1918 1
"I'm sure, these three conditions are very difficult for us to accept. The first condition makes us betray allies who fight, and the second condition makes France lose the war." Ernst said.&1t;/p>
"Okay, let's go. If you want to resume negotiations with us one day in the future, please contact my subordinates. If I have time, we will talk about this issue here." Roosevelt said very decisively.&1t;/p>
There is no way, the expectations of both sides are too different, so there is no way to talk about them. Roosevelt could not see any sincerity from the French's request. The French also saw a lot of oppression from the American's conditions!&1t;/p>
If the conditions proposed by the French are considered high and low in normal negotiations, there are many things that can be discussed. Then the conditions proposed by Theodore Roosevelt expose the ambitions of the Americans!&1t;/p>
"It seems that the Americans hate Britain and Japan to the core, and after the war, a large-scale war will inevitably break out between them. The Americans want to use the power of the Germans to solve Japan once and for all." After returning to their residence, Wei Gang said with a sigh.&1t;/p>
"This is just a superficial phenomenon." Ernst Moni shook his head tiredly and said. "The Americans proposed to sever the alliance with the British, and isolating Japan is only part of their plan. More importantly, the Americans want to gradually control France through diplomatic and economic means!"&1t;/p>
"What? Control the French Republic? What do you think? Even the British, they can only form an alliance with the French Republic on an equal basis!" Weigang was startled by Ernst Moni's words.&1t;/p>
"What are the British? This empire that once did not set sun is about to set. If we talk about absolute strength, the United States and Germany are much stronger than the British. If it weren't for this, how could they reach an alliance with us?" Ernst Moni sneered. "If Britain were not on an island outside the Big Six in Europe, they would have been pushed away by the Germans long ago."&1t;/p>
"As for the Americans want to control us? This is not difficult to understand! Think about it, if we cut off alliances with the British, then will France still have reliable allies? The situation in Russia is in chaos, and the Red Frenzy is likely to control the entire Russia. They are not our friends. If we cut off relations with the British, then who else can France rely on diplomatically? It can be the United States! This is political dependence."&1t;/p>
"The same is true in terms of economy. Listen to what Roosevelt said, the United States allows the Germans to receive compensation. So good, France now has no money to pay compensation after more than two years of tragic bloody battle? And if we cut off alliances with the British, the only one who has the ability to provide us with funds is the Americans! And this money is not for nothing, every dollar is full of curses!"&1t;/p>
"Americans will ask us to exchange the properties, resources and trade privileges of the colonies, acquire the assets of the French Republic overseas, and participate in a large number of domestic enterprises and projects. Don't forget that at the beginning, the excavation of the Panama Canal was originally hosted by us by the French, but later it was intercepted by the Americans! And once we rely heavily on the United States economically, our relationship with the United States will be similar to the relationship between Russia and us. The only difference is that the United States is too strong and we have no possibility of resistance! Because we must rely on the United States politically and economically!" Ernst Moni said angrily.&1t;/p>
Although the French's political level cannot be compared with the British, as a great country that has been so popular for hundreds of years, some political accumulation is still very good. Ernst Moni easily saw the Americans' ideas. Well, maybe when he thinks he has a great advantage, Theodore Roosevelt was unwilling to hide his ideas at all. So, in this case, Ernst, as the representative of France, naturally cannot accept the Americans' request!&1t;/p>
"But if you agree to the recess, will it have a serious impact on the French Republic? Maybe Roosevelt was a little too arrogant. But the general next to him was right. The outcome of this war has been decided. Although we have the advantage of our troops, our equipment level has actually lagged behind the German army on the opposite side. In this case, we have never beaten the Germans. Now, for us, in the future, the fate of the French Kingdom no longer depends on our soldiers, but on the will and ideas of the Germans."&1t;/p>
Wei Gang said very simple, that is, if the Germans were determined to overcome all difficulties and be prepared to turn away France, then France was defeated only a matter of time. It is possible to destroy the entire French army and capture Paris! Maybe one battle would not work, but two battles would be almost the same...&1t;/p>
You should know that at the tactical level, even if the French have absolute advantage in military strength and firepower, they still suffer in exchange ratios. Even in the Battle of Verdun in history, the French relied on a strong defensive offensive and fought a big fight. Looking at the current situation, Wei Gang conservatively estimated that if the Germans really fought a battle, it would be possible that the exchange ratio between France and Germany could achieve a record of 2.3 to 1, which is even more miserable than this. At this time, don’t worry about whether the opponent’s purpose of the battle can be achieved, because the French 6th Army is already difficult to withstand such a blow. It is very likely to collapse in the battle!&1t;/p>
"The problem you mentioned is indeed very serious, but now we still have time to do something." Ernst's mouth smiled. "At any time, we will not pin our hope of survival on one person or country! Americans are just one of our choices. We have another way to try."&1t;/p>
"Besides, even if we really reach a compromise with the Germans, why do we still have to follow the orders of the Americans? Why do they order France? Even if we reach a compromise with the Germans, the conditions may be more harsh, but we can still survive the economic crisis after the war by selling arms in the future US-Japan Pacific War. I believe that the Germans will not care about us."&1t;/p>
"General Wei Gang, remember one thing, although the United States and Germany are allies now, the Americans are very afraid of Germany, and Germany also has its own ideas when facing the United States. Therefore, before the domestic order comes, we can wait a moment. We do not plan to negotiate with the Americans in the next week to two weeks." Ernst said.&1t;/p>
