The cold winter is coming, and the land of the seven northern provinces has been covered with heavy snow, showing a white expanse. Due to the weather, all construction work had to be stopped. However, the newly established political affairs committee, as well as the staff headquarters supported by Wu Haoxuan, are still busy.

Next year, the Council will start a series of big moves, using the winter to prepare for it and wait until the spring to start carrying it out. In the same way, the army building planned by the General Staff Headquarters will not be in full swing until next spring.

This time, the seven northern provinces will undoubtedly spread out a big spread. And this means that a lot of money is needed. Although Wu Haoxuan has already contributed his family background. However, at the moment, this funding alone is not enough to ensure the steady progress of the programmes. Especially in industrial construction, a lot of money is needed.

In this regard, Wu Haoxuan had no choice but to hit the Americans on the other side of the ocean. The United States, the world's largest country in terms of industrial output, is rapidly replacing Britain as the richest country. In the year 1906 alone, the United States' fiscal revenues reached nearly $600 million, equivalent to 1.2 billion oceans.

"Since the Americans want us to drag down the Japanese for them, how can we do it without giving them a little benefit?" Wu Haoxuan muttered. Subsequently, he drafted a telegram and sent it to the United States, contacting his American friends in the hope that they would influence Theodore. The Roosevelt administration, which facilitated large sums of American aid.

In the United States, the government is vulnerable to big business and big conglomerates. The DuPont family and the Rockefeller family are both well-known big families in the United States, and they also have great influence in the US government. Especially Pierre. Dupont and David. Rockefeller's meeting with Wu Haoxuan in the Northeast set the tone for helping the development of the Northeast. This will also be of great help to the DuPont family and the Rockefeller family to enter the Chinese market in the future.

Therefore. At the end of November 1906, the leaders of the DuPont family and the Rockefeller family visited the White House together. President Roosevelt had a detailed talk.

Theodore. President Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, was born in 1858. At the age of 42, he became the president of the United States, making him one of the youngest presidents of the United States. At the same time, his series of policies have had a profound impact on the development of the United States, making him one of the most outstanding presidents in American history.

Theodore. Roosevelt served as Deputy Secretary of the Navy in the Spanish-American War, and was named the Hero of San Juan Hill in 1900 for his distinguished service at the Battle of San Diego, Cuba. In 1901 President William Brown. McKinley was assassinated by anarchists. He succeeded as president of the United States at the age of 42, making him the youngest sitting president in U.S. history. His unique personality and reformist policies made him one of the greatest presidents in American history.

Theodore. During his presidency, Roosevelt's main contribution to the country was to establish a resource protection policy, which protected forests, minerals, oil and other resources; Establish a fair trade bill to promote reconciliation between workers and capitalists. Externally, the Monroe Doctrine was pursued and an expansionist policy was pursued. Build a strong army and interfere in the affairs of the Americas.

Theodore. Roosevelt was credited with successfully mediating the Russo-Japanese War. He was the first American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906. Of course, the Americans supported the Japanese and the Russians in the war, which did not benefit China at all.

Also, Theodore. A policy of Roosevelt. It has also had a great impact on the Chinese people living in Zaimei. After his presidency, the Chinese Exclusion Act, which had been passed in 1882, expired for the second decade, and in 1902 the Chinese Exclusion Act was abolished and became permanent. Visible. This guy is also a person who discriminates against the Chinese.

White House, Theodore. President Roosevelt summoned cabinet officials, including Vice President Charles Roosevelt. W. Fairbanks, Secretary of State Elihue Rutter, Secretary of the Treasury L. M. Shaw, Secretary of War William Howard Taft, Secretary of Justice Charles Joseph Bonaparte, Secretary of Posts George B. Kotliu, Secretary of the Navy Victor H. Metcalfe, Secretary of the Interior Ethan A. Hitchcock, Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, Secretary of Commerce Oscar Strauss.

"Gentlemen, I have brought you here today mainly for the affairs of the Far East." Theodore. President Roosevelt did not go around in circles and went straight to the point with the main idea of this meeting.

"Your Excellency President, is there something wrong with those Japanese monkeys? Two of their 'Katori-class' battleships have just been commissioned, and construction of two 'Satsuma-class' battleships has already begun. Could it be that they have new battleships again? "The Secretary of the Navy Victor. H. Metcalfe was the first to speak. After Japan won the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Navy accelerated the construction of battleships, which undoubtedly posed a huge threat to the United States on the other side of the ocean. Of course, the U.S. Navy is now frantically building battleships, which can be built much faster than the Japanese Navy. However, the United States, which is bordered by both the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, cannot concentrate its navy in one direction and must deploy it in the two oceans separately, which makes it necessary for the US Navy to maintain its superiority over the Japanese Navy as much as possible.

"Those Japanese monkeys have just suffered a big defeat in Northeast China, losing more than 100,000 people. Having suffered such heavy losses, I'm afraid they won't have the audacity to provoke the American Republic anymore, right? "Secretary of War William. Howard. Taft said.

"Yes, it was precisely because of the crushing defeat of the Japanese in Northeast China that the construction of their two 'Satsuma-class' battleships slowed down. Because there is not enough steel! "Victor. H. Metcalfe laughed, and this is undoubtedly great news for the US Navy.

"Gentlemen, this time the main topic to be discussed is the situation in the Far East. Although the Japanese lost the battle. However, this is not only because of the Jilin Army, but also because of our help. In terms of real strength, the strength of the Japanese was much stronger than that of the Jilin Army. However, after the defeat of the Japanese this time, their eyes were once again drawn to the direction of the mainland. This means that they will invest more in the army, and the Japanese will have to invest less in the sea. This is undoubtedly excellent news for the United States. However, what we need to worry about is that the next time the Japanese will definitely do their best to use troops in Northeast China. When the time comes, will the Jilin Army still be able to defeat the Japanese? If they lose, the Japanese will be able to use the wealth they have gained in China to accelerate the country's development. The Japanese Navy will inevitably be able to develop by leaps and bounds. At that time, we may have to face the threat of the Japanese. "Theodore. President Roosevelt said solemnly.

The members of the US Cabinet present nodded their heads one after another. Although they won the Spanish-American War only eight years ago. However, Americans have always cherished their lives. In particular, the strength of the US Army is too weak, and if it were to fight against a land power like Japan, the United States would probably have to be prepared to suffer hundreds of thousands of casualties. This is unacceptable for the Americans. If you don't do it, it will directly bring down the government.

"I think we can give some help to the Jilin Army to make them stronger, so that the Japanese will not be able to defeat them. As long as the Japanese cannot defeat the Jilin Army, then their attention will be firmly pinned down in the direction of the mainland, and we can rest easy. Secretary Elisius. Rout said.

"That's right, let those Chinese monkeys fight the Japanese monkeys, they are all yellow-skinned monkeys anyway, and it is none of our business to die more. At most, we'll pay a little dollar or some other resource. "Vice President Charles. W. Fairbanks said.

This proposal was echoed by the Cabinet officials. In the eyes of the Americans, if money can solve the problem, it is undoubtedly the best way. Let the Chinese and Japanese fight to the death, and they can hide behind and pick up the bargain.

"However, the foundation of the Jilin Army is too weak, and the industry is almost in a blank. Japan has already completed its industrialization, and if we want to support the Jilin Army, I am afraid that it will be very difficult and the investment will be very great. Secretary Elisius. Rout frowned.

"It's better than us going straight to the Japanese. Americans' lives are precious, and it's best to let those yellow-skinned monkeys kill each other. "Secretary of War William. Howard. Taft also said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, then, it seems that everyone supports the support of the Jilin Army and allows them to fight against the Japanese. Well, we need to send an envoy to the Far East secretly. We need to get assurances from the leaders of the Jilin Army that they must drag the Japanese to the death in the direction of the mainland. Only then will we support them. "Theodore. President Roosevelt said.

"Your Excellency the President, Assistant Secretary of State Robert Brown. Bacon was a good candidate to give him a trip to the Far East. Secretary Elisius. Rout suggested.

"Yes, Robert. His Excellency Bacon is a very good diplomat, and he will be able to handle this matter well. "Vice President Charles. W. Fairbanks said.

"Alright then, I'll meet him." Theodore. President Roosevelt nodded. (To be continued......)
