The current situation has become a heavy blow to France and a peace talk with the UK. This still does not touch the bottom line of the Americans, because Britain and France did not perish. As an island country, Britain retains a lot of vitality and can still restrain Germany. This is also within the bottom line! However, this is definitely not what the Americans want to see... Not to mention anything else, if the British sold a batch of warships to Japan in order to recover their health after the war, it would be a great threat to the United States!

"We know that the conditions that Crown Prince Ruprecht gave to you are a bit harsh, but they are definitely the best choice at the moment. When I come here, I can only tell you one thing, that is, accept this condition, and then we, as intermediaries, help your country, as the reward for the help you gave us when your country was independent in the United States of America. That's all we can do." The American ambassador said.

"Well, then it's too late?" Bedam said suddenly.

"How could it be too late? If you make a decision, we can contact Crown Prince Ruprecht through special channels now!" said the US ambassador.

"No, you don't understand military. Once the military deployment is determined, even if there are some accidents, as long as it is not particularly large, the whole plan will continue, because it is related to millions of troops, tens of thousands of artillery, thousands of aircraft, and millions of tons of supplies. Changes in the morning and night will cause terrible chaos, just like an overloaded car is difficult to brake. Once the Germans decide, it may be difficult to change their minds." Baitang explained.

"If this is the case, we can only do our best." The American ambassador was stunned at first, and then said. "If this is the case, I hope the French troops on the front line can perform better."

"So now, I want to make sure that your country is ready to accept the request made by Germany? Once Germany decides to launch an attack on Britain, will the French army release a 20-kilometer gap at the junction of the British and French armies?" said the US ambassador.

"We agree in principle." President Armand said after thinking.

"You are playing with fire!" The American ambassador laughed angry. "Dear President Armand, everything the United States of America does is guaranteed with its own dignity and credibility. Both ends of your head will directly lead to the loss of American reputation! This is not only a provocation to Germany, but also a provocation to the United States!"

"I can now tell you clearly that if you cannot provide a formal statement signed and sealed by the President and the main members of the Cabinet, then we will refuse to participate in this matter. Anyway, France is the one who died, not us." The American ambassador said righteously.

"Give us two more days," said President Armand.

"You are finished!" The American ambassador said in his heart, leaving expressionlessly. Now the American ambassador also admires the French in his heart! It is really not easy to be so "calm" at this time!

"It's best to make this decision as soon as possible. What I said before is not a joke." Betton admired his presidential lord. During the election that year, Betton voted for this guy. Now he really doubted whether he chose him because he had just shook his head.

"I have said that I agree in principle, but I need to consider the specific details carefully. I wonder, is there any way for us to complete the things we agreed with the Germans, and also avoid betrayal of our allies?" said President Armand.

"For example, we keep less troops on the defense line and then order the artillery to fire a few shots? This at least means we have resisted." Looking at Beta, who had a gray face, President Armand explained. This is the ending he wanted most. How could he sell the British without taking the blame?

"This is indeed the brains of a politician, and only you can come up with this kind of solution." Betan's words revealed a hint of contempt. "The result of doing this is that both ends are not pleasing, because the British will still think we have betrayed them, and the Germans will also think we are causing trouble!"

"Mr. Armand, I remind you that what you do is not a lawsuit within the scope of the law. Criminals can rely on incomplete evidence to escape the charges. The British will not forgive us for some cover-ups we have done."

"By the same token, the Germans would not agree with our approach just because we withdrew most of the troops. They would only see that the troops we left behind caused some trouble to the advancement of the German army. Political fences are often the most unlucky, and this principle is the same for national or military use." Betton said.

"Don't just think about taking advantage of the odds, because it has no effect! Do you know what I am most worried about now? What I am most worried about is what if the Germans make more demanding this time!" Beta's words brought President Armand and Prime Minister Ribo into the ice cave!

"More harsh conditions? Isn't it harsh enough to let us relax a 20-kilometer front for the Germans?" Prime Minister Ribo said in horror.

"What if the Germans ask us to point guns at the British?" Betan said with a complicated expression. This is not impossible, because the negotiation conditions between the two sides have changed. Before, the Germans might have been satisfied and let the French set a line of defense, and then they will do the rest themselves. But now, when the Germans are full of good cards and when the Germans are about to start the operation, the French will seek peace again. Then the previous conditions may not be able to satisfy the other party's appetite.

"If the Germans had put forward this condition, I think the Americans would probably support it very much! They would like to see all the British expeditionary forces destroyed in France." Betton added.

"This is impossible. It is a problem for us to give up a front line, and if we let our former friendly soldiers face each other, it is another problem! This will destroy the remaining and prestige accumulated by France hundreds of years ago!" Although President Armand was ready to accept the suggestion of letting go of the defense line at this time, it does not mean that he has no bottom line. If he turns around and jumps to the German side to deal with the Germans, he will really be unable to overcome this hurdle in his mind.

"First contact the Germans according to the previous negotiation conditions. Also, contact the British. I want to know what they want to do?" President Armand still had a slight fantasy about the British. Or the strength of the British is deeply rooted in the hearts of this generation of French people! They don't believe that the British will admit defeat!

Just when the French made the most difficult decision, Belford and his party had already arrived in Brussels. At the German Western Front Base Camp, Belford met Prince Ruprecht for the first time!
