1862 Americans in action 2
"I would like to visit Mr. Hassai in my personal capacity, hoping that we can discuss some issues that everyone is interested in and spend a pleasant time." When only Hassai and Robert Lanxin were left in the room, Robert first spoke to express his purpose.
"So, your behavior has nothing to do with the government? If we want to communicate, we can have a conversation at a cocktail party or other formal occasions. Now, you drive alone to meet me alone. If some people with ulterior motives know about it, then it will be difficult for us to do it, right?" Hasse said in a humble and arrogant manner.
"Even if you are a secretary of state, if it is reported at this time that the United States and the Berlin parliamentary faction have no time to take care of it, the heir of the Bavarian Kingdom and the regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire may be very unhappy, right?" Hasse said with a turn of the tone.
"Are you talking about His Highness Crown Prince Ruprecht? If he decides to pursue the matter, I may be in trouble, but the current situation is that Crown Prince Ruprecht doesn't care much about the issues we are going to discuss!" Robert said after taking a sip of coffee: "Since I am willing to take risks, why don't you listen to the advice from the other side of the ocean?" After a moment, Hasser made a gesture of invitation.
"From the current situation we have obtained, your side is very unfavorable in the game in Germany. Not to mention that other German states are hostile to you, even within Prussia, most of the top leaders prefer the German emperor. If you delay this for a long time, you will only be more and more passive to you." Robert said. "And if you don't want your recent efforts to waste, then this negotiation is the last chance."
"Then are you going to provide some advice for us in negotiations?" Hassey was not surprised that Robert knew about the negotiations within Prussia. After all, the Navy had issued more than once negotiation statements. This was public, and it was not surprising that Americans wanted to know at all.
"Don't get along with the emperor and the nobles. To be honest, the time of the uprising you chose was not good. Germany was already an overwhelming advantage in the war. William II, as the leader, will naturally receive support from a considerable number of people. Even if you use domestic material difficulties and other means to get help from some people, in general, the public opinion is still sympathetic. No matter how you claim your behavior, it is an original sin to drag your legs back during the war!"
"So what if you get what you want in the negotiations? As long as the Prussian nobles are still there, as long as William II is still the German emperor and the king of Prussia, as long as the Junker nobles still have an overwhelming advantage in the government system, they can liquidate you at any time! Don't tell me, you are really clean like pure water! And even if there are one or two exceptions, it will not prevent others from slandering you. Not only individuals, but even your political party will be beaten and broken down in the next few years." After saying that, Robert looked at the other party and continued: "You should be very clear about this. You must also be looking for a solution, but for some reasons, you have not finalized it!"
"Hiss..." Hassai vaguely felt that the Americans seemed to know something extraordinary. At the first moment, he thought of Barth's suggestion. He now had no doubt that the Americans might have contacted people within him through certain channels!
"Okay, this may be my guess. I will give you a straightforward suggestion today. If you cannot completely control Prussia, then you must at least control part of Prussia!" Looking at the other party's bad eyes, Robert simply launched it directly. It seems that there are some problems with the United States' plan, and the contact person of the US government did not inform the senior executives of the parliament about this plan?
"Someone has made similar suggestions, and I wonder, have you contacted some of our core personnel?" Hassai asked.
"It seems that this is why Mr. Shederman was excluded by you? Well, I admit that we did have contact with Mr. Shederman, but they were all kind and had no malice!" said Robert.
The US government did send someone to contact Shederman before and talked about this matter, but then, before Shederman informed Albert and others of this suggestion, under pressure from Bavaria, Albert had already put Shederman in house arrest. The Americans mistakenly thought that these things were caused by Shederman's suggestions, so under such a wrong judgment, Robert would personally take the stage as the Secretary of State! When the matter was exposed, in order to reduce the other party's disgust, Robert admitted so happily. After all, that was a thing of the past. Shederman capsized and then capsized, and Robert still had to continue his work!
"Damn it! What's going on?!" Hasser was also in a storm. He didn't expect Shederman to contact the Americans in private! Hasser knew why Shederman was locked in a small dark room. Does he doubt that Albert had contact with the Americans too?! And Barth, who is also a social-Democratic centrist, has problems? So, under the influence of the paranoia of persecution unique to politicians, Hasser felt that the highest fours were probably the only ones who were in charge of military affairs, he was clean.
"Albert should be cleaner, otherwise this resolution might have been passed." Soon, in just a dozen seconds, Hasser stabilized his position again under the influence of reason. Although it was a four-person committee, Albert and Hasser themselves, as the leader of their respective parties, obviously have greater power, and Bart is a little worse. Although Bulle is in charge of the army, as a newcomer, it is actually a face to be able to come in. If Albert and Bart both agreed with the Americans, then this resolution would have been passed long ago! Even if 2v2 cannot be passed temporarily, Albert would just be able to attract an outsider himself.
However, no matter what, Robert's operational mistakes still left a very bad impression on the Americans. The so-called brothers are fighting outside the wall to defend against their insults! Even though the Social Democratic Party and the German Emperor have a quarrel, they are absolutely unwilling to let Americans interfere in their domestic affairs in their hearts! Hass still has this kind of integrity.
