"His Royal Highness, the United States of America can provide a low-interest loan of 100 million US dollars to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. What do you think of it?" Bryan asked.

"100 million dollars?" Crown Prince Karl burst into ecstasy. 100 million US dollars is already equivalent to 400 million marks. If it is used to build battleships, several new battleships can be built. Of course, Crown Prince Karl's appetite is more than that.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, a loan of 100 million dollars is too little, right? As far as I know, the loans you have provided to island countries are definitely more than that. You must know that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is at the forefront of confrontation with Germany. Once we join the anti-German coalition, it means that we will tear ourselves apart from Germany. Without a strong military force as a guarantee, our security cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, we have more money for military Construction. We not only need to build a strong army, but also a strong navy! said Crown Prince Karl. It's hard to come across a **** of wealth like the United States. If you don't want to get more benefits from the Americans, it will be a failure. What's more, the Americans are rich and powerful, and it is only natural to get more benefits from them.

Besides, don't the Americans want the Austro-Hungarian Empire to serve as their bridgehead against Germany? Then naturally enough price needs to be paid for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to see real benefits. Otherwise, the people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were not fools, so how could they do it?

"Okay, Your Royal Highness. I will discuss it with His Excellency the President. However, I personally think that there should be no big problem in providing a loan of 200 million U.S. dollars to the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Bryan said.

"Two hundred million dollars?" Although, this is not a small amount. However, Crown Prince Karl still felt that it was not enough.

"His Royal Highness, this is just the first batch. Once the Austro-Hungarian Empire officially joins the Anti-German Coalition, I guarantee that there will be follow-up loans!" Brian said. He also felt that Crown Prince Karl's appetite seemed to be very big!

Crown Prince Karl nodded, and he also knew that it would be very difficult to get a white wolf empty-handed. If the Americans are not allowed to see their sincerity, the Americans will not continue to invest.

"Even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire joined the Anti-German Coalition, I think the power of the Anti-German Coalition is too weak. After all, in the whole of Europe, Germany is too strong. It is so strong that other countries dare not confront Germany at all! "Crown Prince Karl said.

Brian nodded: "So I think the scale of the anti-German alliance needs to be further expanded. For example, we can invite France and Italy to join in. They have suffered a lot in this war. If Germany can be defeated , then their losses in this war can be made up for.

Crown Prince Karl nodded. Although he believes that the current strength of France and Italy has been seriously damaged, even if he joins the anti-German alliance, it will not be of much help. However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat! With the participation of these two countries, the pressure of the Austro-Hungarian Empire can be shared to some extent, and they will not be left to fight alone.

"In addition, we will try to win over the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire has fallen, its strength is not bad, and it can arm millions or more troops." Bryan said.

"The Ottoman Turkish Empire is not a weak country. However, it is hard to say whether their sultan has the courage." Crown Prince Karl said disdainfully.

You know, the relationship between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire is not very good, and they have even remained hostile. The Balkan Peninsula has always been the sphere of influence of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but after the rise of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it began to constantly challenge things. Now, with the help of the victory in the war, almost the entire Balkan Peninsula has to be captured. It is true that the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is much stronger than that of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but Crown Prince Karl is also worried that the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire will develop as a result.

"As long as there are enough interests, I believe the Ottoman Turkish Empire will also join in." Brian said.

Crown Prince Karl shrugged and didn't say much. He knew that even if an anti-German alliance was established, the United States would still lead the alliance. There is no need to offend them in order to get more loans from the US.

"Besides, if Buer is willing to join in, we can also support them." Brian continued.

"Buer?" Crown Prince Karl frowned tightly. Although he is not very clear about Bu'er's strength. However, during the World War, the Austro-Hungarian army was beaten all over the place by the Russians. If it hadn't been for the German army to lend a helping hand in time, they might have been defeated. This made Crown Prince Karl remain vigilant about Bu Russia, for fear that Bu Russia would develop.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness. Bu Russia is also the target of our struggle. Although their social form is different from ours, they should be the same as us in dealing with Germany. In the last war, they also It was blackmailed by the Germans. If there is a chance to regain the lost benefits, I don't think Buer will refuse." Bryan said.

"However, Your Excellency, Secretary of State, once Russia becomes stronger, it will probably be a disaster for the entire capitalist world!" Crown Prince Karl reminded.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry at all. We and Bu Russia are just using each other. After we defeat Germany, it's time to solve Bu Russia. No matter how strong Bu Russia is, can it be stronger than Germany? Even Germany is not our opponent, let alone Bu Russia. At that time, we can easily get rid of Bu Russia! The world is still in our hands." Brian said.

Crown Prince Karl nodded, he understood the wishful thinking of the Americans. With the help of Bu Russia to weaken Germany, they will benefit from it. However, I am afraid that other countries in the anti-German alliance are also pawns in the hands of the Americans, right? Including the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is nothing more than cannon fodder for the Americans.

However, Crown Prince Karl also knew that if they did not accept the help of the Americans, they would be helpless under the attack of the Germans. Only with support from the Americans can they fight back. Therefore, American help is indispensable. The two parties are completely in a relationship of mutual use.
