1568 Americans on the other side of the ocean 3
The Americans have carefully calculated that the losses of the Bavarian Legion have not been great. Judging from Bavaria, as well as the Bohemia and Moravia controlled by the prince, the mobilization rate of the troops is actually not high, so Prince Ruprecht is the most hopeful to continue to repair the Japanese with the Americans.
Of course, another important reason is that Bavaria has had similar things before. Whether it was the Boer War or helping Turkey fight against the Italians in North Africa, they performed well. Therefore, Theodore Roosevelt wanted to try to sign a separate agreement with Bavaria and use the Bavarian Army and the US Army to clean up the Japanese. Of course, money is indispensable. But in this way, it avoids the German central government and makes it easier to deal with some things.
The Americans' abacus was very good. After the war, the various guns, tanks, and other weapons produced in the war must be dealt with after the war. At this time, the Americans can directly receive these "surplus materials" at a low price. In this way, the US government can save a lot of money and at the fastest speed can also form an army that is at least strong on paper.
There is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, the Americans took this path in history. Many troops from the US Army went to France empty-handed, and then took the battlefield with the Shaosha machine guns and 75-speed-fire guns provided by the French. After the end of World War 1, the army's equipment had traces of French for a long time, but this plane was replaced by the Germans.
Americans think a lot this time and want to accomplish a lot. While Theodore Roosevelt and General Benson went to talk to the prince, General Pershing, the number one leader of the US Army, will also discuss related issues with the German Emperor on behalf of the US government.
The result of this talks can even be seen as the cornerstone of the Wilson government's attitude towards Germany. If Ruprecht had a good attitude, then everyone could continue to be friends, but if the attitude was not good, some things would change. After all, Germany was not yet called the world hegemony before World War I, and if it was over, then Germany would definitely embark on the path of a real real power, whether it was strength, area, population or influence. Germany's national strategy would definitely change!
Such important talks will naturally rule Germany first. Needless to say, the German Emperor must be treated with caution. The American national strength and financial resources shocked the German government. Even the German people, who have always been quite confident in the scale of their heavy industry, had to admit that the United States is stronger than Germany in terms of scale, and if it comes to resources, it would be even more 100,000 miles away. In order to express his solemnity, the German Emperor will personally return to Berlin to meet Pershing and his party. Theodore Roosevelt and Benson's private identity visits were much worse on the surface, but the prince must also be treated with caution!
"To a certain extent, I am under greater pressure." Ruprecht said helplessly at the headquarters of the Bavarian Legion of Hagia Sophia. The German Emperor and the Prince naturally had a discussion after some discussion. The prince mentioned the German Emperor very simple, that is, to resolutely implement the agreement signed with the US government before, whether the colony belongs to the colony and the naval forces sent will be carried out according to the previous agreement. The same is true for the repayment of loans and materials after the war. Therefore, as long as the German Emperor does these two points, the basic structure between the government will not change.
But the prince is different. What the Americans want is not only Germany’s previous promise, but Germany cannot give up the entire Far East. There is a game between them. More importantly, the attitudes towards Japan, Germany and the United States are different. The United States must want Japan to die, but starting from Germany’s interests, it is too expensive to completely kill Japan, and intensifying the contradiction between Japan and the United States is the most important. At the same time, how to ensure Germany’s interests in the Far East market is the most important.
Although the prince looked at it, the world might have to fight World War II, but the prince did not want to break up with the Americans so early. After all, after the end of World War 1, Germany had to deal with various domestic affairs. At this time, it was the time when Germany was the least likely to use force. Therefore, for a long time, perhaps five years or even ten years, Germany needed to heal the trauma of war and consolidate and control new territory and colonies. Germany could not deploy a large number of troops in the Far East, so in order to ensure its own interests, it must cooperate with the Americans.
Theodore Roosevelt decided on political matters, but military matters also needed to be finalized. As the most capable general in Germany at present, (both naval and land wars are the case). To be honest, Japan is not easy to fight. Think about the second battle, the Americans became serious and still fought against Japan for three years. At this time, the prince was sure that the United States definitely did not have the awareness of fighting the country, and Germany did not! And Japan would never give in easily. What about Britain and France? It must support Japan. If a group of British and French volunteer troops could appear on the battlefield, the prince would not be surprised. After all, if the war ended according to the prince's script, Britain and France would not have any influential allies in the world...
If we really get to the tactical level, let alone land warfare, it is not easy to fight islands in tropical areas. Even in the environment of 2 wars, the United States has absolute firepower and military strength, and it still pays a lot of price in island warfare. The prince does not want to use the lives of the Germans to benefit the US emperor! As for naval warfare? Although the fleet's strength is crushing, but to be honest, if the Japanese do not fight with you in a decisive battle with you, but use the fast fleet to attack the US logistics supply line, it will really drag the battle to the bladder bureau. Although the German fast warships are very powerful, their endurance is limited. You can aim at the North Sea fleet and put them on the Pacific to fight sports warfare... Very good and powerful!
After communicating with the German Emperor, the German Emperor agreed to let the prince receive Theodore Roosevelt and Benson according to his needs. Finally, he only had to submit a report. Three days before the Americans arrived, the prince finally made all preparations. Whether it was the deployment of the team's battlefield army and the arrangements for the country were handed over to others. Now, he only needed to do one thing, that is, to receive Theodore Roosevelt and General Benson of the US Navy!
