Germanic Empire: please call me William III

Thanks to the book friends IBAbata, cheng199425 tips!
Holwig, the Foreign Minister of the Empire, as a special envoy of the Emperor, traveled to Constantinople for a state visit to the Ottoman Empire.
The Germanic Empire was connected to the Austro-Hungarian Empire by train, and the railway was built into the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, it was easy and convenient to get from the Germanic Empire to the Ottoman Empire.
At the Royal Palace in Constantinople, Holwig represented the Germanic Emperor Wilhelm III and met with the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed V.
However, the Ottoman Empire now implemented a constitutional monarchy, and the Sultan was only a symbolic head of state. Real power is in the hands of enver Pasha, Military Secretary and Chief of the General Staff.
And Enver Pasha is naturally the main object of Holwig’s meeting this time.
In addition to this, there was The Interior Minister Talat Pasha and the Minister of the Navy, Jamal Pasha. The three of them had in fact become the three giants of the Ottoman Empire and had taken control of the Ottoman Empire.
After meeting with Sultan Mohammed V, Holwig met directly with Enver Pasha and Jemar Pasha.
“Two Lords of the Pasha, the Empire has heard that your country wants to buy two new battleships. Therefore, the Empire took the initiative to come to the door this time. Empire-built battleships, definitely world-class battleships. We can build two powerful battleships for your navy, modelled on the Nassau-class battleships or the Helgoland-class battleships.
Once the Ottoman Empire had equipped these two battleships, you would have become an important force in the eastern Mediterranean. Even the confrontation with the Russian Empire on the Black Sea can occupy a great advantage! ”
Holwig began to market the equipment of the Germanic Empire.
In international exchanges, the arms trade is often the most important means of co-opting two countries.
If one country is willing to buy arms from another. Well, the meaning of closer is actually very obvious.
When Gemal Pasha heard this, he was a little moved.
It can be said that in this era, the warships built by the Germanic Empire and the Empire of the Rising Sun can be called the most advanced in the world.
However, the warships built by the Germanic Empire are not as famous as the warships built by the Empire that never sets.
After all, the Royal Navy is the hegemon of the seas.
“Your Excellency, The Foreign Secretary, if the Germanic Empire is willing to sell us warships, it would be the best. But what about the price? Our finances are very tight, and you must know this very well. Jemar Pasha said.
“Your Excellency, you can rest assured of this, for His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire has instructed that the Empire charge only the cost price this time. The friendly relations between our two countries can be regarded as having a long history. For the sake of the friendship between our two countries, we are willing to sell warships to you at the lowest price. Holwig said.
Gemal Pasha’s eyes flashed with joy.
However, he did not make a decision on his own, but looked at Enver Pasha. After all, Enver Pasha is the de facto ruler. Such a big thing as buying a warship naturally requires the approval of Enver Pasha.
“Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, we need to think again.” Enver Pasha said.
Holwig couldn’t help but frown, the conditions given by the Germanic Empire were already very generous. However, the Ottomans still had to consider that this was obviously not to agree to the Germanic Empire!
The so-called consideration, the high probability is a prevarication.
“Your Excellency, Mr. Pasha, the international situation is already very tense. Your country has lost both wars in the Balkans. This has already cost your country dearly. We sincerely invite your country to join the Allies. If we can win in the future war. Then your country will take back what it has lost. Holwig pointed it out.
Enver Pasha and Gemal Pasha frowned.
The fiasco of the Ottoman Empire in the war was a disgrace to them.
They all longed for the Ottoman Empire to rise again.
However, perhaps because they have lost too much, they are already afraid of losing, and they dare not easily express their position, for fear that they will lose again. That way, they’ll pay a bigger price.
“Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, this is a big matter that we need to think about carefully. After all, it was about the future fate of the empire! Enver Pasha said.
Holwig nodded, he could understand.
However, he was also somewhat worried that the Ottomans would not join the Allies even if the German Empire showed such great sincerity.
Perhaps, it will really make August accurate, the Ottomans are not optimistic about the Germanic Empire, thinking that the Germanic Empire has too low a chance of winning.
The Ottomans certainly wanted to win future wars and regain what they had lost. But equally, they are more afraid of losing the war. That way, their losses will be even greater.
“Two Pasha Excellencies, I will wait two days in Constantinople, and I hope that you will give a satisfactory answer!” Holwig said.
Enver Pasha and Jemar Pasha, of course, could not give Holwig any more assurances.
Subsequently, Enver Pasha, Talat Pasha and Gemal Pasha discussed this.
“The Germans were willing to sell us two battleships at a low price, and it was already obvious that they wanted to win us over. The international situation is now becoming more and more tense, and the competition between the Allied powers and the Entente group is becoming more and more intense. War, perhaps, will break out soon. So, what is the Empire going to do? Which party do you want to choose to join? Enver Pasha asked.
“The Germans were still very sincere, and the warships they built were not bad. Of course, if the Empire were to be tied to the Vehicles of the Germans in this way, some of it would be too risky. If the Allies lose the war, then we will lose a lot! Jemar Pasha said.
“Yes, at least from the current situation, the Chances of the Entente are a little greater. The Germanic Empire grew stronger over the years, although under the rule of their new emperor. However, the Empire that never sets is the world hegemon after all. The strength of the Tsarist Empire was even stronger. The strength of the Gaul state is also not weak. The allies of the Germanic Empire, whether it was austria-Hungary or Caesar, were much worse. It is not easy for them to win the war! Talat Pasha also said.
