This is also the reason Carlo did not plan to keep it secret. Even if the British know that the four ironclad battleships being built by Spain are all first-class in combat power, they still do not need to worry about the Spanish Navy posing a threat to the Royal Fleet.
Unless Spain builds more than ten ironclad ships at once, but such an investment would be unbearable even for the British Empire, let alone Spain, which has fewer colonies.
Although Spain has four shipyards capable of building ironclad battleships, the government does not intend to construct all four ironclads simultaneously.
Once the funds arrive, the Royal Guanizuo Shipyard will take the lead in constructing two ironclad battleships. As the largest shipyard in Spain, the Royal Guanizuo Shipyard can accommodate the simultaneous construction of up to three ironclad battleships.
