Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“Your Majesty, the strength of the Lighthouse Nations is indeed very strong, and their industrial output is much higher than that of the Empire. They also had more people than the Empire, a larger territory than the Empire, and richer resources than the Empire. It can be said that in addition to the military strength and scientific and technological strength can not be compared with the Empire, the Lighthouse Nation is stronger than the Empire in all aspects.
Moreover, military strength and scientific and technological strength can be improved. Given enough time, the Lighthouse Nation will most likely develop into a more powerful nation than the Empire.
Even if the Lighthouse Nation is not good, it will become an important opponent of the Empire in the struggle for world hegemony! ”
The Chief of the General Staff, Admiral Moltke Jr., was acutely aware of the power and potential threats of the Lighthouse Nation.
“Yes, the potential of the Lighthouse Nation is too terrible. If they are allowed to continue to develop, they will inevitably become the greatest opponents of the Empire. However, for the Empire, the main thing now is to defeat the Empire of the Rising Sun, gaul and the Russian Empire and dominate all of Europe. If the Empire can defeat these established powers and become the hegemon of Europe. Even, the power of integrating the whole of Europe. Then, the lighthouse nation is not to worry. August said.
As the center of the world, the European continent is far stronger than the lighthouse nation, both in science and technology and industry.
Once the Germanic Empire had integrated all of Europe, even if it had only integrated most of Europe, it would have been enough to surpass the lighthouse nation.
“Like us, the Lighthouse Nation is facing the oppression of established powers such as the Empire of the Rising Sun. It can be said that we have a common enemy. If they can unite with us, it would be the best. Holwig said.
“It depends on how the top level of the lighthouse country considers it.” However, I personally think it is very unlikely that they will agree to an alliance with us now. August said.
The rest of the Germanic Empire nodded their heads, and it was naturally impossible for a great power like the Lighthouse Nation to make a decision easily.
“Your Majesty, if the Lighthouse Nation is unwilling to ally with us. Or even, what about becoming our enemy? Marshal Tirpitz said.
“If that’s the case, then we have to win quickly on the battlefield. Quickly crush our enemies. At least quickly crush a formidable enemy. Let the Lighthouse Nation see where we are strong. This also makes them dare not make decisions easily. More precisely, it is to use our great strength to force the lighthouse nation to remain neutral. In this way, we will be able to buy us enough time. August said.
Admiral Moltke Jr. nodded, “If that’s the case, then we’re going to be under a lot of pressure in the early days of the war.” ”
“Yes, but I think we should be able to accomplish this task. For example, at the beginning of the war, or within a year, the Gallic state was crushed. Shun took the Imperial Expeditionary Force and the Russian Imperial Army with heavy damage. In this way, the lighthouse nation will not dare to act rashly.
If the Imperial Navy hit the Imperial Royal Navy again and gained the advantage at sea. Then, the lighthouse nation will not dare to participate in the war! ”
August continued.
“Your Majesty, the strength of the army of the Lighthouse Nation is not very good. However, their naval strength is still very strong. In the era of the pre-dreadnought, they built a large number of pre-dreadnoughts. When the Great White Fleet was sailing around the world, it formed a huge fleet of 25 battleships. Although in Europe it was shocked by the Imperial Royal Navy and the Imperial Dreadnought. However, the Lighthouse Nation also actively began to build dreadnoughts, and even built a number of super dreadnoughts. Their strength is also not to be underestimated! Count Marshal Tirpitz had a serious expression.
“Indeed, the naval prowess of the Lighthouse Nations cannot be underestimated, and they have a very powerful fleet, 8 in the dreadnought alone. They also have several super dreadnoughts under construction. Even, in the lighthouse nation’s naval construction plan, they will build a very large fleet of dreadnoughts and super dreadnoughts. August said.
In August’s memory, the Lighthouse nation built a vast fleet of 8 dreadnoughts and 11 super dreadnoughts throughout the World War.
This is definitely second only to the huge fleet of the Imperial Navy and the Germanic Imperial Navy.
If you count as many as 28 former dreadnoughts, the strength of the Lighthouse Nation’s navy can be imagined.
With the strength of the Germanic Imperial Navy, there is naturally no fear of the Lighthouse Navy.
But if the Lighthouse Navy and the Imperial Navy join forces. Then, if the Germanic Imperial Navy wanted to win, I am afraid it would not be so easy. Even, there is a possibility of failure.
Therefore, the Germanic Navy had to take these factors into account and try to avoid them.
August, though, believed that if all went well. The Germanic Navy was able to equip aircraft carriers later in the war. Even if the lighthouse navy joins in, then, there is nothing to be afraid of. The Germanic Imperial Navy was also able to win the final victory of this war!
“Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, you are on this trip to the Lighthouse Nation, and if they are not willing to ally with the Empire, then find a way to obtain a loan from the Lighthouse Nation to purchase food, oil, and rare metals and other materials from the Lighthouse Nation. The amount of the loan, the more the better. The more supplies you can buy from the Lighthouse Nation, the better!
In this way, the Empire owes money to the Lighthouse Nation, and they will not easily declare their enemies with the Empire. If they dare to join the allied side. Then the Empire would settle its debts directly and not repay their loans.
If they had remained neutral, after the Empire had defeated the Empire of the Rising Sun, the Gaul And the Russian Empire, it would have been able to obtain large amounts of war reparations. At that time, the Empire will not have to worry about not being able to repay these loans from the Lighthouse Nation.
What’s more, the Empire purchased a large number of materials from the Lighthouse Nation, which could further strengthen the Empire’s strength and provide greater help for the Empire to win future wars. ”
Auguste said with a smile.
This time, Holwig was sent to the lighthouse country, and the biggest purpose was to dig a pit for the lighthouse country.
“Your Majesty, this is a good way to make the lighthouse nation have some scruples, and at the same time to strengthen the strength of the empire, it is simply to kill two birds with one stone!” Holwig nodded.
