Chapter 2002 Change 4
"What do you mean is that Ruprecht's plan was opposed by the German Emperor? Will the current Bavarian crown prince still take the German Emperor who has no power in his eyes?" Ribo asked back.
"The German Emperor's opinion is only one aspect. If it is just the opposition of the German Emperor, with the ability and character of the Bavarian crown prince, he will not easily change his strategic plan. But if there are other reasons, it is hard to say."
"Other reasons? For example?" Prime Minister Ribo said with a slightly frown.
"I wasn't sure before I came, but after hearing what happened this morning, I already understood the fundamental reason why the British sent this note. That is, the British and the Germans may have reached a tacit understanding." As he said this, Beden's face turned pale.
"How could this happen?" Prime Minister Ribo looked in disbelief.
"Why is this not the case? Even we, France, who have a deep hatred with the Germans, have negotiated with the Germans, so there is no territorial dispute between the British and the Germans. Has the war broke out in the British, why can't they negotiate with the Germans? They have a greater choice! Because, if we lose, the Germans will enter Paris again, and the French colonial empire will collapse, but if they lose, it seems that the problem is not serious! Because, I don't think the Germans have the ability to land on the British and then hold a military parade in Trafalgar Square!" said Betton.
"Think about what happened this morning, the British took back all the German ships that they had previously lent us. Before today, the Germans adjusted their deployment and pointed the attack at us. You can figure it out with your knees! There must be tricks between Britain and Germany! If you don't believe us, take a look at this information, the information I just collected from the French Mediterranean Fleet."
Beden took out a copy of the documents from a pile of documents and handed it to Prime Minister Ribo. "Previously, eight former German merchant ships carrying out missions in the Eastern Mediterranean went to the Port of Valencia in Spain. They then parked there directly. We checked the latest ship schedule and freight list. These ships were not prepared to sail again, nor did they need to transport the goods. So what did these ships do in Spain?" Beden asked back.
"Maybe it's maintenance? Who can tell this matter correctly?" Ribo said.
"Well, I believe that if you ask the British this way, they might come up with similar reasons, or to avoid attacks from German submarines. But let's look at other things, if these ships are handed over to a third party as a good intention to Germany, then all the questions will be natural!"
"Think about it, the Germans cannot completely defeat Britain. Because the British Royal Navy has the strength. If they want to defeat us, they can only rely on the army and the air force. We are obviously the weaker opponent. The German emperor's opinion may be that he tends to kill us and then negotiate with the British. After all, the German emperor wants to call the British king the uncle. Who can clearly explain this blood relationship?"
"Crown Prince Ruprecht may indeed want to kill the British and dominate our contacts. But without a positive response, Ruprecht may have been under pressure from the German emperor or other aspects. At this time, when the two factions in Germany were in stalemate, the British came! They were willing to contact and made some kind suggestions. As we see, the British used the German assets they seized to exchange for the Luftwaffe to stop the bombing of London!"
"While the British released their goodwill and we were indifferent, Crown Prince Ruprecht could not hold on to his opinion, so the German army began to gather at our defense line and then pointed the attack's finger at us!"
"Don't think it's unimaginable to the British peace talks. In fact, anyone who has a little understanding of the current situation knows that there is no need for the war to continue. The meaning of our persistence is nothing more than losing less! In this case, it is not surprising that the British have the idea of harming their neighbors. After all, as the Crown Prince Ruprecht said, the army of allies has gathered in the Western Front, and it is impossible not to fight! Before getting a quote that satisfies Germany, the Germans will not stop, either from the French or from the British!" After Betan finished speaking, Prime Minister Ribo was shocked to an unparalleled level. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as falling into the ice cave.
Alliances are birds of the same life, but they run away from each other when the disaster comes. Sometimes allies take the blame! The French know that they can find Americans to make a bridge to negotiate. Then it is easy for the British to do this! The French have thought of selling the British when necessary and then getting forgiveness from the Germans. Then it is easy for the British to sell the French once at this time! What a normal thing! There is nothing wrong with this operation!
As for the kindness that Crown Prince Ruprecht released at the beginning? It was just a kindness and had no agreement signed, which had nothing to do with political credibility! Especially now that the French are too cold to react, Ruprecht naturally could not accommodate the French! At that time, Ruprecht had already made it clear that he was willing to let the French go. It was just an idea if the French were not up to the forefront, then I would be sorry!
Now, when there are different opinions within Germany and the British extend an olive branch, it is normal for Ruprecht to change his mind. Anyway, whether it is to hit Britain hard or kill French Germans, you can make a fortune! Not to mention anything else, the French have more than 10 million square kilometers of colonies in Africa. What about this? That’s enough! France, as a usury, can also provide enough currency! Now Prime Minister Ribo cannot think of a reason for Ruprecht to let France go under such circumstances!
"Two gentlemen, Your Excellency the President, I hope you will go there quickly." At this moment, the voice of the guards sounded outside the door. At this moment, Beden and Ribo had to calm down and rushed to the Presidential Palace immediately. After all, at this sensitive moment, the President personally summoned the two of them and had to do something at that time!
"I hope the situation is not particularly bad now." Betting prayed in his heart: "Also, Prime Minister Ribo, I hope you can stand on my side this time. We can't hesitate anymore. Although it is very humiliating to accept the Germans' demands, it is better than letting the Germans' war hammer hit us?"
And this time Prime Minister Ribo did not make any statement.
