The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 258 Revenge

Americans are currently interested in the Far East. Otherwise, the Americans would not have launched the Spanish-American War, nor would they have proposed an open-door policy immediately after the war. Americans on this plane still think the same, but it is just the opposite of history. The reputation of the Americans who were beaten down by the Japanese was greatly reduced. Not to mention the loss of the Philippines, Samoa was also lost! If an open-door policy is proposed at this time, won't it make other powers laugh their ass off?

Even now Americans feel that Hawaii may be lost. Just imagine, Hawaii has 40% Japanese, and Americans do not even have one-third of Japanese. Without the intervention of foreign troops, the local Americans It's hard to protect yourself. Although it is equally difficult for Japan to seize here, as long as the Americans feel that it is not safe here, then there is room for Germany to operate!

The first step in the prince's two-step strategy is to give the United States diplomatic support so that Hawaii can at least maintain the status quo. What is the greatest advantage of the US government in Hawaii? There is a puppet government, and as long as this puppet government is preserved, at least it will not be difficult to maintain the status quo.

The second-step strategy is divided into two parts, and the implementation time is also after the United States supports Germany in Africa. If the actions of the Americans satisfy Germany, then when the United States annexes Hawaii, Germany will also support it and is willing to open its colonies in the Far East to provide convenience for the US fleet and fleet.

Americans will not give up the Far East. Judging from the current diplomatic relationship, it is impossible for Britain and Japan to provide temporary berthing bases for the US Far East Fleet in the future, and it is hard for the French to say. Russia itself has only two ports .... Then the anchorage of the Germans in the Far East is of great significance to the United States! There is a condition that is very tempting to the Americans. Prince Ruprecht does not believe that the Americans will not be fooled!

To be honest, the only thing Germany paid in this exchange of interests was to provide an anchorage for temporary supplies for the US Far East Fleet. Other than that, the Germans were only paying lip service to the US. Germany's support for maintaining the status quo on the Hawaiian issue will gain the moral approval of the world. And Americans supporting Germany on the African issue will make many European powers dissatisfied.

This exchange is very good for both parties. Although the Americans have assumed greater political pressure, they have obtained the basis for maintaining a military presence in the Far East. The so-called cooperation brings benefits to both, and separation brings harm to both. At this time, cooperation between virtues and virtues can naturally be desirable. The first step of this matter is so simple that William II can decide on his own without discussing with the old king.

Of course, as to whether there will be some "supporters" to participate in the US's counter-insurgency operations in Hawaii, that is a matter for the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Americans. Anyway, it has nothing to do with the German government. William II is still very satisfied with this kind of transaction. Um....... If there is a pot, others will help to carry it.

Crown Prince William could not think of a reason for refusing, and the Americans could not think of a reason for refusing either. Of course, now is not the time to tell Americans that Germany has ideas for Portuguese colonies. It just said that it is willing to open the German African colonies to the United States to a limited extent in exchange for the support of the United States in certain actions. Anyway, with the anchorage in the Far East as a hole card, the possibility of the Americans turning against the water is extremely low!

William II finally acquiesced to Ruprecht's plan. Portugal's African colonies were already on the crown prince's menu. In the future, whether the Americans planned to help or not, the prince planned to do it. As for the negotiations with the Americans, because it is not yet time for a showdown, it is not good for the government to come forward, and it is enough to hand it over to the Kingdom of Bavaria for private communication.

As for Bavaria's own small actions, sending out mercenaries to help the Americans suppress the rebellion? This matter is Ruprecht's own matter, and it has nothing to do with the German government. And the prince got someone's acquiescence to connect directly with the US government, but what he didn't expect was that the needs of the Americans were far more than keeping Hawaii! They even pointed the spearhead of revenge directly at Britain!

"Are you crazy?" When Roosevelt said that the United States planned to intervene in Britain's war against the Boers, Ruprecht suddenly realized that he didn't know the person in front of him! This TM is a bit too bold, right? The Boolean question is simply the reverse of the British. Whoever touches the British will never end! Back then, William II blew up the British with just a telegram.

And Roosevelt's plan is much more powerful than a telegram, the two sides are simply incomparable! Because Roosevelt wanted to directly participate in this war. The fierceness of his approach and the great hostility made the prince himself feel terrified... This is to tear it apart completely!

"The U.S. government also intends to get a mercenary army to help the Boers? I think you should be very clear about the result of this, the risk is too great!" The prince felt a little incredible! When it comes to organizing transnational mercenaries, the Americans must be regarded as old-timers. The foreign gun team that participated in the strangling of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in history was the mercenary organized by the American Wall, with a maximum size of 5,000 people. And this time the US government intends to retaliate against the British for their support of Japan by forming a "mercenary army" to find trouble in South Africa.

"Your country has just experienced a failure, and this time it happened in...." The prince was about to test the tone of the Americans again when he was interrupted by Roosevelt.

"Any individual or country that dares to challenge the United States of America will definitely be retaliated and attacked by the United States! What about the British? What can they do to the United States?" Roosevelt's face turned angry and contemptuous at the same time.

In the eyes of Americans, the United Kingdom has offended Americans so much! Leaving aside the war in the Philippines, the mere fact that Britain persuaded Brazil to help Japan buy warships is enough to annoy the Americans. Not to mention that in the Battle of the Philippines, the British even sent naval personnel to help Japan fight. Although it has only undertaken some work in the field of wireless point communication, for Americans, this is tantamount to declaring war!

It can be said that in this Philippine incident, the British have already offended the Americans, and all the diplomatic relations between the two parties have been destroyed, and the Americans who go all out will naturally not suffer! And a big country that is going all out will naturally not do some trivial things, and if it is done, the British will remember it for a lifetime!
