The Rise of German empire

"Your Highness, congratulations. His Majesty the Emperor is very satisfied with your recent performance." In the office of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company, Carl von Jonaret smiled.

"Oh? Did Mr. Jonalet tell you this?" Oscar asked.

"Well, His Majesty the Emperor was very dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince's actions, and specially sent my father to warn His Highness the Crown Prince. According to my father, His Majesty's patience with His Highness the Crown Prince is almost reaching its limit."

Carl wished that Oscar could replace Crown Prince William and become the Crown Prince of the German Empire, the future Emperor of the Empire. This would be of great benefit to him and even the entire Jonalet family. As Oscar's best friend, if Oscar became the emperor of the German Empire, then he could completely walk across the whole of Germany.

"The recent performance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really substandard," Oscar shook his head.

"Hmph! If he wasn't the eldest son, he wouldn't be the crown prince at all. In my opinion, His Highness should be the crown prince," Carl said.

"Carl, don't say such things in the future. Whether His Highness the Crown Prince is qualified to become the Crown Prince of the Empire is not for us to decide." Oscar shook his head. If a man has no ambition, what is the difference between him and a salted fish? And Oscar, of course, didn't want to be a salted fish either. Now that he was reborn into this world, he naturally wanted to make some great achievements. If he could become the emperor of the German Empire, it would undoubtedly be of great help to realize his dream. However, Oscar knew that before he truly possessed this qualification, he had to completely hide his ambition in his heart.

Carl smiled and said nothing more. Regarding Oscar's thoughts, although he was not clear about it, he could more or less guess it. Now Oscar's industry had grown very large. The Deutsche Welfare Lottery had been successful in the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy. In the US market, it had gradually gained a firm foothold. This year, they were developing the markets of Britain, France, and other countries. It could be said that in the lottery industry, welfare lottery companies had become giants.

Deutschland Shipyard had not been established for long, but now it had received a large number of orders from the Navy. This had made Deutsche Shipyard about to become the largest shipyard in Germany.

The newly established Deutsche Engine Manufacturing Company had world-leading technologies in steam turbines and diesel engines. In terms of gasoline engines, it was also at a world-class level. Although the company's performance was not big now, Carl knew that the company's future was immeasurable.

What's more, Carl knew that Oscar was a restless person, and he would start a new company soon.

Oscar, who was so successful in business, would inevitably have new demands in terms of power after accumulating a huge amount of wealth. Carl was almost certain that the reason why Oscar went to great lengths to help the navy develop its military strength was certainly to enhance the military strength of the empire and help the empire win in future wars. But more, Carl suspected it meant taking the opportunity to win over the army and prepare for the future.

Of course, Carl would not tell others about this. He also counted on Oscar becoming the crown prince or even the emperor; his status would rise accordingly! With Oscar's identity, it was impossible for him to personally control these enterprises. At that time, there must be an agent to control these enterprises. And he was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Once Oscar's enterprises were merged into a huge enterprise group, it would inevitably become one of the largest enterprise groups in Germany. Thinking of becoming the helm of a huge business empire, Carl's heart was also burning.

"Carl, do you have any news about the person I asked you to pay attention to?" Oscar asked.

"Your Highness, I have asked people to pay attention to it. There should be news soon. Although Germany lacks oil, it should not be difficult to find corporate talents who manage oil exploration and operations," Carl said.

Oscar nodded. "Well, let's speed up the progress and choose a suitable person. Find a time and register Deutsche Energy Company. Our energy development plan needs to be launched."

"Yes, Your Highness." Carl nodded.

The next day, Carl went to register Deutsche Energy Company, which was mainly engaged in oil exploration, smelting, and sales.

At the same time, Carl asked the headhunters to carefully select several talents in this field and began to accept Oscar's interviews. After some examinations, Oscar selected a young man in his thirties named Moritz. The reason why he was chosen as the general manager of Deutsche Energy Company was that this young man was relatively aggressive and had a deep understanding of the importance of the future of oil. In many respects, he even coincided with Oscar, which made Oscar appreciate him very much.

"Mr. Moritz, the Deutsche Energy Company has just been established, and the recruitment of internal organizations and personnel needs to be carried out. I hope that you can take charge of this work. Is there any problem with the formation of the Deutsche Energy Company within three months?" Oscar asked.

"Your Highness, as long as there are enough funds, this is not a problem!" Moritz was very confident.

"In terms of funds, Mr. Moritz doesn't have to worry at all. Deutsche Welfare Lottery will provide sufficient financial support for Deutsche Energy. The first batch of 10 million marks will be transferred to the company's account soon," Oscar said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Moritz nodded.

"After the establishment of the company, we immediately began to select suitable places to build oil refineries and oil storage facilities on the northern coast. Especially oil storage facilities, we must build as many as possible. It is best to increase our crude oil reserves to two million tons or more," Oscar said.

Two million tons of crude oil was nothing in later generations. But in this day and age, that was certainly a lot. This was especially true when the utility of oil had not yet been fully revealed.

"Your Highness, to whom do we sell so much oil? In this case, the company will suffer losses," Moritz couldn't help reminding.

"I know, Mr. Moritz. However, in many cases, accounts cannot be calculated like this. Most of our crude oil will be used as strategic reserves," Oscar said.

Moritz was the general manager of Deutsche Energy, and he would mainly complete the future oil strategy. Therefore, Oscar did not intend to hide some confidential issues. Of course, it was a matter of German secrets, and if Moritz dared to leak it, he would definitely die without a burial.
