Chapter 1992： Political blackmail one

I have to say that the current Kaiser is still very on the road. After Ruprecht courteously informed the Kaiser in Munich about the news of negotiations with the British, the latter immediately expressed his support for letting Ruprecht be solely responsible for the matter. At the same time, his son, Prince Albert, returned to Brussels as the representative of the Kaiser.

This kind of response is quite appropriate. The Kaiser’s eldest son is limited, and as the commander of the front-line army, it is obviously not suitable to participate in the memory of the British peace talks, and his position is also embarrassing. When the imperial crown prince and a crown prince appeared at the same time At the negotiating table, who is in charge of the negotiation? This is a question worth pondering, and doing so is tantamount to embarrassing Ruprecht.

The Grand Duke of Baden also cannot go to Brussels. Because the power struggle between the Kaiser and the parliament has reached a critical moment, the Kaiser cannot do without the Grand Duke of Baden. And Prince Albert went to Brussels as a matter of course. In terms of ability, the level of this prince is the highest among the princes of the Kaiser. In terms of status, as a prince, he respects his status and is worse than Crown Prince Ruprecht, so it is just suitable as a representative.

"His Royal Highness, if I remember correctly, you refused when the British passed the news of the peace talks through Sweden, but this time, why are you ready to agree to the meeting? Is it because our current advantage is large enough? Can we get what we want through negotiation instead of a saber?" Prince Albert asked after a brief greeting.

"It's just a meeting. I never intended to sign a treaty with the British or reach a tacit agreement. Although we have an absolute advantage now, there is still a big gap between what we want and what the British want to give. We have to use Educate the British with the guns in your hand!" Ruprecht said with a smile.

"You never do anything that is worthless. Even if you meet this time, I am afraid it is purposeful? You can speak out your ideas and we can help you." Prince Albert said.

"Do you know? If the news of our peace talks with the British goes out, two countries will be very upset, one is France and the other is America!"

"Because this is a secret meeting between countries, the content involved can only be between the two countries. The British will not discuss the French when they talk to us. So, when the French get the news, their first One feeling is that the British betrayed them! Of course, the British would not admit it. But this is not important, as long as the French think so. They have good reason to think that this is the beginning of British betrayal, because even we The bombs were dropped in London instead of Paris. The British are still in a much better environment than the French! Under this kind of crisis, the French are likely to take a step that is vital to us!"

"Your Highness, you seem to hate Britain even more than my father." Prince Albert said.

"My hatred of Britain comes from his hostility and harm to the empire. The Entente was established with the agitation and support of the British. In the Allied system, the British are the most powerful. So, if we can't hit Britain hard , Then even if we defeated Russia and France, it still cannot be regarded as a complete victory, because defeating France and Russia only confirmed the dominant position of the empire on the European continent. But if the United Kingdom was hit hard, the empire could gain the freedom to sail in the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. right!"

"If the empire was a continental country before the war, then after the war, the empire will learn how to become a continental and oceanic composite country. If it wants to freely enter and exit the North Sea, then it must hit the United Kingdom hard. In terms of position, not only national power, military power, and economy, but also population, we also need to make the British bleed more, because only in this way can we fundamentally weaken the future British power and make the British public fear the empire! Let the British government Fear of war!" said the prince.

"Let’s put it this way, even if the British agreed to all the conditions I removed, even if the next battle would bring more than 300,000 casualties to the Empire, I still decided to launch this battle because I plan to bring the British There are more than 600,000 casualties! I am not even willing to let the British surrender! Because that will leave me without a chance to destroy them!" Ruprecht said firmly.

"I understand your Royal Highness's attitude towards Britain and how to deal with it. But for the French, you seem to be inclined to be leniency. Is this really good?" Prince Albert said.

"The so-called leniency is also relatively speaking. If my attitude towards the British is to force them to sign the alliance under the city, then for the French, we can let him continue to be a second-rate power and retain most of their colonies. At the same time, I am willing to leave some face to the proud French."

"We can guarantee the integrity of the French territories can withdraw troops from Belgium. It can even be considered as a symbolic separation from the French colonies in Africa. However, as a punishment to the enemy, France should help them in the war. Pay for the loss caused by the empire! For example, provide a large amount of interest-free loans and sign a trade agreement on the colony. That year, during the Franco-Prussian War, the empire received 5 billion francs from the French. This time, I plan to get it from the French Interest-free and low-interest loans of 50 billion francs!" Ruprecht said.

(I think this number is too large to check the total amount of compensation paid by the Allied Powers to Germany after the end of the First World War in history. The prince’s attitude towards the French is that the death penalty is unavoidable, and the living sin cannot escape.)

"His Royal Highness, do you think your tolerance can be appreciated by the French? Are you sure that this is not a problem for raising tigers?" Prince Albert said.

"First of all, we can be sure that the French are not stupid. From the end of the Franco-Prussian War to the beginning of the war, France has clamored for revenge on Germany more than once. But what happened? We have lived through a period of peace that lasted more than 30 years. Even though the French had established an extraordinary friendship with the Russians with the French loan, the French still knew that they were not German opponents. However, after the British and the French reached an understanding, in less than 7 years, the war was over. It broke out! It can be seen that the British played a vital role in it! And the performance of the British on the battlefield also did not lose their reputation as the world's first power, they supported almost all battlefields except land warfare. "The prince said.
