"I have never encountered such a situation. A total of 6 people participated in the negotiation, three of them were Germans, and one half of us was in the same group as the Germans!" During the formal negotiation, I looked at myself. The way that General Benson and General Pershing were close to the Germans, the American Vice President said in his heart.
On both sides of the meeting, the head of the German delegation was naturally Crown Prince Ruprecht, then Prince Albert representing the Kaiser, and then the Earl of Calypte representing the Bavarian military. On the American side, Taft is naturally the head of the regiment, responsible for discussing political matters, while General Benson and General Pershing are responsible for discussing future military issues.
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Bavaria, the main purpose of my coming here on behalf of the United States of America this time is to confirm one thing, that is, whether the tacit agreement we reached before is still being implemented? Our common goal is to hit Britain hard and teach France. Now, German military operations seem to be deviating from this goal." Taft said.
"You are taking this out of context." Prince Albert first said: "There is a premise in the previous agreement between the two parties, that is, under the condition that France is no longer an enemy of the German Empire, we can consider returning to before the outbreak of the war. On the frontier, my colleagues promised to be more tolerant to France. But now, what the French are doing is obviously not friendly. They rejected our offer."
"To tell the truth, your terms are really... unexpected." Taft wanted to use a derogatory term, but after thinking about it, he held it back.
"We don't allow the French to be a turf, let alone a country that has been an enemy of the Empire for decades and caused millions of casualties on the battlefield because of the verbal submission of the other party. Therefore, the French unless Only by standing firmly on our side and making atonement for the previous actions can we consider letting France go. For the enemy, I think your country will do the same?" Prince Albert asked rhetorically.
"This can only allow your country's hatred to continue. With all due respect, if your country is tolerant in the Franco-Prussian War, then this horrible war will probably not happen, so..." Taf Tuo said.
"Very well, I admire your noble sentiment very much, so good, can I ask you a question?" Crown Prince Ruprecht spoke.
"Please speak," Taft said.
"If the Japanese government is willing to return the colony that our country has transferred to your country, will the United States of America launch a war against Japan?" Ruprecht said.
"Of course.... It started!" Taft said in his heart. The goal of the United States is not only to bring back the original German East Indies colony, but also to spit out the Dutch East Indies that Japan took advantage of during World War I. Otherwise, Japan is too powerful.
As for maintaining justice? Revenge for the Netherlands? This kind of thing cannot be said. After all, the Americans also want to occupy some Dutch East Indies. Not to mention the economic benefits, but to say that the United States needs a reliable forward base when confronting Japan in the future. Well, if at this time Taft proposed the so-called safeguarding of justice, then after the war, did the United States occupy the Dutch colonies or not? Occupied, to outsiders is just a dog biting a dog. If you don't account for it, then you will lose a lot? !
But Taft is quick to respond. He just said that Germany should tolerate the French and create a better future together. If he wants to continue to launch, wouldn't it be equal to slap himself in the face? If you say not to start? It is estimated that Roosevelt will be replaced in the next meeting.......
"Can I understand that Mr. Taft used the standards of the Virgin to demand the German Empire, and the standards of mortals to demand your country? This standard is very interesting."
"As a soldier, I can only put away the long sword in my hand after the other party has completely surrendered and made actual repentance actions. Tolerance is God’s business, and what we have to do is to maintain the security and interests of the empire. Benefits and safety are above everything else. I think everyone here agrees with this?" The crown prince did not continue to struggle with this issue. Taft has been defeated for a while, this is not the core issue, so it is meaningless to hold on.
"We can understand your country’s ideas, but at the same time, we also hope that your country can understand our concerns. There are complex financial ties between the United States and the French Republic, and our greatest enemy is the United Kingdom! Therefore, we should find ways to The blow was aimed at the British. And, didn't you say that the British are the worst enemy?" Taft said after adjusting his emotions.
"Your Excellency should have seen the secret telegram I sent to President Roosevelt? The above is our ultimate solution. The French made the wrong choice, so we must pay the price. We must let the French know that the German Empire has patience. Limited, tolerance is not indulgence!"
"So, this time, our condition for the French is not simply to allow a channel to be opened We require the French Republic to do its best to seize all supplies for the British army before Germany launches an offensive. And supply vehicles! And destroy part of the railway!" Ruprecht said.
"This is more than the previous conditions." Taft said.
"I said, this is the necessary price! It is the price that France must pay for ignoring the friendship of the empire! It is also the key to our destruction of the British expeditionary force. If the United States does not want to see the British in the Japanese army in Southeast Asia in the future, then Please cooperate with us. If the French do it, the treatment we promised to the French will remain the same!" Ruprecht said.
The treatment of surrendering surrender and letting the other party use a knife to surrender is naturally different. If the French agreed before, then the prince would really forget it, but now? Millions of German troops have already put their positions in front of the French. Seeing that the fight is about to start, the French will only admit counsel when they are afraid. This can’t be forgotten. Ruprecht wants to completely suppress the French’s idea of being a turf, and the best way is to force the French to stop. Do something!
To be honest, even in World War II, for most countries, land transportation is still dominated by rail, not to mention the current Western Front of World War I! And because of the Luftwaffe's air strikes, the British supplies to the western line have begun to detour through Normandy and then transported to the front line by rail. It can be said that the French are actually holding the British blood vessels!
