Chapter 1916 The Americans and the French One

At this time, Roosevelt, who was in the White House, was also busy, preparing to welcome the French delegation. Next to him was the man who had visited the German army with the black old man Pershing, squatted in the trenches on the Western Front, and ran on the Eastern Front. Ma, General Marshall, who had been on a tank in Asia Minor, this new star in the US Army was highly valued by Roosevelt. When Pershing still wanted to stay in Germany to pay attention to the transfer of the German army, Marshall was sent back to China as Theodore Roosevelt's military adviser. After all, the last time the Americans had a large-scale land battle was when they competed with the Spaniards for Cuba. Was it the scale? The troops invested by the Americans are not as many as the German army on the western front. Roosevelt has no concept of land warfare!

Roosevelt knew that the French would definitely fool him, so he had to find a knowledgeable person to make a point. Of course, as for political issues, that is what Roosevelt himself decides. Recently, Roosevelt has a big plan, a very powerful plan, and once this plan is successful, the U.S. imperialism may become the biggest winner!

Three days later, the French delegation arrived in Washington secretly. Because of their respective positions and embarrassing attitudes, both the Americans and the French tried to keep a low profile. There was no guard of honor on the South Lawn of the White House to welcome them, and no salutes were fired. A convoy arrived at the White House under the protection of the army and police, and Ernst and his team walked into the official residence of the President of the United States very low-key. In a White House conference room, Roosevelt and Marshall received French representatives Ernst and Weygand.

"For human civilization, this war can be regarded as the largest catastrophe in human history. The flames of war spread throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Millions of people lost their claims in the war, and countless Tens of millions of people have been displaced. Decades, even hundreds of years of wealth accumulated by human civilization have been wiped out in just a few days. And now, we are sitting here to end this war." Roosevelt said He made this opening remark that he seemed to think was tall.

"And we have come here to end this war. It will do neither us nor our enemies any good to fight any further, and to the United States of America's willingness to act as a bridge between us and the Allies, I represent the French Republic With the highest thanks." Ernst Mooney's diplomatic rhetoric was also pure. Well, the opening remarks are over, and now everyone is going to talk about business!

"You should already know that the Legion of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Army have already gone to the Western Front under the leadership of Crown Prince Ruprecht. This time, counting various troops, the Germans will send at least 800,000 to the Western Front In this case, their troops on the Western Front will reach 3.6 million, and this is not the peak of the Germans! If it is delayed for another 2 months, the Mackensen Army and other Bavarian regiments on the Eastern Front can also reach the Western Front , At that time, there will be no problem with the military strength of the Allied Powers exceeding 4 million. Don’t you think it’s time for the French Republic to make a decision?” Roosevelt said.

As an ally of the Germans, Pershing can naturally obtain a lot of information, which will eventually be collected by Roosevelt. Of course, it is precisely because he is an ally that Roosevelt cannot say too much. For example, the Bavarian Army It is absolutely impossible to say how many tanks, planes, and combat troops there are. Although it has been said, the Germans can't do anything if they know, but there is a saying? If you do the first grade of junior high school, I can do the fifteenth grade. After the Germans fought World War I, it was time for the Americans to fight the Pacific War!

"However, we have 4.5 million troops on the Western Front. (The strength has been raised a bit.) Even if the Germans have the support of the Eastern Front, we still have an advantage of up to 900,000 troops. Even if it is difficult for us to capture the German defense line, But our defense is still fine.

General Marshall has been to the Western Front, and he should know that whoever attacks on the Western Front suffers. " Ernst said easily.

"Perhaps the 4.5 million troops is just a theoretical number. According to the intelligence and estimates we have collected, all the troops on the Western Front, including reserves and logistics units, add up to only 4 million. From the perspective of actual combat, 3.6 million The German army fought against the 4 million British and French troops. The outcome of this match is already obvious. Especially the Bavarian Army, on the battlefield of Asia Minor, the French army was unable to overwhelm the opponent with a 2-1 advantage." Marshall said.

"We don't think so. If Germany was the same as it was half a year ago, then this large army gathered on the Western Front is indeed powerful. But now, the internal turmoil in Germany has not been resolved, and the prince will forcefully launch an attack. We've already lost half the battle. We're not worried that we won't be able to sustain this battle," Ernst said.

"Don't worry? You guys are here to fuck! Look at your winter offensive. The Germans beat you while fighting the civil war, and then held you in place with one hand. You are jumping!" Marshall felt deep in his heart. Despise the French who want to save face and suffer.

"Well, we are politicians, and we represent the governments of the two countries, not military games." Roosevelt raised his eyes and said, "Now, let's make things clear. You should know that the German army is about to The offensive has been launched. This prince has never fought an uncertain war, and has never lost a single battle. Your Excellency should be well aware of this. Now, we can still talk about some issues, but if it is later In some cases, for example, after one month, the entire campaign is launched, and some issues cannot be discussed.”

"Although we sympathize with your country's situation, we also want to continue our friendship with the French Republic. However, we are close allies with the German Empire, and everything we do with you must not violate our alliance with Germany. So, it would be a pity if an opportunity was missed.”

Roosevelt, who was in a dominant position, naturally would not be courteous to the French for a long time, and then put the facts and reason. He was dubbed Roosevelt I by the Kaiser. Someone gave it! But this did not prevent him from forcing the French to submit.

And these words really worked. As soon as Roosevelt finished speaking, Marshall obviously noticed that Wey Gang was trembling involuntarily. Well, trembling is not an exaggeration. And Ernst on the opposite side was obviously a little nervous, and even reflected it on his expression.

"Then, let me talk about the conditions of the French Republic first." Half a minute later, Ernst said.
