Chapter 213: Savella's Revenge
"The American fleet suffered heavy losses and could not immediately go north?" If this news reaches the ears of the Americans, they are afraid that they will laugh, right? In the room specially arranged for Severa by the French, a sneer appeared on Severa's lips. "Although my revenge may not have played much role in the United States, Japan, and Britain, Severa began his own revenge for the sake of those comrades who died in vain and for the betrayed Spain! And the first move is to give the Japanese the wrong information!
Severa may not be able to fight, but definitely does not really think that his fleet can cause any damage to the Americans, as soon as the two sides come into contact with the Spanish fleet, it collapses, and the rest of the time is completely garbage time, and Severa even thinks that the Americans have nothing to lose except for the consumption of ammunition.
Although there is not much intelligence, Severa has been able to analyze the situation in the Philippines, the Spaniards have been out in advance, the Americans have occupied the southern part of the Philippines, and the Japanese must have occupied the north, no need to ask, Severa also knows very well that Manila Bay has become the territory of the Japanese. He doesn't know whether the United States and Japan want to monopolize or equalize, but Severa still hopes that the United States and Japan can fight, and the bigger the fight, the better!
"And the British, too! I must bring the British and Japanese conspiracies to light! "To outsiders, it's a senseless action, but in Severa's opinion, it's a way for the weak to resist!
"After the end of the Qing-Japanese War, because of the intervention of Russia, Germany and France, Japan, the hungry wolf that had just grown up, did not get much benefit from the sick and decaying empire next to it, and the war brought Japan not prosperity but a heavy burden, in order to satisfy its infinite greed, Japan surrendered his eyes to the colonies of a country that had been declining in the Far East. The Philippines, the best prey, has fallen and no other country wants to do justice. ”
In order to avoid the recurrence of the intervention of the three countries, the Japanese focused on strengthening its naval construction, and this move was approved by its masters! The British needed Japan to fight against the increasingly powerful Russia, and in order to achieve this, the British gave Japan a great deal of help, both financially and diplomatically, and it was the British who persuaded the Brazilian government to help Japan purchase powerful warships originating in Germany. The agreement between Russia and Germany was cleverly avoided, and as a result, the Japanese received the first armored cruisers! ”
Then the Russians made a mistake and the Russians abandoned the Russia and the Grombaeuil. And Spain was ready to buy, and at this time another country that had a lot of ideas about the Philippines also joined the competition, and the Americans had been fighting the Spanish colonies for a long time, not only Cuba, but even the Philippines, thousands of miles away, was also in their calculations. Naturally, the United States would not let these two battleships fall into the hands of Spain. He thought he was smart and thought that Japan was a good country to get along with, and in the end, in this game, they chose to help Japan. And in the end it turned out that the Americans helped their enemies with their own strength, what a ridiculous and stupid thing! ”
Why did Evera choose to go to a third-party colony? Is it really that you can't trust the promises of the British? There are reasons for this, but the most critical problem is that he must make his views public before the official conflict between the United States and Japan! Not to mention whether it will have an impact on the war situation, at least it will have a very bad impact on the relations between the United States and Britain and Japan! If a war breaks out, the United States and Japan will be completely broken, and when this report is poked out, it will be impossible for the British to wash themselves away!
Without the help of the British, how could Japan convince Brazil to buy for itself? When Spain and Japan were fighting over these two warships, Sevela, as a party concerned, could be sure that the British had played a very bad role in this dispute, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the hotels where Sevela stayed in Munich and Berlin were very close to the British and Japanese representatives' accommodations! As a competitor, Sevela naturally recorded the opponent's every move and left a photo! From the photos, you can clearly identify some of the representatives of the British! Ninety percent sure that Sevela will tie Japan and Britain together!
After the end of the Spanish-American War, Sevela published a series of books on the game and belligerence in the Philippines, among which "The Story of Two Conspirators and a Fool" tells the game between the United States, Britain and Japan around a series of issues on the eve of the outbreak of war. "Far Eastern Storm" is about the impact of the end of the Battle of the Philippines on the situation in the Far East. And "The Battle of the Philippines" is about the battle of the parties involved in the war.
Of course, these are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being, but what Savera didn't expect was that before he could send out a series of reports, his false information first made the Japanese suffer a big loss, and by mistake, the possibility of the last point of negotiation between the United States and Japan was completely wiped out with the rumbling of artillery, and to a certain extent, Sevela should bear considerable responsibility for a series of subsequent events, such as the thousands of Japanese army officers and soldiers killed and wounded in Manila Bay and thousands of tons of various materials.
Because the Japanese concluded that the US fleet would not go north in a short period of time, let alone attack the Japanese army, the reason was very simple, the landing sites of the United States and Japan in the Philippines were far apart from each other, and there was no declaration of war between the United States and Japan.
And after the Japanese, who were used to living a poor life, suddenly found that they could get a 9,000-ton high-quality armored cruiser by going out and wandering around, they immediately towed the Carlos V to Tainan without saying a word, and then repaired it, no way, this battleship is too meaningful for the current Japanese Navy, not only a ship, but also a warship! So Kayama Shikiki took the entire Japanese fleet north to escort the battleship!
And what are the Americans doing at this time? At this time, the U.S. fleet did not know that Japan had declared war on Spain, and the U.S. government did not immediately notify the Far East of the news, on the one hand, the objective conditions did not allow it, and the telegram was first sent to the German Kaiser Wilhelm territory through the cable network, and then the notification ship was excluded to inform the fleet, and this process would take time even if it was very smooth. On the other hand, the US Government did not recognize Japan's declaration of war against Spain, and the note from the US Foreign Ministry to the Japanese Government clearly stated that the Philippines was a spoils of war between the United States and Spain and had nothing to do with Japan, and demanded that Japan immediately withdraw from the Philippines! And in the midst of the, the American fleet went north!
