Germanic Empire: please call me William III

The relationship between the Lotus Kingdom and the Germanic Empire was still very good, and in another time and space, after the collapse of the Germanic Empire, William II and the members of the royal family fled to the Lotus Blue Kingdom, where they were sheltered and survived until the end.
But unfortunately, in this time and space, everything is different.
Under the provocation and persecution of the sun never sets, the Dutch kingdom and the Germanic empire will inevitably lead to conflict, and even war.
The Foreign Minister of the Dutch Kingdom visited and the head of the Germanic Empire, Bylo, personally met to highlight the friendship and harmony between the two countries.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I have been ordered to come to Bailin this time, just for one thing. There were many loopholes in the mining license that the Kingdom had signed to His Majesty the Emperor of your country. So, we want to be able to revoke this permit and reclaim the mine. Louis said.
The head of the Germanic Empire, Biluo’s brow suddenly frowned, and his face became very ugly.
Not to mention the gold mine, even if it is an ordinary copper mine, the Dutch Blue Kingdom’s practice is harming the relationship between the two countries!
After all, when August was a prince, he obtained a mining license from the Kingdom of Holland. And now, Auguste was already the emperor of the Germanic Empire, but the Hollanders wanted to revoke the license and take back the mines.
What’s more, that mine is still a huge gold mine!
As Prime Minister of the Empire, Bilod certainly knew how much the Germanic Empire could get from the mines each year.
In the first few years, because the mining efforts were not large, the Germanic Empire was only able to obtain more than a billion Imperial Marks from the mines every year. With the continuous increase of mining efforts in recent years, the annual income of the Germanic Empire from the mines has also been growing. Now, the annual revenue from the mine has exceeded two billion Imperial Marks.
And, at this rate, the mine could be mined for another decade or so.
This was undoubtedly a great fortune for the Germanic Empire!
You know, these gains are distributed equally between the emperor himself, the royal family, the cabinet, the army and the navy.
It is precisely because of the support of such a large amount of wealth that the Germanic Empire was able to develop its armaments like crazy, vigorously promote the national strategic reserves, vigorously develop transportation and economy, and improve people’s livelihood.
The current annual revenue of the Germanic Empire is only 1.66 billion Imperial Marks.
The proceeds from the gold mines alone were already higher than the annual revenues of the Germanic Empire.
Under such circumstances, how could the Germanic Empire abandon this gold mine!
If it is abandoned, the development and war readiness of the Germanic Empire will undoubtedly be greatly affected.
In addition, Shou bilo was also a smart man, and the German empire had been mining the Glasberg gold mine for so many years, and the Dutch could not have gotten any news. However, the Hollanders did not take it back early and did not take it back late, but at this time, it was completely deliberately aimed at the Germanic Empire!
“Your Excellency, the Foreign Minister, the mining licence was issued by you, and by His Majesty the Emperor, who was still a prince. Originally, this mining license would have been a testament to the friendly relations between our two countries. But what you are doing now is undoubtedly undermining the friendly relations between our two countries! Did the Lotus Blue Kingdom really think it through? Do you know the consequences of doing so? Bilo said coldly, and there was a hint of threat in his tone.
Louis naturally heard What Billot meant, but there was nothing he could do in the lotus blue kingdom now!
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am not going around in circles with you anymore. The Grasberg copper mine is actually a gold mine, right? Louis asked.
Billot wanted to deny it, but Louis spoke again.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you need not deny that we already have definite evidence. However, we did not think to take back the gold mine. The gold mine was naturally found by the emperor of your country, and that was his. Although the gold mine is tempting. But we are self-aware. Louis continued.
“So why are you making this request now?” Billot asked.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there is nothing we can do about it. The Empire of the Rising Sun has officially sent us a note demanding that we take back the gold mine. Otherwise, they’re going to attack us. They will join forces with the Gauls to divide up our Spice Islands colony. And how important this colony is to us, I am afraid that I do not need to say, but your excellency also understands it very well. Louis said.
“Therefore, you have chosen to obey the arrangement of the sun never sets. Or, pushing the boat along the water, not only recovering the gold mine, but also being able to get the support of the people who never set! Billot sneered.
Louis did not refute it, everyone is a smart person, naturally it is very clear what this means.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this in the interest of the country.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Holland does not want to be an enemy of the Germanic Empire, but we have no choice. Therefore, we hope that the Germanic Empire will be able to return the gold mines to us. In this way, it will not damage the relationship between our two countries. Louis continued.
Bilo smiled, then shook his head: “Your Excellency, The Foreign Minister, from the moment your country decided to side with the sun never set, the relationship between our two countries has been damaged. However, after all, the gold mine belongs to His Majesty the Emperor, and I will report your request to His Majesty the Emperor. As for whether His Majesty the Emperor will agree or not, it is not for me to decide. However, I can tell you responsibly that His Majesty the Emperor will never accept coercion, and he will never agree to the return of the gold mine! ”
Louis nodded, and he could understand: “Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I know what you mean. It seems that there is no need for me to stay here any longer, so I will resign. ”
Prime Minister Bilo did not say much more.
From now on, the friendly relations between the Germanic Empire and the Dutch Kingdom have come to an abrupt end. The two of them are about to become enemies.
After Louis left, Shougbylo immediately went to the palace and told Auguste about it. At the same time, other cabinet and military leaders were informed.
This was undoubtedly a very urgent matter for the Germanic Empire, and it required the top echelons of the Empire to reach an agreement as soon as possible and come up with a solution.
