Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

On the railway from the port of Kiel to Hamburg, the special train of Count Tirpitz, Minister of the German Admiralty, was moving.

Count Tirpitz is known as the father of the German Empire’s navy, and it was during his tenure that the Germanic Empire’s navy developed considerably. Of course, the main thing was the support of Wilhelm II.

The ambitious Wilhelm II became more ambitious as the Germanic Empire grew stronger, wanting to challenge the hegemony of the Empire. And the main force that the Sun Never Sets Empire can maintain its hegemony is the navy. With the Germanic Imperial Army claiming to be invincible in the world, vigorously developing the navy has become the primary goal of Wilhelm II.

This made Wilhelm II’s cooperation with the Count of Tirpitz intimate.

Wilhelm II provided support to the Count of Tirpitz, who helped the Germanic Empire build a world-class navy.

But alas, Count Tirpitz’s plan had not yet been realized, and Wilhelm II hung up. This made Count Tirpitz, while grieving the death of his best friend, also very worried about the future development of the navy.

The navy is a gold-swallowing beast, and every warship is piled up with money.

For a new emperor, without the courage of Wilhelm II, the Germanic Imperial Navy would not have been able to develop rapidly. Especially when the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire has such a big advantage, it is undoubtedly more difficult for the Germanic Imperial Navy to challenge the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets, or even surpass the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets.

If Crown Prince William had not had an accident and would have succeeded to the throne. Perhaps, there will still be strong support for the Navy. But unfortunately, Crown Prince William has also become a vegetative person, and the chance of waking up is very small.

This made Count Tirpitz inevitably fall into the future of the next navy, and even the future of the Germanic Empire.

“Your Excellency, Prince August has sent a telegram asking you to stop at Hamburg train station for a while. His Royal Highness hopes to be able to board your special train and return to Palin! The secretary walked into Count Tirpitz’s office on the special train and reported to him.

“Prince Auguste?” Count Tirpitz couldn’t help but frown.

For this prince who has recently been in the limelight, Count Tirpitz naturally knows.

Prince August, who was only sixteen and not yet seventeen, postponed his entry to the Naval Academy in Kiel Harbour and went treasure hunting. This made Count Tirpitz scoff at this for a while, thinking that Liu Chuan was also a guy who did not learn and did not have skills.

But what he didn’t expect was that Liu Chuan actually succeeded.

Despite August’s announcement, Liu Chuan has only found a copper mine with huge reserves. However, the value is already very high.

This also made Count Tirpitz quite impressed Liu Chuan.

“Tell the conductor to stop at Hamburg train station for a while!” Count Tirpitz said.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” The secretary replied.

Count Tirpitz was suddenly interested in Liu Chuan.

What virtue the other sons of William II were, Count Tirpitz naturally knew very well. The second prince, Prince Ettel Friedrich, studied at the Kiel Harbor Naval Academy. It’s just that this is just a guy who doesn’t learn and has no skills.

Although the third prince Adalbert studied at the War College, his reputation was also very bad.

If they were allowed to inherit the throne, the future of the Germanic Empire would probably be completely ruined.

Count Tirpitz even thought to himself that if Liu Chuan succeeded to the throne, it might be different.

Regardless of talent or luck, Liu Chuan’s performance during this period was very good.

Of course, how to choose, Count Tirpitz still has to think about it.

For Liu Chuan, gaining the support of the army was extremely important, and this was the only way for him to surpass his two older brothers and ascend the throne as emperor. If the two elder brothers do not voluntarily give up the right to inherit the throne, even if he forcibly ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will be questioned. Some people may even think that his throne is not legitimate.

But if with the support of the army and forcing the two brothers to give up the throne, everything will be logical.

After all, in the Germanic Empire, it was simply impossible to become an emperor without the support of the army.

Compared with the army, which is strong, but has many mountains and solidified classes, the navy is undoubtedly an emerging force. As Lord of the Navy, Count Tirpitz had a great influence in the navy.

If you can convince Count Tirpitz and get his support, it is equivalent to gaining the support of the entire navy.

On this basis, if you go to negotiate with the army, everything will be much easier.

Liu Chuan couldn’t help but show a satisfied smile when he learned that Count Tirpitz had promised to stop at Hamburg Railway Station and let him take a ride. He knew that he was one step closer to the throne.
