1571 Talks 3

"Damn!" Now Theodore Roosevelt seemed to have ten thousand grass-rooted horses running wildly. If he was proficient in Chinese culture, he would probably have to use one sentence to describe Ruprecht at this time. This is definitely a clan standing on the wall without desires! I am a typical example and I will never work hard if I can't get the benefits!

Roosevelt was not worried about the original German colony at all. The Germans would definitely not hesitate on this issue. The army and the navy must go together. And Roosevelt was sure that Japan would not make too much resistance in the original German Pacific colony because it was meaningless. The United States and Germany were determined to win. If Japan dared to fight to the death, it would be an egg to hit a stone.

To a large extent, national strategy is to guess the other party's ideas. Japan is likely to guess Germany's ideas, that is, it is just to complete the agreement with the United States. If Germany really has this attitude, then the United States will definitely not win in this game. If Roosevelt was worried that Germany would intervene in the Far East again, but now? In just a few minutes, he has begun to consider how to let Germany intervene in the Far East......

"We can bear the military expenditure of your country's navy and army, and even provide interest-free or even low-interest loans for Germany's post-war economic recovery." Roosevelt thought for a while and said.

"Haha." Ruprecht smiled and did not answer. Because Roosevelt offered the conditions really not very good. He really thought Germany was the same as Japan. He deployed hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops thousands of miles away for some small money? It was not worth it at all. After the battle, it was inevitable that the troops would be laid off in large quantities. Controlling the new colonies required a large number of people. Germany would never continue a war for a little money.

"Your country cannot give up its economic interests in the Far East. In the Far East, the Japanese backed by military power, and your country's economic interests cannot be guaranteed!" Theodore Roosevelt said, and General Benson, who was standing by, became the background. He came here to discuss with the prince the strategic and tactics of the US Navy after the war with Japan in the future, but from the current situation, the Germans seemed to have no idea of ​​fighting in the Far East...

"Haha." Ruprecht continued to laugh without saying anything, and some words could not be said. Theodore Roosevelt said something makes sense. Now Japanese economic power has almost penetrated the northern part of the mainland, especially in the northeast. It is indeed a bit troublesome if German companies want to do business in the northeast. However, this does not hinder the trade between Germany and Japan...

Overall, Japan is still a country that mainly exports industrial products and raw materials in the early stages. Although they can build super battleships like Fusang, they are still far behind in terms of overall industrial level! Not to mention the fact that only comes from chemicals, engines, and electrical products, Japan has not been able to catch up with German shoes on this plane for 30 years! Before the war, there was not a lot of private trade between Germany and Japan, and Siemens could also make electrical equipment on Japanese warships explain this problem.

If we say that the representative of the highest technology of industrial products in this era is Britain and Germany! In some fields, such as synthetic dyes, the British could only accept a disadvantage, and Germany is in a monopoly position! So, no matter what, the Japanese government must do business with Germany! This is a matter of no way. As for whether it can be done with the British, it is certainly possible. But as Japan gradually becomes bigger and stronger in the Far East, the British may not be willing to give some things for their own interests! But Germany is not afraid because Germany and Japan are too far away.

As a businessman in the Far East, how can Germany make the most money? The best way is naturally to use the American power to suppress Japan, gain market and origin, and to continue to do business with Japan. (This is what is called eating the plaintiff and eating the defendant?!) Germany has its own interest in the Far East, but now, until the Americans offer a high enough price, the prince will not make any statement on military issues.

"I have always believed in one sentence, that is, as a politician, there is no problem that cannot be solved through exchange of interests. We want to drive Japan out of the original Dutch East India. You can offer a price!" Theodore Roosevelt said after taking a deep breath.

"Why me? You should talk to the German Emperor about this question." The prince did not refuse directly, but raised his head and said to Roosevelt.

"Talking with you is talking to the German Emperor. And according to the situation in Germany, there are some things that the German government is not convenient for doing, but it does not mean that Bavaria cannot do, such as the Boer War and the war with Italy in North Africa." Roosevelt said.

"If possible, I hope that after the war, trade between the United States and Germany can be settled using both US dollars and Mark!" The prince made his first request!

"This is impossible. Mark's credibility is very low now! Even pounds and francs are not possible!" Roosevelt said flatly.

That's right, Germany's appeal in interests cannot be paid by giving some money like Japan. Germany wants to gradually gain the world's financial rights! Although this plane gold standard system has not been abolished and the issuance of banknotes cannot be issued casually, in fact, countries in the world that have financial advantages can already make a lot of profits from it. For example, Britain and France. Needless to say, the British pound is basically the same as the US dollar in later generations. The same is true for the francs! France is the world's largest creditor country, and the power of the francs is not just to trap the Russian government! As long as the French loans can be released, those who accept the loan must use francs as one of the settlement methods!

The US dollar and Mark were only circulated in a small range before World War I. Of course, with the outbreak of World War I, the Americans acquired various excellent assets from various participating countries and forcibly improving the status of the US dollar through trade. Now the US dollar has become a vague prototype of the world currency. After a large amount of precious metals flowed into the United States, the US government could issue a large amount of banknotes with this, but what about Mark? Well, it is even more tragic. This is quite unfavorable to Germany's post-war trade status. Therefore, what the prince wants is the authority of monetary and financial, not just the so-called US dollar loans!

Of course, Mark does not have this ability now. The fundamental purpose of the prince's request for this is to quickly stabilize the value of Mark's currency in a short period of time after the war through binding with the US dollar. Then, trades using Mark as settlement means are launched in South America. Of course, this is suspected of poaching the American corner, so it will not be done for the time being. The reason for Americans to refuse is also sufficient, because this issue involves more than just some US dollar loans!
