Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Beacon Country, Washington, White Palace.

The second commander, William Brian, immediately returned to the White Palace after concluding the meeting with Edward Gray, the foreign minister of the empire that did not set on the same day, and reported the results of the meeting to the Grand Commander Woodrowe.

After listening to William Bryan’s report, Woodrowerson’s expression also became serious.

“To be honest, the sincerity of the Sun Never Sets Empire is still very sufficient. If we can really defeat the Germanic Empire and allow us to receive the overseas assets of the Germanic Empire in South America, we will gain great benefits. At the same time, the entire American continent has truly become our back garden. Moreover, the sun does not set and people are also right. If the Germanic Empire wins the war and dominates the entire European continent, it will definitely not be a good thing for us! Woodrower said.

“Yes, Your Excellency. The Germans were very ambitious. They wanted to crush old powers such as the Gallic Kingdom and the Empire of the Sunset, plunder their colonies, and dominate all of Europe and the world.

Although, our industrial output value already belongs to the first in the world. But it has to be admitted that Europe is still the center of the world. The entire industry of Europe combined is much stronger than ours. Once the Germans won the war, they would have integrated the forces of Europe to compete with us. At that time, I am afraid that we will not be their opponents at all. ”

William Bryan was also worried.

The Lighthouse Nation is equally ambitious, hoping to snatch world hegemony from the hands of the sun.

However, they did not want the supremacy of the sun to fall into the hands of the Germans. In that case, it will be even more difficult for them to seize world hegemony.

“However, to be involved in this war is a big deal. This is especially true when the war situation is not yet clear. War, after all, is to die! Woodrower sighed.

William Bryan nodded. For the lighthouse nation, whether or not to participate in the war is indeed a very difficult choice.

“Come, gather cabinet ministers and high-level military officials to deliberate!” Woodroweson did not act arbitrarily, but summoned the military and political leaders of the Lighthouse Nation for deliberation.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” The secretary immediately went to make arrangements.

Soon, the top cabinet and military officials of the Lighthouse Country were all gathered. There was a discussion about whether the Lighthouse Nation should go to war, and which side to join.

“Your Excellency, if you want to enter the war now, I’m afraid it’s too early. On the European battlefield, it was not possible to distinguish between victory and defeat. The Germanic Empire already had a certain advantage in the early stages of the war. However, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets, the Gallic State and the Russian Empire were also actively organizing forces in an attempt to launch a counterattack. In addition, the Kingdom of Caesar also joined the Entente, making the strength of the Entente still very strong.

However, if this is to mean that the Entente is undoubtedly victorious, it is not necessarily true. The powerful combat power displayed by the Germanic Empire in this battle was enough to shock the whole world. In this war, they used a large number of new weapons. Their tanks and aircraft, as well as their great firepower, were the main factors that allowed them to easily defeat the Sun and Gauls and the Tsars on the battlefield. ”

Minister of War, Lindley Garrison, apparently appreciated the performance of the Germanic Empire’s troops on the battlefield.

“How big is the gap between our army and the army of the Germanic Empire?” Woodrower asked.

“Your Excellency, our army is not mobilizing. There are only more than 100,000 troops in the country, and the number of National Guards in various states. If we really want to go to war and still be enemies of the Germans. Well, we have to mobilize the army first. Then, strengthen the firepower of the army, develop advanced tanks and aircraft, and so on. In this way, our army can have the qualifications to fight the Germans, and will not be slaughtered by the Germans after going to war! ”

The chief of staff of the army, Major General Hugh Scott, bluntly pointed out the problems facing the Army of the Lighthouse Nation.

Woodrower’s face suddenly became very ugly.

Originally, he also thought that as one of the world’s top powers, the military strength of the lighthouse country could not be underestimated.

But he didn’t expect that everything was too much for him.

Although they have a strong industry, they are undoubtedly a long way from being a first-class power in military terms.

Especially in the army, the gap is particularly large.

“Your Excellency Grand Commander, we can first mobilize the army and improve its combat effectiveness. Wait until the battle situation is clear, and then decide whether you want to join the war, which side to join, etc. As long as we have great strength. Then, our interests can be guaranteed, and no one will dare to harm our interests! War Minister Lindley Garrison proposed.

Woodrower nodded, he thought it was a very good idea.

“Well, gentlemen, given the situation in our country, and the situation on the battlefield, it is too early to say anything. We’ll wait a little longer and wait until the battle is clear before making a decision. At the same time, during this time, the army was to mobilize. I hope that by the time we decide to go to war, we will already have enough and strong enough troops! Woodrower said.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” The high-level officials of the lighthouse country all answered.

Woodrower is also very clear that the ambitions of the Beacon State need strong military strength to support it. Without strong military power, everything will be empty talk.

Just like the current lighthouse country, the air has strong industrial strength, but in addition to the navy can barely be regarded as strong, the army is really not enough.

And this simply cannot support the powerful ambitions of the lighthouse country.

Therefore, Woodrowei and Johnson had to press down first and wait for a while. Wait until the war situation in Europe is clear, wait until the military strength of the lighthouse state is further improved, and then make a choice.

The Lighthouse Country is still neutral, which disappoints the Sun Never Sets Empire.

The Germanic Empire, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that they have more time to crush the sun and the Gauls. Perhaps, the victory can be sealed before the Lighthouse Nation decides to join the war. At that time, the lighthouse country will naturally not dare to act rashly.
