Navy Secretary Churchill glanced around, realizing that in the grand British Cabinet, no cabinet member actually supported him.
Left without a choice, Churchill eventually agreed to the 1 to 1.5 construction proposal put forward by Foreign Minister Edward.
Of course, this does not mean that Britain would build half a battleship, but that for every two battleships Germany builds, the British Empire must build at least three to maintain a numerical advantage.
This is a concession from Churchill to the other Cabinet Government officials, as well as a financial concession from the British Empire to Germany.
But this is actually very normal. After all, although the British Empire has the most powerful navy fleet in the world, this fleet has to protect a true sun-never-setting empire.
Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, and Oceania—these six continents with large populations living on them—all have British territories or colonies.
