"Do you think you can represent the United States of America? Is that true? Who are you? Apart from Mr. Hay, are others related to diplomacy? You have the authorization of the president, but they are just the president's personal meaning. The Congress doesn't know it, so that's fine. I can ignore you at all. Because your identity and everything you said tonight are shameless. At least I know that your current Secretary of State, Mr. Sherman, opposes the use of force against Spain. If these things are heard today, what do you plan to end? Of course, you can bet, Mr. Sherman is indifferent. People think that your delegation is just a traveling tour to see old friends."

"Even if we sell the two warships to the Spanish, will we get into evil with the United States? What do we think? The battle with Spain is only the opinion of you or a small number of people led by the president. If the Spanish Navy has made great progress, it is hard to say whether this war can be fought. You can remember my grudges, but it has no effect at all. Because if you cannot take power, it will be just personal hatred, and I don't care at all."

"Of course, there is another possibility, that is, you later took power and then started a war with Spain. The Spanish fleet now has 2 ironclad ships, 2 Munich-type armored cruisers, and 2 new ten-ton armored cruisers. It is hard to say whether they can defend the West Indies, but it is okay to defend the Philippines. If you are willing to accept this result, it is OK."

"You can put the blame on me, saying that I support Spain, which has led to the United States not doing its best, and is the enemy of the United States. But there will be a schedule on the table of your political enemies to your arrival in Germany, everything from your passing customs to visiting me has records, and your signature will be yours, and then your political enemies will ask, Since you have come to Germany and met the head, why did you not stop this from happening?"

"Of course, you will defend yourself, but sometimes the facts are not that important, because in the end you failed to stop these two warships from entering Spain. This is your fault. Sometimes things like politics cannot be explained clearly. You can bet that you can pass this level."

"By the way, I forgot to say, I am different from you. I will become the king, and my eldest son will inherit my throne. Whether your identity today can be retained until tomorrow is a question. When national or political interests are needed, your ending will be abandoned. I can gamble, can you?"

"From the national perspective, your arrogance and incompetence have led to the Philippines' missed, and from the personal perspective, your hatred and resentment have no effect on me. Politically, they prefer successful people, not losers. If you lose the Philippines and only gain the West Indies, then tell me, are you considered winners?" Prince Ruprecht said jokingly.

"We are not a threat. We are here for the friendship between the two countries..." Daye put on his glasses and said slowly, trying to ease the current tense atmosphere.

"Then take practical actions. My conditions cannot be said to be unreal. You don't need to pay any cost. Just a document and a fairly good offer. The money does not have to be paid by the United States. Are you still not satisfied? Try to make money by making money from me by making money. Are you thinking too much?" Prince Ruprecht waved his hand and said.

"This transaction is easy to go on, and I am willing to sell you face, okay, or sell you face to the United States. But your attitude is really bad! You have two choices now, one is to bring what I want. The other is that I contact President McKinley through diplomatic channels, change a group of people, or I go to the United States to discuss in person. You can do it." After saying that, the prince stood up and turned around and left. He didn't have so much time to talk to the other party.

"By the way, the official bidding will start next week. You don't have much time." Before leaving, Ruprecht kindly reminded the Americans.

"We seem to have failed to talk? Mr. Roosevelt, your words may have stimulated the other party. After all, he is a prince, and he is the kind of person with real power. He can be willful. But we cannot." After returning to the hotel where he was staying, Day looked at Roosevelt with some dissatisfaction and said.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we do what he said, everything will disappear. This prince attaches importance to interests. We always have ways to recover, and this matter is nothing. What I am worried about is whether our strategy is really a problem. The other party seems to know something, but he doesn't intend to tell us." Roosevelt didn't care about Day's accusations. He exposed it lightly.

"Do you really believe what the prince said? If these two warships are eventually bought by the Japanese, our future plans will be sure. The British have promised to adhere to the principle of neutrality. I think he is bluffing!" Ambassador Hay said with a smile on his lips.

"If someone else said these words, I agree with you, but if you understand his past, you can find that this prince has never made any mistakes in the general direction! Whether it is business or grasping the situation! He almost predicted the process and ending of the entire Qing and Japanese war."

"If it's just predictions, then there's nothing wrong. After all, there are people who can guess it casually, but he is serious and has made arrangements based on various stages. He has blocked Japanese government bonds and bought the Japanese silver market at the bottom. He accurately predicted the direction of things and gained a lot of benefits from it. My friend in the business world mentioned before coming, don't try to make him surrender, because he doesn't look down on this little money at all!" said Theodore Roosevelt.

"Who is your friend?" Wilson, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Old Rockefeller," said Roosevelt.

"It seems that we have encountered a powerful opponent. We should contact the British. In the issue of preventing warships from falling into the hands of the Spanish, our interests are consistent." Hay himself is inclined to Britain, and in this case he will naturally choose to cooperate with the British.

"Let me and Mr. Wilson go for this matter. You are the president's legal counsel and the other is the deputy director of the Admiralty. Such a diplomatic occasion is not suitable for you." Hay thought for a while and said.
