Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, this visit to the Lighthouse Country has been hard work!” August smiled.

This visit to Lighthouse Country by Holwig can be described as a complete success. This satisfied Auguste.

“Your Majesty, this time I finally lived up to Your Majesty’s expectations. Although the lighthouse countries are not willing to join the alliance, they are not willing to ally with us now. However, they are willing to provide us with large loans to buy large quantities of supplies from the lighthouse country. Hallwig said with a smile.

“The Lighthouse Country is not willing to form an alliance with us now, most likely because it wants to wait for the price and sell it, and then express its position after the war situation is clear. However, this does not have much impact on us. As long as we can win the war, the Lighthouse Nation will not be our enemy. Although he owes a huge amount of foreign debt, as long as the war is won, he can get a large sum of war reparations alone. At that time, you can naturally easily repay these debts! August said nonchalantly.

For the current Germanic Empire, winning the war of the future is the most important thing.

If you lose, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, August also did his best to find ways to win future wars.

Even if it costs a lot, it will not hesitate.

Of course, as long as the war is won, everything will not be a problem. The Germanic Empire could gain greatly from war. If you lose, then the entire Germanic Empire will collapse, so there is no need to bother with these problems, and naturally there are people behind to deal with it.

“Your Majesty, the Lighthouse Country is not willing to express its position now, if it is not good, it wants to bet on both ends and hide the evil intention! They clearly want to be on the side of the winner! Admiral Moltke Jr. said.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The lighthouse country has always held a hostile attitude towards the European continent, and if we want to surpass the European continent, we have to guard against it! War Minister General von Falkenhein also said.

August nodded, the ambitions and ideas of the Lighthouse Nation, of course, he was very clear.

“Gentlemen, it is true that as everyone said, the Lighthouse Nation has great ambitions, they want to surpass the European continent, and even want to replace the Sun Never Set Empire as the world hegemon. This is in conflict with the goals of the empire. So, if the future empire wins the war and becomes the hegemon of Europe. Then, the lighthouse state will become our greatest enemy on the road to world hegemony.

Of course, lighthouse countries may see the same way. That’s why they decided to help us, to give us a big loan, to make up for the war. In this way, the war between the Gauls and the old Maozi will become more bitter at the same time. At the same time, it will also cause a major loss of strength for the whole of Europe. In this way, the possibility of the lighthouse country surpassing Europe is even greater. The possibility of them becoming world hegemons is naturally greater! ”

August said.

When the high-ranking officials of the Germanic Empire heard August do this, their expressions couldn’t help but become serious.

“The ambitions of the lighthouse country are really big! They are just a group of lucky nouveau riche, and it is simply delusional to want to surpass the whole of Europe! Shoubilo said.

The other ministers nodded their heads one after another.

This is the general mentality of Europeans in this era, looking down on the lighthouse country, thinking that the lighthouse country is nothing more than a bunch of thieves, a group of nouveau riche.

But what they don’t know is that in another time and space, the lighthouse country seized the opportunity to rise and become a superpower through two world wars.

However, in this time and space, with the existence of August, the biggest bug, it may not be so easy for the Lighthouse Country to succeed again. If they don’t get it right, they’ll fail.

“Gentlemen, whatever the Lighthouse Nation thinks, no matter how ambitious they are. For the Empire, this is all something that needs to be considered later. What the Empire needs now is to make our Empire stronger. In the following wars, victory was won in the shortest possible time and at the least cost. In this case, the wishful thinking of the lighthouse country will not be sounded. Their plan fell through! August said.

The high-ranking officials of the Germanic Empire also agreed with this.

For the Daming Empire, winning the next war is undoubtedly the most important.

As for future competition with lighthouse countries, that is a matter for later.

If the Germanic Empire can quickly win the war, then the Lighthouse Country will naturally have no chance to intervene in this war. At the same time, Europe will not suffer much.

After the Germanic Empire became the hegemon of Europe, it could quickly integrate the strength of the entire Europe and quickly become stronger.

At that time, suppressing the lighthouse country will not be a problem.

“This time, we got a lot of supplies from the Lighthouse Nation. When these materials arrive, they are filled into the national strategic reserve. Our army building also needs to be accelerated. Perhaps, a war will break out soon in the future! August reminded.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The high-ranking officials of the Germanic Empire all answered.

The Germanic Empire wooed the lighthouse country in an attempt to pull the lighthouse country into the Allies, which can be described as a cold sweat for the sun and the Gauls.

Fortunately, the Lighthouse State refused the Germanic Empire’s request for an alliance, otherwise the Entente would be in danger next.

However, the Lighthouse State provided a large loan to the Germanic Empire, allowing the Germanic Empire to purchase large amounts of resources and other materials from the Lighthouse State, which also caused protests from the Empire and the Gallic State.

But the Lighthouse State claims that this is nothing more than normal trade.

If the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Gallic Kingdom need it, they can also place orders with the Lighthouse Country.

But the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Gallic Kingdom will not do that, they have vast overseas colonies to exploit, so they have not sent to the door to let the Lighthouse Country make money.

The top officials of the two countries even reached a consensus to wait until the Germanic Empire was solved before going to the trouble of the lighthouse country.

The rapid development and rise of the lighthouse country has also posed a threat to them.

In particular, the Sun Never Sets Empire has already felt threatened by its hegemonic status. This makes them naturally want to find a way to erase this threat.

As a result, the international situation has become more tense and complex.
