Diplomacy is a thing full of twists and turns, brain teasers, traps and troubles. When one country drives a warship to another country with a similar warship, especially when the relationship between these two countries is not very good, there will be more troubles in it!

Although there are special diplomats to deal with diplomatic matters, the performance of His Royal Highness the Prince was too eye-catching a while ago! It fired the first shot of the European Navy since the end of the Battle of Lisa! And it was extraordinary with one move, and it directly smashed the two British-made dome cruisers to pieces! While embarrassing the British and scaring the Japanese, it also made the Americans across the ocean feel a little nervous!

The US Navy is on the eve of violent troops, which is the darkest moment before dawn! When the German Navy added 7 armored cruisers in one go, four 10,000-ton offshore defense battleships of the US Navy were still built in the shipyard. Among the cruisers, only the New York can be used to show off, and it is also the type that can only show off and immediately reveal the situation when the battle is fought!

Just the second day after Ruprecht beat the Japanese fleet, Brigadier General Dewey, commander of the Far East Fleet, sent a telegram to the battle situation. On the fourth day, the U.S. Navy Department specifically discussed what to do in the Far East in the future. If Ruprecht knew the result of the discussion, it would definitely surprise Ruprecht! Because the United States decided to restrain Di in the Pacific region! In other words, it was a conditional confession!

What is the US Navy doing in history? Ruprecht is very clear. If the British Navy is a tiger in the mountains, then the US Navy is a monkey in the mountains (no tiger in the mountains is called king.) The powerful Americans not only beat the weak Spain in 1898 in 100 days, but also scared away Germany, which was also drooling at the Philippines. After the Battle of Tsushima, they organized a great white fleet to travel around the world, which scared Japan to a great scare...

Although the quality of the US Navy can only be considered a second-rate level before World War 1. The fundamental reason why the Americans could win in the Spanish-American War was that the Spanish were too bad! But none of this could stop the US Navy from using the world as a stage for more than ten years!

But the current situation does not seem to allow the Americans to do so. First of all, the strong combat effectiveness of the Germans made the US Navy afraid. In the telegram, Dewey clearly stated that any two American cruisers will not perform better than the Japanese fleet when facing a USS Munich armored cruiser!

This is not the only few cruisers in the country in 1898? The majestic Brooklyn and the Olympics with outstanding military achievements are still on the boat! Dewey just said nothing: "If the United States and Germany confront each other in Samoa again, then the US government will be waiting to collect the body of the US military!"

The German Navy now has 7 7,500-ton cruisers that can be deployed worldwide. How many US Navy has? Even if three Indiana and one USS Iowa battleship are in service, this 10,000-ton offshore defense battleship is not suitable for ocean deployment! The range is too short, the freeboard is too low, the trial sailing ability is poor, and the speed is slow. This makes these warships able to fight in the nearshore, but it is better to wash and sleep in the ocean combat. And at this time, the biggest dispute between the United States and Germany is, isn’t it a escalation of conflict with the battleship?

Moreover, while the British were worried that Germany and Russia would get closer, the Americans were also worried that Germany and Russia would get closer to the impact on the Far East. The British were indeed powerful and were not afraid of facing any country in the Far East. However, once two or even three powerful countries joined forces, the situation would be different! When the Three Kingdoms interfered and returned to Liao, the British did not even mediate, and they were completely busy with you. I just looked at it. The British were all cowardly, how do you still expect the Americans to be strong in the Far East? To talk about the foundation of the great powers in the Far East, Britain and Russia were almost equal, France was the next level, and Germany was the third level.

Of course, there is another reason why the United States and Germany are not in line with each other now, that is, the US Navy, or a small group of people in the Navy Department are planning to attack Spain. Cuba and the Philippines are the first and second goals of the Americans! In this case, the Americans do not want to cause trouble. This comes from Ruprecht's speculation. After all, the tension between the United States and Spain in history did not start in 1898! And to say, the United States had no idea about the Spanish colony before, but Ruprecht did not believe it anyway!

In short, based on the above reasons, the US government decided to take this opportunity to ease the conflict between the United States and Germany! There is a kind of friendship relationship in the world that is formed in this way. The conflict between the two sides is not very big, and they cannot do anything to each other for the time being. So when they meet, why don’t they go over and ask, “Friends, are you doing business? After all, no one in this world can’t get along with money!

So in the end, the Americans set a strategy to be neither humble nor arrogant, and to make the dishes! Originally, the German fleet was four armored cruisers, but the Americans thought about it and could not be weak in momentum! The quality was not enough to make up for the quantity! They directly arranged 6 various warships to welcome them! But later they heard that there was only one Munich-class armored cruiser visiting the United States, and the Americans were relaxed. The New York was arranged to welcome them. Just prepare a warship to accompany them!

"What? Deputy Secretary Theodore Roosevelt is coming too? This did not appear in our plan!" Because the one who really had command in the German fleet was a major general, and Lieutenant Simpson was responsible for the reception in the future, and Deputy Secretary Roosevelt did not have any plans to come to San Francisco at the beginning.

"This is not clear, but Vice Minister Roosevelt will visit the German fleet in his private capacity. What purpose does he have is not something we can intervene. We are just soldiers, while Vice Minister Roosevelt is a politician." Dewey was very open-minded. Whoever he met was with didn't have much to do with someone like him!

"Mr. Deputy Minister, is it really necessary for you to do this? In the government's planning, this diplomatic operation is just a routine activity. It is implied that it is best to be a military contact. The Navy Minister and a future king exchanged a little beyond the original scope," said a follower.

"This is just a private meeting. As a future heir to the kingdom, the other party should enjoy a higher level of reception. And I also have a reason to meet! This plays a very important role in the future layout of the United States in the Far East!" Theodore Roosevelt is also a historical celebrity. He can dominate the Spanish-American War. The fierce men who lie down on Spain in 100 days are naturally outstanding! His eyes are not only focused on this diplomatic action! There are many things he needs to touch in advance!
