Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

"Do you think you can represent the United States of America? Is that so? Who are you? Aside from Mr. Hay being a diplomat, is anyone else involved in diplomacy? You have the president's mandate in your hands, but it's just the president's personal will, and Congress doesn't even know it, so that's fine. I could have ignored you. Because of who you are, and for all that you say tonight, there is no light of day. At least I know that the current Secretary of State of your country, Mr. Sherman, is opposed to the use of force against Spain, if these things reach his ears today. How are you going to end up? Of course, you can bet that Mr. Sherman is indifferent. Gamblers think that your delegation came to Bavaria just to see old friends. ”

"Even if we sell two warships to the Spaniards, will we be at odds with the United States? What do you think? War with Spain is only the opinion of a small group of you, or of the president, at the head of the president. If the Spanish Navy has made great progress, it is difficult to say whether this war can be fought. You can take revenge on me, but it won't do anything. Because if you can't be in power, it's just personal hatred, and I don't care at all. ”

"Of course, there is also the possibility that you will come to power and then go to war with Spain. The Spanish fleet now has 2 ironclad ships, 2 Munich-type armored cruisers, and 2 new 10,000-ton armored cruisers, and it is difficult to say whether it can hold the West Indies, but it is no problem to hold the Philippines. If you are willing to accept this result, you can do that. ”

"You can put the blame on me and say that I supported Spain. As a result, the United States has not done its full work and is an enemy of the United States. But on the table of your political enemies there will be a list of your itinerary to Germany, from the time you go through customs to the time you visit me, and there will be your signature, and then your political enemies will ask, since you have come to Germany. I met with the principal, so why didn't I stop this from happening? ”

"Of course, you will argue, but sometimes the facts are not so important, because in the end you were not able to prevent the two ships from entering Spain. This is your fault, politics is sometimes unclear, you can gamble, bet that you can get through this hurdle. ”

"By the way, I forgot to say that. I am not like you, I will be king, my eldest son will inherit my throne, and it is doubtful that you will be able to retain your status today until tomorrow. When national interests or political interests require it, you end up being abandoned. I can bet, can you? ”

"From a national point of view, because of your arrogance and incompetence, the Philippines is missing, and from a personal point of view. Your hatred or resentment has no effect on me. Politics favors successful people. And won't like losers. If you lose the Philippines and only gain the West Indies, then tell me, are you considered the winner? Prince Ruprecht said jokingly.

"We are not a threat, we are here for the sake of friendship between our two countries." Dai lifted his glasses and said slowly, trying to ease the tension now.

"Then take action. I can't say that my conditions are not generous, you don't have to pay any cost, just a document and a decent offer. The money does not need to be paid by the United States. Still not satisfied? Trying to get a benefit from me by means of an empty glove white wolf. You're thinking too much, right? Prince Ruprecht said with a wave of his hand.

"It's an easy deal, and I'm willing to sell you face, okay. Or to sell the United States a face. But your attitude is terrible! You now have two choices, one is to bring what I want. The other is that I contacted President McKinley through diplomatic channels, and it doesn't matter if I change people or I go to the United States to talk about it myself. You can see what you do. The prince stood up and turned to leave, he didn't have so much time to talk to the other party.

"By the way, the official bidding starts next week, you don't have much time." Before leaving, Ruprecht kindly reminded the Americans.

"We seem to have a bad talk? Mr. Roosevelt, your words may have irritated the other side. After all, he is a prince, and the kind with real power. He can be willful. And we can't. After returning to the hotel, Day looked at Roosevelt with some dissatisfaction and said.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we do what he says, then everything will go up in smoke, and this prince values profit. We always have a way to get back, and that's nothing. My concern is whether there is really something wrong with our strategy. The other person seems to know something, but he doesn't intend to tell us. Roosevelt didn't heed Day's accusations. Understated revealed.

"Do you really believe what the prince said? If these two battleships are eventually bought by the Japanese, our future plans are nine out of ten. The British have pledged to uphold the principle of neutrality. I think he's bluffing! Ambassador Hay said with a slight smile on his lips.

"I agree with you if someone else had said this, but if you know his past, you will see that this prince has never gone wrong in the general direction! Whether it's business or a grasp of the situation! He predicted almost the course and outcome of the entire Qing-Japanese war. ”

"If it's just a prediction, then it's nothing. After all, everyone can guess casually, but he is serious, and according to the various stages of the layout, the blocking of Japanese government bonds and the bottom of the Japanese silver market have his figure, he is very accurate in predicting the direction of things, and from it to get a lot of benefits, I mentioned before the business friends came, don't try to use money to make him succumb, because he doesn't look at this money at all! "Theodore. Roosevelt said.

"Who's that friend of yours?" Wilson, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Old Rockefeller." Roosevelt said.

"It seems that we have a formidable adversary, and we ought to make contact with the British, and our interests are aligned in keeping the ship from falling into the hands of the Spaniards." Hay himself was inclined to the British, and in this case it was natural that he would choose to cooperate with the British.

"Let me and Mr. Wilson go on this matter, one of you is the president's legal adviser, and the other is the undersecretary of the Admiralty, and such a diplomatic occasion is not suitable for you." Hay thought for a moment and said.
