"At that time, we will be able to obtain the status that best suits us in the world. As an important factor with geographical location in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and even the Arctic Ocean, when the United States reaches such a height, the status of the United States will happen Absolute advantage radiated.
In the Pacific, Japan will face our pressure instead of us facing theirs. Spain's war in Europe has damaged their bones. Whether it is physical or losing, they are unable to launch another war against us in the Pacific. possible. , so they will turn a blind eye to us in the Pacific at this time. If Germany fails, then the best condition for us to support them is that maybe Germany has colonies in the movement area, as long as we obtain Germany's colonies in the movement area. With only half of the Far East colonies, we can gain the power to establish a foothold there and develop the next step. If this situation is opened, we will then rely on our huge economic aggregate to develop our military hardware, etc. Wait, by this time, we will definitely not be tied up in the Pacific as we are now, but will be able to show off our abilities and roam freely on it without restraint. "
Elihu Root was not very optimistic: "When we were in the White House, I thought this might be the best, but at that time, no one thought that Spain would rise so fast. ., Alas, all the successive secretaries of state and presidents have secretly laughed in order to calculate the contradictions in Europe. They would have thought that they would use calculations to measure the size of our American opportunities to benefit from the European war. However, Spain suddenly jumped out. They disrupted our steps as if making trouble, which is really helpless."
Theodore has noticed that Elihu Root has relaxed his mind. This is the time when he must seize the opportunity and press forward, saying: "No, although the rise of Spain is beyond our expectations, But isn't this more perfect?" Seeing Elihu Root who was a little confused. He explained: "Don't you think that such a war, which was originally an alliance between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, when facing countries such as Britain, France, Russia and their allies, would not be able to completely defeat the United States? Will it rise? And the rise of Spain is the most important thing that can make up for this shortcoming. The relationship between Spain and the German Empire is unclear. It is directly allied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and France and Russia are the same. Yes, the British continued to hold a large sum of pounds beside them and raised it high and carefully, thinking about how to maximize the opportunity to make money.
Many people believe that the result of this is that Europe will not be able to truly fight a war. This is the best and most likely scenario. But have they ever thought about it. In fact, the previous loss was too great, so the German Empire did not dare to move. France was also afraid that the German Empire would go crazy and did not dare to move. It was afraid that the German Empire would go crazy and take the greatest direct revenge on France. The same was true for Russia. So everyone has some scruples. However, with the joining of Spain, there were some worries about the war between European countries, and they even said that they were using Spain's joining to activate the balance between them. At that time, everyone knew that they might face The person who strikes first may win consecutively after defeating the opponent. It is possible that the person who strikes first strikes first and starts the war first. So this situation will maximize the possibility of war. "
This time, Elihu Root didn¡¯t know what to say. He also understood Theodore¡¯s trust in him. Looking at Theodore's blazing eyes with great expectation, he felt moved in his heart and just wanted to speak.
At this time, the phone inside rang. Theodore screamed in his heart and looked a little embarrassed. He had already scolded the person who called him thousands of times, but he was still dissatisfied. He still picked up the phone and answered the call from the person who ruined his good deeds.
And Elihu Root, who had already decided his position, felt a little funny when he saw Theodore's dissatisfied face.
But when he felt incredible, Theodore, who was originally dissatisfied with the call, actually laughed loudly while listening to the call. That had made him forget how many years he hadn't seen such a smile. This made Root puzzled. He was thinking about what kind of phone content would make Theodore so excited. How could he not do it so soon? Yes, he got the answer he wanted from Theodore's mouth.
"What, when King Alfonso X of Spain took a Spanish warship from the Suez Canal through the Red Sea and wanted to go to Madagascar to condolences the Spanish soldiers there, the warship he was riding on actually triggered a large number of mines in the Red Sea and sank to the bottom of the sea. Many people have disappeared, including Alfonso XIII, his intelligence officer Chirac, and the Spanish female major general Laura. How is this possible?"
The news came so suddenly that he was not prepared at all. He knew that if this news spread, the world might change dramatically, and even?Compared to the changes in the situation they just mentioned, compared to the changes brought about by Spain now, the changes with the disappearance of Alfonso have a more influential impact on the world, because Alfonso is a person in Spain. The influence will definitely be far greater than that of a Spain that has developed but does not have Alfonso. It will be easier to deal with. He looked at Theodore Roosevelt, and Theodore also looked at him.
Both of them saw the flames of excitement in each other's eyes.
"If God hadn't given us the opportunity this time, I would never have believed it. I know that we should definitely take advantage of it this time. Root, you go to the Senate to convince those guys and let them support our proposal to strengthen Exchanges with Russia, France and other countries, as well as the United Kingdom, also tried to win over them. I went to chat with those guys in the House of Representatives and persuaded them to give Taft another layer of gravity. , I believe that after knowing about Alfonso XIII, they will definitely take the opportunity to fall into the trap to improve their interests in South America and reap their benefits."
"Maybe you are right, God, maybe he really cares about us the most, but I think the movement should not be too loud. Otherwise, if nothing happens to that guy, then if we turn the gun to deal with Spain specifically, it will cost us The scapegoat for those damn consortiums."
Theodore also thought it was good, nodded in agreement and said: "Not bad, let's go"
