Chapter 2003 The American Ambassador
"What's the situation?" When Prime Minister Ribo and Petain walked into the French President's office, they saw a figure who absolutely should not be here. The person sitting next to French President Armand Fallier was not Any senior French official they know isn't even French! But the US ambassador to France!
"Let me introduce to you, this is Prime Minister Ribo, you should have met, this is Chief of General Staff Petain." President Armand said to the American ambassador.
"Okay, let's save the polite time, the situation has changed very dramatically, even disastrously for your country. There are differences in Germany's future strategy, and this time, Ruprech The crown prince seems to be in a very disadvantageous position. The Germans and the British have reached some understandings and started to implement them. If this direction continues, then the Germans may have a heavy hammer on your country, and even more terrible Yes, your country may have to pay a high enough price to end this war." The American ambassador said seriously.
"Has an understanding been reached? So quickly?" Prime Minister Ribo said in surprise.
"That's right, the Germans informed us of some content. The German Western Front Corps seems to be preparing to launch an attack on your country. The British sent a large number of previously captured German merchant ships to Spain as a neutral party. And ours in Spain The personnel also confirmed this. After these ships arrived in Spain, some key compartments were temporarily closed and some parts were removed. As collateral. If Britain and Germany can reach an agreement on the war issue, then these ships must be returned To Germany. And now, according to our information, in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, representatives of Britain and Germany have met at least once, and next, the British representative may go to Brussels to meet with Crown Prince Ruprecht.” The United States said the ambassador. "So, for your country, now has come to a very critical moment."
"Doesn't the United States of America have a good relationship with Germany? At the same time, it also has goodwill towards us. We should prevent Britain and Germany from approaching. At the beginning, didn't your government say that it could guarantee France's territory and interests? If your country can extend If we help, we will give your country enough in return." Prime Minister Ribo was a little panicked.
"We can accept your country's request before. As long as your country can end the war." President Armand also said aside.
"Sorry, we can't completely tear ourselves apart for the French and the Germans. In the previous situation, we could indeed act as an intermediary to put pressure on the Germans, but on the European continent, if the German Legion decides to crush someone, there is nothing we can do , Maybe the United States of America and Germany will have confrontation on some issues later, but this confrontation will have no effect on your country, because France will be finished by then!" said the American ambassador.
The so-called Germany spared France and hit Britain hard, it is in the best interests of Germany and the United States to get benefits from the British. The Germans hit their most important enemy, and the Americans also used the hands of the Germans to report the war in the Philippines. At the same time, it ruled out the influence of the British when fighting the Japanese later. And Americans are willing to pay more for this plan. This plan is mutually beneficial for the United States and Germany. It is the most rational choice. It was also the plan Ruprecht had made before.
But, how do you say it? You can't always expect your friends to be sane! Ruprecht can make decisions that are currently best for both the United States and Germany. However, this does not mean that other hilltops or powerful factions in Germany can also make the most suitable decision! And more importantly, the Americans cannot guarantee that the French can make rational decisions at this critical juncture!
yes,
This time, in the eyes of the Americans, one-third of the reasons for the decision made by the Germans came from within Germany, and the other third was due to the low profile of the British. The reason for the last third is that the French are too unreasonable! My own capital can't be kept fast enough. At this time, it is obvious that as long as I cooperate with the Germans, the war can end, and then the Americans are more convenient to be the middleman, and then make a profit based on the principle of eating the plaintiff and the defendant. This result is absolutely happy for all the three countries of the United States, Germany and France, and then only the British were cheated, but now? Madan! The situation is completely different!
Ruprecht’s kindness to the French has not been reciprocated. This is not only a matter of embarrassing the crown prince, but also a challenge to his internal authority. Other factions in Germany have many reasons to beat the French. The reason is very simple. The French I don't want to give in, and France is the best to deal with! If you don't hit me at this time, who will you hit? Perhaps no one in Germany believes that they can cross the English Channel, but more than 90% of German soldiers are still confident about entering Paris. In this case, it is normal for Ruprecht to make adjustments, and if analyzed from the perspective of personal character, as a real person in power, at some point, their emotions will directly reflect on the decision-making, According to the arrogance developed by the prince who was invincible at the beginning, the French's shameless behavior may have really angered Ruprecht, and it happened that at this time, the British extended an olive branch!
As for the influence of the Americans? Although Ruprecht knew that the previous plan was the best, this plan was not the only one! When it cannot be implemented due to various resistances, the Germans, who are full of cards, can choose other things! In fact, the bottom line of the Americans is very low. As long as Germany does not completely wipe out France, even under certain circumstances, it is barely acceptable to let the German army enter Paris, and then squeeze the last drop of oil from the French... No way, who told the Americans to rely on the Germans to fight the Japanese? And the United States has absolutely no reason to go to war for the French and Germans, right? Unless the Germans want to completely kill Britain and France, because Germany, which controls the whole of Europe, is terrible. Of course, this is almost impossible. Because the Germans are not that strong and do not have the idea.
Generally speaking, the bottom line for Americans is that Britain and France will not perish. At the same time, after the war, at least one country in Britain and France can contain Germany. As long as this bottom line is not touched, the Americans will not really tear themselves apart from the Germans. In fact, Ruprecht's previous idea was to severely damage Britain's tolerance of France, which is the same as Americans think. France has retained its vitality and can contain Germany, while the United States is very willing to see the British half-dead!
