Germanic Empire: please call me William III

Near Chaya Peak, august mining company cut down trees and built a huge camp large enough to accommodate thousands of people.

At the same time, security personnel are escorting several prospecting experts to investigate and explore the vicinity to find the specific location of the gold mine.

Liu Chuan had been in the dense forest for half a month.

However, there has been no progress at all. This makes many people feel a little discouraged.

Only Liu Chuan is still full of confidence. He believed that there must be a huge gold mine here. It’s just that they’re a little bit unlucky and haven’t found it yet.

However, Liu Chuan’s insistence is completely desperate in the eyes of others, or it is said that he wants to face the guilt of death.

Fortunately, Liu Chuan’s persistence was not in vain.

Three days later, the good news finally came.

“Your Royal Highness, found it, we found it. They found some ore in an area ten kilometers south of Chaya Peak. After testing, there is also a large amount of copper and the associated gold and silver. The grade is very high and has great mining value. This time, we’re rich! Charles Jonalet had a smile on his face.

Just as Liu Chuan needs a chance, he also needs a chance to prove himself.

“Did you really find it?” Liu Chuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Yes, His Royal Highness. Dr. They are measuring reserves. It is expected that further news will come soon. Charles Jonalet said.

“Great, Uncle Charles. The gold mine is located ten kilometers south of Chaya Peak, which is a good thing for us. We only need to build twenty kilometers of railway to get the ore out. The investment in all aspects should also be reduced a lot. The difficulty of mining is also much smaller. Liu Chuan said.

Charles Jonalet nodded repeatedly.

“Uncle Charles, we need to act. As soon as the initial detection report came out, I returned to the Empire itself. Now that we have found the gold mine, I think my father will definitely invest in me. By then, we will have enough money to develop this gold mine. By the way, we can’t let the outside world know that we have found a gold mine, and we have found a copper mine with huge reserves. Although the value of copper ore is not small, it is not so eye-catching compared to gold mines. After all, it was close to the Imperial colonies. However, it is closer to the colony where the sun never sets. The empire’s current strength, especially overseas, is far from being comparable to the sun never falling. Liu Chuan said.

Charles Jonalet naturally knew this: “Your Royal Highness, I know, I will inform the Doctor about them.” ”

“Uncle Charles, after I leave, the work here will be entrusted to you.” Whether it is mining or road construction, it requires a large amount of labor. It would be very uneconomical to recruit labor from the mainland, and the living conditions here are too harsh. We are destined to be able to send managers only from home. Ordinary miners and road builders can only be recruited from the local area. Liu Chuan said.

“Recruiting from local? Your Royal Highness, most of the natives here are uncivilized savages. Charles Jonalet frowned.

“Even savages, threatened by bayonets and rifles, will learn to mine and build roads.” There are a lot of natives here, so let our security personnel directly attack those indigenous tribes, capture labor to mine and build roads. There is no need to be too merciful to these natives. They, after all, are just barbarians! Liu Chuan said.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.” Charles Jonalet had no opinion on this.

Two days later, the prospectors submitted an exploration report. According to estimates, it belongs to gold, silver and copper mines, mainly copper mines, and gold and silver belong to the associated mines of copper mines, with great reserves.

Originally, the prospectors’ estimates were somewhat conservative, believing that there were only tens of millions of tons of copper, thousands of tons of gold, and only a few thousand tons of silver.

However, at Liu Chuan’s request, they increased this value several times.

Although, this is suspected of being fraudulent. But Liu Chuan did this only to be able to better persuade William II.

What’s more, Liu Chuan is not nonsense, what he says is true. However, with the current technical conditions, it is not possible to accurately estimate the copper, gold and silver mines here in a short period of time.

With this report, Liu Chuan left here by boat.

However, instead of traveling to Batavia, he went to the germanic Empire’s overseas colony in the northeastern part of the island of New Guinea, the Lands of Emperor Wilhelm. Prepare to return home to the germanic warships there.

Warships can be faster and safer than merchant ships. In this way, he may also be able to return to the Empire before Christmas.
