Chapter 2003 American Ambassador
"What's going on?" When Prime Minister Ribo and Betton walked into the French president's office, they saw a person who should never appear here. The person sitting next to French President Armand Falier was not any of the French officials they knew, or even French! But the US ambassador to France!
"I will introduce you to you. This is Prime Minister Ribo. You should have met. This is Chief of Staff of General Staff of Betton." President Armand said to the US ambassador.
"Okay, let's save us time of politeness. The situation has changed a lot now, and it's even disastrous for your country. There are differences within Germany in future strategies, and this time, Crown Prince Ruprecht seems to be in a very unfavorable state. The Germans and the British reached some understanding and began to implement it. If this direction continues, the Germans' heavy hammer may hit your country, and what's more terrifying is that your country may have to pay a large enough price to end the war." The American ambassador said seriously.
"The understanding has been reached? So quickly?" Prime Minister Ribo said in surprise.
"Yes, the Germans informed us of some content. The German Western Front Corps seemed to be ready to launch an attack on your country. The British drove a large number of German merchant ships seized before to Spain as a neutral plaza. Our Spanish personnel also confirmed this. After the ships arrived in Spain, they temporarily closed some key compartments and removed some parts as collateral. If Britain and Germany could reach an agreement on the issue of war, then all these ships would have to be returned to Germany. Now, according to our news, in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, the British and German representatives had met at least once, and the British representatives may go to Brussels and meet with Crown Prince Ruprecht." The American ambassador said. "So, for your country, it is now a very critical moment."
"Didn't the United States of America have a good relationship with Germany? At the same time, we also have good intentions to us. We should stop the closeness between Britain and Germany. At the beginning, didn't your government say that it could guarantee France's territory and interests? If your country could lend a helping hand, we would give you enough rewards." Prime Minister Ribo was a little panicked.
"We can accept your country's request before. As long as your country can end the war," President Armand also said.
"Sorry, we cannot completely break up for France and the Germans. In the past, we could indeed put pressure on the Germans as intermediaries, but on the European continent, if the German legion decides to crush whom, we can do nothing. Perhaps the United States Congress and Germany will have an opposition on certain issues later, but this opposition will have no effect on your country, because France was already done by then!" said the American ambassador.
The so-called "German let France go and severely hurt Britain," and gaining benefits from the British was the most in line with Germany and the United States. The Germans severely damaged the most important enemy, and the Americans also used the Germans to avenge their first revenge in the Philippines, and at the same time ruled out the influence of the British when they fought with the Japanese. The Americans were also willing to pay more for this plan. This plan is mutually beneficial to the United States and Germany. It is the most rational choice. It is also the plan made by Ruprecht before.
But, what does it mean? You can't always expect your friends to be rational! Ruprecht can make the decision that is most beneficial to both the United States and Germany. However, this does not mean that other hills or powerful people in Germany can also make the most suitable decision! And more importantly, Americans cannot guarantee that the French can make rational decisions at this critical node!
That's right, this time, in the eyes of the Americans, one-third of the reason why the Germans made this decision was from Germany, and the other third of the reason was the British's low attitude. The last third of the reason was that the French were too unreasonable! Their capital was soon unable to be preserved. At this time, as long as they cooperated with the Germans, the war could end, and the Americans would be more convenient to be this middleman, and then they made a fuck from it based on the principle of eating the plaintiff and eating the defendant. This result was definitely a happy relationship between the United States, Germany and France, and then they only cheated the British, but now? Madan! The situation is completely different!
Ruprecht's kindness to the French was not rewarded. This is not only a matter of making the crown prince very shameless, but also a challenge to his internal authority. Other German factions have many reasons to criticize the French. The reason is very simple. The French do not want to surrender, and France is the best to deal with! Who do you do not hit you at this time? Perhaps no one in Germany believes that they can cross the English Channel, but more than 90% of German soldiers are still full of confidence in entering Paris. In this case, it is normal for Ruprecht to make adjustments. Moreover, if analyzed from the perspective of personal personality, as a real ruler, at some point, their emotions will be directly reflected in decision-making. According to the domineering aura that the prince had developed at the beginning, the French's unworthy behavior may have really angered Ruprecht. At this time, the British extended an olive branch!
As for the influence of the Americans? Although Ruprecht knew that the previous plan was the best, this plan was not the only one! When it could not be implemented due to various resistances, as a German with good cards, he could choose something else! In fact, the bottom line of the Americans is very low. As long as Germany does not completely destroy France, even in some cases, it is barely acceptable to let the Germans enter Paris and then squeeze the last drop of oil and water from the French... There is no way, who will make the Americans rely on the Germans to fight the Japanese? And the United States has absolutely no reason to officially start a war with the Germans for France, right? Unless the Germans want to completely kill Britain and France, because it is too terrible to control the entire Europe Germany. Of course, this is almost impossible. Because the Germans do not have such strong power, and there is no such idea.
In general, the bottom line of the Americans is that Britain and France will not perish. At the same time, after the war, at least one country can restrain Germany. As long as it does not touch this bottom line, the Americans will not really break up with the Germans. In fact, Ruprecht's idea before was to severely damage Britain's tolerance of France, which is the same as the Americans thought. France retains its vitality and can restrain Germany, and the United States is very willing to see the British looking half-dead!
