The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 595: Ask price two



"Regardless of whether you think I am unreasonable or not, this is our answer. If you continue to discuss this question next time, you still have this answer, then you don’t need to speak. Because we believe that the colonies of the Far East are even more important to your country. Do you have any questions?" The prince was very impatient when he said this.

"Do you represent the country or yourself?" Rutte asked.

"As long as this matter is discussed in Germany or in the United States, your opponent is only me. Of course you can state my paranoia to the Kaiser, but I do not intend to change it." The prince replied.

"The conditions can be discussed. But first we have to convince the Congress that you and the Kaiser can decide everything, but the United States is not the president and me. So I hope you can understand." Rutte decided to relax the topic first.

"In addition, I think that the German Empire should send a high-level delegation to visit the United States so that the two great countries can understand each other. This is a requirement of public opinion. On the other hand, we need you to coordinate Germany and our country. The relationship between the major forces in the parliament. Because of economic and trade issues, some people in China do not want to see the United States and Germany close."

This statement is half-truth. On the one hand, there are indeed pro-British factions in the United States, and on the other hand, the US government hopes to negotiate in the United States, so Root decided to issue an invitation first.

"I have no opinion. And I personally respect General Pershing, who participated in the Boer War in South Africa. I hope to visit his hometown in Missouri." The prince thought for a while and said.

Unlike Germany’s political decision-making economy, the American economy decides politics. God knows how much the relationship between the United States’ participation in the war and Wall Street’s worries about the failure to recover US dollar loans after the defeat of the British and French wars.

The prince is not afraid of Wilson or Roosevelt’s backlash, because they all had a handle in the hands of the prince. They indirectly helped the Japanese defeat the American fleet. No one can escape such a big thing. But the President of the United States cannot decide everything! So I decided to go to the United States to coordinate with the American parliaments, political parties, and capitalists.

"You will become the most honored guest of the United States of America, respected Bavaria." Rutte said respectfully. Although the first contact between the two parties is not much harmony, it is enough to negotiate the prince to the United States.

After the meeting, the prince went to report to the emperor. Not surprisingly, it was impossible for the first negotiation to make any progress. The emperor decided to listen to the prince’s bottom line of the negotiation after having glanced at the negotiation records. Views.

"Obviously, the Americans are very ambitious. They want to take all of our colonies in the Pacific. But the price offered is too low. I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to reach an agreement," the prince said.

"Our colony in the Pacific cannot be given to the Americans, but it must be given to the Americans after the war is over. This is our greatest weight to check and balance the American attitude. No." The prince knows that the Americans are strong, so everything he does now is to protect the United States from directly participating in the war.

"To be honest, I don't believe this statement. Once war starts, the Japanese will surely eat our colonies in the Far East quickly. Do we still have to deal with the Japanese with the Americans in order to fulfill the agreement?" The German Emperor was a little bit dumbfounded. Said.

"Sometimes an attitude is very useful. If the United States or Germany wants to get back the colony after the war, it might be difficult. If the two countries are willing to join forces, Japan will inevitably give in! Americans have money. , And by then, the US-German fleet may have surpassed the British fleet together, and we still have legal principles. Do the Japanese dare to gamble on their own national transport?"

"And if we win or draw in the first battle, it is certainly impossible for Britain and France to conflict with us again for Japan. Well, who else can the Japanese rely on? A small place against the powerful German fleet? What do you think? This is only a possibility, but Japan does not dare to bet, because once we lose, it will be forever. And if we do this, maybe the Americans are really willing to pay to solve this problem once and for all," said the prince.

This is a question of probability. A vivid analogy is Russian roulette. Only one of the six bomb nests has bullets, but if it is not a last resort, most people dare not try it? Even if it's just a try! Because if you lose, the price is life. Life is only once for everyone! Similarly, a sane government must learn to avoid this seemingly dangerous thing.

"In fact, on the other hand, it is not particularly difficult for us to let Japan spit out the colonies that it has occupied. Don’t forget that Japan is an island country and needs to import a lot of materials from Europe and export the corresponding things. We can The Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic dealt with the Japanese transport ships. Even if they can only handle a part of it, the Japanese economy will absolutely not be able to bear it. They can only succumb. Sometimes wars cannot succeed only by killing each other by military means." Said the prince.

"In other words, if we win, there is absolutely hope of taking back our colony in the Far East? How sure are you?" the Kaiser asked.

"70%." The prince thought for a while and said~www.novelhall.com~ Anyway, the Japanese navy would never go to the Middle East or the Atlantic Ocean to find trouble with German ships. The business of the Far East must have disappeared during the war, and if it had disappeared, it would have disappeared. After the war, Germany's internal demand was sufficient for economic recovery, and the status of foreign trade declined a lot. Therefore, Germany is not afraid that the Japanese will use the same means to counter it.

"In that case, I don't want to sell the colonies in Southeast Asia to the United States." The Kaiser thought for a while and said with a smile.

"We should still sell. We only have economic interests in the Far East. No one will be embarrassed by simply doing business. On the contrary, we will be the target of various countries, because cooperation with us will not lead to changes in the territory. And we should also focus on In Europe and Africa," the prince said.

"But I always feel a little bit lost." The Kaiser said with a slight dissatisfaction.

"How about swapping a colony in the Far East for Belgium's Congo in Africa?" The prince thought for a while and said.

"This is impossible. We can't beat the Allies in Africa." The Kaiser said without even thinking about it.

"But we can easily occupy the mainland of Belgium. The British and French will not allow us to occupy the important barrier of Belgium. But the Congo is likely to give up. In fact, without the support of the Americans, we are not afraid to fight Britain and France. It's a waste of time, especially if we are fully prepared." Ruprecht said.
