Chapter 2011 Wrong Judgment II

(page 1/1)

So, so far, the British have made a mistake in the navy, that is, they don't know anything about the aircraft carrier unit of the High Seas Fleet! After all, this fleet is permanently stationed in the Baltic Sea, and even often operated in the port area of ​​​​the Russians before. The British can't stretch their hands so long!

Therefore, after the formation of the two logical chains of sea and land, the British have determined their maritime safety, and after the Germans on land will take the French knife, the psychological pressure on the British is already very small. And at this time, let's look at the results of the peace talks between Ruprecht and the British! The Germans stopped bombing most parts of London, England. Although it was an exchange of benefits, it is now a gesture of goodwill to the British. Although the Germans claim to want the British to shed more blood, the British see it as a gesture of goodwill. It's even more realistic!

Now, in Asquith's view, the Germans have given up their attempt to completely defeat Britain militarily, and they have also made a gesture of goodwill. The prince said that there must be enough benefits to stop the war. A little Asquith is convinced. So, this time, the vast majority of the Germans' demands for payment will be made by the French...  

As for the Germans wanting some more benefits from the British? The United Kingdom is not something that cannot be considered. If Sudan is not enough, Kenya and Uganda can also give it! Kenya, in particular, happened to be with German East Africa. As for the British southern Africa that Ruprecht wants? In Asquith's view, this is asking for a lot of money, and according to the principle of negotiation, at this time, the British can sit back and pay back the money! After all, in the eyes of the British, the Germans have given up the idea of ​​a complete military victory, so if it is finally reflected on the negotiating table, then the requirements will not be very high.

Of course, this time I'm afraid the French will suffer. God knows what benefits the Germans will get from the French this time! Is it the entire west coast of Africa? Or Algiers? Or are the French in Mali, Central Africa and other places in central Africa? Forget it, this question is not clear, anyway, it has nothing to do with the British! Of course, morally speaking, the British will definitely support the French! But that's all!

However, while the British breathed a sigh of relief because of the misjudgment, American President Roosevelt also misjudged the situation in Washington, across the ocean. No way, what Crown Prince Ruprecht has done is really perfect. Except for a very small number of core personnel, no one knows the real purpose of the Crown Prince. At this time, when the Americans discovered that their abacus was not on the same line as that of the Germans, the American commander was also anxious. After the communication between the two parties, Earl Hogner of the Bavarian Embassy in the United States, as the special envoy of Bavaria, went to the White House to communicate with Theodore Roosevelt on some matters of mutual concern.

(Yes, you read that right, historically Bavaria has embassies or consulates in some countries. This is called political correctness in Germany...)

"Mr. Earl, I invite you to come here today to express the US government's concern about the situation in Europe. Judging from the current situation, Germany's behavior has completely deviated from our original plan. If I remember correctly , our core is to suppress Britain, instead of concentrating the main force of the army on the French, and then enter Paris again. The consequences of this are very serious, the British who are the culprits escaped punishment, and the hatred between your country and France will Keep going," Roosevelt said.

"Especially recently, your country has negotiated with the British and even reached some agreements, which makes the United States of America feel a sense of being betrayed. Shouldn't you explain this issue?" Roosevelt said There is a hint of anger.

"We once gave the French a chance. When Crown Prince Ruprecht met the French representative, we made it very clear that this time Germany can guarantee that the border between France and Germany will remain unchanged, and there will not be too many in Africa. Territorial requirements, even we don't need to pay compensation, as long as interest-free loans are used as compensation. You know, the two sides have been fighting for more than 2 years, and more than 1 million German soldiers have been killed or injured by the French guns. It is enough to show our sincerity to make such a proposal under the circumstances of absolute superiority! And what we have to do is to make the French and the British draw a clear line. Do you think our request is too much?" Earl Hogner said righteously Said.

"Actually, it might be easier for the French to accept it if they were allowed to stand still," Roosevelt said.

"That's not going to work at all. Crown Prince Ruprecht and your country have exactly the same ideas when it comes to dealing with the British. We must cut off the possibility of British and French alliances again. You don't want to see it not long after the end of the war." , Britain and France stand together again? If so, what is the point of this catastrophic war?"

"We must let the hands of the French be indirectly stained with the blood of the British army. Only in this way can we let France go, otherwise, for the safety of the empire, we would rather destroy France completely! We did not let the French and the British fight each other , I just want them to get out of the way!"

"Besides, your Excellency should also have some understanding of the military. We do this not only for political purposes, but also for military purposes. You should have read the report given to you by General Pershing, right? You should have some knowledge about the situation on the Western Front A general understanding, right?" Hogner changed the topic and said.

To be honest, Theodore Roosevelt really has a little research on the military. Let’s not talk about history. Before the Spanish-American War, he was the undersecretary of the Navy. The level may not be very high, but the basic military literacy is still there. Therefore, when Ruprecht formulates strategies for Earl Hogner, in addition to politics, some military matters can also be involved.

"If you want to eliminate the enemy's heavy forces to the greatest extent, then the best way is to encircle and annihilate the war, just like how we wiped out millions of Russians in Poland. Unfortunately, under normal circumstances, we have It is impossible for the British to fight a war of encirclement and annihilation similar to the Eastern Front. This is not only because the defense line on the Western Front has been repaired for 2 years. It is not easy to break through, and more importantly, the British have too many options to avoid heavy forces Surrounded!" Hogner said.
