Chapter 2287 Peace Proposal One
"Of course, I can guarantee that the previous commitments made by the German Empire to your country are valid. We will do everything we need to do, and there will be no procedural problems in the process of fulfilling our obligations." The crown prince thought of himself Said, ignoring the slight change in the face of the Americans.
"The agreement we signed at the beginning stated that the German Empire was obliged to help the U.S. government take back from the Japanese the colonies originally transferred to your country by the empire after the war, is that so? And we also set a time limit, when the war officially ends The German government must fulfill this responsibility within the next 15 months," Ruprecht said.
"That's right, that's what we did," Taft said.
"Then I'm thinking about two questions now. The first question is, what if the war never ends?" Ruprecht just said the first point, but was interrupted by Taft in a hurry.
"Your Highness, are you joking? The British have issued a truce statement, and the next step is negotiations. How could the war never end?" Taft said.
"However, we are not satisfied with the armistice statement of the British, so we did not accept it! And even if the armistice is reached, it does not mean that the war is over, because we have not signed the end-war treaty. Your country requires that things must be legally and procedurally It is legal, and I support this, so, as I see it, the war is not over until we reach an end-war treaty with the British! Don’t you think so?” Ruprecht said with a slight smile.
"Damn it!" Taft shook his right hand, and the document in his hand fell to the table with a clatter. He didn't expect that the so-called report of current events would come so quickly! He just raised the so-called procedural issue, and now, the Germans immediately slapped him back! And the Americans just can't refute it!
The war is over, and then the Germans dragged their feet on signing the treaty, then the series of agreements signed between the Americans and the Germans on the Pacific War could not be implemented, after all, every document said, the war can not start until the official end Preparations for the Pacific War…. This is true, the absolute laws and procedures are correct!
"There are loopholes in both laws and treaties. However, as an ally, the most basic requirement is to treat each other with sincerity. Your country's intentional delay obviously violates this principle. In many cases, integrity and credibility cannot be used by the law. It is stipulated in the agreement, but even if you did not violate the agreement, in our hearts, you are still a dishonest person. Of course, we also made mistakes, but we still came up with a remedy, and subjectively speaking, we are trying to make it up. "Wilson on the side said.
"This question is well said. Do you think it is enough for you to propose a remedy subjectively? But in the eyes of the German Empire, this is an excuse! We don't appreciate it! An agreement signed by the vice president and the plenipotentiary of the empire is thus invalidated , Then just imagine, who can trust your country? If our interests are harmed, we will naturally retaliate. This is an axiom, which is higher than the so-called morality and integrity!" Ruprecht said.
"By the way, I have another suggestion. This suggestion is very consistent with the principles of morality and integrity, and it is also very consistent with the concept of peace. It can help you solve the problem. I don't know if the two of you are interested." Rupresi Tet will naturally not be satisfied with the Americans launching an attack, and Germany countering this boring way of negotiating back and forth. What he pursues is to completely overwhelm the opponent! Let the other party be unable to argue!
"If we can negotiate to force the Japanese to withdraw their troops from the colonies that originally belonged to the United States, and reach a peace agreement on this, what is your attitude?" Ruprecht said with a smile.
In the previous agreement, both Germany and the United States said that Germany is obliged to help the United States get back the colonies originally transferred by Germany.
However, there is no provision for the method of taking it back. The United States and Germany can beat Japan up by hand, or let Japan return it voluntarily through negotiations! Well then, aren't you from the United States Guang Weizheng? Isn't it moral? So we don't fight anymore, can we let Japan return to its former colonies?
"The Japanese will not agree. They are a pack of wolves, scavengers! What they eat will never be spit out!" Taft said, wiping off a cold sweat.
"However, we must at least make a gesture of peace. In order to avoid war and unnecessary casualties, I think the door of negotiation should not be closed. Are you saying Mr. Wilson? At least now we should contact the Japanese and then consider discussing this matter matter."
"I can say responsibly that as long as Japan returns the colonies belonging to the United States and does not violate the interests of the German Empire in the Far East, we will not maintain a military presence in the Far East. There are no procedural or legal problems here. , I can make decisions on behalf of the empire." Ruprecht said meaningfully to the Americans, isn't it just shouting slogans? Anyone can do this! And Ruprecht has already thought about it, if the Americans are not sensible, then after the talks, he will really issue a statement on behalf of the German government asking Japan to return the former German colonies it occupied before!
As for whether the Japanese will accept it? For sure! Although Japan is greedy, although Japan is expanding beyond measure, the current Japanese high-level leaders are not as brain-dead as the Japanese high-level leaders in World War II in history! There are still basic judgments! The Japanese know one thing very well, that is, if the US and German navies join forces, then the northeastern region of Guinea Island that Japan previously occupied (that is, the original German Bismarck territory) will definitely not be able to defend.... There is no way, the power gap is too large, and the final result is to see when it is over.
The reason why the Japanese dared to take action here was actually based on the prediction that the Allied Powers would defeat the Allies, but the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.... The Allied Powers were defeated, and then Japan decided to play big....
If the Japanese continue to resist, then the lost place will not be the original German Pacific colony, and even the Dutch East Indies acquired during the war will be lost! It may even hang in the Philippines! Under such circumstances, if simply returning the original German colonies can prevent Germany from participating in the war in the Far East, then it is undoubtedly the best choice for Japan!
To tell the truth, after so many wars, the Japanese navy was afraid of the Germans, not the Americans! Look at Su Xiong, Earl of Blood, who bit off a large piece of meat from the Japanese fleet with just two super dreadnoughts! This combat power is really not blown out!
