"The French army is a very good system. They have advanced weapons and equipment, a complete logistics supply and command system, and also have a group of fearless troops. In terms of fighting will, the French are definitely one of the most brave troops in the world. To be honest, fighting with such an opponent is very annoying, not because it cannot be defeated, but because it is too great. Wars are always for the sake of interests, and costs and casualties must be considered." The prince said earnestly.&1t;/p>

"We paid a huge cost, but we did not let the enemy who should be hit hardest and most important, but we were second, no, the enemy who ranked third was fighting to the death. Do you think we lost this war?" Crown Prince Ruprecht asked.&1t;/p>

"Do you think that in the future, the French are our third enemy? Then can the Russians be second?" asked General Hausen.&1t;/p>

"Everyone, look at the current territory. Warsaw, Minsk, Kiev, Riga and other places are under the control of the empire. The Russians are even within the scope of our artillery. Our fleet can act freely in the back garden of the Russians - the Gulf of Finland. Our attacks on the Russians and the resentment we have made against the Russians are much deeper than the hatreds we have made with the French during the French-Prussian War. It is not an exaggeration to say that the hatred is as deep as the sea. If one day the Germans and the French can shake hands and make peace, then it is impossible to have a Russian, unless they become an Asian country." Ruprecht said.&1t;/p>

"However, I think the ranking of threats is more important than hatred. Your Highness, if you talk about hatred, Romania, which has been destroyed by us, should hate us more. However, when did we take them seriously?" General Hellingen continued to argue.&1t;/p>

"However, it is undeniable that although we have included the richest Russian areas and granaries under our rule, Russia is still a very potential power. All they lack is time and a strong central government. Believe me, in the future, this new country, which still has tens of millions of square kilometers of land, and the area is nine times that of the empire, will fight us again in the near future. And the threat they give us is even greater, even Britain and France are added together." Ruprecht said.&1t;/p>

Russia has been weakened, and it has been much weakened, but the lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although it has lost more than one million ordinary kilometers of land, who dares to deny that Russia is a big country? Whether in terms of population, resources or land area, Russia is still a big country. In terms of strength, no matter how weak Russia is, it is actually stronger than the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If it is the future red giant, the industrial scale and comprehensive national strength of France are just like playing!&1t;/p>

Having said that, Hellingen did not argue anymore. There is no way. In addition to his military level, his farming level is also unattainable in Germany. He can turn a country with only more than 70,000 square kilometers into its current state in just 20 years. This level has been rare for hundreds of years. There is no way, Bavaria's starting point is too low and its strength is a bit weak. Look at the present? To be low, Bavaria can beat France ten years later! So, in terms of professional fields, you must listen to professionals, regardless of whether you, Hellingen agree, but never challenge the prince in such matters.&1t;/p>

"Look at our future situation. On the Eastern Front, we have to face an enemy that is stronger than the French and even the British. On the opposite side of the sea, the British who failed once did not get hurt. They have at least a dozen years to lick their wounds slowly and then fight again. What about the French? They are actually our weakest enemies. They have a small land area, a weak industry, a small population, and no resources. Why do we have to stare at the French and let the British go?" Ruprecht asked back.&1t;/p>

"Your Highness, the British must punish them, we agree with this. From what you said just now, you seem to be ready to attack the British fleet and have a considerable chance of winning. So why can't we do this? After defeating the French, then using the navy to kill the British? In this way, we will completely solve the problem in Western Europe. It is just a matter of sequence." Crook finally made his statement.&1t;/p>

"This question is very good," said Ruprecht. "I believe that the rest of the people here, except me, Grand Duke Albrecht and General Moltke, are thinking about this question. Since the imperial military has the advantage, why don't we solve both Britain and France directly?"&1t;/p>

"In fact, the best result in my heart is to solve these two problems once and for all, but now, I can only say that the situation does not allow it! Don't forget that there is another powerful country that has not intervened in the war. When the Allies and the Allies fought to the death, he was watching coldly, and when the war was about to settle, he finally took action." Ruprecht said.&1t;/p>

"American? Isn't he our ally? Even with the British blockade, American merchant ships still transported us tens of millions of tons of supplies. After the war, the Americans still had to rely on our help to deal with the Japanese. Why did they stand on the side of our enemies at the end of the war, when we were about to become victors? Has their attitude changed?" Crook asked in surprise.&1t;/p>

"Their attitude has never changed! What big powers emphasize is interests! Americans can stand with us because we have common interests, and there are not many contradictions. We are enemies with the British and Japanese, while Americans are mortal enemies with Britain and Japan because of the Philippines. On this point, our interests are consistent and the basis of our cooperation. We have no territorial demand for the Far East, only economic interests, which makes Americans entering the Far East feel at ease, so we are standing together now. However, major powers have always cooperated and fought against each other."&1t;/p>

"The Americans help us are not without conditions or limits. They need us to win, thinking that we will fight against the Japanese after the war, but at the same time, they are unwilling to let us get too much. The large piece of meat we tore off the Russians has already made the Americans frightened. How could they allow us to enter Paris again, or even march into London to put the whole of Europe under our rule? Now, Europe is the core of the world. Whoever controls Europe will own the whole world. What the Americans need is a strong ally, not a hegemon."&1t;/p>
