Chapter 1572: Talks Four
Chapter 1572 Talking 4
"It seems that our negotiations have encountered some troubles." The prince replied very calmly, because he knew that this issue cannot be resolved overnight, and Roosevelt can't even make a decision. But Germany can wait, because in this plane, the environment of the United States is much worse than in history. Without the open door policy of the Far East, it is difficult for the Americans to insert their economic power into the Far East. Africa is controlled by the original European powers. The only place of influence is South America, but here, they also have to face the pressure of European powers.
"If we can reach an agreement on this issue, then at least we can let the Japanese get out of Guinea Island!" The prince picked up another chip and put it on the balance!
"This is unfair. According to the previous agreement between the United States and Germany, the German government should help the United States take back the original Bismarck territory (the northeastern region of Guinea Island) after the war. With this foothold, the U.S. Army can fight independently, and it is far away from Japan. The main ports of the navy are far away, and the U.S. Navy is enough to deal with the Japanese navy.” Benson said.
"Then I'll wait and see." The prince said indifferently. What are you kidding? In the island battle of World War II, the Americans had an absolute advantage in firepower and blood was shed in rivers, let alone now? Moreover, the island of Guinea is very large. As the battle line deepens inland, sooner or later it will lose the support of naval guns. Now the US Army is fighting with the Japanese Army that has experienced the world war? The prince is quite pessimistic!
"Fuck! This is obviously looking down on the Army and Navy of the United States of America!" Both Roosevelt and Benson were very dissatisfied with the prince's attitude. Looking down is not the most important thing. What's more important is that people don't seem to intend to continue the conversation with this attitude. Roosevelt's mission here is only half completed! It is confirmed that Germany has no ambitions in the Far East, but for the issue of joining forces to fight Japan, the Germans' asking price is too high! And it doesn't appear to be planning to drop the price.
"It is still very early from the end of the war, and we still have a lot of time to discuss this matter in detail. Moreover, I just received a telegram from Berlin recently. It seems that General Pershing is going to be stationed in Germany for a while. I think, after seeing the After the war in Europe, your country should have a general understanding of the combat power of the main participating countries in this war. At that time, we can discuss some details in detail."
"And I need to point out that if the United States and Germany can use the US dollar and the mark as a means of settlement at the same time, it will also be of great help to American companies entering Europe. After the end of the war, the empire's territory in Africa will definitely expand. .So these are two big markets.” The prince is ready to end today’s talks.
The prince intends to keep the basic borders of the Western Front unchanged after the war, but it does not mean that some countries will not bleed! It may be difficult to obtain colonies from Britain and France, but it is completely possible to force Belgium to hand over the Congo! In terms of economic value and asters, Congo is worth more than all the colonies Germany has acquired before! Gold, diamonds, copper mines, various non-ferrous metals and rich forestry resources,
This is definitely a cornucopia of Europe!
It would be difficult for the Germans to develop this area of more than 2 million square kilometers, so the intervention of strong capital is needed, and the Americans are definitely interested in it. Well, if the development of the Congo is used as a condition, the Americans will always have to Have you carefully considered the prince's suggestion?
The strategic test is over. Although the Americans are not satisfied with this result, they are relieved. They are still full of confidence. They believe that in the final stage of the war, they can force the Germans to make concessions by doing some tricks in terms of aid.
However, the prince is also very satisfied, because he has figured out the way of the Americans, that is, after the war, the Americans will definitely fight a war with Japan no less than the Russo-Japanese War. Even if it affects the war in the Far East for 20 years in the future, for Germany, as long as the Americans are willing to fight, that's fine! If the United States does not go all out, it can only be said that it is too difficult to win the current Japan.
Especially in the battle for islands under the current conditions, it is definitely synonymous with meat grinder and blood, and Japan can get help from Britain and France. In this case, the United States will definitely fall into a quagmire, and if they want to get A decent ending requires the help of the Germans. Inadvertently, the Americans gave away their current initiative!
What Germany needs to do is similar to what Britain and France did in the Russo-Japanese War. Standing on the side of the Americans, but to control the rhythm and outcome of the war, the United States needs to have some advantages, but at the same time Japan cannot collapse. Let the hatred between these two enemies in the Far East go further with the war!
To be honest, so far, even if the Americans immediately cut off the aid, the prince is still confident in achieving his strategic goals. You must know that in history, Germany did not get much from the United States, while Britain and France were backed by the United States. how? Didn't Germany still rely on its own national strength to fight Britain and France for 4 years? If the Americans hadn't become the straw that broke the camel's back in the end, the result would be hard to say!
And now? Germany's foundation and preparations are better. The war has just been fought for more than a year, and Russia is already doomed. The situation is very good, and Germany can completely rely on its own strength to defeat Britain and France on the Western Front! Therefore, American assistance is not necessary now, so as long as Germany does not die too much, the strategic goal of this war can be achieved.
When the talks between Ruprecht and Theodore Roosevelt were on their third day. A rather unexpected message interrupted the venue. The chief of staff of the Bavarian Army, Caliput, sent a telegram, and the content of the telegram made the prince feel a little worried.
"What should come will come eventually!" The prince put the telegram aside, and then moved his eyes to the map of the Eastern Mediterranean on the wall. The French landed, and a very large French army launched a landing operation. ! When he saw it for the first time, the prince even suspected that his eyes were wrong!
"There were 4 French divisions in the first wave?! 3 of them are the first-line divisions of the French?" The prince asked the General Staff to verify the content of the intelligence again.
"Yes, there are 4 standard French divisions, as well as a division of the Anzac Army and an Indian cavalry division. Our aircraft has undergone multiple reconnaissance, and the intercepted intelligence has also confirmed this." Caliput Said.
