"It would indeed be great if we could reach an agreement with the Third Reich and end this war through peaceful negotiations. This can at least prevent our country from being ravaged by war and prevent our people from dying in the war."Prime Minister Cordell Hull also said

"Yes, we are completely at a disadvantage in this war. If we continue to fight, it is unlikely that we will win, and it will only cause us to pay greater losses in vain. Rather than doing this, it is better to seek peace and forget it." Interior Secretary Harold Ickes also said

"As long as the conditions of the Third Reich are not too excessive, we can accept them. This is better than our country being reduced to rubble. Commerce Minister Jesse Jones also said.

Obviously, many high-level officials in the cabinet are inclined to sue for peace with the Third Reich.

In their view, since the war is impossible to win, instead of continuing to fight, let the entire If the Eagle Country has to pay greater losses and costs, it is better to find a way to end the war through peaceful negotiations.

In this case, perhaps the price paid will be smaller.

And the military leaders of the Eagle Country , their faces were not very good-looking.

Obviously, they were despised. In other words, they were mistrusted by everyone.

It was precisely because of everyone’s distrust of the military’s capabilities that they tended to seek peace with the Third Reich.

"Even if you want to sue for peace from the Third Reich, you have to agree to it! What if the Third Reich didn't accept it?" retorted General George Marshall.

"If the war continues, it will certainly be a disaster for us. But similarly, if the Third Reich wants to win the final victory, it will inevitably pay an extremely heavy price. Under such circumstances, the Third Reich should not refuse peace talks with us. After all, this would save them a lot of losses."Prime Minister Cordelhel said

"However, the conditions proposed by the Third Reich may be very harsh. It is very likely that they will not allow us to develop the army anymore. In other words, limit our military power."General of War Henry Stinson reminded

"If limiting our military power satisfies the Third Reich, then so be it. We can't defeat the Third Reich anyway. Investing more resources and funds in the military is also a waste. Instead of doing this, it is better to focus on developing the economy, improving people's livelihood, and raising people's living standards. In this case, we may also gain more public support. Our country will also be richer!" said Chief Jesse Jones.

"What? How can we give up developing military power? In that case, wouldn't it mean that we would be at the mercy of the Third Reich?"Navy Chief Frank Knox was very angry.

"If the war continues, we will be defeated by the Third Reich and left to their mercy. In that case, we will pay a higher price!" said Harold Ickes

"Okay, no need to argue anymore. Peace talks with the Third Reich were indeed an option. However, even if we want to negotiate peace, we must ensure our interests as much as possible. If the Third Reich accepts it, then we can pay a certain price and end this war. If the Third Reich does not accept it, then we must be prepared to fight to the death. Even if we lose this war in the end, it won't make things easier for the Third Reich!" Franklin said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Other high-level officials from Yingjiang Country responded one after another.

Since Franklin had already put forward specific requirements, they naturally had no other opinions.

"Your Excellency, what bottom line must we stick to during peace talks with the Third Reich? Hopkins asked.

Franklin thought for a moment and then said:"First, our territorial integrity must be respected." The Third Reich cannot make us cede territory. Overseas colonies can be abandoned. However, our homeland must not be thrown away."

The other senior officials nodded repeatedly.

The Yingjiang Country has a vast territory, rich resources, and a large population.

It is known as the chosen country.

This is also the guarantee that the Yingjiang Country can rise and become a world power. If the local territory is lost, , or even dismembered by the Third Reich. Then, the Eagle Sauce Country will have no future at all.

At this point, the Eagle Sauce Country will never give in.

"Second, our military power cannot be limited. We can promise not to develop military power in the next ten years. The Army, Navy and Army Air Forces all remained at their pre-war size. Or rather, on a smaller scale. However, ten years later, Eagle Country will independently develop its military power. After all, we are not a defeated country, but a normal country, and we should not be restricted in this regard!"

President Franklin went on to say

"Your Excellency, the Third Reich may not accept this easily." said Hopkins.

"If the Third Reich accepted it, we could disband the Army and Army Air Forces and the Navy. The army retains only two hundred thousand men. The Army Air Corps retains only a thousand combat aircraft. The Navy will no longer seek to build capital ships and aircraft carriers within ten years."Franklin said.

Hopkins nodded:"If this is the case, the Third Reich may accept it."

"Beyond that, we can make concessions on war reparations. A large war reparations payment was made to the Third Reich. Of course, we will do our best to satisfy them. But equally, they shouldn't think about the lion opening its mouth." Franklin said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Hopkins nodded.

He knew very well that the Third Reich would have a huge appetite for war reparations. But if a war reparations could be paid, the Eagle Country would be able to fully recover from this war. Retreating would undoubtedly be the best thing.

No matter how much war compensation is paid, it will not be more than the losses caused during the war. More importantly, the Eagle Country can avoid the entire country being destroyed in the war. It can prevent a large number of young people from dying in the war.

Even if it is temporary humiliation and humiliation, it is acceptable.

At least, the Eagle Country can rise again in ten years.

Perhaps by then, the Third Reich will be even more powerful. However, it is also possible for the Eagle Country to rise again. Once it is completely defeated in this war and then dismembered by the Third Reich, the Eagle Country will no longer have any hope of rising.
