And all this seems to be logical. After all, the Kaiser and the royal family are relatives. The Kaiser is called Uncle Edward of England. Although everyone is an enemy country, this kind of bloodline problem cannot be avoided. Think about it, history. After the last World War, the Kaiser ran to the Netherlands. If the British government really wanted to punish William II, would it really be impossible? Obviously not! Everyone knows this kind of thing. In the eyes of the French, Ruprecht really wants to completely defeat the British. After all, the previous bombing of London has shown this. However, the Kaiser may not let the British out at this time.
What's more, the most important point is that the French have no other choice. If they want to avoid the collapse, they can only hope that Ruprecht will give up the attack on the French army, and the latter has this ability, because Ruprecht is now the supreme commander on the Western Front. He controls the military power of the whole of Germany. Although Prince Albert has a respected position and has a certain say in politics, he can't do it on military issues! Even Wilhelm II had to obey the officer corps in the military, because the Kaiser did not know much about war... Only a prince who has a high status to the ceiling and who is very proficient in the military can truly control the military power!
To put it bluntly, at this time, in the eyes of the French, it is not the French army, nor the assistance of the British, that can really save France, nor the air promises of the Americans, but the man who is on the Western Front. German commander-in-chief! Whether to fight England or France is just between the thoughts of Crown Prince Ruprecht! This feeling of determining the fate of a country is really cool!
After completing the previous steps, then it's a matter of course. As long as the French are not stupid, they will definitely choose to stab the British at the right time. Maybe the process will be a bit tortuous, maybe the decision will be a bit difficult, but the result is certain. of!
As for speaking, what will Americans think when the news of the easing of relations between Britain and Germany is sent out? What action will it take? Ruprecht has only a rough estimate in his mind, and he cannot quantify it, because the Americans are in a much better situation than the French, and the Americans have all kinds of good cards. Therefore, in this case, Ruprecht can only strive for benefits as much as possible. Then it changed. Taking France is the most basic goal, but it is an additional goal for the United States.
Therefore, although Prince Albert and Earl Calypte, who were the early executors of the entire strategy, can be tough, they must not let the negotiations collapse. Otherwise, the prince needs to think of other ways to continue this plan! Looking at the hesitant Englishman in front of him, Prince Albert is considering whether to relax more?
"We have released your country’s civilian ships and crew, so can your country release some people? Your country’s submarines and sea assault ships have also captured many of our crew members. We need your country to release some people in batches. Moreover, expensive The country must guarantee that it will stop airstrikes on the entire London administrative divisions, whether it is civilian targets, military targets or government facilities." Belfort said his bottom line. If the other party still disagrees, then he really considers stopping. The meeting is over. Because in his view, the Germans’ terms were not peace talks, but the trial of the defeated!
"Fuck? There's a door!" From Belfort's answer, the Germans felt the British's foreign powers. Although the German raiders and submarines sank many British ships, many British crews were handed in on the way back. Brought back to land for neutral ships. After all, the space for submarines is limited, so you can't fit them! In fact, not many British people were brought back home after being captured. The equal treatment emphasized by the British is actually more about saving face, which can be given.
As for the second article, abandoning air strikes on the entire London area is open to question. After all, there are many military factories in the Greater London area, and even if the Luftwaffe has given up the large-scale bombing of thousands of planes, it still has to maintain a certain pressure on London, England. The big benefits. Therefore, the Germans are very cautious about the range of air strikes!
"We agree in principle to the first point. As for the second point? Military targets cannot be exempted, but we can guarantee that there will be no air strikes against government, royal facilities and purely civilian targets. You can provide a list, and then we can review the above content. Verify. If you find that you have hidden military installations in the area on the list, then everything we talked about before is invalid!" Prince Albert said.
"We are also worried that the ships of your country we temporarily handed over to the neutral country will be reused for military purposes. Therefore, from this point of view, the ship we returned cannot go to the neutral country designated by your country. If I am not mistaken, Prince The neutral country that His Highness is talking about is the United States of America, right? However, in our eyes, the Americans are not a neutral country." said Balfour.
"Then the British government is going to hand over these ships to which neutral country for temporary management?" Prince Albert thought for a while and saidSpain! "Belfort said: "You should be aware that Spain is the only neutral country closest to the British Empire and capable of maintaining and guarding these ships. This is the best choice, Spain is truly neutral. "
"We can accept your opinion. When the other party starts to implement this plan, we will stop bombing the London area. At the same time, the Navy will also set aside a safe passage for the transfer of these ships. Of course, in order to prevent accidents, So I hope that German navy officers and soldiers will accompany us on the voyage. We will wait for the fleet on the high seas and sail to Spain together." Prince Albert nodded and said.
"In other words, we have at least one twist this time, but it's a good start?" Balfour said after a breath.
"That's it. We have a fairly good start." Prince Albert said.
"So, when can we meet Crown Prince Ruprecht?" Belfort asked.
"As soon as our first fleet arrives in Spain. You can rush to Brussels in three days, where you can wait for the call of His Royal Highness." Count Calypte thought for a while and said.
"Okay." Belfort was quite nuanced about the words of Earl Calipute, but after thinking about it, it is not the time to argue about these, so after frowning, he decided to end today's talks. In his view, Germany seems to be easing with the British Empire. And as long as there is talk, it's not bad.
