Chapter 541: Everyone has learned to be obedient, this crutch is not easy to sell!
When Huang Xiaolei told the Eagle Sauce envoy who had been squatting in Dalian Bay that the news that the crossing crowd was about to take action against the Spanish defenders entrenched in Manila a few days later, the person almost didn't drop his jaw.
After repeated confirmation, he found that the attack that the young lady on the other side said was indeed three or five days later, not three or five months later.
Are you in such a hurry? Shouldn't you have received some rumors that the British are going to do something to you in the South Pacific, is this to pull us into the water?
You really can't blame this envoy for thinking too much, in terms of communication technology and logistical support conditions in these years, if the great powers start fighting, they often have to prepare for a year and a half, and even a few years of preparation, I have never seen such a monkey as anxious as the Great Song people.
"It's not a day or two since you instigated us to do something against the Spaniards, and you won't tell me that the U.S. military has no other way to do it than the fleet that was detained in Hong Kong, do you?" Huang Xiaolei said.
Mr. Special Envoy nodded, and the intention in his words that he originally wanted to follow behind the butt of the Great Song Royal Navy was really obvious.
When Huang Xiaolei proposed that the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty "assist" her fleet out of its current state of detention and supervision, Ya shook her head like a rattle.
Nima's, this is really talking to a thousand-year-old goblin, who doesn't feel like a mirror in his heart? Huang Xiaolei is still mentally prepared for the attitude of the Eagle Sauce envoy.
Despite the efforts of pro-Song Jews and Morgan Sr., President Eagle Sauce stated that he would continue to fulfill his obligations under the treaty signed by the Great Song Dynasty, but also stressed that the treaty only covered and was limited to the South Pacific region.
Huang Xiaolei knows very well that Eagle Sauce's foreign policy has always been deeply influenced by the "Monroe Doctrine", and it is not easy for those "allies" to make Eagle Sauce government make such a statement at the critical juncture when John Bull declared war on Song.
Monroe Doctrine, the longest-lasting ideology of the Eagle Sauce family, ahem, don't laugh! For the eagle sauce, the history of more than a hundred years is already a long time, and not everyone has a history of thousands of dollars at every turn!
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, in the face of the wildfire independence movement in Latin America, the then president of the Eagle Sauce, James Brown. In 1823, Monroe announced a diplomatic policy regarding control of the American continent, which was later known as the "Monroe Doctrine" in American political circles.
At that time, Monroe declared in a statement that if European countries continued to further colonize the lands of North and South America or intervene in their regimes, the United States would see it as an act of aggression, and the United States would inevitably intervene.
There has always been a group of people in Eagle Sauce who want to fight with the Spaniards in order to take back Cuba and Puerto Rico, which have to be somewhat influenced by the "Monroe Doctrine".
You must know that as a country with a vast territory and rich resources and a constant influx of immigrants, Eagle Sauce really does not lack those two pieces of land with a large nose to be used as a raw material production area and commodity dumping place.
The "Maine" gave the Virginia-class nuclear submarine "Mississippi", which had just been teleported and was still in a state of bewilderment, and Eagle Sauce was willing to climb up the pole and declare war on the matador.
But at this time, their preparations for the war were nearly three years behind the history of the original time and space, so Eagle Sauce, who was good at planning, thought of pulling the Great Song people who seemed to be going to show their strength in the South Pacific region.
However, at this time, the supporters of the "Monroe Doctrine" in Yingjiang's family, who originally wanted to use the power of the Great Song people to contain the Spaniards, thought about getting rid of the US-Song Mutual Defense Treaty that had not yet been warmed up.
Why? Because back then, James. Another part of Monroe's statement is that while European countries do not interfere in the affairs of North and South America, the United States will not interfere in the existing European colonies and will not participate in the internal affairs of European countries.
Obviously, these Yankees originally planned to clean up their back gardens while fishing for one or two Spanish colonies in the South Pacific region, but now the Great Song Dynasty people are involved in John Bull, and those "human spirits" in Yingjiang's family have taken another part of the "Monroe Doctrine" and said it.
So why did the Jews and the elder Morgan lobby the president to make a statement that he would abide by the treaty he had signed before?
In the final analysis, it is still inseparable from interests! Those Yankees who want to get rid of the treaty are just thinking that the domestic market of Eagle Sauce can still provide objective profits at this time, and they can't afford to buy gas for a few raw material production areas in the South Pacific region and the sun does not set.
But the more far-sighted capitalists, such as Morgan Sr., were already aware of the seismic changes that the Second Industrial Revolution was about to bring. Existing markets will soon be overwhelmed by the productivity gains of new technologies, and new dumping grounds for products will have to be found. The British, who have been controlling most of the world's raw material market, can compete with them without updating their technology, and even if they win, their profits will be greatly reduced.
Of course, at this stage, the contradictions have not intensified to the point where a major fight is necessary to re-cut the world's colonies.
And as an emerging country, Eagle Sauce does not want to be a thorn in the pan to challenge the world colonial order established by the sunset. In the history of the original time and space, Germany, another emerging country that was more thirsty for markets and raw materials, couldn't help but jump out and be the thorn in the end.
And the "actuary" of the Eagle Sauce family finally chose an auspicious day of the zodiac to join the battle after a meal, well, beat that thorn head with the sun and then pick up the cheap.
However, the situation is a little different in this time and space, and the thorn head that dares to challenge the sun never sets seems to have appeared in advance, and it looks like it is quite capable of fighting!
The "human spirits" in Eagle Sauce's family who can share the dividends of the second industrial revolution pinched their fingers and came to such a conclusion - they must help the thorn head, but they must keep a distance that can get out at any time.
Obviously, those people thought that the 38th Task Force of the Great Song Dynasty was really too close to Manila now, and it was not good that it would harm the pond fish.
"How? Are the Yankees willing to pay? Zhao Yi asked Huang Xiaolei anxiously, at this time, the highlight representing the "Sea Giant" had moved several squares in the direction of Manila on the electronic screen.
"The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny, and those 'human spirits' have said that they have no way to assist us in our upcoming military operation against the Spaniards, and that they will continue to seek the possibility of a diplomatic solution to the British authorities' detention of their fleet." Huang Xiaolei said.
"I'll go, they're all as good as monkeys, now what are we going to do? Our Dreadnought 2-class destroyer has bypassed the Dark Sands of Great-Mother and is preparing to enter the Sulu Sea! Luo Can said.
"Cold salad, what else can I do? Take in the sights of Manila Bay for two days and then go shopping in Hong Kong with the Sea Giant. Zhao Yi said.
No one pays for this battle, it must not be fought, this is so much diesel fuel has been wasted, do you still have to pay for ammunition inside?
