"Hmph, I'm so angry. What is the hawk-jam person trying to do? Are they our allies or our enemies?”
After the first day of the meeting, Gaul's president, Puengale, was so angry that he smashed things in his office.
Compared to the president's exasperation, Prime Minister Clermenceau was calmer.
There was no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests. Although the person who said this was a man from the Sun Never Sets, this sentence was most appropriate in international politics.
The reason why Eaglejam didn't agree with Gaul's proposal was that it only took care of the interests of the Gaul people, but not the interests of the Eaglejam people.
If Sun Never Sets and Gaul were to divide the colonies and homeland of the Second Empire, it would be like drawing water with a bamboo basket for nothing. They would not be willing to do such a stupid thing!
Therefore, it was normal for President Will to stand up and oppose it. If he didn't oppose it, then it would be strange!
Thinking of this, Clemenceau made up his mind. He decided to visit President Will tomorrow and see if he could talk to him in private. If he could convince him, that would be the best.
Even if they couldn't convince the other party, they had to at least figure out Yingchan's bottom line from the other party. That way, they would be able to make a move in the following negotiations.
……
Just as the Gauls were flustered and exasperated, President Will had a mysterious visitor.
"Mr. President, there's a man outside who claims to be a major of the German army who wants to visit you!”
President Will was born a commoner, but he was a dignified and strong-willed person. He was an extremely confident idealist. Under his leadership, Yingjian's industry progressed rapidly, its population grew rapidly, and social wealth accumulated rapidly. At this time, it had already surpassed the traditional overlord, the Sun Never Sets Empire, and became the true strongest country in the world.
However, the strongest country in the world currently did not have much say in the world. Countries led by traditional Western European countries such as Britain and France occupied the vast majority of the world's say. Although the young Ying-chan was strong, she could not reverse this disadvantage in a short period of time.
Moreover, it could be foreseen that if they could not weaken the strength of Britain and France, especially the Empire of the Sun Never Sets, it would be extremely difficult for them to gain more say.
Therefore, President Will had come to Iron Tower City to attend the conference to split the spoils. On the other hand, he had to sell his political ideas for the International Alliance!
Will believed that according to the changes in the international balance of power, Yingchan should abandon the traditional policy of isolation and take on the responsibility of leading the world. In the traditional world order established by countries such as Britain and France, there was no room for Yingchan to play. Only by establishing a new international order would Yingchan's strength be respected and she would have the right to speak!
If President Will could successfully establish the International Alliance, not only would his political reputation soar to an unprecedented level, but his country, Eagle, would also be able to obtain the status of a permanent member of the International Alliance as the victorious country and the founder of the International Alliance!
Even if this position couldn't directly replace the hegemony of England and France, it would at least be on equal footing with England and France. This would have an extremely important positive effect on Yingchan's participation in global hegemony in the future!
If this could be done, then in the hearts of the people of Yingjiang, President Will would definitely become a figure on par with the founding father of the country, Hua Shengdun, and the hero of the civil war, Lincoln!
At the thought of this, President Will was very excited. Therefore, not only did he not give in to the dissatisfaction of the Gauls, he even planned to lobby other countries, such as the Benelux countries and Italy, to obtain their support.
At this time, a Hans soldier came to visit him. This was something he had never expected!
"Let him in!"
When Will heard the news, he was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up. He thought of a good idea.
A moment later, Major Mayinz, who was under the tight protection of the guards, walked into President Will's room.
The Hawkeye people looked very nervous. Although Major Mayinz was the only one who came, they still looked like they were facing a great enemy.
Even though the American army joined the First World War relatively late, the American army still suffered heavy casualties of more than 500,000 people.
They had crossed the vast Atlantic Ocean to Europe, thousands of miles away, to fight for these bastards in Europe, and they had paid such a heavy price. Moreover, after the war, these European countries only cared about splitting the fruits of victory for themselves and had no intention of sharing any of it with them. One could imagine the anger in the hearts of the Hawkeye people!
The strong combat power of the German army had left a deep impression on the Hawkeye people. Moreover, this concerned the safety of the president. Even if the other party came alone, the bodyguards around the president did not dare to be careless. If they were not careful and this person was an assassin, and he stabbed or even assassinated the president, not only would they be blamed for running away, but the entire United States would become a laughing stock!
President Will did not think that this person would pose any threat to him. At this moment, the Hans were probably looking for allies and support all over the world!
Among the allied countries, the only country that was not hostile to Hans was probably the Yingchan family. Under such circumstances, the other party would not have time to curry favor with him. Why would they assassinate him?
"What's your name?"
Although President Will wasn't worried that the other party would assassinate him, he wasn't so careless as to ask his bodyguards to retreat.
It was one thing not to worry about the other party's assassination, but it was another thing not to guard against the other party's assassination.
The former was his confidence as a president, while the latter was completely stupid!
"Maynz, Maynz van Lewinsky, please allow me to greet the president on behalf of the Hans people and my country!”
"Oh? Why are you greeting me? Don't you know that we're still enemies?”
President Will said as he stared at the other party with his sharp eyes, waiting for the other party's reaction.
Generally speaking, when the other party encountered such a soft rebuff, they would definitely panic. After all, the difference in status between the two parties was too great. A single sentence from him could put a huge pressure on the other party, and this kind of pressure would often make the other party feel suffocated!
However, to his disappointment, Major Maynz's expression was as calm as ever.
"The war has ended, and the hostile relationship has naturally ended. I don't think Germany and the United States will be enemies for a long time!”
"Oh? Why?"
President Will was very interested in the major's words. He was very interested to see how this young man would answer.
"Because our interests don't conflict. We even have common interests!”
Hearing this answer, President Will's eyes lit up!
The German major in front of him looked quite young, probably only in his early twenties, but his temperament did not look like a young man at all. He dared to come alone to see him, which was already an extraordinary courage. However, he was still neither humble nor overbearing in this place, which was enough to show that the other party was a talent with excellent psychological quality!
Just as President Will was sizing up Mayinz, Major Mayinz was also sizing up the ambitious President Hawkeye.
This 60-year-old president was the first president in the history of Yingjiang to have a Ph.D. and was also one of the top five presidents in the Yingjiang people's selection. In the future, people thought that he was an existence comparable to Lincoln. It was because of his international strategy that Yingjiang gradually replaced the traditional overlord, the Sun Never Sets Empire, and became the new global leader.
Facing such a wise existence, his plan had a chance of success!
