Due to the impact of the Russo-Japanese War, the construction of the fifth battleship initially planned by East Africa is temporarily halted. The main reason is to learn from the experiences and lessons of the Russo-Japanese naval battle in order to perfect the battleship.
Now it's just a matter of waiting for the decisive battle between Japan's Combined Fleet and Russia's Second Pacific Squadron in the Far East. According to the current progress of the Russian navy, they might reach the Far East waters by the end of October this year at the earliest.
It is already early October 1904, and East Africa's plan is approximately eighty percent complete. According to the calculations of the East African Planning Commission, East Africa should be able to achieve all the objectives ahead of schedule within 1905.
