However, before the train of the East China government delegation arrived in Ptsmouth, Li Sanjie received a telegram from Gu Kai, director of the East China government office in the United States. It turned out that he suggested that the delegation go to New York first, meet President Roosevelt, and then return to Ptsmouth. Because Japan and Russian delegations are now frequently in New York, Gu Kai was also a little anxious, so he also hoped that the East China government delegation would come to New York early to start the event.

Li Sanjie and others went through newspapers on the train to learn about some of the actions of Japan and the Russian delegation in New York. There were also many news analysis and comments. Some people believed that the negotiations would eventually break down, while others believed that the East China government would give up compensation under pressure from the United States, Britain, France and other countries.

Although the activities of both Japan and Russia are very active, Li Sanjie and others don’t care about this. After all, the negotiations are based on strength. Without enough strength and enough bargaining chips, these small moves are meaningless. The East China government cannot succumb to the pressure of public opinion from the United States, and now it is not afraid that the negotiation will break down. What else can I worry about?

However, Li Sanjie believed that such an arrangement would not be paid off when he arrived in the United States. First, he always had to visit President Roosevelt; second, there were economic and trade groups coming to the United States this time. They were originally going to New York, so it was acceptable to go to New York first, so it was natural that others would not have any objections, because New York has always been the most developed and prosperous city in the United States, so it was of course happy to go shopping in New York. So Li Sanjie called Gu Kai back and agreed to his arrangement.

After receiving the telegram from Li Sanjie, Gu Kai immediately started to make arrangements and finally cleared the relationship when the train arrived in Ptsmouth. He hung the delegation's carriage on a train heading to New York. On the one hand, the United States attached great importance to this trilateral talks and tried its best to create a good talks environment for the three parties. On the other hand, Gu Kai also has developed a lot of connections in the United States in recent years, so he was able to contact the train to New York at a very long time.

Gu Kai himself got on the train at Ptsmouth and met with the delegation. He planned to explain the situation in New York to the delegation on the train and discuss countermeasures.

Gu Kai is 46 years old and a fat man. In the old time and space, he did not have the experience of Zhou Fengshan studying and living in the United States for 9 years. However, he has been to the United States for more than a dozen times for investigation and negotiation, and is very familiar with the United States, so he became the director of the office in the United States.

After getting on the bus, Gu Kaicai reported the situation in New York in detail to Li Sanjie, He Handong and others. In the past few days, the Japanese have still implemented their policy of taking the high-level route. Not only have they maintained communication with President Roosevelt, but Japanese Ambassador to the United States Kentaro Kaneko visited Roosevelt twice for a long talk, while others also attacked one after another, frequently visiting and meeting with the US Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of State, and the Secretary of the Treasury. He also listened twice in the Senate and House of Representatives, and had a hot fight with senior officials in the US political arena.

Russia continued to implement Witt's route. On the one hand, it created a people-friendly image in churches, churches, schools, and other public places. Even Witt put down his figure and worked hard to create his own simple image to win the favor of ordinary Americans. When getting on and off the car, he must shake hands with the driver, salute the female guests he met in the hotel, and even his clothes were replaced with simple American outfits. These actions also achieved considerable results. Many newspapers praised Witt as a well-educated and graceful Russian aristocrat. Witt himself was quite happy and believed that his strategy was being successful.

Gu Kai saw it and was even more anxious, so he was eager to hope that the negotiating delegation of the East China government could arrive in New York, offset the influence of Japan and Russia, and reverse the adverse public opinion situation.

After listening to Gu Kai's introduction, Li Sanjie seemed very relaxed and thought that this was nothing at all. Although the American public opinion would not change the negotiating position of the East China government, it was indeed impossible to give up the public opinion position easily. Of course, it was not difficult for the East China government to regain its public opinion position, because the opponents of the East China government were Japan and Russia.

Li Sanjie did not think that American public opinion had completely turned to Japan, and Russia, because before setting off, he did his homework and knew that the United States actually had no good feelings for Japan and Russia in this era. Of course, Russia is basically synonymous with rudeness, barbarism, warlikeness and cruelty in this era. Looking around the world, there are almost only a handful of countries that have a good impression of Russia. Even if France, which is an alliance with Russia, is only under pressure from Germany, and in the hearts of the French, it is not Russia at all. As a descendant of European immigrants, the United States, which is mainly composed of the Anglo-Saxon nation, certainly cannot have any good impression of Russia.

Although the United States supported Japan during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and Russo-Japanese War, it was driven by interests at that time, and it was not because the United States had any good feelings for Japan. Supporting Japan to defeat the Qing court was to force the Qing court to be more open, while supporting Japan to fight Russia was to curb Russia's expansion in the Far East. In addition, the United States also had another purpose, which was to direct Japan's attention to the mainland and not to worry about the Hawaii issue.

Japan was thinking about the Hawaiian Islands for a long time and wanted to take this island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for itself. Since the mid-19th century, Japan has penetrated into Hawaii. By the end of the 19th century, the Japanese in Hawaii had reached 40% of the total population, even more than the indigenous people in Hawaii. However, the United States took the lead in the United States. In 1893, the US government instigated American immigrants in Hawaii to launch a coup, imprisoning Queen Liliu Karani, the ruler of Hawaii at that time, and established the "Republic of Hawaii".

At that time, Hirahachiro Togo, who was still the captain of the cruiser of the Langsu, led two warships to rush to Hawaii in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, and fought against the US fleet. The two sides were tense and almost fought. It was only after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and Japan had no time to split up and needed the support of the United States, so they had to bear this breath. But the United States did not forget this crisis. Roosevelt, then the Secretary of the U.S. Navy, asked the staff to formulate a naval strategic plan for the United States to carry out two battles in Hawaii and Japan in Cuba and Spain at the same time.

In 1897, Hawaii and the United States officially signed a merger treaty and refused Japanese immigration to Hawaii. So Japan sent the cruiser Langsu to demonstrate to Hawaii again, and the United States also sent the cruiser Philadelphia to confront it. In 1898, it officially merged Hawaii, defeated Spain in the Spanish-American War and seized the Philippines.

This once again caused dissatisfaction from Japan, because the Philippines is also a potential target of Japan, and it was robbed by the United States again, so why can't I swallow this? It was just that the conflict between Japan and Russia began to intensify, so the Japanese government also opposed another military conflict with the United States, and could only abide by the United States' occupation of Hawaii and the Philippines.

Although the United States then fully supported Japan to fight against Russia, and the relationship between the two countries was once very close, the Hawaii and Philippines issues were always an instability factor between the two countries. In the old time and space, after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan-US relations deteriorated rapidly, and they used each other as illusions of enemies and formulated combat plans. Until Japan surrendered in World War II, the relationship between the two countries did not return to the level of the Russo-Japanese War.

Now newspapers and news tend to be directed by the US government, while favoring Russia is a personal performance that Vitte works hard. But the United States does not look down on Japan and Russia in its core, and time travelers have a better understanding of news media than this era. As long as you can constantly provide news topics and hot topics to the media, you will become the darling of the media. Therefore, it is really easy for Russia to defeat Japan in the media competition.

After another day of the trip, the train finally arrived at the New York Railway Station. However, before the train stopped, you could see nearly 100 reporters standing on the platform and more than 20 cameras were set up. The United States organized more than 20 policemen to maintain order on the platform.

It turned out that with Japan and the Russian negotiating delegation arrived in New York and launched a series of activities. With the promotion of the US government, major American newspapers conducted detailed reports and interviews with characters, which also greatly increased Americans' interest in the tripartite negotiations held in their own country.

Although the United States is still deeply influenced by "Monroeism", isolation still dominates and is not very concerned about foreign affairs. However, with the continuous strengthening of the United States' national strength, the Americans' awareness of a great power is also increasing day by day. Naturally, it also hopes that the United States' international status will be improved. This tripartite negotiation is the first time that the United States has held a mediation activity for major international events, which also symbolizes the rise of the United States' international status. Therefore, it has attracted the attention of many Americans and has become the focus of Americans' daily discussion after dinner. Many casinos have also opened gambling for this talk, which has also contributed considerable to the fire.

Although the newspaper's report on the negotiations was promoted by the US government at the beginning, as this topic became increasingly popular in American society, many news media also took the initiative to find the hot topics of the news. The negotiating delegation of the East China government arrived in New York, of course, was a very selling news. If you could take out anything from the representatives of the East China government, it would be great.

So all major newspapers and magazines in New York sent reporters to the New York Railway Station to wait for the East China government's negotiating delegation to arrive. As soon as the train stopped, the reporters immediately rushed to the carriage where the delegation was located. The police quickly lined up a wall to block the reporters and attracted many passengers to stop and watch.

Faced with such a scene, Li Sanjie was prepared for it, so after getting off the train, he was not busy leaving, but waved to the reporters with a smile to express his respects.
