The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 227: Belated Decision

"By the way, Nagada, Brazil, didn't you buy two new German armored cruisers? Can't we just buy them?" Day said with a row of heads!

Who is America? Except for being bullied once by the British guy Chile in South America when his navy was not good enough, he is the boss in the entire Americas! Since the introduction of the Monroe Doctrine, even those old empires have restrained a lot in the Americas. It is not difficult to buy warships from Brazil!

Of course, because the money involved is a bit large, it may not be finalized for a while, but it's okay, just ask first, once you decide to buy it, take it immediately. With this in mind, Day sent a telegram to the US ambassador to Brazil, and a day later, when the US ambassador to Brazil sent the telegram back, Day's three souls and six souls were scattered in half!

"The Brazilians didn't receive these two warships at all? After the warships were handed over to the UK, Brazil didn't ask any more questions? What's going on?" Day asked like an angry lion! Then he immediately summoned the Brazilian ambassador to the United States to inquire about this matter.

At this time, the Brazilians also regretted it. Brazil thought it would be a victim too. What did the British bring the Japanese to say? Let Brazil come forward to help purchase two warships, and then Japan will pay some commission, and the British will guarantee it. Japan is so far away from the Americas, even if something happens, it doesn't care what happened to Brazil, so the Brazilian government agreed to it because of the British's face.

After agreeing, who would have thought that the boss in the Americas would fight the Japanese? The British are not easy to mess with, are Americans easy to get along with? So when the Americans asked about this matter, the first thing the Brazilians did was to cover it up immediately, and then directly blame the British. The battleship belongs to the British, so talk to the British!

"Damn it!" When the Brazilian finally couldn't bear the pressure of the United States and revealed the whole truth, Day felt a sweetness in his throat, and then his eyes darkened, and he almost stopped eating. This blow is not insignificant!

"Tell Roosevelt to let him withdraw the fleet immediately! The Japanese already have 4 German armored cruisers, and we can't beat them!" Only now did Day know where the Japanese's confidence came from. This was the first thing Day said when he woke up. But it's a pity it's too late!

"Despicable British! Despicable! Shameless! Nasty!" Roosevelt furiously threw Day's report on the table. A feeling of betrayal made him furious. The whole of America is in the palm of your hand!

Brazil's intelligence has already understood that the Japanese and the British began to count the Americans after the end of the Sino-Japanese War, and the Japanese armaments were not aimed at Russia at all! They are targeting the Philippines! Compared to the behemoth of Russia, Spain is nothing, and the Philippines is too far away from Europe, so it is definitely a very easy target. The Americans know it, and so do the Japanese!

It’s not that the Americans have not disclosed their intentions to the Spanish colonies to the British. Hay, an idiot, is still complacent after receiving the so-called guarantee of neutrality from the British! The British helped the Japanese buy warships, even if they were not Britain's own.

The British give money and help find relationships. This is really comprehensive! What's even more exasperating is that Americans still regard Britain as a friend! It's not enough to be bullied once, when Russia abandoned those two warships, the Americans were bullied again by this so-called "friend"! He actually helped his greatest enemy to obtain two other German armored cruisers!

Originally, if Japan had only two armored cruisers,

It is still within the range of the US Far East Fleet, these are all right, the Japanese have four ships, two of which were sent by the Americans! This TM slap doesn't have such a face!

Moreover, this secret will be fatal to the political future of all those who participated in this matter. Although there is not much contact between the United States and Britain, and the British know very little about the situation, there is one person who has mastered all the content, even Even the most critical text and image data are left behind. "He must know the result!" Roosevelt said fiercely.

But obviously, compared to personal gains and losses, Roosevelt paid more attention to the issue of what the U.S. government and the U.S. Navy should do now! The strength is not good! Can't beat it! But before that, Roosevelt still had a glimmer of hope, and he wanted to hear the opinions of professionals. Therefore, he personally went to the station of the US Fleet in Florida, and at the same time informed Dewey and the US high-level officials of this information.

But unfortunately, it was too late at this time! Because when Roosevelt sent this telegram, there were only 2 hours left before the outbreak of the Sulu Sea War! And when this telegram was delivered to Shelly, Shelly had been in Hamburg for 2 days! Of course, this is something to do later, let's not mention it for now.

Speaking of Florida, when Simpson saw this telegram, he uttered these words: "Absolutely do not fight!" The lieutenant general has a good understanding of the combat quality of the US Navy. After looking at the artillery performance data of Germany, Beiyang and Japan in the Japanese War, the lieutenant general believed that even if the water inside was squeezed out and the data was cut by two-thirds, the performance was still better than that of most warships of the US Navy.

Now the strength of the Japanese navy has faintly suppressed the US and Russian fleets, and the quality of the officers and soldiers is not as good. If there is a fight, the Americans will not lose even their pants? Of course, Roosevelt guessed some of this result, but the most important thing now is what to do now!

Yes, what should I do? Now the Japanese are in the upper hand, and more importantly, the Japanese government seems to be really willing to fight the US Navy in order to take away the Philippines. Just before he came, he had just received a document forwarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Japanese had issued an ultimatum. This is a sign that the movie is about to start!

"What else can we do? We don't know how to deal with the Spaniards at the time, and the Far East is nowhere in sight. We must either withdraw the fleet to Samoa, or immediately purchase new warships, including active warships, and it is best not to ask the Japanese now. Declare war and avoid provoking your opponent." Simpson's answer was straightforward.

"Where do you want me to buy it now?" Roosevelt said angrily.

"What you did in the past, now something goes wrong, do you want to escape?" Lieutenant General Simpson has some understanding of some of the things that happened back then, aren't these things all caused by these politicians back then? "These guys will do bad things!" Lieutenant General Simpson said in his heart.

"I understand, I will send a telegram to the ambassador in Germany now, and I will go to Bavaria in 3 days!" Roosevelt said.

"In 3 days? If you really want to go, I can arrange a boat for you tonight." Simpson sneered.

"Okay, okay, okay." Roosevelt didn't know what to say now, he suddenly realized that he was a fool in the Admiralty, and he almost became a public enemy after spending a long time! I am also for the sake of the country, for the sake of the navy, I proposed many reforms? How can you do this? Roosevelt was wronged to death.
