"Since that is the case, the Germans are very close to their success, what's the point of my negotiations in Brussels? According to the German plan, as long as the French surrender, the British Expeditionary Force will be finished. The British will inevitably accept the humiliating failure." Taft said.

"And the Navy." Roosevelt wrote two English letters with his finger on the huge oak table, r, n!

"What does it mean?" Taft asked.

"The situation of the Royal Navy dominating the world must end! The only thing that can do this is the High Seas Fleet! If killing the British Expeditionary Force can make the British agree to the Germans' conditions, then severe damage to the Royal Navy is the key to ensuring that we have an advantage in the future Pacific War." Roosevelt said firmly.

"You mean, the British would send fleets to help the Japanese? They just experienced a very destructive war, and it was impossible for the British to fight for the Japanese!" said Taft.

"We are worried about selling their warships, aircraft, torpedoes and communication equipment. It is almost inevitable to do so, because Japan is an ally of the British after all. After the war, Britain urgently needs to exchange these extra supplies for hard currency."

"And you have to remember that the Germans will never interfere in this matter. Even at sea, the Germans may encounter these British warships with Japanese flags, but they will not interfere! At least they will not take strong measures! You should be very clear about the reason! If the Germans have the ability to do it, then the United States has no ability to stop it when they go to war with Japan!" Roosevelt surprised Taft!

"Damn, this world is so crazy!" Taft complained wildly in his heart. Although it is difficult to accept, it is easy to understand. Although Germany is an ally, who is not wary of its opponents? In order to win over France, the Americans are willing to be intermediaries and even put pressure on the Germans. Americans do not want to see the Germans dominate the entire Europe. And the Germans are the same. Roosevelt was sure that Ruprecht would let the United States obtain the original German Pacific island. But the Germans are also sure to let the Americans and the Japanese fight through the vast Pacific Ocean! Therefore, the Germans would definitely turn a blind eye to the issue that the British might sell a large amount of weapons and equipment!

The two strong men each have their own ideas, but they can still maintain similar views on major issues and maintain their cooperative relationship until now. To be honest, it is really not easy! Since this is the case, if the Americans want to exclude the influence of the British as much as possible, the best way is to use a knife to kill people and use the German high seas fleet to severely damage the British's large fleet!

"Since the Germans are making this idea, it may be difficult for them to use the High Seas Fleet to attack the Great Fleet. Moreover, based on the interests of the United States, if the High Seas Fleet suffers heavy losses, it is not good news for us. We need the support of the German Fleet." Taft said.

"Even though the German fleet suffered heavy losses, after the war, the Germans had a battleship team and two aircraft carriers. The German fleet was too large, and he did not need to ensure his naval power worldwide like the British. Therefore, the Germans' dependence on the navy was very low at this stage." Roosevelt paused and continued: "There needs professionals to explain this to you. I will arrange for the Deputy Chief of the Admiral Benson to accompany you to negotiate with the Germans. He will tell you our limits and needs."

Speaking of this, Roosevelt was really tired because in the current United States, there was no one who was strong in both military and political terms. In this negotiation with Crown Prince Ruprecht, the military and political issues were inseparable. Although he could match Taft with a naval and army staff team including the black old man Pershing and General Benson, there were deviations in politicians and soldiers in terms of communication or cognition. So, Roosevelt was really unsure of what the outcome would be.

"In addition, you need to pay attention to one thing. If the prince swears that something will happen, then you'd better concentrate on studying this issue. Even if you think it's very absurd, you must not ignore it." After hesitating for a moment, Roosevelt said.

"I don't understand what you mean. Your statement seems to be irrational. This is not what the President of the United States should say. Let us believe the words of a German crown prince? It's a bit ridiculous." Taft said.

"Sometimes, some things seem metaphysical, but the facts of the world prove that you are not good enough. I have been dealing with the crown prince for nearly 20 years. Sometimes we don't get along well, and we also fight openly and secretly for the interests of our respective countries. However, what makes people feel strange is that in conversation with him, the crown prince will definitely hide some things, but what he said to me finally came true! One thing, two things are nothing. But in 20 years, we have never taken the initiative to deceive, which is simply unimaginable for a politician." Roosevelt said.

"There is such a superb person no longer called a human being, you can call him God." Taft said expressionlessly.

"However, whether it is God or demon, we have to face it. Many people and I have neglected the prince's advice and have caused very serious consequences, which are very serious. It can be said that this consequence has been deeply affected by the political economy and diplomacy of the United States. We are still kidnapped by this consequence. Now at least one-third of the top politicians in the United States have a handle in the hands of the crown prince. A very serious handle can make half of these people take the handle of the gallows. Because of this mistake, the United States has lost more than five figures of personnel and more than ten years of hard work." Roosevelt said in a heavy mood.

"Are you talking about the Battle of the Philippines?" After hearing Roosevelt's last words, Taft suddenly woke up. More than ten years ago, Taft felt that there were too many questions behind the Battle of the Philippines, no matter how the Japanese Navy obtained so many battleships, the lack of response from the US Navy before, and the collective cleaning of the navy after the war. These things seemed to be from the Stories from a Chinese Studio, but now it seems that there is a hidden story. Roosevelt's words clearly mentioned that this matter has something to do with the Germans, but he dare not explain it too clearly. That means that this matter is too complicated and too dangerous.
