Chapter 241: Think of a way!

"But Japan will not take any action, because the political, economic and military costs of doing so are very high, at least until Russia is cleaned up, they will not do it." The prince said firmly.

"Politically, Japan has offended two major powers, and if it offends the third country, Japan will really have no friends. Japan’s ambitions have attracted the attention of other powers. If only limited to the Philippines, then the French and Dutch may They will be indifferent, after all, they are too far away, but if Germany loses its colony in the Far East, then even Germany will not be spared, then how can the French and Dutch power in the Far East prevent Japan from expanding?"

"In the face of this terrible result, Japan will face the counterattack of the whole world! Even the British will not tolerate such unscrupulous expansion of the Japanese. Japan that has acquired the Philippines is already very strong. If it acquires the Dutch East Indies, then Relying on the huge population of Japan itself and the strong resource endowment of the Dutch East Indies, then Japan is really a big country! Which country do you think would bet?"

"And military and economic agreement is not feasible. Japan's occupation of the Philippines has directly doubled the area of ​​the territory! The Philippines is now in a chaotic stage. Maintaining the stability of the occupied area and re-establishing order is a waste of resources. And it happens that Japan will face Russia as a powerful enemy in the next stage. Then tell me, how does the Japanese economy support it? Even with the support of the British, is it really capable of continuing to go south? Are they crazy?"

"Furthermore, to deal with Germany outrageously is undoubtedly tantamount to completely retreating Germany to the side of Russia, and we have many ways to counter Japan. We don't even need to send troops. As long as we provide the Russians with sufficiently advanced warships, we can contain Japan. I think the Bavarian Design Bureau You should be very clear about the performance of the warship, and Japan, as the buyer, is also very clear. The cost is too high and too many enemies are made. They have to weigh them if they want to move."

"If I were a Japanese, I would stop immediately after taking American Samoa, and then digest the fruits of this war with peace of mind. Maybe I would transfer the fleet to the north to frighten the Russians, but I would never arrange for a big deal. Military action. Although the country is big, belligerent will die! It is precisely because the British understand this truth that they try to support small countries against big countries. Fight a proxy war!" His Royal Highness explained.

   "So, in your opinion, not only will we not be able to get things in the Far East this time, we will lose our efforts in the Far East for more than ten years?" Roosevelt raised his eyebrows slightly. "And what do you mean by the so-called external help? What do we need to do to keep American Samoa?"

  "It's very simple. Give American Samoa to us, and then after paying a certain price for your country, we can return it to your country!" His Royal Highness said his idea!

"It's impossible! You and the Japanese think that you also want to get a share of the defeated United States like the Japanese, but you are more cunning than them, and through the treaty, you can get something you can't get for more than a decade! Haha! , I shouldn't have believed you long ago!" Roosevelt said fiercely and even crazy.

"This is just a suggestion. You can refuse, or you can consider signing a custody agreement with Germany. The agreement stipulates that after a certain number of years, Germany will return American Samoa to the United States. The right to decide is yours! Not us. And we are private individuals. During the talks, you cannot represent the American government, and I cannot represent the German government either. You can just be chatting as I am. Well, that's it. Think about it, there will be no chance later." His Royal Highness said calmly.

"So how long will this be? And what price does the United States have to pay? Dollars or something else? How do we test whether your speculation on the Japanese Navy is correct? You have deceived many people. "Roosevelt's eyes are still full of Doubts and strong vigilance.

"Don't worry now? I have not discussed this matter with His Royal Highness and His Majesty the Emperor. This is also a very heavy burden for us, because it will intensify the conflict between us and Japan. Japan may jump the wall in a hurry. Will choose to work with us, don’t just think that you are the ones who suffer, and so are we.”

  "Mr. Roosevelt, you are not a suitable person to be a friend. You are too arbitrary. You are more like a dictator than we are. You belong to the kind of person who can't take advantage of it and even suffer a loss."

"There is a word in the East called willingness! What is willingness? You have to give up! This word is very good, but you can't understand the meaning. Okay, I will say it all. How do you think it is your business , It is your business whether to inform the president of this idea. Is this the head office?" The prince said impatiently.

  This plan was just remembered by the prince not long ago. Samoa is indeed very important to Americans. It is the only step into the Far East, and it is also very important to Japan. So Japan will definitely act. The prince is very difficult. The prince’s purpose is to keep the conflict between the United States and Japan going. This requires that the United States and Japan maintain a balance of power in the Far East. The Americans cannot be completely driven away, and the Japanese cannot be easily driven away. The United States is defeated.

  And this balance of power requires that Samoa must not be controlled by Japan. With Japan controlled, the Americans are at an absolute disadvantage in the competition in the Far East! Even if the Panama Canal is repaired and Hawaii is incorporated into the United States, there is still no use for eggs. And if it is in the hands of the United States, this assumption is not valid, because from a purely military perspective, this time the United States is simply unable to prevent the Japanese occupation of American Samoa~www.wuxiaspot.com~ so His Royal Highness racked his brains hoping for a way. It can prevent Japan from occupying Samoa, and when necessary, it can also be returned to the United States to balance Japan's power in the Far East. Of course, there is another reason that I can't tell anyone. For this reason, the layout of World War I Germany was designed.

  From this perspective, Germany is almost equivalent to helping the United States withstand a disaster. Where are the benefits for the Germans? The prince also thought of this, the income will naturally be there! And this benefit is a support of the United States for the German action! And this action will be launched in the next 3 years!

  Of course, the prince also considered the possibility of the Americans rejecting this proposal, but that’s okay. This time it was just a test and a statement. In fact, if the Americans really agreed, it would be the Germans who had the headache. Facing the strong Japanese navy, is Germany really ready to fight? Obviously impossible! This is more of a positive statement!

"I will convey your meaning to the country. I hope you can also communicate with the German government. But I need to remind you that if your country wants to invade and occupy the territory of the United States, it is absolutely impossible! Germany will Retaliation was unbearable!" Roosevelt threatened.

   "I believe that your country will make the right choice." His Royal Highness said with a smile.
