Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

March 1712, Dutch Spice Islands colony, Batavia, Governor’s Palace.

The current governor of the Dutch Spice Islands colony Alexander Frederick has a livid face and looks like he wants to eat people.

“Paul, are you sure that the Gerasberg copper mine mined by the Germans is a gold-copper mine? And is it still a huge gold and copper deposit? Governor Alexander Frederick asked.

“Yes, Your Excellency, according to the information we have received, we have all been deceived by the Germans all these years. They are constantly mining large amounts of gold, silver and copper from the Grasberg gold and copper mines, and transporting them back to the Germanic Empire. They are like thieves, constantly stealing our wealth! Paul replied.

Paul was the magistrate of the colony, second in command in the entire colony after Governor Alexander Frederick.

“Damn it! Cunning Germans, they are just thieves, they are stealing our wealth! Governor Alexander Frederick was furious.

As the governor of the colony, if not the Germanic Empire mined the gold, the Dutch Kingdom would mine the gold. Well, he doesn’t know how much wealth he can get from it.

“Your Excellency Governor, are we going to take over the gold mine by force?” Paul asked.

Governor Alexander Frederick thought for a while, and then shook his head: “The Germans deployed a mine convoy of two thousand people in the gold mine, and it is said that they are all recruited retired soldiers, and their weapons and equipment are exactly the same as the regular army. If we launch a rash attack, it is simply impossible to succeed. What’s more, the Germans also deployed a certain army in Kaiser William’s territory, ready to reinforce the gold mines at any time. Even if we put all the garrisons into it, we may not be able to win! ”

The Kingdom of Holland only has more than 10,000 regular troops in the entire Spice Islands colony, and it is simply stretched to defend more than 1.9 million square kilometers of land with such an army.

If it weren’t for the fact that the entire indigenous people of the Spice Islands would have been completely tamed by them. Then, it is impossible for the Dutch to ensure their rule here.

“Gather troops and prepare at the same time, and report back home that we need reinforcements from home. It would be much easier if another infantry division were mobilized to reinforce us. Governor Alexander Frederick said.

Paul nodded: “Indeed, we need to get domestic support so that we can better deal with these problems!” ”

“By the way, Paul, where did you hear the news?” Governor Alexander Frederick asked.

“It was revealed to me by the sun that never sets!” Paul answered honestly.

“The sun doesn’t set? Damn the sun does not set people, are they trying to break out with us in conflict with the Germanic Empire? Governor Alexander Frederick couldn’t help but scold.

“Germanic people are really not a good thing. However, gold is real. The Germans have deceived us and are stealing our wealth! Paul said.

Governor Alexander Frederick nodded, no longer dwelling on the issue.

Governor Alexander Frederick then sent a telegram to the country.

And this immediately caused an uproar in the high-level of the Dutch Blue Kingdom.

Even more angry was the colonial minister of the Dutch kingdom, Johannes, who was the previous governor of the Dutch Spice Islands. During his tenure, it was also suspected that the Germanic Empire was mining gold in the Spice Islands. It’s just that the Germanic Empire did a good job of secrecy, and he never had evidence, and in the end he could only stop it.

“Oh God! Damn Germans, are they playing us for fools? They are stealing our gold. Over the years, the Germans don’t know how much gold belongs to us from the Spice Islands, they are complete thieves! “Johannes was furious.

“According to the revelations of the sun that never sets, the reason why the Germanic Empire was able to vigorously develop its navy and army and vigorously carry out the construction of transportation facilities was entirely because it obtained a large amount of gold from the Spice Islands.” Chancellor of the Exchequer Clariant said.

Prime Minister Simskok’s face was ugly.

He was also very dissatisfied with this behavior of the Germanic Empire. After all, those riches originally belonged to the Kingdom of Holland!

Because the Kingdom of Holland controls the rich colony of the Spice Islands, and at the same time is a small country with a population of only a few million, the national treatment is also very good under the condition of financial advantages. But who thinks they have too much money? The Germanic Empire is completely using the money of the Dutch Kingdom to develop itself! He also turned the Dutch Blue Kingdom around, which naturally made the Dutch Kingdom unacceptable.

“Your Majesty, we should indeed express our protest to the Germanic Empire and demand that the Germans return the gold mines, and even demand that the Germans repay the gold mined from the gold mines!” Simskok said.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, do you think this is possible? How could the Germanic Empire return the gold mines to us. Besides, it was we who issued mining licenses to the emperors of the Germanic Empire. Queen Wilhelmina, king of the Kingdom of Holand, said.

The Germanic Empire mined a large amount of gold from the Dutch Spice Islands, which also made Queen Wilhelmina very angry. However, she knew that the Germanic Empire would never bow down on this issue, and it would never be possible to return the gold. Even, if the Dutch Kingdom wants to recover the gold mine, the Germanic Empire will also fight against the Dutch Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Holland is just a small country with a population of more than six million, with weak national strength, and can only travel between several large countries. Only in this way can their interests be ensured. Otherwise, once you offend the Germanic Empire and anger the Germanic Empire. Well, the trouble is big.

This also made the high-ranking people of the Helan Kingdom couldn’t help but have solemn expressions.

“Is that all? Will we just let the Germans steal our gold? “Johannes was very upset.

“Alas! The gold of the Spice Islands, although important, is also very attractive. However, the key is whether we can get the gold mine and hold it. If you want to risk a conflict or even war with the Germanic Empire, it is not worth it! “Queen Wilhelmina is undoubtedly very wise.
