The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 230: 1.72 meters and 1.27 meters

"Besides, the national strength of the Americans is not directly proportional to their combat effectiveness. They have a strong industry, vast land and rich resources, and a large population, but these things have not been transformed into corresponding combat effectiveness. There is no A strong enemy is an advantage, but also a disadvantage. What I didn't expect was that the Americans who fought against the British Royal Navy would lose so badly. Hehe." Saltsbury smiled slightly mockingly.

In this era, it is not enough to have money and industry, and the fist must be strong enough, otherwise the status is not so high. Now the world's first-class empires have at least been arrogant on the battlefield. Needless to say, the British, the French are also brilliant, The Germans stepped on the corpses of the French, and the Russians were called the European steamrollers. Austria-Hungary? It is precisely because there is no record that can be paid off that the status of Jianghu is not high.

The previous record of the Americans is also considered to be improvised. Losing to the British is a matter of course. Coupled with the fact that the Americans have won consecutive battles with the weak North American chicken Mexico, the world still thinks that the Americans are a bit capable, plus the navy that was known as the fifth in the world before the war started. From the outside, it is really bluffing, so people should look at the strength of the United States to be more than 1.72 meters.

But the result of the actual battle surprised the people of the world. "Fuck! Is this fucking match-fixing?" When the British government received the telegram from the front line, almost everyone couldn't believe their eyes. The world's No. 5 was knocked out like this? This is too fast! The Americans and the Russians were actually KO'd by the Japanese in one round. It stands to reason that they will have to fight for several months, right?

And precisely because of this defeat, the international status of the United States plummeted! In the eyes of the great powers, the Americans went directly from 1.72 meters to 1.27 meters! And a bunch of so-called military commentators lost their jobs. Ever since, the US military power has become the laughing stock of the great powers.

It is precisely because of the military failure that the British government finally gave up its efforts to reconcile the Americans. Only the strong can be friends with the strong. The Americans have enough industrial and economic strength, but the military is really not enough. Even Some people in the British government raised the question: "How can you talk about the Monroe Doctrine with this ability? Are you kidding?" So a group of British MPs, under the control of capitalists, prepared to pass a plan to infiltrate South America! After all, South America is very rich, much better than Africa!

When the two sides take on a big enmity, and one of them has enough force to back it up, then it is not important for the other party to improve the relationship. Anyway, the United States can't do anything to the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom does have reasons to support Japan, so after hesitating for a long time, the British finally decided to take an inaction attitude towards the relationship between the United States and Britain. How do you love the United States! Want to bow the British Empire? Think too much!

Historically, Americans helped the British win World War I. What benefits did Britain give to the United States? The Paris peace conference was led by Britain and France, and the concerns of the Americans were not responded to. Even later, the Americans thought about returning the Pacific islands to Germany, which would be better than giving them to Japan. Of course, how can Japan spit out what they eat? In the end, everyone negotiated and settled the matter, so the United States actually did not gain much in World War I.

There is no friendship between countries, only interests, and this exchange of interests is definitely not reciprocal. What did the Americans get for helping the British so much? It is completely out of proportion to the effort and effect. Of course, some people will say that the Americans are afraid that Germany will unify the European continent. It can only be said that this is more speculation. After all, the Americans are not traversers.

No one could have imagined that Germany in World War II was so crazy!

At least now the British think that it is unnecessary to offend Japan, their number one thug in the Far East, for the sake of US-British relations, and it is also good for British capital after Japan controls the Philippines. After careful consideration, the British government adopts a cold treatment of the United States. If you want to scold, you can scold if you want. It is impossible to coerce Britain to put pressure on Japan with the relationship between the two countries. And in this way, Americans find themselves unprecedentedly isolated, because of all the powerful countries in the world, no country is willing to help the Americans at this time!

The French have no friendship with the Americans. The Russians said that I am very disappointed in you. From the perspective of Russia, I sold you most of the Far East Fleet, and you actually gave it away in one round! What is the difference between such an ally and a salted fish? The Russian Navy stated that it would never cooperate with the Americans again. It is a good way to cheat teammates. If General Essen was not brave and invincible and sacrificed himself for others, wouldn’t the US and Russian fleets have their heads shaved?

The Americans sadly found that in the huge world, the only country they could find was Germany, but what was disappointing was that Germany could not provide much help now. Strength and national interests are one and the same. On the one hand, the most important thing is that the health of the Kaiser and the German Prime Minister is not very good now!

Frederick III, who lived for 8 more years, is finally coming to the end of his life. Although he can barely control it with drugs, he can no longer bear the heavy work, and the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck also resigned because of his health. The post of Chancellor of the Reich was replaced by Kalipme. And when such internal political changes are taking place, the Germans really cannot provide much help to the Americans.

Of course, there are also personal reasons. The German Crown Prince Wilhelm II, who had begun his regency, thought the Americans were too bad to deserve any help from the Reich. And when he came to Berlin again, Prince Ruprecht also believed that it was not good to help the Americans at this time. On the one hand, he had to bear a greater diplomatic risk. This kind of help can be provided, and the other party should also feel that the help is hard-won. Only in this way, he will cherish it! So the meaning of the time traveler is to show the Americans first.

Of course, this does not mean ignoring them, but not responding to the Americans' demands first, and seeing how the situation develops. Even if there is pressure, Germany cannot bear it alone, but the diplomatic etiquette that should have is Can't be less.
