Iron Germany

"His Royal Highness, you should be clear. The relationship between the United States of America and Germany is also very tense. It can even be said that there is only one step away from the outbreak of war. Therefore, I think that the relationship between the United States of America and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is We can cooperate. After all, we have a common enemy." Brian said.

Crown Prince Karl nodded: "Yes, Your Excellency, Secretary of State. Germany is our common enemy. As long as Germany continues to exist, or even becomes stronger, it will not do us any good."

The Americans offered to cooperate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Crown Prince Karl was naturally 10,000 willing. At the same time, he is also considering what kind of demands he should make to the Americans if he wants to cooperate with them. After all, Americans are notoriously rich.

"Your Highness, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire is willing, we can form an alliance with other countries that have the will to oppose Germany to form an anti-German alliance. In this way, we can unite and deal with Germany together. If many countries unite, defeat The possibility of Germany will undoubtedly be very high!" Bryan said.

"The anti-German alliance? Is it the same as the anti-French alliance a hundred years ago? This is a good idea. Which countries are willing to participate?" Crown Prince Karl asked.

Crown Prince Karl also believes that dealing with Germany is definitely not something that a certain country can do. It takes everyone to unite together. Only in this way can success be possible.

"His Royal Highness, besides the United States of America and the British Empire, the countries that have clearly joined the anti-French alliance are island countries. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire can join in, our strength will be even stronger. The possibility of defeating Germany Sex, it's going to be bigger," Bryan said. He undoubtedly hoped that the Austro-Hungarian Empire would join in.

"The United States is the second most powerful country in the world after Germany. Although the British Empire has lost its homeland and is about to lose most of its colonies, the foundation still exists. Although the island country has just been defeated by Germany, it is also a powerful country. These powerful countries united, It is enough to confront Germany. The Austro-Hungarian Empire is also willing to join it. However, your Excellency should be very clear that although I am the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But such a major event is obviously not something that I can decide alone. Moreover, I can almost Certainly, the important ministers of the empire will definitely object." Crown Prince Karl said with some helplessness.

Brian nodded: "His Royal Highness, I can understand. After all, the Austrian Emperor is still alive. The Austrian Empire is still in the hands of the Austrian Emperor. However, I believe that His Highness should not be able to ascend the throne for long."

Crown Prince Karl didn't say much, he was naturally looking forward to becoming emperor as soon as possible. However, the prerequisite is the death of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. Looking forward to the death of the emperor of one's own country, I'm afraid it's not good.

"His Royal Highness, if you ascend the throne and become emperor, the Austro-Hungarian Empire should be able to join the anti-German alliance?" Bryan asked.

Crown Prince Karl showed a bit of embarrassment on his face: "The Austro-Hungarian Empire is next to Germany. If we join the anti-German alliance, we will definitely be hit by them with all their strength. It may even detonate a war. In that case, it will be quite disadvantageous to us! "

In the final analysis, Crown Prince Karl still didn't have the courage to really tear himself apart with Germany. He knew very well that Germany's military power was too strong, and it was impossible for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to resist the German attack. Therefore, if you openly tear your face with Germany, it is no different from courting death.

"Your Highness, once Germany really dares to use force against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, other countries in the Anti-German Alliance will definitely support you. We will not only attack Germany in other places, but also send reinforcements to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the case of Austria-Hungary Although there is a certain gap in the strength of the empire compared with Germany. However, it should not be a big problem to resist for a period of time. By then, our reinforcements have entered the Austro-Hungarian Empire. With the strength of the anti-German alliance, There's absolutely no problem beating Germany!" Bryan said.

Crown Prince Karl is not a fool. He knows that once they really go to war with Germany, these countries may indeed declare war on Germany. However, the place where they attack will definitely not be the mainland of Germany, but the colonies of Germany. They can be said to covet the German colonies. At that time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will hold back the main force of Germany, but they will take advantage of it behind. Wouldn't that make the Austro-Hungarian Empire a fool? Such a thing, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would not do it.

What's more, once the war is carried out on the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will pay a heavy price for it. Crown Prince Karl is not that stupid, he is willing to watch his country be shattered into scorched earth.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is still too weak compared to Germany. If our military strength can be further strengthened, then we have the strength to fight against Germany!" Crown Prince Karl said.

Brian is not a fool either, he knows that Crown Prince Karl is taking this opportunity to raise conditions. This was what he expected. If Crown Prince Karl doesn't mention conditions, it will make him feel strange. Because that's really unreasonable.

"His Royal Highness, if there is anything the United States of America can help with, just ask. For your allies, the United States of America will always do its best to help!" Bryan said.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, let me be straightforward. Since Germany's military power is too strong, we need a loan to develop our military power!" Crown Prince Karl said.

Brian breathed a sigh of relief. Crown Prince Karl would ask for a loan, which did not surprise him.

Although, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also gained a lot of benefits in this war. From the Italians, a sum of war reparations was obtained. However, because of the suppression by Germany, that loan was not even enough to make up for the losses of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the war, let alone use war reparations to develop military power. Not to mention, the Balkans acquired by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in this war and the Italian colonies in East Africa have always faced endless resistance from the locals, which made the Austro-Hungarian Empire devote a lot of energy. In addition, the domestic contradictions in the Austro-Hungarian Empire have become more and more acute, and these require money. This has made the Austro-Hungarian Empire's finances beyond its means, let alone the development of its military power. Without external support, the military power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will only become weaker and weaker.
