The U.S. government was clearly aware of this. On January 22, 1900, John Hay deliberately misinterpreted the contents of Russia's reply in a letter to the ambassador to Russia. He said: "Our business now is to give Russia's reply as much power as possible.

In a broad sense, we certainly believe that Russia accepted our proposal without many reservations." On March 20, John Hay announced to the countries that he had received replies from the countries concerned that their commitment to the open door principle was "final.

"Definite and certain". This announcement was unrealistic, but it got the United States out of trouble.

In the following time, the Americans continued to work hard towards the goal of opening the door. Until the end of the First World War, they finally became China's largest trading partner. Other powers, especially economically developed countries, saw this.

Li Cong also looked at the benefits that this article could bring to them from the perspective of Americans back then.

From the beginning of the war on Europa to now, the Americans have contributed no less than themselves, but what have they gained? The Turkish Strait is still in a stalemate, Sicily has been defeated, and almost nothing else has been gained.

, the only place with strategic significance is Gibraltar, but because of the surrender of American soldiers, they directly withdrew from the area. If Li Cong was the leader of the Skull and Bones Society, he would not continue to waste time and money in this place.

It would be better to find another place.

He has a good grasp of the places that Li Cong has occupied. First of all, the Suez Canal area has been completely occupied by himself, and he has spent a lot of money in this area. It is absolutely not possible to partner with the Americans here. The only thing that can be done is to partner with the Americans.

The places are Corsica and Gibraltar. Corsica was very important in the past, but now that we have Gibraltar, why do we need Corsica? Why not share these two places with Americans?

If necessary, he can even withdraw from Corsica, but as long as he has a place in Gibraltar, doesn't what he wants is to block the entire Mediterranean Sea?

Moreover, Li Cong also thought that Great Russia also needs a base in the Mediterranean. At that time, he can even give part of Corsica to the Russians. In this way, it is estimated that the Europeans will really be unable to save the day. How can he resist?

Three big countries? This is absolutely impossible. In fact, as long as you can get the Suez Canal after the war, it will be fine. On the surface, you have the upper hand now, but if you continue to fight, just look at your daily consumption.

, I have to spend billions of euros every day to blockade the British Isles. I can afford it in a short time, but if it takes a long time, where do I get so much money? If I spend my money on the British Isles,

He used all his strength and was fooled by them. Isn't that exactly what Europa wanted him to do?

Li Cong sent a note to the U.S. State Department and the Russian Kremlin. Li Cong's meaning was very clear. Even though he felt that there was some chaos in the southern part of Europa, he still hoped for international co-management of this area, especially when he occupied it.

In the areas of Gibraltar and Corsica, the Russians and Americans were dumbfounded when they received it. The Li Cong they knew was not such a person. This guy never gave in, and these things were in his mouth.

This kid can actually let go of his stuff? It’s quite a surprise.

It would be a fool not to take advantage of it. Although I knew that Li Cong definitely had no good intentions, I couldn't just let it go. The two parties immediately sent heavyweights to the energy group headquarters to negotiate with Li Cong to see who he was.

What kind of charter? As for Europa, even allies like Great Russia don’t care about it at the moment, let alone the Americans. As long as it’s not your own interests that you sell, you can do whatever you want with the love of others. Who has so much?

I have been wasting my time with you, especially Great Russia. Many people on my side died and money was spent, but what did I get in the end? If they can have a naval base in Corsica, then they

It is impossible for the Black Sea Fleet to stay in an inland sea all the time. If Turkey dares to block the Turkish Strait, its Black Sea Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet will attack from both sides to make him look good. Although they cooperated with this feud a while ago,

After all, there are still many elements of hatred. After fighting for so many years, peace cannot be achieved by just saying a few words about peace. It is almost like lying to a child.

The person who came over from Great Russia was Sequoia Tree’s second-in-command, General Shabalov, a guy with a military background. Although he does not have any position in the army now, this guy still wore a military uniform. When he came, Great Russia

The military advisor directly told Li Cong that this was one of his own, and if anything happened, just tell him straight, so Li Cong's attitude towards him was still very good.

Li Cong was a little surprised by the person sent by the Skull and Bones Society. She was the woman who almost became his daughter-in-law. She now had a title called Princess Kaya. I don’t know where the Skull and Bones Society got the noble title. In short,

She also calls her whatever she is called. She originally wanted to call her son to talk to her, but her son said it would be better not to see her. She is as passionate as me, but unlike Li Cong, this is

When the boy was done playing, he didn't want it anymore. Li Cong invited him to his own home. There was still a big gap between father and son in this aspect. Li Cong felt that he needed to educate his little bastard son.

"I believe you are all aware of the open door policy. This is what I mean this time. I hope that Gibraltar and Corsica, which I occupy, can be co-managed by the three of us, and even Europa can be co-managed by the four of us, so as to end this damn thing." As you know, I am the most peace-loving person. Because of this, I can even temporarily give up some of my own interests. What do you think?" Since everyone is smart, there is no need to go around. In a roundabout way, Li Cong directly launched his policy of opening the door and sharing benefits, but the difference is that Americans wanted to take advantage of others, while Li Cong took advantage of his own. Let everyone get involved together. Such lively Lei Feng is rare nowadays.

"Haha, Mr. Li is really very generous, but as far as I know, the Gibraltar region is currently at war. Mr. Li has not taken any advantage in any region. Mr. Li is even at a disadvantage. Are we going to be dragged into the water now if we can't hold on?" Princess Kaya also inherited her father's cunning and cunning character. This little girl is not a fool. She knew that Li Cong had beaten her when she saw this jump. What was her idea? But this benefit was really big, and she was a little tempted. She also understood that as long as the three families united to bully the other family, there would be absolutely no way for that family to survive, and they had to agree.

"Princess Kaya's words are good. I think Mr. Li thinks we are all fools?" Shabalov looks like a drunkard and a pervert at first glance. This guy has been drinking Li Cong's wine since he came in. Those eyes never left Princess Kaya, but Li Cong could see clearly from this guy's eyes that this guy was no ordinary fool. What he said now seemed reckless, but it was just poking. Li Cong's.

"You two can see it, and I also made it clear that I can't afford this place by myself, and I hope you can come together." Originally, the two of them thought that Li Cong would have to quibble with himself for a while, but they never expected that. Li Cong actually admitted it like this, which made the two of them a little confused about how to deal with it. Li Cong was really capable at this time.

"Everyone has seen what my family is capable of. I have no ability to do anything to them. It is not impossible for me to persist, but I will suffer huge losses. Thousands of soldiers are killed and wounded every day. I think I will suffer such losses." I can't afford it myself, so I hope you two can come with me and let's divide these two places together." Li Cong still looked like an honest man. If they didn't know what Li Cong did before, they would really be surprised. I just thought that Li Cong was a kind-hearted person who was harmless to humans and animals.

"Mr. Li, if I hadn't been drunk and talking nonsense, I remember that Mr. Li also gained a very important place this time, which is the Suez Canal. Doesn't Mr. Li want to share our interests here?" Khabarov said. This guy really dares to speak.

"There? Is the general really drunk now? How much did my soldiers pay to occupy there? Do you think I didn't spend money to occupy it? Do you know how much I paid in Egypt? Suez I won't talk to you about the canal. It's my own. If you don't want to do it, I'll just ask my troops to retreat. I don't have the ability to defend Gibraltar and Corsica, but if I concentrate If all the troops defend the Suez Canal, I think I can hold it even if the three of you join forces." Li Cong was not exaggerating when he said this. Now the Afrika Korps has millions of people who can reach the Suez Canal in one day. And everyone knows that the place where Li Cong has the strongest military strength is Africa. It would be very unwise to confront Li Cong or look for trouble there. Li Cong said this to let them see that it is impossible for you to Occupied there, that is my territory, and they also saw it, as if this Li Cong now was the Li Cong they knew, and the previous one seemed to be an illusion.

The two people looked at each other. What are they here to negotiate? Li Cong has stipulated everything for them. They are here just to listen to Li Cong and sign the contract honestly. Can they give up? Absolutely not.

, if Li Cong retreats directly, Li Cong will of course suffer losses, but Li Cong also obtains the Suez Canal, but Europa is offended, and he can't get anything. Isn't this a human inside and outside, especially

It's Great Russia. Although they kept the matter of sending representatives to negotiate with Li Cong very secret, they all knew that such a thing would spread out soon. They had already sacrificed their lives because they needed the territory. Although Corsica was not very

Like this, but if they want to get a share of the pie, they also have their own base in the Mediterranean. The Americans have no idea about Corsica. What they need is Gibraltar. If their army has not retreated, they may not have to fight with Li Cong.

Talked.
