Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Gentlemen, the outbreak of a large-scale war on the European continent is an excellent opportunity for us, and the longer and more bitter this war is fought, the better it will be for us. If we can seize this opportunity, our country will rise rapidly. In the future, Europeans will no longer look down on us. We will have the opportunity to really catch up with the whole of Europe! Wilson said.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” The high-level officials of the lighthouse country all answered.

As the elites of the Lighthouse Nation, they all hope that the Lighthouse Nation will rise and become the most powerful country in the world. This is also realizing their life value.

“Gentlemen, the Germanic Empire also made a second request, that is, to be able to obtain a loan from the Empire. The amount of the loan amounted to two billion dollars. However, the loan will be used entirely to buy the empire’s grain, steel, oil and non-ferrous metals. There is no doubt that the Germans realized where their shortcomings lay and that war was imminent. So, they are consciously making up for this shortcoming! Wilson said.

“Two billion dollars, the appetite of the Germans is probably too great! However, if this loan is used to buy our supplies, it can make our economy grow rapidly. Treasury Secretary William McAdoo said.

“Lack of resources has always been the biggest disadvantage and shortcoming of the Germans. Especially if their navy cannot defeat the Royal Navy of the Empire, their coastline will be blocked by the Royal Navy of the Germanic Empire. This was an extremely heavy blow to the Germanic Empire. The Germans are stockpiling supplies in advance for the war! Secretary of the Navy Joseph Daniels said.

“So should we grant the Germanic request and approve this loan?” Wilson asked.

“Your Excellency, I think we can approve this loan, which is a good opportunity to close our relations with the Germanic Empire. Although the Allies are at a slight disadvantage, they also have a chance to turn around. If we can bet on both ends, it will undoubtedly ensure that we are always on the winner’s side! Second Commander William Brian said.

“Yes, Your Excellency. If the Germanic Empire had received a large loan from us and bought a lot of supplies. Then, the strength of the Germanic Empire will be greatly improved. The potential for war will also increase dramatically. This can play a significant role in enhancing the strength of the entire Allied Group. This will also make the war more protracted. This will also be of even greater benefit to us! War Secretary Lindley Garrison said.

Wilson nodded: “If there is no objection from everyone, then we will approve this loan to the Germanic Empire.” ”

Other high-level officials of the lighthouse country all agreed with this.

“Your Excellency McAdoo, then the Ministry of Finance is responsible for contacting the various banks in the country and asking them to unite to provide this loan to the Germanic Empire.” Wilson said.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” William McAdoo replied.

With such a large loan, one or two banks will definitely not be able to eat, and several large banks must join forces.

“The Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Commerce also need to cooperate to ensure that all these loans are used domestically to purchase our goods.” Wilson continued.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Agriculture Secretary David Houston and Commerce Secretary William Redfield both answered.

“Gentlemen, this war will be a good opportunity for the rapid rise of our lighthouse nation. We will certainly be able to seize this opportunity and surpass the whole of Europe in one fell swoop. Perhaps, after this great war, we will become the new world hegemon! Wilson made no secret of his ambitions.

The other high-ranking officials of the lighthouse country also had the same bright eyes. They also yearn for such a day to come.

Subsequently, William Bryan, the second commander of the Lighthouse State, William McAdoo, the Minister of Agriculture, David Houston, and the Secretary of Commerce, William Redfield, negotiated with the German Empire’s foreign secretary Holwig.

After three days of negotiations, the two flyers finally reached an agreement and signed the loan agreement.

The government of the lighthouse country guaranteed the Germanic Empire and borrowed two billion dollars from the bank syndicate of the lighthouse country at an annual interest rate of ten percent. Five years later, the Germanic Empire began to repay the loan, which was repaid in three years.

All loans will be used to buy resources such as grain, steel, oil and non-ferrous metals in the lighthouse country.

After the loan agreement was signed, a group of banks in the lighthouse country immediately credited the loan to a special account. This account, which is regulated by the government of the lighthouse country, ensures that the loan is only used in the territory of the lighthouse country.

Subsequently, the Germanic Empire also sent a large purchasing mission to the Lighthouse Country to purchase all kinds of materials needed by the Germanic Empire.

As much as two billion dollars in purchased materials, enough for the Germanic Empire to purchase a very large amount of materials.

This also caused the price of various resources in the lighthouse country to rise one after another, and many businessmen took this opportunity to make a lot of money.

The economy of the lighthouse country seems to have become more prosperous under this influence.

Lighthouse Nation will not only be able to generate a large amount of interest income from this loan. At the same time, it is also possible to obtain large profits from the process of selling these materials. It can be said that the benefits earned by the lighthouse country inside and outside are not less than these two billion dollars.

At the same time, it also stimulates the employment of lighthouse countries, so that the employment rate of lighthouse countries has been greatly improved.

Of course, the Germanic Empire also benefited greatly from this.

These supplies purchased from the Lighthouse Nation were continuously transported back to the Germanic Empire by ship. These materials will be stored as part of the national strategic reserves of the Germanic Empire.

When a future war breaks out, once the coastline of the Germanic Empire is blocked by the Royal Navy of the Empire, the materials in these strategic reserves will make the war machine of the Germanic Empire operate normally. The vast strength of the entire country will be unaffected. To ensure that the Germanic Empire can not be damaged by lack of materials, and to ensure that the Germanic Empire can win future wars as much as possible.

The German Empire’s foreign minister Holwig visited the lighthouse country this time, which can be described as a complete success and a full return.
