Germanic Empire: please call me William III

Marshal Count Tirpitz was greatly excited by August’s approval.
Originally, he was also worried that August would let the navy preserve its strength and let the Far East Fleet fend for itself.
“Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy has decided to dispatch one or two battlecruisers, plus one or two heavy cruisers, and two or four light cruisers, to form a fleet that will rush out of the North Sea and into the Atlantic Ocean to join Count Spey. When the time comes, take advantage of the speed advantage of battlecruisers, heavy cruisers and light cruisers to shake off the Imperial Royal Navy and return to the Imperial mainland! Marshal Tirpitz said.
August shook his head.
“Your Excellency, Marshal, you have imagined all this too simply. The sun does not set, nor is he blind, nor is he a fool, and he will never react to the fleet of the Imperial Navy after rushing out of the Atlantic. They will certainly mobilize a large number of battlecruisers and even battleships to encircle and intercept us. Even this would be regarded by the Sun Never Set as a perfect opportunity to wreak havoc on the Imperial Navy.
If the Imperial Navy loses one or two capital ships as a result. Well, this is definitely a big blow to the Imperial Navy! ”
August said that he had to think about the future decisive battle between the Germanic Imperial Navy and the Imperial Royal Navy. Naturally, he hoped that the Germanic Empire would win this great naval battle in the future.
“Your Majesty, what shall we do?” Marshal Count Tirpitz was in a hurry.
August thought for a moment and then said, “First of all, the size of the fleet to be dispatched should be appropriate, not too much, not too weak. Second, confidentiality must be required. By the time the sun did not set, the fleet had entered the Atlantic. They want to find a fleet on the vast ocean, and it is definitely more difficult than ascending to the sky! ”
“First question, the Navy sent two battlecruisers, two heavy cruisers and four light cruisers. The size of such a fleet is not weak, and it can even be said that it is strong. As long as it is not the main force of the Royal Navy that encounters the sun that never sets, it is completely possible to defeat them. No matter how bad it is, it can also be calmly retreated. If Count Spey’s warship had been damaged and its speed had decreased, it was possible to abandon the battleship. August said.
He wanted countSpe and other admirals to return safely, and as for the battleships, even if they were lost, they could be rebuilt.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Marshal Count Tirpitz replied.
“The second question is a little more troublesome. After the outbreak of war, the sun did not set on our coastline, and it is unknown how many submarines and small warships were deployed in the eastern part of the North Sea. Our coastline is too narrow, and it is easy for people to keep a close eye on us before the sun sets. We must therefore find a way to do this. August said.
“Your Majesty, have you decided to take my advice?” The commander of the navy, Prince Heinrich, looked surprised.
Prince Heinrich was the younger brother of Wilhelm II and the uncle of August, who had served in the Navy.
After the outbreak of war, he made a proposal that the Germanic Empire would take the kingdom of Damai and annex the entire Jutland Peninsula.
In this way, the coastline of the Germanic Empire would grow a lot. It would be very difficult for the Sun to continue to blockade the Germanic Empire. The Germanic Imperial Navy also made it easier to enter the North Sea, and even rushed out of the North Sea into the Atlantic Ocean.
August nodded, “Yes, for the Empire, the annexation of the Kingdom of Damai has great benefits. Since this is the case, the Empire will never let go of this opportunity. ”
“Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Damai is a neutral country. If the Empire attacked them, I am afraid that this would provoke a strong reaction from other neutral countries. The lighthouse nations on the other side of the ocean will also be more hostile to the empire. The new foreign secretary, Gustav Strassmann, said.
The other ministers also nodded their heads, and there was a hint of worry on their faces.
If the Germanic Empire attacked other neutral countries with impunity, it would definitely make the Germanic Empire an enemy of the whole world. When the time comes, it will inevitably cause the wrath of the people.
With the current strength of the Germanic Empire, it is far from the time to compete with the whole world on its own.
“To deal with the Kingdom of Damai, it is natural to find a suitable excuse.” Although the Kingdom of Damai was a neutral country, they allowed the Sun to set up intelligence agents. Even many officers of the Imperial Royal Navy were in the Kingdom of Damai, monitoring the Movements of the Imperial Navy in the Baltic Sea. Such an act, already in the name of neutrality, is actually partial to the Empire that does not set, which is already an enemy of the Empire. August said.
“Your Majesty, there is no definite evidence for the Empire.” The new Imperial Prime Minister, Holwig, said.
“Does the Empire need evidence? As long as the Empire suspected the Damai people of doing this, that was enough. Other countries, not even lighthouse nations, would really go to war against the Empire for a small Kingdom of Damai. They also had to think carefully about how much they would have to pay if they wanted to win the war once they joined the war! August said.
At the end of the day, it’s strength that matters.
The Kingdom of Damai was nothing more than a small, third-rate country with a population of less than three million.
For such a small country to put yourself in, it is not worth it.
“Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, as an Imperial envoy, you went to the Kingdom of Dammay to meet King Christian X of Dammay and tell them. Their folly had infuriated the Empire. The Kingdom of Damai had to pay the price for this. We can give them a chance to give up the throne and let the Kingdom of Damai join the Empire and become part of it. After all, the Damai were also a branch of the Germanic people, and it was perfectly okay for them to join the Germanic family! August said.
“Your Majesty, the People of Damai will certainly not agree!” Gustav Stresemann said.
“If the Damai people don’t agree, then the Empire can only use force.” With the weak strength of the Damai, the Empire could easily sweep them. Even, get rid of them in a day! Auguste looked disdainful.
The kingdom of Damai was too weak, the population was small, and the number of troops was only 20,000 or 30,000. Moreover, the equipment is rudimentary and the combat effectiveness is extremely low.
In the face of the mighty Germanic Empire, the Kingdom of Damai was absolutely vulnerable and could easily balance them.
