Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III
Chapter 207
Among the many neutral countries, the most powerful is the lighthouse state.
Lighthouse Nation has the largest industry in the world and a population of more than 90 million.
Even in terms of top-notch technology, lighthouse countries are inferior to Europe. However, its great strength is still not to be underestimated.
If nothing else, the Beacon Nation Navy alone is worth wooing the warring sides.
After all, the Beacon Nation Navy is the world’s second most powerful navy after the Sun Never Sets Imperial Navy and the Germanic Imperial Navy.
If the Lighthouse State is involved in the war at this time, it can definitely play a decisive role.
The Sun Never Set Empire, despite knowing the rise of the Lighthouse Nation, posed an extremely great threat to their maritime supremacy. It will even shake their hegemony.
However, compared to the threat posed by the Germanic Empire, the threat posed by the Lighthouse State was less immediate.
And if they can make the lighthouse country their ally, let the lighthouse country shed blood and die for this war. Perhaps, you can also take the opportunity to pit the lighthouse country. Thus limiting the speed of their rise.
Edward Gray, the foreign minister of the Sun Never Set Empire, went to the Lighthouse Country for a secret visit, also with the conditions of the Sun Never Set Empire.
In order to win over the lighthouse country, the Sun Never Sets Empire has opened up great conditions.
For example, the overseas colonies of the Germanic Empire would be given a large part to the Beacon State. The investment of the Germanic Empire in the Americas would also be obtained by the Beacon State.
You know, as an emerging power that rose later, the lighthouse country is also very eager for overseas colonies. But it is a pity that they rose too late, when the world had already been divided.
The Lighthouse Nation still looked at the declining old state of the Sibanya Kingdom, launched a war against the Sibanya Kingdom, and after defeating them, took the Luzon colony and the Gubar Island colony from the Sibandians.
At the same time, the lighthouse country also regarded the American continent as its own back garden, and strictly forbade other countries to enter the American continent. However, the Germanic Empire also desperately needed emerging markets, and competed fiercely with the lighthouse nation in South America. Many countries in South America received strong investment from the Germanic Empire. The Germanic Empire had a lot of assets in South America.
If the Lighthouse State receives these assets, then they will be able to truly control the American continent.
You don’t need to think about it, this will be a great temptation for the lighthouse country.
Although, the Sun Never Sets Empire sent the foreign minister to visit the Lighthouse Country secretly this time, and did it very secretly.
However, the intelligence agencies of the Germanic Empire were still very bullish.
When Edward Gray left the mainland of the Sun Never Set Empire on a cruiser and was on his way to the Lighthouse Country, the Germanic Empire had already received relevant news.
And this news also made August nervous.
Although, he was confident that under his leadership, the Germanic Empire was much more powerful than another time and space.
However, he was still not confident that he could lead the Germanic Empire to victory in the war even if the Lighthouse Kingdom became an enemy. The power of the Lighthouse Country is too strong, far from what the current Germanic Empire can handle.
Especially when the Germanic Empire was already struggling to deal with several old powers such as the Empire of the Sun, the Gallic State and the Russian Empire.
If the lighthouse country chooses to be the enemy of the Germanic Empire, it is very likely to become the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.
Although August believed that the Lighthouse Nation would not make a decision lightly, he would wait until the war situation was clear before making a statement. But no one dares to guarantee whether there will be changes in this time and space.
“Your Majesty, we must find a way to stabilize the Lighthouse Country. They have become the biggest variable in this war. With our strength, it is already very difficult to deal with the sun does not set, the Gauls and Tsars. Although, we have enough strength to defeat these old and strong enemies. But if the lighthouse state joins in, it will put us under even more pressure. If we want to win, it will be even more difficult! Prime Minister Holwig looked serious.
“Yes, Your Majesty. Especially when we are about to launch a large-scale attack on the Western Front and crush the Sun and Gauls in one fell swoop, we need to avoid the Beacon State becoming our enemy! The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Moltke Jr., also said.
The army mobilized by the Germanic Empire was up to two hundred infantry divisions, twenty cavalry brigades, twenty heavy artillery brigades, ten armored divisions. This is almost at its limit.
It is remarkable to mobilize a hundred more infantry divisions, ten cavalry brigades and ten heavy artillery brigades, and this is definitely already at the limit.
However, if the Lighthouse State chose to go to war against the Germanic Empire, they could easily mobilize millions of troops.
This was undoubtedly a very big threat to the Germanic Empire.
“Waiting for the human should not easily express their position. However, no one dares to be sure what conditions the sun will impose on the lighthouse country. If the conditions they offer are very high, the lighthouse country may be excited and will agree. After all, the Beacon Country is also a mercenary country! August said.
“Your Majesty, what should we do then? Do you want to send people to the lighthouse country and lobby the lighthouse country so that they do not participate in the war? Foreign Secretary Gustav Strezemann asked.
August shook his head: “There is no need for this, if we send people now, it will only make the Lighthouse Country more and more arrogant, thinking that both of us have to win them over.” Besides, even if the Lighthouse Nation goes to war, it will be our enemy. We may not be able to defeat them completely. However, there is no problem in dominating the European continent. ”
“Yes, Your Majesty is right. Even if the Lighthouse Nation decides to enter the war, with their current preparations, it is already too late. Soon we will be able to launch an offensive on the Western Front and crush the Gallic State before the Lighthouse State sends its troops. After that, it mobilized the main forces to advance east and crush the Russian Empire. Then, even if the Lighthouse Nation enters the war, they will at most keep the empire that never sets. What’s more, once we dominate the entire European continent and have the resources of the entire European continent as support, we will develop even stronger. In the future, even if the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Lighthouse Country join forces, we can also defeat them! Marshal Moltke Jr. said.
“That’s right, that’s my plan. Let’s break the Gallic state first. In this way, even if the Lighthouse Nation becomes an enemy, we have nothing to fear! August said.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The high-ranking officials of the Germanic Empire all answered.
For the Germanic Empire, the lighthouse state was indeed the biggest variable and the biggest threat. However, as long as the Germanic Empire was able to defeat the Gaul state as planned. Then, the Germanic Empire was already invincible.
