The Rise of the Empire

There is no love or hatred for no reason in the world. It is not a good thing to be courteous for nothing. Americans have given so many benefits, so what do they want to do for themselves? The prince looked at the other party with a puzzled expression.

"We just hope that your country can stand on the side of the United States of America on the next issue of Hawaii and the aftermath of the war. Now it is Russia and your country that can uphold justice." Roosevelt finally said his intention, making a proud It is not easy for a person and a proud country to say these words.

"The war is so bad, how do you plan to deal with the aftermath? Do you want to carve up the Philippines with Japan or take back Samoa? Don't think about these two! Even Hawaii is in danger, and you can only blame yourself for that. As for Speaking of standing on the side of the United States of America? We can give some help diplomatically, but it is impossible for us to send troops or take other strong actions!" said the prince.

Want to say, will the Japanese take Hawaii? The prince thinks that the possibility is not great, but there is a premise that the Americans must make a strong enough response in Hawaii. For example, before the arrival of the Japanese fleet, the deployment of the completed army on Hawaii, the operation of seizing the island and the subsequent settlement is a must. A matter of time and resources. If the Americans don't react strongly enough, the Japanese will naturally take it here easily, but if there is a reaction, then the Japanese occupation cost will rise sharply until it is unbearable!

And what the prince means is that if you want to prevent the Japanese from occupying this place, the cost must be high enough. The Americans need at least tens of thousands of ground troops to decisively suppress the riots of the local Japanese expatriates, and then make a protracted war. ready! Let the Japanese get out of trouble.

"We also know that it is useless to pin our hopes on mediation and diplomacy, but we really don't have enough power to stop the actions of the Japanese. When fists can't solve the problem, it is obviously not a good way to solve the problem with the mouth." Way." Roosevelt sighed.

"Now, if you lose the courage to fight yourself, then no one can help you. If you want to hold Hawaii, you must take courage and action? If you can deploy 15,000 people on the island If you don’t have more than 30,000 U.S. troops, then the Japanese will weigh the cost of seizing the island, and if you can deploy 30,000 U.S. troops, then the Japanese will never have similar ideas!” said the prince.

"But our naval power in the Pacific is very weak, and we have no ability to escort the army there?" Roosevelt said in surprise.

"So what? It is also impossible for the Japanese forces to blockade the entire Hawaii! Even with the voyage of the Asama-class armored cruiser, it is absolutely impossible to cruise in Hawaii for a long time, and the Japanese navy has not moved now! You can completely grasp this paragraph Time to act!"

"There are risks, and the disadvantage of not having a navy also exists. But you must know that the cost of the Japanese fighting for Hawaii across thousands of miles is even greater! Simple army transportation and supplies are an almost unavoidable problem. This time, the Japanese are testing , to test the response of the United States, if the Americans give up because of the first two failures, then the Japanese will not hesitate to send the fleet. And if your country can show enough toughness, and the huge cost and the long distance Naturally, Japan will give up, and this is not so much a contest of military power, but a game of courage and will!" The prince replied.

"This is an adventure!" Roosevelt said, taking a deep breath.

"Is this an adventure? The Battle of Sedan between the German Empire and France was an adventure. It was only a few tens of thousands of troops. They didn't even dare to pay for this. What are they talking about marching into the Far East and taking revenge on the Japanese? Can the Japanese go there?" Samoa is already a miracle, and their strength cannot support further expeditions!" The prince's words were full of temptation, and this made the tough man on the opposite side regain his courage.

"This is also your chance to take the top position. If you can personally participate in this defense battle and command a force composed of volunteers and mercenaries, then once you successfully suppress the rebellion in Hawaii, the prestige you will gain will let you People ignore the mistakes you made in this war. How about it? Do you want to try it?" The prince's words made the latter feel a little surprised and puzzled.

"Mercenaries? Do you think this is the Middle Ages or the Napoleonic era?" Roosevelt asked with a smile. "Or like what your country did in the Qing-Japanese War?"

"Of course it's the latter." The prince said after sinking for a moment.

"The price is high enough. The situation you face in Hawaii may be worse than your situation in the Far East. This is not just a money problem that can be solved. You will definitely have other demands!" Roosevelt answered from the prince There was a hint of conspiracy in the air.

As Roosevelt said, the situation faced by the Blue Army this time is more severe than the Sino-Japanese War. If Japan really wants to fight at any cost, then the whole of Hawaii will become an isolated island. How many troops and supplies can be transported there? It's all an unknown! In a hurry, it is unknown how many troops and supplies Hawaii may eventually bring in. To put it bluntly, if you are unlucky, it is possible for the entire blue army to be wiped out by the opponent directly on the transport ship!

The decisive factor in this battle is to see whether Japan will fight or not, and the cost issue. If Japan dares to fight, then the Blue Army and the US military in Hawaii will be trapped on an isolated island without foreign aid! The situation is very bad! In the face of this situation, the Germans are still willing to help, so what they are seeking is definitely not just an economic benefit! I'm afraid it's a quasi-alliance in politics or even in the military!

"So what do you, or Germany, need?" Roosevelt asked.

"The Blue Army is out for money, and as a state's military force, all we want and can want is money! But for Germany, there will be a lot of cooperation between us. If Fang can agree to some of our conditions, then it is not impossible for the Three Kingdoms to intervene and return the Liao Dynasty again! How is it? This condition is not bad, right?" the prince said leisurely.

"So what does the United States need to pay?" Roosevelt took off his glasses and said, wiping a cold sweat.

"Deeper cooperation is also a plan for me at the moment. If your conditions cannot satisfy the government, just treat it as if I didn't agree. You have wasted too many opportunities. I hope you can grasp it this time!" said the prince.
