Chapter 228: This Is Defeated?
The so-called step by step, step by step, Roosevelt finally failed to immediately set foot on the ship to Germany, Vice Admiral Simpson only said some angry words, in fact, how can a deputy secretary of the Admiralty want to go abroad so quickly? Just as Roosevelt rushed back to Washington overnight, the results of the Battle of the Sea of Sulu were finally revealed, and the news that the British had helped Japan establish radio contact was also revealed! The former was shaken out by the Japanese themselves, and the latter was shaken out by the Germans with the help of the Americans!
The Japanese government was ready for the Americans to PK, and when they learned that their troops in Manila Bay had been beaten by the Americans and almost completely wiped out, they directly declared war on the United States.
And then when he learned that the United States and Japan had declared war, there was a telegram behind this telegram, that is, the news that the US Navy had been almost completely annihilated by the Japanese in the Sulu Sea!
"It can't be!" Like Roosevelt, when the vast majority of people in the United States got this war report, their first reaction was not to believe it! How could the United States of America be beaten like this by a tiny Japan?
The glorious navy of the United States of America was at odds with the British. (Well, the Americans would never mention that the Great Lakes naval base was set on fire.) )
In those years, the U.S. Navy knocked on the door of Japan with a detachment of a squadron, and the Japanese were all bloodied by the Germans in three dozen or one. Back then, Japan was extremely entangled in fighting the Beiyang Fleet with the support of the British, why didn't it see it for three years and directly overturned the US and Russian fleets? This is not scientific! We're white!
But then, the intelligence sent from other sources made the arrogant Yankee have to admit that the US Navy was indeed defeated, and the Americans still had too young, too simple Tucson to break ah. So now the question is, since it has been defeated, then it is necessary to know the situation of both sides now, and why they will be defeated. As for what to do in the future, that's a matter for later.
"If the Germans' intelligence is correct, then the Japanese can return to the battlefield after a short period of repair except for the loss of one Kasuga, especially the 4 terrible German-made cruisers, which are almost rubbing off a little paint!" An Admiralty officer replied.
"Remember, we will downplay the German-made cruisers in the future, and the caliber of external propaganda must emphasize that it was the battleship that the British helped the Japanese buy, do you understand? The Germans are just doing business, while the British have a clear purpose, and the British are our enemies! Don't let the people and the people below misunderstand! Before Roosevelt could speak, Day, the new secretary of state on the side, said very seriously.
"What do you mean by that?" When only Roosevelt and Day were left in the room, Roosevelt said.
"What do you mean? The country needs an explanation, the people need an explanation, the Bavarian one also needs a statement from us, you tell me, what should I do? "Day's bowels are blue with regret now.
"The British helped the Japanese to buy warships and provide resources, and half of the credit for our defeat goes to the British, who are our enemies! Am I wrong to say that? "And that's what the president and the leaders of the parties in Parliament mean, and the British must be held accountable for these things!" In the future, our international and diplomatic strategies will be adjusted because of this incident! ”
"We fought the British for independence, we fought the British for freedom of trade in the Napoleonic era, and the British supported the South during the Civil War. And now, when the United States of America wanted to sell it, the British were blocking it. Do we have to work with the British? ”
"The prince is right, the new rising and the old empire are inherently hostile, from now on, it is impossible to be friendly to the British, this is a high-voltage line, whoever touches it will die! Moreover, there are many German and Austro-Hungarian immigrants in the United States, and there are also many Irish, and their power cannot be underestimated. Whichever party comes to power will have to woo them, and those who are otherwise neutral will also lean towards Germany. Do you understand? "Day and Roosevelt are now grasshoppers on a rope. So he explained the reasons to Roosevelt in great detail.
"I always feel like we're being calculated! The prince of Germany must have known something. Roosevelt said with some reluctance.
But he was telling the truth! It's just that we don't listen, now the United States has no other choice, the British are on the side of the Japanese, the French are cold and watching, the Russians can't help, even a little diplomatic assistance is precious, and in the future, the United States will have fewer friends, we are originally isolated! Dey laughed miserably.
"And that prince has something in his hands that can ruin half of the American leadership, do we have a choice? If you have objections. Those who are worried that the matter will be revealed will get rid of you before you can act, Lincoln will be assassinated, and what is the death of an Admiralty undersecretary? Then countless sewage will be poured on you, and your mistakes and shortcomings will be infinitely magnified, and eventually kill you from both physical and prestige aspects. You're a politician, you should be able to tell the difference, right? Day warned one last time. If Roosevelt is not on the way, whether for the sake of the United States or himself, then I can only be sorry!
Thus, under the deliberate manipulation of the American government, the relationship between the British and the Japanese in this war was excavated and even deliberately amplified, and in the official American documents and media, the British were the accomplices of Japan, (this is also true.) Funding the Japanese to help them buy warships and train their navy, and even the Americans speculated that the British helped develop this plan when Japan dared to think about the Philippines!
The British ignored the Americans' overtures to Britain for many years. Wantonly trampled on the dignity and national interests of the Americans, and the current British are the enemies of the United States, the second greatest enemy, and the first major enemy is naturally the Japanese! For a time, all kinds of pots were thrown by the Americans.
Books such as "The Truth of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance" and "The Despicable British" became the best-selling books in the United States for a time, and in the successive articles in the major newspapers, the American public gradually realized the malice and hostility of the world empire towards the United States! The political tendencies of the entire high-level and civil society have changed!
