Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“Your Excellency, The Prime Minister, the Emperor of the Germanic Empire, has discovered a huge copper mine on the Spice Islands of the Dutch, of great value. Every day, ships transported the mined copper back to the Germanic Empire for smelting.

The value of the copper mine is still very high, and besides, it is very close to our New Guinea colony, and we must not find a way to seize that copper mine. ”

The Sun Never Sets On Imperial Colonial Secretary Alfred Littleton advised.

“This was a blatant provocation against the Germanic Empire and would have provoked the young emperor of the Germanic Empire. Young people, it’s the time when the anger is great. We are probably not fit to provoke each other at this time. Chancellor of the Exchequer Austin Chamberlain advised.

“Yes, in any case, the Germanic Empire voluntarily abandoned the construction of ten battleships, which in a way was also a gesture of favor to us. There is no need for us to provoke each other on this issue. Arthur Belfort also said.

Although, the value of a copper mine is great.

But for the Empire, the Sun Never Sets, they have the world’s vastest and richest colony. A copper mine is simply insignificant to them.

Even this copper mine may allow the Germanic Empire to develop to some extent. But in the eyes of the Empire that never sets, it still doesn’t pose too much of a threat.

“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, if it is only a copper mine, that is it. There are rumors that there are not only copper mines, but also gold and silver mines. The Imperial officials in the colony of New Guinea also wanted to find out the specific situation. However, the Germanic defense was too tight. They sent mine guards there, at least a thousand people. Moreover, those people were retired soldiers of the Germanic Imperial Army. In addition to this, the Germanic Imperial Navy had a cruiser that cruised in nearby ports for a long time. This has to make other people think wrong.

If it is a copper mine, it is very valuable. But for the Empire, it was nothing at all. But if the rumors were true, a gold and silver mine, it would be completely different.

The huge reserves of gold mines were also a great wealth for the empire. If the Germans are in their hands and continue to mine, it will make the Germans gain huge benefits and make them more powerful! ”

Alfred Littleton raised his concerns.

Arthur Belfort and the other cabinet ministers of the Empire who never set the sun could not help but look serious.

If it was just a copper mine, they didn’t care at all.

But if it’s a gold mine, and it’s a huge reserve of gold, it’s completely different.

“Keep sending people to inquire about the relevant news.” If the rumor is wrong, it’s just a copper mine, forget it. If it is a gold mine, and the reserves are huge, we will find a way to take it from the Germans! Arthur Belfort said.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!” Alfred Littleton replied.

The other cabinet ministers also nodded their heads in agreement with the plan.

Spring to autumn, time is like a white colt passing through the gap.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered 1705 AD.

The Germanic Emperor Auguste was also eighteen years old.

Having been emperor for a year, he had completely grasped the power of the entire Germanic Empire.

However, at this moment, the international situation is becoming more and more responsible, and the contradictions between European countries are becoming more and more acute.

The Germanic Empire and the Gaul Kingdom, in the Moroco region of West Africa, once again met.

The Germanic Empire had a great interest in that car, and the Gaul State intended to expand there. In addition, it was originally a colony of the Sibanyas, so that the situation was very complicated.

However, the situation appears to be tense. But neither the Germanic Empire nor gaul was prepared for war. So, don’t look at the clamor. But in fact, it is simply thunder and rain, and it is impossible to fight at all.

Charles Jonalet, general manager of August Mining, has finally returned from the island of New Guinea.

“Your Majesty, the mining of gold is on track. Last year we mined a lot of gold, silver and copper from the mine. In addition to all kinds of costs and taxes, a total profit of 1.2 billion Imperial Marks! Charles Jonalet said.

Liu Chuan nodded, he had already grasped this data.

However, although August Mining Company made amazing profits, there was not much left in Liu Chuan’s hands.

The Navy, the Army, the Cabinet and the Royal Family each took twenty percent.

Liu Chuan himself invested another 180 million Imperial Marks in Krupp, and he only had 60 million left.

“Uncle Charles, the gold mine must be kept strictly confidential. Once the news leaks, the sun will definitely attack us. Liu Chuan reminded.

The present Germanic Empire has no way to confront the Empire of the Rising Sun. Therefore, it can only be kept as confidential as possible.

Even if the paper cannot contain fire, it can be kept secret for as long as it can be kept secret, which is the most beneficial to the German empire.
