1572 Talks 4
"It seems that our negotiations are in trouble." The prince answered very calmly because he knew that this question could not be achieved overnight, and it was not even possible for Roosevelt to make the decision. But Germany can wait because of this plane, the United States' environment is much worse than in history. Without the opening-door policy of the Far East, it is difficult for Americans to insert the economic power into the Far East. Africa is even controlled by the original powers of Europe. The only influential place for Americans 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 we can at least let the Japanese get out of Guinea!" The prince picked up another chip and put it on the scale!
"This is unfair. According to the previous agreement between the United States and Germany, the German government after the war should help the United States get back the former Bismarck territory (the northeastern region of Guinea Island). With this foothold, the US Army can fight independently, and it is far from the main ports of the Japanese Navy, so the US Navy is enough to deal with the Japanese Navy." Benson said on the side.
"Then I'll wait and see." The prince said indifferently. What's the joke? In the island battle of War 2, the Americans had absolute firepower advantage and were all bloody, not to mention now. Moreover, Guinea Island is very large. As the front deepens inland, it will sooner or later leave the support of naval guns. Just now, the US Army and the Japanese Army that have experienced the world war are fighting? The prince is quite unpopular!
"Damn it! This obviously looks down on the army and navy of the United States of America!" Both Roosevelt and Benson were very dissatisfied with the prince's attitude. It is not the most important thing to look down on. More importantly, people do not seem to plan to continue talking about this attitude. Roosevelt's mission here is half completed! It is confirmed that Germany has no ambitions in the Far East, but the Germans are too high for the joint fight against Japan! And they do not seem to plan to lower the price.
"It's still very early to the end of the war, and we still have a lot of time to discuss this matter in detail. Moreover, I have just received a telegram from Berlin recently, and it seems that General Pershing is preparing to stay in Germany for a period of time. I think that after seeing the war in Europe, your country should have a general understanding of the combat effectiveness of the major participating countries in this war. By then, we can discuss some situations in detail."
"And what I need to make clear is that if the US dollar and mark can be used as settlement means between the United States and Germany, it will be of great help to American companies entering Europe. The empire's territory in Africa will definitely expand after the war. So these are two large markets." The prince is ready to end today's talks.
The prince planned to maintain the basic borders of the Western Front after the end of 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 absolutely okay to force Belgium to hand over Congo! If it comes to economic value and asters, Congo is valuable than all the colonies obtained by Germany before! Gold, diamonds, copper ores, various non-ferrous metals and rich forestry resources are definitely the treasure pot of Europe!
If the Germans develop this place of more than 2 million square kilometers by themselves, it will be difficult, so strong capital needs to be involved. Americans will definitely be interested in it. Well, if the development of Congo is the condition, Americans must carefully consider the prince’s suggestion, right?
The strategic temptation has ended. Although the Americans were not satisfied with this result, they were relieved. They were still full of confidence and believed that in the final stage of the war, they could force the Germans to make concessions by doing some tricks in aid.
However, the prince was also very satisfied because he had figured out the way for the Americans, that is, the Americans would definitely fight a war with Japan after the war, which was no less than the Russo-Japanese War. Although it could not be said to destroy the country, it would definitely affect the war in the Far East for the next 20 years. For Germany, as long as the Americans were willing to fight, it would be great! Without giving all their might, it would be too difficult to defeat Japan today.
Especially under the current conditions, the island battle is definitely synonymous with meat grinders and blood. Japan can get help from Britain and France. In this case, the United States will definitely fall into a quagmire. If they want to get a decent ending, they must help from the Germans. Inadvertently, the Americans gave their current initiative to give it to others!
What Germany needs to do is similar to what China, Britain and France did in the Russo-Japanese War. It stands on the side of the Americans, but to control the rhythm and outcome of the war, the United States needs to gain some advantages, but at the same time, Japan cannot collapse. Let the hatred of these two enemies in the Far East take a step further with the war!
To be honest, so far, even though the Americans immediately cut off aid, the prince was still confident of achieving his strategic goals. You should know that in history, Germany did not get much from the United States, and there was support from Britain and France. What was the result? Didn’t Germany still rely on its own national strength to fight against Britain and France for 4 years? If the Americans had not become the last straw that broke the camel’s back, the result would be hard to say!
And now? Germany's foundation and preparation are better. The war has just been fought for more than a year, and Russia is about to end. The situation is great. Germany can rely on its own strength to fight on the Western Front until Britain and France surrender! Therefore, the aid of the Americans is not necessary now, so as long as Germany is not too desperate, the strategic goal of this war can be achieved.
When the talks between Ruprecht and Theodore Roosevelt reached the third day, an unexpected message interrupted the venue. The Chief of Staff of the Bavarian Legion, Kariput, sent a telegram, and the content of the telegram made the prince feel a little worried.
"What should come will come in the end!" The prince put the telegram aside, and his eyes moved to the map of the Eastern Mediterranean on the wall. The French landed, and a very large French army launched a landing battle! When he saw it for the first time, the prince even suspected that he had seen it wrong!
"There were 4 French divisions in the first wave?! Three of them were French front-line divisions?" The prince asked the General Staff to verify the information content again.
"Yes, it's four standard French divisions, one division of the Anzac and New Zealand Army and an Indian cavalry division. Our planes have undergone multiple reconnaissances, and the intercepted information also confirmed this." Kariput said.
