Chapter 2286： Reunion Tower Husband

In Ruprecht’s view, in order to delay the formation of the US-UK-Russia alliance as late as possible and gain time for development for Germany, Germany must maintain the Anglo-Japanese alliance as much as possible. The Pacific War should not be the last of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. A business should be a new beginning. Germany must exert influence or make some actions to make Britain involuntarily form an alliance with Japan.

So what do the so-called small actions mean? The simplest nature is to provoke the independence movement in the British colonies, such as fanning troubles in India... The continued turmoil in the colonies will greatly consume the British national power, and at the same time create opportunities for Britain and Japan to approach. And as long as the Anglo-Japanese alliance does not die out in one day, then the cooperation between the United States and Britain is just a castle on the beach!

After Ruprecht and Grand Duke Baden gradually reached agreement on some issues, the special envoy of the US President also came to Berlin. This time, he was still Ruprecht’s "old friend", US Vice President Taf Take off and his advisor Wilson! Because of the crown prince, Wilson did not become president, nor did he become a key factor in Germany's defeat. At present, he is only a special adviser to the US President!

After all, it is the Vice President of the United States. Although Ruprecht and the senior German leaders have a bad impression of Taft, after all, the two sides are also allies. After the grand welcome ceremony, Ruprecht will represent the German government and arrive. The visiting American delegation made representations, and the content was nothing more than solving some of the remaining issues in the war, and looking forward to the future together! Well, to put it plainly is how to fight the Pacific War!

"First of all, on behalf of the U.S. government and myself, I congratulate your country on its decisive victory in the Norwegian naval battle. Secondly, we will discuss with you the world situation after this war. After all, the end of every large-scale war means Great changes in the world situation.” After a simple polite, Taft said straightforwardly.

"Please wait a minute, I always think that you will honor some of the agreements we have reached before you look forward to the future with us. After all, you need to have a beginning and an end. Don't you think?" Ruprecht interrupted.

"I don't know what you are talking about? Our loan and material supply to Germany will be implemented in accordance with the previous agreement, and we have no idea to change." Taft said.

"Then, I can remind you that before the decisive battle in the Norwegian Sea, we had reached an agreement on some matters concerning the navy. Every time we sink a British warship or lose a warship, you will reward us accordingly. And compensation. In this naval battle, we destroyed 21 British battleships, and we also lost 5 of our own. In addition to the casualties, your country should pay more than 200 million U.S. dollars in compensation, and now, it seems that you Have you forgotten about this matter, and don't plan to fulfill it?" Crown Prince Ruprecht said solemnly.

"The last time we met, we did talk about this, and we did write a proposal and plan to pass it to parliament. However, the parliament believes that the United States, as a neutral country, should not pay Germany for sinking British warships because they see From a legal point of view, although our relationship with the United Kingdom is very bad, we did not go to war, and we did not hire your country. Therefore, if you want to implement this agreement, I am afraid that there will be a lot of difficulties. This is that I did not consider it at the beginning. Arrived, so I apologize to you again." Taft said sincerely. He threw the pot to the parliament, and he only apologized!

"That being the case, I don't think it is necessary for our negotiations to go on. Next time, if we want to discuss some issues, I can only negotiate with the President of the United States or the Speaker of the House of Assembly, because the vice president is a guy who runs a train full of mouths. !" Crown Prince Ruprecht retorted bitterly.

The negotiations did reach some agreements before, but the Americans cleverly used the reason that the parliament did not approve them to circumvent them. The so-called remuneration given by Taft back then was very rich, but the discount on the implementation was certain! After all, spending more than 200 million US dollars is a bit scary! Even if many of these expenditures are realized by offsetting or reducing or exempting falsely high debts in kind!

"This question is my fault, so I understand your dissatisfaction with us very well. In order to maintain a good relationship between the two countries, and to make up for the losses caused by my mistakes, we can make loans and repayment problems in the future Make some adjustments on this issue. I think we can arrange someone to talk about it." Taft said.

Taft is squandering the bill, but it is certainly not squandered. If it is squandered, the Germans have to lift the table! In fact, apart from some regrets and reluctance to pay so many loans, the US government has another very important reason that it wants to regain the initiative between the US and Germany! For Americans, how is this initiative achieved? Naturally it can only be money!

Maybe finally After the two parties coordinated to adjust the loan and repayment methods, the Americans are not very dependent on the benefits, but the Americans can get a little! That is, in the next few years, you can continue to influence Germany through loans! In other words, some restrictions will be added to Germany during the negotiation process! For example, stipulating the obligations of the German army in the future Pacific War! From the perspective of the Americans, Germany is currently very short of money. Even if it suffers some losses, an agreement will be reached. After all, for the German army that has gone through the war, it is more convenient to solve things with the army than with money.. .....

"Then the parliament can't pass again?" Ruprecht seemed to be reluctant to discuss this matter with Taft at all. At this time, if you talk to Taft about how to implement the money, then you are at a disadvantage. Now, because the British fleet has been almost wiped out, this is a fact, it will not resurface because the Americans don’t give money.... And Germany really needs Americans to continue to provide loans. It is a zero-sum choice when the Americans decide not to give anything! Therefore, it is not appropriate to terminate the negotiation directly. Therefore, when you face this situation, Ruprecht decides to change the subject!

"We will pay attention to related procedural issues this time." Taft said calmly.

"Very good," Ruprech nodded and said. "Before today's talks, I have been thinking about a problem, a problem that can allow Germany and the United States to avoid war."
