Germanic Empire: please call me William III

The Sun Never Sets Empire, Fog Capital, Downing Street Prime Minister’s Office.
The Prime Minister of the Empire, Herbert Asquith, immediately summoned the Imperial Cabinet Ministers to discuss how to deal with the current situation.
“Gentlemen, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, was assassinated by the Selbians and has been killed. The entire Austro-Hungarian Empire was already in rage. You don’t have to think about it to know that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely attack the kingdom of Selvia next. War is likely to break out soon. And we, this time, are afraid that we will also be involved in the war! Prime Minister Herbert Asquis had a serious expression.
Even if the Empire of the Rising Sun is the hegemon of the world, it is also very cautious about war, especially large-scale wars.
Because this will also be related to the fate and future of the empire that never sets, and whether their hegemonic position can be stabilized. Especially when the emerging powers want to challenge the supremacy of the Empire that never sets, they need to be more cautious.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, is this crazy for the Selweians?” At this time, when the Crown Prince of austria-Hungary was assassinated, wouldn’t that be the initiative to provoke war? No country will allow their heirs to be assassinated by others. Austria-Hungary is bound to take revenge on a massive scale! Secretary of War Richard Haldane shook his head and looked speechless.
“Maybe it’s just a coincidence.” It is said that the Kingdom of Selvia had given a warning when it learned that the radicals wanted to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand. Unfortunately, Archduke Ferdinand did not pay attention. Or rather, he was too confident in himself. That’s why something like that happens. In some ways, Archduke Ferdinand was also looking for his own death. Austria-Hungary chose to conduct military exercises on the southern border in an attempt to deter the kingdom of Selvia, which naturally irritated the militants. He chose to go to the city to tour, is this not living impatiently? Foreign Secretary Edward Gray said.
“Gentlemen, it does not matter whether Archduke Ferdinand is looking for death or not. Above all, what should we do if austria-hungary went to war with the kingdom of Selvia? Do we want to keep our promises? Chancellor of the Exchequer George said.
The Empire of the Rising Sun also has a security promise to the Kingdom of Selvia. And this may be the reason why the kingdom of Selvia, although it is a small country, is so arrogant.
“Last time, we had a security commitment to the Holland Kingdom. As a result, the Germans ignored the warnings of the Empire and directly destroyed the Lotus Kingdom and annexed the Lotus Blue Kingdom. This has disgraced the Empire. If this time, the Empire does not fulfill its promises, then the Empire may not have any credibility to speak of! Foreign Secretary Edward Gray said.
The other ministers of the Empire who never set the sun also nodded their heads in agreement with this view.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Your Excellency, Ministers. The Gaul and Tsarist Empires have contacted us one after another, claiming that they will warn the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Once the kingdom of Selvia was attacked by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they would mobilize to wage war against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Moreover, they also hope that we will advance and retreat with them in accordance with the covenant. Edward Gray continued.
“Well, gentlemen, have you considered it? If everyone declares war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Then the Germanic Empire, as the Austro-Hungarian Covenant, must also declare war on us. Then an all-out war between the Entente and the Allied powers would break out. The whole of Europe will be at war. It will be an unprecedented large-scale war. Every country that participates in the war is bound to pay a huge price in the war. If the war is won, it does not matter, but it can also quickly restore its strength by plundering the defeated countries, and even become more powerful. But if it is defeated, the consequences will be very serious. Even the Empire could not afford it! Prime Minister Herbert Asquis had a serious expression.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this war is inevitable. Moreover, the Germans had always threatened the Empire. Their frenzied construction of capital ships has seriously threatened the Imperial Royal Navy. We must not let them go unchecked any longer. Otherwise, the hegemony of the Empire will be challenged by them. The Empire will be even more threatened.
If war breaks out, this may still be a good thing for the Empire. The Empire could take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the Germans once and for all and completely eliminate the Threat of the Germans to the Empire. No matter how bad it is, it will completely destroy the navy of the Germanic Empire. Only in this way can the hegemony of the Royal Navy be guaranteed! ”
The Secretary of State of the Navy, Sir John Fisher, was clearly in favour of the war.
All along, the Royal Navy has been the foundation of the Empire that never sets, and is the most important force in maintaining the hegemony of the Empire that never sets.
However, the germanic imperial navy was pressing forward, but the royal navy of the empire felt a great threat.
Even the Imperial Royal Navy, which never sets the sun, is frantically building all kinds of warships. However, it was no longer possible to ignore the threat of the Germanic Imperial Navy.
In order to solve the problem once and for all, the best way was to crush the Germanic Empire. In this case, it will be a hundred.
“Is the Royal Navy sure it can defeat the Germanic Imperial Navy?” If you fail, you should know what the consequences will be! Prime Minister Herbert Asquis frowned.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, if war were to go to war now, we would still have a great advantage. If we waited any longer, the Germanic navy would have been even stronger. At that time, we will have no advantage at all. “Sir John Fisher is very anxious.
Prime Minister Herbert Asquis nodded, “If you have no objections, then let’s decide.” Tell the Gauls and the Russian Empire that we fully support them. If war breaks out, we will be on their side. Since war must break out, let us seize this opportunity to crush our enemy in one fell swoop. ”
“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!” The ministers of the Empire who never set the sun answered one after another.
Everyone knows very well that the rapid rise of the Germanic Empire has posed a great threat and challenge to the hegemony of the Sun-Setting Empire. If you can use this war, with the help of allies, to crush the Germanic Empire in one fell swoop and remove the threat of the Germanic Empire to the hegemony of the Sunless Empire, it is definitely the best choice.
