Chapter 162: You cant afford it! (1/2)
”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.
