Chapter 229: On the Correct Posture of Throwing the Pot
Some ancient things from many years ago have even been dug up, such as the Civil War, the British conspiracy theory said, why did the South dare to become independent back then, and why did the compatriots in the South choose war so irrationally? It's all instigated by the British behind their backs!
Why is the U.S. government so isolated in the world? It's all done by the British and a bunch of British spokesmen in the United States, and instead of joining forces with the Germans, who are also emerging empires, they kneel and lick the British, what is the result now? Everyone's clear, right? The little brother of the British easily overturned the American fleet!
Regardless of how many of these things are true, one thing is for sure, the image of the British in the minds of two generations of Americans is completely qualitative! It's so hard to save!
"it!" When these things continued to ferment, the British were dumbfounded, he really didn't expect this matter to be so far!
The British wanted to help Japan take the Philippines, but they didn't really intend to offend the Americans to death. According to the plan of the British, it is to let Japan occupy the northern part of the Philippines first, and then the United States to occupy the south, and act as a neutral person to mediate the relationship between the two.
But what is the situation now? The Americans, who were originally quite reasonable, actually beat the Japanese landing force before the declaration of war, and the Japanese simply beat the US Far East Fleet half to death a few days later! This is really biting the dog without barking, and calling the dog not to bite! Both countries are biting dogs, and they don't even say hello before pinching, and they're too ungentlemanly, right?
This is not to say that there is a big problem with the British strategy, the key is that they underestimate the ambitions of the United States and Japan, neither the Japanese nor the Americans have any intention of sharing the Philippines with others, and the United States and the British are vague about the Philippine issue, and the Japanese have their own petty calculations. So errors in judgment are inevitable.
The most important thing is that God bless Germany, and the process of the United States and Japan is full of unexpected factors! Even the Americans themselves did not expect to run to Manila Bay to make a circle, actually beat the Japanese, and also captured a few British naval prisoners by the way. And when this kind of thing happens, the Japanese naturally can't be good, so don't say anything, just start fighting!
But even in this case, the British still intend to communicate with the Americans, what can't they do? Let's sit down and talk about it, and resolve the conflict. But it's a pity that because of the needs of domestic politics and diplomacy in the United States, this time the Americans really don't plan to talk about anything with the British, and what else is there to talk about? You've made me so miserable? And ran over to say sorry? Sorry! Are you insulting the IQ of Americans, okay?
Thus, a week after the end of the Battle of the Sulu Sea, the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, Hay, was recalled and reportedly sent directly to prison on bail pending trial on charges of betraying the interests of the United States. And the British ambassador to the United States can't meet the new secretary of state for an exchange? The American receptionist said with anger on his face: "Now all Americans don't want to see the British!" ”
Although the words were somewhat absolute, it was still true that all American politicians and businessmen who had been close to Britain avoided the British like a plague, and immediately drew a line. Dress yourself up as a victim. The British finally found out that the matter was a little out of control!
To everyone's surprise, it was the Germans who nailed the last nail in the coffin of US-British relations, and the fact that Lieutenant Commander Charles of the British Navy and his team helped the Japanese to build a radio communication network appeared in the newspapers! There are not only confessions of captured British personnel, but also captured equipment and British naval orders and relevant documents to testify!
That's not ordinary! This is evidence of the direct entry of the British into the war! These reports directly turned the British from being behind the scenes to being participants in the war, which was even more unbearable than selling warships in wartime! With the spread of relevant reports around the world, in the hearts of Americans, the British and the Japanese have tied for first place and have become the number one enemy of the Americans!
After all, it is the British who have always oppressed themselves in history. Why is the White House called the White House? Isn't it all due to the British? Why isn't Canada the U.S. yet? Isn't it also because of the British? Why does Brazil dare to help Japan buy on behalf of Japan? Isn't it still the British? Everything is the fault of the British!
When the relationship between the United States and Britain was completely sent to the grave, the Spaniards felt that this was not enough, and pressed a marble slab on this coffin! The first-hand eyewitness information about the Spanish-American War written by Sevela in Cam Ranh Bay was finally published in major newspapers and magazines, especially the article "The Story of Two Conspirators and a Fool" was sought after by people all over the world!
In this article, Sevela described in detail what he saw and heard in Germany and the Philippines as an eyewitness, and the photograph of the representatives of the United States and Japan in Munich entering and leaving together detonated the attention of the media, and the British orchestrated all the arguments to close the coffin.
The author described the insidiousness of Britain and Japan and the stupidity of the Americans in very spicy terms, and implied that it was some people within the Americans themselves who surrendered the two warships to the Japanese, and allowed the Japanese to finally defeat the American Navy with these weapons. And these assertions have also made many pro-British American politicians lose their veils.
"Prime Minister, you'd like to find a way!" The British Foreign Secretary said anxiously.
"What else can I think of? Are we continuing to help Japan get the Philippines? Or force Japan to spit out the Philippines? Salzpoly said calmly.
"We can get the United States and Japan to share the Philippines. At least our relations with the United States need to be repaired, the United States is a big country, a great power full of life, and we cannot let the Americans be hostile to us! This is very bad for the future interests of the empire. The Foreign Secretary said.
"Hehe, the grass on the wall has always been the fastest to die. For the great powers, the result of vacillation is that neither side is pleasing to the other, and we must help Japan, because we need to use Japan against the Russians. As for the Americans? At least for now, there is no reason to have to woo in. And these things are too complicated for us to unravel, and if one day we need to abandon Japan, the resentment between us and the United States will naturally disappear, but not now! The Prime Minister said firmly.
