The colony of the Spice Islands was very rich and had a large population.
The Kingdom of Holland was only a small third-rate country in Europe.
Whether it was the Empire of the Sun Never Sets, the Gaul Kingdom, or the Germanic Empire, they all coveted the Spice Islands. However, it was precisely because several powerful countries wanted to compete that no one was willing to give way.
This allowed the Kingdom of Holland to travel between several big countries and maintain good relations with them. That was why this rich colony was preserved.
With Liu Chuan's identity, it was not a problem for him to go to the Spice Islands to look for mineral deposits.
However, if the news that this was a huge gold mine worth 20 to 30 billion marks was leaked, the people of Sun Never Sets would probably immediately snatch it.
20 to 30 billion marks, which was more than a billion pounds, was enough to make the people of Sun Never Sets take the risk.
Therefore, Liu Chuan made up his mind. To the outside world, they could only announce that it was a copper mine and not a gold mine.
Although copper ore was also very valuable, it was not as eye-catching as gold ore.
However, the Grasberg Gold Mine was located near the Zaya Peak. It was not easy to find the gold mine there. Even if they found it, they would need a lot of manpower and resources to mine it. They would also need to build a 30-kilometer special railway to transport the ore out. After that, it would be transported back to the Germanic Empire for smelting to extract gold, silver, and copper.
And all of these required a large sum of money.
With Liu Chuan's current capital of more than one million marks, it was simply not enough!
"Looks like I need to find a partner.”Liu Chuan held his chin.
"In the entire Empire, who else is a more suitable partner than William II? Besides, he's the father of this body. He wouldn't go so far as to trick me, right?”Liu Chuan made up his mind.
"Thump! Thump!"
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Liu Chuan opened the door and saw a white-haired old man standing outside.
This was Jonalette, the butler of the royal family. His family had served the Hohensalem family for more than 200 years. Even though he was just a butler, he had the title of a noble.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is waiting for you in his office!”Jonalette said.
"Alright, Grandpa Jonalette. By the way, what has Uncle Charles been doing recently?”Liu Chuan asked.
Charles Jonalette was the son of Jonalette Senior. However, after graduating from university, he did not want to continue being a butler for the Hohensorren family. Therefore, he had been working outside.
However, because he was unable to achieve anything, he had never been able to do anything.
This made old Jonalette very disappointed. At the same time, he could only pin his hopes on his grandson, hoping that his grandson could inherit his career and continue to serve the Hohensauron family.
"Who knows? Last month's letter said he was in Hamburger.”Old Jonalette shook his head helplessly.
Liu Chuan nodded." Can you ask Uncle Charles to come to Bolin?" I have something very important to discuss with him.”
Old Jonalette looked at Liu Chuan suspiciously and nodded.
Liu Chuan met William II in his office.
Because of his physical disability, William II had an extreme personality. He is headstrong and conceited, and does not listen to opinions. However, it was undeniable that he was still an emperor with great talent and strategy.
However, his ambition was too great, and it had far exceeded the national strength of the Germanic Empire.
Therefore, in the end, the empire collapsed and they fled their homeland.
"Imperial Father, why are you looking for me?”Liu Chuan asked.
"Ogyust, you are already sixteen years old. According to the royal tradition, you will have to go to the Army Academy or the Navy Academy. Personally, I'm leaning towards you going to the naval academy. The dynasty was currently developing its navy and needed a large number of naval talents. As a member of the royal family, you need to contribute your strength to the empire and the royal family!”William II had a serious expression.
"Alright, Imperial Father. I personally have no objections.”Liu Chuan replied.
A satisfied smile appeared on William II's face.
"However, Father, we originally planned to travel around the world before going to the naval academy.”Liu Chuan continued.
William II thought about it and said,""Traveling around the world is not bad either. I'll talk to Dean Ludovic Berkenhardt, and you can report a year later.”
The Germanic Empire's naval academy was the best academy in the empire's navy.
It would be very difficult for others to enter the school. They would have to go through many tests.
However, not only could Liu Chuan enter the school easily, but he could even delay his enrollment.
Perhaps this was the privilege of the royal family.
"Father, traveling around the world was just my previous plan. Now, I have a new plan. I learned from some sources. There was a huge gold mine in the New Guinean area of the Dutch Spice Islands colony. I plan to set up a mining company to explore and develop it. I hope father can support me and invest in me. I guarantee that this is definitely a profitable business.”Liu Chuan said impatiently.
