The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 131: Disappointed American

   "Do you know who will benefit the most after this war is over?" The Washington White House, US Secretary of State Richard Olney looked at Theodore Roosevelt in front of him and said.

"I think it's Russia. After the Qing-Japanese War, the Qing will naturally become even more tired as the defeated party. Japan's compensation is at most to make up for the loopholes in the war and some of the convenience of trade. Russia, with the help of the Germans, On the one hand, it won the favor of the Qing country, and on the other hand, it greatly suppressed potential opponents. At the same time, it obtained a lot of economic benefits." Roosevelt said after a moment of thought.

   "Then how do you think our United States of America has benefited from this war?" Olney continued to ask.

"We have made a little bit more. The door of the Qing country has been further opened, and our goods and capital can be poured in. Although the investment in Japanese bonds may be a small profit, it cannot be counted as a loss. And we are more or less with the Japanese government. After cooperation, in the Far East, the relationship between the two parties will be closer in the future. Although there is no big profit, perhaps the profit may not be as good as Germany, but it is not a loss, right?" Roosevelt said with a smile.

"It really made you right! We lost it this time! The little gain we gained in Japan was not enough to make up for our loss. The Russian power began to infiltrate the northeast, and Germany gained economy in the southeast coast and Shandong. Interests, France has consolidated its influence in the southwest. The Yangtze River Basin is the sphere of influence of the British, what have we got? Japan got a trade facility, and this facility is universal! We actually got nothing. !"

"As for the friendship of the Japanese government? This is even more a joke. What qualifications does a weak Japan have for the friendship of the United States of America? What can they help us? Our navy has no base in the Far East and no right to speak. Russia, Germany and France As long as the three countries are together, no one can shake this."

"In addition, let me tell you that the Japanese finally chose to completely fall to the United Kingdom. What we have negotiated with Japan, what is going to be negotiated, and all the exchanges of interest that we intend to talk about will be turned into ashes! Japanese! I would rather show good to the Germans who have beaten them violently, than give us any benefit! Do you know why? Because we have no influence in the Far East, we do not have a fleet deployed in the Far East! They think we are bullies, I said this earlier Assholes are not allowed! They are like this when they trouble us in Hawaii. They are wolves!"

   Olney gradually became excited and said angrily! On the other side, Theodore Roosevelt could only listen silently. It turned out that he was originally inclined to support the Japanese opponent, Russia. Now, after the war, Russia has not been suppressed, but has a tendency to become bigger. Japan, who wanted to be friends, completely left the United States. Of course, some basic economic and trade exchanges are still going on, and even some have expanded. But let's forget about political mutual assistance and assistance.

   Japan now has such a small amount of money, the British are a little too small to go in, and they have to divide some money between Germany and France. The United States can't even share some of the leftovers. As Roosevelt said, the United States still made some money this time, but the ideals are very good, and the reality is the backbone. What I obtained after spending a long time was not satisfactory. As for Olney's accusation, Roosevelt could only endure it. Who would let him be inadequate in doing things himself? It was normal for him to do something wrong.

   "Do you recognize your mistake?" Olney glanced at the other person and said.

"Forget it, someone will help you carry this pot. Compared to the redundant staff of the Admiralty, you are still forging ahead and will help this country. But remember, from now on, you must Beware of the Japanese! Beware of the Japanese! If the Japanese lose, with the help of the British, they can't die, and if the Russians lose, then the Far East will become the kingdom of the British and Japanese, so even if the Russians cannot be allowed to win, But at the same time, we can't let Japan win, understand?" Olney said word by word.

   "In fact, we have to rely on ourselves to change our unfavorable situation in the Far East. Do you understand what I mean?" Roosevelt said something strange to outsiders.

   "This matter will be discussed later, at least not now. We need time to prepare. By then, I may no longer be in this position, but I will still support you, my friend." Olney said sincerely. This made Roosevelt very moved.

I don’t know what the contents of the documents Ito Bowen asked British Prime Minister Salisbury to read personally. Anyway, not long after it was sent out, it was about a month, and a telegram from the UK instructed Chamberlain to cooperate fully. The actions of the Japanese.

Of course, this cooperation is like that. Don’t even think about cede land. Japan can’t get an inch of territory~lightnovelpub.net~ But on the issue of compensation, the United Kingdom and Japan stand together, and a little bit from the Three Kingdoms Alliance. Compete in hand! The two sides even negotiated a little bit with a million taels of silver.

   This time the British have lost their money, and even some of the benefits they originally planned to eat on their own have been transferred out. Don't think about it, the Russians will not let go. There is still room for operation in Germany and France, and the British say it well.

"Have you seen my little brother? Now he can't produce anything. He is going to fight in the future. He needs industry and all kinds of equipment. When the Qing Dynasty money is in his hands, isn't it sent to you in a circle? How about some? You have finished tossing the Japanese colony, and the trade treaty has become universal, and you have also benefited from the Qing. You stay on the sidelines so that you can meet in the future?"

  Think about Germany and France. Helping Russia to wave the flag has gained some benefits, but it feels a little bit less. It would be better to get some benefits from the Japanese. Besides, what is the relationship between Germany and France? That is the enemy of life and death! It's good not to have a few ruthless words when you meet each other. It's a miracle to sit together this time. Everyone is afraid that the other party will speak first and then suffer a loss.

   The British diplomatic methods are indeed worthy of being a master. He even fought and pulled, and even frightened him to find a breakthrough. After Japan expressed its willingness to buy a batch of army rapid-fire guns and shell production lines from Germany, the German government finally loosened. Of course, this order has little to do with Ruprecht. They bought Krupp artillery. Precht has no other benefits other than those royalties. The representative of Germany said that Japan could consider claiming compensation. Once this gap appears, the concession of the Three-Power Alliance becomes inevitable.

   The third one is here~~~, please give me a reward~~~, please collect~.
