Germanic Empire: please call me William III

Gold is important, but it’s also very tempting.
However, the strength of the Lotus Blue Kingdom was too weak, and it was only a small country at all. Even if you get the gold mine, you can’t keep it! It’s like a three-year-old child holding a gold nugget in the downtown area, surrounded by salivating people, how can it be saved!
Queen Wilhelmina is undoubtedly very self-aware in this regard.
In order to preserve the colonies of the Spice Islands, the Dutch Blue Kingdom had worked very hard to maneuver with the great powers of the Same Sun Empire, the Gaul Empire and the Germanic Empire. Otherwise, the Spice Islands colony would have been seized by others long ago.
Queen Wilhelmina did not want to upset the current situation for the sake of a gold mine, thus laying the foundation for the Dutch kingdom.
The ministers of the Lotus Blue Kingdom, though very reluctant. However, they were also able to understand Queen Wilhelmina’s choice. Perhaps, this is the best choice for the Lotus Blue Kingdom.
“Your Majesty, it is true that we do not have the strength to keep the gold mines, and we do not have the strength to fight against the Germanic Empire. Therefore, maintaining the status quo is the best choice. Let’s think, we’ve never found this gold mine! Prime Minister Simscock sighed.
The other ministers of the Lotus Blue Kingdom also nodded their heads.
However, they soon learned that the development of things was not something they could control.
The Sun Never Sets Empire was greatly dissatisfied when it learned of the choice of the Lotus Blue Kingdom.
Naturally, they hoped that the Dutch Kingdom would be able to recover the gold mines and thus cut off the Germanic Empire’s greatest source of wealth. In this way, the Germanic Empire could not compete with the Empire of the Rising Sun.
Therefore, the Empire of the Rising Sun pulled up the Gaul Kingdom and put pressure on the Dutch Kingdom to reclaim the gold mines. Otherwise, they would unite to carve up the Dutch Spice Islands colonies. Moreover, in order to reassure the Lotus Blue Kingdom, the Sun Never Set Empire also assured the Lotus Blue Kingdom that it would ensure their safety.
Under such circumstances, the Lotus Blue Kingdom faced persecution and had to make a choice again.
“Your Majesty, the Sun Never Sets has clearly informed us that we are demanding that we take back the gold mine. Through the gold mines, the Germanic Empire seized a large amount of wealth and developed more and more powerfully, which already posed a great threat to the Empire that never set. Naturally, the Empire could no longer watch the Germanic Empire grow and develop. So they wanted to prevent the Germans from reaping the riches from the gold mines again. Prime Minister Simscock looked helpless.
As a small country, or a small country that survives in the cracks, the Lotus Blue Kingdom has no autonomous ability at all under such circumstances!
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, doesn’t the sun not set on us on a dead end?” If we forcibly repossessed the gold mines, the Germans would certainly be very dissatisfied, and would even directly use force against us. The current Germanic Empire maintains a standing army of millions! And what about us? There are only a few tens of thousands of people. If the Germanic Empire attacks us, we will not be able to resist at all, and we will soon be destroyed by the Germanic Empire! Secretary of War Peter had a look of anger on his face.
In his opinion, the Empire of the Rising Sun was simply to use the Lotus Kingdom as a gun to let them offend the Germanic Empire!
Queen Wilhelmina’s face was also very ugly, and she knew that now the Lotus Blue Kingdom seemed to have been forced to the brink of extinction.
“If we refuse to reclaim the gold mine, what will happen to the people who do not set?” Queen Wilhelmina asked.
“Your Majesty, the Sun Never Sets claims that if we do not cooperate with them, it will be an alliance with the Germanic Empire to occupy the opposite side of the Sun Never Set Empire, that is, the enemy of the Sun Never Set Empire. The Empire would unite with the Gaul empire and divide the Spice Islands colonies. Foreign Secretary Louis said.
“Damn! The sun does not set, this is a threat to us, forcing us to the road of extinction! “Queen Wilhelmina was furious and very depressed.
“Her Majesty, no matter what, we must not lose the Spice Islands colony. Otherwise, our finances will have no way to continue to sustain themselves. Our country will soon collapse! Colonial Secretary Johannes said.
“Yes, Her Majesty, the wealth harvested every year from the Spice Islands colonies has become an important part of the kingdom’s revenue, and we must not lose such a fortune!” Chancellor of the Exchequer Colline echoed that.
The current Lotus Blue Kingdom has finally declined.
In the past, the strongest morale of the Dutch blue kingdom even controlled more than seventy-five percent of the total tonnage of the world’s merchant ships.
This gave them enough strength to compete with the Empire for supremacy on the seas.
But unfortunately, the national strength of the Dutch Blue Kingdom was too weak, and after experiencing many wars with the Empire that never set on the same day, it was defeated, and it gradually fell, losing the capital to continue to compete with the Empire that never set.
Now, it is even more reduced to a third-rate small country, and it must rely on maneuvering between the big countries and seeing the wind and making the rudder, so that it can continue to be maintained.
Queen Wilhelmina’s brow furrowed tightly, and she knew that the problem had become very tricky now.
She did not want to offend the Germanic Empire, but she also did not want to lose the Spice Islands colony.
She knew very well that if the Empire of the Rising Sun and the Kingdom of Gaul were to divide up their colony of the Spice Islands, the Lotus Kingdom would never be able to keep it.
And once the Colony of the Spice Islands was lost, it would mean a fatal blow to the Lotus Blue Kingdom.
“Gentlemen, what shall we do now?” Queen Wilhelmina asked.
“Your Majesty, I am afraid that we have no other choice now. The Sun Never Sets has promised to keep us safe. If we do not cooperate with the sun and do not set, the consequences are not something we can bear. Prime Minister Simscock said.
The other cabinet ministers also echoed it.
After careful consideration, they still did not want to lose the Spice Islands colony. After all, this colony was too important for the Dutch Kingdom.
“Can we believe in the promise that the sun will never set?” Queen Wilhelmina was skeptical.
“Your Majesty, we have no other choice now, but to believe that the sun will not set!” Prime Minister Simscock was also helpless.
Queen Wilhelmina nodded, “Louis, as my envoy, go to Bolling to negotiate with the Germanic Empire and demand that they return the gold mines.” ”
“Yes, Her Majesty the Queen!” Foreign Secretary Louis replied.
Under the persecution of the sun never sets, Queen Wilhelmina finally decided to side with the sun never sets on the side of the Empire. However, she did not know how great a disaster this would bring to her and the entire Lotus Blue Kingdom.
