"If we do not deploy large warships on the West Coast, can the security of the West Coast be guaranteed?" US President Garrett Hobart looked at Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt. For the United States, we must ensure the security of the country. The navy is the most important combat force. Only if the navy can defeat the Chinese navy, can it defend the enemy outside the country. Otherwise, once the navy is defeated, the war will burn on the U.S. territory and repel it by the army. If the enemy is concerned, the United States will eventually suffer heavy losses. Just like the west coast of the United States today, the big cities along the coast have almost become ruins. Reconstruction alone will cost a lot of money after the war.
"His Excellency the President, if the navy's large warships are not deployed on the West Coast, we can only adopt passive defense measures and build shore defense turrets on a large scale in large coastal cities to defend against the Chinese with dense shore defense turrets!" Odo Roosevelt said.
President Garrett Hobart frowned. This answer did not satisfy him. This passive defense obviously could not stop the powerful Chinese. "Then, you think we should not agree to this Chinese." Are there conditions?" asked President Garrett Hobart.
"His Excellency the President, if the Chinese insist on ending the war with us, then we can only agree to their request. However, in my opinion, whether to deploy large warships on the West Coast will not have much impact on us! "Theodore Roosevelt said with a smile.
"Oh? Is there any way?" asked President Garrett Hobart.
"There is no doubt that the Chinese have gained hegemony in the Pacific Ocean. Even if we deploy large warships on the west coast, we will always be under the threat of the Chinese. If we want to develop the navy with all our might, the East Coast is undoubtedly the most suitable one. Place. However, this is related to a serious problem, how to transfer warships to the west coast to fight. I remember that the French were digging the Panama Canal and they were in great trouble, and they seemed to be about to go bankrupt. We can Take over this company and then make every effort to dig the canal, striving to complete the canal in a short time. At that time, our fleet can easily be transferred from the east coast to the west coast. In this way, this request from the Chinese will be for us There is no threat to Yan!" Theodore Roosevelt smiled.
"This is a good idea. If the Panama Canal can be opened, it will indeed be a lot of trouble for us. It is not only very useful in military affairs, but also has a very important economic effect!" Garrett Hobart The president said excitedly. Although it would cost a lot of money to dig the Panama Canal. But this canal is really important to the United States. No matter how much money it costs, it is only possible. Before the canal is opened, the US Navy To get from the east coast to the west coast, you have to bypass Cape Horn in South America, with a journey of more than 20,000 kilometers. If you walk the Panama Canal, the voyage will be controlled within 10,000 kilometers, saving more than half of the time!
"Since that's the case, even if we agree to the Chinese, it doesn't matter!" said Theodore Roosevelt. Although such conditions are completely a humiliation for the United States. But now people are
Under the roof, I have to bow my head! Only by admitting defeat now can you have enough time to focus on your development and create opportunities for defeating the Chinese in the future.
"Well! Then, the last question is 300 million pounds of compensation. After a long war, the treasury has been empty and owed a lot of debts. Now we have no money to pay these compensations!"
President Letter Hobart said.
"His Excellency President, I have discussed with the major consortiums that they will lend the money to the government. However, the government must agree to enter the financial field from major consortiums, and the future fiscal revenue will also be transferred to the joint establishment of major consortiums.
Banks,” said Finance Minister Lehman J. Gage.
President Garrett Hobart frowned. Those ambitious consortiums have always wanted to control American finance. If they agree to their conditions, the United States will fall into the control of these consortiums. However, the government
There is no money anymore, but those consortiums are very rich. Not to mention 300 million pounds, even 1 billion pounds is not a big problem for these consortiums. In fact, many officials of the US government are also from major
The government supports the consortium and is just the spokesperson of these consortiums.
"Well, the government can open up the financial field to major consortiums. However, I hope that major consortiums can help the rise of the United States, rather than parasitizing the United States to suck blood!" said President Garrett Hobart. He knew that the Secretary of Finance
Lehman J. Gage is the spokesperson of the Morgan family in the government.
"Your Excellency President, please rest assured that we are all Americans, so we will not do anything to harm the United States!" Finance Minister Lehman J. Gage agreed. The reason why these consortiums are trying to control the government is not to do so.
Do you need to make as much money as possible? Democratic countries are more likely to be controlled by these consortiums, but in countries that are not so easy. Especially for imperial countries like China, Wang Yuze's order is enough
All consortiums will be ruined and their families will be destroyed. China's current military power is not inferior to any country. Therefore, it is impossible for any consortium to make trouble in China through financial means.
This is a bit like this that does not follow the rules, but in this world, all the so-called rules are determined by the strong!
"Since all the problems have been solved, then inform the Secretary of State to reach an agreement with the Chinese and let the Chinese leave our territory!" said President Garrett Hobart.
After learning that the government agreed to the Chinese conditions, US Secretary of State John Sherman was relieved. He had been in China for a long time, and he also felt that the Chinese were getting more and more
Impatience, and the Chinese recently defeated the Russians again in Siberia, and at the same time, civil strife broke out in Russia, and Tsar Nicholas II was no longer able to fight against China. Therefore, he knew that this war should be
It's the end. Otherwise, it won't be of any benefit to the United States if it drags on. As for the alliances formed before, all of them will go to hell! Now, their respective interests are the most important.
On the morning of August 28, after a brief talks at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, US Secretary of State John Sherman accepted the conditions proposed by China on behalf of the United States. So, at 11 a.m., Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang and
As the representative of China and the United States, US Secretary of State John Sherman signed the armistice treaty. Unlike the Sino-US Beijing Treaty signed by China and the United States in 1897, this time the treaty was named China and the United States.
Beijing New Testament.
The main contents of the "China-US Beijing New Testament" are as follows: First, the United States admits defeat and cedes Alaska to China. Second, the United States compensates China for the losses of 300 million pounds in war and pays it within half a year (with several major consortiums supporting it, the United States
(Since the confidence is much more). Third, to avoid conflicts between China and the United States, the United States promised not to deploy large warships with displacement of more than 10,000 tons on the West Coast. Fourth, the United States will abolish the China Exclusion Act within the next year.
Protect the interests of Chinese in the United States. Fifth, after the signing of the treaty, China released all US prisoners of war, the Chinese team evacuated from the west coast of the United States, and all evacuated from the United States within half a year. Sixth, Sino-US relations returned to normal, and diplomatic relations were envoys
Level is elevated to ambassador level. Seventh, the treaty will come into effect from the date of signing! The signing of the treaty marks the second Pacific War between China and the United States, ending with China's complete victory. In this war, China not only gets
Alaska State also received 300 million pounds of war reparations. This reparations were almost equivalent to the funds spent by China in the war, greatly alleviating China's financial pressure. In addition, the troops withdrawn from the United States also
Being able to invest in other battlefields prevents China from re-enlisting new recruits.
After the signing of the treaty, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a grand banquet, and envoys from all countries attended the banquet. Of course, the British Foreign Minister Lord Lance Dorn was as if water was about to drip out, in his
In my heart, I don’t know how to curse these Americans. Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky, who has not yet negotiated with China, is even more anxious. After the negotiations with the United States, China will be able to invest more troops in Russia. Now, it will be possible to invest more troops in Russia.
How can Russia, which is internal and external troubles, resist the attack of these Chinese teams? Therefore, during the entire banquet, Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky almost followed Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang, hoping that China can be as soon as possible
Peace talks with Russia and end the war between China and Russia as soon as possible. The longer the time is now, the more unfavorable it will be for Russia! The rebellion in southern Russia became stronger and stronger after the joining of the Social Democratic Labor Party, and has been defeated many times.
Russia's suppression of the army. If this continues, Russia may collapse directly.
The Americans also looked very bad. This banquet was completely a shame in their eyes. So many soldiers were killed and killed, but they were defeated in the end and signed such a harsh treaty with China.
, There is no way to do this, so I can only endure it! The US ambassador to China will also be Sherlock, the former Minister to China.
As for the Japanese Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki who still stayed in Beijing, he was not allowed to attend this dinner at all!
