"How should we deal with it?"
Hindenburg took Mainz's guess seriously when he heard it.
Hans' resources are not very rich, and many resources and production raw materials need to be imported. If the British Empire really blocks Hans' trade routes, then Hans' domestic industrial production will inevitably be greatly affected.
"It's very simple. Infiltrate southern and eastern Europe and open up the transportation channels of Eurasia. If we don't go through the sea, can't we get raw materials?"
Mainz sneered. There must be a way when the car reaches the mountain. The British Sun did this, and its significance to Hans was almost the same as the significance of the Polish invasion of Hans, that is, it gave Hans an excuse to vigorously develop the navy!
Just after the British Sun and Gaul issued this ultimatum, Mainz repeated the same trick. He once again held a press conference for the whole world, and publicly announced the documents of the ultimatum issued by the British Sun and Gaul at the press conference.
Reporters from various countries immediately rushed to pick up their cameras like sharks that smelled blood. The camera took a lot of photos!
This kind of thing is really rare. The ultimatum between countries is really rare!
Moreover, every time this kind of thing appears, either one side makes a major concession, or both sides refuse to give in, and then a war breaks out to solve the problem through war!
While taking pictures, reporters from various countries began to be curious: Hans just fought a war with Poland, which was supported by the British Empire and the Gauls. Could it be that the British Empire and the Gauls are going to personally go out and fight a larger-scale war with Hans?
"The British Empire relied on its powerful ships and cannons to try to force other countries to surrender by force. They have done this countless times in the past few hundred years, using their navy and their cannons to threaten the coastal defense and national security of countries with coastlines around the world, and countless countries have suffered greatly from it!"
This sentence can be said to have touched the hearts of European countries. As long as a European country has a coastline, there is almost no country that has not been beaten by the British Empire, so they can empathize with Mainz's words.
The reporter of the British Empire felt a little trembling. The moment Mainz finished saying this, he felt the unfriendly eyes from other colleagues at the press conference. He seemed to be isolated in an instant!
The reporter of the British Empire subconsciously cast a look of help to his colleagues in Gaul, but he didn't expect that even the Gauls were staring at them angrily at this time, as if they were going to tear them apart!
The reporter of the British Empire remembered that the Gauls had also been beaten by the navy of the British Empire, and were even pressed by the British Empire. They have been rubbing against each other on the ground for more than a hundred years!
The hatred between their two countries may be even greater than the hatred of the Gauls for Hans!
Mainz was very satisfied with the reactions of reporters from various countries in the venue.
As the troublemaker of Europe, the British Empire has done a very good job of stirring up trouble, and behind this excellent work is the tragic history of other countries being beaten up by the British Empire!
Therefore, as long as he stirs up hatred against the British Empire, he will not worry about not finding someone to respond!
So Mainz continued,"This time, the people of Luo used the same old tricks again and targeted us again, trying to force us to surrender. I want to say that they have completely miscalculated and chose the wrong people because they thought we were easy to bully, but we Hans people will not look at other people's faces, and will not be swayed by other people's power!"
"If our ships encounter any accidents or mishaps at sea, we will immediately regard it as a war against our country. Once the war begins, we will never retreat unless the enemy compromises. The people of Hans have the ability and determination to defend their country and are not afraid of any invaders!"
Mainz's statement was very strong, and the meaning was very clear. If the British Royal Navy imposed a naval blockade on Hans, it would be equivalent to a war, and the two sides would be in a situation of life and death. Unless the British Royal Navy has the ability to beat Hans down, otherwise, Hans will fight with the British Royal Navy to the last drop of blood, even if they die together in the end!
This statement encouraged the people of Hans. They agreed with their prime minister's statement and believed that Hans should not give in to the British Royal Navy!
Although the Hans people knew that their own navy was quite weak and was no match for the British Royal Navy, they had the courage to show their swords to the enemy, dare to make their attitude clear, and draw their bottom line. If the other party dared to trample on it wantonly, then they would not mind. Willing to perish together with the other party!
The dignity of Germany cannot be challenged!
Of course, Mainz is not just a talker. After he made this public statement and indicated Hans' bottom line, he immediately submitted a shipbuilding plan to Congress to increase naval appropriations and develop the navy's main battleships to cope with the threat of the British Empire!
This shipbuilding plan is very large.
Mainz plans to build 25 main battleships with a displacement of more than 45,000 tons, 12 aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 55,000 tons, and 12 battlecruisers with a displacement of more than 33,000 tons within five years!
In addition, the navy has also ordered 120 submarines of various models to develop the German army's underwater power.
Before the large battleships are launched, they have the ability to deal with the British Empire.
The combat capability of the army!
After this shipbuilding plan was submitted to Congress, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole world!
After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty last year, the five major naval powers in the world suspended their naval shipbuilding plans, and the tonnage of their main naval battleships was also restricted.
In this case, if the Hans people really expand their navy according to their plan, then no matter whether it is the Royal Navy of the British Empire, or the navies of Gaul, Foot Basin, Italy, and Eagle Sauce, when facing Hans' navy, they will be powerless!
Apart from anything else, the tonnage of Hans' main battleships is about to break through 4,500 tons, and the main battleships of other countries are limited to 35,000 tons.
The gap of 10,000 tons is completely…
It's the difference in combat effectiveness!
For battleships, the larger the tonnage, the thicker the armor and the larger the caliber of the main gun, and these two data are the embodiment of the combat effectiveness of battleships!
Therefore, whether it is the Sun Never Sets, Gaul, or even the people in the Far East, after learning that the Hans intend to vigorously develop the navy and set off a naval shipbuilding frenzy, they can't sit still!
If the Hans really succeed, then the battleships in everyone's home will become paper paste, allowing the Hans to ravage at will?
No, no, this is absolutely not possible!
The Hans must not be allowed to go crazy like this!
However, there are not many choices in front of them: either send troops together to beat Hans down, help Hans change the dynasty, and force them to give up this plan!
Or they help Hans solve the threat of the Sun Never Sets and let Hans give up this crazy plan. In this way, their own interests will not be threatened!
If Eagle Sauce, Foot Basin, Italy, the British Empire and Gaul all send troops together, then the first plan may still be realized!
With this plan, the British Empire urgently invited all countries to hold a meeting in Fog City, the capital of the British Empire, to discuss how to deal with this matter!
Obviously, the British Empire intends to organize a five-nation coalition!
However, just as they were thinking about their own little calculations, a frightening news came from Hans:
Hans established diplomatic relations with the Russian bear!
