"General Yang, there seems to be an Oriental among these captives." The next morning, when Yang Yonglin was having breakfast with the officers after washing, Hipperl whispered.

"Really? What's that person's name? Yang Yonglin asked habitually.

"That person is a Japanese, it seems that his name is Hikonojo Uemura!" Hipper continued. How do you feel like this name is familiar? Hipper's mind was a little puzzled.

"God, it can't be the same Uemura Hikonojo who was captured in the Sino-Japanese War, right?" Jericho knew a lot about this war, so his first reaction was to think of the Japanese captain who was captured in the waters off Toshima!

"That's an acquaintance." Yang Yonglin was also taken aback, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. I'm not sure if it's this person, but it's interesting to meet this person in the distant Caribbean.

"Anything else?" Yang Yonglin then asked.

"And a brigadier general...... It's called Dewey. It was the commander of this fleet, and when the USS Brooklyn sank, he was saved by the crew. Hipper said.

"Mr. Hipper, you make arrangements, I hope I can meet with these two men." After pondering for a moment, Yang Yonglin said..........

At this moment, in one of the King's cabins, Dewey, Uemura Hikonojo, and an American sailor who was responsible for taking care of Dewey were staying in a clean cabin. Because Dewey was an officer and wounded, the Spaniards set aside a sailor's quarters to house Dewey and his caregivers. As for Hikonojo Uemura, because he is also a major general (of course. This is a rear admiral of the Japanese Navy). And he is still a yellow race, considering that the commander of his fleet is Yang Yonglin, so in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, he and Dewey were arranged in the same room. That's it. Dewey, who has always looked down on Hikoyuki Uemura, stayed in the same room with Hikonoki Uemura!

"I really didn't expect that I would meet Your Excellency in this situation." Hikoyuki Uemura said with a wry smile. Dewey didn't answer, just stared at the guy who was a little gloating.

"I have good news and bad news. Do you want to hear that? Uemura didn't pay attention to Dewey's murderous eyes and continued: "The good news is that Mr. Magiffin didn't show up here, which means that the U.S. Navy's Second Fleet still has a ship running back. The bad news is that the commander of this fleet should be Yang Yonglin! A very shrewd admiral, I just heard from their conversation. ”。 …。

"Are you a yellow-skinned monkey looking for death?" At this time, Dewey, who was full of grief and indignation, could no longer hold back. Regardless of the wounds on his body, he jumped up directly and wanted to go to Murahiko to beat him. But what he didn't expect was that the opponent's reaction speed was even faster than him, and after dodging Dewey's attack, Uemura Hikonojo hit Dewey's stomach hard with a sharp elbow blow, and the latter fell down in pain holding his stomach. This scene overwhelmed the American sailors next to them.

"At this time, I still have an inexplicable sense of superiority, I don't know what you think?" There was a hint of contempt in Uemura's eyes, since he came to the United States, Uemura Hikonojo and Inoue Yoshino, who wanted to do a big job, almost ran into walls everywhere. As the generals of the defeated army, they could hardly raise their heads in the face of the contemptuous eyes and ridicule of the US Navy, and their own opinions were not accepted, but Ma Jifen, who was once their enemy, was more accepting of their opinions, but because of the relationship between the former enemies and the shame of the Japanese Navy's behavior. Majifen was just using them as tools. And now, when he and Dewey were both prisoners, he was even more unhappy with Dewey's high-minded feeling. …。

"You're also captured! And you're being captured for the second time. Dewey slowly stood up and sneered..........

"I'm just a passerby, it's not my country, let alone that. My capture was caused by the actions of a guy who thinks he is smart, and the problem is not mine, but you! Because of your mistakes, the American fleet lost its advantage! You are responsible! Uemura Hikonoki said coldly.

And just as Dewey was trying to say something, the door suddenly opened, and then a Spanish officer walked in and said, "Which is Admiral Dewey, Mr. Yang Yonglin, the commander of the fleet, wants to have a cup of tea with Admiral Dewey." Dewey was then stunned, but after thinking about it, he really didn't have the ability to refuse, and he was very curious about this admiral from the East, so after a little hesitation, Dewey decided to meet this Admiral Yang.

"I very much want to understand why the Qing State wants to interfere in the affairs of the Caribbean. After all, the Caribbean and the Far East are too far apart. Dewey looked at the general, who was from the East...... After hesitating for a moment, he still expressed the doubts in his heart.

"The Far East is also far away from the United States, so why does the United States still need to form a Far Eastern Fleet?" Yang Yonglin smiled and said after taking a sip of tea. "As for the interference you are talking about? I don't know what I mean, I just know that the Beiyang Naval Division and the Spanish Navy are just normal naval exchanges, and if this is considered interference, then whether General Luang Weili serving as the deputy admiral of my Beiyang Fleet is considered interference? Does the sale of warships by Italy to the Spanish Navy count as interference? Did both the British and the Germans serve in the Spanish Navy count as interference? ”。 …。

"Actually, you and I both understand that the British, the Germans, and you Beiyang are all on the opposite side of the United States of America in this war, and the Italians are purely for making money, which is something that anyone can understand. We don't need to dwell on these text issues, I just want to ask Your Excellency, what is the purpose of your Beiyang doing this? Dewey shook his head and said.

"Didn't General Dewey know what the United States of America had done in the Sino-Japanese naval battle? Didn't General Dewey know about the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States? On the one hand, the U.S. government gave unfair treatment to the Qing nationals, and on the other hand, it helped the enemies of Beiyang. So you tell me, what should we do with such a country? Yang Yonglin's seemingly calm tone already contained anger faintly! Although it is true that in this era, a big fist is the truth, and any country is for the maximization of its own interests, there is absolutely nothing wrong with standing on the commanding heights of morality!

"Can I understand this as an act of revenge in some sense?" Dewey smiled wryly. "But that's what the U.S. government did before. And we just want to have access to the markets of the Far East, and in that war Japan had the upper hand, so we naturally need to be in the company of the strong. ”。 …。

"Very well, in that case, then you should be ready. Be prepared to accept the retaliation of the other party after losing the bet at any time, then you don't complain about our Beiyang behavior. It's all deserved. Yang Yonglin said with a smile.

"The United States of America is not like Japan, we have a strong industry, we have plenty of money, and we have a hard-working people! Even if our navy is completely wiped out, in less than 10 years, we will be able to build a more powerful fleet, and by then we will still have Cuba, and we can even make Beiyang pay for what it has done today! Dewey had an arrogant look in his eyes.

"When the time comes, let's talk about it. You can't be the president of the United States, you can't influence the U.S. Congress, and you're forgetful, what did you just say? You can push U.S. support for Japan to the previous U.S. administration, then the same. The U.S. government of the future can still blame the U.S. government of today, and you and Simpson, and that Theodore Roosevelt will be the goats. "Yang Yonglin was not afraid of Dewey's threat." Moreover, Britain, Germany, Italy, and Beiyang are all involved, and the United States of America is really powerful. Are you going to take revenge on so many countries at the same time? ”…………。

"Judging from the current level of the US Navy, it has been beaten all over the ground by the navy of a third-rate European country at its own doorstep, if you dare to lead the fleet to fight in the Far East in 10 years, I, Yang Yonglin, guarantee that you will lose even more badly than today! Do you want to try it? For this arrogant American, Yang Yonglin is not polite at all!

"Ugh." Dewey's Adam's apple obviously moved, and he didn't say a word, a strong industrial scale and sufficient finances are indeed the capital that the United States is proud of, but this does not mean that the United States can act recklessly with this! A series of moves by the United States in recent years have aroused the dissatisfaction of too many countries...... Whether it was the earliest intervention in the Qing-Japanese War, or the recent call for European countries not to interfere in the affairs of the Americas, or the current Spanish-American War, the United States has already shown its edge. And this blatant change of the regional pattern has made other major powers express extreme dissatisfaction! The United States is very strong, but others are not good at stubble! What's more, the military power of the United States is not as strong as it thinks!

"General Dewey, I must remind you that no country can challenge the bottom line of other powers without limit, not even the Scoop the Great who swept across Europe, although Beiyang cannot be compared with such a behemoth as the United States of America. But the United States cannot threaten the North Ocean across the entire Pacific Ocean! It's not good to pursue things that are too far away, and if you stretch your hand too long, you will not only not reap the benefits, but will also lose them! Yang Yonglin said calmly..........

"What the future holds is not something we can decide for ourselves. But you still haven't won, the U.S. Navy still surpasses the Spanish Navy, and after this battle, you are not without losses, so it is difficult to say how many winners and losers! Dewey calmed down and said.

"It is true, the resolution of this war is not yet clear. However, the Spanish fleet had gradually transformed from an inferior to an advantage. Although the U.S. Navy still has many warships, there are not many suitable for a decisive battle. Yang Yonglin said with confidence. From this conversation, Yang Yonglin has felt the pride and arrogance in the hearts of Americans, of course, this pride is mainly for blacks and yellows, but Yang Yonglin is confident that after this war, he will leave a name called Yang Yonglin in the memory of the US Navy!! Let Americans never underestimate that nation on the west coast of the ocean!
