After Brian finished talking with Crown Prince Hirohito and Kato Takaaki, it was already late at night. Although he was tired, his spirit was very excited. In order to win over other countries to form an anti-German alliance and jointly deal with Germany, he has tried his best.

Bryan knows that it will be very difficult to defeat Germany relying solely on the strength of the United States. Especially after Germany takes over its vast colonies, it can be expected that Germany's industrial strength will take off further. At that time, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult for the United States to confront Germany.

So, if the United States wants to defeat Germany, there is only one way. That is to cooperate with other countries. Try to pull other countries into the anti-German alliance. Only in this way can the United States have the possibility of victory.

The United States not only regards countries that have enemies with Germany as potential targets that can be wooed. Even other neutral countries, even Bue, which they regard as a devil, are also regarded by them as objects that can be wooed.

"Come on, invite Crown Prince Karl!" Brian ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Crown Prince Karl of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also the key target that Brian wants to win over. As the victorious country in this World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is still very powerful. Now their industrial strength is second only to the United States and Germany. The military strength is even stronger than that of the United States. Of course, the more important thing is that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has always been the No. 2 power of the Allies, and it is also a staunch ally of Germany. If Austria-Hungary abandoned Germany, it would be a huge blow to Germany's prestige.historical

What's more, the Austro-Hungarian Empire borders Germany. If a war breaks out, it can directly attack Germany's homeland. This will pose a greater threat to Germany.

Of course, Brian also knew that with the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, once war broke out, it would be impossible to defeat Germany. It is even impossible to resist the German attack. However, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire can hold out for a while, the army of the Anti-German League can attack Germany from other places. Even, directly borrowed the Austro-Hungarian Empire to go to war with Germany. By that time, even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire is smashed, it will not be a matter of the United States. Anyway, the war was not fought on American soil. In that case, on the contrary, it can relieve some opponents for the United States and ensure that the United States can become the world's hegemon after the war.

As for whether Crown Prince Karl will agree to cooperate, Brian is not worried at all. From what I learned from the United States, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite hostile to Germany. If it weren't for the fact that Franz Joseph I was still holding his breath, maybe he would have openly opposed Germany long ago. In this case, it can also fully explain that Crown Prince Karl is already their potential partner.

Crown Prince Karl was the focus of the banquet, and he is now young. Even though he is already married, as the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he is undoubtedly a one-night stand in the eyes of many ladies.

Although monogamy is practiced in European countries, it is normal for a man to have several lovers. Especially men with high status, they have lovers in groups.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency the Secretary of State would like to talk to you about something." The US ambassador to Germany whispered to Crown Prince Karl.

Crown Prince Karl nodded, and then he got out of the flowers and followed the US ambassador to Germany to the secret room.

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, to bother you!" Brian looked very humble.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, you are too polite." Crown Prince Karl said with a smile.

Although Crown Prince Karl is a bit arrogant, he also thinks about many problems very simply. However, he is definitely not a fool. Even Crown Prince Karl has always had a strong sense of crisis. Otherwise, he would not have always hated Germany.

Austro-Hungary is the subject of the Austrian Empire, and the Austrians are as much Germanic as the Germans. Even the language is the same. This made Crown Prince Karl always worried that after Germany became stronger, it would annex the Austrian Empire, and even swallow the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire. In this case, the rule of the Habsburg dynasty may come to an end. This has always been what Crown Prince Karl tried his best to avoid. He didn't want to be a king of subjugation.

Crown Prince Karl also knows very well that it is difficult to confront Germany with the power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire alone. They need more allies. Only in this way can Germany be defeated. The United States on the other side of the ocean is undoubtedly a very powerful country. Although the overall national strength is not as good as Germany, it is definitely stronger than the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Crown Prince Karl is already thinking about how to get on line with the United States. It's just that before he really became the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, some of his names were not justified.

This time, Brian held a banquet, and he immediately decided to attend. The reason, of course, is to take advantage of this opportunity to contact the Americans.

Unexpectedly, the Americans also had the same idea. This made Crown Prince Karl feel like the two hit it off.

"His Royal Highness, what do you think of Germany's military parade and ship review this time?" Bryan asked.

Crown Prince Karl raised his eyebrows, and then said: "The Germans have fully demonstrated their strong military strength. I have to admit that the German military strength is indeed very strong. At least, compared with it, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is far away. Far worse! Even, I don’t have the courage to confront Germany anymore.”

"His Royal Highness is joking. The Austro-Hungarian Empire is a staunch ally of Germany. The two countries will only cooperate all the time. How can you confront? That is simply impossible!" Brian said with a smile.

Crown Prince Karl glanced at Bryan, then shook his head: "Yes, Austria-Hungary and Germany are now allies. However, the ambitions of the Germans are endless. As their strength becomes stronger, they will Can we tolerate another big country around us? That is almost impossible. Therefore, we have to prepare early. Otherwise, the only way to wait for the Austro-Hungarian Empire is to perish!"

Brian nodded, he knew what Crown Prince Karl said was true. After all, if it were the United States, it would not allow a big country to appear around it. This is why the United States has been sparing no effort to suppress Mexico. Almost all the territories in the western United States were snatched from Mexico. Once Mexico becomes stronger, no one can guarantee whether they will find the Americans to find their way back.
