And to be honest, Roosevelt was still very afraid of the German Empire. Although the total industrial output value of the United States was the best in the world in this era, it was not the same concept compared to later generations. Precision machinery and various high-tech things were not very easy to play with, which was far inferior to the double crowns of the American Empire's production capacity technology in the war 2nd!

This can be seen from the perspective of mechanical exports. Although the United States' industry accounted for more than half of the world's world before World War I, its export volume was not as good as Germany. In 1913, Germany's total export of machinery products reached 738.4 million marks, accounting for 29.1% of the world's mechanical product exports. The United States had 680.6 million marks, which was about 26.8% of the world's mechanical product exports. Germany's advantage in the chemical industry was even more huge. Don't forget that Germany almost monopolized all the world's synthetic dye markets at that time! Although Germany and Russia were hostile countries, before the outbreak of World War I, even chemical products such as benzene chemical products were imported from Germany.

Therefore, American industry is mainly reflected in quantity. The United States is so large and has so many resources. Just relying on mining and steel industry can build the scale of the United States to a very terrifying level. If you simply look at the fineness of the technology, the United States is still not very good at this time.

Therefore, Roosevelt could not fight harder and let the United States reap the benefits. In fact, many powerful Americans also hold similar views, saying the friendship between countries? Those who believe in this statement will generally die miserably. At least Ruprecht doesn't believe it.

"This is to gamble with the core interests of the United States of America. The war between the Allies and the Allies is an internal affairs of Europe. The United States does not need to participate so deeply. This is not in our interest. Even if I agree, the parliament will not agree. No one will deliver one-third or more of its gold to other countries as ordinary currency." Roosevelt said.

"The most important thing is that the risks, if the United States transfers a large amount of gold reserves, will have a great impact on domestic financial stability. This is not beneficial to your country, but it is very dangerous for us. Isn't it?" Secretary of State Root said.

"Of course it is good for us. Just imagine, if one day we go to war with the Allies, if we buy things from your country, will you accept Marks? By the same token, will you receive pounds or francs?" Ruprecht asked back.

"No, absolutely not! Because the currencies of countries in war are worthless, their fluctuations are too large, and they generally depreciate. Therefore, in order to ensure your interests, you will only need precious metals such as gold and silver or assets to mortgage them!" Before Rut could say anything, the prince gave the answer.

"But we can collect US dollars. The loans we give to your country are also US dollars loans!" said Rut.

"But we cannot only import things from the United States. Real money and silver are always the best. And to say an inappropriate thing, after your country obtains a large amount of gold reserves from Britain and France, the US dollar can also be printed more, right? During the war, your country can obtain a large amount of gold through trade, and your country also has a large amount of gold among its people. As long as it is not a domestic problem, no country has the ability to shake the US financial market during the war. Countries with strength are participating in the war, and countries that have not participated in the war have no strength. "The prince did not make any concessions at all.

"Our negotiations seem to have reached a deadlock. Your country is trying to kidnap the United States, which we cannot accept." Roosevelt said calmly.

"The German Empire cannot exchange the promises of your country that you do not support the Allied Power. Since that's the case, there is no need to discuss it. We solve the money problem ourselves. I think the various assets of the German Empire overseas can already allow us to obtain enough loans. My purpose for coming to the United States is very clear. We will ask consortiums to borrow money. The fundamental purpose of my sitting here to talk about these is politics! But unfortunately, I cannot get what we need." Roosevelt threatened by interrupting negotiations, and Ruprecht didn't mind. It was still a long time, and as he said, Germany never intended to hang itself on the tree of the US government!

Just as the negotiations between Ruprecht and Roosevelt were at a deadlock, the negotiations between Count Laura and major American industrial giants were in full swing. Compared with the carefully savvy political negotiations, economic cooperation was obviously much more relaxed. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, the two sides had a good cooperative relationship, and on the other hand, the conditions offered by Germany during the war also made these large consortiums unable to refuse!

Moreover, in the United States, not only politicians and lobby groups can influence politics, but also large consortiums and money can also influence political decision-making. Sometimes, those who run for president don’t care where the money comes from, whether it is domestic or foreign. They only know that getting money requires doing things!

"We have no doubts about your country's payment and solvency in peacetime. After all, your country has very obvious advantages in terms of mechanical and optical, electrical products or chemical raw materials. Even if we implement barter trade between our consortium and your country, the key is the method of repayment in wartime! Although I don't understand military, I have also learned geography, and I also know the strength of the Royal Navy. During wartime, Britain will definitely impose a comprehensive blockade on Germany. Even if we can ignore transportation issues, we also need to consider your country's payment methods." J.p Morgan said.

"We have fixed assets around the world, and our payments are divided into two types. One is the purchase of goods at the price, and the other is the friendly payment. The total amount of this payment is no less than 1 billion marks! And we only have one requirement, which is to ensure the friendly relationship between the United States and the German Empire." Count Laura said with a smile.

"Are you joking about the various assets of 1 billion marks? Are you?" Rockefeller on the side was also a little surprised. 1 billion mark is about 50 million pounds, and it is not 125 million for US dollars! The key is that this is for free! Free! Free! Because it is important, I said it three times! The condition is just to let the United States stand on the side of Germany! To be honest, this requirement is really nothing to the digital consortium bosses here! But it can get additional compensation!

And more importantly, with the gift of these assets, they can take over the market left by the German forces after they withdrew! This is more valuable than simple money! The large amount is one aspect, but at the same time, they are divided into various large consortiums. There is competition among these consortiums. If you take more, others will get less, your own strength will be stronger, and the future game will also have a certain advantage. Although it seems that it has not been implemented yet, judging from the previous cooperative relationship, this matter is still very stable.
