Germany Ambassador to Switzerland Jacob, this period of time is very prosperous. As Germany was victorious on the battlefield, his waist became straighter and straighter. Almost everyone thinks that there will be no suspense about Germany winning this war. It is also a certainty that Germany will replace Britain as the new world hegemon.
Countless countries wanted to curry favor with Germany, the new world hegemon, and Jacob, the ambassador to Switzerland, so they naturally received compliments from envoys from various countries. In particular, some countries that were not very friendly to Germany during the war wanted to take this opportunity to repair their relations with Germany, lest Germany would settle accounts with them after winning the war.
"Your Excellency, Ambassador Island Nation would like to meet with you." The secretary said to Jacob.
"Island Nation people? What do they want to do? If I remember correctly, we and Island Nation are still at war with each other. Empire's colonies on Pacific Ocean are still in the hands of the Island Nation people!" Jacob frowned.
As the saying goes, after the Emperor of the Empire has treated Island Nation people so politely, Empire officials will naturally not have a good look towards Island Nation people. In particular, diplomats are good at reading people's hearts. Naturally, they will not be stupid enough to maintain good relations with Island Nation people.
"Your Excellency, Ambassador Island Nation claims to want to talk to you about the colony on Pacific Ocean." The secretary said.
Jacob thought for a while, then nodded. "Okay, go ahead and make arrangements!"
"Yes, Prime Minister." The secretary breathed a sigh of relief. In his pocket, there was a thousand Mark given by Island Nation people. Island Nation's request was also very simple. It was just to facilitate the meeting between Ambassador Island Nation and Jacob. It was not to ask him to betray Germany's information, so the secretary thought it was very easy to make money.
The next night, Jacob and Uchida Kosai met in the secret room of the Germany embassy in Switzerland.
"Hello, Your Excellency Jacob, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see me!" Uchida Kosai's attitude was very low, as if he regarded himself as Jacob's subordinate.
For Island Nation people, face has never been an important thing. There is only one thing they really care about, and that is tangible benefits. If giving up face can bring benefits to them, these Island Nation people will throw away face without hesitation.
"Hello, Mr. Uchida." Jacob felt very satisfied when he saw Uchida Kosai humiliating himself in front of him.
"Your Excellency Jacob, our country's declaration of war on the German Empire is completely a misunderstanding. You should know that our country and Britain signed an agreement as early as 1902 Alliance Treaty, the contract was renewed in 1911. Therefore, after the war broke out, we had to fulfill our alliance commitments, so we declared war on Germany as a last resort. It was not our country's intention. We sincerely admire German Empire's victory on the battlefield. Therefore, our country has decided to terminate its alliance with. Britain's alliance. And return all Germany's colonies on Pacific Ocean to Germany!" Uchida Kosai said.
In order to gain benefits for Island Nation, he put all the responsibilities on the Britain people, as if they were innocent.
Jacob smiled, but his smile was very contemptuous, the kind of smile that was superficial but not smiling. He completely watched Uchida Kosai's performance with a cold eye. Uchida Kosai's rhetoric may be acceptable for coaxing a three-year-old child. However, to deceive a senior diplomat like him would be to underestimate yourself.
"Your Excellency, no matter what the reason is, your country declared war on the Empire and blatantly seized Empire's colonies. This is an irrefutable fact! If your country is willing to return those colonies, then naturally It couldn't be better. However, your country's actions have caused serious losses to the German Empire, so should your country compensate German Empire for its losses?" Jacob asked.
"This..." Uchida Kosai was stunned. Island Nation's country only promises to return those colonies, and this is on the premise that Germany allows Island Nation to join Allied Powers. As for paying compensation to Germany, he has not been authorized.
"Your Excellency, I will report your request to the country." Uchida Kosai said.
Jacob nodded, knowing that Uchida Kosai couldn't make the decision. In fact, he is just a mouthpiece. Island Nation people's request, he must also report it to the country in its original form. As for whether the country will agree to it, it is not up to him to decide.
"Your Excellency, our country hopes to correct the mistakes made in the past. Therefore, we hope to join Allied Powers led by Germany. If Germany is willing to accept us, our country promises to fulfill its obligations and declare war on Britain!" Uchida Kosai continued.
"Join Allied Powers?" Jacob was a little unsure of what these Island Nation people were thinking. If it were before the war broke out, if Island Nation wanted to betray Britain and join Allied Powers, Germany would naturally support it with both hands. After all, after Russo-Japanese War, Island Nation can be regarded as one of the few great powers in the world. Especially their army, although the equipment is a little worse. However, it still has a strong fighting capacity. If Island Nation can attack Britain's colony in the early stages of the war, or cooperate with Germany to attack Russia, this will be very beneficial to Germany.
But it is a pity that when the war broke out, Island Nation fulfilled Anglo-Japanese Alliance without hesitation and declared war on Allied Powers.
Now, if Island Nation people want to join Allied Powers, their intentions are undoubtedly very suspicious.
Jacob can be sure that the reason why Island Nation people proposed to join Allied Powers at this time must have an ulterior secret.
Suddenly, Jacob had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood Island Nation's intention. The Island Nation people have requested to declare war on Britain. It is obviously impossible to send troops to Europe to participate in the attack on British mainland. Then, there is undoubtedly only one target for their attack, and that is Britain's colony in Far East.
Britain has already paid a heavy price in this war. Their colonies no longer have decent armies. It can be said that if Island Nation launches an attack on Britain's colonies, they can easily capture those colonies. At that time, whose colonies will belong to them?
"Your Excellency, I have to admire your country's shamelessness. You actually want to snatch the fat from the German Empire's bowl at this time. It is simply shameless. Do you think that German Empire's diplomats are all fools?" Jacob said with a cold face.
Suddenly, Uchida Kosai looked embarrassed, ashamed and angry.
