"It's just a meeting. I have never planned to sign any treaty or reach a tacit understanding with the British.

1992 Political blackmail 1

I have to say that the German Emperor is still very good at the moment. After Ruprecht politely told the German Emperor in Munich about the negotiations with the British, the latter immediately expressed his support for letting Ruprecht be fully responsible for the matter. At the same time, he also let his son, Prince Albert, return to Brussels as the representative of the German Emperor.&1t;/p>

This kind of response is quite appropriate. The German emperor's eldest son is limited and he is the commander of the front-line army. He is obviously not suitable to participate in the memories of this peace talks with Britain, and his status is also embarrassing. When the imperial prince and a crown prince appeared on the negotiation table at the same time, who is the dominant position of the negotiation? This is a question worth thinking about. Doing so is equivalent to embarrassing Ruprecht.&1t;/p>

Grand Duke Baden cannot go to Brussels either. Because now the battle for power between the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction has reached a critical moment, the German Emperor cannot leave Grand Duke Baden. It is natural for Prince Albert to go to Brussels. In terms of ability, this prince's level is the highest among all the princes of the German Emperor. In terms of status, as a prince, he is respected, and is even worse than the crown prince Ruprecht, so he is just right for representatives.&1t;/p>

"Your Highness, if I remember correctly, you refused when the British passed the peace talks through Sweden, but this time, why are you going to agree to the meeting? Is it because we have a great advantage now? We can get what we want through negotiations instead of saber?" After a brief greeting, Prince Albert asked.&1t;/p>

"It's just a meeting. I have never planned to sign any treaty or reach a tacit understanding with the British. Although we have an absolute advantage now, what we want is still very different from what the British want to give. We must use the guns in our hands to educate the British more!" Ruprecht said with a smile.&1t;/p>

"You never do something worthless, even this meeting may have a purpose, right? You can tell me your ideas and we can help you." Prince Albert said.&1t;/p>

"Do you know? If the news of our peace talks with the British spread, two countries would be very unhappy, one is called France and the other is called America!"&1t;/p>

"Because this is a secret talk between countries, the only thing involved is between two countries. The British will not discuss the French when they talk to us. So, when the French get the news, their first feeling is that the British betray them! Of course, the British will not admit it. But this is not important, as long as the French think so. They have sufficient reasons to think that this is the beginning of the British betrayal, because even if our bombs are thrown into London instead of Paris, the British are still much better than the French! In this crisis, the French are likely to take a crucial step for us!"&1t;/p>

"Your Highness, you seem to hate England more than my father." Prince Albert said.&1t;/p>

"My hatred for Britain comes from his hostility and harm to the empire. The Allies were established with the agitation and support of the British. In the Allies system, the British were the most powerful. Therefore, if we cannot severely damage Britain, then even if we defeat Russia and France, we still cannot be considered a complete victory, because defeating France and Russia only determined the empire's dominance in Europe. If we severely damage Britain, the empire can gain the right to sail freely in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean!"&1t;/p>

"If the Empire was a big six country before the war, then after the war, the Empire would learn how to become a big six, ocean-type compound country. If you want to enter and exit the North Sea freely, you must severely damage the United Kingdom. This heavy damage is all-round, not only national strength, military strength and economy, but also in terms of population, we also need to make the British people bleeding more, because only in this way can we fundamentally weaken the power of the future Britain and make the British public feel afraid of the Empire! Let the British government be afraid of the war!" said the prince.&1t;/p>

"Let me say that, even if the British agreed to all the conditions I eliminated, and even if the next battle would bring more than 30,000 casualties to the empire, I still decided to take this battle because I planned to bring more than 60,000 casualties to the British! I don't even want the British to surrender! Because that would give me no chance to destroy them!" Ruprecht said firmly.&1t;/p>

"I can understand His Highness's attitude towards Britain and how he deals with it. But for the French, you seem to be inclined to be lenient. Is this really good?" said Prince Albert.&1t;/p>

"The so-called leniency is also in comparison. If my attitude towards the British was to force them to sign the underworld alliance, then for the French, we can let him continue to be a second-rate power, retain most of their colonies, and at the same time, he is willing to leave some face to the proud French."&1t;/p>

"We can guarantee the integrity of French territory and withdraw troops from Belgium. We can even consider just symbolically separating some from the French and African colonies. However, as a punishment for the enemy, France should pay for the losses they caused to the empire in the war! For example, providing a large amount of interest-free loans and signing trade agreements on the colonies. Back then, during the French-Prussian War, the empire received 500 million francs from the French. This time, I plan to obtain 500 million francs of interest-free and low-interest loans from the French!" Ruprecht said.&1t;/p>

(If you think this number is too high, you can check the total amount of compensation paid by the Allies after the end of World War I in history. The prince's attitude towards the French is that death penalty can be avoided, and a living penalty cannot be escaped.)&1t;/p>

"Your Highness, do you think your tolerance can be grateful to the French? Can you be sure that this is not a problem with raising a tiger?" said Prince Albert.&1t;/p>

"First, we can be sure that the French are not stupid. After the end of the Franco-Prussian War and before the beginning of the war, France clamored for revenge against Germany more than once. But what was the result? We spent more than 30 years of peace. Even though the French used franc loans to establish extraordinary friendship with the Russians, the French still knew that they were not opponents of Germany. However, when the British and French reached an understanding, the war broke out in less than 7 years! It can be seen that the British played a crucial role in it! The British performed on the battlefield and their reputation as the world's largest power, they supported almost all battlefields except the six battles." The prince said.&1t;/p>
