Germanic Empire: please call me William III

The sun never sets on the empire’s homeland, the fog capital, the Prime Minister’s Office.

Imperial Prime Minister Arthur Belfort summoned a group of cabinet leaders to discuss the current situation.

Hundreds of years of hegemony have made the Sunless Empire like a robber, plundering a large amount of wealth in the world, and making them incomparably powerful.

Especially after mastering the world’s most vast and fertile colonies, they can not even develop new technologies, and with backward technology they can find enough markets for the goods they produce.

This made the industrial technology and strength of the Sun-Setting Empire gradually lag behind other emerging powers. However, by virtue of their monopoly on the colonial market, they still lived a very moist life.

Even the goods of the Germanic Empire, relying on the improvement of technology, are more affordable.

But the problem was that the colonies that could not enter the sun and never set also caused the sales of goods in the Germanic Empire to be greatly hit and affected.

Under such circumstances, the contradictions between the two sides will naturally become more and more acute.

In addition, the plundering of the colonies has become the strong foundation of the Empire that never sets. The world colonial system they established has become an important means for the empire to maintain hegemony without setting.

This made the Germanic Empire naturally extremely hostile to countries that threatened their hegemony.

Any country that threatens their hegemony will be ruthlessly destroyed by them.

There are already clear examples in the past, such as Napoleon the Great, such as the Russian Empire.

However, now it is the turn of the Germanic Empire.

“Gentlemen, I find that the young emperors of the Germanic Empire are becoming more and more incomprehensible. As soon as he took office, he stopped building the most important two-class battleship of the Germanic Navy. What is this for? Arthur Belfort asked.

“Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, the financial pressure of the Germanic Empire has always been very great, and the construction of the navy, especially the construction of capital ships, is the most expensive. The Germanic Empire may not be able to sustain itself financially, so it will choose to stop construction! Chancellor of the Exchequer Austin Chamberlain said.

“It’s possible! However, I fear there will be other problems. Is there any conspiracy in this? Arthur Belfort asked.

“Your Excellency, The Prime Minister, whatever the Germanic conspiracy, you just need to know that the Imperial Royal Navy is the most powerful in the world. The Imperial Navy alone had battleships, active and under construction, for a total of fifty ships. Even if the Germans had not stopped building those ten battleships, it would have been less than half of us.

They have stopped building battleships now, and there are only fourteen battleships, let alone rivals of the Empire!

In addition, the Imperial Navy’s research on the next class of battleships has made breakthrough progress. It is expected that construction will begin next year. This would give the Imperial Navy a very powerful battleship. The Imperial Navy will continue to steer the development trend of the world’s navies. In such a situation, other navies are even less able to pose a threat to us.

This is true of both the Germanic Empire and other countries!

In the eyes of the Royal Navy, the world navy is divided into only two, one is the Royal Navy itself, and the other is the navies of other countries! ”

Secretary of the Navy John Fisher had a proud look on his face.

Arthur Belfort nodded.

Indeed, the Imperial Navy, which is now the Sun Never Sets, is the most powerful navy in the world.

The throne of the overlords of the sea, they have been sitting for hundreds of years.

Nor did they think they would lose the throne of the Overlord this time.

“Gentlemen, we are all convinced that the Germanic Empire is the most powerful. The supremacy of the Empire is unbreakable. However, the Empire had to admit that the rise of the Germanic Empire on the European continent had posed no small threat to the Empire. Therefore, from now on, the Empire will strengthen its suppression of the Germanic Empire. Once it is found that they have signs of rising, they must be solved. It is absolutely impossible to let the lessons of the first Gallic Empire happen again! Arthur Belfort ordered.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!” The ministers of the Empire who never set the sun answered one after another.

At first, Napoleon led the rapid rise of the First Gallic Empire, which occupied the entire European continent and became the hegemon here.

Napoleon’s tough stance that he would never allow the commodities of the Empire that never sets on the sun to enter the European continent has caused an extremely heavy blow to the Empire that never sets.

Even with a strong navy, the Empire was able to secure its homeland and blockade the First Gallic Empire through the Navy.

It even joined forces with other European countries to besiege the First Gallic Empire.

But it took more than a decade and a lot of resources and financial resources to solve the First Gallic Empire.

If such a thing were to happen again, the Empire would probably pay a greater price.

This also made the ministers of the Empire of the Rising Sun reluctant to see the Germanic Empire rise and become another First Empire of Gaul.
