The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

"Prince Andrews, I have received a telegram from the Prime Minister of your country, and I know the purpose of your visit. "

"So, we want to know, what do we have to gain by forming an alliance with your country?"

After the reception, the two countries finally began consultations on important matters of mutual concern.

It was a secret meeting with very few attendees.

On Eagle Sauce's side, there are only a few high-ranking Eagle Sauce officials such as the president, vice president, and secretary of state affairs.

On the side of the Empire, apart from Andrews, there were only a few diplomats sent by Bismarck who were responsible for assisting Andrews.

This kind of meeting, naturally, is that the fewer people, the better.

In this way, it can not only reduce the risk of leakage, but also avoid the consumption of many people, and the two sides can discuss more effectively.

As it is now, President Cleveland went straight to the point.

Andrews also doesn't like to go around in circles, so he also gave a clear answer:

"Your country can reap a sincere friendship, a strong ally!

And get a chance to challenge the hegemony of the world!".

Andrews's first half of the sentence was unattractive to President Cleveland and the vice president, secretary of state and others around him.

President Cleveland even yawned, saying he was running out of patience.

However, after the latter sentence was finished, their faces changed.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Prince really dares to say that there is an opportunity to challenge the world hegemon?".

President Cleveland sneered, seeming to be disdainful of Andrews's statement.

Vice President Thomas on the side also said disdainfully: "As far as I know, it seems that the Second Empire does not have the strength to decide the ownership of the world hegemon, right?"

"Hehe, maybe it's because His Royal Highness the Prince is too young and indulged in a fairy tale world, so he doesn't know what the real world is like!".

It seems that because the tone of President Cleveland and Vice President Thomas is not very polite, the people on Eagle Sauce's side are also starting to be angry:

"I really don't know what the Second Empire thinks, but it actually sent a little kid over!".

"I think the Second Empire is simply fooling us and deceiving us like three-year-olds!"

......

President Cleveland coughed lightly, stopping the chatter from Eagle Sauce's side.

But his tone was also very polite: "Prince Andrews, I don't care what Bismarck and your emperor think, but if you don't have any sincerity, then there is no need to talk about the alliance, and we Eagle Sauce don't need to form an alliance with anyone!".

"Oh, is it?".

Andrews raised his head, looked President Cleveland in the eye, and spoke

"I would like to ask, in whose hands is the sea supremacy in the Northwest Atlantic?"

"You ......

".

No one on Hawk-chan's side opened his mouth to answer!

The control of the sea in the Atlantic Ocean to the west is currently in the hands of the people on whom the sun never sets.

And here is a very important shipping lane - the route from Europe to North America!

This route is currently in the hands of the Empire on which the sun never sets.

As long as the sun never sets on the empire, the Royal Navy can be dispatched at any time to cut off this route and block trade between North America and Europe.

If this happens, it will be a very big blow to Taka-chan.

Not only will this disconnect them from the mainstream world, but it will also make many of their goods unsellable and many of the raw materials ordered by factories unable to be transported.

If goods are not sold, factories will close down and workers will lose their jobs.

If the raw materials for production cannot be transported, the factory will not be able to operate, and the workers will also lose their jobs.

When the time comes, there will be so many unemployed people in the country, their social order will deteriorate instantly, and the social order will collapse.

Although it is not yet the era of globalization, it is still an era in which trade between countries is very frequent.

It is difficult for a country to survive in isolation and isolation, unless it is like the Qing court in the East, which is dominated by a small-scale peasant economy and produces and sells itself.

Andrews didn't make a long speech, just asked a question, and directly poked at the pain point of the Eagle Sauce people, letting them know that they actually had no choice but to stand up and challenge the supremacy of the sea where the sun never sets.

Otherwise, they will always live in the shadow of the snort!

President Cleveland took a deep breath and stared at Andrews for a few seconds before sighing

"It seems that I underestimated you, and your question just now really hit us in the sore spot. "

Seeing that the other party said this, Andrews knew in his heart that the other party had given up the temptation and was going to be open and honest.

So he sat up straight, a little more serious.

Diplomatic negotiations are inherently deceitful and deceitful.

The other party didn't stop his subordinates from ridiculing him just now, isn't it a means of exerting pressure?

But this method didn't work for Andrews, who appeared to be a twelve-year-old child, but in fact he was much more mentally mature than he looked.

"Without sea dominance, the fate of Eagle Sauce is always in the hands of the sun that never sets, and if you want to seize sea dominance, you must vigorously develop the navy.

But in this way, the sun will not set and you will definitely feel threatened, and then I am afraid that war between your two countries will be inevitable!"

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Andrews took the initiative to help the other party analyze the dilemma in front of Eagle Sauce.

"You are right, this is exactly our concern, the development of the navy means that the war may break out in advance, and the development of the navy means that our destiny cannot be controlled by ourselves, this is a dilemma!"

"No, you have a third option, form an alliance with us and fight together against the hegemony on which the sun never sets!"
