Chapter 185: The Right Way to Discuss the Yin Man 2
Look at the people who came to Bavaria to chat with me, the two future presidents of the United States, what are they doing here? Isn't it to prevent these two warships from falling into the hands of the enemy Siban? But as a result, these two battleships turned around and fell into the hands of another, even more terrible enemy! What is it called? Shoot yourself in the foot, and as a signatory of this secret treaty, if this matter is revealed, then Roosevelt and Wilson and now McKinley will not be able to escape! It's a good end!
One good thing about the United States is that there is no shortage of opposition parties at any time. If this thing falls into the hands of the opposition, all the US government in Y will be a traitor to the United States! It took a long time to help the enemy, to help the enemy to arm against the navy of the United States, this is treason, the political future is over, it is a trivial matter, maybe you will spend the next version of your life in prison!
The "black rolls" in their hands and the later "red rolls" were "little boys" and "fat men" for Roosevelt and others and their supporters! It's good to grasp the handle, if you have this handle, when these people come to power, they will have to be cautious, cautious, and cautious about the relationship between virtue and virtue. Politics is sometimes like that, how many politicians can ignore their own political interests? In this plane, aren't the so-called various hatreds of the people guided by the top?
Imagine if, at the time of World War I, as long as Germany did not go too far, and Wilson wanted to declare war on Germany, the American opposition suddenly revealed this incident 20 years ago that brought shame to the entire United States of America, and it would not be too much to beat Wilson into a spy of Britain and Japan at that time, right? After all, you are a participant in this matter, and after betraying the interests of the United States, you now have to kneel and lick Britain and Japan. What do you mean? There are not only handwriting and fingerprints on the secret agreement, but the prince also took a few photos with everyone who met again, so you can slowly deny it yourself. The evidence is conclusive! Did you Wilson or Roosevelt want to overturn the case? It's difficult.
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. According to the estimation of His Royal Highness the Prince, after this incident, the relationship between the United States and Japan is considered dead, and the relationship between the United States and Britain is almost difficult to make up. After all, sooner or later, this thing done by the British will be exposed, because the British have indirectly lost the opportunity for the United States to enter the Far East. This kind of hatred is not only in the American political arena, but also among the capitalists and factory owners in the United States. What a big market, wasn't it because of these reasons that the United States and Japan had bad relations back then? As the planner of the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt would probably hate the Japanese for the rest of his life if he lost the Philippines, right?
So these two battleships must be sold! All 4 battleships must be given to Japan! Anyway, the two battleships were purchased by Brazil, and the British operated them behind the scenes, and they had nothing to do with Bavaria. The other two warships were sold to Japan at the request of your U.S. government, and it has nothing to do with me, and my brother still has a lot of black history in his hands. You can't, and you don't dare to blame me!
It's not enough for Japan to get the Philippines and then make a feud with US imperialism! If you want to have enough hatred, you have to get blood! Both Japan and the United States have to play dog brains for the Philippines! The Japanese did not want a head-on conflict with American imperialism. Ruprecht could have guessed this, but in fact it was not up to the Japanese to decide whether there would be a conflict or not, His Royal Highness the Prince had already been able to guess what the United States and Japan were thinking, and the British were putting logistical pressure on the Americans under the pretext of neutrality. And the Japanese, with a powerful fleet, forced the Americans to admit reality. The idea is good, but will Ruprecht, who has already recognized this, make Britain and Japan happy?
Ruprecht reminded Sevela early on to defend the Philippines instead of Cuba, which was not a good idea of His Royal Highness, because no matter how the Spanish fleet was assembled, there was no chance of victory in the face of the Japanese fleet one year later. The result of crushing to death! The prince reminds Sevela that the fundamental purpose is still on the Americans!
As long as two Munich-class armored cruisers are released to the Philippines, the Dewey fleet of the United States, which is now in the Far East, will certainly not be able to cope. What if you can't cope and want to seize the Philippines? The only way to do that is to increase the number of troops! In order to deal with two armored cruisers, at least two armored cruisers, Brooklyn and New York, should they come over? If you want to be safer, then I'm afraid you have to send a battleship, for example, the newly commissioned Iowa is good, this ship has the highest speed in history of 17 knots, and the firepower is fierce enough!
So here's the problem. How to solve the problem of replenishment after these warships come over? It is certain that the Americans bring their own supply ships, but there is no way to maintain the battleships! The British will not help, the Americans themselves are not capable, the French are too far away. But the Germans have a way! In order to support the patrol of the Munich class armored cruisers in the Far East, the Germans built a 10,000-ton floating dock there. You Americans want to use it and talk to me!
Of course. Even so, the Americans would certainly not be able to defeat four "King Kongs" and two second-class battleships with one battleship, two armored cruisers, and several protective cruisers. If the Americans knew the truth. Maybe I really don't dare to do it. After all, no one wants an egg to touch a stone!
But the problem is that now the United States does not know that Japan bought 4 armored cruisers at once! If there were only 2 ships, the Japanese Navy would have little advantage over the US Navy, and the Americans would not have the strength to fight! And don't forget that it was Prince Ruprecht who had the final say when the Japanese battleships were delivered! The two Hysin and Izumo, which were acquired from the Russians, were delivered in October 1897, and the two battleships were bound to be handed over to the Japanese before the war, which was also a sign that the Japanese would continue to operate. But there is a saying when the other two battleships will be delivered!
The two battleships started late, and the normal construction should have been completed in February 1898! And what about the course of the Spanish-American War in history? The Maine incident on February 15, 1898, the United States began the blockade of Cuban ports on April 22, and Spain declared war on Cuba on April 24! And on May 1, Dewey launched an attack on the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay.
The prince didn't know what this plane would be, but if everything was according to history, then the two warships purchased by Japan might really be able to catch up with this operation, which would be completed in mid-February, and after receiving the ships in England, it might not even take a month to go back to China in the Mediterranean. As for the training of personnel, it is not at all a matter of fact, it is true that the ships that Japan acquired from the Russians were delivered in October, but one of the battleships was completed in August, and the time that the battleships stayed in Germany was enough for the Japanese to train a batch of seeds. Then disperse to the remaining few battleships and start fighting as soon as they return home! And don't forget, the weapons on it are made of British goods, and the Japanese have already played badly!
