Chapter 1569 Talks One
"I have always believed that in the new world dominated by virtue and virtue in the future, Japan is an important enemy. It is not only the enemy of our United States, but also the enemy of Germany. In this war, the Japanese not only occupied the original It belongs to the colonies of the United States, and at the same time actively participated in the war in Europe, which brought a lot of trouble to your country. Therefore, after your country won the victory in the European battlefield, our two countries should seize this opportunity and take revenge against Japan ’ said Roosevelt.
"The agreement signed between the United States and Germany is still valid. After the war, the German High Seas Fleet will help the US allies to regain the colonies that originally belonged to your country! This is beyond doubt." Ruprecht said.
"But this is not enough. We can't just be satisfied with taking back those islands. You must know that the Japanese brazenly invaded and occupied most of the Dutch East Indies during the war. It is less than what your country obtained from Eastern Europe. In this case, I think we should continue to work hard to drive the Japanese out of these places!" Roosevelt said with some dissatisfaction in his heart.
"The cost is too high. This is undoubtedly the same as letting Germany fight another national war in the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away. The casualties are likely to exceed six figures. This is a high cost for Germany, which has just finished a national war. It's outrageous, and there is basically no benefit!" said the prince.
"Listen to me." The prince made a quiet gesture, "It is impossible for us to completely defeat Britain and France in this war. This war is definitely not a war to end everything. After this war is over, it may be just a war for Europe." It's just a long-term truce. The strength of Britain and France still exists, and they will not be willing to lose their hegemony in the world. Some people in your country worry that a Europe that surrenders at the foot of the German Empire will pose a threat to the United States, but I can tell you clearly that Germany is currently There is no strength to defeat Britain and France, and my purpose is to seek peace after gaining some advantages on the western front. Therefore, under such circumstances, it is impossible for us to help your country fight an already developed regional power in the Far East A massive war!"
"Hehe." It was difficult for Theodore Roosevelt to describe his mood at the moment. This is the first time that a heavyweight in the German government has clearly expressed the strategic goals of the Allies on the Western Front. Generally speaking, it is very in line with the requirements of the Americans, gaining advantages on the battlefield and consuming the national power of Britain and France, but they cannot overwhelm Opponents, therefore, after the war, Europe still maintains a separatist regime between the two major powers, and the main European powers are still caught in the restraint of each other and cannot extricate themselves!
But at the same time, the Germans also took advantage of this to perfectly evade the Americans' suggestion that Germany and Germany send troops to punish Japan. Well, in Roosevelt's view, taking back what originally belonged to them is not a punishment at all. punish.
"However, I don't think your country's limit is here. After all, the war on the Eastern Front is about to end, and judging from the production situation, your country's industrial potential has not yet been brought into play, and Britain and France have almost overdrawn their national strength. We can look forward to defeating France and even regaining the glory of His Majesty Emperor William I." Roosevelt thought for a while and said.
"hehe.
"The prince looked at Theodore Roosevelt meaningfully. "No matter how strong Germany is, it is just a country. A country with an area of less than 600,000 square kilometers. worlds against each other. We need financial and material support from our American friends and the military might of Austria-Hungary. But now, the assistance of American friends is somewhat insufficient for the huge war consumption, and what about the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Before the Russians were about to fall, they also broke a major pillar of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and things are not going as well as you might think. "
"And even in Eastern Europe, we have only gained a certain advantage. The Normanov dynasty is a corrupt and inefficient dynasty. After their fall, the new government will definitely be more efficient than Tsarist Russia. And lost Russia with so many territories will definitely not let it go, I am afraid that Russia will still maintain close relations with Britain and France to contain Germany, so I am far less optimistic about the future of Germany than some people think." The prince added.
The prince said these words not only to evade, but also to convince Roosevelt that Germany did not have the ambition and ability to "unify Europe"! The prince once thought maliciously: For the United States, Germany's dominance of Europe is probably more terrifying than Japan's today? After all, no matter how strong Japan is, its power at most is to dominate the Far East, and Germany really has the possibility of becoming a world empire. The Americans must be able to tell which is more important.
If Europe is still confronted by two major groups, then the United States can still be friends with Germany, but if the French fall, I am afraid that the United States will turn from fans to black and become friends with the British, right? Therefore, for the prince, this talk will not talk about how to solve the Far East issue. The first thing is to convince the Americans that after the war, Europe will still maintain a two-power situation!
"What your Highness said is very reasonable." Roosevelt said while thinking quickly in his mind, and after thinking about it for a while, Roosevelt felt that what the prince said was very reasonable. First, the situation in Austria-Hungary was indeed very bad. Under the Russian Borusinov offensive, the Hungarian Legion was defeated, which led to political turmoil in Hungary. The Austro-Hungarian Empire began to deal with its own internal problems, and even the Bavarian Army, which was originally deployed in the Balkans, had to enter the Eastern Front to replace the Austrian Army. The Americans naturally had intelligence bases in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. As evidenced by each other, the Americans could feel the weakness of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Austro-Hungary failed, the Bavarian Army returned to the Eastern Front, and the Balkan Front became empty. Ever since, Turkey was in danger again.... Therefore, thinking of this, Theodore Roosevelt believes that Germany has the upper hand in this war, but it is the most likely outcome that it cannot completely overwhelm Britain and France. If this outcome is realized, the United States naturally does not have to worry about Germany becoming bigger.
As for postwar? With Germany occupying a large amount of Russian territory, no matter which party becomes the ruling party in Russia, this hatred cannot be eliminated. How much land did Germany take in the Franco-Prussian War? The hatred between the two parties has continued for decades. And now in Russia? Well, this is a sworn hatred!
