Chapter 2291: Change topic two
For a Russia that has just finished the world war and has experienced at least three years of civil war, and has been unprecedentedly weak, this is undoubtedly a disaster! Even with the support of German weapons, I am afraid it will not work! Even the Russians may have difficulty even guaranteeing food supplies, because the largest granary in Russia, Ukraine, no longer exists! And even if there is land, Russia, which has experienced too much population loss, may not have enough labor, and this situation has never happened in Russia's hundreds of years of history!
Therefore, from the German point of view, letting the Russians fight three wars in a series can fundamentally hurt Russia. This is not a simple economic support and technical assistance that can be restored, the pain of war and the population. Loss will deeply affect a generation of Russians! This will make them psychologically resist the future war, especially in the face of the Germans who have crushed themselves!
As for the outcome of this war? Naturally, it is very simple. No matter how Japan resists, under the control of Germany and the United States, Japan will lose most of the benefits they gained in Russia during the war! The only problem is the length of time and the loss of the Russians!
The defeat of the Japanese was a win-win decision for both the United States and Germany. The Americans weakened the Japanese, while Germany kicked Japan’s influence out of the Far East, making Japan only develop in the ocean in the future. The development of Japan on the ocean will naturally bring pressure to the United States! Japan's national strength is inherently weak, but still want to eat land and sea? Think too much!
"So now that we have reached an agreement on this issue, now we can start the next question, that is, where do you think the final front of the US-German coalition in the Pacific War should be?" After the agreement, Taft can't wait to throw out his most concerned issue!
"I am also very embarrassed with this question. First of all, I want to ask your Excellency. If we can take some of the Dutch East Indies colonies from the Japanese, how will your country handle these places? Control yourself? Return them. Give the Netherlands or allow local independence? You know, during the war, the Netherlands was relatively friendly to the German Empire." Crown Prince Ruprecht asked a somewhat sharp question!
"We did not consider this thoroughly, and logically it should be returned to the Netherlands, but now that the time has passed, even if it is handed over to the Netherlands, they may not be able to hold it. We are trying to create a yoke to prevent Japan from expanding again, not Today we exchanged our blood for victory, and tomorrow we will be easily retaken by the Japanese. I don’t think your country wants to see this, right?” Taft thought for a while and said.
"It seems that the Americans are very ambitious," the crown prince said in his heart. Although Taft did not say that he was thoughtful, they must have their own plan. This plan is likely to be consistent with the American attitude towards the Philippines in history. After the Spanish-American War in 1898, the Americans were right. Under the direct rule of the Philippines, the Philippines was defined as a free state in 1935. With reference to this, the Americans may want to establish some free states in the former Dutch East Indies, and control them through indirect rule.
The idea of the Americans is good news for Germany. After all, Americans need to be responsible for the security issues of these free states. If a large number of American troops can be nailed to the Far East, this is naturally very desirable for Germany. There is a sentence In other words, only when a territory sheds a lot of blood when seized, then more blood will shed to defend this place in the future. This sentence is very suitable to explain the current American mentality!
As for the Netherlands, whose interests are damaged, what should we do? Ruprecht hasn't thought about it yet. The Americans have made it clear that they want to bring most of the results they have gained into their control. The Germans have no reason to fall out with the Americans on this issue for the Netherlands. And handing it over to the Netherlands is actually not a good choice, because in the Pacific region where the big powers are currently competing for supremacy, the neutral position of the Netherlands in the past is no longer suitable for the current environment, and the only place for the Netherlands to rely on is the United States. Therefore, it does not matter whether the Netherlands can regain its original colony.
"As for the end of the attack mentioned by your country, I think this issue is very complicated. It depends on the performance of both the enemy and the enemy. From a military point of view, where our army can reach and ultimately control it, then the final line is Where! According to the current agreement and situation between the two sides, the main support method of the empire is to dispatch the navy. For the land warfare, we provide equipment and some auxiliary personnel at most. Because the casualties of the land warfare are too great." Ruprecht After thinking about it.
"We can pay, just like the British hired Japanese back then, UU reading www.uukanshu.com we can go far beyond the British offer." Taft said. Compared with the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army can be described as weak. The U.S. Navy was at least the third in the world in tonnage, and is now the second in the world! But the US Army? Well, now the overall rating of the US Army is lower than that of the Japanese Army, and the Japanese Army had five European powers before! The high casualties of the Army made American politicians feel very uneasy.
"It's not a question of money. The soldiers of the empire can pay more than 1 million casualties for the life and death of the empire. This is the price a country and nation must pay to become strong. But if you fight for others, it is completely different. As the future King, I can ask my subjects to go to the battlefield for the victory of the empire. I will also go to the battlefield to brave the bullets to direct the battle, but if I do not have this right for the sake of the money, my subjects have no obligation." Ruprecht said.
"I can't see any sincerity in your answer! Even in a country like Japan, when the UK is willing to pay sufficient benefits, it will also provide corresponding strength to help the UK. I doubt the basis of cooperation between the two countries. Does it still exist?" Taft said angrily.
"Because we are not Japan, the lives of every citizen of the German Empire are important." Ruprecht said: "As for the basis of our cooperation? Naturally, believe me, there is the German Empire High Seas Fleet, then Your country will definitely be able to obtain the dominance of the sea, and if we do not exist, then I am very optimistic about your fleet."
