The meeting of the German Parliament means nothing can be kept secret. At least Britain and France, among other countries, are already aware that there is a force within Germany eyeing their overseas colonies with inappropriate ambitions.
As Bismarck said, the current German government cannot afford to waste efforts on those worthless lands, which are mainly the islands in Africa and the Pacific region. The good places, including India, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean coast, the Middle East, North Africa, and Australia, are all under the control of Britain and France.
Latin America is rather unique. Now considered an independent continent, it is not anyone's colony but at most a semi-economic colony of Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and the United States.
