What was even more unbearable for the British Empire was that Germany had already announced that it was building Super Dreadnoughts.
Originally, this was the British Empire's trump card to dominate the Germans in terms of warship quality, but it had already been quietly followed by the Germans.
This also meant that half of the British Empire's warship construction plans had to be devoted to building Super Dreadnoughts; otherwise, when the German Super Dreadnought fleet caught up, the navy would still not have a significant advantage.
But the problem was that the cost of the most advanced dreadnoughts was already around 2 million pounds.
And the cost of the most advanced Super Dreadnoughts was even higher, at around 2.4 million pounds.
No matter how you calculate it, the British Empire's finances would only become more burdened, which made other government officials a bit worried.
