Chapter 190: Discuss something with you

Realizing that the meat from his mouth might be robbed, the bald eagle moved very quickly. Several transoceanic telegrams were shot. Hay, as the US ambassador to the UK, immediately consulted with the British side, but he was unexpected. Yes, the British, who were very good at talking, were a little bit shy about America's request this time.

  It is said that the United States and Britain share the same origin! It’s said that everyone is a Saga country! It is said that everyone is like a friendship between brothers! Why did you wither when something happened? Doesn’t it mean that the US fleet wants to take a round trip to the Far East? Then use your port to buy some of your supplies, as for? Hay was indignant.

Of course Hay didn’t know about Roosevelt’s plan, but he was an ambassador to the United Kingdom, and the battle with Spain was finalized, so naturally he couldn’t spread it out at will, so Hay was not clear about the plan of this fleet. of. But he doesn't know it, it doesn't mean that the British can't guess!

  "This matter can't be consumed all the time. The Americans are going crazy." The British Foreign Secretary has repeatedly reported this matter after finding Prime Minister Salisbury. The American ambassador is about to go violently, and the United Kingdom always has to give people an answer.

   "Of course I want to give him an answer. Isn't it bad to give it?" Salisbury was also depressed to death. What are the Americans coming over at this time? Combining the information obtained, the British also discovered the American thoughts. The Americans have great ambitions! What they call to make a break with the Spanish is not only about the West Indies, but the Philippines, which is thousands of miles away, also doesn't plan to let it go.

  But the British agreed to occupy this place by Japan. Who is Japan? My little brother, godson! What if the United States and Britain have the same text and the same species? Dad and son have fought more than once. This thing is just talking. If you fool around with public opinion, how can you take it seriously. Besides, the British dad still wants the Japanese to beat the Russians. If you don't give a good point, will Japan help you?

  If the United States and Japan are developing toward alliances, then Britain and the United States have no potential to become alliances, at least it seems that way now. As a new capitalist power, the United States also has to expand and find markets. The British and other veteran capitalist powers have done well in East Asia. Why should you Americans intervene? Historically, the British made concessions because of the bad relations between Britain and Germany, but also because the Americans were indeed strong. It makes the British feel uncomfortable.

  As for this plane, the Americans are still powerful and still not easy to handle, but the interests between Britain and Japan have been overwhelmed by the interests between the United States and Britain. Japan must be supported. Otherwise, who will block the Russian bear in the north? The development of the Japanese needs raw materials, markets, and colonies. Without this, how can Japan fight Russia? So even if they don't want to, this time the British will stand by Japan. It is affirmative to reject the request of the United States, but how to reject it is a matter of diplomatic art.

  After all, the ones that should come will come back. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can’t solve the problems, they will have to take care of themselves. The attitude of the British is still quite sufficient. Is it enough for the Prime Minister to help you solve the problem yourself? The British, who pretend to be gentlemen, are still very considerate in etiquette. And this also makes the American anger a little lower.

   "Fuck! What do you mean?" The American anger went down a bit, but when Salisbury saw the fleet the Americans wanted to send, the British anger went up again! "This American intends to transfer half of the US Navy! 1 10,000-ton battleship, 2 first-class armored cruisers. 2 first-class protective cruisers, 3 second-class protective cruisers! This TM is ready to open the film. Who do you think you are just going around? Are you planning to stay for a few months? What do you want to do?"

   "Do you call travel? Or demonstration? Or have other purposes?" Salisbury said with a gloomy face holding the list of US fleets in his hand. The strength of this fleet has approached the British Far East Fleet, and the ghost believes that such a huge fleet came to the Far East and stayed for a few months just to wander around.

"This is just an ocean-going training. As you know, the U.S. fleet has never been active in the ocean in large formations. Especially in the East. The future of the United States will be closely related to the Far East. I think it is necessary for the United States to get familiar with the situation in the Far East." When Yi said this, he was a little imaginary. He couldn't live up to the illusion. He also knew that there were some bad people in this operation, but he really didn't know the purpose of this fleet to the Far East. As the ambassador to the United Kingdom, he only needs to do as stated above.

  "Then you will be in Hong Kong for a few months in an ocean-going training session? Training in Hong Kong port? American soldiers training on the shore? What do you want? Being a fool?" Saltsbury cursed in his heart. Of course, you can curse in your heart, but you can never say it. The British are gentlemen, and gentlemen want elegance!

"Your country sends such a fleet to the Far East, and it has been stationed for such a long time. It is necessary to consider the attitudes and reflections of surrounding countries. I think whether it is Russia, France or Germany will have opinions on your country. The situation in the Far East has been It tends to be balanced, and the entry of any force may break this balance." Seeing that Hay wanted to speak, the Prime Minister made a gesture to signal the other party to listen to his words.

"Moreover, the consumption of this fleet is really too great~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are more than 5,000 officers and soldiers on 8 warships alone, as well as some other auxiliary ships, and the coal consumption of these ships is also a big Count, you should know that there is no coal in the southern part of the Qing country, and coal in the northern part is also scarce due to traffic problems. The empire’s coal reserves from Singapore to Hong Kong are only sufficient for the use of the British Empire’s Eastern Fleet and civilian ships. We have no excess coal. It can support the deployment of such a huge fleet in the Far East."

The British really deserve to be a veteran imperialist country. This is a high level statement. Salisbury did not directly reject the American proposal, but first told the Americans from the perspective of the bystander that you would easily cause other countries to do so. His suspicion and bewareness are not good for your America. Then from the perspective of logistical supplies, the British Empire cannot support your fleet in any way. The real high-quality naval coal comes from Europe. The coal used by the British Empire fleet is shipped from the mainland. You have to make sure you use it first, it's useless if you Americans have money!

"We will bring some supply ships. Our pressure on your country will not be as great as you think, and we will only be in East Asia early next year. It will not pose a threat to other countries." Hay explained. Dao, but diplomacy does not depend on how it is said, but on what kind of ethics the other party plays. If Britain is unwilling to live or die, these words will be for nothing.
