Chapter 240： Are you here again? (1/2)

”You are smarter, stronger, and more determined than a year ago. You are now more like a ruler. On behalf of the United States of America and myself, I would like to express my sincere greetings and blessings to you.” When Prince Ruprecht When he met Roosevelt again, the latter's low-key and respectful attitude surprised the prince. How could the American president, who had a good word and a stick in his hand, become like this in history? Was it really defeated by this blow?

of course not! Roosevelt was a strong and fierce man. This setback may be great for him, but it is definitely not crushing him! It's just that the current situation requires him to make a low profile, nothing more!

”It's just a little setback. No country has gone smoothly when it comes to the pinnacle of power. The British have also lost to the Dutch. The loss of the United States is nothing.” The prince said with a smile.

”I have always had a doubt. Did you know that Japan had thoughts about the Philippines?” Roosevelt was not a person who could tolerate it. After a simple politeness, he asked his doubts.

”There is this kind of speculation, but there is no evidence. What is certain is that Japan regards the entire Far East as its own range of strength. They are very dishonest. After a certain degree, even the United Kingdom cannot control them. After defeating Russia, the entire Far East will become a powerful country in Japan. At that time, no one will even want to enter the Far East.” The prince replied.

”Then your country does not want to take some actions? Your country also has interests in the Far East.” Roosevelt said with some surprise.

”Our interests are only business, and more are some businesses that Japan cannot provide now, such as chemical products, dyes and munitions, etc. These things do not have much competition with Japan. The future of the empire lies in Europe and Africa. We will not seek more colonies in the Far East. It is too far away from us, and some are beyond reach.” The prince replied with a smile.

”Your choice surprised me. There are many inconsistencies between your statement and what your country did. If it is just a business, then it is difficult to explain everything your country did during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. This is already There is a game between military and political categories.” Roosevelt's face was full of suspicion.

”I don't deny that after the Toshima naval battle broke out, there were indeed some people in China who wanted to take the opportunity to expand their influence in the Far East, but the result has been very clear. The British people's mere uncooperative attitude can make German plans in the Far East stranded. That being the case, when the input and output are not proportional, you will naturally give up. Now I can tell you, whether it is the Blue Legion or other businesses, we are making a lot of money, and the main income has flowed in. The pockets of the Kingdom of Bavaria, not the empire,” said the prince.

”Your last sentence convinced me that what you said was right. You are an excellent businessman. Only money and power can make you serious.” Roosevelt sighed. The information provided by the prince is basically consistent with the information he obtained. The Blue Legion is just an experimental operation in Bavaria. The German government has not participated in much. The Kingdom of Bavaria is for money, which means that Germany's strategic change in the Far East is true. . In this case, there will be less competition between virtues. This is a good thing for the United States.

”Then let us work together for Virtue to have a better future. This time I came with sincerity. We need your country's help, and we can also pay enough price for this help! Two Munich ships Class armored cruiser, £1.5 million! The sooner the better!” Roosevelt said the real purpose of the trip, and nothing else, buy a warship!

This price is actually very good. The latter two Munich-class armored cruisers are not worth £750,000 each. The Americans have offered a higher price than the new ships. This price is economically equivalent to the German Navy. Unable to refuse.
