of the "Tang-class" battleship has undoubtedly once again sounded a wake-up call for all countries, letting them know that the development speed of the Chinese Navy is still very rapid. If they want to compare with the Imperial Navy, there is also a huge gap. We need to continue to work hard.

The German side had already learned the news on the second day after the "Tang-class" battleship was launched. This made the German senior executives feel tremendous pressure. Their "Brandenburg-class" battleships are still in place and have not started the final sea test. The "Caesar Frederick III" battleships and subsequent battleships are still on the ship platform. However, the Chinese Navy has already begun to enter the battleships on a large scale. It can be foreseen that more and more battleships will be served in the later period. Germany will be thrown away again.

"The Chinese Navy's 'Tang-class' battleships have a displacement of 26,000 tons, which is 8,000 tons more than the Brandenburg-class' battleships. In addition, the three triple-mounted 343mm main guns equipped by the 'Tang-class' battleships make their firepower very terrifying. They are far stronger than our Brandenburg-class' battleships. Only the 'Caesar Frederick III-class' battleships can be compared with it. However, we have obtained an intelligence that the Chinese 'Tang-class' battleships will build a total of 24 ships, divided into three levels: 'early Tang-class', 'mid-Tang-class' and 'late Tang-class', and each level will have some improvements. These battleships will all be in service in the next two years!" Prince Felix, the German Navy Minister, said with a serious face.

Although the German Navy's shipbuilding plan is already very terrifying, it still feels like a slim compared to the Chinese Navy. The Chinese Navy's background is much larger than that of the German Navy. If the German Navy wants to compare with the Chinese Navy, the gap is really not too big. This makes Prince Felix, the naval minister, feels that the pressure on his shoulders is very great.

German Emperor William I and the senior German officials did not say a word. Although the two countries have not yet broken up, the hostility and competition between the two countries can be seen by people all over the world. It can be foreseeable that it will take long before the two countries will have conflicts or even wars. The Chinese Navy's battleship, which is like dumplings, undoubtedly puts great pressure on the Germans!

"Damn Chinese, where did they get so much money? Aren't they afraid of dragging down their economy?" Crown Prince Frederick William said very dissatisfied. Of course, everyone could hear the sourness in his words. After all, compared with Germany, the Chinese Empire was too rich, and their shipbuilding funds and other military expenses were very sufficient, unlike Germany who needed to make careful calculations. Compared with the two, the Chinese Empire was simply a rich man, while Germany was a poor silk.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Chinese gained a lot in the last world war. The wealth they plundered in the war alone was enough for them to build hundreds or even more advanced battleships! What's more, the 800 million Chinese yuan of funds provided to the Chinese every year has already guaranteed the Chinese military expenditure. In terms of financial resources, we are indeed unable to compare with the Chinese!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck sighed. Although he tried every means to develop the German economy so that Germany would not be too far away by the Chinese Empire. However, due to innate factors, the Chinese Empire was too much ahead of Germany. It was very difficult for Germany to win.

"Are those damn Indians willing to be oppressed and exploited by the Chinese? It is necessary for Indians to realize this and let them resist the Chinese rule. In this way, the Chinese will not only not be able to obtain huge wealth from India, but will also be restrained by a lot of energy. In this way, their development speed will have to slow down, and we will have the opportunity to catch up with them again!" said Frederick William.

In order to fight against the Chinese Empire and defeat the Chinese Empire, the Germans have already tried their best. Whether they support the white people in North America to resist the rule of the Chinese Empire or support local indigenous forces in other places, as long as they can cause trouble for the Chinese Empire, the Germans are willing to do it. Of course, this also shows the guilt of the Germans. They cannot confront the Chinese Empire head-on and cannot defeat the Chinese Empire, so they can only take these despicable measures.

"Our deployment in India and Japan needs to speed up the progress. As the Chinese armament develops faster and faster, the gap between us and them will only become bigger and bigger. Therefore, we must find other ways to delay the development of the Chinese!" German Emperor William I also said solemnly.

India is a populous country second only to the Chinese Empire. Although the Chinese Empire has become the emperor of India, it is just a name. The directly governed by the Chinese Empire is just near Kolkata. The other places are all under the control of two hundred national states in India. The Indians' submissive nature allows these national rulers to easily enslave the Indians, riding on the necks of those Indians to act as a blessing, and plunder their wealth.

However, there are not many people who are dissatisfied with this. Originally, India had thousands of national states, but the emperor of the Chinese Empire felt that there were too many national states and it was difficult to manage, so he supported those national states that surrendered to the Chinese Empire to attack and annex other national states, making India's national states become 200. Many original national states had lost their territory, which made them very dissatisfied with the Chinese Empire and even the current Indian ruling order. In addition, the progress of the times also made some knowledgeable people among the Indians realize that India should not continue like this. Therefore, they wanted to rise up to resist the colonial rule of the Chinese Empire. And behind this, the Germans were naturally inseparable from the fuel.

If there is turmoil in India, the Chinese Empire will inevitably send a large number of troops to suppress the rebellion. At the same time, the Chinese Empire will not be able to continue to extract India's wealth to develop itself. It can be said that if there is turmoil in India, it will be a complete victory for two birds with one stone.

Japan was another colony of the Chinese Empire. After being occupied by the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire supported the Onoderian family and the other three powerful vassals to rule Japan. The Japanese emperor was also directly executed. Because of his increasing poverty, many Japanese had to go to work in the Chinese Empire. Generally speaking, male Japanese people worked in mines or construction sites and worked as coolies. The female Japanese became the main force in major entertainment venues in the empire. This also exchanged a lot of foreign exchange for Japan and restored the Japanese economy.

Similarly, some knowledgeable people among the Japanese also realized the oppression and exploitation of the Chinese Empire on Japan, and they wanted to rise up to resist the rule of the Chinese Empire. However, the Chinese Empire is the well-deserved overlord in the world. It is very difficult for them to resist the rule of the Chinese Empire. It just so happened that at this time, the Germans, the second most powerful country in the world, took the initiative to throw an olive branch to them. With the secret support of the Germans, the resistance organizations among the Japanese were secretly growing and growing.

Of course, these Indians and Japanese are just chess pieces of the Germans. The Germans do not expect to rely on them to deal with the Chinese Empire a heavy blow. They only hope to use this to restrain the energy of the Chinese Empire and give Germany more time to develop.

"From now on, increase support for Indians and Japanese. At the latest next year, I will see them making the Chinese anxious!" William I said. In order to defeat the Chinese Empire, he no longer has a bottom line and decided to do everything.

"Yes, your majesty!" Count Moltch nodded. The German intelligence agency is under the responsibility of the German General Staff, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gives them certain cooperation. Count Moltch knew that there was not much time left for Germany and it must be launched as soon as possible. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
