Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“Your Excellency, is the Navy going to break the Navy’s oath and go straight to the side?” General Schlieffen was displeased.

Lieutenant General Moltke Jr. was also surprised, and did not seem to understand why Count Tirpitz would do this.

Everyone knows that Count Tirpitz was a confidant of Wilhelm II and had a very close relationship with Wilhelm II. William II has just died, and the Earl of Tirpitz is about to intervene in the succession to the throne?

“General Schlieffen, I did this all for the sake of the Empire. I always believe that Prince Auguste is the most suitable heir to the throne! Count Tirpitz said.

“Can you tell us why?” Lieutenant General Moltke opened his mouth.

Liu Chuan smiled, then said, “Two generals, you should know the news that I have set up a mining company and discovered a huge copper mine in the Spice Islands.” ”

General Schlieffen and Lieutenant General Moltke Jr. both nodded.

This news was not news in the germanic empire high society.

Of course, the people who envy Liu Chuan don’t know how many.

“Actually, it’s not a copper mine. It is only in order not to attract attention and not to attract the attention of the sun and not to set, so it is publicized to the outside world that it is a copper mine. In fact, it was a gold and copper mine. The reserves of gold reached more than 3,000 tons, and the reserves of silver also reached more than 10,000 tons. In addition, there are more than 30 million tons of copper ore of nearly 40 million tons. The entire mine is worth up to two or three billion marks! Liu Chuan said.

“What? My God! Both General Schlieffen and Lieutenant General Moltke Jr. exclaimed.

When they looked at Liu Chuan’s eyes, they were suddenly different.

If Liu Chuan was just an ordinary prince before. So now, Liu Chuan already has the wealth that is not inferior to that of the old domestic consortium of the German Empire.

The Germanic Empire was also a capitalist country, or a highly developed capitalist country. In such a country, money is very important, and even money is omnipotent.

“I have promised His Excellency the Count that from now on twenty per cent of the annual revenue of august mining company will be donated to the Navy free of charge as a special military expense of the Navy until the mines are fully exploited. I know that the Army is also very short of money, and I can also promise to donate twenty percent of august mining’s annual revenue to the Army.

In my plan, August Mining will be able to earn at least a billion marks a year by mining mines! ”

Liu Chuan directly showed his hole card.

The Germanic Army now had a standing strength of up to 600,000 men.

So many armies have to pay salaries, train, buy weapons and equipment and other materials, and need a large amount of military expenses every year.

In fact, the Germanic Army was also too tight. The annual military expenditure is not much more than that of the Navy. Under such circumstances, if an additional 200 million marks or more military expenses can be obtained from Liu Chuan every year, then all problems can be solved.

General Schlieffen and Lieutenant General Moltke Jr. understood why they chose to support Liu Chuan.

The Navy is able to get so much military money from Liu Chuan every year. Then, the Navy’s large-scale shipbuilding plan can be implemented. The Navy dreams of challenging the Imperial Royal Navy!

With Liu Chuan’s support, this dream will undoubtedly be realized soon.

Lieutenant General Moltke Jr. looked at General Schlieffen, waiting for him to make a decision.

As deputy chief of staff, his power is not small, and his influence is also huge. But before he actually succeeded to chief of the general staff, General Schlieffen was the head of the army.

However, as far as Lieutenant General Moltke Jr. was concerned, he felt that there was nothing wrong with supporting Liu Chuan to inherit the throne.

After all, in this way, the army can receive two hundred million marks or more of military expenses from Liu Chuan every year.

“Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I do not want to use money to buy the throne, but I hope that the Empire can really become stronger. Our enemies are very powerful. And our allies, to be honest, are really not good. Therefore, in the event of a war in the future, we can only rely on ourselves.

The international situation is now becoming more and more tense, and I am sure that within ten years the war will break out. Will the Empire be ready when the time comes? Can you defeat so many powerful enemies?

It seems to me that in the future wars, if the Empire wants to win, it must use our advanced mobilization system and perfect railway transportation to gather the main forces at the beginning of the war and storm the gaul state. In the shortest possible time, the Gaul states were crushed and forced to withdraw from the war. After that, the main army was mobilized to attack the Tsarist Empire to the east. Only then will we have a chance of winning. But to do all this, you have to prepare for everything in advance!

If I can become the Emperor of the Empire, I will do my best to support the Army in preparing for war! ”

Liu Chuan once again put forward his own views.

General Schlieffen’s eyes lit up, which coincided with many of his views.

He also suddenly felt that Liu Chuan’s succession to the throne might really be the best choice.

“Your Royal Highness Prince August, if you can commit to doing all this, the Army can support you!” General Schlieffen took a stand.

“I can swear to God!” Liu Chuan’s face was firm.
