Australasia had essentially ceased research on battleships and maintained a level of aircraft carriers almost comparable to the British.
For this reason, the biggest threat to the British was not Australasia, but the Island Nation that once built the mightiest battleships.
Indeed, this was no joke.
The Islanders had different ambitions, and their warship numbers certainly exceeded those stipulated in the Naval Limitation Treaty.
However, the British were entirely focused on combating the United States at the time and turned a blind eye to the occasional treaty breaches by the Island Nation.
But now, with the Americans out of the picture, the British naturally had no more reservations.
For Britain, anything could be tolerated except the risk of being threatened in naval terms.
It was foreseeable that once the division of the United States was completely dealt with, the British would turn their attention back to the global situation.
