Chapter 2840 Break and Compromise 1
In the end, Lisa Khan chose to cooperate with the Germans, so many of the remaining things became natural! With the help of Lisa Khan, a large amount of information about the cooperation between the Americans and the Russians in Persia was sent to Germany. After research and modification, related matters spread in Germany through newspapers, radio and other channels! The United States' approach, which was obviously a breach of the alliance, naturally aroused the anger of the German government and the people! Major newspapers used a full-page space to describe what Americans did in the Middle East, and strongly demanded that the government cut off their alliance with the Americans. This storm came so quickly that even some people in the German center were unexpected.
But it doesn't matter. After Crown Prince Ruprecht first expressed his meaningless judgment on the United States-German alliance, the German Emperor also mentioned in the meeting held in Wuyou Palace that Germany would fight back against the United States' behavior in the Middle East! Under the influence of the two major states of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Prussia and the public opinion, this trend instantly became unstoppable. After weighing the trade-offs, the Prussian Federation also expressed its willingness to support the central government's opinions, so the matter was successfully passed in the Imperial Parliament.
"Mr. Ambassador, your country's actions in the Middle East have seriously damaged the interests of the empire and the security of allies. We have actually transferred from ally relations to semi-hostile relations. In this case, according to the terms signed by both sides, the military cooperation between the two countries has ended. Therefore, we will withdraw all personnel and equipment belonging to the empire from the Pacific War Zone within a week! And the warships that our country has not delivered will be temporarily detained." The new German Prince Baden said this when summoning the US ambassador.
"I think there are some misunderstandings between us. Believe me, if the alliance between the two countries ends at this time, it will not be good news for us. Your country also needs economic assistance from the United States. Moreover, it should be mentioned that we have provided funds for warships that have not been delivered, and at this time your country detains them is not in line with business practices." US Ambassador Paulson said.
"I just informed your country of our decision, rather than discussing with you whether to terminate the alliance. You can keep your own views on this matter, and your country can choose to retaliate. We don't care." The sarcasm and ridicule in Prince Baden's words made the ambassador very upset. The latter had no choice but to pass the contents of the notes to the country and wait for the arrangements in the country.
"I have to say that the Germans were too decisive and too sudden. How could they make such a big change suddenly? This is not common sense, and I really want to know whether the things said in the newspaper are true?" Lan Xin, Secretary of State in charge of diplomacy, said to Roosevelt. His words also faintly contained dissatisfaction with Roosevelt because Roosevelt had concealed many things.
"To be honest, this incident also came to my expectations. I didn't expect the Germans to take such fierce measures. I thought they would temporarily endure it for the sake of the US dollar." Old Roosevelt frowned and said, "To be honest, he was going to fight against the Germans at the right time, but this definitely did not mean that the two sides were directly hostile before the Pacific War ended! This is not a joke. Although the Americans think they have a great advantage, they will never be arrogant enough to think that they can defeat the Japanese Navy with German support. To be honest, no matter how fast you explode the warships, it is impossible for the US Navy to fight the German and Japanese fleets at the same time, right? That's asking for death!
"What should I do now? The Germans have begun to withdraw their military forces from the Pacific Ocean. The alliance between the two sides is actually no longer there, and we may face the possibility of enemies on all sides! Just this morning, General Pershing and General Sims, representing the US 6th Army and the Navy, respectively, demand that the government must be restrained, at least to keep the Germans neutral! And warn that if Germany officially announces its support for Japan, the US 6th Army will consider withdrawing Pearl Harbor!"
"Roosevelt, tell me, what are you going to end when this incident happened?" Lan Xin asked.
"The Germans will not support Japan. Japan is a member of the Allies. Although the war has ended, there is still a hostile relationship between them." Taft on the side tried to save Old Roosevelt.
"I think at this time, the Japanese are definitely willing to pay some price in exchange for German understanding and even support. Damn, we were about to kill the Japanese, so why can't you wait too much, and then fall apart with the Germans after the Pacific War? And I want to know, how could the Germans know about your connection with the Russians?" Lan Xin said.
"We have many people in Persia, and we need to transport a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the Russian army, which need to be unloaded and transported. Hundreds or even thousands of vehicles, armored vehicles and tanks on the road are difficult to hide when walking on the road." Taft said embarrassedly.
"Okay, I was wrong. I thought some people were acting carelessly, but in fact, the people who made this plan had problems with their heads. They treated the Germans as fools and blind men! You forgot that this was doing something at the doorstep of the Germans!" Lan Xin said mercilessly.
"Okay, all this is my fault. I underestimated the Germans. They did respond slowly in some things, but because of their trust in their military power, their response to this provocation was unusually swift. Our plan was lacking. But it was not a complete failure. At least the Germans did not mention Turkey. At least our actions in Turkey were still smooth. Or the Germans did not like Turkey. Their best spokespersons in Turkey were gone. They are very likely to want to collapse the empire," said Roosevelt.
"So how can we save the current situation?" Lan Xin asked.
"It feels difficult to save me. The Germans seem to want to terminate this alliance more than we do." Old Roosevelt said with a gloomy face.
"Does the Germans really care about the hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and aid every year?" Taft said with a snorkeling. He seemed to be very confident in the power of the dollar.
"They terminated the alliance, and they terminated their military obligations. At this time, do we dare to completely stop the economic loan?" Old Roosevelt said with a glance at Taft.
