"His Excellency President, gentlemen. Yesterday, the British Ambassador to the United States had formally requested us, hoping that our navy would visit the UK for a period of time. As a member of the Allies and an ally of the UK, I think we should promise the UK that we should
"A request!" said US Secretary of State John Hay.
"Haha! It's really rare. Are the British finally going to lower their noble heads?" War Minister Elihu Rut said with a smile. The British looked down on the United States, regarded the United States as a nouveau riche, and were guarding against the United States everywhere.
It also makes the United States very unhappy with the United Kingdom.
"Gentlemen, it seems that the British are really in trouble this time! So, should we agree to their request and send a fleet to a friendly visit to the UK for a period of time?" asked US President Theodore Roosevelt. Last year,
He has become the new president of the United States. The cabinet he formed is leading the United States to quickly eliminate the impact of the war and become stronger quickly. It has been three years since the war, and after three years of hard work, the United States has not only not only
Only restored its strength and had great development. The West Coast, which was broken by the Chinese army, has been rebuilt. However, considering China's threat to the West Coast of the United States, the population in the western United States has been greatly reduced.
.At the same time, because the armistice agreement signed with China stipulates that the U.S. Navy shall not deploy more than 10,000 tons of main ships on the west coast, which makes the defense of the U.S. West Coast seem a bit weak. Although the U.S. Navy and the Army jointly built major cities on the U.S. West Coast
The shore defense turret, but this passive defense still seems to be full of loopholes. Once a war breaks out between China and the United States again, everyone has no idea whether it can resist the invasion of the troops stationed in China.
"His Excellency President, I think we should agree to the request of the British. In any case, we are a member of the Allies and are obliged to help Britain overcome this difficult time. Moreover, our fleet is just deployed to the North Sea and
The Germans fought against each other and helped the British defend their homeland. They would not fight desperately with the Chinese. If nothing unexpected happens, there would be no losses. In addition, this is also an important training opportunity for our navy!”
Navy Secretary William Henry Moody first stated that the US Navy now has six advanced "Connecticut-class" battleships, and in addition, there are many new battleships under construction. The recovery of naval strength has enabled the United States to
The Navy gradually got rid of the depression of previous defeat. In order to avenge revenge, the United States is vigorously developing its navy.
"Hmm! What about the others' opinions?" President Theodore Roosevelt nodded and continued to ask.
"His Excellency the President, it seems that the British are preparing to fight a big fight with the Chinese in the Middle East. This is beneficial to us without any harm. China has always been our biggest threat, allowing the British to consume the Chinese.
Strength, no matter which side wins the final victory, is very beneficial to us. The best thing is that the British and Chinese fight in the Middle East is both sides of the loss," said War Minister Elihu Rut.
"If possible, it would be best if we can share the oil benefits in the Middle East. Discovering oil in the Middle East is a huge threat to our oil industry!" Minister of Commerce and Labor George B. Cotter
Liu said that the United States' oil production accounts for two-thirds of the world. However, the discovery of the Middle East super oil fields has put a very big threat to the United States' oil industry.
"We have the most advanced oil extraction and smelting technology, as well as strong capital. If the British and French win the final victory, they should not prevent us from entering the Middle East." President Theodore Roosevelt said.
"In addition, we can also take the opportunity to ask the British some conditions, such as military technology, naval naval guns and new battleship designs, etc." Navy Secretary William Henry Moody said. The United States Navy's 'Connecticut-class'
The design of the battleship almost completely copied the design drawings of the British Navy's "Dreadless Class" battleship. The armored steel used on the battleship is also British technology, boilers and steam turbines, and is directly imported from the UK. In addition, the new style
Naval guns were also imported from the UK, which brought great restrictions to the development of the US Navy. The Mississippi-class battleships, South Carolina-class battleships, and Delaware-class battleships that are being built behind the US Navy.
, with the help of experts sent by the British, it only improves the "Connecticut-class" battleships. The key technologies are still in the hands of the British. If the US Navy wants to develop independently, it must master these technologies.
.
"Okay! Secretary of State, you are responsible for communicating with the UK. I believe that our generous allies will definitely meet our requirements!" Theodore Roosevelt said with a smile. Obviously, this opportunity is for the United States.
It is very rare. They can slap the British hard, thereby making up for their own shortcomings and achieving rapid development and growth. In terms of industrial strength, no country can compare with the United States, even China.
Likewise, what they lack is mainly cutting-edge technology, and this is just right for it to be obtained from the UK, just as China continues to obtain advanced technology from Germany.
Next, the United States and the United Kingdom launched secret negotiations, and the United States' lion spoke out loud, which made the United Kingdom very angry. However, they could not refuse. Although the United States is a member of the Allied Powers, compared with Britain and France, the United States
The threat is less. Therefore, the United States is qualified to provide conditions to the United Kingdom. Although it is very dissatisfied, in order for the combat plan to proceed smoothly, the United Kingdom had to grit its teeth and agree to the conditions proposed by the United States and provide relevant technologies to the United States, such as the United States
The 305mm 50 caliber main gun technology that people cannot master, as well as the design drawings of the 'Berrerofon-class' battleship and the 'Saint Vincent-class' battleship. In addition, the US Navy is also very interested in the technology of the battleship cruiser, and the British side is also
We had to provide the design drawings of the "Invincible Class" battle cruiser to the US Navy. Based on the drawings of the "Invincible Class" battle cruiser, the US Navy built the first-class battle cruiser of the US Navy and the "Florida Class" battle cruiser!
The French government naturally agreed with Britain's proposal. Originally, the war in the Middle East was a war between France and China for the Saudi Kingdom and oil in the Middle East. Britain was just a helper found by France.
After the defeat, the French government was already afraid that Britain would retreat in the last minute. However, it did not expect that China actually seized Kuwait, which undoubtedly touched the bottom line of Britain and made Britain prepare to fight against China. In this regard, the French government is very
If you are happy to see it, after Britain proposed to fight a war with China in the Middle East, the French government immediately stated that France would do its best to carry out this war. The four "Guoba" battleships of the French Navy will all hand over to the UK.
The navy commanded, and at the same time, the French Army will send 300,000 people to participate in this battle. In order to win, the French government obviously decided to take a gamble!
For a time, the routes on the Mediterranean became busy. A large number of transport ships and merchant ships traveled between Egypt, France and Britain. A group of British soldiers and French soldiers were sent to Egypt and the northwest of Saudi Kingdom.
Region. Britain and France began to increase troops on a large scale in the Middle East, which attracted the attention of other countries in the world. China, especially China, is paying more attention to this. After all, it is now China and Britain and France confronting the Saudi Kingdom, and Britain and France
The increase in troops in scale will bring huge pressure to China!
"Are the British and French crazy? Could it be that they are really preparing to fight the Empire for the sake of oil in the Middle East?" Wang Yuze frowned as he looked at the telegram in his hand. Britain and France began to go on a large scale.
In Wang Yuze's view, Britain and France are completely crazy. Not to mention whether the oil in the Middle East is worth the cost of such a large cost, just this is not the case.
Considering logistical pressure and blindly sending more troops is a crazy move. If the war is not going well, these troops are likely to face a catastrophe.
"The British's actions are indeed very unexpected. It seems that our actions in Kuwait have encountered the British's reverse scale!" said Xiong Wu, Chief of Staff. The British's reaction will be so big, which is beyond the reach of the same level as the chief of staff.
His expectation: Kuwait is just a small country with an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers. Even if there may be oil there, the UK will not need such a big reaction!
"Your Majesty, I think this is the British who are afraid. We want to give us a warning. Let us know that the British colonies are their lifeblood and cannot be bang. If they bang, they will fight us desperately
!” said Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang.
"Maybe it's the reason." Wang Yuze nodded. Kuwait was just the first step for China to eat away from British colonies in Asia. After that, Persia and Afghanistan, and finally India. Now, the British's reaction
Sure enough, it was a bit scary, like poking a hornet's nest.
"It seems that the British are willing to fight with us in order to maintain their colonial system!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu said seriously. It seems that the scale of the war has exceeded previous expectations, the military of the empire
All deployments must be adjusted. Otherwise, after the increase in troops between Britain and France, the empire will be at a disadvantage in the Middle East! (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
