"The United States participates in the war? Haha, don't joke. How could the Americans join in the war for this matter? They wish this war would take longer and more tragic, and then the European countries would be over together. The Americans are not friends of the Allies, but they are definitely not friends of the Allies." The prince smiled and said, but, believe me, Americans will regret giving up the pressure in the South Pacific.&1t;/p>

"Americans choose to ease, and we may be the most affected, but the losses of the United States are probably not big, right?" Kariput said.&1t;/p>

"Haha." The prince sneered. "For the two countries in confrontation, the strength of the opponent is equivalent to their own weakness. After the Japanese free up their hands, they will help the British with peace of mind. Do you really think that the Japanese are so kind? You guys are too underestimating the Japanese's ambitions."&1t;/p>

"Japan will never be satisfied with occupying some islands from the Pacific Ocean. To be honest, the value of these islands is more reflected in military strategy, which determines the strategic depth between the United States and Japan. However, the economic value is very small, so in order to make their wallet more abundant, they will definitely take other actions." The prince said.&1t;/p>

"So what do you think the Japanese will do?" Kariput asked.&1t;/p>

"In two days, you can just read the newspaper. Although you haven't published an article in the newspaper for a long time, this time, if the operation is good, it will have unexpected results!" The prince kept it a secret.&1t;/p>

A few days later, such a commentary article appeared in newspapers from Germany and some neutral countries. In the article, the author used extremely spicy writing to describe what Japan did. He also used very profound language to analyze the next possible strategic actions of Japan.&1t;/p>

"Japan, this demon from the East once again showed a hideous face in front of the world. They did not give up after seizing some of the colonies that our country had originally transferred to the United States. They even planned to swallow them all and resorted to force! The entire East Asia and Southeast Asia gradually fell into the control of this demon. Although the Japanese chose to retreat temporarily due to international pressure, they would never give up!"&1t;/p>

"When the Japanese advance eastward temporarily frustrated, these greedy hyenas will definitely choose a new direction as a breakthrough. In the north, they already have the Philippines and in the west, they are allies of the Japanese. So where will the Japanese want to show now? The answer is naturally the colony of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Far East!"&1t;/p>

"The Netherlands East India, what a vast land it is. It has a 6-land area of ​​nearly 20,000 square kilometers and a wider sea area. It has rich oil, rubber, copper ore and other non-ferrous metal resources, as well as tropical crops such as rice and sugar. The Kingdom of the Netherlands lacks the ability to protect all this. Faced with Japan, a country without any bottom line, it is simply unprepared!"&1t;/p>

"In peacetime, Japan may have been able to barely suppress the restlessness in its heart by taking the pressure from a big country, but now? Japan has changed from a small Far East country that resides in a corner to the most powerful country in the region! And Britain and France, which control most of Southeast Asia, have also become accomplices of the Japanese. There is no power to stop the Japanese in the entire Far East!"&1t;/p>

"Two years ago, Japan fought against the Qing Dynasty. Most people in the world chose to remain silent, allowing the country to obtain compensation of hundreds of millions of silver and huge commercial convenience. In 1898, the Japanese fought undeclaredly, attacked the US fleet and seized the Philippines, achieving a qualitative overflow! In the Russo-Japanese War in 19o4, the Japanese repeated the same trick. They even defeated a European power and completely established their position as the most powerful country in the Far East. Now, they are ready to leap from a regional power to a world-class power!"&1t;/p>

"We don't know how much the ambitions of the Japanese will eventually expand! When neither the vast East Asia nor Southeast Asia can satisfy Japan's appetite, they may even go west, rush across the Strait of Malacca and enter the Indian Ocean, and may continue east and into Oceania. Who knows? But one thing is certain that Japan will never stop unless this arrogant and evil country eventually collapses!"&1t;/p>

Such articles fall into the eyes of ordinary people, but if they look at them for a second, they will be considered as if they are over. However, in the eyes of real people who are interested or leaders of countries related to the situation, the information contained in them is quite huge! The one at the brunt of the Dutch is naturally the Dutch who may lose their colonies. The Dutch government asked the British government the next day whether the UK is binding on some countries within the agreement.&1t;/p>

The British were undeniable about this. They just said that they would try their best to maintain regional stability. But now in the case of the outbreak of the European war, the British did not have the ability to stop certain countries. In the eyes of the Dutch, such a reply was already quite dangerous.&1t;/p>

The Dutch's actions were expected by the prince. However, they were not the focus of Ruprecht's attention. The Japanese were definitely not small. What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when the First World War broke out. When the Japanese knew that the German Pacific colony in their hands was not stable, they would naturally choose to find a "guaranteed return". There is a different agreement between the United States and Germany, and Germany has no obligation or need to uphold justice for the Dutch. Britain and France are now even more unlikely to have a stumble with the Japanese for the sake of the Netherlands. Therefore, in the prince's opinion, it is a certainty for Japan to take action against the Dutch East India in this plane, and it is only a matter of time and how much to eat.&1t;/p>

Ruprecht doesn't care about this behavior of the Japanese. First, the Netherlands and Germany do not have much direct relationship. Secondly, if Japan really eats the Netherlands and East India, it will definitely be a big stimulus for the United States.&1t;/p>

Based on the principle that the opponent is strengthening and weakening itself, even if the United States does not take action personally, it will definitely go further and further with the Allies! And strengthen its support for the Allies. Even after 1 War, the United States will seek cooperation with Germany on the Far East issue to curb Japan. This result is what His Highness the Prince absolutely wants to see. But the only regret now is that the US President is not Theodore Roosevelt, nor Wilson. Instead, William Taft, who lacks courage.&1t;/p>

What the prince did not expect was that his article made the Japanese feel a crisis. After all, such a large-scale whale swallowing operation had a great impact. Based on the principle that what fell into his pocket was his own, Britain and Japan launched a series of negotiations on these matters!&1t;/p>
