The Rise of the Empire

Look at the few people who came to Bavaria to chat with me, the two future US presidents, what are they doing here? Isn't it just to prevent these two warships from falling into the hands of the enemy Spanish? But in the end, the two battleships turned around and fell into the hands of another, more terrifying enemy! What is it called? Shoot yourself in the foot with a stone, and as a signatory of this secret agreement, if this matter is revealed, then neither Roosevelt, Wilson nor the current McKinley can escape! It's all over!

The United States has one advantage, that is, there is no shortage of opposition parties at any time. If this thing falls into the hands of the opposition party, Y's US government will be a traitor! It took a long time to help the enemy. Helping the enemy arm themselves against the navy of the United States is treason. It is a trivial matter that the political future is over. Maybe you will spend your next life in prison!

To Roosevelt and others and the supporters behind them, the "black paper" and the later "red paper" in their own hands were "little boys" and "fat men"! It is good to grasp the handle. If there is such a handle, when these people come to power, they must be cautious, cautious, and more cautious about the relationship between virtue and virtue. Sometimes politics is like this. How many politicians can ignore their own political interests? In this plane, isn't the so-called hatred among the people all guided by high-level people?

Just imagine if in World War I, as long as Germany did not do too much and Wilson wanted to declare war on Germany, the American opposition suddenly revealed the incident that shamed the entire United States of America 20 years ago. Cheng Yingri's spy is not too much, right? After all, you are a participant in this matter, and after betraying the interests of the United States, you still have to kneel and lick Britain and Japan. What do you mean? There are not only handwriting and fingerprints on the secret agreement, but the prince also took a few photos with everyone who met again, you can deny it slowly. The evidence is solid! You Wilson or Roosevelt want to overturn the case? It's difficult.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. According to His Royal Highness’s estimation, after this incident, the relationship between the United States and Japan is considered to be deadlocked, and the relationship between the United States and Britain is almost difficult to mend. After all, what the British did will be exposed sooner or later. Because of the actions of the British, the United States indirectly lost the opportunity to enter the Far East. This kind of hatred is not only in the American political arena, but also the capitalists and factory owners in the United States can't bear it! What a market. Isn't it also because of these reasons that the United States and Japan had an annihilation back then? As the planner of the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt would probably hate the Japanese for the rest of his life if he lost the Philippines?

So these two warships must be sold! All 4 warships must be given to Japan! Anyway, the two warships were purchased by Brazil and operated by the British behind the scenes, which has nothing to do with Bavaria. The other two warships were sold to Japan by your US government, and it has nothing to do with me. And I still hold a lot of black history in your hands. You can't, and you dare not blame me!

It is not enough for Japan to acquire the Philippines and then become enemies with the US emperor! If you want the hatred to be big enough, you must be stained with blood! Both Japan and the United States have to use their brains for the Philippines! Ruprecht can guess that the Japanese do not want to have a head-on conflict with the U.S. emperor, but in fact whether there will be a conflict is not up to the Japanese. His Royal Highness has already guessed what the U.S. and Japan think, and the British are neutral. As an excuse to put logistical pressure on the Americans. The Japanese forced the Americans to admit reality with their powerful fleet. The idea is good, but will Ruprecht, who has realized this, make Britain and Japan happy?

Ruprecht reminded Severa early on that he should defend the Philippines instead of Cuba. This is not the kindness of His Royal Highness, because no matter how the Spanish fleet gathers, there is no chance of winning against the Japanese fleet one year later. The result of being crushed to death! The prince reminded Sai Weila that the fundamental purpose was still on the Americans!

As long as two Munich-class armored cruisers are sent to the Philippines,

The U.S. Dewey Fleet in the Far East will definitely not be able to handle it. What if it can’t handle it and wants to capture the Philippines? The only way is to increase troops! In order to deal with the two armored cruisers, at least the two armored cruisers Brooklyn and New York should come over, right? If you want to be on the safe side, you may need to send a battleship. For example, the newly commissioned Iowa is good. The highest speed of this ship in history is 17 knots, and its firepower is strong enough!

So here comes the question, how to solve the supply after these warships come over? It is certain that the Americans bring their own supply ships, but there is no way to maintain the battleships! The British will not help. The Americans themselves are incapable, and the French are too far away. But the Germans have a way! In order to support the Munich-class armored cruiser to patrol the Far East, the Germans specially built a 10,000-ton floating dock there... You Americans want to use it and tell me!

Of course, even so. An American battleship, two armored cruisers, and several protected cruisers will definitely not be able to beat the 4 major "King Kong" and 2 second-class battleships. If Americans know the truth. Maybe I really dare not do it. After all, no one wants an egg to touch a rock!

But the problem is, now the United States does not know that Japan bought 4 armored cruisers at once! If there are only two ships, the advantage of the Japanese navy over the US navy will be very small, and the Americans may not have the strength to fight! And don't forget that Prince Ruprecht has the final say on when the Japanese warships will be delivered! The two Nisshin and Izumo acquired from Russia were delivered in October 1897. These two battleships will definitely be handed over to the Japanese before the war, which also gives the Japanese the courage to continue their operations. But there is a saying when the other two warships will be delivered!

The construction of these two warships started late, and it should have been completed in February 1898 according to the normal construction schedule! And what about the course of the Spanish-American War in history? The Maine incident occurred on February 15, 1898, the United States began to blockade Cuban ports on April 22, and Spain declared war on Cuba on April 24! And on May 1, Dewey launched an attack on the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay.

The prince doesn't know what will happen to this plane, but if everything goes according to history, then the two warships purchased by Japan may really be able to catch up with this operation, and the construction will be completed in mid-February. None of them work. As for personnel training, it is not a problem at all. The warships that Japan obtained from the Russians were delivered in October, but one of the warships was completed in August. During the time that the warships stayed in Germany this time, the Japanese Enough to train a batch of seeds. Then spread out to the remaining warships, and start fighting as soon as they return home! And don't forget, the weapons above are British products, and the Japanese have been playing badly for a long time!
