Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the emperor of the Germanic Empire has discovered a copper mine with huge reserves on the Spice Islands of the Dutch Blue People, which is worth a lot. Every day, ships transported the mined copper back to the Germanic Empire for smelting.

The value of the copper mine is still very high, besides, it is very close to our colony of New Guinea, and we should find a way to seize that copper mine? ”

Alfred Littleton, the Empire’s colonial minister at Never Setting, suggested.

“This is openly provoking the Germanic Empire and will anger the young emperor of the Germanic Empire.” Young man, it’s time for anger. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for us to provoke each other at this time. Chancellor of the Exchequer Austin Chamberlain advised.

“Yes, no matter what, the Germanic Empire voluntarily abandoned the construction of ten battleships, which in a way, is also showing us goodwill. There is no need for us to provoke each other on this issue. Arthur Belfort also said.

Although, the value of a copper mine is great.

However, for the Sun Never Sets Empire, they have the largest and richest colonies in the world. A copper mine is simply insignificant to them.

Even this copper mine may allow the Germanic Empire to develop somewhat. But in the eyes of the Sun Never Set Empire, it still does not pose much of a threat.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, if it’s just a copper mine, that’s it. Rumor has it that there are not only copper mines, but also gold and silver mines. The officials of the empire in the colonies of New Guinea also wanted to inquire about the specific situation. However, the Germanic defense was too tight. They sent a mine convoy there, at least a thousand people. Moreover, those people were retired soldiers of the Germanic Imperial Army. In addition, the Germanic Imperial Navy had a cruiser that patrolled nearby ports for a long time. This has to make others think about it.

If it is a copper mine, although the value is great. But for the empire, it is nothing at all. But if the rumors were true, a gold and silver mine, it would be completely different.

The huge gold deposits were also a great fortune for the empire. If the Germans are left in their hands and continue to mine, they will gain huge benefits and make them more powerful! ”

Alfred Littleton raised his concerns.

Arthur Belfort and the other cabinet ministers of the Sun Never Set Empire couldn’t help but become serious.

If it’s just a copper mine, they don’t care at all.

But if it’s a gold mine, and it’s still a gold mine with huge reserves, it’s completely different.

“Go ahead and send someone to find out the news. If the rumors are wrong and it’s just a copper mine, forget it. If it is a gold mine, and the reserves are huge, we will find a way to take it from the Germans! Arthur Belfort said.

“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” Alfred Littleton replied.

The other cabinet ministers also nodded their heads in agreement with the disposition.

From spring to autumn, time passes like a white horse.

In the blink of an eye, it was 1705 AD.

The Germanic Emperor Auguste was also eighteen years old.

Having been emperor for a year, he has completely controlled the power of the entire Germanic Empire.

However, at this moment, the international situation is becoming more and more responsible, and the contradictions between European countries are becoming more and more acute.

The Germanic Empire and the Gaul state, in the Morogo region of West Africa, were once again on par.

The Germanic Empire had considerable interests in that vehicle, and the Gallic kingdom also intended to expand there. In addition, it was originally a colony of the Sibanese, so the situation was very complicated.

However, the situation appears tense. But neither the Germanic Empire nor the Gallic states were ready for war. So, don’t look at the clamour. But in fact, there is simply thunder and little rain, and there is no fight at all.

Charles Jonarette, general manager of August Mining, has finally returned from the island of New Guinea.

“Your Majesty, gold mining is on track. Last year we mined a large amount of gold, silver and copper from the mines. In addition to all kinds of costs and taxes, a full profit of 1.2 billion Reichsmarks! Charles Jonah Wright said.

Liu Chuan nodded, he had already grasped this data.

However, although August Mining Company made amazing profits, there was not much left in Liu Chuan’s hands.

The navy, army, cabinet and royalty each took twenty percent.

Liu Chuan himself used another 180 million imperial marks to invest in the Krupp company, and he only had 60 million left in his hands.

“Uncle Charles, the gold mine must be kept strictly secret. Once the news leaks, the sun will definitely attack us. Liu Chuan reminded.

The current Germanic Empire simply has no way to confront the Empire that never sets. Therefore, it can only be kept as secret as possible.

Even if paper can’t contain fire, it can be kept secret for as long as it can, which is the most beneficial to the Germanic Empire.
