"Haha! The Versailles treaty was not a just treaty. It was just an unequal treaty that the former government was forced to sign. Don't tell me that you were the righteous side in the previous war. Your country knows very well why such a war broke out. Now Germany just wants to establish a national defense system that is exhausted by its own economy and national strength. Is this wrong?”
"Only the countries around us are allowed to have a large number of tanks, air forces, battleships, and aircraft carriers, and only we are allowed to have rifles? If that's the case, wouldn't some countries be able to wantonly tear apart our country's defense line and come to rob us? It's not like this hasn't happened a few years ago.”
When he saw this person, Rudolph was confident. He must have sent warmth to this person, or at least it was just a show for the French.
"Prime Minister, I don't mean what you think. Germany's rights naturally have to be respected, but if there are no restrictions, the empty auction will cause panic in the surrounding countries, resulting in a new round of arms race and even war. This is not what our Ying country wants to see.”
Sure enough, after seeing Rudolph's strength, Samuel Hall's expression changed. It was obvious that he was just trying to take the initiative to control the situation.
Motherf * cker! How despicable!
Rudolph couldn't help but curse in his heart. If he didn't know about the character, he would have to argue for a long time before he could get to the main topic.
It was obvious that Samuel Hall had come with a purpose. The military parade and Rudolph's speech had piqued the interest of the Ying nation.
They could not accept a strong country, especially one that was stronger than France. Similarly, they could not accept an extremely weak country.
Therefore, controlling the country within a certain sphere of influence was the most in line with the Ying country's continent balancing policy.
"Your Excellency, right now, we just want to have the national defense of a normal country. We have never thought of competing with you for world hegemony, nor have we thought of competing with France for the hegemony of Europe. We just want to recover our economy as soon as possible and let the country be endowed. Previously, we proposed to cooperate with your country to support the government of the Republic of Korea and prevent Japan from becoming the sole power there.”
Rudolph began to complain. His words were deeply recognized by Samuel Hall, who was a senior anti-war person. Of course, he meant that if a war was waged against some powerful countries, the strong should sit down and divide the world.
"If your country still has concerns, we can secretly sign a new treaty to limit our armaments. Of course, these restrictions must be reasonable, so that we have enough self-defense power, and at the same time, we won't make your country feel too threatened.”
Seeing that he was hesitating, Rudolph immediately struck while the iron was hot and put forward his own idea.
"Prime Minister, do you have any good ideas? If there was, he could tell her.”
Samuel Hall immediately asked.
"For example, our army can be fixed at 250,000 people, and the number of air force and tanks can also be fixed at no more than 1000. In this way, there will still be a huge gap between us and the French and Poles, but they will not dare to attack us easily."
"As for the navy, we still need coastal defense. Of course, it's not to challenge your country's maritime status at all. It's completely to defend against possible attacks from the French. According to the naval agreement of the Washington Convention, I think our navy only needs half of the Ying country's main fleet.”
Rudolph immediately took out his plan.
"It's not a big problem in terms of military strength, but you can't build too many tanks and planes to avoid provoking the French. As for the navy, your request is too high. As a country that mainly relies on the continent, it doesn't need so many warships.”
Samuel Hall shook his head. The purpose of his trip was to control the strength of the country's army, and the people of the Ying country valued the navy the most. As long as the navy of the Ying country was not defeated, no one would be able to land on their land.
"Your Excellency, according to the treaty, the French have a 3:5 ratio of the main fleet to your fleet. Even the Japanese have a 1.75 ratio, so it is not excessive for us in Germany to have 2.5. We should at least have more than the Japanese. How can those dwarfs compare to the great Germanic people?”
Rudolph said with a smile, obviously disdainful to compare his country with the Japanese.
While Rudolph and Samuel Hall were talking, the faces of the military leaders behind him changed. They thought that Rudolph would be very powerful, but this time, he added another lock on himself. They might as well make a fortune quietly like before.
It was just that out of trust, they didn't dare to raise objections at the meeting.
"Mr. Prime Minister, in that case, I need to communicate with the country. You should get someone to draft a draft. I will also communicate with the Prime Minister first.”
After seeing the expressions of those officers, Samuel Hall clearly understood that these conditions were very painful for the Ying Country. This was a good opportunity for the Ying Country.
