Germanic Empire: please call me William III

March 1712 AD, Dutch Spice Islands Colony, Batavia, Governor’s Palace.
Alexander Frederick, the current governor of the Dutch Spice Islands colony, was blue in the face and looked like he was going to eat people.
“Paul, are you sure that the Glasberg copper mine mined by the Germans is a gold copper mine?” And is it still a huge reserve of gold and copper? Governor Alexander Frederick asked.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Governor, according to the information we have received, we have been deceived by the Germans all these years. They were constantly mining large quantities of gold, silver and copper from the Glasberg Gold and Copper Mine and shipping them back to the Germanic Empire itself. They are like thieves, stealing our wealth! Paul replied.
Paul was the administrator of the colony, second in command to Governor Alexander Frederick in the entire colony.
“Damn! The cunning Germans, they are thieves, they are stealing our wealth! Governor Alexander Frederick was furious.
As the governor of the colony, it was not the Germanic Empire that mined the gold mine, but the Dutch kingdom that mined the gold mine. Well, he doesn’t know how much wealth he can get out of it.
“Your Excellency, Governor, are we going to forcibly take over the gold mines?” Paul asked.
Governor Alexander Frederick thought for a moment, then shook his head: “The Germans deployed a whole two thousand men of mine guards in the gold mines, all said to be recruited veterans, and their weapons and equipment were exactly the same as those of the regular army. If we rush to launch an offensive, it is impossible to succeed. What’s more, the Germans also deployed a certain army in The Territory of Emperor Wilhelm, ready to reinforce the gold mines. Even if we put all our garrisons in there, we may not be able to win! ”
The Lotus Blue Kingdom only had more than 10,000 regular troops in the entire Spice Islands colony, and it was simply too much for the army to defend as much as 1.9 million square kilometers of land.
If not for the fact that the natives of the entire Spice Islands had been completely tamed by them. Well, it is simply impossible for the Hollands to ensure rule here.
“Assemble the army first and get ready, and at the same time report to the country that we need reinforcements at home. It would have been much easier if another infantry division had been mobilized domestically to reinforce us. Governor Alexander Frederick said.
Paul nodded, “It is true that we need to get domestic support so that we can better deal with these problems!” ”
“By the way, Paul, where did you get this news?” Governor Alexander Frederick asked.
“It was revealed to me by the sun never set!” Paul answered honestly.
“The sun doesn’t set? Damn the sun doesn’t set, do they want us to clash with the Germanic Empire? Governor Alexander Frederick cursed involuntarily.
“The Germanic people are really not good things. 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 question.
Subsequently, Governor Alexander Frederick sent a telegram to the country.
And this also immediately caused an uproar in the upper echelons of the Lotus Blue Kingdom.
Johannes, the Colonial Minister of the Dutch Kingdom, was even more furious, and he was the last Governor of the Dutch Spice Islands. During his tenure, he was also suspicious that the Germanic Empire was mining gold in the Spice Islands. However, the Germanic Empire did a good job of secrecy, and he never had the evidence, and in the end he could only fail to do so.
“O God! Did the damn Germans play us like fools? They are stealing our gold. Over the years, the Germans did not know how much gold they had stolen from the Spice Islands, they were thieves! “Johannes was furious.
“According to the sun never set, the reason why the Germanic Empire was able to vigorously develop the navy and army and vigorously carry out the construction of transportation facilities was entirely because of the large amount of gold obtained from the Spice Islands.” Chancellor of the Exchequer Clarian said.
Prime Minister Simscock’s face was very ugly.
He was also very dissatisfied with this behavior of the Germanic Empire. After all, those riches originally belonged to the Lotus Blue Kingdom!
Because the Lotus Blue Kingdom had mastered the rich colony of the Spice Islands and was a small country with a population of only a few million, the national treatment was also very good in the case of financial advantages. But who thinks they have too much money? The Germanic Empire was completely using the money of the Dutch Kingdom to develop itself! He also turned the Lotus Blue Kingdom around, which naturally made the Lotus Blue Kingdom unacceptable.
“Your Majesty, we must 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 they have mined from the gold mines!” Simscock said.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, do you think this is possible?” How could the Germanic Empire return the gold mines to us. Besides, we issued mining licenses to the Emperor of the Germanic Empire. Queen William Minne, king of the Kingdom of Holland, said.
The Germanic Empire mined large amounts of gold from the Dutch Spice Islands, much to the chagrin of Queen Wilhelmina. However, she knew that the Germanic Empire could never bow its head on this issue, and it was absolutely impossible to return the gold. Even if the Dutch Kingdom wanted to reclaim the gold mines, the Germanic Empire would turn its swords against the Dutch Kingdom.
The Lotus Blue Kingdom was only a small country with a population of more than six million, and its national strength was weak, and it could only move between several large countries. Only in this way can their interests be ensured. Otherwise, if it offended the Germanic Empire and angered the Germanic Empire. Well, the trouble is big.
This also made the high-ranking people of the Lotus Blue Kingdom look solemn.
“Is that all there is to it?” Were we allowed to allow the Germans to steal our gold? Johannes was very dissatisfied.
“Alas! The gold of the Spice Islands, while important, is also very tempting. However, the key is whether we have the ability to get that gold mine, whether we can hold it. If you want to risk a confrontation with the Germanic Empire, or even a conflict or even a war with the Germanic Empire, it is not worth it! “Queen Wilhelmina is undoubtedly very wise.
