Chapter 1915 Attitudes of Countries
I have to say that the prince's goal is right, and the method is also very good, taking into account the interests, enemies and allies. More importantly, the prince is a person who really does things for the country. You must know that as the commander of the group army There are actually not many opportunities to go to the front line in person, but what about Ruprecht? As the admiral and supreme commander of the navy, he will definitely play when he finally faces the British fleet, and will be bombarded with millions of tons of steel at a distance of less than 20 kilometers! Every minute, the two sides tilt hundreds of tons of shells! Who dares to say it's safe?
When he reached his position, he could obviously win. No matter what, the prince would eventually become the king of a powerful kingdom. At this time, how many people are willing to work hard? In the end, for the benefit of the empire, he was still willing to risk himself, and this alone was enough to make everyone here admire him. Therefore, although Crook is a Prussian, although Ruprecht prevented him from intervening in politics, but now, Crook is willing to obey all the orders of the prince!
Now that Crook has expressed his opinion, other people quickly expressed their agreement with Ruprecht's plan. The matter is obvious. The prince has made the strategic plan very clear. Since the others can't find any loopholes, If you can't think of a better way, you must implement it whether you want to or not. As a result, the Prussian officer corps headed by Crook and the Bavarian officer corps headed by Caliput began to form a joint general staff and prepare to formulate a combat plan. And at this time, what is Prince Ruprecht busy with?
"Go and collect all the recent American intelligence." All the way on the pommel horse, while thinking about how to deal with the Prussian officer corps, the intelligence of the Americans was a little relaxed, and now the internal problems of the army have been resolved, according to the The goal of my own campaign is to beat the British and the French. This is actually not difficult. With the current strength of the German Army, it can be replaced by Crook. In fact, the military problem on the Western Front is not a problem at all, and it is full of cards. , Can you still lose when the tactics are excellent? What are you kidding?
Therefore, for Ruprecht, there are only two real problems, one is how to deal with the relationship with the Americans, and the other is how to deal with the large fleet of the British Empire. As for the latter question, it is still a little early. The prince does not want the High Seas Fleet to take any real action before the ground attack on the western front diverts the attention of the British and removes the last HNA bomber unit with strong combat effectiveness. Now it is training, hoarding supplies, and perfecting tactics. Take your time.
And the Americans? I'm afraid we have to hurry up, because everyone knows that once the offensive officially starts, it doesn't mean that it can be stopped if it stops. What is the attitude of Britain and France? Are they lucky to survive, or are they going to hold out and negotiate peace? Of course, the attitudes of Britain and France are not important. The French can just be defeated, the British? See you in Beihai. The attitude of the Americans is very subtle. Do you really think that the Americans will only discuss the French with the prince?
In fact, now, everyone needs to plan after the war. The outcome of the war has already been decided. Even if the French have survived this wave, do they think they can win? Obviously not! Americans don't know that the Germans will win? Naturally, Americans have to consider two things. One is not to let the Germans eat too much, and the nails that should be left must still be left. Another problem is that we can't really break up with Germany. After all, the Americans want Japan to spit out the Dutch East Indies. Without the Germans, it is very difficult to do it. The price is too high!
Therefore, now is the most critical stage of the game between the two sides. Ruprecht can guess roughly what the Americans will do, but he can’t guess the details. If Ruprecht is an American, then he will definitely win over France. people,
And made various promises to allow the French to accept a decent peace talk, while further isolating the British, forcing the British to submit, and spit out enough benefits. Then limit the gains of the Germans by stopping the war. After all, the battlefield determines the negotiating table. Now that the negotiations are negotiated, the Germans’ gains and the advantages on the negotiating table must be different.
Of course, Roosevelt probably thought so too, but the attitude of Britain and France is intriguing. The British feel that they have a great naval advantage, and they are definitely willing to wait for a while to fight for no compensation, no colonies, and to ensure that the basic market of Western Europe remains unchanged (the so-called The basic situation remains unchanged, which means that Britain and France are still in the alliance, and Belgium guarantees independence.). It may even plan to use the conflict between the United States and Japan to recover blood after the war! And what about the French? It is estimated that those places can be cut off now, and those places must be kept, right? How to satisfy Germany without losing face too much?
It is not a secret that Crown Prince Ruprecht, Bavaria, and the Austro-Hungarian Army entered the Western Front on a large scale. Soon, both the Americans as allies, Britain and France, already knew about it. Because the prince didn't intend to hide at all, and these millions of people and hundreds of thousands of vehicles (mostly horse-drawn carriages) moved forward along the road and railway lines, this kind of thing can't be hidden. And for the Allied Powers, such an action is objectively no less than the bell of the doomsday! Of course, whether the other party can realize it is a question worth studying.
Just before Ruprecht arrived at the front line, the French special envoy Ernst Mony and the accompanying military adviser General Weygand had already left France on an American cruise ship and rushed to the United States. This 24,000-ton United States The cruise ship only took a French delegation of less than 30 people, and traveled to the United States at a speed of more than 25 knots.
Looking at this cruise ship that has not caught up with the American flag, Ernst really has mixed feelings. Because he knows that his journey will directly determine the fate of France in the future, as well as the change of French diplomatic strategy. And now, France, which was once glorious and proud, can only guarantee its safety by taking the ferry of the enemy and friends. This matter is really embarrassing!
As for Weygand? As Ernst's military adviser and military deception commissioner, he was responsible for advising Ernst, and at the same time, through his professional knowledge and eloquence, he convinced Roosevelt that although the French wanted peace, the army was still strong. Stop the German offensive! Well, even Wey Gang himself doesn't believe this sentence....
