"The French army is a very good system. They have advanced weapons and equipment, a complete logistics supply and command system, as well as a group of troops who are not afraid of death. In terms of their will to fight, the French are definitely the world. One of the most brave troops on the world. To be honest, fighting against such an opponent is very disturbing, not because it can’t be beaten, but because the loss is too great. Wars are always for profit, and the cost and casualties must be considered. "The prince said earnestly.
"We paid a huge cost, but we didn't let the most important enemy that deserved the most damage, but we beat the enemy who ranked second, no, the enemy ranked third, do you think we will lose money in this war? Now?" Crown Prince Ruprecht asked rhetorically.
"Do you think that in the future, the French will be our third enemy? Then the Russians will be second?" General Howson asked.
"Everyone, look at the current map. Warsaw, Minsk, Kiev, and Riga are all under the control of the empire. The Russian capital is even within the range of our artillery. Our fleet can be the back garden of the Russians. ——The Gulf of Finland acted wantonly. Our attack and hatred against the Russians is much deeper than the hatred we had with the French during the Franco-Prussian War. It is said that the hatred is as deep as the sea, and we will never die. Yes! If one day the Germans and the French can shake hands and make peace, then it will be impossible to make peace with the Russians, unless they become an Asian country." Ruprecht said.
"However, I think that in addition to hatred, the ranking of threats is more important than strength. Your Majesty, if we talk about hatred, Romania, which has been annihilated by us, should hate us more, but when did we put them in our eyes?" General Lingen raised the bar as always.
"However, it is undeniable that although we have brought the most prosperous regions and granaries of the Russians under our rule, Russia is still a big country with great potential. What they lack is only time and a strong center. The regime, believe me, in the future, this new country will still have tens of millions of square kilometers of land, and the big congress, which is 9 times the size of the empire, will fight us again in the near future. And the threats they pose to us Even Britain and France combined are even bigger." Ruprecht said.
Russia has been weakened, and it has been weakened a lot, but the deadly camel is bigger than a horse, even if it has lost more than one million ordinary kilometers of land, but who dares to deny that Russia is a big country? Regardless of population, resources, or land area, Russia is still a superpower, and in terms of strength, Russia is actually stronger than the Austro-Hungarian Empire no matter how weak it is. If the red giant in the future, the industrial scale and comprehensive national strength surpass France, it is just like playing!
Speaking of which, Heilingen did not raise the bar any more. There is no way. In addition to the military level of the prince, his farming level is also unattainable in Germany. He can save a country of only 70,000 square kilometers. It has become like this in just 20 years. This level has been rare for hundreds of years. There is no way. Bavaria's starting point is too low, and its strength is a little weak. What about now? From a low estimate, Bavaria can single out France in ten years! Therefore, in the field of professionalism, you must listen to the words of professionals, whether you agree with Heilingen or not, but never challenge the prince on such matters.
"Look at our future situation. On the Eastern Front, we have to face an enemy that is stronger than the French and even the British. On the opposite side of the sea, the British who failed once did not hurt their muscles and bones. There are at least ten years to slowly lick the wound and then fight again. And the French? They are actually our weakest enemy. They have a small land area, weak industries, a small population and no resources. We Why do you have to stare at the French and let the British go?" Ruprecht asked rhetorically.
"His Royal Highness, the British must be punished. We agree with this point. From what you just said, you seem to be ready to take action against the British Fleet and have a good chance of winning. Then why can't we do this? After the people get on the ground, then use the navy to kill the British? In this case, we are equivalent to completely solving the problem of Western Europe. It is just a matter of order." Crook finally expressed his opinion.
"This question is very good," Ruprecht said. "I believe everyone here, except me, Grand Duke Albrecht, and General Maoqi, the rest are thinking about this question. Since the imperial military has the advantage, why don't we directly solve the problem of Britain and France?"
"Actually, the best result in my mind is to solve these two problems once and for all, but for now, I can only say that the situation does not allow! Don’t forget that there is another superpower that did not intervene in the war. When the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers He was watching coldly when he was fighting, and when the dust was about to settle, he finally took action." Ruprecht said.
"Is the American? Isn't he our ally? Even with the British blockade American merchant ships still brought us tens of millions of tons of supplies, and after the war, the Americans had to rely on Our help to deal with the Japanese. Why should they stand on the side of our enemies at the end of the war, when we are about to become victors? Has their attitude changed?" Crook asked a little surprised. Tao.
"Their attitude has never changed! Great powers are about interests! Americans can stand with us because we have common interests, and there are not too many contradictions. We are the British and Japanese. The enemy, and the Americans are mortal enemies with Britain and Japan because of the Philippines incident. At this point, our interests are the same and are the basis of our cooperation. And we have no territorial demand for the Far East, only economic interests, which allows Xiang to enter the Far East. The Americans feel at ease, so we are only standing together now. However, great powers have always cooperated and confronted each other."
"The Americans are not without conditions and limits to help us. They need us to win, thinking that we have to fight the Japanese after the war, but at the same time, they are not willing to let us get too much. We tear from the Russians. The big piece of meat that came down has already made the Americans feel terrified. How could they allow us to enter Paris again, or even enter London to put the whole of Europe under our rule? Now, Europe is the core of the world. Whoever masters Europe will own the entire world. What the Americans need is a strong ally, not a hegemon."
