บท 221: Chapter 208: The Focus of the Banquet

Arthur's words came as a surprise to many nobles and officials from various countries and further fueled the enthusiasm of the cheering Australasian crowd.

Is a fleet consisting of two battleships, five large main warships, ten medium cruisers, and dozens of small warships considered powerful?

This level is only about half of the current Island Nation's fleet size and could only rank in the world's top 15 at best.

But what if these two battleships are the latest dreadnought-class vessels? Currently, only the British Empire truly possesses dreadnought-class battleships, and only a handful of countries have planned budgets, designs, and production for dreadnoughts.

If the warships Australasia is planning to build are dreadnought class, then the strength of this fleet could reach the world's top ten.

Especially in the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific, the strength of this Australasian fleet is not to be underestimated.
