In addition to the two most suspicious naval officers, the survivors of the explosion of the USS Maine are naturally among them. However, the process does not have to be so directly violent to the two of them. You can use the chat of the angel in white to let these wounded people put their minds at ease.

Be careful and tell us what happened that day.

Although these wounded people will definitely use the bulk of their narratives to describe how brave they were that day, hoping to use this experience to gain a relationship and deceive a Dixie girl, their methods are destined to fail. The so-called

The brave experience and calm attitude in the face of danger are worthless. When they were sent to Sheffield, they had been completely deleted.

This is just the beginning. The United Company will definitely follow this clue bit by bit. Even if the mastermind behind it cannot be found, it will still get things done. Sheffield feels that with Theodore Roosevelt

With his current position and status, he certainly cannot be the mastermind behind the scenes, but he must be an insider.

As the war approaches, United Corporation, as an important part of the business community in the United States, is following the clues and preparing to find out the truth behind the undercurrent. Although it is a bit unreasonable, Sheffield feels that it is understandable. It is obvious that Yang Gang wants to

If you want to monopolize the profits, then you can't blame yourself for cutting off Hu. Why didn't you consider hurting the feelings of the Dixie people when you planned it?

Since robbery is a crime committed by a gang, it is better to agree on the distribution method in advance. Since the distribution is unfair, then don't blame yourself for taking advantage of the gangsters. This is all what you asked for.

While the investigation into the explosion of the USS Maine was still going on, Sheffield received a telegram from Evelyn from Los Angeles, which stated that she had signed contracts with as many Chinese workers as possible, and the total had reached seventy-five thousand.

With the help of Chinese leaders in San Francisco, things went smoothly.

The only thing that didn't go well was that this move was criticized by some newspapers. As for these newspapers, Sheffield knew who they belonged to without having to think about it. He used newspapers to incite hatred against Chinese workers every day, but he couldn't let him solve the problem? Wait until he has free hands.

, he insisted on letting this Irishman know that the British population is still your father even in the United States.

Use a telegram to tell Evelin not to worry about the noise. After this period of time, he will naturally be free to deal with these excrement workers. The signing of contracts for Chinese workers will continue. The more the better.

Personally, Sheffield sympathizes with these Chinese workers who have left their hometowns, but reason tells him that some things should be resolved early. The Chinese workers staying in the United States will only end up with an uncomfortable outcome for both parties. Based on the appearance of the yellow race, this group cannot fight

The top of the pyramid of the United States.

There will be countless means to prevent this from happening, whether it is private or government, visible or shady, the stereotype is still to directly use the bill. Anyway, Sheffield thought about it briefly, even if a Chinese briefly reached the top of the pyramid of the United States

, also failed to hold up due to various reasons. If there were no restrictions, he would not believe it.

Anyway, thinking about it from another place, he felt that if an important industry of any country was dominated by a group with a mother country outside, it would be a very bad thing. Furthermore, once the mother country of the Chinese becomes powerful, it will eventually be considered a rival by the United States.

, what will happen.

Anyway, during World War I, the German population was widely accused of being potential national traitors because they did not want the United States to side with the Allied Powers and declare war on the German Empire. This was the treatment for the largest single source of immigrants, the Germans. During World War II, Japanese people were

It is a well-known fact that he was imprisoned in a concentration camp.

The more intense the confrontation, the more the Chinese population will become inhumane inside and out. The Chinese will try their best to show their loyalty to the United States, but this loyalty is useless. Suspicion of the Chinese community will always exist. If that time comes, even the Chinese Exclusion Act will be

The lightest reaction. Today's move is to avoid future harm. He feels that he has done his best. The Philippines is at least a suitable place to go.

On the eve of the war breaking out at any time, Sheffield was still busy using the country to profit. This was because he had this foundation and firmly believed that the United States would definitely win a complete victory. Therefore, the internal struggle was of course much more important than the external struggle. After this war

The United States will have a new understanding of European countries, and perhaps its admiration for foreign countries will be reduced to a certain extent.

Spain in Europe, on the other hand, is much more gloomy and gloomy than the American continent, which is full of enthusiasm and can't wait for the war to start soon. Both the government and the people are pessimistic about going to war with the United States. Compared with the prosperity of several centuries, facing the

The stringent demands made one after another by the United States, the inability to advance and retreat, and the forbearance and helplessness shown by Spanish diplomats were passed on to every Spanish citizen.

The Spanish Empire had been in decline ever since it was stolen from its home by Napoleon. It was fraught with internal political turmoil between liberals and conservatives, its economy was collapsing, and its colonies were revolting. Its fleet was destroyed at Trafalgar

Destroyed. After that, Spain lost almost all of its southern and Central American colonies. Basically, the Spanish Empire was long gone. Spain was a country that was falling apart, and its empire was just a few scattered pieces of land that served as reminders of its glory days.

Residue.

Now that it has been humiliated by the United States of America, not only the government wants to calm down the matter, but even ordinary people in Spain do not feel that there is any hope of victory.

Spain cannot even find a European country to speak for it. Spain cannot be the only country asking for aid that can help it. It will want its own colonies or have no interest in destroying trade relations with the United States. Except for Britain and Germany,

In addition, there is no navy in Europe that can launch transoceanic operations. The Russian Empire can give it a try, but why does the Russian Empire want to help Spain, which cannot be hit with eight poles?

The Spaniards sadly found that they could not find any country that could help them. They could not even scare the Americans and make this emerging power think more about it and stop bullying themselves so much to save Spain some face.

The only reasonable path was to try to negotiate a solution with the United States, and Spain did the same, maintaining a tragic restraint on the bellicose rhetoric and threats of the United States, even swallowing the humiliation of being refused a joint investigation.

Alfonso XIII, who was only twelve years old, listened to the sad predictions of the Minister of Military Affairs in the palace, and also heard the Minister of Trade's assessment of the strength of the United States. His expression did not change, or he simply had nothing to do. Spain is now

It's no longer the era of the Invincible Fleet, it's not even a hundred years ago, and we simply don't have the ability to fight the Americans.

"But the Americans are humiliating us. All their actions are arrogant. Their warships stay close to the port for a long time. Their newspapers fan the flames. They have been hating Spain for more than a year. They have been preparing for who knows how long.

Time, we lower our heads and dare not look into the eyes of Americans, can we avoid this war?" Although Alfonso XIII is young, as the King of Spain, he still has enough status to accept the information, naturally

He knows everything his country faces, including the Americans who are aggressive with their ships and cannons.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Americans are humiliating us. They have trampled on the dignity of the Spanish Empire and let the world see how they humiliated a once glorious empire. They also show the citizens of the United States how poor our country is now.

We are so arrogant." The Minister of the Navy lowered his head and said sadly, "Even if we don't fight, they will force us to fight. The Americans are indifferent to our goodwill before, and Spain cannot escape this war."

"Your Majesty, no Spaniard believes what the Americans say. All of us know that the explosion of the USS Maine has nothing to do with us, but every American believes that they want war and use Spain's defeat to prove the strength of the United States.

, they didn’t dare to do this to the British, they didn’t dare to do this to the Germans, and they specifically picked us.”

The splendid palace is filled with a sad atmosphere. Compared with the palaces built during the glorious period of Spain, this atmosphere is even more sad. There is only the last day left before the deadline given by the Americans. Maybe once the time passes, it will be too late.

The American fleet, which has been waiting for a long time, will attack Spain's overseas territories.

"We have no choice, right? Let's keep our last bit of dignity. If we can't escape, we will leave everything to God for judgment." Alfonso XIII's immature face was full of sorrow, and there was no way out now.

In fact, just two days ago, the U.S. fleet blocked the U.S. Navy's blockade of the northern ports of Cuba and the port of Santiago. This was already an actual act of war and was just waiting for Spain's reaction.

The news that Spain declared war on the United States greatly increased the sales of newspapers that advocated war. The news that Spain did not correct its mistakes and took the initiative to declare war on the United States was quickly known to all citizens through the coverage of newspapers.

.Voices supporting the federal government’s declaration of war appeared one after another in major newspapers.

"I guess the Spaniards' resentment and helplessness at this time, as well as their hatred for our country, must be unprecedented, but I will not sympathize with them, I will not sympathize with any weak existence. Everyone must be responsible for their own choices.

When the Spanish Empire was still there, they made their enemies feel this way. What can't be accepted today?" Sheffield chuckled and said, "Even if God wants to uphold justice, does it depend on which believer is better?

How many? Who gives more advantages and disadvantages? We have a population of more than 80 million."
