The United States has always been a very efficient country, especially when preparing for the people, both diplomatic and military preparations are fast. Roosevelt's proposal was quickly supported by some people in the US government and parliament, and various early contacts have also begun. Major Benson, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, was sent to Munich to contact Ruprecht.

"I know the purpose of your coming here, and I know what you want to say. But unfortunately, it's a bit late now. The two warships, Hime and Izumo, have been handed over to the Japanese, and they will soon return to China with these two warships. I can't do anything."

"As for the other two warships ordered for Brazil, Brazil did not arrange enough personnel to accept these two warships in a short period of time, so they hired the British to drive the two warships to the UK first, and then waited for the Brazilians to accept them. Therefore, the control of these two warships will be directly handed over to the British." The prince said to Benson, who had just sat down and prepared to speak.

"The British helped the Brazilians pick up the ship? That is to say, before the Brazilians arrived, the control of these two warships was in the hands of the British?" Benson said in surprise.

"Control is still in our hands now, but after completion we must hand it over to the British," added His Royal Highness.

"Okay, it doesn't matter. I'm coming to Munich and I'm going to make a deal with His Highness the Prince." Benson said, taking out a check from his bag. "This check can be accepted at any multinational bank, accepted by the US government, and you can write a number you think is OK on it. And we only have one condition, that is, to transfer this warship to the United States when it is appropriate! We will pay the shipbuilding separately."

"The maximum acceptance amount of this check is 200,000 pounds. The US government plans to use 200,000 pounds to buy a right that can be delivered when it is due. What does your government regard this matter as? Do you treat it as an option transaction? These two warships already have buyers. Unless the Brazilian government is willing to give up, if we refuse to deliver or delay delivery at maturity, we will bear huge compensation if we refuse to pay or delay delivery! This amount of money is not enough for compensation! What's more, if you don't buy it at maturity, these two warships will be smashed into our hands. Tell me, if you are me, will you make this transaction?" His Highness the Prince said angrily.

"The Chinese government is already trying to convince the Brazilian government. Through various channels," Benson said with a cold sweat. In fact, he also knew that he could take out very few chips now. Because this matter is not the US government operating, but some people in the US government operating, and many things cannot be put to the forefront!

"You are lying, your government has not come forward at all! Of course, there may be some people communicating through private channels or other unofficial channels, but I absolutely cannot place my £2.4 million business on some private channels, right?"

"And what I can tell you clearly is that the British government requires the Brazilian government to accept these two warships and cannot be transferred to others. I have exact information. Well, on the one hand, there are some people in your country, and on the other hand, the British government. Tell me, who should I believe?" His highness's sharp question left Benson with nothing to say. In fact, the fundamental reason for choosing him to come to Bavaria instead of the US ambassador to Germany is that Benson is "a person in Roosevelt's circle". And the ambassador to Germany is not, so this contact is also unofficial!

"If you can help us this time, then you will gain our friendship. There will definitely be no problems with the financial situation, and the continuous financial support from the United States will greatly promote the development of Bavaria. You know Mr. Roosevelt, who is a very capable and connected person. There are quite a lot of people behind him. It is possible to become the president of the United States in the future. At that time, you will gain friendship from a country." Benson said in a almost pleading tone.

"I have paid for this friendship, but neither Mr. Roosevelt nor others have turned a deaf ear to my warnings. I once sincerely wanted to be a friend with them. But all I gained was contempt and threat! They thought that a powerful country behind them could point fingers at me, and I fought back their arrogant actions with practical actions. When my prophecy was fulfilled, they came to me in panic. Unfortunately, everything was too late!"

"People must be responsible for what they do. If they do something wrong, they have to bear the price! Many things in the world only have one chance. Missing them or choosing them wrong will lead to an irreversible situation! I have no reason to help you now, nor have I offend the most powerful country in the world for a possible friendship. Not only can I not do it, but even Germany will not do this!"

"It takes a price to do anything. I can do something within my ability. These things are clearly marked. The behavior of some of your people makes me unable to see the foundation for building friendship, so everything we do will be business. So good, Mr. Benson, tell me what you want me to do, and then give me a suitable price!" After saying that, the prince leaned on the chair behind him, staring at the person in front of him.

"We need German ports in the Pacific to provide supplies to the US Far East fleet. But your country's prime minister is a very cautious person, or some pro-British. There are not many people in Germany who have the ability to influence Prime Minister Bismarck. You are one of them. I hope you can convince the Prime Minister. If this matter can be successful, this check will still be valid and you will still gain our friendship." Benson said.

"This matter can be considered." The prince thought for a while and said that only when Japan and the United States fight can they lay a nail that is difficult to remove between the United States and Britain! And the harder the fight, the better. Therefore, in order for the Americans to make up their minds to pk the Japanese well, His Highness the Prince must provide Americans with some help within their ability. For example, the base issue is a good entry point. Although His Highness is not optimistic about the Americans' cross-oceanic battle, it is precisely because they are not optimistic that the Americans must fight this battle!

In addition, for some diplomatic matters, His Highness the Prince also needs to be in a relationship with Prime Minister Bismarck and William II. The outbreak of the Spanish-American War is one aspect, but how to make Germany benefit after this change is another important aspect!

"I will go to Berlin in person, hoping that what you said can be fulfilled." His Highness the prince said that Benson could leave.
