Chapter 1000： Buckle the **** basin (ask for a monthly ticket)

The arms control meeting is still going on, but it is actually meaningless. Germany, the United States and the island countries simply cannot reach an agreement on the tonnage of capital ships, which makes it completely unnecessary to continue this meeting.

The German delegation insisted on 1.5 million tons and firmly disagreed that the total tonnage of the capital ships of the United States and the island countries should exceed this tonnage, but the United States and the island countries wanted to increase the total tonnage of the capital ships of the two countries to 2.1 million tons. As long as Germany makes concessions on the first ship type and succeeds, then they can further oppress Germany in the subsequent ship tonnage negotiations.

But it is a pity that Germany is the world hegemon after all, the most powerful country on the planet. Even if the United States is strong, the island countries are not weak in terms of war strength alone. But even if they join forces, Germany will not be afraid. This arms control meeting is nothing more than a cover to let the whole world see Germany's sincerity in maintaining world peace. If it can be successful, it is naturally the best. Then, even if it fails, it will not have much impact on Germany.

For a week in a row, the representatives of our own side still failed to reach an agreement. Under such circumstances, the Imperial Prime Minister Bilow had to announce on behalf of the German Empire that the arms control meeting could not reach an agreement, and the meeting was suspended.

However, as soon as the meeting was interrupted, German Foreign Minister Vachter announced at the press conference that the reason why the meeting could not go ahead was entirely because the United States and the island countries had opened their mouths. Germany, as the world hegemon and the most powerful country in the world, It has been tolerated that the two countries together can have the same tonnage of capital ships as the German Navy. However, they are still not satisfied and want to surpass Germany. Such a result is absolutely unacceptable to Germany. After all, Germany is the hegemon of the world, has the most extensive colonies in the world, and has huge overseas interests that need to be maintained.

For world peace, Germany has made the greatest efforts and concessions. However, due to the reasons of the United States and the island countries, this arms control meeting cannot continue, making world peace impossible to achieve.

There is no doubt that this time Germany has completely pinned the **** pot of destroying world peace on the representatives of the United States and island countries. Most people in the world agree with this. After all, as the most powerful country in the world, it is already very good that Germany can achieve this step. It is really unreasonable for the United States and the island countries to want to surpass Germany.

For a while, the international reputation of the United States and the island countries suffered a great blow.

The last world war, although mainly broke out in Europe. However, the heavy losses caused have shocked countries all over the world. People all over the world are even more worried about whether the international situation will lead to the outbreak of the Second World War as the international situation becomes increasingly tense. At that time, will the scope go beyond Europe and expand to the whole world? After all, the United States is located in the Americas, and the island country is a country in the Far East. Once they go to war with Germany, then the world war will become a real world war.

The United States and island countries will of course justify this. They also shifted the responsibility to Germany, claiming that Germany was too strong and wanted to suppress them, which made this arms control conference unable to achieve any results. It's just that even if they made an excuse, there are not many international voices that are inclined to them. After all, Germany is the world's hegemon, and it seems to be a matter of course that it has the same tonnage of capital ships as the United States and the island countries combined.

What's more, the German Navy will no longer build new capital ships, and it is enough to maintain the current fleet size. But the United States and the island countries are still ambitious to build more capital ships! From this point of view, who is more aggressive seems to be able to tell at a glance.

"Damn Germans, this arms control meeting is a trap! It's just to show off in front of the people of the world, to show their sincerity in defending world peace. Now, the responsibility for destroying world peace is shifted to us head!" President Woodrow Wilson was very speechless.

"Your Excellency, although we have made an excuse, the effect does not seem to be great? After all, we are now building warships in large quantities, which makes other countries subconsciously think that we are destroying peace." Secretary of State Brian said speechlessly.

After the arms control meeting ended, the American delegation set off to return to the United States. However, while they were still on the road, Germany started propaganda, and all the responsibility for the failure of the military control conference was pushed on their heads. By the time Brian and the others got the news, it was obviously over.

"This time it's all a conspiracy of the Germans. We have already fallen into their conspiracy. It's useless to say anything else. Fortunately, this just affected our reputation a little bit, and it didn't No big deal," said President Woodrow Wilson.

Brian nodded.

"Your Excellency Daniels, the construction of naval ships should continue without external interference. I think that the Germans are doing this to affect our armament development. As long as we are not fooled, the Germans will take We have no choice. After all, in future wars, we must do our best to win. As long as we win the war, everything will be easy to talk about. History is told by the victors!" Woodrow? Wilson said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Minister Daniels nodded, and at the same time, he was relieved. He was originally worried that, due to the influence of public opinion, whether the US Navy's shipbuilding plan would be affected. But now it seems that he is worrying too much.

As for the islanders who are also accused, they don't care about these international public opinions at all. They have always done their own way, as long as they can get benefits, that's enough.

The goals of the islanders have always been very clear. They just want to defeat Germany, take revenge, and then occupy all of Germany's colonies in the Far East and India. In this way, their country will be able to take off quickly.

As the United States and island countries continue to develop armaments frantically, the international situation has become even more tense. However, the development of armaments needs to burn money. When the financial pressure of the United States and the island countries is increasing, they can't help but slow down the pace of armament expansion.
