Sheffield remembered that due to the special relationship between Britain and the United States, the United States supported Britain's aggressive war in South Africa, both covertly and overtly. Of course, no one could have imagined that the British Empire would use nearly half a million troops and be beaten to disgrace. Even those who passed through the North and South

War, the federal government of the United States, which had already experienced mobilization for a decisive battle, did not think of it.

Without the Boer War, the process of usurping the throne of the United States might not have been so smooth, and the internal hegemony change in the English department would not have been so smooth. It can be seen that even a world hegemon should be more cautious about war. After the Boer War, Britain directly changed its imperial policy and gave up its glory.

Isolation recognizes the importance of allies, but is still essentially weak.

Later, the United States also experienced wars that caused internal injuries. The heavy losses in the Vietnam War forced the United States to think of Britain's predicament in the Boer War. They decisively adopted a shrinking posture and were helpless in the face of the Soviet Union's global offensive. If they had not made a decisive move and killed

After Germany and Japan replenished their blood, Reagan counterattacked with all his strength, but we still don’t know what the final result will be.

The Vietnam War was a wake-up call for the United States. Although they continued to fight wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, they were still unwilling to take action against the last Iran. If it could not be resolved in a short time, the trend of the British Empire after the Boer War might be repeated, and eventually the trend of the British Empire would be repeated.

What's important is that another country has reached the 60 percent warning line set by the United States.

Theodore Roosevelt's eyes lit up at the exchange of mutual understanding and support for the Boer War against the Spanish War, and then he wondered, "This may not be able to explain to Germany and the Netherlands, and will it cause dissatisfaction between the two countries."

If Theodore Roosevelt had made a choice in his heart, he would definitely be on the side of Britain. As Sheffield said, blood is thicker than water, but the United States is not qualified to exert influence outside the Americas and achieve mutual understanding with Britain.

Will it offend other European powers?

The reason why the Boers dared to stand up to the British Empire, the police force of today's world, was because there were people behind them. The government established by the Boers was always at odds with the British Empire, and the key reason was the issue of the right to rule South Africa. The Transvaal and the Orange were united

It became a permanent friendly alliance and received the support of the Germans. It was precisely because of the support of the Germans that the Boers boldly confronted the British. Due to the discovery of gold mines in South Africa, this confrontation became more and more intense.

It aroused the dissatisfaction of the Boers. In order to fight against the British, the Boers decided to think of ways to use blood is thicker than water. They used the monopoly rights of railways and explosives as bait to attract their mother countries, the Netherlands and Germany.

With help, German forces quickly invaded South Africa.

"Germany is very powerful, but the United Kingdom is even more powerful. Since the Venezuela crisis, the United States has reconciled with Britain. The past grudges have passed." Since the Venezuela crisis, the United Kingdom has recognized the United States' special interests in the Americas. What Britain thinks about is itself.

To rule the world, the United States rules the Americas to assist itself.

Although there is Chamberlain's kind of virtue in the UK, it is obvious that the public opinion that agrees with the English department is much stronger than the public opinion that agrees that Britain and Germany are both Germanic. Chamberlain has little room to develop, although Sheffield himself believes that Chamberlain's method is better than Churchill's.

many.

Chamberlain had done it, but Germany was still the second largest country in the world, sandwiched between France and Russia, and still needed help from Britain. Churchill continued to fight, and Britain was just one of the five elders.

Sheffield and Theodore Roosevelt discussed the relationship between the Spanish War and the Boers, as if they had met at a late date. This conversation made Theodore Roosevelt understand what Sheffield claimed to mean by having an international outlook.

Capitalists. These are capitalists with an international outlook.

Unlike William McClay and Mark Hanna, Theodore Roosevelt's desire for war was much stronger. Finally, Sheffield shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Roosevelt, to be honest, there are not many people like you in the Republican Party. In fact, you are not the same person as you."

The conversation was more like facing a Democrat. It’s not that I look down on the Republican Party and most of its supporters. They are like flowers in a greenhouse, simply ignorant and cute.”

An accurate map cannon blurted out, making Olney on the side slightly embarrassed. The loyal donor of the Democratic Party is so simple and frank. But it is true. Everyone knows that the Democratic Party is more warlike than the Republican Party, and the territory of the United States is

It was won when the Democratic Party was in power. The Republican Party, like its predecessor the Whig Party, knew it was opposed to the war.

"Maybe there are more belligerent people in the Democratic Party, but people's character does not depend on their party, Mr. William." Theodore Roosevelt said calmly, but did not refute too much.

After admiring each other, Sheffield mentioned another Spanish colony, the Philippines in Asia.

"What do William think?" Theodore Roosevelt thought. He felt that the Democratic Party's financial backer also had his own ideas on this issue.

"If we go to war with Spain, it will actually be easier to deal with Cuba right under our noses, but it will be difficult to deal with the Philippines in Asia. The Philippines is thousands of miles away, and we don't know the local area on the spur of the moment. This is the biggest problem.

." Sheffield sighed. He had paid too much for the United States. "Actually, in addition to the local indigenous people, there is a group that we can use for the interests of the United States."

"Chinese?" Theodore Roosevelt was silent for a moment and gave his own answer, "I don't know if I am right?"

"That's right, they are Chinese. There are Chinese groups in the Philippines, just like California." Sheffield looked at Theodore Roosevelt with admiration. In this era, not many people in the United States had a certain understanding of the global situation. The West in front of him

Otto Roosevelt actually did some research on Asia, which is worthy of appreciation. "In fact, both Cuba and the Philippines are currently resisting Spanish rule. This is the Spanish problem that gives the United States an opportunity to take action. But after we defeat Spain, this will

It becomes our question, how do we face these rebels?”

"Cuba's proximity shouldn't be a big problem, but if the Philippines doesn't have a force that can assist us, this matter will be very difficult to handle. The US troops who go out from the mainland are not familiar with the local terrain and are likely to cause massive losses. If we want to solve it,

For this problem, we need the assistance of a group, so I think the local Chinese can fulfill this responsibility." Sheffield paused and then said, "The Chinese are a group that pays attention to the collective, although they also spend most of their time on dealing with

But this is not a contradiction. There are vastly different people in any group. If we can gather the Chinese workers in California and send them to the Philippines, together with the local Chinese to assist our soldiers, this matter will be easier to handle."

"The anti-foreign sentiment in California will be greatly alleviated. To put it bluntly, although I employ Chinese workers, I am also worried about the increasing number of Chinese workers. I personally do not agree with the exclusion laws targeting a certain ethnic group. It is too obvious and will not be punished.

To be recognized by the international community, although our citizens will certainly recognize it.”

"If we can use this war to disperse some Chinese workers to the Philippines, I believe the citizens of California will be very satisfied. There will be fewer Chinese workers. Moreover, the Chinese workers who follow the US military can do logistics and help us a lot."

"How serious is the problem in California?" Theodore Roosevelt was shocked and thought carefully about Sheffield's thoughts.

"It is really serious. If the economy is not good, the problem will be magnified. So we need to solve it earlier. If we occupy the Philippines and solve the two problems together, I believe everything will be fine." Sheffield said very solemnly.

He said, "This is the purpose of my coming to see Mr. Roosevelt."

This is the best solution Sheffield can think of to get the best of both worlds. If the Chinese workers stay in the United States, they are destined to be a tragic group. Without the Chinese Exclusion Act, they will also be subject to other restrictions. And it is easy to assimilate a group of banana people, because the United States has come to

The strongest position in the world.

The Philippines is different. With the indigenous culture of the Philippines, it is still a bit difficult to assimilate the Chinese. The chance of becoming a banana person will be smaller.

"What if there really is a war? Mr. William hopes that the power of the United States will send these Chinese workers away? Even part of it?" Theodore Roosevelt pondered for a moment and said, "In what name?"

"I will issue a recruitment notice in the name of the United Company. As long as they get on the ship, everything will be fine. Of course, some Chinese labor leaders know about this, and I have made it clear to them." Sheffield said that everything is taken care of by himself.

, "As for the expenses incurred? As long as we occupy the Philippines, everything can be paid for by the locals. In this way, we solve the domestic problem and also gain help from the Philippines."

"Mr. William is really full of fantastic ideas!" Theodore Roosevelt shook his head slightly, and then said firmly, "If war is really inevitable, I am willing to help and let Chinese workers be responsible for the logistics of the army."

"The United Company and my partners will definitely fully support the United States in assisting the colonies and resisting the war against European imperialism. The logistics will be taken care of by me." Sheffield also made his own guarantee, and then said, "Mr. Roosevelt, if

It would be great if you were the president."

After leaving such a meaningless sentence, the two ended today's meeting and prepared to have the opportunity to meet again. Sheffield was going to send a telegram now. Who made him so patriotic?

"William, it seems that you have a good impression of Roosevelt as a Republican." After the two came out of Roosevelt's place, Olney asked slowly, "Is that so?"
