Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

A diplomat's dignity lies in the motherland behind him. Now that Germany has swept across Europe, even the former world hegemon, the British Empire, has been trampled under its feet. As a German diplomat, he naturally speaks very tough words.

After laughing a few times, Andreas's face suddenly turned cold. "It seems that your country has been ready for war for a long time?! Since you want war so much, then let's give you war! From now on, our two countries have entered a state of war!!" After leaving these words, Ander Yas stood up and left under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"!!" Roosevelt stared blankly at Andreas who walked out of the office without looking back, unable to react for a moment.

Roosevelt's think tank previously analyzed that Germany's next target is the Soviet Union, which is what the United States hopes to see. After all, it is in the best interests of the United States to sit back and watch the tigers fight. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured; the remaining one will not be in danger. When the time comes, the United States will pick up the shotgun and make a brilliant debut, and it will be a joy to reap the final fruits.

Roosevelt also believed that the Germans would not dare to offend the United States before this, otherwise they would have to face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. Unexpectedly, the German ambassador did not follow common sense and regarded a few threats as a declaration of war. ? Did you accept the challenge without hesitation? !

Naturally, an ambassador does not have this right, but before arriving at the White House, Andreas received a secret message from His Highness, telling him that if Roosevelt dared to threaten war, he should immediately respond without giving him a chance to regret or explain. Back at the embassy, ​​Andreas immediately informed the country of the situation, and then ordered his secretary to burn all documents.

Time in London, England, is five hours ahead of Washington, the United States. At this time, Yannick was having dinner with a group of British senior officials at Buckingham Palace. Anne hurried in and reported in a low-pitched voice. "Your Highness, just now, President Roosevelt of the United States declared war on our country!"

"What!" There was an uproar at the table. Deputy Prime Minister Clement almost choked after taking a sip of soup. He hurriedly picked up a napkin and wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth, while the others looked at him in shock. Anne reported.

Deputy Prime Minister Clement couldn't help but curse in his heart, "You're crazy!" If you had to declare war earlier, the British Empire would not be in this situation even a few months earlier! But he declared war only after Britain surrendered? ! Are these guys showing off their brains? !

But when I thought about it, Deputy Prime Minister Clement couldn't help but feel a little strange. If the United States wants to declare war, it has to wait until the foreign exchange in the treasury is converted into euros before declaring war? Now that war has been declared, it’s strange that Germany can exchange it for you. Wouldn’t all the foreign exchange from European countries in the U.S. treasury become waste paper? Americans should not be heartbroken to death?

Could it be that Roosevelt was confused?

Yannick cut his steak without changing his expression and said. "Oh? It seems that President Roosevelt has finally lost his patience? Mr. Clement, what do you think?"

Deputy Prime Minister Clement was speechless. What else could he think? Is it possible to say that the United States will definitely defeat Germany and save Britain from being in dire straits? Wouldn't that be courting death? But if it is said that Germany will definitely defeat the United States and conquer the Americas, it seems to be suspected of being flattering. "Your Highness, I have to say that the United States is a formidable enemy that cannot be underestimated."

Just looking at the United States during the last war, we know how terrible this country's war potential is.

As early as World War I, the U.S. economy ranked first in the world. In 1913, the total economic volume of the United States was approximately $39 billion, which was greater than that of Germany and the United Kingdom combined at that time.

In terms of industrial scale, the United States' industrial output accounts for 38% of the world's total, which is more than the United Kingdom, France, and Germany combined. In terms of the level of industrialization, assuming that the level of Britain in 1900 was 100, the industrial level of the United States was 126 and that of Germany was 85. In terms of industrial output, the United States is far ahead of other countries. Take steel as an example. In 1913, the steel output of the United States was 31.8 million tons, while Germany's was 17.6 million tons. The United States is well-deserved as the world's largest industrial power.

The most terrifying thing is that relying on its strong industrial and economic foundation, abundant resources, and huge high-quality population, the United States contains amazing war potential.

Although the U.S. Army is relatively weak, the U.S. Navy ranks among the best in the world, and has a huge reserve of personnel and weapons. It has huge military production capacity potential. When the United States was involved in the war in 1917, it quickly exploded with amazing war potential. In just one or two years, the U.S. military soared from 1.32 million to 4.8 million, of which 2 million crossed the ocean and went to the European battlefield, where they played a decisive role.

During the entire war, the United States supplied the Allied Powers with US$10.5 billion in supplies and US$10 billion in loans, effectively supporting the Allied Powers' operations. Since Britain and France received sufficient supplies from the United States, they became stronger as they fought. Germany was short of resources. Although its military was strong, it could not withstand long-term consumption. By the end of the war, it was on the verge of collapse. If the United States had not entered the war, Germany might not have lost the war.

Naturally, Yannick also knew the war potential of the United States, which was quite fearful at least a few months ago. But now it’s completely different! The British mainland has been captured by Germany, and the United States has lost the bridgehead to counterattack Europe. Let the United States directly cross the Atlantic Ocean. Come over and try?

"The United States is indeed a strong opponent. I quite agree with this. Unfortunately, they have lost their best opportunity to participate in the war." If the United States entered the war when Britain had not yet fallen, it would be hard to say how the war would end.

Of course, Deputy Prime Minister Clement also knew the meaning of Yannick's words, and he cursed the stupid Yankee again in his heart.

Yannick asked Anne. "How's it going with Dr. Goebbels?"

"In ten minutes at most, all of Europe will know that the United States has declared war on us."

Yannick nodded with satisfaction and gave an order. "Seize all American companies in Europe and freeze all assets." As mentioned earlier, Yannick deliberately lowered tariffs on American merchants, accompanied by various preferential policies. There are hundreds of American companies, large and small, in Germany. There are many kinds of real estate assets, and there are countless working capitals.

"yes!"

After Anne left, Yannick smiled and raised his glass to signal. "Everyone, cheers to President Roosevelt's generosity. He has contributed hundreds of billions of dollars to the European economy." France's 1,800 tons of gold is only more than 2 billion U.S. dollars, which is simply a caterpillar compared with the hundreds of billions of foreign exchange.

By declaring war like this, they can deny their largest source of foreign exchange. Perhaps in later generations, exchanges will be carried out relying on advanced networks and various channels. Unfortunately, there are no such advanced means now, and large exchanges exceeding a certain amount can only be carried out by the state.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a certain chill in their hearts. Could this be all part of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's plan?
