"Don't worry about ship issues. We can find some ships with other countries to replace them, and even Americans don't need the help of Americans." William II said after pondering for a moment. "I have always been very confused about why you value the relationship between the United States and Germany so much. Although the United States is a very potential country, their military strength is not worthy of praise."

"Is it because of losing to the Japanese Navy? How to say it? This is completely expected. Except for the British, from now on, no fleet of powerful countries can fight against Japan alone in the Far East. In addition to geographical reasons, the strength of the Japanese Navy is also a fact that cannot be ignored. Their performance is far higher than that of the US Navy and better than the Russian Navy."

"The quality of the US Navy is a problem, and the size of the US Army is not large, but don't forget that the American industry and population allow his troops to be replenished continuously, and the expansion speed will be very fast. Because they are basically not limited by resources, it is terrible to be hostile to such a country. If we cannot make the United States our ally in the future, then we at least cannot make the United States our enemy."

"If we look at the current trend, the empire will become more and more isolated in the future. The isolation of the British is only a temporary situation. As the international situation changes, their friends will become more and more!" Prince Ruprecht's eyes were full of worries.

"We have a good relationship with the Russians now, and are allies with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy. The British and France have bad relations with them, and are hostile to Russia, and have not had a good relationship with us. So how can the British get more allies?" William II said in confusion.

"First of all, I need to make it clear that our environment is also bad. The French and we are a feud. The Russians and us can only be said to be average. The most important thing is that we cannot provide a large amount of loans to Russia like France. Under the French's money offensive, our relationship with the Russians is too fragile. If the Russians experience a big setback and need a lot of funds to stabilize finance, we cannot provide it, then Russia will definitely turn to France."

"Even if we try our best to maintain relations with Russia, it is difficult to say that the alliance between Russia and France can be avoided. At most, it will only delay time. I don't need to say more about what the alliance between France and Russia is the result of us, right? There are many contradictions between the British and the French, but they are not irreconcilable. Compared with France, we will have a greater threat to the British."

"On the one hand, it is because we are stronger and pursuing a balance of power in Europe is the consistent strategy of the British. On the other hand, the French have gained enough benefits throughout the world, and Britain and France can achieve a balance through exchange of interests and deal with the new empire together. We cannot provide enough benefits to allow the British to cooperate with us."

"As for our allies? The Austro-Hungarian Empire is our most reliable ally, but the combat effectiveness of this ally is very average, far less than that of France and Russia. As for the Italians? I think a treaty cannot tie them to German chariots. Just look at the history of Italian unification, you will know that they are good at both France and Austro-Hungarian. In essence, they are extreme egoists. If Britain, France and Russia join forces, they are very likely to stand on the side of Britain, France and Russia, because they feel that this side has a greater chance of winning, and the conditions offered by the other side are also better!"

As a time traveler, Prince Ruprecht is quite clear about Italy's style! A typical fence-between and a partner who cannot be relied on, the weakness of the second battle is quite good, and the direct defeat of the alliance in the first battle made the country's credibility zero. In fact, this situation happened before the first Moroccan crisis. During the first Moroccan crisis, Italy chose to support France rather than support Germany with a covenant. You must know that the Treaty of the Three Kingdoms signed in 1882 had the content of defending against France!

"Your statement makes some sense, but I always feel a little alarmist." Although William II verbally gave people a feeling of disapproval, judging from his nervous expression, His Highness the Prince knew that he had been touched, because what the Prince said was not groundless, and the situation was really terrible!

"But there are also conflicts between us and the Americans. The conflict between the two sides on economic and trade issues in South America is very large," said William II.

"Simple economic contradictions can be coordinated. After all, the United States is a very rich country. We can completely balance the trade conflict between the two sides by purchasing American raw materials and minerals. The issue of South America is not impossible to be discussed. The economy can be coordinated. The most important thing is that the United States is also unprecedentedly isolated now. If possible, I hope the conflict between the United States and Britain and Japan can continue."

It is impossible to say that there is no conflict between countries, but some contradictions can be coordinated, such as Britain and France, while some contradictions cannot be coordinated, such as France and Germany. In the prince, in this plane, the hatred between the Americans and Britain and Japan is the biggest favorable news after traveling through time. As long as Germany's foreign policy is not particularly bad, it is still very possible for the United States to be neutral in World War 1. And as long as the United States is neutral? Haha... nothing is not a problem!

"Even if we take a step back, without considering future strategic issues, we still need American funds and manpower to develop colonies. Our colony area has doubled directly! This is an opportunity and a challenge for us! If I guess correctly, the accounts of our African colonies are still in deficit, right?" said the prince.

"African colonies have the potential to develop and are a very good source of raw materials. However, they require funds and manpower, which is an opportunity and a challenge for the empire. If you cannot develop in a short period of time, why not introduce external forces? The funds and some products of the Americans are what we need. Cooperating with them is a good way, because in this world, we can no longer find such a collaborator who is far away from us and is quite complementary to us," said the prince.

"Then how do we ensure that Americans don't take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie in Africa? And how do we ensure that they can follow the agreement?" Prince William seemed to be moved, but he still had a little concern.

"First, we divide this plan into two steps, and secondly, we have what Americans want in our hands!" the prince said confidently.
