There is no love for no reason in the world, there is no hate for no reason, it is not a good thing to be courteous for nothing, and Americans give so many benefits, so what do they want to do for themselves? The prince looked at the other with a puzzled expression.

"We only hope that your country will stand on the side of the United States of America in the next Hawaii issue and the aftermath of the war, and it is Russia and your country that can now uphold justice." Roosevelt finally said what he meant, and it was not easy for a proud man and a proud country to say this.

"The battle is so bad, how do you want to deal with the aftermath? Do you want to carve up the Philippines with Japan or take Samoa back? Don't even think about these two things! Even Hawaii is dangerous, and you can only blame yourself for that. As for the United States of America? We can help diplomatically, but it is impossible to send troops or take other strong action against us! The prince said.

To say, will the Japanese take Hawaii? The prince thought it was unlikely, but there was a premise that the Americans would have to respond strongly enough in Hawaii, for example, before the arrival of the Japanese fleet, that the deployment of the army on Hawaii would take time and resources. If the Americans don't react strongly enough, the Japanese will naturally take it easily, but if they react, then the cost of the Japanese occupation will skyrocket until it is no longer bearable!

And what the prince meant was that if they wanted to stop the Japanese from occupying this place, then the cost must be high enough, and the Americans needed at least tens of thousands of ground troops to decisively suppress the rebellion of the local Japanese expatriates, and then make preparations for a protracted war! Let the Japanese know that it is difficult to retreat.

"We also know that it is useless to put our hopes in mediation and diplomacy, but we really do not have enough strength to stop the actions of the Japanese right now. When fists don't solve the problem, it's obviously not a good idea to solve the problem with your mouth. Roosevelt sighed.

"Now, if you lose the courage to fight, then no one can help you, and if you want to hold Hawaii, then you have to have courage and action? If you can deploy 15,000 U.S. troops on the island, then the Japanese will weigh the cost of the island, and if you can deploy 30,000 U.S. troops, then the Japanese will not have similar thoughts at all! The prince said.

"But our navy in the Pacific is very weak, and we simply don't have the ability to escort the army over?" Roosevelt said in surprise.

"So what? It is equally impossible for the Japanese forces to blockade the whole of Hawaii! Even with the range of the Asama-class armored cruisers, it is absolutely impossible to cruise in Hawaii for long, and now the Japanese Navy is not moving! You can seize this time! ”

"There are risks, but there are disadvantages without the Navy. But know that it is more expensive for the Japanese to cross thousands of miles to fight for Hawaii! Mere army transportation and supply is an almost unavoidable problem, and this time, the Japanese are testing, testing the reaction of the United States, and if the Americans give up because of the first two failures, then the Japanese will not hesitate to send a fleet. And if your country can show enough toughness, and the huge cost and long distance will naturally make Japan give up, it is not so much a military contest as a game of courage and will! The prince replied.

"It's an adventure!" Roosevelt said with a deep breath.

"Is this an adventure? At that time, the Battle of Sedang between the German Empire and France was called an adventure, but it was only tens of thousands of troops, and they didn't even dare to pay for this, so what was there to talk about marching into the Far East and taking revenge on the Japanese? It was already a miracle that the Japanese were able to reach Samoa, and their strength could not support a longer expedition! The prince's words were full of temptation, and this gave the tough man on the other side his courage again.

"This is also your chance to rise to power, and if you can take part in the defense of the war and command a force of volunteers and mercenaries, then once you succeed in suppressing the rebellion in Hawaii, the prestige you gain will make people ignore the mistakes you made in this war. What do you think? Want to give it a try? The prince's words made the latter feel a little surprised and confused.

"Mercenaries? Do you still think this is the Middle Ages or the Napoleonic era? Roosevelt asked with a smile. Or is it like what your country did in the Qing-Japanese War? ”

"The latter, of course." The prince said after sinking for a moment.

"It's expensive enough to be in Hawaii worse than yours in the Far East, and it's not just about money. You're going to have something else to ask for! Roosevelt smelled a hint of intrigue in the prince's answer.

As Roosevelt said, this time the Blue Army faced a more severe situation than the Qing-Japanese War, and if Japan really wanted to fight at any cost, then the whole of Hawaii would become an island, and it was unknown how many troops and supplies could be transported over at that time! In a hurry, it is also unknown how many troops and supplies Hawaii might eventually bring in. To put it mildly, if you are unlucky, it is possible that the entire Blue Legion will be wiped out by the other side directly on the transport ship!

The decisive factor in this battle is to see whether Japan can fight or not, as well as the cost issue, if Japan really dares to fight, then the Blue Army and the US army in Hawaii are trapped on an isolated island without foreign aid! The situation is very bad! And in the face of this situation, the Germans are still willing to help, then what is sought is definitely not just an economic benefit! I'm afraid it's a quasi-alliance in politics and even militarily!

"And what do you, or Germany, need?" Roosevelt asked.

"The Blue Legion is naturally out for money, and as a military force of a state, all we want and can ask for is money! However, as far as Germany is concerned, there will be many aspects of cooperation between us, and if you can agree to some of our conditions, then it is not impossible to do another three-country intervention to return Liao! What do you think? That's a good condition, right? The prince said leisurely.

"So what does the United States have to give?" Roosevelt took off his glasses, wiped a cold sweat and said.

"Deeper cooperation, at present is also a plan for me, if your conditions are not satisfactory to the government, just when I didn't say it, you have wasted too many opportunities, I hope to grasp it this time!" The prince said.
