Chapter 931 It’s so Obvious

"The United States joins the war? Haha, don't be kidding. How could the Americans join the war over this? They wish that this war would last longer and be more brutal, and then all the European countries would be finished together. Americans Not a friend of the Allies, but definitely not a friend of the Allies." The prince smiled and said, but believe me, the Americans will regret giving up pressure in the South Pacific.

"The Americans chose to relax, and we may be the most affected. But the loss to the United States is probably not huge, right?" Caliput said.

"Haha." The prince sneered. "For the two countries in the confrontation, the strength of the opponent is equal to the weakening of itself. After the Japanese are freed up, they will help the British with peace of mind? Are the Japanese really so kind? You guys underestimate the ambition of the Japanese ”

"Japan will never be satisfied with occupying some islands from the Pacific. To be honest, the value of these islands is more reflected in military strategy, which determines the strategic depth between the United States and Japan. But the economic value is very small, so, In order to make their wallets fuller, they will definitely take other actions," the prince said.

"So what do you think the Japanese will do?" Caliput asked.

"In two days, just read the newspaper. Although I haven't published an article in the newspaper for a long time, this time, if done well, there will be unexpected results!" The prince gave up.

A few days later, such commentaries appeared in newspapers in Germany and some neutral countries. In the article, the author describes what Japan has done in extremely spicy writing. And use very profound language to analyze Japan's possible strategic actions in this next step.

"Japan, the devil from the East, once again showed its ferocious face in front of the world. They did not give up after seizing some of our colonies that were originally transferred to the United States. They even planned to swallow them all, and they did not hesitate to resort to force. ! The whole of East and Southeast Asia has gradually fallen into the control of this devil. Although the Japanese have chosen to temporarily retreat due to international pressure, they will never give up!"

"When the Japanese's eastward advance is temporarily frustrated, these greedy hyenas will definitely choose a new direction as a breakthrough. To the north, they already have the Philippines, and to the west, they are allies of the Japanese. So now, the Japanese Where do you want to develop? The answer is naturally the colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Far East!"

"Dutch East Indies, what a vast land it is, with a land area of ​​nearly 2 million square kilometers and an even wider sea area. It is rich in oil, rubber, copper ore and other non-ferrous metal resources. There are tropical crops such as rice and cane sugar, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands lacks the ability to protect them. Facing Japan, a country with no bottom line. This place is simply undefended!"

"In peacetime,

Japan may still be able to barely suppress the restlessness in its heart under the pressure of major powers, but now? Japan has transformed from a small country in the Far East into the most powerful country in the region! The United Kingdom and France, which controlled most of Southeast Asia, also became Japanese accomplices. There is no force that can stop the Japanese in the entire Far East! "

"More than 20 years ago, Japan launched a war against the Qing Dynasty. Most people in the world chose to remain silent, allowing the country to receive hundreds of millions of silver indemnities and huge commercial conveniences. In 1898, the Japanese went to war without declaring it. They secretly attacked the US fleet and took the Philippines into their hands, achieving a qualitative leap! In the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, the Japanese repeated their old tricks. They even defeated a European power and completely established themselves as number one in the Far East. The status of a powerful country. And now, they are ready to make a leap from a regional power to a world-class power!"

"We don't know how far the Japanese ambitions will eventually expand! When the vast East and Southeast Asia cannot satisfy Japan's appetite, they may even head west, rush through the Strait of Malacca and enter the Indian Ocean, and possibly continue east and enter Oceania. , who knows? But one thing is certain, Japan will never stop unless this arrogant and evil country finally collapses!"

In the eyes of ordinary people, such an article can just take a glance and pass it by. However, in the eyes of truly caring people or national leaders related to the situation, the information contained in it is quite huge! Naturally, the first to bear the brunt was the Dutch, who might lose their colonies. The Dutch government asked the British government the next day whether Britain had binding rights on certain countries within the Allied Powers.

The British hold a noncommittal attitude towards this. They just said they were trying to maintain regional stability. But now that the European War has broken out, the British do not have the ability to stop certain countries. In the eyes of the Dutch, such a reply is already quite dangerous.

The Dutchman's action was as expected by the prince. But that’s not Ruprecht’s focus. The ambitions of the Japanese are definitely not small. What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity it was when the First World War broke out. Knowing that the German Pacific colonies in their hands were not secure, the Japanese naturally chose to look for a "guaranteed return." Unlike the relevant agreement between Germany and Germany, Germany has no obligation or need to bring justice to the Dutch. And Britain and France are now even less likely to fall out with the Japanese over the Netherlands. Therefore, in the prince's opinion, in this dimension, Japan's attack on the Dutch East Indies is certain. It is just a matter of time and how much it will eat.

Ruprecht is indifferent to this behavior of the Japanese. First of all, the Netherlands and Germany do not have much direct relationship. Secondly, if Japan really eats the Dutch East Indies, then for the United States, It's definitely a big thrill.

Based on the principle that as its opponents strengthen, it weakens itself. Even if the United States does not take action personally, it will definitely go further and further away from the Allies! and increase support for the Allies. Even after World War I, the United States would seek cooperation with Germany on the Far East issue in order to contain Japan. And this result is what His Highness the Prince absolutely wants to see. But the only regret now is that the President of the United States is not Theodore Roosevelt or Wilson. But William Taft lacked courage.

What the prince didn't expect was that his article made the Japanese feel a crisis. After all, the impact of such a large-scale whale swallowing operation was quite large. Based on the principle that what falls into one's pocket is one's own, a series of negotiations between Britain and Japan started on these matters!
