Chapter 228 Is this a defeat?
As the saying goes, one step is different, Roosevelt was unable to set foot on the steamship to Germany immediately. Lieutenant General Simpson just said some anger. In fact, how could a deputy director of the Admiralty want to go abroad so quickly? Just when Roosevelt rushed back to Washington overnight, the result of the Battle of Sulu was finally exposed, and the news of the British helping Japan establish radio contact was also exposed! The former was revealed by the Japanese themselves, while the latter was revealed by the Germans helping the Americans!
The Japanese government was ready to pk the Americans. When he learned that his troops in Manila Bay were beaten and almost wiped out by the Americans, he declared war directly on the United States. At this time, Roosevelt was on his way to Florida, but he didn't have a cell phone at that time, and he didn't know about this.
Then when he learned that the United States and Japan declared war, there was another telegram behind this telegram, that was the news that the US Navy was almost completely annihilated by the Japanese in the Sulu Sea!
"This is impossible!" Like Roosevelt, when most American senior officials received this battle report, their first reaction was that they didn't believe it! How could the dignified United States of America be beaten like this by a small Japan?
The glorious United States Navy was arguing with the British back then. (Well, the Americans would never mention that the Great Lakes Naval Base was burned by someone.)
Back then, the US Navy knocked on the Japanese door with a squadron. The Japanese fought three times and were beaten by the Germans. Back then, Japan was extremely confused by the Beiyang fleet with the support of the British. Why did they just knock over the US and Russian fleets after three years? This is unscientific! We are white people!
But then, the information sent from other channels forced the arrogant Yang Ji-Ke-Yang to admit that the US Navy was indeed defeated, and the Americans were still broken. So now the problem is here. Since it has been defeated, you must know the current situation of both sides and why they were defeated. As for what to do in the future, that is what happened later.
"If the Germans' intelligence is correct, then the Japanese will be able to return to the battlefield after a short period of repairs, especially the four terrible German-made cruisers, which almost wipe out some paint!" An official from the Navy replied.
"Remember, we should downplay the German cruiser in the future. The caliber of external publicity must emphasize that it is the warships that the British helped the Japanese buy. Do you understand? The Germans are just doing business, while the British have a clear purpose. Britain is our enemy! Don't let the people and the people below misunderstand!" Before Roosevelt could speak, the new Secretary of State Day said seriously.
"What do you mean?" Roosevelt said after the only ones left in the house were Roosevelt and Day.
"What does it mean? The country needs an explanation, the people need an explanation, and the Bavarian man also needs a statement from us. Tell me, what should I do?" Dai was regretful now and his intestines were blue.
"The British helped the Japanese buy warships and provide resources. Half of our failures this time will be counted on the British. The British are our enemies! Am I wrong to say this?" Day said angrily, "And this is the meaning of the president and leaders of various parties in Congress. The British must be responsible for these things! In the future, our international and diplomatic strategies will be adjusted because of this matter!"
"We fought against the British for independence, and in the Napoleon era, we fought against the British for freedom of trade. During the Civil War, the British supported the South. Now, when the United States of America wanted to sell this step, the British obstructed it. Do we have to cooperate with the British?"
"The prince was right. The new risers and the old empires were born hostile. From now on, it is impossible to be friendly to Britain. This is a high-voltage line, whoever touches them will die! Moreover, there are many German and Austro-Hungarian immigrants in the United States, and there are many Irish people, so their power cannot be underestimated. No matter which political party comes to power, they will win over them, and the originally neutral people will also tend to Germany. Do you understand?" Day and Roosevelt are now grasshoppers on the same rope. So he explained the reason for Roosevelt in detail.
"I always feel that we have been plotted! The prince in Germany must know something." Roosevelt said unwillingly.
"But he said the truth! It's just that we don't listen. The United States has no other choice now. The British stand on the side of the Japanese, the French watch coldly, the Russians can't help, even a little bit of diplomatic aid is precious, and in the future, the United States will have fewer friends, and we are originally isolated!" Day smiled bitterly.
"And that prince has something in his hands that can ruin half of the American senior management. Do we have a choice? If you have objections, those who are worried that the matter will be exposed will get rid of you before you take action, Lincoln will be assassinated, and what is the death of a deputy director of the Admiralty? Then countless sewage will be poured on you, your mistakes and shortcomings will be infinitely amplified, and you will eventually be killed in both physical and reputation. You are a politician, so you should be able to distinguish between importance, right?" Day warned for the last time. If Roosevelt doesn't make it up, whether it's for the United States or himself, then I can only apologize!
Therefore, under the deliberate operation of the US government, the relationship between the British and Japanese in this war was discovered, and even deliberately magnified. In the official US documents and media, the British were Japanese accomplices (this is right.) Provide funds to the Japanese to help the Japanese buy warships and train navy. The Americans even speculated that when Japan dared to have some ideas about the Philippines, this plan was formulated by the British!
The British ignored the Americans' goodwill to Britain for many years and wanted to trample on the dignity and national interests of the Americans. Now the British are the enemy of the United States, the second largest enemy, and the first largest enemy is naturally the Japanese! For a time, all kinds of pots were thrown over by the Americans.
Books such as "The True Image of the British-Japanese Alliance" and "The Despicable British" became the best-selling books and magazines in the United States for a time. In the articles of major newspapers, the American public gradually realized the malice and hostility of that world empire towards the United States! The political tendencies of the entire high-level and civilians have changed!
