Chapter 227 Late Decision
"By the way, Brazilian Nagada, didn't you buy two new German armored cruisers? We'll just buy them?" Dai said with a row of heads!
Who is the United States? Except for the fact that his navy was not good, he was bullied by the British in South America - Chile, who was the boss in the whole America! Since the introduction of the Monroeism, even those old empires have restrained a lot in the Americas, and it is not difficult to buy warships from Brazil!
Of course, because the amount involved is a bit large, it may not be finalized in a while, but it doesn't matter. Let me ask first, once I decide to buy it, I will take it down immediately. Based on this idea, Day sent a telegram to the US ambassador to Brazil. A day later, when the US ambassador to Brazil sent the telegram back, Day's three souls and six spirits were dispersed in half!
"The Brazilians did not receive these two warships at all. After the warships were handed over to Britain, Brazil did not ask about it anymore? What's going on?" Day asked like an angry lion! Then he immediately summoned the Brazilian ambassador to the United States to inquire about this matter.
At this time, the Brazilians also regretted it. Brazil thought it would be a victim. What did the British come and said that at that time? Let Brazil come forward to help purchase two warships, and then Japan paid some commissions, and the British were assured. Japan was so far away from the Americas, and even if something happened, it would not care about Brazil. So the Brazilian government at that time agreed due to the British's face.
After agreeing, who would have thought that the boss of America had a fight with the Japanese? The British were not easy to mess with, were Americans easy to get along with? So when Americans asked about this, the first thing the Brazilians did was to cover it up immediately and then throw the blame directly on the British. The warship belonged to the British. You can talk to the British!
"Damn!" When the Brazilian finally couldn't withstand the pressure from the United States and brought the whole truth, Day felt a sweet throat, and then his eyes turned dark and he almost stopped. This blow was a big blow!
"Tell Roosevelt, let him withdraw the fleet immediately! The Japanese already have 4 German armored cruisers, we can't beat them!" Now Day knows where the Japanese's confidence comes from. This is the first sentence after Day woke up. But unfortunately it's too late!
"Despicable British! Despicable! Shameless! Vulgar!" Roosevelt angrily threw Day's report on the table. The feeling of being betrayed made him angry. The British played with himself and the whole United States in their palms like playing monkeys!
Brazil's intelligence is already very clear. The Japanese and British began to plot against the Americans after the end of the Qing-Japanese War. The Japanese's military was not aimed at Russia at all! They targeted the Philippines! Compared to the giant Russia, Spain is nothing, and the Philippines is too far from Europe, which is definitely a very easy target to succeed. Americans know, and Japanese know too!
The Americans have revealed their intentions for the Spanish colony to the British. Hay, a fool, was proud after receiving the so-called neutrality guarantees of the British! The British helped the Japanese buy warships, even if they were not British own.
The British gave money and helped find connections. This was really comprehensive! What's even more annoying is that the Americans even regarded Britain as a friend! It wouldn't be possible to be humiliated once. When Russia gave up the two warships, the Americans were once again humiliated by this so-called "friend"! They actually helped their biggest enemy acquire two other German armored cruisers!
Originally, if Japan had only two armored cruisers, it would be within the scope of the US Far East Fleet. If these were better, the Japanese had four, and two of them were sent by the Americans! This TM would not bring such a slap in the face!
Moreover, this secret will be fatal to the political future of all those who participated in this matter. Although there is not much contact between the United States and Britain and the British knows very limited, one person has mastered all the content and even left the most critical text and image materials. "He must know the result!" Roosevelt said fiercely.
However, it is obvious that compared to personal gains and losses, Roosevelt valued more the issue of what to do with the US Navy now! It is not strong enough! It can't beat it! However, before that, Roosevelt still had a glimmer of hope and wanted to hear the opinions of professionals. So he went to Florida, the US Fleet's residence, and at the same time reported this information to Dewey and the senior management of the United States.
But unfortunately, it was too late at this time! Because after Roosevelt sent this telegram, there were only 2 hours left before the outbreak of the Suluhai War! And when the telegram was sent to Sheli, Sheli had been in Hamburg for 2 days! Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.
Speaking of Florida, when Simpson saw this telegram, he spit out a few words: "Absolutely not to fight!" This lieutenant general has quite a understanding of the combat quality of the US Navy. After comparing the performance data of German, Beiyang and Japanese artillery in the Qing and Japanese war, the lieutenant general believed that even if the water inside was squeezed out and the data was cut off by two-thirds, his performance was still better than most of the US Navy's warships.
Now the Japanese Navy has already suppressed the US and Russian fleets, and the quality of the officers and soldiers is not as good as that. If this fight begins, the Americans will not even lose their shorts? Of course, Roosevelt has guessed some of this result, but the most important thing now is what to do now!
Yes, what should I do? The Japanese are now dominant, and more importantly, the Japanese government seems to be really fighting the US Navy in order to take away the Philippines. Just before he came, he had just received a document forwarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Japanese had issued an ultimatum. This is a sign of opening a film!
"What else can we do? We don't know how to solve the problem of the Spanish when we go to the Far East, and it's even more distant. We either withdraw our fleet to Samoa, or buy new warships immediately, including active warships. It's better not to declare war on the Japanese now to avoid stimulating our opponents." Simpson's answer was straightforward.
"Where did you ask me to buy it now?" Roosevelt said angrily.
"The things you did back then have problems now. Do you want to escape?" Lieutenant General Simpson has an understanding of some of the things that happened back then. Now aren't these things done by these politicians at the time? "These guys will be bad things!" Lieutenant General Simpson said in his heart.
"I understand. I will send a telegram to the Ambassador to Germany now. I will go to Bavaria in 3 days!" said Roosevelt.
"In 3 days? If you really want to go, I can arrange a boat for you tonight." Simpson sneered.
"Okay, okay, okay." Roosevelt didn't know what he should say now. He suddenly realized that he was in vain for the Navy again. He almost became a public enemy after spending a long time! I also made many reforms for the country and for the Navy. How could you do this? Roosevelt was so wronged.
Chapter completed!
