Chapter 48 Gunboat Diplomacy
If calculated strictly, the most important factor in the negotiations between the two sides depends on the basis of national strength. The fact is that Germany is stronger than the United States in the field of science and technology, and the same is true in the military field. In the impression of people around the world, Germany is stronger than the United States. So this is
The economic and trade agreement was destined to be more beneficial to the German Empire.
Some people say that the British are good enough in the field of diplomacy to be the father of diplomats from various countries. Sheffield does not agree with this view. Without the support of Britain's extensive colonies and the first navy, there would be no basis for British diplomats to perform. This is the same as the draft.
, having the No. 1 pick in your hand may not necessarily prevent parallel imports, and the chance of a second-round pick becoming a talent is indeed much smaller.
Even when choosing alliance partners, in today's world, the British choose first. After the British have finished selecting, other countries will choose from the leftovers of the British candidates, and this choice will be greatly reduced.
The good thing about this era is that Britain really does not have the foundation to dominate the world, and the second, third, and fourth should not be underestimated. When the United States rules the world in later generations, there will not be many countries that are qualified to rise.
"Don't be so sad. Are you afraid that you won't be able to come back after going to London? The British are still very gentlemen!" He had just toasted with many German friends and returned to the camp of the United States.
"The Germans are very proud!" Russell Kanter was not very interested and almost put on a bad face like a weak country without diplomacy.
"What's the point!" Sheffield disagreed. It seemed that he didn't care about the agreement that was more beneficial to Germany. Originally, it was the truth that a weak country had no diplomacy. Since it was the truth, he, a businessman who abides by the rules, naturally would not destroy it. Moreover, for
If it's not good for the federation, it's good for your own family.
At this stage, what our family needs most is transformation, to become an existence that can speak out in industry and agriculture. It has not even settled domestic matters, how can it have time to point fingers at European powers? If you have this ability, the Monroe Doctrine will not be rejected.
Did you think it was a fart?
"The homeland of these European countries is not only the size of a state in our country. The strength of these countries in the framework of a medium power can be predicted at a glance. We have already seen the strength of European countries, but they still see the strength of our United States.
No, if you have time, let’s first expand our voice in the Americas.” Sheffield instilled the concept of a middle power in Russell Kanter.
When the concept of middle power first appeared, scholars in the United States summarized European countries such as Britain, France, and Germany. Although any of these countries are stronger than the United States, they cannot be summarized by Turkey, Spain, and Colombia in later generations.
existence within.
The concept of Britain, France, and Germany as a middle power is closely related to the desire of the citizens of the United States for the coming of the American Century. It also summarizes whether the European countries are strong or not. This in turn proves that the population and land area of the United States are several times that of the European countries, and the American Century will surely come.
This is completely different from the later generations who sneaked in a group of countries that did not deserve their name.
Many concepts change over time. Who knew that the Democratic Party of this era would turn into a white left group in a hundred years? No one would believe it.
He comforted the Secretary of State's staff with some polite words, and waited until the other party's mood improved before Sheffield started again, returning to being surrounded by representatives of the Ruhr area. Where was he? He just suffered a little loss from Germany. Sheffield
I am also planning to go to the UK and suffer some losses.
As for whether the U.S. dollar or the British pound is more valuable, the answer is that they are equally valuable. But which currency is more widely used, it must be the British pound. If the United Kingdom takes a tough stance against the United States, then the farmers of the United States are most likely to suffer.
Exports of livestock products, after all, the United States’ industrial products are not very competitive.
As a descendant of a farmer, Sheffield feels that a vulnerable group like himself should not bear sanctions. He understands the principle that one must first settle domestic problems when fighting foreign countries. The value of foreign exchange can be seen from the recent domestic economic depression. But the country
Since it is a matter of the state, it is better not to affect your own family.
The matter of patent authorization is naturally handled by people from the branch. An unlearned person like Sheffield does not need to go into battle in person. The last stop is London. If he had not been able to figure out what to get from Diou, he would actually still be there.
I really want to go to St. Petersburg, but because I don’t have enough time, I can only talk about it later.
The country is a matter of the country. Sheffield feels that this will not hinder his patent authorization. After all, he has to pay. Even Krupp, the backbone of the German empire's military industry, the British can pay according to the contract.
He has done nothing against the UK and has no reason to be targeted.
Before the U.S. Secretary of State arrived in London, many newspapers ridiculed O'Neill, "The little friend back then has grown up, and now he knows how to hide behind the Germans and speak loudly."
This kind of cold joke is very hypocritical to the British taste, mocking Americans for not knowing their own capabilities, and also showing a high profile.
O'Neill showed no stage fright at all. After arriving in London, he issued a strongly worded statement, "We are friends and allies in American countries, both north and south. The United States of America cannot tolerate an American country being conquered by a European country."
“Today, the United States of America actually has the highest power in the American continent, and its orders are law to the subjects within its jurisdiction...The unlimited resources of the United States, coupled with the geographical location of the United States isolated from other continents,
Making it the master of the situation, the United States of America is indestructible against any or all powers."
"The British conquest and invasion of Venezuela are essentially damaging the interests of the United States of America. For this reason, when it comes to national interests in the Western Hemisphere, the United Kingdom must accept arbitration by the United States of America. If the United Kingdom does not accept arbitration led by the federal government
, that may greatly affect the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Any negative impact arising from this will make the United States of America doubt the leadership of the British."
The Secretary of State's aggressive statement was quickly conveyed to the other side of the Atlantic via telegram, arousing jubilation from the citizens of the United States. Both parties agreed that O'Neill's statement perfectly reflected the United States' position on the Venezuelan crisis.
"It sounds like you, the United States, are planning to conduct gunboat diplomacy against our British Empire? Isn't that right?" The man who spoke said very gentlemanly, "Did the Germans promise something?"
"That's all for the election, and there will be another election soon." Sheffield said without caring at all, "Our family's attitude towards the British Empire is consistent, but some people in the country don't think so. We always have to show up.
