"But your country has also raised tariffs on importing food and raw materials from the United States," said Lansing.

"Is it okay for both sides to lower the original standards at the same time?" the crown prince said with a smile.

If taxes are reduced at the same time, it will definitely be the United States' loss. The reason is very simple. If Germany had to obtain necessary copper or other raw materials from the United States before or during the war, then what raw materials could not be met by the German Empire, which has now expanded unprecedentedly? So, now the problem is that even if tariffs are reduced, the competitiveness of the United States' raw materials will be greatly weakened.

As for the products exported by Germany to the United States? In most chemical products, especially synthetic dyes, Germany is the top in the world. Even during World War I, Germany's large-scale submarine trade used dyes to exchange products from other countries. This aspect formed a huge advantage for American products. After reducing tariffs, Americans will definitely suffer.

As for the automotive field? Although Ford T-mobile reduced the price of cars to a very low level and opened up an era. However, in this plane, the German automobile industry was several levels higher than in history due to government support and the stimulation of war. In addition, after the war, all social classes obtained a large amount of war manuscripts, so they also had the idea and ability to buy cars. The large-scale expansion of the empire territory also caused the society to demand for cars to soar. Therefore, although the scale of the German automobile industry was not as large as that of the United States in this era, the gap was not large.

In terms of personal car sales, Germany has an advantage in exporting American cars, and this advantage comes more from German cars targeting high-end fields. Ford T-model is cheap, but the same-sized shape cannot meet the needs and vanity of people of the American middle class and above level!

Vehicles produced in Germany and designed for special groups are very attractive to Americans of this era. After all, if a rich man said that the car I bought was the same as the Bavarian royal family, then it must be unique. It is higher than the simple Ford T-mobile car. I don’t know how many levels it has. The star effect or aristocratic style has existed since ancient times. You can compare the luxury goods of the French.

The crown prince understood these problems, and Lansing also understood! He knew that if everyone lowered the tariffs, the United States would definitely suffer a loss. But then again, this time, Americans were at a disadvantage in negotiations. How could it be possible if they wanted to do things without losing a little?

This time, the Americans were asking the Germans to do their business. Although the Americans had considered to fill the warships they needed from Italy or even France, unfortunately, without the support of the Germans, these two countries would definitely not be able to make up the fast fleets needed by the Americans. South Dakota was changed to a fast battleship and then served at least one year. How did you let the Americans survive this period? The war was delayed by one year before fighting? I wonder if the money spent every day during the war was huge? And who knew what changes would happen in the war situation a year later? These uncertain factors led to the Americans daring to bet at all!

"We can talk about this issue. We can first reduce the tariffs on cars." Lansing said after hesitating. After all, some cars imported from Germany are luxury goods. After the reduction, the demand is relatively limited. Chemical products are bulk products. This opening cannot be opened easily, so let's talk about it slowly first.

"Yes, in return, we will prepare the corresponding warships for your country to choose. If you choose, you can maintain and modify it at an optional time. Of course, if your country does not require modification, we can also send some of the crew members to come over first and then conduct preliminary training." The crown prince said.

"We need to obtain these warships as soon as possible. Time is everything. If it is too late, so that the United States' own fast battleships are in service, then these warships are not necessary. I think you should understand this very well, right?" Lansing said.

"The right to choose is in your hands. As long as the agreement has not been signed in the final form, you can decide whether to buy it." The crown prince seemed to care no matter what.

"In addition, we need a larger number of aircraft engines and wolf tanks, and if we can, we want to buy production lines and product production licenses," Lansing said.

"Aero engines can continue to be provided according to your requirements, but the production authorization of the wolf tank may be a bit troublesome. After all, this is the core equipment in the Imperial Army, and the diesel engine technology involved is also a core technology. In a short period of time, your country will not be able to produce products of the same level." The crown prince said.

"Then let's buy the whole vehicle first. We may need more than 700 wolf tanks and related accessories and services in the future, and we must undergo modifications for tropical combat." Lansing said.

"We can do these naturally," said the crown prince.

At this point in the negotiation, the big guys have set the tone, so what is left is the exchange of various technical levels. The meeting has not exceeded Lansing's expectations. The Germans do want to take advantage of this opportunity to knock the United States once, but they don't mind providing equipment to the United States. Instead, they are strictly guarding against helping directly dispatching fleets. This surprised Lansing and even felt a little annoyed, because, in the dark, it seems that the Germans look down on the combat effectiveness of the US Navy too much? The Germans just said that if you give you the best equipment, you can't beat the German Navy's level!

But there is no way, the performance of the US Navy in the last battle is indeed a bit embarrassing. The Suxiong fleet is indeed the MVP of the previous battle. This is a fact that cannot be changed. So, Lansing thought about it and decided to ask tentatively, Ruprecht's view on future wars.

"Admiral Schell said that the Japanese might have to carry out long-distance combat operations in the future. How do you view this issue?" Lansing asked.

"That's certain, and it will start to be implemented soon. Maybe, when you wake up these days in Germany, you will see news that a certain transport fleet was attacked in the Pacific Ocean." The crown prince said very calmly.

"Uh, it's not that fast, the Japanese are not moving that fast, right? Their fleet has just been hit hard," said Lansing.

"Argument on the tongue is actually meaningless. War is a very scientific and serious matter. It is actually a science. Just like a formula, it is necessary to have any results at some point. It will be very difficult to explain some things to you. Why not, let us wait and see? Maybe, you can solve these problems yourself?" the crown prince said with a smile.
