Chapter 1570： Talk two

Therefore, in Roosevelt's view, after the war, Germany will still be caught between Britain, France and Russia, and will be in a disadvantageous situation of fighting on the two fronts. "If this is the case, it seems that Germany is not so terrible?" The prince really deserves to be an expert in fooling people, using a selective statement of facts to allow the Americans to make up for the results the prince wants!

Ruprecht knows very well that Germany needs time to digest the fruits of victory and development, so he needs to maintain the relationship with the Americans as much as possible. As long as this relationship can last for 10 years, Ruprecht will never be afraid of a war with the United States in the 1930s!

Ruprecht’s active display of weakness made Theodore Roosevelt’s vigilance towards Germany greatly reduced, and the exhaled former president of the United States could finally devote all his energy to planning for the future of the Far East.

"But no matter what, after this war, Germany will eventually become a real world empire. The appetite of your government and His Majesty will not be limited to Europe, West Asia and Africa. In our opinion, the future Far East is With a huge market and raw material origin, your country has huge economic and political interests in the Far East, and this interest is currently being damaged by the Japanese and their British and French accomplices. Such damage must be completely eradicated by violence. "

Theodore Roosevelt tried to use the attitude of the German government to pressure the prince. However, what he did not expect was that the German government even Wilhelm II did not have much interest in the Far East now, and Roosevelt's statement made him somewhat self-defeating!

Why is the Kaiser no longer interested in the Far East? The reason is simple. Germany can no longer find a foothold in the Far East as it did before World War I. After the former German Pacific colony was assigned to the United States, if Germany wants to gain a foothold, it can only go to war with regional powers. Even if the emperor is fanatical, he will not easily decide on an expedition that spans thousands of miles.

Of course, you want to say that together with the Americans, take the East Indies over, and then divide it up. This can only stay in theory. After all, this place used to be Dutch, and the Netherlands provided Germany with a lot of material assistance (re-export trade) in World War I. From this perspective, if Germany steals the original from Japan If it belonged to the Dutch colony, it would be a bit unnatural.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the entire Far East, whether it is Japan, the United States as an ally, or Britain and France, is not willing to see Germany return to the Far East. In fact, the emperor meets the United States in Germany. During the delegation, the Kaiser hinted that the three countries of the United States, Germany and the Netherlands could share the East Indies. However, the US Secretary of State did not respond to this. The latter has repeatedly emphasized "returning to the original owner" and maintaining "regional stability." This has actually expressed the United States' attitude towards the East Indies from the root. In this way, Germany cannot Under the premise of gaining a foothold in the Far East, it is natural not to put too much energy into the situation in the Far East.

What's more, does Germany lack a colony now? In fact, there is no shortage, let alone Eastern Europe and the Balkans, even in Africa, this time Germany plans to eat it more than the Congo! Here is more than 2 million square kilometers of land, rich in mineral resources and agricultural resources. It is very difficult for Germany to digest these things on its own. How can it be near and far? !

Of course, you have to say that Germany has no desire for the Far East. It is impossible. After discussing with the Kaiser, the basic Far East policy set by the prince and Kaiser is somewhat similar to the open door policy proposed by the Americans in history! That is, Germany recognizes the sphere of influence of the great powers in the Far East, but Germany requires all countries to give German businessmen the same status in these regions! In a word, it is to make money!

As for the strategy for Japan? It is more complicated. First of all, Japan is currently the enemy of Germany and the Americans are allies. Whether Germany is to retaliate for Japan’s participation in the Allies or as a promise to allies, engaging the Japanese is a must, and it cannot be limited to taking back. The original German is a Pacific colony, otherwise, if you don't hurt such a country, then he will not be afraid of you! As the number one local snake in the Far East, you don't fear him. How do Germans do business in Japanese controlled areas? !

Secondly, we can’t fight too much. The reason is very simple. One day Germany and the United States are going to fight. Japan and the United States will also want to fight. Maybe there will be no so-called Axis power system. After all, this plane. Germany certainly looks down on Japan. Even if Japan is doing well now, it still looks down on it, but how to say it, after all, there may be a common enemy in the future.

And there is another problem. Japan definitely has to do something against Russia. It’s a Japanese tradition to kill you when you are sick. If you don’t do it, it’s not normal. Let’s not talk about the result. Let Japan be in the Russian Far East. Doing some things also determines that Germany can't act too hard.

The third is the market problem. The mainland market is very large. The Japanese rely on their geographical advantages to control most of the Northeast and North China markets. For example, the so-called Manchurian Railway is a nail in the mainland economic system. However, Germany wants Do business, and Japan will not easily give up its privileges in these areas, so what should I do? Point the gun at the opponent's head to make them give up!

Therefore, on the whole, Germany's attitude towards Japan is very complicated. It is the kind that needs to be severely rectified to scare him! But at the same time it can't really kill that kind. Moreover, the cost and cost of remediating Japan should be shared by the Americans!

"Germany has no territorial claims in the Far East," the prince said.

"We just want to do business fairly in the Far East. This requirement is very low, even Britain and France will not refuse, Japanese? I think I will understand after seeing Germany's powerful army and navy." He started to speak to Roosevelt.

"Since our requirements are so low. Then why do we have to use the blood of soldiers to fight a meaningless battle?"

"Actually, if the situation permits, Germany can regain a colony in the post-war Far East." Roosevelt thought for a while and threw a tentative bait. What does the situation allow? This is not a matter of one sentence in the United States? Once the virtues have settled Japan, how can Germany, which has experienced two wars, bargain with the United States in the Far East? As for Roosevelt saying this today? The words of politicians can’t be trusted, don’t you know that? So Roosevelt is now ready to go out.

"Germany really has no territorial demand in the Far East. Even if it is possible to obtain it, we still will not ask for it." The prince repeated again.
