Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Majesty, the strength of the Lighthouse Country is indeed very strong, and their industrial output value is much higher than that of the empire. They also have more people than the empire, a larger territory than the empire, and richer resources than the empire. It can be said that in addition to military strength and scientific and technological strength that cannot be compared with the empire, the lighthouse country is stronger than the empire in all aspects.

Moreover, military strength and scientific and technological strength can be improved. If the Beacon Nation is given enough time, it is very likely that they will develop into a more powerful country than the Empire.

Even, the Lighthouse Country will become an important opponent of the empire in the struggle for world hegemony! ”

The Chief of the General Staff, Admiral Moltke Jr., was keenly aware of the power and potential threat of the Beacon State.

“Yes, the potential of Lighthouse Nation is terrifying. If they are allowed to continue to develop, they will inevitably become the biggest opponents of the empire. However, for the empire, the main thing now is to defeat the empire that never sets, the Gallic state and the Russian empire and dominate the whole of Europe. If the empire can defeat these old powers and become the hegemon of Europe. It is even the integration of the forces of the whole of Europe. Then the lighthouse country is not a cause for concern. August said.

As the center of the world, the European continent is far stronger than the lighthouse country, both in science and technology.

Once the Germanic Empire integrated all of Europe, even if it only integrated most of Europe, it would be enough to surpass the lighthouse country.

“The Lighthouse Country, like us, is facing the suppression of old powers such as the Sun Never Sets Empire. It can be said that we have a common enemy. It would be best if they could join us together. Hallweg said.

“Specifically, it depends on what the high-level of the Lighthouse Country thinks. However, I personally think that the possibility of them agreeing to an alliance with us now is very small. August said.

The other high-level officials of the Germanic Empire nodded one after another, and for a large country like the Lighthouse Country, it was naturally impossible to make a decision easily.

“Your Majesty, if the Lighthouse Nation is not willing to ally with us. Or even become our enemy? Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

“If that’s the case, then we have to win quickly on the battlefield.” Quickly crush our enemies. At least quickly crush a formidable enemy. Let the lighthouse nation see our strength. This makes them afraid to make decisions easily. More precisely, it is to use our great strength to force the Lighthouse State to remain neutral. In this way, it will buy us enough time. August said.

Admiral Moltke nodded: “If this is the case, then our pressure in the early stage of the war will be very great.” ”

“Yes, but I think we should be able to do it. For example, at the beginning of the war, or in a year to defeat the Gallic state. By the way, it focused on the Imperial Expeditionary Force and the Imperial Russian Army. In this way, the lighthouse country will not dare to act rashly.

If the Imperial Navy hits the Imperial Navy again and gains superiority at sea. Then, the lighthouse country is even more afraid to enter the war! ”

August continued.

“Your Majesty, although the army strength of the Lighthouse Country is not very good. However, their naval strength is still very strong. In the pre-dreadnoughts era, they built a large number of pre-dreadnoughts. When the Great White Fleet sailed around the world, it formed a huge fleet of 25 battleships. Although in Europe, the sun never sets, the Royal Navy and the Imperial Navy with dreadnoughts. However, the Lighthouse Nation also actively began to build dreadnoughts, and even built quite a few super dreadnoughts. Their strength is also not to be underestimated! Marshal Count Tirpitz had a serious expression.

“Indeed, the naval strength of the Lighthouse Nation cannot be underestimated, they have a very powerful fleet, in terms of dreadnoughts alone, there are 8. In addition, they have a number of super dreadnoughts under construction. Even, in the construction plan of the Beacon Nation’s navy, they will build a very large fleet of dreadnoughts and super dreadnoughts. August said.

In August’s memory, the Lighthouse Nation built a huge fleet of 8 dreadnoughts and 11 superdreadnoughts throughout the World War.

This is definitely a huge fleet second only to the Royal Navy and the Germanic Imperial Navy.

If you count as many as 28 former dreadnoughts, the strength of the Lighthouse Nation’s navy can be imagined.

With the strength of the Germanic Imperial Navy, it is naturally not afraid of the Beacon Country Navy.

However, if the Beacon Country Navy and the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Set Empire join forces. Then, if the Germanic Imperial Navy wants to win, I am afraid it will not be so easy. There is even the possibility of failure.

Therefore, the Germanic Imperial Navy had to take these factors into account and try to avoid them.

Still, August is confident that if all goes well. The Germanic Imperial Navy was able to equip aircraft carriers later in the war. Then, even if the Lighthouse Nation Navy joins in, it is not something to fear. The Germanic Imperial Navy was also able to win the final victory in this war!

“Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, you are going to the Lighthouse Country this time, if they are not willing to ally with the Empire, then find a way to obtain a loan from the Lighthouse Country to purchase food, oil, rare metals and other materials from the Lighthouse Country. The more the loan amount, the better. The more supplies you can buy from the Lighthouse Nation, the better!

In this way, if the empire owes money to the lighthouse country, they will not easily express their position as enemies of the empire. If they dare to join the side of the Union of Entente. Then, the empire will directly rely on the debts and will not repay their loans.

If they had remained neutral, after the empire defeated the Empire of Never Sets, the Gallic State and the Russian Empire, they would naturally be able to obtain large war reparations. At that time, the empire will not have to worry about not being able to pay back these loans from the lighthouse country.

What’s more, the empire has purchased a large number of materials from the lighthouse country, which can further strengthen the strength of the empire and provide greater assistance for the empire to win future wars. ”

August said with a smile.

The biggest purpose of sending Holvig to the lighthouse country this time is to dig a hole for the lighthouse country.

“Your Majesty, this is a good way, not only to make the Lighthouse Country have some scruples, but also to strengthen the strength of the empire, it is simply a double kill!” Hallvig nodded repeatedly.
