Chapter 686: Chapter 516: Treaty Limiting Naval Military Preparation_3

Within the entire world, currently, only a few Powers can independently build the most advanced dreadnoughts.

Honestly, as long as the treaty proposed by the British was fair, there would hardly be any country that would reject it.

At least Arthur wouldn't reject it, as after all, Australasia had no intention of challenging Britain's naval hegemony in the short term, and naturally, it would not foolishly initiate a naval arms race.

However, it is not easy to propose a completely fair limitation agreement. The limitations on naval tonnage of the various Powers must be kept within an acceptable range for each; otherwise, no one would willingly sign or execute the treaty.

But the problem is that each country's situation differs significantly, so the restrictions should vary accordingly.

Take the current United States for example. In theory, its industry and economy ranked first in the world, but its naval strength was only second, with a significant gap to the British Empire.
