    On April 21, 1918, the Tianjin Shipyard was under martial law. People from the Department of Homeland Security and palace guards were everywhere!  The leaders of the shipyard and a group of navy generals came to the slipway surrounded by the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze!  On the slipway, a huge warship has completed the main construction part and is about to be launched into the water and outfitted. It is expected that the construction and sea trials will be completed by the end of the year, and it will officially join the Chinese Navy's fleet!

    "Your Majesty, everything is ready! The launching ceremony of the aircraft carrier Taiwan Island can begin!" Chinese Navy Minister Marshal Li Dingxin reported to the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze!  This is the launching ceremony of the "Taiwan Island", the first ship of the Chinese Navy's "island-class" aircraft carrier.  The 'Island Class' aircraft carrier is a heavy aircraft carrier built at Wang Yuze's request. It has a standard displacement of 45,000 tons and a full load displacement of 56,000 tons!  The design work was not completed until more than two years ago!  Then the construction of the first batch of 4 ships began!  However, midway through construction, modifications were once again made.  The aircraft carrier's straight-through flight deck has been slightly adjusted. In addition to the flight runway at the bow, a runway with an inclination of 10 degrees has been added on the other side.  This allows the 'Island Class' aircraft carrier to recover fighter jets while taking off, greatly improving the aircraft carrier's combat efficiency!

    Marshal Li Dingxin is now very high-spirited. Two years ago, he succeeded Marshal Zhang Cheng and became the Minister of the Navy.  In the past four years, the Chinese Navy has built an aircraft carrier battle group with 14 aircraft carriers as the core and has been equipped with them, which have been successively assigned to major fleets. This has further improved the strength of the Chinese Navy!

    "Let's get started!" Wang Yuze looked at the aircraft carrier "Taiwan Island" in front of him and was filled with emotion!  Four years have passed. During these four years, the entire world has been at peace. Although there are still armed conflicts in some areas, they are only low-intensity exchanges of fire and there is no large-scale war method!  However, this does not mean that the world is already at peace. As the economies of China and Europe recover one after another, the conflicts between the two sides have begun to further intensify. In particular, the conflicts between China and Germany have become more and more intensified.  !  Many people have seen that a large-scale war may break out between China and Germany in the next few years!  And now, the first four of the Chinese Navy's "Island Class" battleships have begun to be launched one after another, just to prepare for the current tense situation!  Once a war breaks out, Wang Yuze hopes that the Chinese navy can win an overwhelming victory, then completely blockade Germany's coastline, cut off Germany's connection with its overseas colonies, and trap Germany to death!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Li Dingxin nodded and said a few words to a rear admiral beside him!

    The workers in the shipyard became busy, and seawater began to pour into the shipyard.  As more and more seawater entered the dock, the aircraft carrier "Taiwan Island" slowly began to float.  Finally, with the help of the tugboat, we left the dock and leaned on the dock, ready to start the final outfitting!

    The launching ceremony of the aircraft carrier Taiwan Island was very simple. There were no media interviews and everything was conducted in secret!  And this is exactly the request of the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze.  After the joint crackdown by China's Military Intelligence Bureau, the Ministry of Homeland Security and the Ministry of Interior, foreign spy networks in China have been dealt a huge blow.  However, a lot of China's information and technology were still leaked, which caused a lot of losses to China!  For example, the first batch of aircraft carriers that the German Navy has equipped clearly have the shadow of the Chinese Navy's 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carriers!

    After the launching ceremony of the aircraft carrier "Taiwan Island", Wang Yuze returned to Beijing by special train, accompanied by Marshal Li Dingxin, Minister of the Navy and others!  As the situation becomes increasingly tense, he cannot leave the capital for a long time!

    "Your Majesty, our first batch of four 'island-class' aircraft carriers will be launched one after another in the first half of this year, and they are expected to be in service by the end of the year! The supporting escort warships and carrier-based aircraft units have also been prepared.  It will be able to form combat effectiveness in the first half of next year at the latest! The second batch of four 'Island Class' battleships has also started construction and is expected to be launched by the end of next year, and will be able to form combat effectiveness by the middle of the next year!" Minister of the Navy!  Marshal Li Dingxin said!

    "Well! The aircraft carrier battle group formed by the first batch of four 'island-class' aircraft carriers will stay in the country for the time being. When the situation becomes clear, it will be distributed to the major fleets!" Wang Yuze said!

    Now the Chinese Navy is still divided into three fleets!  The First Fleet's defense area covers the entire Pacific region and is also the total reserve force of the Chinese Navy. It currently has 5 aircraft carrier battle groups and 8 battleships.  The defense area of ??the Second Fleet is the entire Atlantic area, with 5 aircraft carrier battle groups and 6 battleships. The defense area of ??the 3rd Fleet is the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea is the key defense area, with 4 aircraft carrier battle groups and 6 battleships.  !  Once a war breaks out, the secondThe First Fleet and the Third Fleet will be the front-line forces, and the First Fleet will also reinforce Europe as soon as possible to ensure that the Chinese Navy wins a decisive victory in the war!

    "Okay, Your Majesty!" Marshal Li Dingxin nodded.  The Chinese Navy will add four aircraft carrier battle groups this time and can form two task forces!  Moreover, the number of carrier-based aircraft of the 'Island Class' aircraft carrier is about one-third more than that of the 'Wuyue Class', which means that the attack power of the 'Island Class' aircraft carrier is 30% higher than that of the 'Wuyue Class'.  In addition, the defensive power of the "island-class" aircraft carrier is stronger, which will make the aircraft carrier battle group composed of "island-class" aircraft carriers more powerful!

    "How is our old friend doing lately?" Wang Yuze asked.  In the past four years, the German Navy has not been idle. After the success of their experimental aircraft carrier, in less than half a year, the German Navy's first-class aircraft carrier, the 'Prussian-class' aircraft carrier, has started construction, and it is a one-time  Five ships were built, named 'Prussia', 'Bavaria', 'Hesse', 'Thuringia' and 'W¨¹rttemberg'.  The performance of the 'Prussian-class' aircraft carrier is equivalent to that of the Chinese Navy's 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carrier and can carry more than 80 fighter aircraft.  However, since we haven¡¯t actually fought each other yet, we can only guess.  The true combat power may only be tested on the battlefield.

    "Your Majesty, the German Navy is going all out to build a second-class aircraft carrier. This class of aircraft carriers is named the 'Hohenzollern-class' aircraft carrier. Ten ships will be built at one time! It is expected that the first batch of five ships will be launched next year.  Launched, the second batch of 5 ships will be launched in the year after next!" said Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy!

    "It seems that the Germans have also felt the pressure. They are now desperately trying to catch up with us!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty! The Germans' five 'Revenge-class' battleships have also entered service, which gives them six battleships equipped with 381mm main guns, posing a considerable threat to our Second Fleet! In addition,  The Germans intend to expand their naval base in Morocco and seem to have plans to strengthen their Mediterranean fleet! This has also aroused the vigilance of the Third Fleet!" said Marshal Li Dingxin, Minister of the Navy!

    "Let both the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet be on alert. War may break out at any time, and we cannot be attacked by the Germans! With our naval strength, it is almost impossible for the Germans to defeat us! Therefore,  Once a war breaks out, they will most likely launch a sneak attack! Let the First Fleet also step up its vigilance. Once a war breaks out, the First Fleet must set off to fight in the Atlantic within three days!" Wang Yuze said!  He has already felt that the crisis is gradually coming, and the current world is completely different from what he knew, and he can no longer predict the future development.  But fortunately, China's strength has developed rapidly. In terms of pure national strength, it has far surpassed Germany!

    "Yes, Your Majesty! I will put both the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet into combat readiness!" Marshal Li Dingxin said!

    ??In the four years from 1914 to 1918, the world's major powers focused on developing their domestic economy, restoring national strength, and expanding their armaments to prepare for war!  Both China and Germany are building aircraft carriers crazily in order to win the next war!  As the third largest country in the world, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was still dealing with domestic problems.  There were too many conflicts between the more than a dozen kingdoms, principalities and principalities that made up the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This made Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so anxious that he had no time to think about going abroad!  Emperor Franz Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is still alive, but he is already unconscious. I don¡¯t know how long it can be delayed. Since two years ago, Archduke Ferdinand has been handling the affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as the Crown Prince.  It¡¯s a national event!  However, as long as Franz Joseph I dies, he will not be able to become the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

    Archduke Ferdinand is also unlucky. He is already fifty-five years old this year, and he has been the crown prince for many years.  But now, he is still the crown prince and cannot ascend the throne of the Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  Although his power in the Austro-Hungarian Empire has been consolidated, if he does not become emperor for a day, his reputation will not be justified.  However, according to the intelligence obtained by China, Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I may not be able to survive this year.  The 88-year-old emperor is about to complete the last journey of his life!  (To be continued.
