Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Near Jaya Peak, the August mining company cut down trees here and built a huge camp large enough to accommodate thousands of people.

At the same time, security personnel are escorting several prospecting experts to conduct exploration in the vicinity to find the specific location of the gold mine.

Liu Chuan and they have been in the dense forest for half a month.

However, there has been no progress at all. This makes many people a little discouraged.

Only Liu Chuan is still full of confidence. He believed that there must be a huge gold mine here. It’s just that they are a little less lucky and haven’t found it yet.

But Liu Chuan’s insistence is completely desperate in the eyes of others, or to die to face and suffer the crime.

Fortunately, Liu Chuan’s persistence was not in vain.

Three days later, the good news finally came.

“His Royal Highness, found it, we found it. Doctors They found some ore in an area ten kilometers south of Chaya Peak. After testing, there were also large amounts of copper and associated gold and silver. The grade is very high and has great mining value. This time, we got rich! Charles Jonah Wright had a smile on his face.

Just as Liu Chuan needs a chance, he also needs a chance to prove himself.

“Really found it?” Liu Chuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness. Dr. They are measuring reserves. It is expected that further news will come soon. Charles Jonah Wright said.

“Great, Uncle Charles. The gold mine is located ten kilometers south of Chaya Peak, which is a good thing for us. We only need to build 20 kilometers of railroad to be able to transport the ore out. Investment in all aspects is also much lower. The mining difficulty is also much smaller. Liu Chuan said.

Charles Jonah Wright nodded repeatedly.

“Uncle Charles, we need to act. When the preliminary detection report came out, I immediately returned to the mainland of the empire. Now that we’ve found a gold mine, I think my father will definitely invest in me. At that time, we will have enough money to develop this gold mine. By the way, we can’t let the outside world know that we have found a gold mine, and publicize that we have found a copper mine with huge reserves. Although the value of copper ore is not small, it is not so eye-catching compared to gold mine. After all, this place is although close to the colonies of the empire. However, it is closer to the colony where the sun never sets. The current strength of the empire, especially overseas, is far from being comparable. Liu Chuan said.

Charles Jonah Wright naturally knew this truth: “His Royal Highness, I know, I will inform the Doctor about them.” ”

“Uncle Charles, after I leave, the work here will be handed over to you. Whether it is mining or road building, it requires a lot of labor. If you recruit labor from the mainland, it is very uneconomical, and the living conditions here are too harsh. We are destined to only be able to send managers from home. Ordinary miners and road builders could only be recruited locally. Liu Chuan said.

“Recruited locally? Your Royal Highness, most of the natives here are just uncivilized savages. Charles Jonah Wright frowned.

“Even wild men, under the threat of bayonets and rifles, will learn to mine and build roads. There are a lot of indigenous people here, so let our security personnel directly attack those indigenous tribes, capture labor to mine and build roads. There is no need to be too merciful to these natives. They, after all, are just barbarians! Liu Chuan said.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.” Charles Jonah Wright had no problem with that.

Two days later, prospectors submitted an exploration report. According to estimates, it belongs to gold, silver and copper mines, mainly copper mines, and gold and silver belong to the associated mines of copper mines, and the reserves are very large.

Originally, prospectors’ estimates were somewhat conservative, believing that there were only tens of millions of tons of copper, thousands of tons of gold, and only a few thousand tons of silver.

However, at Liu Chuan’s request, they increased this value several times.

Although, this is suspected of fraud. But Liu Chuan did this entirely in order to better convince Wilhelm II.

What’s more, Liu Chuan is not nonsense, what he said is true. However, with the current technical conditions, it is not possible to accurately estimate the copper, gold and silver mines here in a short period of time.

With this report, Liu Chuan left here by boat.

However, he did not travel to Batavia , but to the overseas colony of the Germanic Empire in the northeast of the island of New Guinea, namely Kaiser William’s domain. Preparing warships from the Germanic Empire there to return to the mainland.

Warships can be faster and safer than merchant ships. In this case, he may still be able to return to the mainland of the Sunrise Empire before Christmas.
