Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, if the Cabinet does not have enough funds, you can consider borrowing a little from the bank. This may increase the empire’s financial debt. However, it is all about being able to win future wars. If we can win future wars. Then, everything is not a problem.

The last war we won with the Gauls, the Gauls paid us five billion francs of war reparations, equivalent to four billion Reichsmarks. And we got Alsace and Lorraine.

If this time we defeat the Gauls again. So how much war reparations should we demand from the Gauls? I personally believe that at least they should be paid ten billion Reichsmarks. In addition, the northern part of Gaul would be incorporated into the empire. In this way, the empire will not only be able to make a lot of money, but also greatly expand the territory area. In particular, the northern part of Gaul is also an industrially developed region.

If we add to this the Kingdom of Belis, which has always been closely following the Gallic kingdom and our enemy, the industrial strength of the empire will be greatly improved. ”

Liu Chuan introduced his views to the ministers.

The ministers couldn’t help but laugh when they heard this.

More than thirty years ago, the defeat of Gaul was undoubtedly the beginning of the rise of the Germanic Empire. In particular, the huge war reparations and iron ore production areas obtained from the Gallic Kingdom gave wings to the soaring of the Germanic Empire.

If the next war occurs, the Germanic Empire can win again. Then, naturally, more benefits can be obtained.

In contrast, even if you borrow from the bank now and owe some debt, it is undoubtedly acceptable.

“However, our opponents this time are not only Gauls, but also the Sun Never Sets and the old Maozi. Of course, this will make it more difficult for us to win. But in the same way, once we win the final victory, we can also get more benefits. Whether it is war reparations, territory, or overseas colonies, we can make a lot of money. In this way, we will not only be able to pay off all our debts, but we will also be able to achieve rapid development again. Liu Chuan continued.

“Yes, Your Majesty. If the Empire can win future wars, then the current effort is worth it! Shoubilo said.

The most crucial question, then, is whether the Germanic Empire can win future wars?

At least, the military bosses of the empire are very confident.

Even this time, the enemies of the Germanic Empire were indeed very strong. It will be very difficult to defeat them.

However, everyone had great confidence in the empire.

“Your Majesty, from now on, the Imperial Cabinet will proceed to the construction of strategic reserves. In order to be able to win, the empire will definitely be able to complete the construction of national strategic reserves and ensure that the empire will win in future wars! Shoubilo said.

Liu Chuan nodded, if the cabinet can fully cooperate, it would be better.

“It is also very important that the empire must encourage fertility. Our fertility rate must be further improved. All young men and women of legal marriage age are required to marry within two years, except because of further education, military service or illness. A couple must have more than three children.

Our population is too small, and we need more if we are to confront the enemy. The women of the empire must be allowed to act. ”

Liu Chuan put forward new requirements.

Although it seems too late now, there are only about ten years before the future war.

However, it is not impossible to find a way to delay the outbreak of war a little.

More importantly, this war may not catch up. But what about the next war?

Liu Chuan is already preparing for the next war.

If the Germanic Empire wins the next war. Then, the Germanic Empire would inevitably become the hegemon of Europe. However, if you want to become the hegemon of the world, you must defeat other enemies.

For example, the nouveau riche lighthouse country on the other side of the ocean, the oriental empire in the far east, and so on.

Coupled with the vast world, more people are needed to occupy it.

“Your Majesty, if the population continues to increase, the empire will become more crowded.” Shoubi Luo was worried.

“It’s not a problem. When they grow up, they can use the sword in their hands to open up more land for themselves and a broader living space for the empire and the entire nation. The imperial government could pass legislation to reward families with three or more remaining children. Subsidies are even given to ease their burden of raising children. Issues such as housing as well as work can also be addressed. In this case, I believe that soon the population of the empire will skyrocket. Liu Chuan said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Shoubi Luo replied.

Although, this meant that the expenses of the Germanic government would continue to expand. But since it has already been decided to borrow from the bank, there is nothing to fear.
