Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

In May 1711, the situation in West Africa suddenly became tense.

On the 21st, an uprising broke out in the kingdom of Morogo against the Sultan.

A large number of rebels gathered and marched towards the royal capital Rabat.

You know, Morogo is the protectorate of the Gallic State, and the police and security of Morogo are all the responsibility of the Gallic State. It doesn’t have any army of its own. In addition to the fact that the Sudan has a guard.

The Morogo Sultan Abdul Hafed was frightened and hurriedly asked for help from the Gaul state.

The Gallic kingdom was also very timely and immediately sent an army to Morogo, occupied Rabat, and defeated the rebels.

A steady stream of Gallic armies entered Morogo and easily suppressed the uprising.

However, this again harmed the interests of the Germanic Empire.

Six years ago, at the Congress of Algeciras, the Germanic Empire was suppressed by the Gallic Kingdom, the Sibandian Kingdom and the Empire of the Sunset, which greatly damaged the interests of the Germanic Empire in Morogo. All of Morogo was controlled by the kingdoms of Gaul and Sibandia.

And now, the Gallic State has sent troops to occupy the entire territory of Morogo, undoubtedly to make Morogo a protectorate of the Gallic State! This was absolutely unacceptable for the Germanic Empire.

Although Morogo is a poor and backward country, its geographical location is very important, and it is located at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea.

After the Sun Never Set Empire took control of the Strait of Gibraltar and held the throat in and out of the Mediterranean, if the Germanic Empire could control Morogo, it would undoubtedly be able to offset this threat from the Sun Never Set Empire.

Therefore, the Germanic Empire began to operate its power in Morogo very early.

But alas, the rise of the Germanic Empire was still too late. So that it is at a disadvantage in the competition. It was also suppressed by the joint suppression of other old powers, and its interests were seriously damaged in the end.

After the problems in Morogo, August immediately summoned the top officials of the cabinet and the military to discuss a solution.

“Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Gaul is going to occupy the whole of Morogo and turn Morogo into their protectorate! The empire’s expatriates and merchants in Morogo suffered greatly from the war. We must not watch the Gallic kingdom occupy all of Morogo, we must stop them! Shoubilo said.

“Yes, Your Majesty. However, the Gallic state dared to do so, on the one hand, under the pretext of the uprising in Morogo. On the other hand, it has won the support of other countries. The Sibandians and the Sun Never Set are certainly all in favor of the Galls on this issue. Especially the Sun Never Sets Empire, they have already become allies of the Gauls. Foreign Minister Holwig said with an expression.

Auguste’s expression was also serious, and the international situation was now becoming more and more tense.

The cloud of war has grown thicker on the European continent. You can almost smell gunsmoke in the air.

As the military strength of the Germanic Empire continues to strengthen, the self-confidence of the military generals of the empire is also growing, which naturally makes everyone full of confidence in future wars.

After the problems in Morogo, everyone’s attitude became more resolute.

“Your Majesty, six years ago, the empire was not strong enough and had to compromise and retreat. That would be an absolute shame for the empire. But this time, the empire will definitely not be able to back down! The Chief of the General Staff, General Moltke Jr., said.

“What if this leads to a full-scale war between us and the Gallic Kingdom and the Empire of the Sun Never Sets, and even the Russian Empire?” War Minister General Helingen said.

Suddenly, everyone’s expressions became serious.

Although the current Germanic Empire was powerful, it was far from strong enough to confidently believe that it could defeat all its enemies.

In particular, neither the army nor the navy of the Germanic Empire were ready.

The Army’s armored units are being trained and gradually expanded.

New and better tanks and armored vehicles are gradually being mass-produced to equip the troops.

On the Navy side, a large number of battleships and battle cruisers are under construction. The only battleships that have really entered service are four Nassau-class battleships, four Wichelsbach-class battleships and four Moltke-class battlecruisers.

In addition, five ‘Caesar-class’ battleships, four ‘King-class’ battleships, and four ‘Derflingel-class’ battlecruisers are under construction.

Even the fastest construction of the Caesar-class battleships is not expected to be commissioned until the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

It can be said that the current strength of the Germanic Empire is in a period of explosive growth and has not really become strong. If you want to become really strong, it will take a lot of time.

At least, only after all thirteen capital ships under construction are commissioned, bringing the number of capital ships of the Germanic Imperial Navy to 25.

Of course, more powerful warships will continue to be built.
