Then back to the very beginning of the question, if there is a problem, someone always has to carry the black pot, just like going out to eat, always asking someone to pay, according to what ordinary people think, since the black pot is naturally to find people who are not so important, but it seems that the weight is sufficient, how big was the US Navy at that time? How many people can participate in the decision-making?

Dewey is a good choice, if he did not participate in the war, but stayed in the United States, then there is a good chance that this pot will be thrown on his head, after all, he was once the commander of the Far East Fleet of the US Navy, after all, most of the intelligence was collected by him, after all, he agreed to go to war with Japan, and the top brass was just deceived.

But what about the result? Dewey is in the war! And he died in battle! What's even heavier is that the death is still very heroic, and even Essen, who also participated in the naval battle, later published an article saying that he was a real warrior, and Dewey killed thousands of American troops in battle, and they fought to the end, these people used their blood and lives to tell the world that they are worthy of the United States of America, they are the most important fig leaf for political dignitaries, and they poured sewage on them, not asking those old men whether they agreed, the US Navy and the tens of thousands of families who died did not agree. Besides, killing people is not enough, people are dead, who will chase after the strategic mistakes of others before their deaths?

Dewey is a commodore general, his status is already very high, and then he is higher than him, which is directly related to this matter, and there are not many people who can manage and lead the fleet, and Simpson is also a vice admiral...... The final result is this, there are only two people who can carry this pot, one is General Simpson, and the other is the deputy secretary of the US Department of the Navy, this person's name is Theodore. Roosevelt!

If you don't take into account personal factors, Roosevelt's probability of carrying the black pot is much higher than Simpson's! First of all, this decision was ultimately made by the Admiralty, and Simpson, as the commander of the U.S. Home Fleet, carried it out more importantly, and even his own support for this plan can be justified, first, he is not in the Far East, he does not know the situation in the Far East, and all inferences are made based on the intelligence of the Admiralty. Second, he is the commander of the fleet, and he did a good job of fighting the Spanish fleet in Cuba, which can be regarded as meritorious.

Well, what about Roosevelt? He is the undersecretary of the Admiralty himself, so he does not have the energy to make the Admiralty ....... However, he is also in charge of the day-to-day work, so well, let the deputy top the cylinder is almost the consensus of the whole navy. And in fact, this decision was indeed led by Roosevelt, and it was not too much to let him top the cylinder. This is a very just and correct decision.

And what's even more fatal is that he also accidentally pushed two capital ships that could have joined the Russian or Spanish Navy to the side of the Japanese, and the addition of these two battleships directly led to the defeat of the war. This is a proper traitor! And it's still a ...... that it's just sold, and I haven't gotten any benefits.

If nothing else, or any earthquake-level accident, Vice Admiral Simpson, who won the Spanish fleet with blood and sweat, and had a certain distance from the decision-making department, and also knew some secret things about Roosevelt, would never be fine, he reminded Roosevelt to pay attention to the whereabouts of the two battleships, reminded Roosevelt to pay attention to the Japanese, and reminded Roosevelt to be careful of the British. Objectively, Simpson did everything he could!

But in the end, Simpson took the blame, was forced to retire gloomily, and then accepted an investigation, almost spared prison, and many years of hard work came to naught. Glory and passion go with the wind. The root cause of this result is none other than Simpson himself! Because he took the initiative to carry the black pot directly! Didn't even say a word to Roosevelt before that!

When Roosevelt, who had almost resigned himself to his fate, found Simpson, who was idle at home, and promised to pay compensation, the latter simply shook his head and asked, "Can you make me vice admiral again?" Roosevelt admits he can't. You must know that the US Navy could only promote 7 captains a year at that time! And want to make a person who made a mistake re-lieutenant general, what are you kidding?

"Can you let me fight the British, the Japanese shorty?" Lieutenant General Simpson asked.

"It can't be." Roosevelt said with some weakness.

"Well, I hope that one day, you can avenge us, otherwise I and the naval officers and men who fought in the Far East will not be able to let you go!" Simpson concluded. The reason for Simpson's decision was simply that he thought Roosevelt was a man of ability, a man who could develop the navy, and the most promising one to avenge his disgrace. People are sometimes so noble, just because of these hopes, he carried the black pot for Roosevelt, and then resigned gloomily, and for Roosevelt, this is a favor that cannot be repaid! The glory and sweat of a vice admiral's life, and even the future of future generations, how can you let Roosevelt pay it back?

"Why? Why don't you clean up the British? Did you accept a bribe from the British? As soon as Roosevelt entered the door, Simpson stood up, walked over quickly, pointed at Roosevelt's nose and cursed.

"How is it possible, I, as the president of the United States, I ......." Roosevelt felt that his personality had been greatly insulted. He retorted sharply.

"And then our Mr. President personally buried the accumulation of more than ten years of the US Navy before taking office?" Simpson's words were already somewhat threatening. The reason is simple, he knew something about Roosevelt, and if he took it out, someone would testify, after all, as a vice admiral, how could the existence of almost the American fleet not have his own team? Marshall did not accept a higher rank because Pershing was a five-star general. Although he stepped down unjustly, Simpson had no problem pulling up a group of people, especially if he was not short of money.

What's more, what Simpson said is not groundless, the British are naturally reluctant to let the United States and Germany get closer, after all, the industrial capacity of the United States and Germany is there, and the British are even more reluctant to let the Central Powers become a ...... of the Allied bloc spanning three continents. Their public relations work is also very good, bribery and lobbying are the most common things. It is also true that some people took advantage of the British. Of course, the generation of famous President Theodore. Mr. Roosevelt didn't take it. Not only him, but also the people around him didn't take it.

Now Roosevelt is really diligent and dedicated to the future of the United States of America. And his judgment direction is indeed very correct from the point of view of the traverser Ruprecht ****, if Germany is allowed to survive the First World War, don't say that it takes advantage of more, as long as the Brest Treaty can be implemented, you will look back at ...... in another 20 years.
