Chapter 162: You can't afford it!

"Do you think you can represent the United States of America? Is that true? Who are you? Except for Mr. Hay as a diplomat, are anyone involved in diplomacy? You have the president's authorization in your hands, but it is only the president's personal meaning , Congress doesn’t know, so good. I can ignore you completely. Because of your identity, everything you said tonight is not visible. At least I know that the current Secretary of State of your country, Mr. Sherman, is against Spain. Use force, if these things get to his ears today. How are you going to end it? Of course, you can bet that Mr. Sherman is indifferent. Gambling people think that your delegation is just a trip to Bavaria. friend."

"Even if we sell two warships to the Spaniards, will we be at odds with the United States? What do we think? Fighting with Spain is only the opinion of a small group of people headed by you or the president. If the Spanish navy has a lot to do After the development, it is difficult to say whether this war can be fought. You can remember my hatred, but it has no effect. Because if you cannot be in power, it is just a personal hatred. I don't care at all."

"Of course, there is another possibility, that is that you came to power later and then went to war with Spain. The Spanish fleet now has 2 iron armored ships, 2 Munich armored cruisers, and 2 new 10,000-ton armored cruisers. Can they hold the West? It’s hard to say the Indies, but it’s okay to hold the Philippines. If you are willing to accept this result, you can."

"You can put the blame on me and say that I have supported Spain, which caused the United States to fail to do all its work. It is an enemy of the United States. But on the table of your political opponents there will be a schedule of your arrival in Germany. Everything that went through the customs to visit me is recorded, and there will be your signatures, and then your political opponents will ask, since you have come to Germany and met the principal, why did you not stop this from happening?"

"Of course. You will argue, but sometimes the facts are not so important, because in the end you failed to prevent these two warships from entering Spain. This is your fault. Sometimes things like politics are not clear. You can bet. One, bet you can pass this level."

"By the way, I forgot to say that I am different from you. I will become a king. My eldest son will inherit my throne. And whether your identity today can be retained until tomorrow is a question. When national or political interests require When the time comes, your ending is to be abandoned. I can gamble, can you?"

"From a national point of view, because your arrogance and incompetence caused the Philippines to miss, and from a personal point of view, your hatred or resentment has no effect on me. Politics favors successful people instead of Like losers. If you lose the Philippines and only gain the West Indies, then tell me. Are you a winner?" Prince Ruprecht said jokingly.

  "We are not a threat. We are here for the friendship between the two countries..." Dai Yi helped his glasses and said slowly, trying to ease the current tension.

"Then take practical action. My terms cannot be said to be unreasonable. You don't need to pay any cost. You only need a document and a decent quotation. The money is not paid by the United States. Are you still not satisfied? The means of planting the empty glove white wolf to benefit from me. Do you think too much?" Prince Ruprecht waved his hand and said.

"This transaction is very easy to carry out, and I am willing to sell you a face, well, or sell it to the United States. But your attitude is really bad! You now have two choices. One is to bring what I want. The other is that I contacted President McKinley through diplomatic channels. It doesn’t matter if I change a group of people, or I go to the United States to talk in person. You can figure it out.” The prince stood up and left. He didn’t have so much time to talk to him. The other party slapped.

   "That's right. The official bidding will begin next week, you are running out of time." Before leaving, Ruprecht kindly reminded the Americans.

"We seem to have a mess? Mr. Roosevelt, your words may have irritated the other party. After all, he is a prince, and he is the kind with real power. He can be willful. But we can't." After returning to the hotel where he stayed, Day Looking at Roosevelt with some dissatisfaction, he said.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we do what he says, everything will disappear. The prince values ​​interests. We always have a way to recover. This is nothing. What I worry about is whether our strategy is true. There is a problem. The other party seems to know something, but doesn't intend to tell us." Roosevelt didn't care about Day's accusation. Revealed lightly.

"Do you really believe what the prince said? If these two warships are eventually bought by the Japanese, our future plans will be firm. The British have promised to uphold the principle of neutrality. I think he is bluffing!" Ambassador Hay The corner of his mouth smiled and said.

"If someone else said these things, I would agree with you, but if you understand his past, you can find that the prince has never made a mistake in the general direction! Whether it is business or the grasp of the situation He almost predicted the process and outcome of the entire Qing-Japanese War."

"If it's just a prediction, then it's nothing. After all, everyone can guess right~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but he is serious and has made arrangements according to various stages to block Japanese national debt and Japan He is in the silver market. He has accurately predicted the direction of things and gained a lot of benefits from it. My friends in the business community mentioned before they came, don’t try to make him succumb with money, because He doesn't like this money at all!" Theodore Roosevelt said.

  "Which is your friend?" Wilson, who had not spoken, said.

   "Old Rockefeller." Roosevelt said.

"It seems that we have encountered a formidable opponent. We should contact the British. Our interests are the same on the issue of preventing warships from falling into the hands of the Spanish." Hay itself is leaning towards Britain. In this case, I would naturally choose to cooperate with the British.

  "Let me go with Mr. Wilson on this matter. You are the legal counsel of the president and the undersecretary of the Navy. This kind of diplomatic occasion is not suitable for you." Haye thought for a while and said.
