Roosevelt faced Taft's question, and he really didn't know how to answer it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Excellency, I think we should be brave enough to face reality, and I've always admired your choices in every moment of crisis," Taft said.

At this moment, the US Atlantic Fleet is ordered to stop sailing in the Taiwan Strait, and many losses will be reduced, otherwise, we in the United States will lose our interests. ”

Theodore Roosevelt walked to the window, gently pushed it open, and looked out the window at the early spring in Washington, where the sun was already shining.

President Roosevelt suddenly felt a sense of relief, and he seemed to be in a much better mood at the thought of leaving the White House in a few months.

The most important of the Qiu Yuanke is far away

He turned around, looked at the fat and bloated Taft, and said, "Old man, I think you should lose weight, otherwise, your body shape will be the subject of your opponents' attacks on you when you take the presidency's inaugural speech."

They will say that this is a fat and slow-moving guy, and a person of such a body shape must be particularly greedy for food and sleep, how can he have the energy to serve our America. ”

Taft laughed and said, "It seems that my weight will continue to drop before I sit in the presidency, and if I can become president, I will definitely be slimmer in four years, because the presidency is too hard!" ”

Roosevelt returned to his seat, scratched his head, picked up a book, looked at it and said, "I absolutely believe that what you say is true, if you really become the next president of the United States, you will be many times thinner than you are now, and this is indeed a chore!"

Mr. Minister, now explain to the Emperor of Japan in your name that they should abandon Taiwan, and at the same time, order our American South Pacific Fleet and Far East Fleet to request the Hainan Army to withdraw from this area. ”

Half an hour later, Mukden in the northeast and Tokyo in Japan received a message from the White House at the same time.

After not hating the far away, the seal is far away, and the star is far away

The telegram to Mukden reads: The US South Pacific Fleet and the Far East Fleet accidentally strayed into this operational area demarcated by your military during their exercise in the East China Sea, and the United States side regrets this.

After receiving this telegram, Chen Zhong sneered, handed the telegram to Li Chuang, and said: "Roosevelt, you are a little example, if you want to fight with this king in the Taiwan Strait, you still need to learn a few more years!" This king reigns over you self-righteous people.

Sun Keyuanke sealed the ground and sealed the ghost early

The enemy is far away from the enemy, and the most far-reaching is to learn from the lonely side

General Li, in the name of the Hainan Palace, sent a telegram back to the White House:

Upon learning that the US South Pacific Fleet and the Far East Fleet have strayed into the operational area demarcated by our Hainan army, this king understands that because of our army's strategic deployment and wartime military secrets, our army cannot allow any military force stranded in this area to be allowed to pass for the time being.

As for the three submarines mentioned by the US side, our military has not found any trace of them in this area, so please ask the US side to further verify them! ”

After President Roosevelt received Chen Zhong's reply, he laughed and said, "If you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later!" I also expected that the king of Hainan would not easily agree to our request, and he would let us leave something before we were released, and I had already considered this, as for the three submarines, it was basically impossible to get them back from the hands of the king of Hainan. ”

The feud is not Ke Xing Nuo Ke Feng Ghost Yang alone

Roosevelt handed Taft a copy of the book Smith had written last year, "China and America Today," and said, "This may be the last bargaining chip we have to exchange with the king of Hainan." ”

Taft looked at the book handed over by Roosevelt, opened the first chapter, and saw Smith in the first chapter of the book, which clearly put forward the opportunities and responsibilities of the United States in China, and he strongly advocated that the United States should return the Gengzi indemnity money to China, and using these funds to fund Chinese students to study in the United States is the most urgent task for the United States at present.

Roosevelt continued: "After I read this book, I have been thinking that we in the United States have missed the opportunity to develop in China for nearly three decades.

Now it seems that Principal James is very correct in what he said, to dominate and control China's development, and to use the power of knowledge and spirit, far greater than warships and artillery.

Therefore, it is more reliable for us in the United States to spend some money to expand our spiritual influence than to use warships to conquer China.

Therefore, I believe that we are asking Congress for approval on the Taiwan Strait incident, and the United States will use this batch of returned Gengzi indemnities to subsidize Chinese students to study in the United States.

Mr. Minister, I think that I will not be in the presidency for long, and I will do my best to bring this matter forward, and if it is not done before I leave office, please continue this matter.

After many years of thinking, to conquer a country and a nation, we should first conquer their minds, instead of using force to conquer and oppress them, as in the era of cold weapons. ”

Taft admires the president of the United States in front of him more and more, and over the years of his tenure, with his wisdom and courage, he has brought the United States into the ranks of the most advanced countries in the world, and his strong style, always wise and kind smile, has left the deepest impression on the world, and it is clear that this is one of the greatest presidents of the United States.

At this moment, on the Japanese island in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese Emperor Meiji was looking blankly at the telegram from the White House of the United States.

These casual words completely put the United States out of the Taiwan Strait crisis, and the flowery rhetoric in these cables cannot hide the shamelessness of the Americans.

Emperor Meiji looked at the cherry blossoms in full bloom outside the window, and he suddenly felt a sense of regret for spring, and he said to himself, "Is my Japan really like the fate of this cherry blossom tree?" In the short season when it is in its most brilliant bloom, just the moment of blooming, it ends the glory of a lifetime! Death, from the moment it blooms, has quietly come with the glamour of the eyes? ”

Emperor Meiji sighed deeply, and he recalled his thirty or forty years of life as a golden iron horse, and the high spirits of the past, the glory of the empire in the past, were all blown away by the wind in this spring when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

After the prosperity, why will it be lonely?

Emperor Meiji was no longer angry, he only had an endless sense of sorrow.

He was wondering where Japan was going...... (51)
