"Oskar, German Welfare Lottery Company suffered heavy losses this time?" Wilhelm II asked with concern.
In response to the seizure of German Welfare Lottery Company's business in the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia, Wilhelm II even held a special discussion with Imperial Council.
Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, the First Sea Lord, even more worried. Oscar provides a low-interest loan of 100 million Mark to the Navy every year. If German Welfare Lottery Company's profits were affected by the lottery, would support for the Navy be reduced? This is a big event for the development of the navy.
"Father Emperor, the loss is indeed very large. The direct loss is more than 100 million Mark. Not to mention, after losing the market in these three countries, our profit loss will be more than one-third." Oscar's face is not very good-looking.
The development of Oscar has always been smooth, with almost no major setbacks. But now, the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia directly used national administrative orders to give him a major blow.
"Damn it! The three powers of Britain, France, and Russia's government is really abominable. By doing this, they are destroying the market economy and free competition!" Wilhelm II was furious.
Other Empire* senior military and political officials also had angry faces.
"Your Majesty, we must protest to the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia about this matter, we can't just let it go." Foreign Minister von Kidron Wachth said. The civil servant faction has now turned to Oscar. Oscar's interests have been harmed, which means that their interests have also been endangered.
"Protesting is probably useless. Since the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia dares to do this, they must have anticipated our reaction. They will definitely find various reasons to stall us. Anyway, our relationship with them has already It is very clear that the war is about to break out. Under such circumstances, the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia naturally does not need to be afraid of breaking up with us," Prime Minister Bernhardt von Bülow said.
"Is this all?" Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, the First Sea Lord asked.
Suddenly, there was silence in the office. Indeed, the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia was slapping Germany in the face, making them very angry. However, apart from a few words of protest, there is nothing they can do about the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia! Unless it's a direct war. But it is a pity that the current Germany is not ready for war at all. If a war breaks out, they have little chance of winning. Therefore, we cannot take such risks.
"Your Excellency, German Industrial Group's support for the navy will not be affected by this. Although we have lost a large part of our profits, the needs of the navy will be guaranteed first." Oscar said.
Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz was relieved at this. What he was most afraid of was that the navy's shipbuilding plan would be affected by this.
"However, since the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia dares to do this blatantly, we can never let it go like this. Father Emperor, I request that after defeating the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia in the future strike war, German Welfare Lottery Company's losses will be doubled!" A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Oscar's eyes.
Oscar has never been a good man or woman who repays evil with kindness. His own interests were harmed, how could he remain indifferent? However, there is no way to escape to justice now, he can only swallow this breath first. Wait until the time is right to take revenge. As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge! Oscar is certainly not a gentleman, but he still has the patience to wait for several years.
"Well, Oskar, it's best if you think like this. Let's remember the losses the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia caused us this time. After we defeat them in future wars, we will let Britain, France, and Russia pay the price. Since now German Welfare Lottery Company has lost hundreds of millions of Mark. Then, after the war, we will ask the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia to compensate German Welfare Lottery Company one billion Mark." Wilhelm II said.
"Yes, we must punish them severely!" Other ministers also said one after another.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, in the future war, Germany needs to win the war. Otherwise, everything is empty talk.
The next day, German government protested against the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia's seizure of German Welfare Lottery Company. As expected, the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia all started to prevaricate. Not only did they seal up the business of German Welfare Lottery Company, they also established their own Welfare Lottery Company and took over this business. It can be seen that the governments of these three countries have been planning for this for a long time.
The loss of the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia's market will certainly cause German Welfare Lottery Company's profits to suffer heavy losses. But the bad news doesn't end there. News came from the United States branch that US government seems to be interested in taking action on the market of German Welfare Lottery Company.
The United States market is also a huge market for German Welfare Lottery Company. In fact, the profits obtained from United States have exceeded the profits obtained from the local market. If after losing the market of the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia, the market of United States is then lost, this will be a heavy blow to German Welfare Lottery Company.
"Your Highness, the information we got is that the Britain people are fanning the flames. They are inciting those who are jealous of our profits and want to drive us out of the United States market." Karl? Feng? Jonath looked very ugly.
"Britain's move is really vicious!" Oscar couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Karl asked.
Oscar thought about it for a while, Americans has always been profitable. As long as there is profit, they will do anything. Therefore, we can only think of ways from this aspect.
"Karl, inform our partners at United States that starting from next month, we will adjust the profit distribution. Originally, we accounted for 60% of the profits. Now, we are willing to give up 20% of the profits. In addition, they will also be responsible for arranging the 20% of the profits used for welfare!" Oscar said.
"Your Highness, are you giving up so much profit? If the profits used for welfare are also given to them, they will definitely swallow them all. Those guys are very greedy and have no bottom line at all." Karl said with a frown.
"We can't control that much anymore. Being able to keep 40% of the profit is also a major victory for us. This is better than losing everything and not getting any profit at all!"
Although he was very reluctant, Karl still nodded. He knew that Oscar was right to do so.
