Chapter 1918 Slow Down First
"I am sure that these three conditions are very difficult for us to accept. The first condition makes us turn our back on our fighting allies, and the second condition makes France lose the war." Ernst said.
"Well, let's adjourn the meeting. If your Excellency wants to resume negotiations with us in the future, please contact my subordinates. If I have time, we will discuss this issue here." Roosevelt said decisively.
There is no way, the expectations of the two parties are too different, and there is no way to talk about it. Roosevelt saw no sincerity in the French request. The French also saw full oppression from the conditions of the Americans!
If the conditions put forward by the French can be regarded as high driving and low going in normal negotiations, there are many things that can be discussed. Then Theodore Roosevelt's conditions exposed the ambitions of the Americans!
"It seems that the Americans hate Britain and Japan deeply, and after the war, a large-scale war will inevitably break out with the Japanese. The Americans want to use the power of the Germans to solve Japan once and for all." Back After arriving at the residence where he was staying, Wei Gang said with some sighs.
"It's just a superficial phenomenon." Ernst Money shook his head wearily and said. "The Americans proposed to sever the alliance with the British and isolate Japan is only part of their plan. More importantly, the Americans want to gradually control France through diplomatic and economic means!"
"What? Control the French Republic? What are you thinking? Even the British, they can only form an alliance with the French Republic on the basis of equality!" Wei Gang was taken aback by Ernst Mony's words.
"What are the British? This former empire on which the sun never sets is about to fall. In terms of absolute strength, the United States and Germany are now much stronger than the British. Otherwise, how could they have reached an alliance with us?" En Stemoney sneered. "If Britain hadn't been on an island off the European continent, they would have been pushed out by the Germans long ago."
"As for the Americans wanting to control us? This is not difficult to understand! Think about it, if we cut off our alliance with the British, will France still have reliable allies? The internal situation in Russia is chaotic, and the red tide is very serious. They may control the whole of Russia, they are not our friends. If we cut off relations with the British, who else can France rely on diplomatically? The United States can be the only one! This is political dependence.”
"The same is true of the economy. Listen to what Roosevelt said. The United States allowed the Germans to get reparations. Well, how can France now have money to pay reparations after more than two years of bloody and bloody wars? And if we and The British broke the alliance, and the only ones who can afford to pay us are the Americans! And the money is not free, every dollar is full of curses!"
"The Americans will ask us to exchange colonial properties, resources, and trade privileges, to acquire the overseas assets of the French Republic, and to participate in a large number of our domestic enterprises and projects. Don't forget that the excavation of the Panama Canal was the first It was hosted by us French, but was later cut off by the Americans! Once our economy is heavily dependent on the United States, then our relationship with the United States will be similar to the relationship between Russia and us at the beginning. The only difference is, The United States is too powerful, and we have no possibility of resistance! Because we must rely on the United States politically and economically!" Ernst Money said angrily.
Although the political level of the French cannot be compared with that of the British, as a big country with the same prosperity for hundreds of years, some political accumulation is still very strong. Ernst Money easily saw what the Americans were thinking. Well, maybe when you think you have a big advantage,
Theodore Roosevelt was not at all willing to hide his thoughts. Therefore, in this case, Ernst, as a representative of France, naturally cannot accept the American request!
"However, if you agree to adjourn the meeting in this way, will it have a very serious impact on the French Republic? Maybe Roosevelt is a bit too arrogant. But the general next to him is right, the war has already been won or lost It has been decided, although our military strength is superior, but our equipment level has actually lagged behind the opposite German army, and in this case, we have never defeated the Germans. Now, for us, the future, France The fate of the kingdom no longer depends on our fighters, but on the will and ideas of the Germans."
What Wei Gang said is very simple, that is, if the Germans are determined to overcome all difficulties and prepare to push down France, then it is only a matter of time before France loses, and it is possible to destroy the entire French army and capture Paris! Maybe one battle won't work, but two battles are really about the same....
You must know that at the tactical level, even if the French have an absolute superiority in military strength and firepower, they still suffer from the exchange ratio. Even in the Battle of Verdun in history, the French relied on a solid defensive offensive. After a big fight, the French exchange Bi is also at a disadvantage. Looking at the current situation, Wei Gang conservatively estimates that if the Germans really play a serious game, it is estimated that the exchange ratio between France and Germany can achieve a record of 2.3 to 1, and it may even be even more tragic than this. At this time, don't worry about whether the opponent's campaign goals can be achieved, because the French Army has found it difficult to withstand such blows. Very likely to crash in battle!
"The problem you mentioned is indeed serious, but now, we still have time to do something." A smile appeared on the corner of Ernst's mouth. "At any time, we will not pin our hope of survival on one person or country! Americans are just one of our choices. We still have another way to try."
"Besides, even if we really reach a compromise with the Germans, why do we still follow the orders of the Americans? Why do they order France? Even if we reach a compromise with the Germans, the conditions may be harsher, but we still We can overcome the economic crisis after the war by selling arms in the future US-Japan Pacific War. I believe that the Germans will not care about us.”
"General Wei Gang, remember one sentence, although Germany is now an ally, Americans are very afraid of Germany, and Germany also has its own ideas when facing the United States. Therefore, we can wait until the domestic order comes. , In the next week to two weeks, we do not intend to negotiate with the Americans." Ernst said.
