Chapter 1994 Political Blackmail Three
"This operation seems to be very difficult. It reminds me of Prime Minister Bismarck's diplomacy. He is a person who can really balance the various relationships facing Germany." Prince Albert said.
"Thank you for the compliment." The prince said with a smile.
"Well, how do you need me to cooperate now?" Prince Albert asked.
"The former British First Sea Lord, Prince Louis Mountbatten, Marquess of Milford Haven, will also come to Brussels with this delegation. You can go to the Netherlands to meet him. The attitude can be friendly. That's it." Prince Said.
"I understand, the poor Prince Mountbatten was deposed at the beginning of the war because of his unusual relationship with the empire, and now, the British want to use his special status to draw closer to the empire." Prince Albert said with a sigh.
(Prince Louis Mountbatten's wife is the princess of the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Rhine. She is also related to another big family in Germany, the Mecklenburg family. And the prince's son is even more famous. He is a famous man in history. Lord Mountbatten, who created the partition of India!)
No way, before World War I, the relationship between the royal families in Europe was so intricate. When peace talks are needed, the blood of some top nobles becomes a condition that can be used. For example, Prince Louis Mountbatten. It is natural to take advantage of the relationship with the three grand duchies of Germany.
And by the same token, the prince is also taking advantage of this relationship. Choosing to meet in the Netherlands must be to let the French know the news. Even if the French don’t know, Duke Hendrick, the Duke of Mecklenburg and husband of Queen Wilhelmina, will find a way to send the news to In the hands of the French. Then, under the right circumstances, Americans will also get the news, so next. It's time to see the tricks!
"So what's the list of people meeting with the British this time?" Prince Albert asked.
"You and I will naturally be on the list, and General Crook can participate. On the British side, there can only be the Foreign Secretary and Prince Mountbatten. In addition, both sides can add a clerk." The prince thought I want to say.
"This seems inappropriate? The number of people negotiating is not equal." Prince Albert said.
"I've given them a lot of face. If it was after the war, the British Foreign Secretary and Prince Mountbatten would have to use an audience if they wanted to see me. Because in the future, I will be the king of Bavaria and the regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! We want to send a signal to the outside world, that is, the empire negotiated with the British in an advantageous situation, and the British accepted their weak position. After the negotiation is over, we can send some easing signals so that the Americans and the French Some misjudgments occurred," said the prince.
"Some signs of easing?" Prince Albert asked curiously.
"Yes, some easing signals, such as stopping the air strikes on London, and then we will drop the bombs to Paris!" A sneer appeared on the corner of the prince's mouth!
"Fuck! There is such an operation?!" Prince Albert was shocked! If the prince hadn't revealed his plan, Prince Albert, an outsider, would really not know the prince's attitude towards Britain and France. He will be played around like the leaders of Britain, France and the United States, and finally complete his performance like a marionette according to Ruprecht's plan!
"So what if the French want to negotiate with us at this time?" Shocked, Prince Albert continued to ask.
"Unless the French grant our request,
Otherwise, I would just maintain a channel of communication with the French and not negotiate, because I have already said what I want to say, and they only have two options: agree or veto. Of course, as the husband of Queen Wilhelmina, Duke Hendrick can contact the French in private. He only needs to tell the French the fact that the prerequisite for ending the war on the Western Front is that Germany must get what it wants. The return you want is either from the British or from the French! Let the French figure it out! said Ruprecht.
"Then when do you think the Americans will come to us?" Prince Albert asked the last question of the day.
"The initial contact will be after you meet with Prince Louis Mountbatten. After we finish talking with the British, the Americans will quickly send a person with sufficient status to contact us. As for the attitude of negotiating with the Americans? It is also very simple. First, Germany can treat France with leniency, but the premise must be that the French are willing to cooperate with us. Second, we understand the United States’ concerns about the international situation, so we can guarantee the independence of France, but at the same time, the United States must also cooperate with us. Should not be too deeply involved in European affairs, France should not be an ally of the United States! Third, Germany can help the United States solve the most powerful sword in the hands of the largest Britain! But the United States must pay an extra price! Because this is not for the empire Must!" said the Prince.
Americans don't want to see Germany become bigger and stronger, and Germany naturally doesn't want to see Americans reach out to Europe. The prince can't just cut off the connection between Britain and France, and the United States hooked up with the French again. Bar? Then this matter is even more troublesome! Therefore, the prince must declare his position on this issue, and be tough enough! Don't hesitate to bet all your chips when necessary!
As for getting rid of the strongest sword in the hands of the British, it is natural to attack the Grand Fleet. Although this is also the goal of the prince's plan, the Americans don't know it! In fact, in the eyes of the Americans, if the land battle Germany can really make dumplings for the entire British Expeditionary Force. Then heavy damage to the Grand Fleet is not a necessary condition for the British to surrender. After all, if the British refuse to surrender, then prepare to accept the end of millions of troops being annihilated! You know, the total population of the UK is just over 45 million...
However, if the British fleet continues to remain after the war, it may be a long-term concern for Germany, but it is a near-term worry for the Americans! Once the United States and Japan go to war, it is naturally impossible for the British who have just been hit hard to jump out and join the Japanese to deal with the Americans, but for the same reason, if the British "wholesale" a large number of their warships to Japan, what will happen? Can the Americans stop the British from selling warships? Obviously impossible! Why don't the British do this kind of thing that not only helps their allies, but also makes money? Therefore, the Americans must be more eager than the Germans to hope that the British fleet will disappear from this world! However, in this world, there is nothing that does not need to pay a price!
