Chapter 1571 Talking 3
"Fuck!" Now Theodore Roosevelt seems to have ten thousand mud horses running wildly in his heart. If he is proficient in Chinese culture, he may have to use one sentence to describe Ruprecht at this time. Qian Ren is strong without desire! It's a typical Lao Tzu who can't get benefits and definitely doesn't work hard!
Roosevelt was not worried at all about the issue of the former German colonies. The Germans would definitely not hesitate on this issue. The army and navy would definitely go together, and Roosevelt was sure that Japan would not do too much resistance in the former German Pacific colonies. Because it doesn't make sense. The United States and Germany are determined to win. If Japan dares to fight to the death, it will be an egg hitting a rock.
To a large extent, the national strategy is to guess what the other party thinks. Japan is very likely to guess what Germany thinks, that is, it is just to complete the agreement with the United States. China is definitely not a win. If Roosevelt was worried about Germany's re-intervention in the Far East before, but now? In just a few minutes, he has now begun to think about how to get Germany to intervene in the Far East....
"We can bear the military expenses of your country's navy and army, and even provide interest-free or even low-interest loans for Germany's post-war economic recovery." Roosevelt thought for a while and said.
"Hehe." Ruprecht smiled, but did not answer. Because the conditions offered by Roosevelt are really bad. Do you really think that Germany is the same as Japan? Deploy hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops thousands of miles away for some small money? It's not worth it at all. After the battle, a large number of troops will be abolished. Controlling new colonies requires a large population. Germany will never continue a war for a little money.
"It is impossible for your country to give up its economic interests in the Far East, and in the Far East, the Japanese are backed by military power, and your country's economic interests cannot be guaranteed!" Theodore Roosevelt said, while General Benson on the side It has completely become the background. When he came here, he should have discussed with the prince the strategy and tactics of the US Navy after the war with Japan in the future, but judging from the current situation, it seems that the Germans have no idea of fighting in the Far East at all. ....
"Hehe." Ruprecht continued to laugh without saying a word, some words cannot be said. What Theodore Roosevelt said has some truth. The current Japanese economic power has almost penetrated the northern part of the mainland, especially the Northeast. If a German company wants to do business in the Northeast, it will be troublesome. However, this does not prevent trade between Germany and Japan....
Generally speaking, Japan is still a country that mainly exports industrial products and raw materials in the early stage. Although they can build super battleships like Fuso, they are still far behind in terms of overall industrial level! Not to mention, in terms of chemicals, engines, and electrical products, Japan's pursuit of horses for 30 years is not enough to give shoes to Germany in this plane! Before the war, there was not a lot of non-governmental trade between Germany and Japan, and Siemens can also make electrical equipment on Japanese warships to illustrate this problem.
To say that the representatives of the highest technology of industrial products in this era are Britain and Germany! And in some areas,
For example, in terms of synthetic dyes, the British can only bow down, and Germany is in a monopoly position! So, no matter what, the Japanese government must do business with Germany! This is impossible. As for whether it can be done with the British? Of course it is also possible. But as Japan gradually becomes bigger and stronger in the Far East, the British may not be willing to give some things for their own benefit! But Germany is not afraid, because Germany and Japan are too far away.
As a businessman in the Far East, how can Germany make the most money? The best way is naturally to use the power of the Americans to suppress Japan, gain markets and production areas, and at the same time continue to do business with Japan. (This is the so-called eating the plaintiff and the defendant?!) Germany has its own interests in the Far East, but now, until the Americans pay a high enough price, the prince will not make any statement on military issues.
"I have always believed in one thing, that is, as a politician, there is no problem that cannot be resolved through the exchange of interests. We want to drive Japan out of the former Dutch East Indies. Please make a price!" Theodore Roosevelt said after taking a deep breath.
"Why me? You should discuss this issue with the Kaiser." The prince did not directly refuse, but raised his head and said to Roosevelt.
"To talk to you is to talk to the Kaiser, and according to the situation in Germany, some things are not convenient for the German government to do, but that doesn't mean Bavaria can't do it, such as the Boer War and the war with Italy in North Africa." Roosevelt said .
"If possible, I hope that after the war, the trade between the United States and Germany can be settled in US dollars and marks at the same time!" The prince made his first request!
"It's impossible. Mark's credibility is very low now! Not even the pound and the franc!" Roosevelt flatly refused.
That's right, Germany's demands for interests cannot be paid off with some money like Japan's. Germany wants to gradually gain financial rights in the world! Although the gold standard system in this plane has not been abolished, and banknotes cannot be issued randomly, in fact, countries with financial advantages in the world can already benefit a lot from it, such as the United Kingdom and France. Needless to say, the British pound is basically In fact, it has the same status as the US dollar in later generations. The same goes for francs! France is the largest creditor country in the world, and the power of the franc is not just about holding the Russian government! As long as the French loan can be released, the recipient of the loan must use French francs as one of the means of settlement!
Before World War I, the U.S. dollar and the mark were only circulated in a small range. Of course, with the outbreak of the First World War, the Americans purchased all kinds of high-quality assets from various countries participating in the war, and at the same time forcibly raised the status of the US dollar through trade. The current US dollar has faintly taken shape as a world currency. After a large amount of precious metals flow into the United States, the U.S. government can use this to issue a large amount of banknotes, but what about Mark? Well, it's even more tragic, this is quite detrimental to Germany's post-war trade status, so what the prince wants is monetary and financial authority, not just the so-called dollar loan!
Of course, the current mark does not have this ability. The fundamental purpose of the prince's request to do this is to quickly stabilize the value of the mark in a short period of time by binding it to the US dollar after the war. Then roll out transactions with marks as the means of settlement in South America. Of course, this is suspected of poaching the corners of the United States, so it will not be done for the time being. And the reasons for the Americans' refusal are also very good, because this issue involves more than just some dollar loans!
