Chapter Twenty-Six: Strong
The United States has money, a lot of money, but it can't be spent without a plan, the first batch of warships is in a hurry, then the next batch needs to be planned, and at the same time, the expansion of the army needs to spend more money, and both sides cannot be less, because according to Wesley's idea, the United States will inevitably enter the war, although it will not get much benefit, but to ensure that it can get money after the war, and now sell things on both sides, and then get the money back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Britain and France must not lose, but weakening Britain and France must be done, Wesley's words have been verified, then there is nothing wrong with sitting like this, Mr. President is very happy, the economy has grown rapidly after the expansion of the army, and at the same time, the orders of Britain and France have also come, and the next re-election is certain.
Jurdian came to the U.S. Legation, but he didn't see Reyns, he could only wait here, and drank several cups of coffee, and then waited for Reyns, who was full of spring breeze.
"Mr. Reyns, what does it mean that America sits like this?" Zhu Erdian asked directly.
"Mr. Zhu Erdian, does the United States need the consent of Britain to do anything?" Reynes's sudden strength caught Juerdian off guard, he didn't expect it, of course, he was also used to being strong, after all, Britain has always been the world leader.
Zhu Erdian breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he couldn't make a fuss now, "Of course not, but after all, such a big thing is easy to cause misunderstanding." ”
"Please rest assured, the United States has no intention of intervening in the current war in Europe, but the Germans want to surrender their arms to neutral countries. Island, it is in the interest of the United States to complete the peaceful handover and maintain stability and peace here. "Reyns had wanted to say that for a long time.
When Zhu Erdian heard this, he was angry again, this is what he often said, 'in the interests of the British Empire', and now it is being said.
"Is the U.S. really going to do that?" Zhu Erdian asked again.
"Yes, William this time. Admiral Benson personally commanded the fleet to come, all of which were cutting-edge main warships, and he had a deeper understanding of the Navy of the United States. Island, more for some training, when the time comes, leave a detachment behind, and the other ships will return, but that will be after receiving the German Pacific islands. ”
Zhu Erdian's face changed constantly, and finally turned black, as if he had been poisoned, "Very good, I will inform you of your behavior in China." ”
"Of course, now that our two countries trade very frequently, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation again." Renes said with a smile. Zhu Erdian got up and left directly, he didn't bother to say a kind word, he was going to see the little man now, after all, this matter was beyond his authority, and at the same time, he was also very light, Britain would not go for the sake of Japan. Ben and the United States tear their faces.
"Your Excellency, I don't know what the Americans mean?" Day. Minister Ri Zhiyi asked.
"Alas, they made an agreement with the Germans, and the Germans disarmed like the neutral United States." Zhu Erdian said.
"What? How can this be? Your Excellency, this matter has nothing to do with the Americans, how can they do this? Rizhiyi roared sadly and indignantly, he could only be sad and indignant, although the United States is not strong in military strength, but a big white fleet scared them enough. They don't dare to be as strong as Yuan Datou, after all, the United States is one of the Western powers, although it was not strong in the past, but now it seems to be very strong!
The United States has two fleets, the Atlantic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, which are the main forces of the United States, and it is definitely the Pacific Fleet that is dispatched now, and the Atlantic Fleet will not move, otherwise it will directly lose its territorial defense capability, and even if there is no danger, no country will do this.
Thirty-two large and small warships, as well as dozens of cargo ships and oil tankers, this is all the news that Rizhiyi has gotten now, and the specifics are not clear, after all, there is no too specific news from Shanghai. But the tonnage is very large, and this information is still known, how big is it? Rizhiyi didn't look sad and angry on his face, but he kept thinking about the strength of his country's fleet and this fleet.
"Don't get your hopes up, the British Empire will not tear up its face with the United States at this time." Zhu Erdian said directly.
"Your Excellency, is this the end of the matter?" Hizaki asked in disbelief.
"And what do you want?" Zhu Erdian looked at the other party and asked, Rizhiyi is dumbfounded, what can he do? And the United States? Britain will not have troops to help them now, so will they be able to defeat the United States? For the United States, now they do not know what to do at all, after all, a large fleet suddenly appeared, and the United States suddenly became mysterious.
Countries are not very concerned about the United States, especially in terms of military strength, because the United States is notoriously soft, and the navy's big white fleet is famous, but it is also outdated, and the construction speed of new warships is not fast, but why did a fleet suddenly appear? Is it so fast to build a warship? Zhu Erdian also summed it up again.
"Don't know what their fleet looks like?" Rizhiyi retreated to the next best thing.
"I don't know, the fleet didn't dock in Shanghai again, just walked around and left, this is a demonstration to us, waiting for them to take over the Qing. After the island, I'll go back and see what kind of cutting-edge battleship they are. Zhu Erdian slapped the table, turned around and left, and sent a message to China.
Ri Zhiyi couldn't sit still, he also went back to send the message, and then things went well, everyone was very careful about the sudden appearance of the American fleet, and the American fleet received the green without hindrance. Island.
Whoever the Germans surrendered to, it was the same, as long as it wasn't a belligerent, Wilhelm. Benson and German Green. The Governor of the island, Admiral Melvadik, carried out the handover.
"Is General Benson going to be the governor here?" Melvadik asked after the handover.
"Of course not, this time I came out mainly to train the boys of the navy, our new warship still needs a lot of training to run in, this is just ocean-going training." William. "Rest assured," said Benson, "that in times of war, you can be at home. The island is safe to live, I heard that your warship here has rushed out? ”
"Yes General, we can't go back, but warships can go out and fight."
"Well, yes, this is like a soldier." William. Benson nodded approvingly, "In addition, you will keep your property, but in order to prevent accidents, they can't go out. Island. ”
"Of course, but does the United States intend to join the war?"
"This is not something that our soldiers can know, we can only obey orders, but not in the short term, how? You're also a navy, go see our warships and give some advice. ”
"It is my pleasure, Your Excellency."
