Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Giving up the Caesar Kingdom, which had no combat effectiveness, August did not feel that it was a big deal.

In terms of the fighting power of the Germanic Empire, even if the Caesar Kingdom continues to ally with the Germanic Empire, it will not provide much help to the Germanic Empire.

Even, because the kingdom of Caesar is located in the heart of the Mediterranean, in case of invasion by the Sun Never Set and the Gauls, they will most likely be unable to resist. Once the Kingdom of Caesar can’t resist and asks the Germanic Empire for help, does the Germanic Empire want to rescue? But the Germanic Empire’s forces were not much, and if a lot of troops were divided to rescue the Caesar Kingdom, wouldn’t it make the Germanic Empire’s forces even more tense?

Therefore, August did not care about the ally of the Kingdom of Caesar.

“Gentlemen, the Kingdom of Caesars we can give up. However, the Ottoman Empire needed to be wooed. August continued.

“Your Majesty, the strength of the Ottoman Empire is not stronger than the Kingdom of Caesar, or even weaker.” War Minister Admiral von Falkenhein reminded.

“Yes, the strength of the Ottoman Empire is indeed not very good. However, their location is very important. Once a future war breaks out, the Russian Empire will definitely be a fierce enemy of the empire. The vast territory and large army of the Russian Empire were enough to pose a great threat to the empire. And it will not be easy for us to defeat the Russian Empire. Especially once the Russian Empire received the support of other powerful countries, a steady stream of weapons and equipment arrived in the Russian Empire. Then, the huge demographic advantage of the Tsarist Russian Empire could be brought into play. At that time, we will face a large number of troops of the Russian Empire.

The Ottoman Empire held the Dardanelles, and if they joined the alliance, they could cut off the access from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. The Russian Empire’s access to support would be cut off, leaving only the Barents Sea to the north and the Far East to the east. If our navy were a little stronger, it would not be a problem to cut off the sea transport lines in the Atlantic direction of the Tsarist Empire. Well, in the end, only transport corridors in the Far East remained.

The Far East is too far from Europe, even if Old Maozi built the Trans-Siberian Railway. However, this railway has limited capacity and cannot meet the consumption of the battlefield at all. In this way, the war potential of the Russian Empire would be greatly reduced.

They had a huge number of soldiers, but not enough weapons and equipment to arm them. If those soldiers are allowed to go into battle with their bare hands, they will only be slaughtered. This will greatly facilitate our defeat of the Russian Empire in future wars! ”

August presented his point of view.

Even because of its geographical location alone, the Ottoman Empire was worthy of the Germanic Empire.

“If the empire wants to win over the Ottoman Empire, it should be easier. After all, the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire were feuds. Through many wars before and after, the Russian Empire fought the Ottoman Empire with heavy losses and fell to the present point. If the Ottoman Empire is willing to take revenge, then joining us is the only option! Foreign Secretary Holwig said.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The Ottoman colonies in North Africa also basically fell into the hands of the Sun Never Set and the Gauls. The Ottomans also hated the sun and the Gauls. It can be said that the three main powers of the Union of Entente were enemies of the Ottomans. If they don’t want to be neutral in the war, joining us is the best option! Shoubi Luo also said.

“That being said, it is up to the Ottomans themselves how to choose. If they decide that we are more likely to lose, there is no chance of winning. Perhaps, they will choose to join the Union of Entente, or not say anything for the time being. August said.

“No matter what, we have to work hard. Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, as my Special Envoy, make a trip to the Ottoman Empire and visit the Ottoman Empire. Talk to the Ottoman high-ranking officials to see if it is possible for them to join the Allies. “August made a decision.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Hallvig replied.

“In addition, didn’t the Ottoman Empire want to buy two battleships as the main force of the Ottoman Empire in the Black Sea against the Russian Empire? Tell the Ottomans that the Empire could sell them two battleships at cost. August continued.

In another time and space, the Ottoman Empire spent a lot of money to place orders with the Empire that never sets. But alas, before the two battleships were built, the war had already broken out.

When the battleship was built, the sun did not set, and on the grounds of the tense war situation, they directly detained the two warships and entered service in the Royal Navy. Moreover, none of them refunded the purchase fees paid by the Ottoman Empire.

This was undoubtedly typical banditry, which made the entire Ottoman Empire angry and dissatisfied.

You know, the Ottoman Empire is very poor now. They saw the two battleships as hope, and even called on the whole country to raise money, and even beggars gave money for it.

Under such circumstances, the sun did not set and the Ottoman warships were blackened. You can imagine how angry the Ottomans were.

This caused the Ottoman Empire to join the Allies in a fit of rage. And inflicted heavy blows on the Entente in the Dardanelles.

Unfortunately, because the Allies eventually lost the war, the Ottoman Empire suffered a heavy blow. In the end, he lost all territory except the Asia Minor Peninsula.

However, in this time and space, everything is completely different.

The Germanic Empire was more powerful than another space-time. If the Ottoman Empire was willing to join the Allies, the possibility of future victory would be very high. Perhaps, the Ottoman Empire may still be reborn from the ashes.

Of course, there is another very important reason why August actively wooed the Ottoman Empire. That is, the Ottoman Empire nominally had a large territory in the Middle East and North Africa. Although most of these territories are yellow sand. However, it is actually buried in abundant oil resources.

If the Ottoman Empire became an ally of the Germanic Empire. The Germanic Empire would then be able to take the opportunity to develop this oil. Even if it would share a part of the benefits to the Ottoman Empire, the Germanic Empire would be able to make a lot of money.

Especially now, all the warships of the Germanic Empire used oil-fired boilers, and were equipped with a large number of cars and tanks and armored vehicles, which required a lot of oil.
