It was late at night after Brian finished talking with Crown Prince Hirohito and Takaaki Kato. Although he was tired, his spirits were very high. In order to win over other countries to form an anti-German alliance and jointly deal with Germany, he can be said to have done his best.

Brian knew that it would be very difficult to defeat Germany by relying on the strength of the United States alone. Especially after Germany took over the vast colonies, it can be expected that Germany's industrial strength will take off further. When the time comes, if the United States wants to confront Germany, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult.

Therefore, if the United States wants to defeat Germany, there is only one way. That is to cooperate with other countries. The idea was to draw other countries into the anti-German alliance. Only in this way can the United States have the possibility of victory.

The United States does not only see countries that have enmity with Germany as potential targets to be wooed. Even other neutral countries, even Burussia, which they regarded as the devil, were also seen by them as objects to be wooed.

"Someone, go and invite Crown Prince Karl!" Brian commanded.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Crown Prince Karl of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also the focus of Brian's desire to woo him. Austria-Hungary, as the victorious country in this world war, was still very strong. Now their industrial strength is second only to that of the United States and Germany. military power, even stronger than the United States. Of course, more importantly, Austria-Hungary has always been the No. 2 power of the Central Powers and a hardcore ally of Germany. If Austria-Hungary were to abandon Germany, it would be a huge blow to Germany's prestige.

All the more so, Austria-Hungary and Germany were bordering. In the event of war, an attack could be launched directly on the German mainland. This will be an even greater threat to Germany.

Of course, Brian also knew that with the strength of Austria-Hungary, if a war broke out, it would be completely impossible to defeat Germany. It was impossible to even resist the German attack. However, if Austria-Hungary could hold out for a while, the armies of the anti-German alliance would be able to attack Germany from elsewhere. Even, directly through Austria-Hungary to start a war with Germany. At that time, even if Austria-Hungary is crushed, it will not be the business of the United States. In any case, the war was not fought on American soil. In that case, it would be possible to remove some of America's adversaries and ensure that the United States would become a world hegemon after the war.

As for whether Crown Prince Karl will agree to cooperate, Brian is not worried at all. According to what the United States has learned, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite hostile to Germany. If it weren't for the fact that Franz Joseph I was still breathing a sigh of relief, perhaps he would have openly opposed Germany a long time ago. In this way, it can also fully show that Crown Prince Karl is already a potential partner for them.

Crown Prince Karl was the focus of the banquet, and now he was young. Even though he is married, as the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he is undoubtedly the object of a one-night stand in the eyes of many noble ladies.

Although monogamy is practiced in European countries, it is normal for a man to have several lovers. Especially men of noble status, there are many lovers.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency the Secretary of State would like to be able to talk to you about something." The U.S. ambassador to Germany whispered to Crown Prince Karl.

Crown Prince Karl nodded, then broke free from the flowers and followed the American ambassador to Germany to the secret room.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for bothering you!" Brian looked humble.

"Your Excellency, you are so gracious." Crown Prince Karl said with a smile.

Although Crown Prince Karl is a little arrogant, he also thinks about many problems very simply. However, he is definitely not a fool. Even, Crown Prince Karl has always had a strong sense of crisis. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hostile to Germany all the time.

The theme of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the Austrian Empire, and the Austrians, like the Germans, were Germanic. Even the language is the same. This made Crown Prince Karl always worry that if Germany became stronger, it would annex the Austrian Empire, or even the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire. In this case, the rule of the Habsburgs would probably be over. This has always been something that Crown Prince Karl has tried to avoid. He didn't want to be a dead king.

Crown Prince Karl was also well aware that it would be difficult to stand against Germany by the strength of Austria-Hungary alone. They need more allies. Only in this way will it be possible to defeat Germany. The United States, on the other side of the ocean, is undoubtedly a very powerful country. Although the comprehensive national strength is not as good as Germany, it is definitely stronger than Austria-Hungary. Crown Prince Karl is already thinking about how to get on the line with the United States. It's just that before he really became the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there was something unjustifiable.

This time, Brian held a banquet, and he immediately decided to attend. Therefore, I naturally want to take advantage of this opportunity to contact the Americans.

Unexpectedly, the Americans also had the same idea. This gave Crown Prince Karl a feeling that the two sides hit it off.

"Your Royal Highness, I don't know what you think of Germany's military parade and ship parade this time?" Brian asked.

Crown Prince Karl raised his eyebrows, and then said: "The Germans have fully demonstrated their strong military strength. I have to admit that the military power of the Germans is indeed very strong. At least, Austria-Hungary was far inferior to it! Even I no longer had the courage to confront Germany. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, Austria-Hungary is a hardcore ally of Germany, and your two countries will only cooperate all the time, how can you confront each other? That's simply not possible! Brian said with a smile.

Crown Prince Karl glanced at Brian, then shook his head: "That's right, Austria-Hungary and Germany are now allies. However, the ambitions of the Germans were endless. As they grow stronger, will they tolerate the presence of another great power around them? That's almost impossible. So, we had to prepare early. Otherwise, the only way awaiting Austria-Hungary is its destruction! ”

Brian nodded, he knew that what Crown Prince Karl said was true. After all, if it were the United States, it would not allow a big country to emerge around it. This is also the reason why the United States has been sparing no effort to suppress Mexico. Almost all of the territories in the western part of the United States were snatched from Mexico. Once Mexico becomes stronger, no one can guarantee that they will not find the Americans to get back on the ground.
