"No matter whether you think I am unreasonable or not, this is our answer. If you discuss this question next time, then you don't have to speak up. Because we believe that the colonies in the Far East are more important to your country! Do you have any questions?" The prince was already very impatient when he said this.

"Are you representing the country or yourself?" Rut asked.

"As long as it is this matter, whether it is in Germany or in the United States, you have only one opponent. Of course, you can tell the German Emperor my paranoia, but I don't plan to change it." The prince replied.

"The conditions can be discussed. But first we have to convince Congress that you and the German Emperor can decide everything, but the United States is not decided by the president and me. So I hope you can understand." Rut decided to ease the topic first.

"In addition, I think the German Empire should send a higher-level delegation to the United States so that the two great countries can understand each other. On the one hand, this is a requirement of public opinion. On the other hand, we need you to coordinate the relationship between Germany and the major forces in our country's internal parliament. Due to economic and trade issues, some people in China do not want to see the United States and Germany approaching."

The half-true thing about this passage is that there are indeed pro-British factions within the United States, and on the other hand, the US government hopes to negotiate in the United States, so Rut decided to issue an invitation first.

"I have no objection. And I personally respect General Pershing, who participated in the Boer War in South Africa, and I hope to visit his hometown in Missouri." The prince thought for a while and said.

Unlike Germany's politics determines the economy, the American economy determines politics. God knows how much it is related to Wall Street's concern that Britain and France cannot recover their dollar loans after the defeat of the war.

The prince is not afraid of Wilson or Roosevelt's rebellion, because they all had the handle in the prince's hands back then. They indirectly helped the Japanese defeat the American fleet. No one could escape such a big thing. But the US president could not decide everything! So **** decided to go to the United States and the United States' parliaments, political parties and capitalists to coordinate.

"You will become the most honorable guest of the United States of America, respected Bavaria ****." Rut said respectfully. Although the first contact between the two sides was not very harmonious, it was enough to negotiate the matter of the prince going to the United States.

After the meeting, the prince went to report to the German Emperor. It would be impossible for such a thing to do if nothing unexpected happens. After looking at the negotiation records quickly, the German Emperor decided to listen to the prince's opinions on the bottom line of the negotiation.

"Obviously, the Americans are very ambitious and they want to take down all our colonies in the Pacific. However, the price offered is too low. It may take some effort to reach an agreement." The prince said.

"Our colonies in the Pacific cannot be given to the Americans, but they must be given after the war is over. This is the biggest bargaining factor in checking and balancing the American attitude. Once we hand them over, then if the Americans turn against each other, we will have no guarantee at all." The prince is quite clear about the Americans' strength, so everything he does now is to ensure that the United States does not participate in the war directly.

"To be honest, I don't believe this statement. Once a war begins, the Japanese will surely quickly eat our colonies in the Far East. Do we still have to deal with the Japanese with the Americans in order to fulfill the agreement?" The German Emperor said with some amusement.

"Sometimes an attitude works very well. If it were simply the United States or Germany who wanted to get the colony back after the war, it would be difficult. If the two countries were willing to join forces, Japan would inevitably surrender! The Americans have money, and by then, the United States and Germany fleets may have surpassed the British fleet. We still have legal principles. Do the Japanese dare to bet on their own destiny?"

"And if we defeated or tied in the first battle, Britain and France would definitely not have conflicts with us again for Japan. Well, who else can the Japanese rely on? Fight against the powerful U.S. and Germany fleet in a small place? What do you think? Although this is just a possibility, Japan dare not bet, because once it loses, it will be doomed. And if we do this, the Americans may be willing to pay for the trouble once and for all." The prince said.

This is a probability problem. To use a figurative metaphor, it is Russian wheel gambling. Only one of the six bullet nests has bullets, but it is not absolutely necessary that most people dare not try it? Even if they only try it once! Because if they lose, the price is life. Life is only once for everyone! Similarly, a rational government must learn to avoid such seemingly dangerous things.

"In fact, on the other hand, it is not particularly difficult for us to let Japan spit out the occupied colonies. Don't forget that Japan is an island country and needs to import a large amount of materials to Europe and export corresponding things. We can completely attack the Japanese transport ships in the Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean. Even if we can only deal with part of them, the Japanese's economy will definitely not be able to bear it. They can only surrender. Sometimes wars are not only successful by relying on military means to kill the other side." The prince said.

"That is, if we win, there is a complete hope of taking back our colonies in the Far East? How sure are you?" asked the German Emperor.

"70%." The prince thought for a while and said. Anyway, the Japanese Navy would never go to the Middle East or the Atlantic to find trouble for German ships. The Far East business would definitely be gone during the war, and it would be gone. After the war, the internal demand of Germany was enough to recover the economy, and the status of foreign trade had declined a lot. Therefore, Germany was not afraid of the Japanese using the same means to counterattack.

"So that's the case, I don't want to sell the Southeast Asian colonies to the United States." The German Emperor thought for a while and said with a smile.

"We should still sell. We only have economic benefits in the Far East. No one will make things difficult for us by doing business alone. On the contrary, we will be the targets of wining over by countries, because cooperation with us will not lead to changes in territory. We should also focus on Europe and Africa." The prince said.

"But I always feel like I'm losing a little." The German Emperor said with a little dissatisfaction.

"How about exchange for the Far East colonies back to Belgium in Africa's Congo?" the prince thought for a while and said.

"This is impossible. We cannot beat the Allies in Africa." The German Emperor said without thinking.

"But we can easily occupy the Belgian land. The British and French will not allow us to occupy this important barrier of Belgium. But Congo may give up. In fact, without the support of the Americans, we are not afraid of fighting with Britain and France forever, especially if we are well prepared." Ruprecht said.
