Germany, Berlin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Imperial Foreign Minister Feng Kidron Wachth, I am in a very good mood recently. He is optimistic that the war will most likely end this year. Even if the progress is a little slower, it will definitely end next year. By then, as Imperial Foreign Minister, he will be very busy. On behalf of the Empire, he will negotiate with those defeated countries and slaughter them well. Every time he thinks of this, Feng Kidron Wachth gets very excited.
"Your Excellency, this is the telegram sent back by the Embassy in the United States." The secretary placed a newly translated telegram on von Kidron Vachter's desk.
Feng Kidron Wachth picked up Telegram and took a look, but his expression soon became unsightly.
"Shameless Americans, they dare not admit it. At this time, do they still want to deny it? Moreover, their attitude is still very tough. Do they still want to become enemies with the Empire at this juncture?" Feng Kidron Wachth said coldly.
According to von Kidron Wachth, it is undoubtedly very unwise for Americans to do this. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Germany's victory in the war is almost certain. Americans chose to offend German Empire, which is simply a fool's errand.
"Prepare the car, go to the palace immediately, and report to Your Majesty. In addition, notify Prime Minister, Crown Prince, Naval Minister and Minister of War." Feng Kidron Wachth ordered. Americans chose to be the enemy of the Empire, which is undoubtedly a big event for the entire Germany. Especially now that the war is not over yet. Although Germany has the advantage, it has not truly won the final victory. If United States joins in and fights on Allied Powers's side, this may cause the strength comparison between the two sides to change significantly again. This is undoubtedly not a good thing for the German Empire.
Twenty minutes later, German government and the top military officials gathered in Wilhelm II's office.
"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, Americans's attitude is really tough?" Wilhelm II asked. In his mind, he also thinks that Americans should stop supporting Allied Powers. In that case, all problems will undoubtedly be solved. However, it is a pity that Americans's choice once again exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Americans claimed that they did not violate the neutrality law. At the same time, they also claimed that they have the right to trade with any country, and other countries have no right to make irresponsible remarks on their trade." Von Kidron Wachth said.
"Asshole! Americans is deliberately provoking Empire! Everyone knows what they transported to Allied Powers. But they have the guts to do it but don't have the guts to admit it. It's so shameless!" Wilhelm II was furious.
"Your Majesty, Americans has made it clear that they are enemies of the Empire. Then we might as well not worry about it so much and just attack their merchant ships. If we can stop If Americans transports supplies to Allied Powers, our possibility of defeating Britain and France will be further improved. This will be very beneficial to us in winning the next war!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
Now Imperial Navy can be said to be full of confidence. With a large number of cutting-edge warships in service, German Navy has become the well-deserved number one in the world. Especially British Royal Navy also suffered heavy losses under the blow of German Navy, which further strengthened Imperial Navy's confidence. Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz is even confident that even if American Navy joins in, German Navy will have enough strength to deal with it.
"Attack the United States merchant ship? This is not good. I'm afraid it will directly force Americans to Allied Powers's side. In this case, Empire will also be very disadvantageous. Besides, attacking merchant ships will have a very negative impact on the Empire's International Image." Chancellor Bülow raised objections.
"Your Majesty, even if United States joins Allied Powers, it will not change the outcome of the war. Our army and navy will soon launch a large-scale attack. By then, once we win on these two fronts, we will be the last The victory is not far away. Even if Americans joins the war, it is impossible to send troops to Europe in a short time. Therefore, we don't need to be afraid of them at all!" Minister of War and Chief of Staff Feng? Falkenhayn also said.
Wilhelm II nodded. The battle has reached this point, and the dawn of victory has undoubtedly appeared. Therefore, Germany no longer needs to be as timid as before. However, he still did not make a decision immediately.
"Oskar, what do you think?" Wilhelm II asked.
Although Oscar is still young, Wilhelm II no longer regards Oscar as a child. He often attaches great importance to many of Oscar's suggestions. Countless previous examples have undoubtedly proven that Oscar has amazing foresight on many issues.
"Father, what the Americans are doing is indeed very detrimental to the empire. Now it is almost certain that the Americans want to use the British and French to weaken our strength. That is why they will maintain a tough attitude. Naturally, the empire cannot turn a blind eye to what the Americans are doing. Otherwise, If it does, it will not only harm the interests of the empire, but also increase the empire's losses in this war. It will be very detrimental to the empire's future dominance in the world. Therefore, I believe that we must not retreat this time and must take a tough attitude to respond to the Americans." Qin Tian said.
Wilhelm II pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "If United States takes the opportunity to join the war, join Allied Powers. It won't have a big impact on the future war situation, right?"
What Wilhelm II is most worried about is undoubtedly the fact that the victory is about to be achieved, but it fails due to those reasons. In that case, it would be too uneconomical. Rather than that, Wilhelm II would rather pay more losses to ensure that Empire wins the future war. Winning is the most important thing.
"Father Emperor, even if Americans joins the war, it will not have much impact on the overall situation. It will be inevitable for us to defeat Britain and France. Americans cannot save them. Of course, at this stage, we have nothing to do with United States is not a threat at home. However, as long as we occupy the entire European continent and integrate the strength of the entire Europe, we will definitely defeat United States!" Oscar said with confidence.
