Chapter 2005 Talks

It is hard for Belfort to describe his feelings when he first met the Bavarian crown prince and the heir to the throne of James in Britain. The other party was calm and beyond his imagination. He could not see any information or arrogance in the other party's eyes. Perhaps the other party controlled it well and did not show it at all.

At the same time, in his eyes, Ruprecht did not show the attitude of a hunter towards prey. The other party just sat opposite him very calmly, with his eyes empty and unwavering, as if he had entered a meditation. Under the calm appearance, there was a terrible power hidden. The so-called shadow of the famous tree of man, even if the other party showed peace, as a person who destroyed Russia and as a person who led the fleet to severely damage the British Empire's fleet, Belfort would never dare to underestimate the other party's power and means!

Crown Prince Ruprecht has surpassed the fierce momentum that has been unintentionally exuded on the battlefield for a long time. At this time, the crown prince has become a little bit back to nature and is a soldier without fighting. He can face any situation calmly, and no one is willing to face the conflict with him! Therefore, when Belfort faced Prince Albert, he could still provoke him. But when facing this Crown Prince Ruprecht, he dared not have any similar ideas!

This time the delegation was a little too many. In addition to Crown Prince Ruprecht, Prince Albert, Earl Kariput and Moltke all participated. The four people represented Bavarian and Prussian military and political circles respectively. There were three people on the British side, because the British really couldn't find the fourth equal person. The identity is not omnipotent, but sometimes the identity is the admission ticket.

"Although the previous negotiations were a bit tortuous, we finally reached an agreement and both sides were faithfully fulfilling their obligations. This was a very good start. I think we have taken another very important step on the road to ending the war." Belfort said very formulaicly.

"Here, on behalf of the British Empire, I formally propose a package of solutions to the war. The two sides should currently achieve a ceasefire to ensure the stability of the current actual control area. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, our government believes that the territory of Western European countries before the war should remain the same. Territorial disputes such as Africa and Asia should be negotiated based on the principle of friendship. Believe me, His Royal Highness, too much territory cannot make your country safer. Germany won the Franco-Prussian War, but this victory also laid the hidden dangers of war decades later. Sometimes tolerance can better reflect a person's wisdom than a saber." Belfort said.

"However, this tolerance has never been reflected in the British Empire." Ruprecht said. "As one of the initiators of this war and Germany's biggest enemy, I always believe that the British Empire should pay the price for what they did! I need to remind you that we are now discussing issues between Germany and Britain. We will talk to the French and the Belgians. Here, there is no need for the British to interfere! What's more, you cannot represent other countries."

"Your attitude is unfriendly," said Belfort.

"We have been fighting on the battlefield for more than two years, how can we be friendly? Well, I think Prince Albert and Earl Kariput have reminded you before that negotiations depend on the situation. The situation in your country is very unfavorable. In this case, you should learn to recognize the situation. I have no interest in the conditions proposed by your country. I think you do not have the ability to agree or object to the conditions I have walked out. Well, let's not discuss the conditions this time, imagine what the future will be in the future?" After saying that, Ruprecht changed to a more relaxed posture and sat on the chair.

"As early as 20 years ago, I thought that one day the empire would encounter British people on the battlefield. Although the old emperor was still there at that time and his queen was still a British princess, I know that sooner or later there will be one day. The reason is very simple. The German Empire is getting stronger and the power of Europe is in an unbalanced state. When Russia and France cannot balance Germany and Austria, the war will break out! And according to the means of your country for hundreds of years, you must act as a messenger and pull the weak side to hit the strong side."

"So from that time on, I have been analyzing your country and trying to find out your weaknesses. It has to be said that the British Empire can transform from the British Isles into an empire that never sets. In addition to the Royal Navy's strong ships, sharp guns and brave and fearless sword nobles, the British Empire really relies on flexible foreign policy and isolationism beyond the disputes on the European continent. You will only intervene in European things when the European continent is unbalanced, and never lacks allies. I admire this method and vision."

"You know the weaknesses of the British Empire. Your core population is not large, so you cannot maintain a strong army while bearing the world's first navy. Therefore, when facing the enemy, you are more likely to kill people with a knife, such as the Russians who used Napoleon, and later the Battle of Leipzig. When dealing with the Russians, you use the French (Crimean War) and the Japanese." The prince said happily.

"I take your words as praise." Belfort said expressionlessly.

"So, after analyzing the means of the British Empire to dominate the world, I began to consider how to defeat the empire. I won't say much about the political layout and military preparations before the war, because it was a waste of time and you may not understand it. I said, at this point, what would we do if we decide to kill Britain!" Ruprecht said.

"You overestimate yourself. IMHO, you and your army will never be able to set foot on the British Isles!" Belford said loudly.

"I understand your government's idea. Even if the British Expeditionary Force in France is severely damaged, you can still rely on the large fleet to ensure the safety of the local area. This is your last fuse and the strongest barrier. So you are not afraid."

"It is the ocean and maritime power that has made the hegemony of the British Empire. Therefore, if we want to completely destroy your system, we must also start from the ocean. Your country must be convinced that even if France is defeated, Britain can rely on the fleet and the strait to drag it down until we can't bear it. Just like when Emperor Napoleon was at its peak, even though he controlled the entire Europe, Britain controlled the entire world. The powerful French Empire was besieged on the European island? Is that true?"
