Chapter 2026: Ultimatum

"Mr. Clemenceau, if the French government wants peace talks, you should go to Crown Prince Ruprecht in Brussels, not here to find me. My task is to visit the Netherlands, not to mediate between Germany and France. Relationship." Taft said quietly.

"Mr. Vice President, please believe me, there is absolutely nothing worse in this world than letting Germany control the entire continent of Europe. Europe is the center of the world. Whoever controls Europe controls the world. Germans are insatiable. Today is us, and maybe tomorrow is another country. The German has gained too much from the Russians, and he has grown to an almost unstoppable level. This is the last opportunity, not only for France, but also for the United States. This way." Clemenceau said anxiously.

"Then, what do you want the United States to do? For France and the Germans? The Germans are the saboteurs of the international system. This is true, but the United States is not worried because of the old international system dominated by Britain, France and Russia. It’s time to die long ago! The United States has no respect and benefits in the old international system. We used to want to get along with you, but you trampled on our goodwill! So, I am not at all about the death of the old international order. Don't worry! Even a little happy," Taft said.

"Fortunately, the opportunity to save France still exists, and that is to accept the German ultimatum. Believe me, keeping the French away from Britain is also one of the fundamental interests of the United States. Although the Germans’ methods are somewhat unreasonable, but It works," Taft said.

　　 "We have already considered giving up some of the positions. This is the intelligence we can give up. If the Germans are still willing to fulfill our previous promises, then the French Republic is willing to reconcile." Clemenceau said.

"I have seen this document with the Germans. The Germans' assessment is that they have given up some terrain that is complicated and unsuitable for passage, and they were threatened by the firepower of the flank French army during the advancement. They described it as a Half-closed pockets, waiting for the prey to get in, and then tie the pockets.” Taft said: “The Germans should give you the corresponding tips, do as they say, don’t play tricks, it will treat you and me. not good!"

"But the Germans changed the conditions of the negotiation! Before, they just let us give up the passage, but now, they let us cut off all the passages to the British positions and demand that we destroy some important traffic stations. For us, it is tantamount to ally with the Germans against the British. Although the French Republic does not want to continue fighting, it is unwilling to ally with the Germans! And your country does not want to see this, right? Germany's overpowering and your country Is it a relationship? And if you keep an independent France, your country can have a huge influence in Europe and even North Africa." Clemenceau said.

"The French Republic can form an alliance with the United States. As long as this time, your country helps us tide over this disaster, and you can talk about equal treatment and tariff issues that your country wants in North Africa." Clemenceau is almost close. Begged. The things that the French insisted on not letting go are not a problem now! As long as this time the Americans are willing to give them a hand!

"The United States can see your sincerity, but unfortunately, there are many problems that France cannot help us to solve, but the Germans can. We want to kill the Japanese in the Pacific. I wonder if your country can help. ?" Taft said.

　　 "This... It is possible." After a brief hesitation, Clemenceau decisively agreed, but Taft's sardonic eyes greeted him.

　　 "Your Excellency thinks I'm good to deceive?" Taft said irritably. The current Japan is not the Japan before the First World War. After acquiring a large number of colonies and reaping a lot of benefits from the First World War, its power has greatly expanded. With the strength of the French now, if France does some hostile activities in the Far East , Then the French colonies in Southeast Asia may soon be replaced!

　　 Ruprecht said that during the war, Germany could persuade the Netherlands to provide assistance to the United States and Germany in the Far East. Taft believed this. Because the Germans do have this confidence! Whether in terms of national strength, military strength or record, Germany claims to be the strongest military power in the world, and it is estimated that no one opposes it! But France? Although their performance in the European battlefield is very good, but compared with Germany, they are several grades worse! Want to say that the French can help the Americans in the Far East? Looking at the location of the French colony and the strength of France, Taft really does not believe it, and to be honest, the Chinese are willing to help, and the Japanese did not touch the French, so good, how did the American warships pass through the Japanese fleet? What about the control area?

"Abandon all illusions and face reality. This is your country’s last chance. The German strikes have entered the countdown~www.wuxiaspot.com~ More than 1,500 tanks, assault guns and self-propelled artillery will be used to attack your country. In, if I remember correctly, even if you include the Renault tin car, the number of tanks that your country can use does not exceed 800, right? Does your country really want to sacrifice an entire generation of French for the British? Then let the Germans once again show off their martial arts on the Champs Elysées?"

　　 "Or, now, your country is still expecting the British to give you a hand?" Taft said meaningfully.

"Even if the offensive is launched, the Germans are still willing to open the door to peace. Before the German troops enter the outskirts of Paris, as long as your country is willing to negotiate and clear the obstacles in the area to evacuate according to the requirements of the Germans, then everything is fine. Of course If your country is willing to resist to the end, you can also try it. I would also like to see what is going on in the world’s largest and highest-level battle that is about to erupt. This is of great reference value for us." Futu said comfortably.

"In that case, some things can only be said after they happen." The Americans have said this to this point, and Clemenceau has no need to entangle anymore, and Taft really guessed one sentence. , The French really had a glimmer of hope for the British at the last moment!

Just when Clemenceau and Taft met, the British representatives were discussing the future battle with Foch at the French army headquarters. Although this time the virtue position was very firm, the French also knew the door to the negotiation. They are all open, so they want to prepare with both hands!
