Germanic Empire: please call me William III

The lighthouse states also have great ambitions for hegemony, and they are not willing to be trapped in the New World, let alone be treated as upstarts by the whole of Europe. With the world’s most powerful industry, they are also eager to further improve their right to speak.

The Great White Fleet sailed around the world and did not fully achieve the goals of the Lighthouse Nation.

Although they shocked the Eastern Empire, they were shocked in the face of the Sun Never Setting Empire and the Germanic Empire.

This also makes the top level of the lighthouse country more determined to vigorously develop the navy.

Theodore, the commander of the Lighthouse Nation, quickly agreed with the cabinet leadership to step up efforts to start construction of the dreadnought.

However, because the lighthouse countries still have a big gap with the European first-class level in terms of advanced technology, such as naval guns, steam turbines and fire control systems.

This allowed the dreadnought of the Lighthouse Nation to build a lot of problems that needed to be overcome.

The lighthouse country can only take small steps and run fast, continuously accumulate experience, and achieve technological breakthroughs.

This makes each class of dreadnoughts in the Lighthouse Nation’s Navy basically only two. Moreover, there are also turtle warships that attach great importance to defense and firepower, ignoring speed.

Coupled with the relatively backward fire control system, there are many scattering points for shells. This makes the Lighthouse Navy dreadnoughts look very powerful and powerful. But in reality, it just looks scary. It’s exactly a paper tiger, and it breaks when you poke it.

But the lighthouse nation’s entry into the arms race has made the already tense situation even more tense.

The various powers are vigorously developing their navies, which further aggravates the financial difficulties of various countries.

War seems to be on its way, and no one can avoid it.

In the blink of an eye, it was October 1709.

August is also twenty-two years old this year. His fiancée, Princess Elizabeth Mary, was also sixteen years old.

According to the agreement between the Germanic Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, August and Princess Elizabeth Mary will be married.

On October 18, a grand wedding was held in Bailin.

All countries in Europe sent heavyweights to the wedding, and even the Empire of the Rising Sun was led by Crown Prince George.

August was well aware that Edward VII would hang up next year. Crown Prince George will take over the position of King of the Sun-Set Empire the following year.

In terms of generations, George is the elder of August. But unfortunately, in the next war, there is no such thing as kinship.

For the benefit of the country, even relatives can only fight to the death.

Besides, the Western people’s concept of family affection is relatively weak.

The Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I personally rushed from Vegena to Bolling to attend his granddaughter’s wedding.

The magnates of the Austro-Hungarian Empire came even more.

However, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of austria-Hungary, had a somber face throughout the whole process and seemed to be very opposed to this marriage.

After all, he was almost certain that August would marry Princess Elizabeth Andrey, for one very important reason for the opportunity to annex Austria-Hungary in the future. This is absolutely unacceptable to Archduke Ferdinand.

Under the auspices of Archbishop Bai Lin, the wedding officially began.

Auguste was dressed in the uniform of the Germanic Imperial Army, looking heroic.

Princess Elizabeth Mary, on the other hand, wore a white wedding dress, further setting off her beauty.

Although she was only sixteen years old, she had inherited the beauty of her grandmother, Princess Sissi, and was already alive and well as a trumpet princess Sissi.

For this beautiful wife, August was also satisfied. Not just because of her looks, and Princess Elizabeth Mary’s possession of the Austro-Hungarian inheritance. There is also a very important reason, that is, Princess Elizabeth and Mary were solitary in nature before, and rarely attended the various gatherings held by the noble princes and ladies, and naturally did not get involved in those vices.

“Your Majesty The Honourable Emperor William III, would you like to marry Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth Andrea Marie?” Whether poor, rich or sick…” asked the Archbishop of the Burling region.

“I do!” August replied.

“Your Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth Mary, would you like to marry His Majesty Emperor William III?” Whether rich or poor or sick…” the archbishop asked.

“I do!” Princess Elizabeth Mary replied firmly.

Although in the past three years, they have only been able to see each other two or three times a year. However, communication is almost weekly. This made the relationship between the two heat up quickly.

Princess Elizabeth Mary was also very satisfied with August.

In a word, the two are completely talented and feminine, and they are united.

“In the presence of God and of all my relatives and friends, I declare that His Majesty Emperor William III and Princess Elizabeth Mary are officially married. May God bless them! The Archbishop announced.

“Snap!” People who say there are wedding attendees are clapping and sending blessings, whether from genuine reason or not.
