Actually, when upgrading rifles and machine guns, the generals of the Ministry of Defense's Navy also expressed to Carlo a request to build more ironclads.
However, such a request was quickly rejected by Carlo with no room for negotiation.
A few days later, Carlo gathered these senior naval generals together and stated his requirements for Spain's next-generation main battleship.
Faster, bigger, stronger—Carlo repeatedly put forward these three terms, and clearly demanded that only warship designs meeting these three requirements could become Spain's next-generation main warships.
Before the birth of Spain's next-generation main warships, the Navy will not build main warships in the coming years, only a certain number of auxiliary warships to expand the fleet size.
Carlo's request immediately troubled the high-ranking generals of the Navy.
Although it seems like only three requirements, they actually permeate the design philosophy of naval warships.
