Chapter 2146: The post-war world

The meeting finally ended in a friendly and hopeful atmosphere. Ruprecht, Grand Duke Baden, Barth and others discussed the roles of the three parties in the negotiation, and at the same time formulated a rough negotiation framework. All parties have compromised and cooperated. It can be said that this is a meeting of unity, a meeting of victory. However, it is definitely not a complete meeting. It only points out the direction for the future armistice agreement, but does not finalize the most important things. After all, the war is not over yet, it is at the critical stage of closing!

　　And now, as the most important level in the German political system and the actual top leader of the German military power, there are some issues that require Ruprecht to think and make his own decisions.

"If Prime Minister Bismarck is still alive, I still have a partner who can discuss with me, but now I can only rely on myself." In his office, Ruprecht looked at the large-scale map of the North Sea on the wall He couldn't help but sighed, fully comprehending the feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold and not being understood by outsiders. Now Germany has won the military, and the war has been won, but the end of this war is just the beginning of the next game, and when it ends, it is also the layout of the future strategy!

　　 Really think that after World War I, the world will be peaceful? Well, after the end of World War I in history, we can say that everyone's confrontation has temporarily come to an end. But this plane? In fact, the end of World War I only resolved about 70% of the military conflicts in the world! The United States and Japan are still gearing up! And war means not only killing, but also wealth!

　　 Yes, you read it right, it means wealth. Think about the rich and rich US and Japan after the end of the First World War in history, and you will understand the meaning of this sentence! Aside from the American Emperor, this is a bug. Let’s talk about Japan in history. After World War I, Japan changed from a debtor country to a creditor country. Industrial production capacity has increased by more than 4 times, and actual industrial output has increased by 1.8 times! With the increase in maritime transportation demand, Japan's maritime transportation capacity is also rapidly expanding. In 1914, Japan owned 2,331 steamships with a gross tonnage of 1.85 million tons. By the end of 1918, the number of ships surged to 2,865, with a total tonnage of 2.48 million tons! The shipbuilding industry increased from 52,000 tons per year to 420,000 tons per year in 1918! Leap from sixth in the world to third in the world! The number of slipway has increased from 20 to 157!

　　Think about the terrifying plan of the eight or eight fleet in Japan after the war! Take a look at the super warships named Yamashiro, Tosa, Kii, and Owari that use 16-inch artillery and have a tonnage of more than 40,000 tons. You will understand how rich the Japanese government was at that time. If the British G3 and N3 are ultimately not If it’s staying on the blueprint and not finally realized, then these warships that have been on the berth but were sunk by the treaty are really possible in this world. Of course, some of these warships were finally reborn as aircraft carriers...

　　 And on this plane, Japan is even more powerful. First of all, the foundation before the war was better than in history. You know, on this plane, Japan has occupied the Philippines since 1898! It has been in business for 15 years now! Whether it is economy or resources, Japan is stronger than in history, and more importantly, during the war, Japan also ate up half of the Dutch East Indies! Although it is too late to do a thorough digestion, the funds, wealth and resources obtained are all real! Although the United States is strong, it does not have a reliable forward base! In addition, the Americans are not particularly strong will, and Germany has its own plans, so this war is very mysterious!

　　 Japan can make a lot of money during the European War, so by the same token, when the Pacific Ocean opens after World War I, then European countries can also use this war to make a lot of money! In this way, some countries can also take the opportunity to regain their vitality. This is the case in Germany, and the same is true in Britain and France! Well, will Ruprecht prevent Britain and France from recovering? The crown prince has the ability to stop, but how to do it depends on the actual situation! In some cases, Ruprecht needed British post-war power to reach a suitable range!

After any war, big powers will face a strategic adjustment. For example, France, as a defeated country, realizes that it cannot gain benefits from military confrontation with Germany. Then recognition and cooperation become an option, and Germany Human leniency also makes this choice possible.

　　 The same is true in the UK! Even though Britain will not be destroyed this time, it is inevitable to fall from the peak of power! The British know very well that the Germans can let go of France, but they will never let go of Britain! Because France's foundation is at that level, no matter how strong it is. Moreover, France is next to Germany. In the most favorable situation, France and its allies cannot fight against Germany and Austria. Therefore, when France is willing to surrender, Germany will accept it. After all, France has no threat to Germany after the war.

　　 But the UK is different! Not to mention that the British industry and technology are world-class ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Just look at the dominions of Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, the strength is very strong, although the British are defeated, although the British are not able to face Germany alone However, Britain still has the possibility of defeating Germany together with other allies. From a strategic point of view, the two sides' desire for colonies, resources and markets makes their conflicts irreconcilable.

　　 At this point, the French's relatively barren colony has become an advantage! The Germans disdain to **** it, but the UK is different! Even though Germany is currently limited in what it can eat, after digesting the fruits of victory in World War I, Germany will continue to attack Britain, unless one day Britain is willing to accept a position similar to France! Therefore, the confrontation between Britain and Germany will be a long-term battle! As an established colonial power, Britain is not only powerful in its economic, military, and technical capabilities, but also very sophisticated in diplomacy. Then after the war, how will Britain choose?

　　 For Ruprecht, there is only one thing he worries about most, and that is that Britain chooses to compromise with the United States! Well, although the relationship between the United States and Britain is almost in an ice age due to the disgraceful role played by the British in the Battle of the Philippines, how do you say? There is only one American's greatest enemy, and that is Japan. Although Britain is hateful, it can only be regarded as an accessory in this matter. The laws of later generations all have clauses that an accessory can be leniently dealt with. What about now? For Americans, if the British are willing to admit counsel, will the United States accept it or not?
