Chapter 2276 US-UK Negotiation 2

"Mr. Envoy, the United States will be the winner of the war, and the winner can control everything the loser has, whether it is a colony, resources or wealth! I believe that the rich fruits after the end of this war can completely make up for the losses of your country in the war." Robert Lanxin said.

"So I want to know, what is your definition of victory in the war? Is it to retrieve the colony that Germany promised to you, or to expel Japan from Dutch Indonesia? Or to regain the Philippines? Your country has been planning for this war for at least three years, right? Is it not difficult to set a basic war goal, right?" Lloyd George said.

"Japan should go back to their island! Guinea, the Netherlands East India, and the Philippines should not have Japanese footprints. If possible, we want to follow General Matthew Perry and walk around the Japanese's doorstep!" Robert Lanxin did not hide his hatred for Japan!

Regarding Robert Lanxin's speech, Lloyd George really wanted to ask Americans, have your ideas been approved by the Germans... Who gave you so much confidence? Among the first-class powers, you Americans have the worst record. What level do you have in your mind?

"If we agree on this issue, then I want to know what help the US government can provide to allies to help us survive the most difficult period?" Although Lloyd George was dismissive of the Americans' so-called strategic goals, Japan seems to be able to give up in the UK, as long as the Americans offer enough consideration! If the Americans can advance the losses of the British colonial war, then it is not impossible for the United States and Britain to form an alliance! Of course, the premise is that the Americans can handle the Germans.

So now, for British people who are businessmen, since the United States has made a request, the United Kingdom should give a quote. How much do Americans plan to give this quote?

"We can provide your country with more than $1 billion in loans. Interest rates will be lower than the current average, to repay war reparations and restore production in your country." Robert Lanxin said. This amount is about 400 million pounds of loans, which seems to be a lot, but in fact it does not say when to pay. You should know that in history, the United States' net expenditure in 1916 was only $674 million, and the amount of this loan is not small.

Let’s talk about history. During World War I, the United States’ foreign investment increased from US$3 billion to US$15 billion, loans to the Allies reached US$10 billion, and the supplies provided were worth US$10.5 billion! It would not be an exaggeration to say that it made a lot of money in World War I.

As for this plane, the US government also made a lot of money, but it was just a little worse than in history. The goods given to the Allies were worth US$7 billion, and the loan amount was as high as US$5 billion. After all, the war time was relatively short... The Germans won cleanly, so the United States had fewer chances to make a fortune! Of course, these goods and loans also made the American economy unprecedentedly powerful. If the Americans were willing, it would be fine to give higher loans. But now the problem is that the European War is over, and the Americans themselves have to keep money to prepare for the war! Moreover, as a former enemy, it is quite difficult to convince the US Parliament to provide a huge amount of loans to the British government!

"The first time I offered $1 billion? It's a little less." Lloyd George said with a frown.

"Are you kidding? The US$1 billion can make the United States government operate for one and a half years." Lan Xin sneered. Her words were full of dissatisfaction with the greed of the British.

"However, £400 million is not even enough for the imperial government to fight a two-month war!" Lloyd George said. "Even the Germans are not as good as the fraction of compensation. I think as allies, you should be more aware of the Germans' appetite? They should have mentioned to you the benefits of this war."

"If you choose to stop the war before the Norwegian Sea Battle, you will need to compensate 3 billion pounds, and now, the price is estimated to be less than 4 billion pounds, that is, 80 billion Empire Marks. It does not include interest on deferred payments." Lan Xin said frankly.

"So, 400 million pounds of aid is far from enough for us. This amount of money cannot even stay in the imperial account for a day and will be transferred to the Germans." Lloyd George could already feel that the Americans did not seem to continue to increase money, but he did not want to end the negotiations like this, so he tried to change direction.

"If your country can reduce the German compensation to 2 billion pounds, the United States will gain the friendship and full help of the British Empire in future wars, and we will work together to create a new future." Lloyd George said earnestly.

"This is impossible. If someone wants to take away their 2 billion pounds of wealth from the Germans, it is equivalent to starting a war!" Lan Xin said loudly, his words full of surprise and a hint of anger, because in his opinion, he felt that the British envoy was teasing him! Teasing him with conditions that the Americans could not agree to! Lan Xin felt that his IQ was insulted!

"His Excellency Secretary, let us look at this issue from the perspective of the interests of the United States. The Germans obtained at least 1 million square kilometers of land from the Eastern Front! The area of ​​Germany has expanded three times! Now, the power of a Bavarian kingdom is stronger than that of France! And there are three such forces within Germany! There are also the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Now, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is really worthy of the title of Empire. They took away most of Ukraine! As well as part of the land in Poland, Romania, and Belarus!"

"In addition to the African colonies we lost, there are the world's largest gold mines, diamond mines, rich copper mines, non-ferrous metals and various natural resources! After this war, Germany has grown into a behemoth! All they lack is time and money. If the help of money can allow them to digest these spoils, then Germany and Austria will become the most powerful existence on the planet, even in the most powerful field of your country - industrial scale and economy. Therefore, for the future of the United States, we must also limit Germany's benefits."

"We can even exchange the interests of the British Empire's colonial trade, so that the British Empire shed less blood and allowed us to recover faster, so that we can better fight against Germany. Of course, now it is against Japan. Help us reduce compensation and save southern Africa, we will become real allies. A powerful alliance across the Atlantic Ocean will make us fearless!" Lloyd George said earnestly.
