Chapter 295 Germany and the United States join forces

"The Germans are going to take action!" President William McKinley said to Theodore Roosevelt next to him after reading the secret letter sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "Prince Ruprecht asked us to do things as we had agreed before."

"This letter is signed by Prince Ruprecht, and there is also a private seal of the German Emperor. This shows that a consensus has been reached within Germany. The prince is responsible for contacting the United States, and the German Emperor is willing to endorse it." Dai, who was standing by, looked carefully at the signature and signature above and said.

"Then let's do everything as agreed in advance, Day, my friend, please greet me and the members of the Senate and House of Representatives." McKinley said calmly, as if discussing a very ordinary topic like what to eat tonight, but a major event related to the cooperation between the two countries.

"Okay, I will go to the Speaker of the Senate with Secretary Day tonight." Looking at Day, who was surprised and even hesitant, Roosevelt immediately made an excuse.

"Then prepare to go. The United States must let other powers know our status and strength!" McKinley nodded and signaled that the two could go down. Day wanted to stay, but Roosevelt pulled him out of the president's office.

"A big thing has been settled so hasty. McKinley is too extreme! Why don't you let me persuade the President and let him make a long-term plan? This matter may lead to joint suppression of European countries." Day immediately furiously said to Roosevelt after walking out of the living room.

"What do you think? The agreement signed was abolished?" Roosevelt said with a funny look at the thin old man in front of him. "Don't forget that this is a reciprocal agreement. Only when we help the Germans can Germany lend us the ports in Western Samoa and Bismarck Islands for use after the event, so that our navy can regain the land of the Far East."

"Our navy must return to the Far East. This is a established national policy! It cannot be changed! Whether it is the president, the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, or all Americans are wondering when we will return to the Far East! Whoever opposes or stops it, then their result will be crushed. Do you understand?" Roosevelt's face changed and he said seriously. "For the sake of the port, we must obtain the support of the Germans, so we must implement the agreement!"

The Americans were really anxious this time. If it weren’t for beating the Spaniards and taking the fig leaf of the West Indies, then the United States would be so embarrassing that the United States would be thrown into grandma’s house this time. Decades of glory and confidence were instantly shattered. The Americans are now the world’s largest industrial world, and their national strength is booming. They were thinking about how to show their strength. As a result, the little dwarf who was beaten back in the Far East was beaten back. How could this be!

And behind this, the British stabbed the knife, and the Americans felt that their kindness was feeding the dog! Especially when Japan arrogantly occupied the United States and Samoa, the British said they accepted this result. The relationship between the United States and Britain and Japan was so deteriorating that it was almost time to start a war!

It's not right. In fact, the United States and Britain have already fought in South Africa, so it should be said that they are about to declare war. And now the election is about to be held, President McKinley is still thinking about being re-election, and Roosevelt is still planning to be vice president. The Spanish-American War has been dealt with, so now we need to find a way to make up for it and develop some political achievements project.

Facts have proved that if the political achievements project is done well, then there will be hope for re-election. Haven’t you seen that in history, the big things in the United States, such big loopholes, and so big responsibilities, but Bush Jr. won’t he make all profits after fighting Afghanistan? Who will remember to hold the loopholes and responsibilities of the building hit?

Therefore, whether from the perspective of the United States or from the perspective of President McKinley and his party, the United States urgently needs to make some moves. The document sent by the Germans gave Americans a chance, not that Americans want to help the Germans, but that the rewards of the Germans made the United States unable to give up!

"But we also need to consider diplomatic needs." Day is not unaware of these things, but as a lawyer-born secretary of state, he still doesn't want to be very stale with other countries.

"Diplomatic? Haha, this happens to be the least thing to consider, because we have no other choice." Roosevelt sneered. "We are dead in Britain and Japan, and there is no need to consider their attitude. In order to fight against the Japanese, the Russians need our support and the Germans, so Russia will not object. Will the allies of Austro-Hungarian and Italian-style Germans stand up for Portugal? As for other small countries, there is no need to consider it!"

"Where are the French? The French are the feud of the Germans!" said Day.

"So what? Our relationship with the French is not very good now! The French have already started to retaliate because of our economic loans to Russia. The French think we are soft persimmons, and they want to come up and pinch! Concessions cannot solve the problem. Is it necessary to ease the relationship with France at the cost of the relationship between the United States and the United States?"

"This..." Day suddenly found that what Roosevelt said was very reasonable! He had no way to refute. After the Spanish-American War, Americans really had few choices in diplomacy. There were only a few big countries in the world, Britain and Japan were mortal enemies, Russia was a partner, France had been tearing up with the Americans due to economic interests, Austria-Hungary and Italy were allies of Germany. If you offend Germany, Austria-I will not give you a good face. The situation is so tragic, so the United States naturally has no choice!

"So, is McKinley going to form an alliance with the Germans?" Day said with a wry smile.

"It's not our government. Before we kill the Japanese, before Britain and Japan stand together, we all have to form an alliance with the Germans. This is the bottom line. Anyone who dares to touch them will die miserably!" Roosevelt said meaningfully.

If Roosevelt was a little disgusted with Germany two years ago and had a lot of resentment towards the prince, then Roosevelt is now an advocate of the United States and Germany alliance. This is not only a political matter, but more because of economic interests!

The economic contradiction between the United States and Germany is not irreconcilable. Americans have resources and industrial products are relatively low-level. Germans have obvious advantages in electrical appliances and optical equipment, and can fully achieve resource complementarity. Especially the Bavarian royal family and Mobil Oil Company signed an oil order agreement. After the German government and the US government reached an agreement on copper mine imports, the cooperation between the two parties has reached a higher level.
