Chapter 1684: Detained Britain

Argentina generally does not trust the tall fat man’s historical battleship Niang, but is so special to Veneto. This is mainly because Veneto is the head of the Italian ship. In history, Italy and Argentina do not have much overlap. Italy has always been weak, and it is impossible to have any ideas about Argentina in South America. After all, Argentina is known as one of the top three in South America. Although the Rivadavia class battleship is not powerful, it cannot be challenged by ordinary countries. Although Italy says Don't be afraid of Ribadavia, but there is no need to provoke Argentina, plus the fact that Argentina in this world has just been built is still deeply influenced by history.
Argentina obviously doesn’t trust Gao Fatty and other historical battleships, but Gao Fatty is also very surprised. However, Gao Fatty will know after careful analysis that the top three in South America in history had a fair economy from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. At a good time, after many rounds of arms races, the warships of these three countries were mainly purchased from European countries, but this posed a problem.
Before the emergence of dreadnoughts in history, Brazil suddenly discovered that the navy that was still strong before was not enough to face the navies of Argentina and Chile, which developed because of the arms race. The economy was good and some anxious Brazilian navy proposed ambitious construction. Plans for three small battleships and some other battleships. Three small battleship models have also been confirmed and construction has begun. It was at this time that the Intrepid was born. After discovering that the construction of the three small battleships was behind the times, Brazil stopped The three battleships already under construction were destroyed and demolished, and the construction plan was adjusted.
As a result of Brazil’s adjustments, two Minas Gerais-class battleships were rebuilt. These were the first dreadnoughts in service in South America, which also opened the prelude to the arms race among the top three in South America. Minas Gerais Class battleships directly stimulated Argentina, and Argentina also started its own dreadnought plan. It was originally a British order. Argentina unexpectedly chose the American plan. This is the Ribadavia class battleship. Of course, Argentina and Brazil are two. The arms race of these countries cannot be just capital ships, but also includes some other warships, including Argentina’s Catamarca-class destroyers and Brazil’s Bahia-class light cruisers.
As one of the top three in South America, Chile’s response to Brazil and Argentina’s successive purchases of dreadnoughts to expand its navy was a bit slow, but it was finally finalized. As the last participating Chilean battleship, it was much stronger than Brazil and Argentina. Chile’s The battleship is based on the Iron Duke with some modifications. It can be regarded as the Iron Duke-class battleship that weakens the defense. It is different from the 12-inch main guns of Minas Gerais and Ribadavia. The battleship is equipped with a fourteen-inch main gun.
However, with the beginning of the First World War, the Chilean battleship was detained by the British until after the First World War, the British sold it to Chile at a low price, and was named the Admiral La Torre by Chile. It was two battleships different from Brazil and Argentina. , Chile only has the Admiral La Torre, and this round of arms race has come to an end following the economic downturn of the top three in South America after World War I.
In this round of arms race, the top three South American warships were detained because of the outbreak of World War I. These warships were purchased but were requisitioned by the host country because of the outbreak of the war. In this case, the British did the most excessive Yes, the United Kingdom is not just the warships that detained many countries in World War I. The same is true in World War II. After World War I, the United Kingdom once wanted to sell the detained warships to the country where they bought it, but many of them were overused in the war. Although such behavior shortened the period for Britain to accept warships, it also severely affected the construction of the country's navy.
One of the most famous is the Ottoman Empire’s Resadiye battleship. After the outbreak of World War I, Britain detained this already basically built battleship under the pretext that the Ottoman Empire fell to Germany. As the last straw to crush the camel, the Ottoman Empire was detained. Joined the Allies.
Of course, the United Kingdom is not an excuse for the three South American countries like the Ottoman Empire, but this has also seriously affected the construction of the three South American navies. Among them, the first Brazilian influence is good, although the influence of Argentina is also acceptable, it is acceptable. Chile is affected. The impact is the greatest. It is not just that the Admiral La Torre did not return to Chile until the mid-1920s. The planned destroyer was also detained by the British because of the outbreak of the First World War, although the British returned to Chile after the First World War. However, due to their excessive use in the war, these destroyers were in very bad condition, and they were hurriedly retired after ten years of service in the Chilean Navy.
You must know that the main force of the Chilean plan for naval expansion is battleships and destroyers~EbookFREE.me~ As a result, not only battleships are detained, but destroyers are also detained. I don’t know about the fact that Minas Gerais and Rivada are already in service. Via, how does Chile feel about having no capital ships but old armored cruisers.
Argentina is not very cold with British ships. This is the main reason. In history, because of the outbreak of World War I, Argentina bought 12 Catamata-class destroyers, of which four were built by Britain, Germany and France, and four were built by Britain. The ship was dismissed by Argentina and wanted to fail to meet the standard. Later it was sold to Greece by the British. Four French ships were abandoned for economic reasons. Four German ships were taken by Argentina and they felt good. Four additional ships were added. As a result, the outbreak of World War I These four were detained by Germany.
The history of the light cruiser Argentina was also delayed because the British shipyard gave priority to its own warships. Fortunately, the construction was completed on the eve of the outbreak of the war. If the outbreak of World War II was delayed, the light cruiser Argentina would definitely be detained by the United Kingdom. In history, such reasons have made Argentina not cold to the tall and fat British ship mother, but it is not so cold to the American ship mother Colorado. I don’t know why. After all, the two sisters of Livadavia and the American ship mother The relationship is very good.
Veneto and Argentina had a lively chat. Of course, the main thing is that Argentina is listening to Veneto. Veneto is just telling the truth and not bringing his own opinions into it. For an existence like Argentina, Veneto’s best is the truth. To be honest, because Argentina will check with the two sisters of Ribadavia afterwards, if Veneto is mixed with too many subjective factors, it will seriously affect her relationship with Argentina. Now that Argentina is special, I don’t know if Veneto is not. Will take this risk.
