The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 596： Stabilize America
Now the prince finally has a feeling that the poor have become local tyrants. The 50 million loan from the Americans is actually quite a lot. The prince can clearly feel that the Kaiser is already a little tempted. Maybe the Americans can add a little more. They sold these islands for US$50 million per year. Although they were to be paid back, it was really a help for Germany, which is now preparing for the riots. Let’s put it this way, this money basically saves Germany’s annual navy. The cost of building a new battleship is completely reimbursed, and the cost of 50 million US dollars is about 20 million pounds. If 2.5 million is fearless, it will be 8 ships! By the way, you can also build up strategic reserves of armored combat vehicles, aircraft, and various materials!
Historically, Germany’s military expenditure in 1913 was only 2 billion marks, or 100 million pounds, which accounted for half of the national budget! Americans pay you 20% directly! Such a large sum of money cannot help the Kaiser not be tempted. If the prince is not tempted, it is false, because the US interest-free loan to Bavaria is another calculation! Without such sufficient funds, why does Bavaria expand its army and help Austria-Hungary to increase its military strength? Don't look at Ruprecht being quite tough during the peace talks, but if it comes to the point where it may collapse, he still feels a little hesitant. After all, if you win, you have everything, if you lose, you are really gone!
"Well, I am the President of the United States now. You need to convince me on what basis to accept your request!" The Kaiser was still not at ease with the prince's statement, because he felt that the price on his side was obviously higher.
"The government is relatively easy to deal with, because the contradictions between the United States and Britain are comprehensive and irreconcilable. The British can share colonies with the French, but the British really have no extra colonies to give to the United States, and they are still there. Grabbing the market to grab the raw material source, and the strong national pride of the United States also makes the United States always ready to launch a war of revenge against Japan, so it is impossible for the United States and the British-Japanese alliance to resolve it.
"The real trouble lies with the capitalists. The Americans are capital-driven politics. Once war starts, it is impossible for the United States to stop supplying the Allies. It may not be directly supplied to Britain, but it will definitely be given to France. This will break our maritime relations. Strategy is a challenge. Under certain circumstances, it can even lead to a reversal of the situation. The only thing that can resolve this is to establish closer ties with those American capitalists."
"On the one hand, we can open more African markets, but at present, our colonies are relatively barren. The only fertile colony in Africa that has a greater chance of acquiring is Congo. Although Congo is rich in mineral resources, Funds are needed for mining, and Americans have few choices for investment, so if we promise to win the Congo and share the opportunities equally, they will consider standing on our side."
"Of course, giving benefits is only one aspect of it. The most important thing is binding. We must find a way to tie some of the American money bags to our national transport. It can be a loan or something else. Only they Realizing that if the German Empire collapses, their investment and money will be in vain. Of course, I am not that proficient in this area. We need the help of economists."
"Is this enough?" The Kaiser wanted to ask after thinking about it.
"Not enough. We also need to convince the Americans that even if the German Empire wins, it will never pose a threat to the United States. This requires us to exercise restraint when expanding. Domestic capitalists and aristocrats sometimes think too crazy. Now." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.
"So you insist on winning the Eastern Front, and the Western Front is tied because of this, right?" The Kaiser thought for a while and asked.
"The purpose of war is profit, not killing, and profit needs to weigh the effort and gain. We can knock down a decadent building with a single push, and gain enough profit to support the development and development of the empire for 50 years or more. . Then why do we have to pay several times the price to get a thatched hut? If we use up the accumulation of the empire for decades and have no income, what should we do?" the prince asked rhetorically.
"This matter is very complicated, and the situation in Germany is far less simple than that in Bavaria. Let's talk about this later." The Kaiser also felt that this issue was a bit difficult. Although the emperor didn’t know how he was evacuated in the late World War 1, he had been able to appreciate the constraints of various parties for many years after he was emperor. The prime minister can always handle all aspects very well, but now...
"I give you all the right to negotiate. I only accept the results. The specific process can be discussed. The colonies in the Far East can theoretically be abandoned. As you said, we must overcome the current difficulties before we can talk about the future. "The Kaiser finally set the tone.
After obtaining the approval of the Kaiser, then a series of things were easy to handle. The prince told Secretary of State Ruth the news, and then began to prepare for his trip to America. This time the German emperor’s configuration for the prince’s visit is definitely a high one. The commander of the German High Seas Fleet Admiral von Boll and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Herbert will travel with the team on the Kaiser Wilhelm cruise ship, and at the same time ~www.novelhall. com~The German Imperial Navy has also accepted the request of the U.S. Navy and will dispatch the two most advanced battleships, the battleship Nassau and the battlecruiser Blücher, to launch a visit to the United States. Not knowing if it was intentional, the German fleet set off first and came to New York first before the German delegation arrived in the United States.
"Gentlemen, God has given us a chance. The Far Eastern colonies that we cannot obtain with iron or fire can be obtained with a little money this time. Let us prepare to welcome the arrival of the United States of America from far away Germany. That prince." The American president said when Roosevelt received the news that Ruprecht was coming to the United States.
"We must use this opportunity to consolidate the relationship with the German Empire. Although we may not be true friends, we still need to help each other at this time. We have the funds they need, and they have what we need. Colony.” Roosevelt wrote in a letter to the leaders of the major political parties in the parliament.
In Roosevelt’s view, although Rutte and Ruprecht did not gain any advantage in their first match, everything went according to plan. The Germans were still very sincere about this proposal. Roosevelt was also a good one when he proposed it. Test, and now he can be sure that if the United States offers a reasonable price, then the United States has a chance to achieve what the previous president has spent tens of millions of dollars, and the US fleet has failed to do so. The thought of this makes him a little excited.
