If some railway hubs are destroyed, the British will not be able to maneuver on a large scale. After all, the British defended front line has exceeded 200 kilometers. You should consider the depth of the position and the rear facilities. The British army with more than 1.6 million want to rely on the road, but only 100,000 cars and soldiers' 11th routes to maneuver on a large scale? What are you thinking? Go dreaming!

Therefore, the prince now adds this condition not just to punish the French, but to do so it does have great military significance. It can make the British die more simply! The Germans die less! And is the political significance? That is, if two wars still break out in the future, the British will never believe the French!

"What if the French still disagree?" Taft said.

"The French cannot disagree. They will never see our soldiers entering Paris again!" Ruprecht said firmly: "I am sure to get the French to agree, provided that your country can cooperate with us and do not send any wrong signals to the French."

"Of course, we understand your country's concerns, so we can give the French more relaxed time. When we attack, as long as the French make way for the passage as scheduled and cut off the British railway supplies, we can stop the attack at any time! Even if we reach the outskirts of Paris, as long as the French are willing at that time, we can give up the attack. Of course, if we go further, it will be too late!" said Ruprecht.

"Since your country has such a huge advantage, why can't you directly attack the British? If you defeat the British, the French will naturally surrender." Taft said.

"You are very clear about this reason. If we attack Britain and the French are forced to surrender, then in more than ten years, Britain and France may still form an alliance again, and the French still have a chance to fight against Germany. But if the French are covered in blood from the British Expeditionary Force, then the alliance between Britain and France will become impossible. And to be honest, I think that a huge victory can allow a generation of French people to live in the shadow of the empire! This is the core interest of the empire and cannot be negotiated." Ruprecht said firmly.

"Well, what if you fail?" Taft said. "For example, if the British and French forces joined forces to block your country's attack, then how are you going to end."

"It's very simple. Then I will hand over my command of the Western Front Corps, and it's not me who negotiated with you. My next person will come to discuss these issues with your country." Ruprecht paused and continued: "I have proposed my final solution, so good. Now, as long as I'm here for a day, the plan will not change, and I will take responsibility if it fails. But this is not something you can manage."

"We have respected your country's suggestions on tolerance of France and have given quite relaxed time limits. So you should cooperate with us to do this, rather than make things difficult for all kinds of difficulties. This is our last opinion. You can report this opinion to President Roosevelt. Then he will decide whether the two sides will cooperate." Ruprecht reiterated that his decision is irreversible.

"Well, I will report this question to President Roosevelt. Then there is another point, what is the standard for your country to hit Britain so hard? To fully annihilate the British Expeditionary Force? Is there anything else?" Taft asked.

"If the British were willing to agree to our conditions, withdraw British influence from Persia, give up the entire British Southern Africa, and guarantee not to interfere in European affairs, then we can consider negotiating with the British," said Ruprecht.

"I'm afraid this won't work. We just hit the British army hard. Their navy is still strong and may be unfavorable to the United States and the German Empire at any time. If the British suddenly intervene when the navies of our two countries are fighting against the Japanese in the Pacific, it may cause disastrous consequences." General Benson said.

"So, your country means to let the high seas fleet and the large fleet fight a decisive battle?" Ruprecht asked. "I can tell you very clearly that although I have this idea and plan, I am not sure. In fact, after severely attacking the British Expeditionary Force, we can end the war, and severely attacking the Royal Navy is an additional question for us. The quality of the results has little to do with the German Empire, but it has a lot to do with your country."

Ruprecht did plan to have a settlement with the Royal Navy in the North Sea and was indeed preparing, but this was obviously a key point to get points. If the Americans were not knocked on, the prince would be unwilling to accept it. He must now make the Americans think that as long as Germany wins on land, it can achieve its goals. There is no need to launch another large-scale naval war that is not very sure. Only in this way can the crown prince take the initiative in the entire negotiation!

"With such a large-scale battle, no matter who wins, both sides will pay an extremely heavy price. The assets of the Imperial Navy and the lives of the naval officers and soldiers cannot be consumed in vain. If we fight, we will pay decades of hard work of the Imperial Navy, and if the high seas fleet suffers too much, it will be very unfavorable for your country's next actions. This issue must be discussed in the long run." Ruprecht said.

"But if the Royal Navy is not severely damaged, can your country guarantee that Britain will not interfere in the Far East?" Taft said.

"In fact, there is a way to solve this problem once and for all. If your country participates in the war at this time, your country will not have to worry about the army. At sea, we can join forces to celebrate our victory at Buckingham Palace in the UK, and your country has not chosen to do so. You know why and we also know about some of these problems."

"From this perspective, we have fully taken care of your country's concerns. If France surrenders, we will not occupy an inch of France's land in Europe, and we will not land on the main island of Britain. We did not even play the most dazzling gem in the British crown - India. We have completely followed the previous agreement with your country, and Britain is still a big country."

"After the war, we can help your country get back the colonies that were originally transferred to you by the empire, and it is possible that your country has a colony in the original Dutch East India. The empire will not retain any military presence in the Far East. We have shown twelve points of sincerity, and your country's attitude is very unfriendly."
