On July 22, the British delegation arrived in New York, USA.

New York was formerly not called by this name, but "New Amsterdam" and was a Dutch colony.

After the end of the Second Anglo-Dutch War, the defeated Netherlands was forced to cede New Amsterdam to the British, which happened to be the birthday of the Duke of York, the younger brother of King Charles II, so Charles II renamed New Amsterdam New Yorkshire as a gift to the Duke of York.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, New York was a new world for immigrants, and opportunities abounded so much that New York was also known as the "Big Apple," meaning beautiful, delicious, and everybody wanted to take a bite.

In 1920, New York was gradually replacing London as the world's financial center.

The United States has a territory of 9.3 million square kilometers, of which 197.45 million hectares are arable land, accounting for 13.15% of the world's total arable land area (150151 million hectares), making it the largest arable land in the world.

The United States is rich in resources, the total proven reserves of mineral resources rank first in the world, and the reserves of coal, oil, natural gas, iron ore, potash, phosphate, sulfur and other minerals rank among the top in the world, with a forest area of about 4.4 billion mu and a coverage rate of 33%.

The United States now has a population of more than 100 million, ranking fourth in the world, and its GDP surpassed that of Britain to become the world's largest at the end of the last century.

After the end of the world war, the United States challenged Britain's maritime supremacy, Britain's largest and most advanced warship is now the 46,800-ton battlecruiser with a full load displacement and eight 15-inch (381 mm) guns.

The "Colorado" class battleships, which began construction in the United States last year, have a full load displacement of 37,500 tons, and use 16-inch (401 mm) guns of a larger caliber than the "Hood", and the United States is preparing to build four battleships of this class.

In addition to the "Colorado" class battleships, the United States is also preparing to build the "Lexington" class battlecruisers with a full load displacement of 44,638 tons, and the battleships of this class are also equipped with 16-inch guns, and the United States is preparing to build six.

Once the United States builds these 10 battleships, then the whole world will be shrouded in the shadow of American battleships.

When the British delegation arrived in New York, the lead ship of the Colorado class "Colorado" was being built by the New York Shipbuilding Company, and after knowing the specific data of the "Colorado" class battleships and the US shipbuilding plan, the British delegation was Alexander.

"The Americans are crazy, ten battleships equipped with 16-inch guns, and the US government is not afraid of being dragged down financially." Viscount Gladstone lamented that Viscount Gladstone originally thought that southern Africa was a tyrant, but now looking at the United States' generosity, southern Africa is suddenly dwarfed.

Compared with the United States, southern Africa is at most a trench, and the United States is the real tyrant, and it is also the local tyrant.

"Don't be fooled by the Americans' little tricks, if the Americans are really rich, why should they propose to convene a naval conference-" Roque has long seen through the small tricks of the United States, and there is only one truth, that is, the United States has no money now, but the that was blown out can't be rounded back, so he got a naval conference to find a step for himself.

In the context of the economic crisis, the world's largest GDP must also tighten its belt.

"Ahh

"Same as you think." Roque sneered.

The virtues of Americans were well known in another time and place, and they are still very deceptive.

In another time and space, the United States relied on the illusory "Star Wars program" to drag the SOV to death, and then did not allow the fabrication of facts to launch the Gulf War, and even the US Secretary of State admitted that "we lied, deceived and stolen", which is the special "glory of the United States".

"But the threat to us from the Colorado-class battleships-" Viscount Gladstone worried, for by the standards of the Royal Navy, Britain now has no warships that can compete with the Colorado-class battleships, which was unimaginable in Britain before the World War.

Before the World War, the British Admiralty openly declared that for every battleship that Germany built, Britain would build two, in order to ensure the overwhelming superiority of the German Navy in the Royal Navy.

Now the British Admiralty is not shouting, and the Admiralty also wants to build bigger and stronger warships, but unfortunately Congress does not allocate funds.

"Instead of worrying about the 'Colorado' class battleships, we should worry about the Japanese 'Nagato' and 'Mutsu', which pose a greater threat to us." Roque was always wary of Japan, a country that exemplifies militarism.

Construction of the Japanese battleship Nagato began on August 28, 1917 and was launched on November 9, 1919.

The battleship "Nagato" has a standard displacement of 39,120 tons, a full load displacement of 42,850 tons, and is equipped with eight of Japan's most advanced 410 mm guns, with a maximum speed of 26.5 knots, but when it was made public, the Japanese Navy concealed its speed at 23 knots.

Before the outbreak of the world war, in order to confuse Germany, Britain announced the battleship "Queen Elizabeth" when it announced the battleship "Queen Elizabeth", and the 15-inch main gun equipped with the battleship "Queen Elizabeth" was reduced to 14 inches.

Since the American Revolution, there has been no war between the United States and Great Britain.

However, this does not mean that the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is fine, and now the United States is eyeing Canada and trying to annex Canada, which has led to growing tensions between the United States and the United Kingdom.

Britain had a wide range of interests in Asia, and after the World War, Japan regarded Asia as its own forbidden territory and was committed to expanding its influence, so sooner or later there would be a conflict between Britain and Japan.

"Japan is a bit mysterious, they really got the technology of 16-inch guns?" Viscount Gladstone was skeptical, presumably thinking that this was another smoke bomb thrown by Japan.

It is difficult to distinguish between true and false information released by various countries in the military field, and it is necessary to make efforts by the secret services to obtain true information.

"Maybe it's true, maybe it's more than 16 inches, it should be 16.14-" Roque has more information in his hand, 16 inches is 406, 16.14 is 410.

"Don't you have Brad under you, can you get some information out?" Viscount Gladstone has expectations for Roque, which seems to be the task of the Military Intelligence Agency, and Roque does not want to have another dispute.

Japan is also a very amazing country, ten years ago Japan's naval guns still needed to be purchased from other countries, and now it can produce the world's largest caliber naval guns, and it seems that Japan is open.

While he was talking, the battleship "Queen Elizabeth" sailed into New York Harbor.

This was the first time that British battleships came to the United States after the World War.

Because of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, there were a lot of people who came to the port to welcome the British delegation, Vice President Thomas Reilly Marshall, Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby were all present, and more than 3,000 Americans came to the port to welcome the British delegation.

Don't look at the fact that the GDP of the United States has surpassed that of the United Kingdom, in fact, the status of the United Kingdom in the eyes of Americans is still very special, after all, Britain was once the suzerainty of the United States.

It is a coincidence that Roque is wearing a British field marshal uniform, standing incomparably dazzling in the British delegation, in the British delegation, only Roque is an active soldier, everyone else is in ceremonial clothes, only Roque wears a military uniform, and it is impossible not to be noticed.

Roque looked at the welcoming crowd on the dock with an expressionless face, the United States in this era was still implementing the "Chinese Exclusion Act", and the attitude towards the Chinese was extremely repulsive, Roque is now British, but Roque has never forgotten that it is the blood of the Chinese that flows in his body.

As the battleship "Queen Elizabeth" docked, the sailors put the gangway onto the battleship "Queen Elizabeth", and Roque followed Balfour up the gangway.

"Good day, Lord Nyasaland—" Thomas Reilly Marshall smiled profusely, the rights of the Vice President of the United States and the President of the United States were very different, and if it were not for the inability of the current President, Woodrow Wilson, to handle government affairs, Marshall would not have had the opportunity to greet the British delegation in Wilson's place.

"Your Excellency President, good morning—" Roque was courteous, the "Chinese Exclusion Act" implemented in the United States was strictly speaking irrelevant to Roque, who is now British.

The Japanese delegation who arrived in the United States early to New York was greeted at the pier.

The head of the Japanese delegation was the Minister of the Navy, Baron Yuzaburo Kato, an artillery expert and one of the important figures in Japan in building the navy after Gonbei Yamamoto, who served as the prime minister of Japan in the future, and was awarded the title of viscount and generalissimo.

"Lord Nyasaland, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I hope to have dinner with you if I can." Yuzaburo Kato was rather urgent, presumably believing that Roque, as a Chinese-American, should align his Asian interests with those of the Japanese Empire.

"Good day, Lord—" Roque is really not very enthusiastic, the Japanese and the Chinese, the hatred can't be resolved at all.

It was at this time that Roque was surprised to find that someone on the dock was plausing the slogan "Yellow people get out of New York".

This aggression is a bit clear, and Roque goes directly to Marshall, reminding Marshall how vicious the slogan is.

Marshall's face turned pale, and immediately a large group of secret police rushed over and directly pushed the person holding the sign to the ground.

During the World War, the American Expeditionary Force also had to fight with the British Expeditionary Force, and Roque was indeed Chinese, but no one dared to treat Roque with an attitude towards the Chinese.

"I'm sorry, Lord Nyasaland, that's not what we want to see—" Marshall personally apologized to Roque.

Roque smiled politely, and there was a sentence that MMP really wanted to greet Marshall's ancestors for eight generations, and this kind of thing actually happened on such an occasion, and there was a problem with the organization and discipline of the U.S. government.

Also normal, it's very American.
