Chapter 105, Thrifty Household Management

The naval "dumpling dropping" game was never fun. It not only tested a nation's industry but also its financial capacity.

Looking at the military budget, one could see that the influence of the shipbuilding race caused the Shinra Navy's budget in 1904 to increase by one hundred million.

Obviously, not all of that money was spent on shipbuilding. Just building a dozen main battleships wouldn't cost that much; much more was spent on support and expansion.

Since the end of the European wars, the Shinra Navy had started on a path of rapid development. In order to compete for funds, the Navy had even collaborated with the Air Force a few years earlier to challenge the Army.

Although they didn't succeed, the Navy's share of the military budget still increased. With the advent of the "Era of Super Battleships," the Shinra Navy also entered a golden age.
