Chapter 1924: Choose 1 From 2
"Wrong! If the empire just wanted to end the war, then it wouldn't let me come to govern the entire western front! I wouldn't even transfer millions of Bavarian and Austro-Hungarian troops from the eastern front to the western front! Because every transfer of these troops costs me money!" said the prince. This sentence is correct, after all, the future queen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is the wife of the prince. So the materials consumed by the armies of the two countries are spent on the money of Ruprecht's family, that's right!
"Some people say that I am a businessman. There is a certain truth in this statement, because I really have to consider input and benefits in everything I do. Well, now the problem comes. I have invested so many troops on the Western Front and I am going to invest More equipment, troops, supplies, and military spending. Even willing to take huge casualties. How could I want to end this war? So, everyone, remember one sentence, I came to the Western Front to launch an attack! I Now I don't want to end the war at all!" The prince said the last sentence almost word for word.
"Then why did you invite us here? Wasting time?" Xia Fei jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on! As a soldier, he knew that once the man on the other side made up his mind to fight, he must complete it! Combined with the previous record, to put it bluntly, that is, if you die, you will never live! Since the prince wants to launch an attack, Britain and France will definitely lose! This kind of psychological oppression made Xia Fei, who is familiar with military affairs, a little bit unable to hold on!
"Of course it's not a waste of time. Believe me, the time of the winner is much more precious than the time of the loser, because we have to share the benefits of the war and discuss what to do with the loser. The loser has no other choice but to wait, and here Under such circumstances, I am still willing to take the time to meet with you, do you know why?" the prince asked.
"Sorry, I really don't know," Clemenceau replied.
"If I say that I have a good impression of the French, you may not believe it, but I can tell you clearly that if the conditions are equal, I would prefer the long sword in my hand to be cut on the British rather than the French! Do you understand?" Ruprecht asked.
"Fuck, what's the situation?!" Clemenceau hadn't reacted yet, but Xiafei's eyes lit up! He really didn't expect things to turn around like this! Could it be that this prince really has a good impression of France, so this attack is aimed at the British? Instead of the French? !
"That's not bad!" Xiafei said in her heart. Anyway, this time the Allied Powers are very pessimistic about the German attack. If the situation is really a last resort, of course it is a dead friend, don't die poor! Let the Germans fight the British, at least France will benefit! Thinking of this, Xia Fei's favor towards the prince increased slightly.
"France and Germany are world feuds, and the hatred between each other can even be mentioned from the time when Emperor Napoleon was in power. If you say that you have some good feelings for France, I really don't know how this good feeling came from!" Just in Xia When Fei was a little shaken, Clemenceau was still very calm!
"First of all, from the perspective of the environment, the strength and weakness of the situation are already very obvious. After one of the two countries has an overwhelming advantage in the war situation, as long as the other side does not take too harsh actions, it is obviously irrational for the other side to take confrontation measures. Yes. Do you agree with this statement?" the prince asked.
"I understand what you mean. You mean that Germany already has an overwhelming advantage, while France is in a weak position, so France should submit? Is that so?" Clemenceau asked angrily.
"Listen to me! It's meaningless to be arrogant at this time!" Ruprecht said with some dissatisfaction: "It doesn't make any sense to continue this kind of hatred between France and Germany.
Alsace and Lorraine should not become an insurmountable obstacle between us. Since the time of Napoleon, France has lost too many chassis. If we want to talk about feuds, Britain and France are truly worthy of these words. But now, it does not prevent Britain and France from becoming allies. "
"France's population, resources, and national strength are already doomed to fail to become a first-class power. If Germany is willing to maintain France's existing international status and overseas colonial system, can real peace be achieved between Germany and France? After all, war is just A means to solve the problem, and if this means cannot be successful, why can’t your country change its mind? Do you want to go the same way as the British to the end, and then fail?” the prince asked rhetorically.
"I can understand France's obsession with the hegemony of the European continent, but after the war, the national power of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will surpass France, as will the Russians. If you rank by power, your country can only rank fourth. At this time, France will continue to fight for hegemony? I don't know if this is the arrogance or stupidity of the French!"
"I can't guarantee anything here today. I just put forward a point of view. France can maintain its own colony and world status. Then, how about making a cut with the British? The affairs of the European continent will be handled by the Europeans themselves, without the British. Intervene. Don’t rush to answer this question, go back and think about it, and then tell your president and prime minister my opinion. If you are unwilling to convey it, then I think, sooner or later, I can tell them my thoughts in person. Of course , by then it will be hard to say whether it will be in Brussels or somewhere else," said the prince.
"Now, back to what I said before, I came to the Western Front, and after all, I will use war to get what we deserve! I will use the blood of the enemy to forge my invincible reputation! Well done, General Joffre , can you think of a way to save France from this disaster and at the same time take care of my needs?" Ruprecht ignored Clemenceau and said to Joffre.
"You mean the Germans will concentrate on attacking the British?" Joffre said. "Is that kind of kindness in some way?"
"If conditions permit, I would naturally prefer to attack the British, but from the perspective of the front, the defense of the British is much better than that of your country. They have 40% of the troops on the entire Western Front, but only use 1/4 of the defense. and the British Air Force supported the sky on the Western Front. Then tell me, as a qualified commander, why should I let the French army, which is easier to deal with, not fight the British army? What?" Ruprecht asked with a smile.
"You...you mean to make us betray our allies?" Joffre finally heard something strange from the words. "Impossible! We are allies with the British at present. This alliance will not be dissolved!"
