Chapter 163： Same bed with different dreams (1/2)
The Americans eventually came together with Britain and Japan. Ambassador Hay thinks that he knows the British, but in fact the British and Japanese know the demands of the Americans, and the Americans do not know the demands and bottom line of the other. When the two sides started cooperating, the Americans had already suffered. Of course, if only from the current situation, it was only a loss.
”At present, based on the analysis of the intelligence we have obtained, Prince Ruprecht's attitude towards us is very unfriendly. We have tried to contact the German central government and the Bavarian government, but the effect is minimal. The Germans decide whichever price is higher. Get it,” said Lord Hamilton.
”To some extent, our interests are the same. It is our fundamental goal to prevent the Spaniards from acquiring these two warships. In order to achieve this goal, I think your country should also fulfill its obligations. After all, your country We are all very clear about the demands of this. Two 10,000-ton-class warships must have put a lot of pressure on your country, right?” Mutsuzong Guang was on the side drums.
”Not letting the Spanish get it and letting your country get it is completely different. Although the Russians tore up the treaty, it is clear that the prince hates Japan far more than Russia, and the Russians are ready to pay enough. The price of getting back what originally belonged to them, if fair competition, I don’t think Japan’s financial resources can compare with Russia. After all, you just fought a money-losing war!”
After seeing the friendliness of the Germans and the difficulties made by the British, even Wilson, who had a good impression of Britain, couldn’t help it. Although he hated the German system and feudal kings, he believed that the United States was the model of civilized society, and Britain and the United States were natural allies. However, in the face of the conditions of the British, he couldn't help it. He put his face on his face. The cold **** is not Wilson's style.
”That’s very good. According to what you said, preventing the Russians from acquiring them and allowing the Spanish to acquire them are the same two concepts for the Japanese Empire. Even if the Russians acquire two warships, they still can’t obtain both British and Japanese in the Far East. The advantages of the two navies. We are not enthusiastic about the attitude of the two warships. If it is not because the price is cheap enough, we can completely give up. Accept the reality that the Spanish bought it.” Mutsuzong said with a smile, as a Japanese diplomacy Top figure. It was enough to deal with Hay and the fledgling Wilson.
”But...” Haye looked at the smiling Lord Hamilton in surprise, who silently supported the Japanese representative. But obviously, this kind of support makes Hay a little angry.
”We have not violated our mutual agreement. We are only neutral, and we are not obliged to help your country. The affairs of each country should be resolved by the country concerned. Shouldn't it?” Lord Hamilton said with a smile.
”The British are really untrustworthy.” Wilson, who was watching coldly, silently labelled the British government, but to be honest, the British did not breach the contract. They were neutral. The result of the Spanish and American wars depends on their ability. The British do not help each other. . It's just that the Americans understand that there is a problem, and the British will not be responsible if there is a problem.
If Ruprecht were here, he would not be surprised at all. In history, the British always wanted to give extreme egoists, and the United States helped the Allies win the First World War. But the Americans did not get any benefits at the Paris Peace Conference. During the interwar, in order to balance the influence of France in Europe, the British and Moustache came together and made an opening in naval construction. These facts all prove that the British are clever in taking advantage of loopholes and playing tricks! Yin people are normal, but non-yin people are against common sense!
Of course, Ruprecht’s retention of American intelligence is also a very important reason. In order to increase the urgency of the Russians, Prince Ruprecht showed the Russians a copy of the Japanese agreement and used this as a starting point. . To induce the Russians to consider the problem in the most dangerous direction. But for Americans? His Royal Highness didn't trust him, and everything he did was not a so-called close relationship. Since it was a use, it was natural to let the other party know. Some do not let the other party know. Therefore, Americans do not know the urgency of the Japanese.
