Chapter 219

The royal family of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, although it has more of a symbolic meaning, has no actual power.

The real power lies mainly in the hands of the cabinet.

However, one has to admit that the influence of the royal family in the Empire on which the sun never sets is still very great.

If nothing else, the wealth accumulated by the royal family over hundreds of years is not a small figure. There is no telling how much gold is stored in the royal family's treasury alone.

During the last world war, the royal family had already allocated a lot of funds to help the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets tide over the difficulties. This time, the royal family obviously cannot continue to sit on the sidelines.

If the royal family can support another amount of funds, the Royal Navy's shipbuilding funds will be available.

"Your Majesty, this is a good idea! said Sir Dudley Pound

"Yes, Sir. I also firmly believe that His Majesty the King will make generous donations for the Royal Navy and the Empire on which the sun never sets! Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Your Excellency, Minister. We build these warships ourselves, even if we go all out in three shifts, it will take at least one and a half to two years. However, have you ever considered whether the Third Reich would give us so much time? With the strength of the Third Reich Navy, it would only take a few months for it to reach its peak and surpass the Royal Navy. Will the Third Reich give us enough time by then? I'm afraid they can't wait to fight us in a decisive battle and defeat us in one fell swoop."General Charles Forbes said.

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Sir Dudley Pound suddenly changed their expressions.

They were not fools and immediately realized that the possibility that General Charles Forbes said would be very high.

"It seems that we have to think of other ways. No matter what, we must be able to withstand the provocation of the Third Reich and buy enough time for the Royal Navy! Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said

"General Forbes, what do you think of this? asked Sir Dudley Pound

"Time is running out now, and it is already too late to build a warship on your own. We can only urgently purchase a batch of warships from abroad for emergencies." said Gen. Charles Forbes.

"Buying a battleship? But where are the suitable battleships? Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain frowned.

There are only a few countries with strong naval powers in the world now.

Needless to say, the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets is now stretched thin.

The navy of the Third Reich is even more powerful than the Empire on which the sun never sets. enemies.

Although the Navy of the Toyo Empire in the Far East is very powerful. However, now that the country is provoking a war, it is naturally impossible to sell warships to the outside world.

As for the Eagle Country on the other side of the ocean, although its navy is very powerful. At the same time, it is also There are also plans to build a large number of cutting-edge warships.

However, the shipbuilding technology of Eagle Country was not very strong in this era. In many aspects, there is a big gap compared with Europe.

Especially the warships built by Eagle Country. All series of warships have more or less shortcomings.

For example, the speed is too low, the impact point of the main gun is too large, etc. The senior officials of the Royal Navy do not think highly of the warships of the Eagle Kingdom.

Although in another In time and space, the Navy of the Eagle Kingdom has also built cutting-edge warships such as the North Carolina, Nanda and Iowa. However, this was after cooperating with the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets and obtaining a large amount of advanced technology from the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. Only then did they successfully build these battleships

"The only suitable country is Eagle Sauce Country. However, the performance of those warships in Yingjiang Country is too bad and cannot meet our needs at all. On the other hand, isolationism is prevalent in the Eagle Country. If they sell warships to us, they will obviously be involved in this war, and they may not be willing to do so. In addition, the expansion of the Eastern Empire in the Pacific has also aroused the vigilance of the Eagle Country. They need to deploy a large number of warships in the Pacific to guard against the Eastern Empire! said Sir Dudley Pound

"Sir, we don't need to buy too many warships from the Eagle Kingdom. As long as we can buy five or six to strengthen the strength of the Royal Navy, the Royal Navy should be able to deal with the threat of the Third Reich Navy. After all, the performance of the eight P-class battleships in the Third Reich Navy was not very good. In addition to speed, the relatively older treaty battleships of the Eagle Country should be able to deal with them. In this case, the urgent needs of the Royal Navy can be greatly alleviated. As long as we can survive this period of time and wait for the warships built by the Royal Navy to enter service, we have nothing to fear."Admiral Charles Forbes said.

Sir Dudley Pound nodded:"If we can purchase five or six battleships from the Eagle Country, that would naturally be the best."

"However, if we deliver it to your door like this, wouldn't we be prepared to be brutally slaughtered by the Eagle Sauce Country? Don't forget, the Eagle Country has never forgotten many of our advanced technologies. For example, large-caliber naval gun technology, new power systems, radar and other electronic technologies, etc.!"Sir Dudley Pound frowned tightly.

"Sir, for the Royal Navy, the most important thing at the moment is to resist the attack of the Third Reich. This is the most important and fundamental. If we lose, everything will be very troublesome." said Gen. Charles Forbes.

"Okay, Your Excellency Sir, Your Excellency General. I agree to purchase warships from Eagle Country. If the Eagle Country wants those technologies, it can be sold to them. Of course, the empire cannot afford to suffer. The Third Reich is very powerful, and we need to maintain good relations with the Eagle Country. In this case, it may be able to help in the future. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had already made up his mind.

Sir Dudley Pound was stunned, and then nodded.

In the last world war, the Eagle Country was on the side of the Allies and gave the Allies the last chance. If this time, they can tie the Eagle Country to their tank again, it would be the best, which would help them defeat the Third Reich and win the final victory of this war.

"General Forbes, on behalf of the Navy, please go to the Eagle Country with Foreign Secretary Edward Wood. We must implement cooperation with the warships of the Eagle Country as soon as possible. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Prime Minister!"Admiral Charles Forbes has no objections to this._
