Germanic Empire: please call me William III

In May 1711, the situation in West Africa suddenly became tense.

On the 21st, an uprising broke out in the Kingdom of Morrogo against the Sultan.

A large number of rebels gathered and marched on the king of Rabat.

You know, Morogo is a protectorate of the Gaul State, and the police and security of Morogo are the responsibility of the Gaul State. There is no army of its own. Except that the Sultan has a guard.

The Morogo Sultan Abdul Hafid was terrified and rushed to the aid of the Gaul state.

The Gaulish state was also very timely, and immediately sent an army to Morrogo, occupied Rabat, and defeated the rebel army.

A steady stream of Gallic troops entered Moroco and easily suppressed the uprising.

However, this again harmed the interests of the Germanic Empire.

Six years earlier, at the Conference of Algeciras, the Germanic Empire had been suppressed by the combined forces of the Gaul, the Kingdom of Sibaya and the Empire of the Rising Sun, which had greatly damaged the interests of the Germanic Empire in Morogo. The whole of Morogo was controlled by the kingdoms of Gaul and Sibaya.

And now, the Gaul State has sent troops to occupy the whole territory of Morogo, no doubt to make Morogo a protectorate of the Gaul State! This was absolutely unacceptable to the Germanic Empire.

Although Morogo is a poor and backward country, its geographical location is very important, at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea.

After the Empire controlled the Strait of Gibraltar and guarded the throat of the Mediterranean Sea, if the German Empire could control Morrogo, it would undoubtedly be able to counteract this threat of the Empire of the Rising Sun.

Thus, the Germanic Empire began to operate its power in Morrogo very early.

Unfortunately, the rise of the Germanic Empire was still too late. So that it is at a disadvantage in the competition. It was also jointly suppressed by other established powers, and eventually its interests were seriously damaged.

After the problem arose in Morogo, Auguste immediately summoned the cabinet and military leaders to discuss a solution.

“Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Gaul is going to occupy all of Moroco and make it their protectorate! The Empire’s expatriates and merchants in Morogo suffered serious losses in the war. We must not watch the Gaul state occupy all of Morrogo, we must stop them! Shou bilo said.

“Yes, Your Majesty. However, the Gallic state dared to do so on the one hand, on the pretext of an uprising in Morrogo. On the other hand, it has gained the support of other countries. The Sibanians and the Sun Never Set are certainly supportive of the Gaul nation on this issue. The Empire, in particular, had become an ally of the Gauls. Foreign Secretary Holwig said with an expression.

August’s expression was equally serious, and the international situation was now becoming more and more tense.

The clouds of war have grown thicker on the European continent. You can even smell the smoke in the air.

As the military strength of the Germanic Empire continued to be strengthened, the self-confidence of the military generals of the Empire was also growing, which naturally made everyone full of confidence in future wars.

After the problem in Morogo, everyone’s attitude was more resolute.

“Your Majesty, six years ago, the Empire was not strong enough to compromise and give in. That was an absolute disgrace to the Empire. But this time, the Empire could never back down! Chief of the General Staff, Admiral Moltke Jr., said.

“What if this leads to an all-out war between us and the Empire of Gaul and the Empire of the Sun, or even with the Empire of Tsarist Russia?” The Minister of War, General Hehringen, said.

Suddenly, everyone’s expression became serious.

The present Germanic Empire, though powerful, was far from strong enough to confidently believe that it could defeat all its enemies.

In particular, the army and navy of the Germanic Empire were not ready.

The Army’s armored forces are being trained and are gradually expanding.

New and better tanks and armored vehicles are gradually being mass-produced and equipped with troops.

On the Navy’s side, a large number of battleships and battlecruisers are under construction. The only battleships that have actually entered service are four Nassau-class battleships, four Wichelsbach-class battleships and four Moltke-class battlecruisers.

In addition to this, five Caesar-class battleships, four King-class battleships and four Deflinger-class battlecruisers are under construction.

Even the fastest-paced Caesar-class battleships are expected to be in service until the end of this year or early next year.

It can be said that the Germanic Empire is now in a period of explosive growth and has not yet become really strong. If you want to be really strong, it will take a lot of time.

At the very least, it was not until all thirteen capital ships under construction were put into service, so that the number of capital ships of the Germanic Imperial Navy reached 25.

Of course, the more powerful warships in the future will continue to be built.
