Chapter 2011: Wrong judgment
(Page 1/1)
So, so far, the British have made a mistake in the navy, that is, they don’t know anything about the aircraft carrier squadron of the High Seas Fleet! After all, this fleet is permanently stationed in the Baltic Sea, and even often moves in the port area of the former Russians. The British can't reach so long!
So it was said that after the formation of the two logical chains of land and sea, the British determined their maritime safety. After the Germans on land would take French operations, the psychological pressure on the British was already very small. And at this time, let's look at the results of the previous peace talks between Ruprecht and the British! The Germans stopped bombing most parts of London, England. Although it was an exchange of interests, it was a good move in the eyes of the British. Although the Germans claimed that the British should give more blood, the British saw it. It's more practical!
Now, in Asquith’s view, the Germans have given up their attempt to completely defeat Britain militarily, and they have also taken good actions. The prince’s words must be good enough to stop the war. This A little Asquis believes. Therefore, this time, most of the Germans asking for remuneration have to let the French out...
As for, the Germans want more benefits from the British? The United Kingdom cannot be considered. If Sudan is not enough, Kenya and Uganda can also give it! Especially Kenya, which happened to be with German East Africa. As for the British Southern Africa that Ruprecht wants? In Asquith's view, this is a wild asking price, and according to the principle of negotiation, at this time, the British can sit down and pay back! After all, in the eyes of the British, the Germans have given up the idea of a complete military victory, so if the final reaction to the negotiating table, then the requirements will not be very high.
Of course, this time I am afraid that the French will suffer. God knows what benefits the Germans will get from the French this time! Is it the entire west coast of Africa? Or Algiers? Or is the French in Mali, Central Africa and other places in central Africa? Forget it, this question is not clear, anyway, it has nothing to do with the British! Of course, from a moral point of view, the British will definitely support the French! But that's it!
However, while the British breathed a sigh of relief because of the misjudgment, American President Roosevelt also misjudged the situation in Washington on the other side of the ocean. No way, the things Crown Prince Ruprecht did were really in place. Except for a few core personnel, no one knew the true purpose of the Crown Prince. At this time, when the Americans discovered that their abacus and the Germans' ideas were not in line at all, the American chief was also anxious. After communication between the two parties, Earl Hogner of the Bavarian Embassy in the United States, as the Bavarian special envoy, personally went to the White House and Theodore Roosevelt exchanged views on matters of mutual concern.
(Yes, you read that right. Historically, Bavaria had embassies or consulates in certain countries. This is called political correctness in Germany...)
"Mr. Earl, I invite your Excellency here today to express the US government’s concern about the situation in Europe. Judging from the current situation, Germany’s behavior has completely deviated from our original plan, if I remember correctly. , Our core is to suppress the United Kingdom, rather than focus the main army on the French, and then enter Paris again. The consequences of this are very serious. As the culprit, the British escaped punishment, and the hatred between your country and France will Continue to continue." Roosevelt said.
"Especially recently, your country has negotiated with the British and even reached some agreements. This makes the United States of America feel betrayed. Shouldn't you explain this question?" Roosevelt said in his words. There is a trace of anger.
"We once gave the French a chance. When Crown Prince Ruprecht met with the French representative, we made it very clear that this time Germany can guarantee that the border between France and Germany remains unchanged, and there will not be too many in Africa. The territorial requirements of the United States, even we can not compensate, as long as the interest-free loan is used as compensation. You must know that the two sides have been fighting for more than 2 years, and the number of German soldiers killed and injured under French guns has exceeded 1 million. We can occupy Making such a proposal under the absolute advantage is enough to show our sincerity! What we have to do is to make the French and the British draw a clear line. You said, our request is excessive? "Earl Hogner is right. Said.
"Actually, if the French are left alone, they might be more acceptable." Roosevelt said.
"This is simply not possible. With regard to the treatment of the British, Prince Ruprecht has exactly the same idea as your country. We must cut off the possibility of another alliance between Britain and France. You never want to see it not long after the end of the war. , Britain and France stand together again? If that is the case, what is the significance of this catastrophic war?"
"We must indirectly stain the hands of the French with the blood of the British army~www.wuxiaspot.com~Only in this way can we let France go, otherwise, for the sake of the safety of the empire, we would rather destroy France completely! We did not let France The people and the British are facing each other with swords and soldiers, just want them to make a way!"
"Moreover, your Excellency should have some understanding of the military. We did this for not only political purposes, but also military purposes. You should have read all the reports given to you by General Pershing, right? You should be aware of the situation on the Western Front. A general understanding, right?" Hogner said as he turned.
To be honest, Theodore Roosevelt really did a bit of research on the military. Let’s not talk about the history of the Spanish-American War, he was the Navy Deputy Commander. After the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt also participated in the land war in Cuba, although The level is not necessarily high, but the basic military literacy is still there. Therefore, when Ruprecht made a strategy for Earl Hogner, in addition to politics, some military matters could also be involved.
"If you want to eliminate the enemy's heavy forces to the greatest extent, then the best way is to encircle and annihilate it, just like when we wiped out millions of Russia in Poland in one fell swoop. However, under normal circumstances, we are in the West. It is impossible for the British to fight a war of encirclement and annihilation similar to the Eastern Front. This is not only because the defense on the Western Front has been repaired for 2 years. It is not easy to break through. More importantly, the British have too many options to avoid the heavy forces. Surrounded!" Hogner said.
