Germanic Empire: please call me William III

The Dutch Spice Islands colony was very rich and populous.

In Europe, the Lotus Blue Kingdom is just a small third-rate country.

Whether it was the Empire of the Rising Sun, the Kingdom of Gaul, or the Germanic Empire, the Spice Islands were coveted. But it is precisely because several powerful countries want to compete, and no one will give in.

This allowed the Dutch kingdom to roam between several great powers and maintain good relations with several major powers. Therefore, this rich colony was preserved.

As Liu Chuan, if you want to go to the Spice Islands to find mineral deposits, it is naturally not a problem.

However, if the news of a large gold mine worth two or three billion marks leaks out here, I am afraid that the sun will not set and people will immediately rob it.

Two or three billion marks, converted into pounds sterling is also more than a billion, is already a huge amount of money that can make the sun never set.

Therefore, Liu Chuan made up his mind, even if he found the gold mine and mined it. Externally, it can only be declared a copper mine, not a gold mine.

Although the value of copper ore is also very high, it is not as noticeable as gold mines.

However, the Grasberg Gold Mine is located near Chaya Peak, where the mountains are densely forested, and it is not so easy to find the gold mine. Even if it is found, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to be able to mine it, and it will also need to build a special railway of thirty kilometers long to transport the ore out. It was then transported back to the Germanic Empire for smelting, where gold, silver and copper were extracted.

And all of this requires a lot of money.

With Liu Chuan’s current cost of more than one million marks, it is simply not enough!

“It looks like we need to find a partner.” Liu Chuan held his chin.

“In the whole empire, who is a more suitable partner than William II?” Besides, he’s the father of this body, and he won’t pit me! Liu Chuan made up his mind.

“Boom!”

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Liu Chuan opened the door, only to see an old man with gray hair standing outside the door.

This is the royal butler Jonalet, whose family has been serving the Hohenzollern family for over two hundred years. Even, don’t look at him as just a butler, he also has the title of nobility.

“Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the office!” Jonalet said.

“All right, Grandpa Jonalet. By the way, what has Uncle Charles been doing lately? Liu Chuan asked.

Charles Jonalet was the son of Jonalet the Elder. However, after graduating from university, he did not want to continue to work as a housekeeper for the Hohenzollern family. So, always do things outside.

However, because high is not low, it has not been done.

This disappointed the elder Jonalet, who had to pin his hopes on his grandson, who would inherit his business and continue to serve the Hohenzollern family.

“Who knows? In a letter last month, he was over there in Hamburg. Old Jonalet shook his head, looking helpless.

Liu Chuan nodded, “Can you let Uncle Charles come to Bai lin for a visit?” I have very important things to talk to him about. ”

Old Jonalet looked at Liu Chuan suspiciously, but still nodded.

Liu Chuan met His Majesty the Emperor in the office of William II.

Because of his physical disability, Wilhelm II had an extreme personality. Arrogant and conceited, unable to listen to opinions. But it is undeniable that he is still an emperor with great talent.

However, his ambitions were too great, far beyond the national strength of the Germanic Empire.

Therefore, in the end, the empire collapsed and fled the miserable end of the homeland.

“Father, do you have anything to do with me?” Liu Chuan asked.

“August, you’re sixteen years old. According to royal tradition, you’ll then head to the Army Academy or the Naval Academy. I personally prefer you to go to the Naval Academy. Now the Empire is vigorously developing the navy and needs a large number of naval talents. As a member of the royal family, you need to contribute to the empire and to the royal family! William II had a serious look on his face.

“Okay, Father, I have no opinion personally.” Liu Chuan answered.

Wilhelm II had a satisfied smile on his face.

“However, Father Emperor, originally planned to make a round-the-world trip before going to the Naval Academy.” Liu Chuan continued.

William II thought for a moment and then said, “It’s good to travel around the world, you can increase your knowledge.” I’ll talk to Dean Ludwig Berkenhagen, and you can cover it a year later. ”

The Germanic Naval Academy was the premier institution of the Imperial Navy.

If others want to enroll, it is very difficult and needs to be tested.

But Liu Chuan can not only easily enroll, but even postpone the enrollment time.

This, perhaps, is the prerogative of the royal family.

“Father, Circumnavigation was just my previous plan. Now, I have a new plan. I know from a number of sources. In the new Guinea island area of the Dutch Spice Islands colony, there is a huge gold mine. I intend to set up a mining company to explore and develop it. I hope that my father will support me and invest in me. I promise, this is definitely a lucrative business. Liu Chuan said impatiently.
