In fact, Veneto is one of the few women in the world who really understand British ships. In addition to the Queen, he is Tirpitz, a historical opponent. It can be said that Veneto also does not understand why there are so few British ships in this world. In Veneto's memory, there are a large number of British warships. Veneto still remembers the Washington Navy Treaty in history. After all, Italy was also one of the countries that signed the Washington Navy Treaty in history. However, due to its own strength issues, Italy's share is not very weak. The situation of France, which has the same share, is similar.

When the Washington Navy Treaty was signed, the Italian Navy had a total of three levels of five Fearless Battleships. In addition, there were some former Fearless Battleships. However, when the treaty was signed, the British Hood, the Navy of a certain island country, and Maryland of the United States had already been in service. At this time, the main gun caliber of the Italian Navy's main battleship was only twelve inches, and France's situation was better, but it was just a little bigger. Under such circumstances, the Washington Navy Treaty allowed Italy and France to build a 16-inch main gun of 35,000 tons of main guns in the late 1920s. However, the fact is indeed very surprising and quite unacceptable for Italy.

In fact, Italy was the first to propose the concept of a dreadnought in history, but due to various problems, the British dreadnought became the world's first dreadnought. The first dreadnought built by Italy was the Dante Allegericheri battleship. This was a triple-mounted main gun battleship, which was also the world's first triple-mounted main gun battleship to start construction and launch. However, due to the delay in construction period, the world's first triple-mounted main gun battleship became the combined force-class battleship of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This battleship was demolished in the late 1920s with the former dreadnought retained by Italy.

A few years after the Washington Naval Treaty, the UK initiated the London Naval Treaty. In this treaty, all newly built main ships must not be larger than fourteen inches in diameter. At the same time, there were great problems with the division of ship types of a series of fast large destroyers and fast light cruisers built by Italy and France. This made France and Italy withdraw from the London Naval Treaty one after another. Italy began to build the Venetto-class battleship. In fact, the Italian Navy was already very weak at this time.

At that time, the Italian Navy had only two levels of four battleships. Although these four battleships had undergone a very large scale transformation, their combat effectiveness was very limited. It can be said that Italy extremely needed the service of the Vineto-class battleship at this time, but the problem of Italian delay in construction was once again possessed. It was already 1940 when Veneto and Litorio served. Not long after Veneto and Litorio served, Italy entered the war. This is also an evidence of insufficient preparation.

Unlike Italy's financial and other bad situations, the situation where no new battleship was built during the Washington Naval Treaty period was that the French Navy built two battleships in the late 1920s stipulated by the Washington Naval Treaty. These are the Dunkirk-class battleships. Although many countries classified this class battleships as battlecruisers, France, which built this class battleships, believed that this was a battleship. Unlike Italy's last four battleships during World War I, the situation was that France had two levels of seven old battleships when the war broke out, which was a big difference.

However, although the French Navy has an absolute advantage compared to Italy, when the construction of the Italian Veneto-class battleship began, France also decided to build an equally excellent battleship to fight against the Veneto-class battleship. This class of battleships was the Richelieu-class battleship. Of course, France's efforts changed with the rapid defeat. Two of the four Ouba-class battleships went to the UK and were used as soldiers' dormitories. One was demilitarized by Vichy France and was later sunk through various tests. The last one was sunk when it landed in Normandy to serve as a defense wave.

The fate of the other three Brittany ships is somewhat different. Among them, the Lorraine was defeated by France when Alexander later joined the Free France in the 1950s. The Provence sank in Toulon after being severely damaged by the stone-throwing operation, and Brittany was sunk by Hood during the stone-throwing operation. Two Dunkirk-class battleships Dunkirk was severely damaged and finally sank in Toulon. Strasbourg escaped the stone-throwing operation but finally sank in Toulon. It can be said that the long-term opponent of the Italian Navy disintegrated in this way is very sad.

However, Italy was not much stronger as a defeated country. Among the two Cafur-class battleships, Cafur sank itself in order to avoid falling into Germany when Italy surrendered, and later was fished up by Germany to block the waterway. Giulio Caesar was compensated to the Soviet Union. Among the three Veneto-class battleships, Veneto was compensated to Britain and finally demolished by Italy itself. Litorio was demolished by the United States and the Rome was sunk. In comparison, the fate of the two Andreadoria-class battleships was much better. These two battleships were returned to Italy in 1944 before the war ended. These two battleships were demolished in the late 1950s. As one of the three axes during World War II, Italy could still have battleships after the war, which was incomparable to Germany and a certain island country.

It can be said that although Italy in history is one of the great powers, its own strength is too problematic, so it is often just a mere expression. This is the most obvious performance of the Italian Navy. As one of the countries signed by the Washington Navy Treaty, the Italian Navy even had only four battleships at one time. But contrary to its strength, Italy's ambitions in history are also quite large. This is why Venetto built this world so Buddhist. After careful comparison, Venetto found that Italy's strength was too weak in history and did not match its ambitions, which made Venetto feel that it would be the best result for Buddhism to continue.
