Chapter 468: It can't really be that we blew it up, right?

When Huang Xiaolei informed the Green Paint District Command Center of the news from the Jews about the bombing of the second-class battleship "Maine" in the port of Havana through wireless communication, Zhao Yi was so trembling that he couldn't even hold the teacup in his hand and smashed it directly to the ground. Although the other members of the Provisional Executive Committee did not have such a gaffe as Zhao Yi, it can be seen from their iron-blue faces that everyone is worried about the bombing of the "Maine."

"Lao Zhao, are you also worried that the 'Maine' was blown up by those stunned young people who had just been teleported by the 'director team'?" Lu Xiangyang said and handed a towel to Zhao Yi, whose hands were covered with tea.

"Yes, the pattern of the teleporters of the 'director team' has become difficult to fathom, and I'm really afraid that these guys who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement will throw people directly into the Caribbean. Didn't you say last time, this will be far away from the sea of the Spanish-American War! This 'Maine' may not have been fried by Eagle Sauce himself! Zhao Yi took the towel and said while wiping his hands.

"You don't have to worry too much, it doesn't have to be the stunned young man who just got thrown over, didn't Lao Lu say last time, due to the butterfly effect caused by our crossing, many historical events will not happen accurately at the original time node?" Hao Dajian said.

Lu Xiangyang's whole statement is true, and the time of those historical events in the original time and space has changed a lot, such as "writing on the bus" and "small station training" and so on, and some historical events have been directly erased, such as the massacre that originally occurred in Lushun.

"However, the historical events that have changed due to the butterfly effect will not deviate too far from the original time node after the change! The bombing of the USS Maine, which led to the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, occurred in February 1898! This Nima is too far away, and I don't think I can rule out the possibility that the rough embryo that was just teleported over blew up the ship. Former micro-film director Feng Yunyi said.

"Regardless of whether the 'Maine' was bombed by our own people or not, let's deal with the things on both sides of the South China Sea and Shandong first, the Caribbean Sea is too far away, and we can't reach it for the time being, so we can only do it in a hurry. Order the Sacramento-class integrated supply ship E4 to merge with Task Force 38 and return to East Manyu. Shandong also quickly cleaned up for me, and the personnel returned to the vicinity of Yantai as soon as possible, and all the Manchurians who should be beheaded were cut down for me! It's a waste of resources to drag on the front for so long! Zhao Yi said.

According to the information transmitted by the Jews, the "Maine", which was sunk in the Caribbean port of Havana, was a second-class battleship of the Eagle Sauce Navy, with a displacement of about 6,700 tons, which was laid with a keel at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York on October 17, 1888, and officially launched on November 18, 1890, and did not officially enter service with the Eagle Sauce Navy until September 17, 1895. In other words, it has not been in service for more than a year, and she was directly paralyzed in the port of Havana in the Caribbean Sea because it was bombed.

The reason why the second-class battleship "Maine" appeared in the port of Havana in Cuba was because it was going to carry out an operation to protect overseas Chinese in Cuba. There were a large number of sugar cane plantations belonging to the Americans in the Cuban Sea, and the military conflict between the Cubans and the Spanish colonial authorities had threatened the safety of these plantations, which brought huge profits to the American capitalists.

As one of Spain's earliest colonies, Cuba has always been the suzerain's main export market. With Spain's declining decline, by the end of the nineteenth century there were only three overseas colonies: Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. With a precipitous decline in the population base available for exploitation, Spain had to squeeze the three remaining colonies even more brutally.

Cuba, where Americans invested heavily in sugar and mining, was one of the most oily and water-rich of the three colonies, and in order to make more money from this rich colony, the Spaniards introduced the Wilson Gorman Tariff Act in 1894. The tariff law was introduced at a time when the Cuban sugar market was in a depression, and the Spaniards removed the sugar from the duty-free list. Heavy taxes led directly to the collapse of the price of raw sugar, and a large number of Cubans who worked in the sugar industry lost their jobs, so that a large number of riots against the Spanish colonial authorities spread throughout Cuba for a time. Because of the large investment of American capitalists in Cuba, the American public, under the tendentious coverage of the Eagle Sauce media, was also emotionally supportive of the Cuban riots.

By the end of the nineteenth century, Eagle Sauce had also entered the period of imperialism. The monopoly capital consortia in China urgently need to open up new markets, investment venues, and raw material production areas, so the various propaganda machines under the control of these consortia create public opinion for foreign expansion. But unfortunately, when Eagle Sauce was preparing to expand overseas, the whole world had been carved up by the old colonial powers.

Eagle Sauce has the intention to re-divide the world colonies, but at this time, his teeth are not strong and his claws are not profitable, and he is still unable to compete with the old miscellaneous hairs such as Britain and France. Fortunately, there are still three colonies left in the pocket of the old empire Spain, especially one of them, Cuba, is still in its back garden, so Spain has long been remembered by Eagle Sauce.

At this time, President Cliffläff, who was in power at the Eagle Sauce House, initially had a foreign policy toward Cuba based on avoiding getting involved in matters other than regulation. While on 6 April 1896, the two chambers passed a joint resolution approving formal recognition of the Cuban rebels and urging the President to help them gain independence, but Cliland only agreed to establish peace with Spain on the basis of allowing Cuban autonomy. Of course, Cleveland's offer was "politely" rejected by the Spaniards.

In the history of the original plane, it was not until a year later, after President William McKinley, who was jointly elected to power by the old enemies Morgan and Carnegie, began to take office, and it was only after Theodore Roosevelt, an ambitious fellow, took office as Deputy Secretary of the Navy that the Eagle Sauce Navy began to intervene in the situation in Cuba.

However, in this time and space, the Travelers made a strong landing on the Liaodong Peninsula in the Far East at the end of 1894, and seized a colony under the eyes of the polar bear and John Bull's agent.

This is not over, immediately after the Great Song Dynasty people in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, directly expelled the Dutch in the South Pacific region, who were also declining, and opened up another colony in West Borneo, as far as the current situation in the South Pacific is concerned, many Americans estimate that it is only a matter of time before the entire Borneo falls into the hands of the Great Song people, and even in view of the current momentum of the Great Song people constantly sending additional warships to the South Pacific waters, Batavia, which is currently occupied by the sea coachmen, is estimated to be unable to escape the fate of hanging the unicorn flag.

The changes that have taken place in Asia in the past two years have made the eyes of many Eagle Sauce monopoly consortiums that originally held a conservative stance hot. It is also a newly rising country, why can people grab territory and we can only watch?

At this time, President Cleveland was under more pressure than his contemporaries, and in the face of public opinion that constantly demanded the security of the Eagle Sauce expatriates working in Cuba, he had to send a fleet to the port of Havana to protect the expatriates at the end of his administration, and the second-class battleship "Maine" was among them.
