William II did not nod, but instead fixed his gaze intently on Minister Andrew.
What Minister Andrew proposed was precisely what the German Empire was currently implementing, a method that had not been successful so far.
Although Germany had earnestly endeavored to form alliances with the British Empire and the Russian Empire, each of these nations had its own interests. One had always adhered to an isolationist policy, while the other maintained an exceptionally favorable and close economic and political relationship with France. Consequently, Germany's attempts at alliance had consistently failed.
Regardless of success or failure, though, this was a strategy that the German Empire had previously proposed and attempted.
Unless Minister Andrew can provide a satisfactory explanation, even if William II has a fondness for Australia, and even if the relationship between Germany and Australia is currently cordial, it will not tolerate such arbitrary dismissal.
