"Do you know who will benefit the most after the war ends?" said U.S. Secretary of State Richard Olney, who looked at Theodore Roosevelt in front of him.

"I think it was Russia. After the end of the Qing and Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty, as the failed party, would naturally become even more exhausted. Japan received the most compensation to make up for the loopholes in the war and some of the convenience of trade. With the help of the Germans, Russia won the favor of the Qing Dynasty on the one hand, and on the other hand, it greatly suppressed potential opponents. At the same time, it gained a lot of economic benefits." Roosevelt said after pondering for a moment.

"Then how do you think our United States of America benefits from this war?" Olney continued.

"We have made some money. The door of the Qing Dynasty has been further opened, and our goods and capital can pour in. Although investment in Japanese bonds may be just a small profit, it cannot be considered a loss. Moreover, we have also cooperated with the Japanese government. In the future, the relationship between the two sides will be closer in the Far East. Although there is no big profit, maybe the profit may not be as good as Germany, but it cannot be considered a loss, right?" Roosevelt said with a smile.

"You're right! We're losing this time! The little profit we got in Japan was not enough to make up for our losses. The Russians began to penetrate into the northeast, Germany gained economic benefits on the southeast coast and Shandong, and France consolidated its influence on the southwest. The Yangtze River Basin is the British sphere of influence. What did we get? Japan got a convenience of trade, and this convenience is still universal! We actually didn't get anything!"

"As for the friendship between the Japanese government? This is even more a joke. What qualifications does the weak Japan have to obtain the friendship between the United States of America? What can they help us? Our navy has no base in the Far East, so there is no right to speak. As long as Russia, Germany and France are together, no one can shake this."

"In addition, let me tell you again that the Japanese finally chose to turn completely to the United Kingdom. What we have already negotiated with Japan, what we are going to negotiate, and all the exchanges of interests that we intend to discuss have turned into ashes! The Japanese would rather show kindness to the Germans who had beaten them than give us some benefits! Do you know why? Because we have no influence on the Far East, we have no fleets deployed in the Far East! They think we are easy to bully, and I have said that these bastards cannot interact! This is what they did when they caused us trouble in Hawaii, they are wolf!"

Olney gradually looked excited and said angrily! Theodore Roosevelt on the opposite side could only listen silently. It turned out that he was originally inclined to support Japan and Russia. But now, after the war, Russia has not only not been suppressed, but has a tendency to grow bigger. Japan, which wants to be friends, has completely left the United States. Of course, some basic economic and trade exchanges continue, and even expand a little, but if you want to talk about political mutual assistance and assistance, let it go.

Japan is just a little bit of money now. The British are a little too small to go in. They have to share some money for Germany and France. The United States can't even share some of the remaining soup. As Roosevelt said, the United States still made some money this time, but its ideals are beautiful and its reality is very backbone. The things he got after wasting for a long time were not satisfactory. Roosevelt could only endure Olney's accusations. Who made him fail to do things himself? He would take the blame if he did something wrong. This is a very normal thing.

"Did you realize your mistake?" Olney said with a glance at the other party.

"Forget it, someone will take the blame for you. Compared with the redundant staff of the Admiralty, you are still enterprising and will be of great help to this country. But remember, from now on, you must be careful of the Japanese! Be sure to be careful of the Japanese! If the Japanese lose, they will not die. If the Russians lose, then the Far East will become the world of Britain and Japan. So even if the Russians cannot win, they cannot let Japan win at the same time. Do you understand?" Orny said word by word.

"In fact, to change our unfavorable situation in the Far East, we have to rely on ourselves. Do you understand what I mean?" Roosevelt said something inexplicable to outsiders.

"I will talk about this later, at least not now. We need time to prepare. And by then, maybe I will no longer be in this position, but I will still support you, my friend." Olney said sincerely. This touched Roosevelt very much.

I don’t know what the documents Ito Hirobuki asked British Prime Minister Saltzpoly to personally disassemble. Not long after it was sent out, it took about a month to send it to Chamberlain instructed him to fully cooperate with the Japanese's actions.

Of course, this cooperation is just like that. Don’t think about cede land, Japan can’t get a single inch of territory. But on the issue of compensation, Britain and Japan stand together, and they have to fight for it little by little! The two sides even negotiate little by little by little by little by little by little.

This time, the British spent a lot of money, and even gave up some of the benefits they had originally planned to take on themselves. The Russians should not think about it, they would not let go. Germany and France still have room for operation, and the British said it well.

"See, have you seen me, you can't produce anything now. He is preparing to fight in the future and needs industry and various equipment. The Qing Dynasty's money has arrived at him and will be sent to you in a circle? So what if you give up some? You have already tossed the Japanese colonies, and the trade treaty has become universal. We have also gained benefits from the Qing Dynasty. Stay at the front line of life and meet in the future?"

Germany and France think about it, and helping Russia shake flags and shouts get some benefits, but it feels a little bit less, so it would be better to get some benefits from the Japanese. Besides, what is the relationship between Germany and France? That is the enemy of life and death! It would be good not to say a few harsh words to each other when they meet. It is a miracle to be able to sit together this time. Everyone is afraid that the other party will speak first and then suffer losses themselves.

The British diplomatic methods were indeed worthy of being master-level. They fought and pulled and were so scared that they really made him find a breakthrough. After Japan expressed their willingness to buy a batch of army rapid-fire guns and shell production lines from Germany, the German government finally relaxed. Of course, this order had little to do with Ruprecht. They bought Krupp artillery, and Ruprecht had no other benefits than those patent fees. The German representative said that he could consider Japan's claim for compensation. Once this gap appeared, the concession of the Three Kingdoms Alliance became inevitable.
