Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Thanks to book friends Ronin and X for their tips!

“Damn the Ottomans who dared to join the Allies, this is simply our enemy! We must not let them go! Winston, the new admiral of the Sun Never Sets Empire, looked angry.

The former Lord of the Admiralty, Sir John Fisher, was responsible for building ships, and the post of Lord of the Admiralty was also taken over by Winston.

The order to detain the two battleships of the Ottomans was given by Winston.

Of course, he informed Prime Minister Asquith before the action, and obtained the consent of His Excellency the Prime Minister.

However, what they did not expect was that the weak Ottomans did not choose to swallow their anger, but directly joined the Allies and declared war on them. This is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to them.

Of course, given the strength of the Ottoman Empire now, it cannot pose a threat to the Empire that never sets. However, this posed a great threat to the Russian Empire! More importantly, an important sea route on which the Russian Empire depended was thus cut off.

“After the Ottoman Empire joined the Allies, the situation of the Russian Empire would be even more difficult. They needed to deploy hundreds of thousands or more troops to defend against the Ottomans. More importantly, once the Dardanelles were cut off by the Ottomans, it would be difficult for the Russian Empire to be replenished with supplies! The Minister of War, Count Kitchener, had a serious expression.

However, they hoped that after the arrival of spring, the Russian Empire would launch a large-scale offensive on the eastern front, in order to weaken the large number of forces that contained the Germanic Empire and reduce their pressure on the western front.

Although the Russian Empire had a large population and a huge source of troops, it could mobilize a large number of troops.

However, the industrial strength of the Russian Empire could not quickly arm these mobilized armies.

If it was not possible to provide the Russian Empire with a large number of weapons, equipment and other materials, the war potential of the Russian Empire would be greatly weakened. The role that the Russian Empire could play in this war would be greatly reduced.

This, in turn, will have a great impact on the Gallic Kingdom and the Empire of the Sunset, which will allow them to bear more and greater pressure in the war.

“The North Atlantic route had limited capacity and was often attacked by Germanic fleets and submarines. In addition, in winter, icebergs are dense, which seriously affects traffic. And the materials transported to the Far East could not be transported to the Eastern European plain in time due to the limited capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway. This greatly affected the mobilization progress of the Russian Empire. If we do not solve this problem, it will have a great adverse effect on us. We may need to send troops to attack the Ottoman Empire and open up the Dardanelles. It even forced the Ottoman Empire out of the war! Count Kitchener continued.

“Shhh!”

Count Kitchener’s proposal made the ministers gasp.

The Imperial Expeditionary Force is moving away from reinforcing Gaul to help it resist the attack of the Germanic Empire. If you want to send troops to attack the Ottoman Empire. Then they have to mobilize more troops.

“Gentlemen, we can act together with the Gauls. The Gauls also hoped that the Russian Empire would play a greater role. After opening the strait, it is very beneficial for us! Count Kitchener continued.

“Let’s draw up a plan for the War Department. When necessary, we can launch an offensive against the Ottoman Empire! “Prime Minister Asquith finally decided.

Of course, whether it is necessary to launch this attack on the Ottoman Empire must also see the development of the war situation.

If they resisted the attack of the Germanic Empire next year, the Russian Empire also launched a large-scale offensive on the Eastern Front as scheduled, containing a large number of forces of the Germanic Empire. Maybe it’s not necessary.

If the war is not going well and requires the Russian Empire to break out more combat power, then it is imperative to launch an attack on the Ottoman Empire and open up the Dardanelles.

“Your Excellency, Prime Ministers. Although, the Kingdom of Caesar joined us. However, the Ottoman Empire joined the Allies. This more or less negates the growth in strength on both of our sides. Given the Germanic power, we desperately need more allies. In this way, our chances of winning will be greater! Foreign Secretary Edward Grey said.

“What do you suggest?” Prime Minister Asquith asked.

“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, in Europe, the strength of the Kingdom of Sibanya is also quite good, and it would be great if they could join us and declare war on the Germanic Empire and Austria-Hungary. The Eastern Empire in the Far East is also a great power. If you can join us, it can also be a great help. Edward Gray said.

“Even if the Sibanese join us, they can really help us. But, the Orientals, they are too far away from the European battlefield. Asquith shook his head repeatedly.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the fighting power of the Oriental people is still very strong. Their defeat of the Russian Empire proved this in the first place. If they can send an expeditionary force to fight in Europe, it will undoubtedly help us greatly. Besides, the naval strength of the Eastern Empire is also quite not weak. If they can send an expeditionary fleet to fight in Europe. Then our odds are even greater! Edward Gray continued.

“Well, you can woo the Sibanese and Orientals on behalf of the empire. If they are willing to join us, it is naturally the best. If we want to defeat the evil Germans, we need more allies! Prime Minister Asquith said.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, compared to the Sibanya Kingdom and the Eastern Empire, the Lighthouse Country is the one we need to really woo. If the lighthouse nation joins us, our advantage will be even greater. The huge population and strong industrial strength of the Beacon Country will directly help us crush the Germans! Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd George said.

“The lighthouse country is too cunning, they refuse to express their position, in the name of neutrality, they make a big war windfall!” Prime Minister Asquith said through a bite.

“No matter what, we have to keep trying.” Lloyd George said.

Prime Minister Asquith nodded: “Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, as the special envoy of the Empire, visit the Lighthouse Country in secret. Convince the Beacon Nation as much as possible to join us! ”

“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” Edward Gray replied.
