Chapter 2289: Mutual fear
"So is Japan now afraid of Germany? Do the Japanese think Germany is more difficult to deal with than the United States?" Wilson said.
"If it is purely Germany, then the Japanese may not be afraid, because Germany does not have much interest in the Far East, so the possibility of a large-scale war is very low, and Germany has no suitable springboard in the Far East. But war has never been 1 Regarding the problem of 1, we and the Japanese are endlessly dying, so what Japan is most worried about is the need to face the pressure of both virtues and Germany at the same time. In this case, if Germany is given a certain benefit in exchange for Germany to withdraw, then Naturally it is a very good deal." Taft said.
"So, the Germans can actually choose to fight or not, and we have to fight, is that true?" Wilson asked.
"Yes, this is the reason for our disadvantage. But according to our estimation, the Germans should still want to fight. After all, if the Germans cannot provide military assistance to the United States, then the cooperation between the United States and Germany will at least be lost. Half the meaning. And now, the Germans still need our dollars." Taft said with a sigh.
"Then what shall we do next?" Wilson asked.
"It's very simple, first partially fulfill the previous agreement, and then we continue to talk about other issues." Taft said.
This negotiation between the virtues and Germany did not stop for too long, because the first round of the two sides was just a trial. Both virtues and Germany need each other, so on some issues, we still have a basis for exchanges and cooperation. Therefore, after the Americans expressed their willingness to pay compensation for the German navy sunken and killed and wounded soldiers, the second round of US-German negotiations began. After the prologue, and the unpleasant events that occurred in the first negotiation between the two sides, both sides deliberately avoided the issue of money, so this time, the discussion between the United States and Germany focused on the handling of the Allied Powers!
"I have seen samples of peace agreements submitted by your country. Generally speaking, I think your country is still too tolerant to Britain. African colonies are not the most important to the British Empire. The most important ones are Canada and Australia. Dominions and British Indian regions."
"If you can, I hope that you can force the British to abandon Canada and Australia. We can not occupy these places and make them an independent country. It will also cause a serious weakening of the United Kingdom." Taft said.
"There is a saying I don’t know if you have heard of it. If we can’t get something on the battlefield, then we can’t get it at the negotiating table. First of all, we can’t land in the UK. The price is one aspect, expensive The country will not allow it. Am I right?" Ruprecht said with a smile.
"I think you have some problems with our attitude. We are firmly on your side." After hearing the crown prince's words, Taft hurriedly defended.
"Hehe, if your country really regards the British as an unending enemy like the Japanese, then why not participate in the war when the British are about to lose? By this time, we are already in a situation of victory, and military risks are almost It is 0. As for excuses? I think your country that has provoked the Spanish-American War will not find an excuse? The simplest is to declare war directly on Japan. However, Britain and Japan are allies, and at the same time they declare war on Japan. War is declared on the British. How simple is this?"
"Well, there are some things you and I both know well. We are holding closed-door meetings now, without facing reporters and the media. So you can let a lot of things go without covering up. Your country has a heart for us. Sorry, so I hope to retain a moderately powerful country to contain us. We can understand this, and we can do it. Then what else is your dissatisfaction?" The crown prince has already said very bluntly.
"In this case, not only us, but even the British know that they will not be subjugated. If this is the case, why do they have to surrender the most elite dominions and colonies of the empire? This is not afraid, they know very well. As long as the basic needs of the empire are met, this crisis can be overcome. Our goal is also clear, and that is to eat what we can."
"India is a very good colony, with a large amount of labor, a large amount of raw materials, and it is also a very good market, but unfortunately, it is too far away from us, and the population is too large to rule. Australia and Canada It’s also far away from the empire, and the empire has no ability to conquer with force. Just like what I said before, things that are not available on the battlefield are also not available at the negotiation table. These places are either not suitable for the current empire. , Or we don’t have the ability to take it, so why do we have to add these meaningless things to the treaty?” Ruprecht asked rhetorically.
"Your statement is a bit wrong. Britain is your enemy. From your point of view~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As long as it can weaken the opponent, it will be a good thing for your country anyway. If your country If you feel that you cannot force Britain to submit by your own strength, then the United States of America can help.” Taft said.
"There is no need, because even if the plan is successful, we will not be able to obtain any benefits. We are too far away from these places. If your country wants to obtain these benefits, then you must fight for it with your swords and guns, not Counting on using money to buy or conspiracy to make others work for you. At least this is not working for Germany, we are not that stupid." Ruprecht's response was very decisive.
"Okay, let me just say the following. According to our intelligence, you have already contacted the British and put forward a proposal to let the British abandon the Canadian dominion in exchange for the money and political support the British need. However, the British refused. Your idea is to let Britain decline and become your own little brother. However, this plan did not succeed, so you now want to use Germany to force the British to submit, and to maximize the interests of the United States. "The crown prince looked at Taft who was silent and continued.
"If your country has participated in this war decisively, even if you join the battlefield in the final stage of the war, you will have the right to dispose of Britain, and even if you really want to completely destroy the foundations of Britain, you can do it with Canada now. But You didn't do this, so you lost the opportunity." said the crown prince.
