Chapter 1919： First delay 1 second

"Fuck, what's the situation?" Originally General Wei Gang thought that this time the French had been forced on the road, and the only thing he could rely on was the United States. However, from the performance of Ernst, the United States was only one of the options, not The only one, is there any other country in the world that can help France?

"As far as I know, there is no big country in this world that can help us." General Wei Gang said with some confusion.

"We are negotiating, not going to war. Negotiations are also between us and the Germans. It is unrealistic to let the Americans help us to subdue Germany. In fact, the so-called help of the Americans is only to provide a bridge. This and the country The national strength of China is not directly related, Americans can provide it, and other countries can also provide it!" Ernst said with a smile.

At the same time, in the White House, Theodore Roosevelt’s office, the American president was still thinking about what happened at the meeting. When he proposed to adjourn the meeting, the French did not hesitate to agree. There was no hesitation at all, so that Roosevelt could not understand why the French were so confident?

"General Marshall, can you be sure that the French have no chance of victory in this war?" Roosevelt asked.

"That's the case. Although the North Sea blockade still exists, we can still deliver some supplies to the Germans by relying on high-speed merchant ships. Of course, this number is definitely a lot lower than before. But the Germans rely on the supplies and supplies they reserve. The materials obtained from Russia are enough for them to fight the war. From the battlefield situation in the past two years, when the main German forces are concentrated on the western front, Britain and France will never have a chance. If a battle cannot be completely won, Then the Germans can still play the second and third times! Until the French can't bear it." General Marshall said.

"Then why do the French reject our kindness? Is it because they don't recognize the status quo? Or are they lucky?" Roosevelt asked with a frown.

"It may be that the British blockade and the unquenched civil strife of the Germans have given the French the illusion that the German army is unlikely to attack or the combat effectiveness is significantly reduced, so they think there is still time to look at the situation, or plan to block Germany. After the fiercest round of offensive, the Germans will talk to the Germans. As a veteran power, the French should be very clear that the peace talks are best conducted in the case of victory." Marshall said.

"It seems that we are too friendly to the French, just like we were to the British, the goodwill of the United States of America was regarded as weak by those bastards! They used this time and time again to hurt the United States! The British are like this, France. People are like this too! But all this must be changed. We need to support the Germans and let the Germans fight harder so that they can recognize the situation!" Roosevelt said angrily.

But now, Roosevelt can only get sulking. The French are reluctant to talk about it. The Germans have not launched enough attacks to make the French feel terrible. In this case, Roosevelt can only wait and wait for the battlefield situation. After disruptive changes have taken place, we are considering the next step.

Is there any truth in Roosevelt’s idea? There are some reasons for this. Although the French feel the tremendous pressure, they still look like they can't see the coffin without tears, and they have certain illusions about the battlefield situation. But Roosevelt’s biggest problem was that he misunderstood the tripartite relationship between the United States, Germany and France. That is, it was Germany and France that ultimately decided the direction of the negotiation, and the Americans were just a middleman!

The United States does have a certain degree of influence on Germany. This is undeniable, but it must be stated that, apart from certain key issues, the United States cannot subdue Germany’s conditions for accepting the French. Because the United States does not have this strength and is unwilling to pay this price!

The French understand this very well. Therefore, the French have a simple idea. If the situation becomes irreversible, then the French should negotiate with the Germans. Why do they have to ask the Americans to charge a mediation fee? As for the conditions for the German negotiations, will they be harsh? This can only depend on the situation. If the battlefield situation is erosive and the conditions of the Germans are so harsh that the French cannot accept it, then it will not be too late to ask the Americans. And now? The French decided to take a look first!

Of course, the so-called look first and then talk about it does not mean that the French do nothing. Preparation on the battlefield is one aspect. At the same time, the French also found an intermediary to test Germany's attitude. As Roosevelt thought, the American industrial economy is number one in the world, so what Lao Tzu said must be different to the Germans. The French considered this issue from another angle!

You must know that the royal family and aristocracy in Europe still have a very large influence in this era, especially in a country with a dominant monarchy like Germany. The country's decision-making depends largely on the decisions of a few people. If it was said that the fate of Germany was Kaiser Wilhelm II, now, it is the current commander-in-chief of the Western Front, Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria, that determines the domestic and foreign affairs of Germany and the fate of France. !

Therefore, the French decided to use some special characters to test Ruprecht's attitude towards France. If Ruprecht's attitude is better for the French, then France can completely ignore the United States and make direct contact.

As for speaking, will this happen? In fact there are, such as Kaiser Wilhelm II, although his grandfather was crowned in the Palace of Versailles. France and Germany are feuds in terms of national strategy, but he himself is not very hostile to France. He even has a French teacher who teaches art. In another dispute, William II and his French teacher talked about the relationship between France and Germany. Although William II said that if France and Germany go to war again next time, Germany will take away 10 billion francs in compensation, but immediately, William II said that he did not want a war between France and Germany, and said, I won't say this to my teacher again. This is quite difficult for the arrogant Kaiser.

Although this is just a talk, it will not reflect the final two-country issue, but it is certain that in a country like Germany, it is very useful to find the right person, talk about dialogue, and cultivate feelings! And the second way for the French is to follow this direction!

Just when the negotiations between the United States and France reached a deadlock, a special person came to the headquarters of the German army in Brussels, and this person unexpectedly met Crown Prince Ruprecht very easily!
