Chapter 295: Germany and the United States join forces (1/2)
”The Germans are going to act!” President William McKinley said to Theodore Roosevelt next to him after reading the secret letter sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”Prince Ruprecht asked us to do things according to our previous agreement.”
”This letter is signed by Prince Ruprecht, and there is also a private seal of the Kaiser. This shows that a consensus has been reached within Germany. The prince is responsible for contacting the United States, and the Kaiser is willing to do so. Endorsement.” Daye on the side carefully looked at the signature and signature on it and said.
”Then everything is as agreed in advance, Day, my friend, help me greet the members of the Senate and House of Representatives.” McKinley said calmly, as if discussing what to eat tonight This kind of very common topic is a major issue related to cooperation between the two countries.
”Okay, I will visit the Speaker of the Senate with Secretary of State Day tonight.” Looking at Day, who was a little surprised or even hesitant, Roosevelt immediately said with excuses.
”Then get ready to go. The United States must let the other powers know our status and strength!” McKinley nodded, indicating that the two can go down. Originally, Day wanted to stay, but Roosevelt dragged him out. The office of the president.
”Such a big matter was decided so hastily. McKinley is too extreme! Why don't you let me persuade your Excellency the President to make a long-term plan? This matter may cause European countries to jointly suppress it. ”Dy said to Roosevelt immediately after walking out of the meeting room.
”Then what do you want? The original agreement signed is annulled?” Roosevelt looked at the thin old man in front of him with a funny expression. ”Don't forget, this is a reciprocal agreement. Only when we help the Germans will Germany lend us ports in Western Samoa and Bismarck Islands for use, so that our navy can regain a foothold in the Far East. ”
”Our navy must return to the Far East. This is an established national policy! It cannot be changed! Whether it is the president, the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, or all Americans are thinking about when we will return to the Far East! Who opposes, who Stop it, then they will only end up being crushed, do you understand?” Roosevelt's expression changed and he said solemnly. ”For the port, we must get the support of the Germans, and we must implement the agreement!”
The Americans are really anxious this time. If it weren’t for the brutal beating of the Spaniards and taking the fig leaf of the West Indies, then the United States would be ashamed of the grandmother’s house this time, and decades of glory and self-confidence would be beaten instantly. Shattered, the Americans are now No. 1 in the industrial world and their national strength is booming. They are thinking about how to show their fists and kicks. As a result, the Far East was beaten back by the little dwarf he had beaten back. What a shame!
Besides this, there is a British stabbing a knife with a black hand, and the Americans feel that their goodwill *feed the dog! Especially when Japan arbitrarily occupied the U.S.-occupied Samoa, the British expressed acceptance of this result, and the relationship between the U.S. and Britain and Japan deteriorated to the point of war!
No, in fact, the United States and Britain have already fought in South Africa. And now that the general election is about to come, President McKinley still wants to be re-elected, and Roosevelt plans to become vice president. The Spanish-American War has already been dealt with, so now we must quickly find a way to make up for it. Make some achievement projects.
Facts have proved that if the political achievement project is done well, there is hope for re-election. Don’t you see, in the history of the United States, 9/11, such a big thing, such a big loophole, such a big responsibility, as a result, after Bush Jr. fought in Afghanistan Don’t you make it back? At that time, who will remember to investigate the loopholes and responsibility for hitting the building?
