Almost all countries in the world are considering the issue after the war, such as the British, the French, the Germans, and the Americans! When the news of the surrender of the British Expeditionary Force reached the United States, Theodore Roosevelt immediately summoned his staff to discuss this matter with the top Americans. After all, the real ending is right in front of us, and the United States also wants to establish an international environment that is more beneficial to itself! Not only for the interests of the United States after the war, but also for the imminent Pacific War!

So, the three troikas of the United States of America: President Theodore Roosevelt, Vice President Taft, and Secretary of State Robert Lanxin sat in the presidential office again. In addition to these politicians, Pershing represented the US Army and Benson also participated in the meeting on behalf of the US Navy. The topics discussed at this meeting were the US policies after the war ended and the future Pacific War issues.

"The British Army has completely failed. The Germans hold more than 600,000 British prisoners of war (including previous prisoners). If the Germans don't offer a very high price, then the British government will consider how to end the war." Secretary of State Robert Lanxin sighed after putting the report in his hand on the table.

"So how much information do we have now about the asking price of the Germans? And the British's ability to bear it? These are all very important, and are directly related to the strategic choices of post-war Britain and our interests." Taft asked on the side.

"We had the negotiations between the two sides when the first meeting between Britain and Germany. Of course, it was very early and the French had not collapsed. The Germans made a request to eat the entire southern and southern Britain, but the British naturally did not agree. The British just wanted to give Uganda and southern Sudan to the Germans. As for the compensation, neither side mentioned it. And now? We have no intelligence." Robert Lanxin said.

"This time, if the Germans proposed the plan remained unchanged, the British would probably accept it, right? But in fact, I think the Germans will continue to increase their demands. After all, war is a winner-takes-all game. The Germans did a good job, and no country has ever forced the British Empire to this level!" said Taft.

"I am even willing to let the Germans beat the British even more miserably, force them to the end of the cliff, and preferably fall completely from the throne. In this way, we can obtain a large amount of legacy of the collapse of the British Empire, and even turn Britain into our agents in Europe. Germany is too powerful and we cannot control it, but the down-and-out Britain is a good choice." Taft expressed his long-hidden thoughts!

"As a member of the Navy, as a veteran who has fought in the Battle of the Philippines, I do not accept the surrender of the British! And to be honest, the British cannot bring much convenience to our future actions." General Benson said coldly.

"Genius General, I can understand your personal feelings, but from the perspective of the United States, if we can cooperate with the United Kingdom, it will be very beneficial to our future strategy. You should know that Germany is ambitious, and the Atlantic Ocean between each other cannot keep our two countries safe." The Secretary of State said in a tactful tone.

"I understand this, but, I would like to ask, if we have established a relatively good relationship with the British, what will the Germans think? Even according to your ideas, if we add British allies here, what will the Germans do to the Japanese? Mr. Taft believes that money is omnipotent, but in fact it is not the case. Will Germany be short of money after the war? They can get too much war reparations from the British, French, and even Russians! The Germans have escaped the quagmire of war, but we are going to war. The situation on both sides is completely different!" General Benson sneered.

"I will say the last thing that the naval combat plan and equipment training system are ready to connect with the German army, and there is no preparation for cooperation with the British. Once you decide to recruit the British as allies, all our combat plans will be brought down and started over! All the problems caused by this must be the responsibility of the government." General Benson said at last.

"Mr. Taft and Mr. Robert just said a possibility, not the decision we made now." At this moment, Roosevelt finally came out to smooth things over. Originally, the military's position in the American political system was not particularly high. But how to say it, there is a saying that people who are close to Zhu are red, while people who are close to Moon are black. The relationship between the United States and Germany is indeed good now, so there will definitely be some influence between them. For the United States, which is about to face war, the greatest influence of the German Empire on the United States of America is the improvement of military status, and the war process dominated by soldiers rather than politicians in the war.

There is no way, the combat effectiveness of the German professional officers is too high. War is a honest problem and there is no need to be careless. Let’s see if it is as strong as the British Royal Navy? With Churchill, a naval minister who is not from the navy, the once extremely powerful fleet has been beaten to the point where it is impossible to find the north. As for the army? This is even more so! Lloyd George was once the Minister of the Army. Under his leadership, the British Expeditionary Force has now entered the prisoner-of-war camp... This is the lesson of the past, this is the bloody lesson.

Therefore, although the US Secretary of Defense is still a civil servant, the military officer can already reject all war plans or ideas proposed by the civil servant. If the current situation is, you can be friendly with the UK. I don’t care about this, but I can reject all war plans that cooperate with the British military for unrealistic or other reasons! As for the reasons? Do you politicians understand military affairs? Just fool them!

Of course, there is a big difference between the United States and Germany, that is, those who understand military have little political influence. The US government lacks people like Ruprecht and Albrecht, Wurttemberg, who have huge influence in both military and political terms. Therefore, at present, Germany has a good combination of military and political affairs, while there are some problems with the US military and political docking.

"Although General Benson said something heavy, I generally support the opinions of the navy. It is indeed not cost-effective to offend Germany for Britain at this time. There is a saying in Europe that we always have to stand on the side of the winner. According to Mr. Taft, it is not cost-effective to offend the winner for a loser, especially when we are about to face war." said the old black man Pershing.
