"If the British were willing to surrender, your country also asked us to launch a decisive battle against the British Royal Navy [31 Novel Network        Update Quickly], I have to consider your country's starting point, whether to drive the wolf and swallow the tiger, and let both Germany and Britain suffer losses, or have any other ideas? War is for profit, not for simple killing." Ruprecht said.

"Can you use revenge explain the original intention of the United States? For the sake of the United States naval officers and soldiers and marines who died in vain in the Battle of the Philippines!" said Taft.

"Then why, when we fought bloody battles with the Allies, your country did not participate? Then why are there still your country's transport ships transporting supplies for the British? This reason is not valid." Ruprecht shook his head and said.

"This is just a business act," Taft frowned and said, "In this war, we are firmly on your side. Can this not explain the problem?"

"This risk is too great for the Empire. Each battleship costs more than 2.5 million pounds, and what is more precious are the officers and soldiers above. Every officer and soldier in key positions has served for at least 6 years. They are the most precious wealth of the Imperial Navy and the future of the Imperial Navy! I cannot let them become victims of politics or some kind of conspiracy in vain." Ruprecht said.

"Okay, it seems that this problem is difficult to deal with. Let's change our thinking! I have always believed that everything in the world is the exchange of interests! There is no loyalty in this world, it is just that the interests of betrayal are not high enough, and it is also difficult. It is just that the reward is not rich enough! Let us regard this matter as a business, we have made a request, you can offer it!" Taft thought for three minutes, and finally what he said surprised everyone! This is equivalent to tearing off the last face of both sides! The so-called friendship and warmth are no longer there, and only the purest exchange of interests is left!

"Your Highness, if you think about it, the decision you make will directly affect the economic situation of Bavaria and even Germany in the future. Germany is unprecedentedly powerful now, but there are not enough money in its pocket! In this world, it is not only swords that determine the power! So is money!" Taft said coldly!

"I repeat again. On the premise that the British meet our conditions, severe damage to the British fleet is just a plus point question. For the empire, such a choice is optional. If you think you can use money to deal with everything, then you can try how much money can make the Japanese spit out the Dutch East India!" Ruprecht retorted.

"Dear Crown Prince, Mr. Taft's words are a bit fierce, and it may be a bit inappropriate here, but we still have to see a problem, that is, if the large fleet still exists, then it is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing for both of us. After your elite fleet enters the Pacific Ocean, an extremely large fleet blocks the gates of your country. This threat is too great. If your country wants to enter the ocean, it will ultimately not be able to avoid the large fleet. Therefore, it is also very beneficial to your country's future development to deal with the heavy damage to your country. And have you not brought the high seas fleet to the high seas several times before?" General Benson, who was standing beside him, jumped out to smooth things over.

"I understand your country's concerns, and we also know this issue. We will also consider this issue when conditions are right, but if we want to force us to do something, then this is impossible. The Imperial High Seas Fleet is not a mercenary, and we must do this kind of thing if you pay for it." Ruprecht said.

"If I remember correctly, your country will have an additional reward for pilots. It seems that it is a reward for 6,000 marks for a fighter, which is about 300 pounds, right?" Taft asked.

"That's it." Ruprecht said calmly.

"Then it's better. For every British Fearless or Super Fearless Battleship sinking, we can pay you $10 million, which is about £4 million before the war! And if you lose a warship, we can also pay a compensation of $10 million! In the decisive battle with the British Navy fleet, we will give you $2,000 in compensation for every German naval officer and soldier who died in battle! As for the sunken light cruisers and destroyers, there will be corresponding quotes. What do you think?" Taft said.

"Holding the grass, you really do whatever you want to have money!" Prince Albert was really shocked! It turns out that Americans can still play like this? You should know that the 4 million pounds before the war was quite valuable. The normal cost of Queen Elizabeth-class battleships was only 2.5 million pounds. The so-called 3 million pounds in history followed the battleship cost soared after the currency depreciation and the rush to work. And now, when the pound, mark, and franc depreciated one after another due to the war, the value of the US dollar was even higher. If Ruprecht could replicate the grand occasion of the Dogersan Battle, then the Germans could make at least 100 million US dollars. In this case, it would be impossible to say that they were not moved!

"This price is low," Ruprecht said coldly. "If I am right, your country's so-called payment of $10 million should be paid by debt relief. And if I remember correctly, these debts were generated by the Empire's purchase of your country's supplies, and the price of buying these goods was inflated. When considering the tariff issue of passing the customs, we actually bought about $7 for $10. Of course, I still express my gratitude for your country's support during the war."

"But you have a very clear sentence just now. We can regard this negotiation as a transaction. Since it is a transaction, we should follow the principle of fairness and voluntariness. If you offer a price, we can bargain. You can issue a bid, and we can also refuse. Do you think it is? Mr. Taft?" said Ruprecht.

It is true that the United States and Germany are allied in war, but there are many small means from both sides. Especially before, under the advantage of the United States, Americans did a lot of things such as using a lower price to acquire German assets around the world and raising prices for excess profits. And this so-called "bounty" payment method also offset the previous debt. And the previous debt? As the prince said, the materials obtained from the 10 million US dollars are actually very water. Now, as the entire situation gradually changes and Germany is gradually taking advantage, based on the principle that you can do the first day of the lunar month and I can do the fifteenth. Now it is time for the Germans to make a fortune!
