Chapter 2021: Talking with Americans
(Page 1/1)
"If the British are willing to surrender and your country still requires us to start a decisive battle against the Royal Navy, I will think about your country’s starting point, whether to devour the tigers and let Germany and Britain hurt both? Any other ideas? The war is for profit, not for mere killing." Ruprecht said.
"Can you use revenge to explain the original intention of the United States? For the United States naval officers and marines who died in the Philippine naval battle!" Taft said.
"Then why, when we fought **** battles with the Allies, your country did not participate? Then why are there still ships from your country that transport supplies for the British? This reason does not hold." Ruprecht shakes Shook his head and said.
"This is just a business activity." Taft frowned and said, "In this war, we are firmly on your side. Does this still explain the problem?"
"This risk is too great for the Empire. Each capital ship costs more than £2.5 million. What is more precious is the officers and soldiers above. The officers and soldiers in each key position have served for at least 6 years. They are the Imperial Navy. The most precious wealth is the future of the Imperial Navy! I can't let them just become the victims of politics or some kind of conspiracy." Ruprecht said.
"Well, it seems that this problem is difficult to deal with. Let's change our mind! I always think that everything in the world is the exchange of benefits! There is no such thing as loyalty in this world, just because the benefits of betrayal are not high enough, and it is not difficult. It’s just that the rewards are not rich enough! Let us treat this as a business, we made a request, and you ask for a price!” Taft took three minutes to meditate, and finally what he said surprised everyone! This is equivalent to tearing off the last skin on both sides! The so-called friendship and warmth are no longer there, only the purest exchange of interests is left!
"His Royal Highness, you have to think about it. The decision you make will directly affect the future economic situation of Bavaria and the whole of Germany. The German military is now unprecedentedly strong, but there is not enough money in your pocket! In this world, it is not. Only the sword is the decisive power! So is money!" Taft said coldly!
"I repeat, on the premise that the British meet our conditions, severely injuring the British fleet is just a bonus problem. For the empire, such a choice is optional. If you think it can be done with money All in all, then you can try how much money can make the Japanese spit out the Dutch East Indies!" Ruprecht retorted.
"His Royal Highness, Mr. Taft's words are a bit fierce and may be a bit wrong here, but we still have to see a problem, that is, if the large fleet still exists, then it is undoubtedly a problem for our two countries. Very troublesome thing. After your country’s elite fleet entered the Pacific, a huge fleet was blocked at the gate of your country. This threat is too great. If your country wants to enter the ocean, it will not be able to avoid the big fleet after all, so Severe damage to your opponent during the war is also very beneficial to the future development of your country, and have you not brought the High Seas Fleet to severely damage your opponent several times before?" General Benson jumped out to make a round.
"I understand your country’s concerns. We also know this issue. We will consider this issue if the conditions are right, but if we want to force us to do something, then it’s impossible. Empire High Seas The fleet is not a mercenary. You don't pay for this kind of thing. We will definitely do it." Ruprecht said.
"If I remember correctly, your country has extra rewards for pilots. It seems that an enemy fighter will be awarded 6000 marks, which is about 300 pounds, right?" Taft asked.
"That's it." Ruprecht said calmly.
"That’s good, then, for every British Dreadnought or Super Dreadnought battleship that your country sinks, we can pay you 10 million U.S. dollars, about 4 million pounds before the war! And if you lose a battleship, we You can also cover the compensation, which is also 10 million U.S. dollars! In the decisive battle with the British Navy's fleet, we will give a compensation of 2,000 U.S. dollars to every German naval officer who died! As for the sunk light cruisers and destroyers, there will be corresponding quotes , What do you think?" Taft said.
"Hold the grass, you can do whatever you want with money!" Prince Albert was really shocked! It turns out that Americans can still play like this? It is necessary to know that the 4 million pounds before the war is quite valuable. The normal construction cost of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship is only 2.5 million pounds. The so-called 3 million pounds subsequent battleship cost in history has soared up after a combination of currency depreciation and rush to work. But now, as the pound, mark, and franc depreciated because of the war, the value of the dollar is even higher. If Ruprecht can replicate the pomp of the Battle of the Dorger Sandbars, then the Germans can make at least 100 million U.S. dollars. In this case, it is impossible to say nothing about it!
"The price is lower~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ruprecht said coldly. "If I am not mistaken, your country's so-called payment of 10 million US dollars should be paid by debt relief. And if I remember correctly, these debts were caused by the empire’s purchase of goods from your country, and the price of purchasing these goods was originally inflated. Considering the customs tariff issue, we actually took 10 US dollars. I bought something for around $7. Of course, I still appreciate your country’s support during the war. "
"But you have a sentence that is very clear. We can treat this negotiation as a transaction. Since it is a transaction, then we should follow the principle of fairness and voluntariness. You can make a price, and we can bargain. You can send out a bid, we You can also refuse. Don't you think? Mr. Taft?" Ruprecht said.
It is true that virtue is an alliance in war, but there are many small tricks on both sides. Especially in the past, in the case of American advantages, Americans have done many things like buying German assets around the world at lower prices and raising prices in exchange for excess profits. In this so-called "bounty" payment method, the previous arrears are also offset. And the previous debt? As the prince said, the materials obtained for this 10 million US dollars are actually very watery. And now, when the whole situation is gradually changing and Germany is beginning to dominate, in line with the principle that you can do the first year of junior high school and I can do the fifteenth. It's time for the Germans to grab a hand!
