2288 Peace proposal 2

As for whether the Americans will raise troubles and cause wars after an agreement is reached? The Japanese are not very concerned about this! Because in the previous conflicts, the Japanese government believed that the Japanese army would never lose to the Americans in the Far East! The previous victory has already established a huge psychological advantage for the Japanese Navy. In the eyes of the Japanese, as long as the Germans do not interfere, then the Americans will be fine if they do whatever they want! Maybe after this battle, the Americans will have to spit out what they have just eaten!

As for why the Japanese believe that the Germans will keep the promise? The reason is very simple. Germany has decided to withdraw from the Far East and no longer seek colonial and military existence in the Far East. As long as Germany does not harm Germany's economic interests in the Far East, there is no need for Germany to fight against Japan! Who will fight without profit? Is it good to kill people? Moreover, the Japanese know that there are many potential conflicts between Germany and the United States. In this case, everything Germany does is just for money and fulfilling its previous promises. If the promise is completed, Germany will naturally not care about other things.

Of course, if the negotiation is really done, then Germany is actually a bit of a loss. The reason is very simple. The Pacific War cannot be fought. So how can Germany obtain a lot of economic support from the Americans? However, Ruprecht is not worried that the Americans will agree, because if the issue about the former German colony is really peacefully resolved, the biggest beneficiary is actually Japan. Germany suffers some losses, and the United States suffers the most! So the Americans will definitely not agree!

Why is the United States at the most disadvantage? What is there to say? The strengthening of the enemy is the weakening of its own side! If Japan did not swallow most of the Dutch East India during the war, then the Americans might still accept this proposal. After all, Japan's power has not expanded, but the problem now is that Japan has eaten up most of the Dutch East India! However, in the end, the United States only brought the original German colonies into its hands, so wouldn't the other areas occupied by Japan belong to Japan?

One Philippines has benefited a lot, but now? The Japanese have obtained at least four Philippines territory! The Japanese have benefited so much, so how could the Americans tolerate Japan's development in this way? The Americans' demand for regaining the original German colony is just an excuse to start a war! The Americans' real purpose is to severely damage Japan! At least they must let Japan spit out all the food they ate from the war! If the situation is better, they will also occupy the Philippines. If the situation is a mess, then it is a good choice to solve Japan like this. How could the Americans be satisfied with just taking back the little colony that Germany had transferred to the United States? What are they thinking?

"Japan is a member of the Allies. They participated in the war and caused huge casualties to the empire. From the perspective of treating the empire, your country should not just forget it. We must punish Japan, just like your country punishes Britain. For such a despicable and shameless country, we should give up all mercy and tolerance and completely destroy it!" Taft took him for 2 minutes before saying this.

"That's another thing. In short, I think my proposal is very good. The German Empire avoided a war, and your country also took back the interests that originally belonged to us. As for the hatred between us and Japan, I think the Japanese will give us a satisfactory answer as long as they are not stupid. After all, as you said before, for Japan, only with swords and guns can they gain their awe! And the swords in our hands are fast enough! For opponents like Japan, we can completely defeat others without fighting!" Ruprecht said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Taft, Mr. Wilson, I think we have been talking for a long time. We are all very busy. Why not do this? Let's do our own business first and then have the opportunity to talk. As for the matter of persuading Japan to give up your colony, we will also arrange it. And as respect for allies, we will not communicate this matter privately with the Japanese. Every time we contact the Japanese representative, there will be an official American person present. I think if Mr. Wilson can participate and facilitate this matter, it will definitely increase your prestige in the United States." Ruprecht left the venue after saying that. He did not give Taft a chance to argue!

"Damn it! He is definitely the most cunning person he has ever seen! We have never taken a slight advantage in fighting him!" Taft said angrily!

"So what should we do now? Mr. President and Parliament certainly don't want to see the negotiations break down," Wilson asked.

"It's not like breaking up. In fact, both the crown prince and the parliamentarians understand a truth very well. At this time, cooperation between the United States and Germany is still necessary to continue. We do not want to completely relinquish the previous agreement, but just want to take the initiative again and test the Germans' reaction."

"In our vision, the Germans will not easily let go of Japan, which caused trouble for themselves in the war. After all, for Germany, which had just defeated Britain, France and Russia, and had a strong military power, taking this opportunity to hit the Japanese is very consistent with the thinking of the Germans. Because the Germans are very proud of their face and like to use military means to solve problems, but now it seems that they are ready to take the diplomatic route." Taft said.

"I feel that Crown Prince Ruprecht took it for granted. The Japanese never handed over the money in their pockets to others for nothing. The Germans wanted to use the remaining threats of victory to force the Japanese. You must know that the weak Japanese dared to go to war with Russia, which was called European road rollers!" Wilson said.

"Haha, you don't understand military affairs. The fundamental reason why the Russians dared to go to war with Russia was two points. The first point was the support of the British. Although Britain did not participate in the war, the British's diplomatic and economic support could save Japan from suffering excessive losses even if it was defeated. Because even if Russia won after a great war, it could not withstand the pressure of the British, so it had to make concessions. This is the terrible thing about the British. They could achieve their goals without taking action and standing behind them!"

"The second point is that Russia is too far from the far east, and the fragile Siberian Railway is not enough to realize the strategic ambitions of the Russians. For Japan, this war was a full-scale war, but for Russia it was just a local war, and the unrest in Russia made Russia unable to exert its full strength. Of course, from the subsequent events, the Russians' combat effectiveness was overestimated. In fact, the Germans could defeat Russia with one hand!" Taft explained.
