Now the prince finally has a feeling that the poor have become a tyrant, the Americans' 50 million loans are actually a lot, the prince can clearly feel that the Kaiser has been a little tempted, maybe the Americans add a little more, the Kaiser may really sell these islands, 50 million US dollars a year, although it is to be repaid, but for Germany that is now beginning to prepare for the storm, it is really a relief in the snow, let's put it this way, this money basically reimburses all the funds for the new warships of the German Navy every year. $50 million is about 20 million pounds, and if 2.5 million is a dreadnought, that's 8! By the way, you can also build up strategic reserves of armored combat vehicles, aircraft, and all kinds of materials!

Historically, Germany's military expenditure in 1913 was only 2 billion marks, that is, 100 million pounds, which accounted for half of the national budget! The Americans pay you 20% directly! The Kaiser can't be tempted by such a large sum of money, and if the prince is not tempted, it is false, because the interest-free loan from the United States to Bavaria is calculated separately! Without such sufficient funds, why did Bavaria expand its army and help Austria-Hungary to increase its military strength? Don't look at Ruprecht's toughness in the peace talks, but if it really comes to the point where it might collapse, he is still a little hesitant in his heart. After all www.biquge.info you have everything if you win, and if you lose, it's really gone!

"Well, I'm the president of the United States now, you need to convince me why I accept your request!" The Kaiser was still not at ease with the prince's claims, because he felt that the price on his side was obviously higher.

"It is easier to deal with the government, because now the contradictions between the United States and Britain are comprehensive and irreconcilable, and the British can share the colonies with the French, but the British really have no extra colonies to give to the United States, and they are still grabbing the market and grabbing the raw material production area, and the strong national pride of the United States also makes the United States always ready to launch a revenge war against Japan, so it is impossible for the United States and the Anglo-Japanese alliance to resolve it."

"The real trouble lies with those capitalists, the Americans are capital-driven politics, once the war starts, it is impossible to get the United States not to supply the Entente, maybe not directly to Britain, but it will definitely be given to France, which is a challenge to our strategy of breaking diplomatic relations at sea, and in some specific situations it will even lead to a reversal of the situation, and the only thing that can resolve this is to establish closer ties with those capitalists in the United States."

"On the one hand, we can open up the African market more, but at present, our colonies are relatively poor, and the only fertile colony in the whole of Africa that has a greater chance of obtaining is the Congo, and although the Congo is rich in mineral resources, it needs capital to exploit, and the Americans do not have many investment places to choose from, so if we promise to take the Congo and then share the opportunity equally, they will consider being on our side."

"Of course, giving benefits is only one aspect, the most important thing is bondage, and we must find a way to tie some of the Americans' purse strings to our national fortunes, whether it be loans or other things, only if they realize that if the German Empire collapses, their investments and their money will be wasted. Of course, I'm not that proficient in this, and we need help from economists. ”

"Is that enough?" The Kaiser thought for a moment and asked.

"It's not enough, we also need to convince the Americans that even if the German Reich wins, it will never pose a threat to the United States. And this requires us to exercise restraint in our expansion, and the capitalists and aristocrats in the country are sometimes too crazy in their thinking. Ruprecht thought for a moment and said.

"So you insist that the Eastern Front win, and the Western Front is drawn, I'm afraid it's because of this, right?" The Kaiser thought for a moment and asked.

"War is about profit, not killing, and profit needs to be weighed against what we pay and what we get, and we can tear down a decaying building with a single push, and get enough to support the development and development of the empire for 50 years or more. So why do we have to pay several times the price to get a thatched house? What if we use up decades of empire accumulation and get nothing? The prince asked rhetorically.

"It's complicated, and the situation inside Germany is nowhere near as simple as in Bavaria, so we'll talk about that later." The Kaiser also found this question a bit difficult to solve. Although the Kaiser did not know that he was set aside in the late stage of World War I, but after becoming emperor for many years, he has been able to understand the constraints of all parties very well, and he even misses the time when Bismarck was alive, the iron-blooded prime minister can always handle all aspects of things very well, but now .......

"I give you all the right to negotiate, I only accept the result, the specific process can be discussed, the colonies in the Far East can theoretically be completely abandoned, as you said, we must first get through the current difficulties before we can talk about the future." The Kaiser finally set the tone.

After obtaining the Kaiser's approval, a series of things were done, and the prince informed Secretary of State Root of the news, and then began to prepare for his trip to the Americas. This time, the Kaiser gave the prince a high-level foreign visit. Admiral Boll and Foreign Minister Herbert were to travel with the Kaiser Wilhelm, while the Imperial German Navy accepted the request of the U.S. Navy to send two of its most advanced warships, the battleship Nassau and the battlecruiser Blucher, to the United States. And I don't know if it was intentional, the German fleet set off first, and before the German delegation arrived in the United States, it first came to New York.

"Gentlemen, God has given us a chance, and the colonies of the Far East, which we cannot obtain with iron and fire, can now be obtained with a little money. Let us get ready to meet the prince who has come from faraway Germany to the United States of America. When Roosevelt received the news that Ruprecht was coming to the United States, the American president said this.

"We must use this opportunity to strengthen our relations with the German Empire, although we may not be able to be true friends, but at this time, we still need to help each other, we have the money they need, they have the colonies we need." In a letter to the leaders of the major parliamentary parties, Roosevelt wrote:

In Roosevelt's view, although the first meeting between Root and Ruprecht did not gain any advantage, but everything went according to plan, the Germans were still very sincere about this proposal, and Roosevelt was also a test when he proposed it at that time, and now he can be sure that if the United States offers a reasonable price, then the United States has every chance to achieve what the previous president spent tens of millions of dollars and the American fleet lost troops and failed to do, and he was a little excited when he thought about it.
