"I want to reach an agreement with your country and ask for your support!”
Major Mayinz said to President Hawkeye very frankly. His purpose for coming here was obvious. With his identity and nationality, it was easy for the other party to guess his purpose as long as they weren't idiots. In that case, it was better to be honest and frank. That way, it would give people a good impression of being open and aboveboard.
"Oh? Tell me, what do you want us to promise you?”
Will said with a smile. Obviously, he wasn't surprised by what Maynz said.
"I hope that your country can mediate and prevent the Gaul government from continuing to invade our country. Our country will not accept the fate of being dismembered!”
President Will raised his eyebrows. From the perspective of the other party, this request was naturally very reasonable. However, from the perspective of the victor, this might not be reasonable. At least, in the hearts of the Gauls, they would definitely not think that this was reasonable. In their opinion, Prussians had snatched Alsace and Lorraine from the hands of Gaul after the Franco-Prussian-Prussen War. Now that they had defeated the Second Empire, they naturally had to cut off a piece of meat from the Second Empire!
"Yes, is there anything else?"
President Will wasn't in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he planned to make an evaluation after understanding all of the other party's demands.
"The German army finds it unacceptable for the allied countries to request a trial of Marshal Hindeburg. This is not a matter of Marshal Hindeburg alone, but the request of the entire German army. Marshal Hindeburg is just like your generals and marshals, fighting for his own country. Such a person cannot be called a war criminal, because the casualties in the war were not his intention, and he did not deliberately kill civilians. So please don't go too far!”
These words were full of gunpowder, which made President Will feel the toughness of the other party. However, he felt a little uncomfortable with Major Maynz's words.
A defeated person actually dared to say such words to a victor. It was really a little out of line.
"Even if we support your idea, do you think you can convince the Sun Never Sets and Gaul?”
President Will looked at Mayinz with a serious expression and said to him.
The other party's words were hinting to Mayinz that it was not enough to just have a tough stance. They had to show enough strength.
Major Mayinz heaved a sigh of relief when he heard President Will's words. It seemed that the other party was really interested in the cooperation he proposed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given such a hint.
His words just now sounded very aggressive, but he had to say it, not only because he wanted to express the German army's and Hans's position, but also to test Ying-chan's reaction.
If they were really not aligned with Gaul and Sun Never Sets and were willing to cooperate with Hans, then Ying-chan would not be angry, because Maynz's words were not aimed at them, but at Britain and France.
If Ying-chan chose to collude with Gaul and Sun Never Sets, they would definitely be furious!
Now, it seemed that President Will's attitude was clear enough. They only represented Yingchan's own interests and had no intention of standing with Sun Never Sets and Chicken Law.
" Of course, we have no intention of becoming All Mouthy King. General Hindeburg currently controls approximately 1.2 million soldiers. The majority of these soldiers are experienced veterans who have fought on the Western Front. Moreover, they are a pitiful army that has just witnessed the invasion and destruction of their homeland. If the French are determined to capture General Hindeburg for trial, this army will have no choice but to take up arms to resist the invaders!”
Major General Maynz's tone was even more firm and unyielding than before.
But unlike before, President Will didn't get angry after hearing the other party's firm words. Instead, he smiled.
He heaved a sigh of relief and smiled."Alright, I understand what you mean and I can feel your determination. However, we are helping you for your own benefit. What can you give us?”
Hearing Will's words, Major Mayinz immediately perked up because he knew that what he was going to say next was the main point. Whether or not he could successfully convince President Will depended on what he was going to say next!
Major Maynz's words were very simple."Because we have a common enemy, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets!”
……
After leaving President Will's side, Major Mayinz did not immediately return to his residence. Instead, he went to the next residence, the residence of Prime Minister Lloyd George in the capital of the Sun Never Sets Empire, and asked to see the Prime Minister of the Sun Never Sets Empire.
But this time, things weren't as simple as asking to see Prime Minister Eagle-chan. Prime Minister Lloyd George had rejected his request to see him. He didn't want to have anything to do with the German representative in private.
This was not unexpected to Mayinz, because he knew that compared to the Hawkeye people, the Sun Never Sets people and Gaul were still true allies. The interests of the two countries were still highly consistent. Suppressing Hans, dividing Hans's colonies, and jointly suppressing the national independence movement of the colonies were the top priority for both Britain and France.
Before these matters were resolved, the relationship between Britain and France would only deepen and not split. Of course, if the situation in Europe suddenly changed, for example, if Gaul completely annexed Hans, then the people of Sun Never Sets, who were the troublemakers in Europe, would definitely not stand by and watch.
But before that, the relationship between Britain and France should be stable for a long time.
It was also because of the special relationship between the two countries that the people of Sun Never Sets were unwilling to offend Gaul over small matters. If they offended Gaul because they met Hans 'representative in private, it would not be worth it.
Major-General Mayinz didn't have a good solution to the attitude of the people of Sun Never Sets. He didn't have much hope of convincing them anyway.
So, after staying in Iron Tower City for a month, Major Main and his team officially left Iron Tower City on February 14, 1919 and set off for home.
However, before that, Major General Harrut received an order from Marshal Hindeburg to formally hand over the strict requirements of the German army to the desk of Marshal Foch, the commander-in-chief of the allied forces!
