Then go back to the initial problem. When something goes wrong, people always take the blame, just like when going out for a meal, people always ask for someone to pay. According to what ordinary people think, since taking the blame is naturally not that important, but it seems that the weighty person is, how big is the US Navy at that time? How many people can participate in decision-making?

Dewey is a good choice. If he did not participate in the war, but stayed in the United States, then the blame would probably be overwhelmed. After all, he was once the commander of the Far East Fleet of the US Navy. After all, most of the information was collected by him. After all, he agreed to go to war with Japan, and the top leaders were just blinded.

But what happened? Dewey joined the war! And he died in battle! What's more serious is that he died very heroically. Even Essen, who also participated in the naval battle, published an article afterwards saying that he was a real warrior. He killed thousands of American troops with Dewey. They fought to the end. These people used their blood and lives to tell the world that they were worthy of the United States of America. They were the most important fig leaf for political people. They poured sewage on them. No matter whether the men agreed, the US Navy and the families of tens of thousands of dead relatives disagreed. Besides, killing people is just a matter of the beginning, and everyone is dead. Who will chase after the strategic mistakes of their lives?

Dewey is a brigade general and has a high status. Then he is higher than him. It has a direct relationship with this matter. There are not many people who can manage and lead the fleet. Simpson is also a lieutenant general... The final result is that there are only two people who can take the blame, one is General Simpson, and the other is the deputy chief of the U.S. Navy. The name is Theodore Roosevelt!

If personal factors are not taken into account, Roosevelt's probability of taking the blame is much greater than Simpson! First, this decision was finally issued by the Navy Department. As the commander of the US local fleet, Simpson is more important to implement it. Even if he supports this plan, he can find a statement. First, he is not in the Far East and does not know the situation in the Far East. All inferences are based on the intelligence of the Navy Department. Second, he is the commander of the fleet, and he did a good job in fighting the Spanish fleet in Cuba, which is also considered a contribution.

Well, what about Roosevelt? He is the deputy director of the Admiralty, so he has no energy to let the secretary of the Navy push the cylinder... However, he is responsible for daily work, so it is almost a consensus among the navy to let the deputy push the cylinder. And in fact, this decision was indeed led by Roosevelt, so it is not an exaggeration to let him push the cylinder. This is a very just and correct decision.

What's even more fatal is that he accidentally pushed the two main ships that could have joined the Russian or Spanish navy to the Japanese side. The addition of these two warships directly led to the failure of the war. If this matter was turned out, it would be enough to be taken out and shot ten times! This is a complete traitor! And if he only sold it, he had not gained any benefits yet...

If nothing unexpected happens, or if there is no earthquake-level accident, blood and sweat will beat the Spanish fleet, and it will be a certain distance from the decision-making department. Lieutenant General Simpson, who knew that some secret things about Roosevelt would never have any trouble. He reminded Roosevelt to pay attention to the whereabouts of the two warships, reminded Roosevelt to pay attention to the Japanese, and reminded Roosevelt to be careful of the British. Objectively speaking, Simpson did everything he could do!

But the final result was that Simpson took the blame, was forced to retire in disgrace, and then was investigated, almost avoiding prison. Years of hard work turned into a bubble. Glory and passion went with the wind. The fundamental reason for this result was not someone else, but Simpson himself! Because he took the initiative to take the blame! He didn't even say anything to Roosevelt before!

When Roosevelt, who had almost accepted his fate, found Simpson, who was unemployed and promised to guarantee compensation, the latter just shook his head and asked, "Can you make me become a lieutenant general again?" Roosevelt admitted that he couldn't do it. You should know that the US Navy had only 7 captains who could promote a year! He also wanted to make a mistake and become a lieutenant general again. What a joke?

"Can you let me fight the British and Japanese shorts?" Lieutenant General Simpson continued.

"This is impossible." Roosevelt said guiltily.

"Okay, I hope that one day you can avenge us, otherwise I and the naval officers and soldiers who have fought in the Far East will not be able to let you go!" Simpson said at last. The reason for Simpson's decision was only because he believed that Roosevelt was a capable person, a person who could develop the navy, and the most hoped to avenge him. Sometimes people are so noble. Because of these hopes, he took the blame for Roosevelt and then resigned in disgrace. For Roosevelt, this is a favor that cannot be repaid! The glory and sweat of a lieutenant general in his life, and even the future of his descendants, why did you let Roosevelt pay back?

"Why? Why don't you deal with the British? Have you accepted the bribes from the British?" As soon as Roosevelt entered the door, Simpson stood up, walked over quickly, and cursed at Roosevelt's nose.

"How is it possible, as the president of America, I..." Roosevelt felt that his personality was greatly insulted. He retorted sharply.

"Then our President personally ruined the accumulation of the US Navy for more than ten years before taking office?" Simpson said this as a bit threatening. The reason is very simple. He knew some things about Roosevelt, and if he took them out, someone would testify. After all, as a lieutenant general, how could almost be in charge of the US fleet without a team? Marshall did not accept a higher-level military rank because Pershing was a five-star general. Although he stepped down unjustly, Simpson wanted to bring in a bunch of people, especially when he was not short of money.

What's more, what Simpson said was not groundless. The British naturally did not want the United States and Germany to get closer. After all, the industrial capacity of the United States was there, and the British were even more unwilling to turn the allies into an allied group across three continents... Their public relations work was also done well, and bribery and lobbying were the most common things. Some people did take the benefits of the British. Of course, Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, a famous president, did not take it. Not only him, but also the people around him.

Roosevelt is really diligent in his work for the future of the United States of America. Moreover, his judgment direction is indeed correct from the point of view of the time traveler Ruprecht****. If Germany survives the war, don’t be more advantageous, as long as the Treaty of Brest can be implemented, you can look back in 20 years...
