Chapter 258 Revenge

The current interest of Americans is still in the Far East. Otherwise, Americans would not have launched the Spanish-American War, nor would they immediately propose an open door policy after the war. The Americans in this plane still have the same idea, but the opposite of history is that the Americans who were beaten down by the Japanese were so powerful that they lost their reputation. Not only did the Philippines lose it, but Samoa was also lost! If there is another open door policy proposed at this time, then why would other powerful people not laugh?

Even now Americans think that Hawaii may lose it. Just imagine that 40% of the Japanese in Hawaii are not even one-third of the Japanese. Without the intervention of foreign troops, it is difficult for local Americans to protect themselves. Although it is also difficult for Japan to seize this place, as long as Americans feel that this place is unsafe, there is room for Germany to operate!

The first step in the prince's two-step strategy is to give US support diplomatically so that Hawaii can at least maintain the status quo. What is the biggest advantage of the US government in Hawaii? It is to have a puppet government, and as long as this puppet government is preserved, it will be difficult at least 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's actions in Africa. If the American actions satisfy Germany, then Germany will also provide support when the United States annexes Hawaii and is willing to open its own colonies in the Far East to facilitate the US fleet and fleet.

Americans will not give up on the Far East. Judging from the current diplomatic relations, it is impossible for Britain and Japan to provide temporary anchorage bases for the US Far East fleet in the future, and it is hard to say that the French are. Russia has only two ports... Then the German anchorage in the Far East is of great significance to the United States! There is a condition that temptation for the Americans is very great. Prince Ruprecht does not believe that the Americans will not be caught!

To be honest, the only thing Germany has paid for this exchange of interests is to provide temporary supplies to the US Far East Fleet. In addition, the Germans only provide convenience to the United States verbally. Germany supports maintaining the status quo on the Hawaii issue and will gain moral recognition from the world. The Americans support for Germany on the African issue will make many European powers dissatisfied.

This exchange was very good for both sides. Although the Americans had suffered greater political pressure, they had gained the basis for maintaining military existence in the Far East. As the saying goes, there are two benefits, and there are two harms. At this time, cooperation between the United States and Germany can naturally be desirable. The first step in this matter is so simple that William II could decide alone without discussing with the old king.

Of course, as for whether some "supporters" will participate in the United States' counter-insurgency in Hawaii, it is the matter between the Bavarian Kingdom and the Americans. Anyway, there is no relationship with the German government, and William II is still very satisfied with this kind of transaction. Well... others will help you take the blame.

Prince William couldn't think of a reason to refuse, and the Americans couldn't think of a reason to refuse. Of course, it's not time to tell Americans that Germany had ideas about the Portuguese colony. He just said that he was willing to open up German African colonies to the United States to exchange for the support of the United States in some actions. Anyway, with the Far East anchorage as a trump card, the possibility of Americans turning against the water is extremely low!

William II finally acquiesced to Ruprecht's plan. Portugal's colonies in Africa had already put the prince's menu. In the future, no matter whether the Americans plan to help or not, the prince would plan to take action. As for the negotiations with the Americans, it was not good for the government to come forward, so it would be enough to leave them to the Kingdom of Bavaria for private exchanges.

As for Bavaria's own small moves, mercenaries, or something to help the Americans suppress the rebellion? This matter is Ruprecht's own business, and it has nothing to do with the German government. After getting someone's acquiesce, the prince directly connected with the US government. However, what he could not imagine was that the Americans' demands were far more than just protecting Hawaii! They even pointed the finger of revenge directly at the United Kingdom!

"Are you crazy?" When Roosevelt said that the United States planned to intervene in the British war against the Boers, Ruprecht suddenly realized that he didn't know the person in front of him! This tm was a bit too brave, right? The Boolean problem was simply the reverse scales on the British. Whoever touched the British and who would not finish it! William II made the British angry only with just one telegram. (Of course, there was a need to divert attention from the domestic ones.)

Roosevelt's plan was much more powerful than a telegram, and the two sides were simply incomparable! Because Roosevelt wanted to participate directly in this war. The fierce approach and the huge hostility made the prince himself frightened... This was to start a complete fight!

"The US government is also planning to get a mercenary 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! Speaking of organizing transnational mercenaries, Americans must be considered old seniors. The foreign gun team that participated in strangling the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in history was a mercenary organized by the American Wall, with a maximum scale of 5,000 people. This time, the US government planned to retaliate against the British's support for Japan by forming a "mercenary army" in South Africa.

"Your country has just experienced a failure, and this time happened..." The prince was interrupted by Roosevelt just as he wanted to test the American tone again.

"Any individual and country who dares to challenge the United States of America will inevitably be retaliated and attacked by the United States! So what about the British? How can they do the United States?" Roosevelt's face also showed an angry and contempt expression.

In the eyes of the Americans, Britain has offended the Americans now! Not to mention the war in the Philippines, simply Britain convinced Brazil and helped Japan buy warships is enough to annoy the Americans. Not to mention that during the Battle of the Philippines, the British even sent naval personnel to help Japan fight. Although they only undertake some work in the field of wireless point communication, for the Americans, this is no longer a declaration of war!

It can be said that in this Philippine incident, the British have offended the Americans to their families, and all the diplomatic relations that can be destroyed between the two sides have been destroyed. The Americans who are willing to do it will naturally not suffer any losses! A big country who is willing to do it will naturally not do some small-scale things. If you want to do it, you must remember the British for a lifetime!
