"Your Highness, Britain people's sea transportation lines have almost been cut off by our Commerce Raiding Fleet and submarine forces. However, a large number of merchant ships from United States have filled this gap, making The Britain people are still able to continuously obtain various supplies they urgently need from all over the world. This is a huge blow to our tactics of besieging Britain, and our efforts are almost in vain," Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said to Oscar.
Oscar nodded. Americans's approach was indeed very detrimental to Germany. This is equivalent to Americans borrowing Britain and France's hand to weaken German Empire's power. By hiding behind, they can not only make huge war fortunes, but also increase their influence in the world. Therefore, Oscar has always regarded United States as Germany's biggest opponent. If Germany wants to secure its position as world hegemon, it is inevitable to defeat United States and eliminate their threat to the German Empire. Otherwise, United States will be a big threat to China sooner or later.
"United States is a neutral country now, and we cannot attack them. Before defeating Britain and France, it is very unwise for us to provoke such a powerful enemy as United States." Oscar shook his head. Now he also feels helpless. United States is too strong and he doesn't want to confront United States yet. Unless Germany wins this war, otherwise, he will try his best to avoid conflict with United States.
"Your Highness, I find that you are a little too conservative in your treatment of United States? Although United States is very strong, we are not afraid of them. Especially now that Russia has withdrawn from the war, they pose no big threat to us." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz thought for a while and then said.
Oscar was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said. It's hard not to be afraid of United States, Oscar. The United States of later generations is the world's most powerful country and the world's policeman. Its military strength dominates the world. Such a powerful country has caused all subsequent countries to live in their shadow. Oscar, of course, will naturally be afraid of United States.
"Your Highness, United States's industrial strength is very strong, I admit that. However, they are only the world's largest industrial output value. In other words, they have high industrial output value, not strong. In many cutting-edge fields, Empire is much ahead of United States. In addition, although United States is a country with a large population, their army is small, poorly equipped and poorly trained, and their navy is not strong. Although it ranks behind us and Britain, it is not a threat to the Empire. Of course, United States has strong industrial strength and can build many battleships. However, the construction of battleships can be done. It's not that easy, it takes a lot of time. Even if Americans goes to war with us, their industrial strength cannot be transformed into war strength in a short time, so we don't need to be afraid of them at all!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
After listening to Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz's words, Oscar's eyes suddenly lit up. Indeed, because of the memory of his previous life, he was naturally afraid of United States. However, what frightened him was not the current United States, but the superpower in future generations. If the United States in later generations is the Uncle Sam who dominates, then the current United States is just the young young Sam. Although, they already have a certain amount of capital to grow into a superpower. However, compared with the popular Germany, they are still far behind.
"Indeed, Your Excellency. I overestimated United States's strength. United States's geographical location is very good. The barrier between the two oceans, coupled with the vast land, rich resources, huge population, and developed industry, give them the potential to become a superpower. However, this After all, it is just potential. Now they have not been able to grow into a superpower, and their military strength cannot be compared with the Empire. Therefore, Empire does not need to be too afraid of them!" After untying this knot, Oscar suddenly had a different concept. He suddenly discovered that the current United States was not invincible.
"Let's do it, Marshal, Your Majesty will hold a Imperial Council meeting tomorrow. We happen to be discussing this issue at the meeting. I think everyone should be able to discuss a complete solution by then." Oscar said.
"Okay, Your Highness." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded.
After Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz left, Oscar couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Stereotyped thinking kills people! Because of stereotyped thinking, we almost missed a good opportunity to end the war as soon as possible!" Oscar sighed.
Originally, he didn't want to break up with United States right now. In this case, the war will inevitably be delayed longer, causing German Empire to pay greater losses in this war. And Americans can take this opportunity to further weaken the strength of Germany. This will be very detrimental to Germany defeating United States and safeguarding his own world Hegemonic Status in the future.
United States's strength is indeed very powerful. However, the current United States does not have the capital to let German Empire retreat. Of course, United States's powerful industrial strength will be very terrifying once it is transformed into war strength. It is very difficult for Germany to defeat United States like this. But it is a pity that Germany in this time and space is much more powerful than in another time and space. As a result, United States in this time and space has no chance to intervene in this war.
According to Oscar's plan, this spring, German Army will make a breakthrough in Western Front, defeat Anglo-French Allied Forces, defeat France, and further force Britain to surrender. If Britain does not surrender, start preparing a battle plan for landing in Britain.
Imperial Navy will also defeat Royal Navy in the first half of this year, preferably before the decisive battle on land begins, at least severely damage them and eliminate their main combat power, so that German Navy can control the sea on Atlantic Ocean and prepare for landing in Britain.
If both German Army and the Navy can win on these two fronts, then Americans will not be a worry. In fact, the strong military strength displayed by Germany will make United States dare not act rashly. Thus watching Germany win this war and become the world hegemon.
After Germany digests the fruits of victory, United States will not pose much of a threat to China.
