It was already late at night after Bryan ended the conversation with Crown Prince Hirohito and Kato Takaaki. Although he was relatively tired, his spirit was very high. In order to win over other countries to form Anti-German Alliance and jointly deal with Germany, he tried his best.
Bryan knows very well that it will be very difficult to defeat Germany relying solely on United States's strength. Especially after Germany takes over the vast colony, it can be expected that Germany's industrial strength will take off further. At that time, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for United States to fight against Germany.
Therefore, if United States wants to defeat Germany, there is only one way. That is cooperation with other countries. Try every means to bring other countries into the Anti-German Alliance. Only in this way can United States have the possibility of victory.
United States not only regards countries that have enmity with Germany as potential targets that can be won over. Even other neutral countries, even Buru, whom they regard as a devil, are also regarded as objects that they can win over.
"Come here, invite Crown Prince Karl!" Bryan ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Crown Prince Karl of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also the key target that Bryan wants to win over. As the victor of World War this time, Austro-Hungarian Empire is still very powerful. Their industrial strength is now second only to United States and Germany. The military strength is even stronger than United States. Of course, what's more important is that Austro-Hungarian Empire has always been Allied Powers's second most powerful country and Germany's die-hard ally. If Austro-Hungarian Empire abandons Germany, it will be a huge blow to Germany's prestige.
What's more, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany are bordering. If a war breaks out, you can directly attack Germany's homeland. This will pose a greater threat to Germany.
Of course, Bryan also knows that with the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is completely impossible to defeat Germany once a war begins. Even if you want to resist Germany's attack, it is impossible. However, if Austro-Hungarian Empire can persist for a period of time, Anti-German Alliance's army will be able to attack Germany from other places. Even, directly use Austro-Hungarian Empire to start a war with Germany. At that time, even if Austro-Hungarian Empire is beaten to pieces, it will be none of United States's business. Anyway, the war is not fought in United States's homeland. In that case, United States can eliminate some opponents and ensure that United States can become the world's hegemon after the war.
As for whether Crown Prince Karl will agree to cooperate, Bryan is not worried at all. From what I learned from United States, this Crown Prince is quite hostile to Germany. If it weren't for the fact that Franz? Joseph was still hanging on for a breath, maybe he would have openly opposed Germany. In this case, it can also be fully demonstrated that Crown Prince Karl is already their potential partner.
Crown Prince Karl was the focus of the banquet, and he was still young now. Even though he is married, Crown Prince, as Austro-Hungarian Empire, is undoubtedly a one-night stand in the eyes of many ladies.
Europe Although various countries practice monogamy, it is normal for a man to have several lovers. Especially men with high status have many lovers.
"Your Highness, Your Excellency Secretary of State hopes to talk to you about something." US Ambassador to Germany said to Crown Prince Karl in a low voice.
Crown Prince Karl nodded, then got out of the flowers and followed US Ambassador to Germany to the secret room.
"I'm sorry, Crown Prince, to bother you!" Bryan looked very humble.
"Your Excellency Secretary of State, you are too polite." Crown Prince Karl said with a smile.
Although Crown Prince Karl is a bit arrogant, he thinks of many issues very simply. However, he is definitely not a fool. In fact, Crown Prince Karl has always had a strong sense of crisis. Otherwise, he wouldn't always hate Germany.
The theme of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is Austrian Empire, Austria and Germany are the same, they are Germanic people. Even the language is the same. This makes Crown Prince Karl always worry that when Germany becomes stronger, it will annexation of Austria Empire, or even swallow the whole Austro-Hungarian Empire. In this case, Habsburg dynasty's rule may come to an end. This is what Crown Prince Karl has always tried its best to avoid. He doesn't want to become a king who subjugates his country.
Crown Prince Karl also knows that it is difficult to fight against Germany relying solely on the Austro-Hungarian Empire's strength. They need more allies. Only in this way can Germany be defeated. United States on the other side of the ocean is undoubtedly a very powerful country. Although the overall national strength is not as good as Germany, it is definitely stronger than Austro-Hungarian Empire. Crown Prince Karl is already thinking about how to get online with United States. However, before he truly became the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, some of his names were not justified.
This time, Bryan held a banquet, and he immediately decided to attend. Naturally, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to contact Americans.
Unexpectedly, Americans also had the same idea. This actually made Crown Prince Karl feel like the two parties hit it off.
"Crown Prince, I wonder what you think about Germany's Military Parade and Naval Review this time?" Bryan asked.
Crown Prince Karl raised his eyebrows, and then said, "The Germany people have fully demonstrated their strong military strength. I have to admit that the military power of the Germany people is indeed very strong. At least, compared to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is far inferior! Even, I no longer have the courage to fight against Germany."
"Crown Prince is joking. Austro-Hungarian Empire is a die-hard ally of Germany. You two will only cooperate all the time. How can you confront each other? That is simply impossible!" Bryan said with a smile.
Crown Prince Karl glanced at Bryan, then shook his head. "Yes, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany are allies now. However, Germany's wild There is no limit to the heart. As their strength grows, will they tolerate the existence of another big country? Therefore, we have to prepare early, otherwise the only way to wait for the Austro-Hungarian Empire is to destroy it!
Bryan nodded, knowing that what Crown Prince Karl said was true. After all, if it were United States, he would not allow a big country to appear around him. This is also the reason why United States has been sparing no effort to suppress Mexico. Almost all the territories in the west of United States were snatched from Mexico. Once Mexico becomes powerful, no one can guarantee whether they will find Americans to regain their position.
