Chapter 1919 First Slow Down 1 Slow Down 2

"Fuck, what's the situation?" Originally, General Weygand thought that the French were cornered this time, and the only thing they could rely on was the United States. However, judging from Ernst's performance, the United States was only one of the options, not The only thing is, are there other countries in this 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 doubts.

"We want to negotiate rather than go to war. We negotiate with the Germans. It is unrealistic to expect the Americans to help us subdue Germany. In fact, the so-called help of the Americans is nothing more than providing a bridge. This and the country It is not directly related to China's national strength, Americans can provide it, and other countries can also provide it!" Ernst said with a smile.

At the same time, in the White House, in Theodore Roosevelt's office, the American president was still thinking about what happened at the venue. When he proposed to adjourn the meeting, the French agreed without hesitation. There was no hesitation at all, so that Roosevelt couldn't understand why the French were so confident?

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

"It's like this. 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 amount must have dropped a lot compared to before. But the Germans rely on their reserves of supplies and The materials obtained from Russia are enough for them to fight the war. Judging from the battlefield situation in the past two years, when the main force of the Germans is concentrated on the Western Front, Britain and France have absolutely no chance. If a battle cannot be completely won, Then the Germans can fight a second time and a third time! Until the French can't bear it." General Marshall said.

"Then why did the French reject our offer? Is it because they can't recognize the status quo? Or is it a fluke?" Roosevelt asked, frowning.

"It may be that the blockade of the British and the civil strife that the Germans have not subsided have given the French the illusion that the current German army is impossible to attack or the combat effectiveness has dropped significantly, so they think there is still time to see the situation, or they plan to block Germany. How can we talk to the Germans after the most ferocious attack by the Germans? As a veteran power, the French should be very clear that it is best to conduct peace talks after winning the battle." 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 is regarded as weakness by those bastards! They use this to hurt the United States time and time again! The British are like this, the French The same is true of people! However, all this must change, we need to support the Germans and let the Germans fight harder, so that they can understand the situation!" Roosevelt said angrily.

But now, Roosevelt can only sulk, the French are unwilling to talk about it now, and the Germans have not yet launched an offensive enough to scare the French. In this case, Roosevelt can only wait and wait for the situation on the battlefield Consider the next step after disruptive changes.

Do you want to say that Roosevelt's idea makes sense? There is some truth to this. Although the French felt tremendous pressure, they still looked like they were not crying without seeing the coffin. It is certain that they had 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 negotiations, and the Americans were just a middleman!

The United States does have a certain influence on Germany. This is undeniable, but it must be explained that, except for some key issues, the United States cannot persuade Germany to accept the conditions of 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 idea of ​​the French is very simple. If the situation is really irreparable, then the French will just negotiate with the Germans. Why do they have to let the Americans charge another mediation fee? As for whether the conditions for the Germans to negotiate will be harsh? This only depends on the situation. If the situation on the battlefield is corrupt and the conditions of the Germans are so harsh that France cannot accept it, then it will not be too late to ask the Americans. And now? The French decided to take a look before talking!

Of course, the so-called "see first and then talk" does not mean that the French do nothing, and preparing for battle on the battlefield is one aspect. At the same time, the French also found an intermediary to test Germany's attitude. Contrary to what Roosevelt thought, the American industrial economy is the number one in the world, so the Germans must hear differently from what I said. The French consider this issue from another angle!

You must know that the royal family and nobles in Europe still had great influence in this era, especially in a country like Germany where the monarchy dominates, the country's decision-making largely depends on the decisions of a few people. If before, it was Kaiser Wilhelm II who felt the fate of Germany, then now, it is the current commander-in-chief of the Western Front, Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria, who decides Germany's domestic affairs and diplomacy, as well as the fate of France!

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

As for, 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 debate, William II and his French teacher talked about the issue of the relationship between France and Germany , although William II said that if France and Germany go to war next time, Germany will take 10 billion francs in compensation, but immediately, William II said that he does not want a war between France and Germany, and said, I will never say this to my teacher again. This is not easy for the arrogant and unruly Kaiser.

Although this is just talk and will not reflect the final issue between the two countries, it is certain that in a country like Germany, it is still very useful to find the right person, talk about dialogue, and cultivate relationships! And the second way of the French is to go in 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 met Crown Prince Ruprecht very easily!
