"Do you know who will benefit the most after this war?" White House, Washington, U.S. Secretary of State Richard Brown. Olney looked at Theodore in front of him. Roosevelt said.

"I think it's Russia. After the end of the Qing-Japanese War, the Qing State will naturally be more exhausted as the losing side. At most, Japan was compensated by making up for the loopholes in the war and some of the trade facilitation, while Russia, with the help of the Germans, won the favor of the Qing on the one hand, and greatly suppressed potential opponents on the other. At the same time a large number of economic benefits are obtained. Roosevelt pondered for a moment.

"And how do you think we, the United States of America, have benefited from this war?" Olney continued.

"We've made some money. The doors of the Qing Kingdom were further opened, and our goods and capital could pour in. Although investing in Japanese bonds may only be a small profit, it is not a loss. Moreover, we have also cooperated with the Japanese government to some extent, and in the future in the Far East, the relationship between the two sides will be one step closer. Although it didn't make a lot of money, maybe it didn't make as much as Germany, but it can't be considered a loss, right? Roosevelt said with a smile.

"You're right! We're losing money this time! The little we gained in Japan was not enough to compensate for our losses, and the Russians began to penetrate to the northeast, Germany gained economic benefits on the southeast coast and Shandong, and France consolidated its influence in the southwest. The Yangtze River basin is the sphere of influence of the British, what do we get? Japan has got a trade facilitation, and this convenience is still universal! We didn't actually get anything! ”

"As for the friendship of the Japanese government? This is even more of a joke, how does a weak Japan qualify for the friendship of the United States of America? What can they help us? Our Navy has no bases in the Far East, and therefore has no voice. As long as Russia, Germany and France are together, no one can shake this. ”

"Also, let me tell you again, the Japanese finally chose to go completely to the British. All the exchange of interests that we have negotiated, that we are going to negotiate, and that we are going to negotiate with Japan have been reduced to ashes! The Japanese would rather show favor to the Germans, who once beat them, than give us any benefit! You know why? Because we have no influence on the Far East, we do not have a fleet to deploy in the Far East! They think we're bullies, and I've said these bastards can't socialize! That's how they were when they were in trouble for us in Hawaii, they were wolves! ”

Olney's expression gradually became excited, and he said indignantly! And opposite Theodore. Roosevelt could only listen silently, it turned out that he was originally inclined to support Japan's opponent, Russia, but now, after the end of this war, Russia has not only not been suppressed, but has a tendency to become bigger, and Japan, which wants to become a friend, has completely thrown off the United States. Of course, some basic economic and trade exchanges have continued, and even expanded somewhat, but if we want to talk about political mutual assistance and assistance, let's forget about it.

Japan now has such a small amount of money in such a place, and the British are a little too small to go in, and they have to share some of the profits to Germany and France, and the United States can't even share some of the leftovers. Just as Roosevelt said, the United States still made some money this time, but the ideal is very beautiful, and the reality is very backbone. I wasted half a day of hard work, but the results were not satisfactory. And for Olney's accusations, Roosevelt could only endure it, who let him do his own incompetence, and if he did something wrong, he would have to take the blame, which is a very normal thing.

"Did you realize your mistake?" Olney said, glancing at the other party.

"Forget it, someone will help you carry this pot, compared to those redundant members of the Admiralty, you are still enterprising, and it will be of great help to this country. But remember, from now on, you must beware of the Japanese! Be sure to watch out for the Japanese! The Japanese lost, with the help of the British, they couldn't die, and if the Russians lost, then the Far East became the world of Britain and Japan, so even if the Russians couldn't win, but at the same time they couldn't let Japan win, understand? Olney said word for word.

"Actually, we have to change our unfavorable situation in the Far East. Do you see what I mean? Roosevelt said something that seemed inexplicable to outsiders.

"We'll talk about that later, at least not now. We need time to prepare. By then, I may no longer be in this position, but I will still support you, my friend. Olney said sincerely. This made Roosevelt very moved.

I don't know what the contents of the document that Ito asked British Prime Minister Salsbury to personally open and read, but not long after it was sent, about one month, a telegram from Britain instructed Chamberlain to fully cooperate with the Japanese action.

Of course, this cooperation is just like that, don't think about cutting land, Japan can't get an inch of territory. But on the issue of reparations, Britain and Japan stood together, little by little, from the hands of the Triple Alliance! The two sides even negotiated little by little in units of one million taels of silver.

This time, the British have made a lot of money, and even some of the benefits that they originally planned to eat for themselves have been ceded, and the Russians don't think about it, they will not let go. Germany and France still have room to maneuver, the British said well.

"See my little brother, he can't produce anything now, he is preparing to fight in the future, he needs industry and all kinds of equipment, and the money of the Qing Kingdom has not been sent to you in a circle when he has it? What if you give up some? You have finished tossing Japan's colonies, and the trade treaty has become universal, and you have also reaped the benefits of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Germany and France think about it, too, they have gained some benefits by helping Russia wave their flags, but it feels a little less, and it would be better to get some benefits from the Japanese, besides, what is the relationship between Germany and France? That's a mortal enemy! It's good not to say a few harsh words to each other when we meet, and it's a miracle to be able to sit together this time. Everyone is afraid that the other party will speak first, and then they will suffer,

The British diplomacy is really worthy of being a master, and even the striking, even frightened, really let him find a breakthrough. After Japan expressed its willingness to buy a batch of army rapid-fire guns and artillery shell production lines from Germany, the German government finally relented, of course, this order had little to do with Ruprecht, who bought Krupp guns, and Ruprecht had no other benefits than those royalties. The representative of Germany said that Japan's claim for compensation could be considered. And once this gap appears, the concessions of the Triple Alliance will become inevitable.

The third is more ~~~, ask for a reward~~~, ask for a collection ~.
