Germanic Empire: please call me William III

On July 12, 1713, Holwig, The Germanic Foreign Minister, left Bolin and took a train to Wilhelmshaven Naval Base.
There, he would travel across the Atlantic on the Battlecruiser Moltke of the Germanic Navy to the Lighthouse Nation for a state visit. The Lighthouse State also attached great importance to the visit of the Foreign Minister of the Germanic Empire. After all, the Germanic Empire was one of the most powerful states in the world.
A week later, the battlecruiser Moltke arrived at Nyoyo, a huge warship that attracted the attention of many lighthouse people. The moltke battlecruiser has a full load displacement of more than 28,000 tons, which is no smaller than the super dreadnought built by the lighthouse navy.
In order to show the importance of the visit of the Foreign Minister of the Germanic Empire, William Bryan, the second commander of the Lighthouse Nation, personally went to Nyon to greet Holwig.
The foreign affairs of the Lighthouse State are all under the responsibility of the Second Commander.
“Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, welcome to the Lighthouse Nation!” William Brian’s face was full of smiles.
“It is also an honor for me to visit the lighthouse country and see the prosperity here!” Holwig said.
After a brief greeting, Holwig was invited to a special train to Washington.
The Lighthouse Grand Commander-in-Chief, Wisson, was already waiting.
According to the procedure, Holwig will go to the White Palace to meet with the Grand Commander-in-Chief, William Brian, before meeting with the Second Commander William Bryan.
On the evening of 19 July, Grand Commander Wierson hosted a state banquet at the White Palace, hosting Holwig and others.
The top cabinet members of the Lighthouse Nation, as well as other celebrities, were invited to attend the banquet.
Such a high-standard hospitality in the lighthouse country also made Holwig and others very satisfied.
The next day, the talks officially began.
Everyone’s faces no longer had yesterday’s smiles, and their expressions became serious.
After all, when it comes to national interests, no one can take it lightly.
“Your Excellency, the Second Commander-in-Chief, international relations are becoming more and more tense now. The contradictions and conflicts between the Allied powers and the Entente have intensified. We can even assert that a war is about to break out throughout Europe and the whole world. It will be a war bigger than the largest in human history. No country can stand alone.
His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to the Lighthouse Nation, and you, like the Empire, are emerging powers. We all have strong industrial strength. However, we do not have enough market. The old colonial powers have carved up the world, and we have only a few corners. They forbade our goods from entering their colonies for sale. This allows them to make huge profits from backward goods, even inferior goods. In contrast, we are very difficult.
If our two countries want to rise, they must break the blockade of the old powers, break the old colonial system and world order they have established. Only in this way can we achieve greater development.
It can be said that our two countries share common enemies and common interests. Our two countries are naturally allies! ”
Holwig made no secret of the Germanic Empire’s importance of the Lighthouse Nation, unleashing the Empire’s goodwill.
If the Lighthouse Nations can join the Allied bloc to fight. Well, they’re done.
Even the mighty Royal Navy could not cope with the Germanic Imperial Navy and the Lighthouse Navy at the same time.
Second Commander William Brian nodded, and many of Holwig’s words made him agree.
The lighthouse nation’s industrial output is the largest in the world, but the biggest problem now is that the old powers control most of the world’s colonies, making it impossible for the lighthouse nation’s goods to enter these markets.
On the one hand, the lighthouse states called for the opening of their doors and wanted goods to enter the markets of the various colonial powers. On the one hand, it also claims that the Americas are the Americas of the lighthouse countries and are not allowed to enter other countries. It can be seen that the lighthouse countries have almost regarded the Americas as their own reserves, and they also have great ambitions.
Of course, other countries are still entering the American continent, especially the South American continent, which is the focus of the game between countries.
The Germanic Empire also had a very large investment on the South American continent. There has been fierce competition with the lighthouse countries.
However, the contradictions between the two countries are not sharp and prominent in comparison.
“Your Excellency, The Foreign Secretary, we have no intention of joining a particular party, and we do not want our country to be involved in war. If a war does break out in the future, we will not go to war, but will remain neutral! William Bryan said.
Holwig sneered in his heart, how could the lighthouse nation not enter the war?
If you don’t go to war, how can you grab the fruits of victory?
However, even if they participate in the war, they will most likely not enter the war until the international situation is clear. In this way, it is in their best interest. Only then will they be able to win the final victory at the least cost.
“Your Excellency, if the Lighthouse Nation can join us, we will certainly be able to win this war!” At that time, the interests of the old powers will be divided among us. The future world order will also be established by us. Holwig said.
I have to admit that the pie depicted by the Germanic Empire is too tempting. However, there are also risks.
Participating in war means that it is very likely to suffer huge casualties. Where there is war, there will be casualties, which is inevitable.
But in the same way, only after participating in the war can you share the fruits of victory, and you will not gain without paying.
“Your Excellency, The Foreign Secretary, we have no intention of joining any military-political alliance, much less of getting involved in war. So, I’m sorry. Of course, we did not want to make enemies of the Germanic Empire. William Bryan said.
Holwig nodded, and sure enough, as His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire had predicted, the Lighthouse Nation would not see the rabbits and not the eagles, and if the war situation had not been clarified, they would never have participated in the war.
“Your Excellency, if this is the case, then we are not reluctant. If the Lighthouse Nation wants to ally itself with the Empire in the future, the Empire welcomes it at all times! Holwig said.
“Thank you for your understanding!” William Bryan was also relieved.
“However, Your Excellency, the Second Commander, I have one more request for this visit. That is, the Empire hopes to be able to obtain a loan from the Lighthouse Nation. This loan, we will use all of it to buy materials for the Lighthouse Nation. We need resources such as oil, steel, grain and non-ferrous metals. You can charter your country’s merchant ships to ship back to the Empire itself! Holwig continued.
