Deutsche Welfare Lottery’s business in the United States will naturally require the support of local forces in the United States. Previously, according to the agreement between the two parties, 20% of the profits obtained by the Deutsche Welfare Lottery in the United States were used for social welfare undertakings, 20% were distributed by the local forces in the United States, and the other 60% belonged to Germany. Owned by the Welfare Lottery Company.
Such a distribution plan naturally made the American local forces very dissatisfied. However, the Deutsche Welfare Lottery at that time developed rapidly and had extremely strong profitability. In addition, Qin Tian, the owner of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company, has a distinguished status. Therefore, the local forces in the United States reluctantly accepted such a distribution plan.
But now, Britain, France and Russia have begun to block the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company. This makes the situation of Deutsche Welfare Lottery in the United States very difficult. If it is not handled well, the American branch of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company may be shut down like the branches in Britain, France and Russia.
Of course, the US government is unwilling to offend the German government. But with Britain, France and Russia at the forefront, they naturally have nothing to fear. Similarly, Germany did not dare to force the United States to the side of the Allies. Germany was under enough pressure to counter the Allies. If the United States is added, Germany may have no chance of winning.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Tian would rather lose part of his profits than worsen the situation. Even if it can get 40% of the profit, this is not a small amount of income for the German Welfare Lottery Company. Once the American branch of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company is also shut down, it will be even worse.
The local strength of the United States is very satisfied with the compromise of the German Welfare Lottery Company. To be able to share an extra 20% of the profit is already double what it was before. What's more, the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company agreed to hand over the profits used for social welfare undertakings to them, which means that their profits will further increase. As for welfare, all you need is to use a little money to fool the poor. Anyway, America is a world where money comes first. The poor have no power at all.
This also made the British instigation in the United States useless. The American branch of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery has weathered the storm for the time being. Although some benefits were lost, they were preserved.
Qin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. During this period of time, he has been under tremendous pressure. Fortunately, it was finally over for the time being.
"The British, the French, the Russians, and the Americans who took advantage of the fire. You wait for me. My money is not so easy to take. When Germany wins the future world war, I will let you swallow it I spit out everything that goes down!" Qin Tian thought viciously.
Time passed little by little, and the naval arms race among the world's major powers gradually began to escalate. The British Navy's shipbuilding program began to accelerate. A large number of warships began to be built. They tried to secure their naval superiority as much as possible.
The United States has also joined the arms race. The rich and powerful Americans, except for lagging behind Europe in terms of technology, are not bad at all in other aspects. The unique geographical location and strong industrial strength allow them to devote most of their energy to the development of the navy with confidence and boldness, and easily build a powerful navy that is the third largest in the world.
As for Germany, it is carrying out its own shipbuilding plan in an orderly manner. The "King-class" battleship and the "Derfflinger-class" battlecruiser are being built according to plan. The next-level "Bavaria-class" battleships and "Mackenson-class" battlecruisers are already in the blueprints designed by Qin Tian. Construction was to begin in 1911. In this case, when the future war breaks out, the two battleships will be able to catch up.
Time entered 1911, and in February, Qin Tian's eldest son was born. After two lifetimes, he finally became a father. As soon as this little guy was born, he enjoyed endless glory. Although he already had many grandsons, William II still loved Qin Tian's eldest son very much, so he named him Friedrich directly, and he was canonized as Prince of East Prussia, with a respected status!
As time goes by, the international situation has become more and more tense. The contradictions between the Allies and the Allied Powers are also intensifying little by little. Everyone seemed to be able to hear the footsteps of the war getting closer, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
On May 21, 1911, a tribal uprising against the Sultan broke out in Morocco. The French took the opportunity to send troops to occupy Fes, the capital of Morocco. You know, this is definitely a serious provocation for Germany.
Six years ago, a crisis broke out in Morocco. For this reason, France and Germany almost broke out in war. In the end, a meeting was held in Algeciras and the "Algeciras Resolution" was reached. The resolution recognized Morocco's independence, but France and Spain were responsible for Morocco's police affairs. France controls customs and police in Morocco. Germany's interests were also required to be guaranteed.
But now, the French actually directly sent troops to occupy the capital of Morocco, which simply violated the original agreement. For Germany, this is undoubtedly intolerable. William II, in particular, could not bear this.
"The French are so hateful! They are blatantly breaking the agreement. This time, the German Empire must never back down!" William II yelled in his palace.
When the Moroccan crisis broke out last time, William II chose to compromise and retreat due to the interests of Britain and France, which dealt a serious blow to his prestige in Germany. This time, he will never make the same mistake again.
"The safety of the lives and properties of the empire's merchants and expatriates in Morocco, as well as the interests of the empire, must not be violated. Tirpitz, send a warship to Morocco!" William II ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Earl Tirpitz nodded immediately.
Although, everyone knows, this will undoubtedly stimulate the development of the situation. However, Germany obviously couldn't bear it any longer. Letting the Allies see Germany's attitude is also a warning to them.
Qin Tian also agrees with this.
