Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

On 12 July 1713, the Germanic Foreign Minister Holwig left Berlin and took a train to the Wilhelmshaven naval base.

There, he will cross the Atlantic on the battlecruiser Moltke of the Germanic Imperial Navy for a state visit to the Lighthouse Country. And the lighthouse country also attached great importance to the visit of the foreign minister of the Germanic Empire. After all, the Germanic Empire was one of the most powerful countries in the world.

A week later, the battlecruiser Moltke arrived in Niuyo, a huge battleship that attracted many onlookers from the Beacon Country. The battlecruiser Moltke has a full load displacement of more than 28,000 tons, which is no smaller than the super dreadnought built by the Navy of the Lighthouse Country.

In order to show the importance of the visit of the foreign minister of the Germanic Empire, William Bryan, the second commander of the Lighthouse State, personally went to Newyo to greet Holweg.

The foreign affairs of the lighthouse country are all in charge of the second commander.

“Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, welcome to the Lighthouse Country!” William Brian had a smile on his face.

“It is also my honor to visit the lighthouse country and see the prosperity here!” Hallwig said.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Holwig was put on a special train and headed for Washington.

The leader of the Lighthouse Congress, Wilson, was already waiting.

According to the process, Holwig will go to the White Palace to meet the Grand Commander Wilson, and then he will have talks with the Second Commander William Brian.

On the evening of July 19, Grand Commander Wilson held a state banquet at the White Palace to entertain Holvig and others.

The high-level cabinet of the Lighthouse Nation and other celebrities were invited to attend the banquet.

Such a high-standard hospitality from the Lighthouse Country also made Holweg and others very satisfied.

The next day, the talks officially began.

Everyone’s faces did not have the smile of yesterday, and their expressions became serious.

After all, when it comes to national interests, no one can take it lightly.

“Your Excellency, international relations are becoming more and more tense now. The contradictions and conflicts between the Allies and the Entente have intensified. We can even assert that a war that will affect the whole of Europe and the whole world is about to break out. It will be a war on a larger scale than in human history. No country is immune to itself.

His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to the Lighthouse Country, and you, like the Empire, belong to the emerging powers. We all have strong industrial strength. However, we don’t have enough market. The old colonial powers carved up the world, and we got only a few corners. They forbade our goods to enter their colonies for sale. This allows them to make huge profits with backward goods, even inferior goods. In contrast, we are very difficult.

If our two countries want to rise, they must break the blockade of the old powers and the old colonial system and world order they have built. Only in this way can we achieve greater development.

It can be said that our two countries have common enemies and common interests. Our two countries are naturally allies! ”

Holwig made no secret of the importance that the Germanic Empire attached to the Lighthouse Nation and unleashed the goodwill of the Empire.

If the Lighthouse Nation could join the Confederate in the fight. Well, they won.

Even the mighty Royal Navy could not cope with the Germanic Imperial Navy and the Lighthouse Navy at the same time.

Second Commander William Brian nodded, and many of Holweg’s words made him agree.

Lighthouse countries have the largest industrial output value in the world, but the biggest problem now is that the old powers control most of the world’s colonies, making it impossible for lighthouse countries to enter these markets.

On the one hand, the lighthouse state called for an open door and wanted goods to enter the markets of various colonial powers. On the one hand, it declares that the Americas are the Americas of the lighthouse country, and other countries are not allowed to enter. It can be seen that the lighthouse country almost regards the Americas as their own land, and it also has great ambitions.

Of course, other countries are still entering the American continent, especially the South American continent, which is the focus of the game for countries.

The Germanic Empire also had a very large investment in the South American continent. There has been fierce competition with the lighthouse country.

However, in contrast, the contradictions between the two countries are not sharp and prominent.

“Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, we have no intention of joining a side, and we do not want our country to be involved in war. If a war does break out in the future, we will not enter the war, but will remain neutral! William Bryan said.

Holvig sneered in his heart, how could the Lighthouse Country not enter the war?

If you don’t go to war, how can you grab the fruits of victory?

However, even if they participate in the war, they will most likely have to wait until the international situation is clear. In this way, it is in their best interest. They were able to win the final victory at the least cost.

“Your Excellency, if the Lighthouse Nation can join us, we will definitely be able to win this war! At that time, the interests of the old powers will be divided by us. The future world order will also be established by us. Hallweg said.

I have to admit that the pie painted by the Germanic Empire is too tempting. However, there are also risks.

Participating in war means a high risk of suffering huge casualties. Where there is war, there will be casualties, and this is inevitable.

But in the same way, only after participating in the war can you get a share of the fruits of victory, and without paying, there will be no gain.

“Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, we have no intention of joining any military-political alliance, let alone getting involved in war. So I’m very sorry. Of course, we do not want to be enemies of the Germanic Empire. William Bryan said.

Holvig nodded, sure enough, as His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire expected, the lighthouse country did not see rabbits and did not spread eagles, and if the war situation was not clear, they would definitely not participate in the war.

“Your Excellency, if this is the case, then we will not force it. If the Lighthouse Nation wants to ally with the Empire in the future, the Empire is always welcome! Hallweg said.

“Thank you for your understanding!” William Bryan also breathed a sigh of relief.

“However, Your Excellency, I have another request for coming this time. That is, the empire wants to be able to get a loan from the Beacon Country. This loan, we will use all of it to buy supplies from the Lighthouse Country. We need resources such as oil, steel, grain and non-ferrous metals. You can charter your merchant ship to transport back to the mainland of the empire! Hallwig continued.
