Chapter 185: Fighting is patriotic

Sheffield remembered that, out of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, the United States secretly supported the British movement in South Africa. Of course, no one could imagine that the British Empire used nearly half a million troops and was beaten. This was not even thought of by the Federal Government of the United States after the Civil War and the experience of mobilizing a decisive battle.
Without the Boer War, the process of usurping the throne of the United States may not have been so smooth, and the internal hegemony of the English Department has not been so smooth. It can be seen that even the world hegemon, be wary of war. After the Boer War, Britain directly changed its empire policy, gave up its glorious isolation, and realized the importance of its allies. It was essentially weak.
Afterwards, the United States also experienced a war with internal wounds. The heavy losses of the Vietnam War made the United States have to think of the plight of the British in the Boer War, decisively adopt a contraction gesture, and have no power to face the global attack of the Soviet Union. In order to replenish the blood of Germany and Japan, Reagan made a full counterattack, and the final result is not yet known.
The Vietnam War gave the United States a wake-up call. Although they continued to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, they were reluctant to start in the face of the last Iran. If they could not solve it in a short time, they might reproduce the trend of the British Empire after the Boer War. Importantly, another country has reached the 60% warning line set by the United States.
In exchange for the Spanish War for the mutual understanding and support of the Boer War, this analysis analyzed Theodore Roosevelt's eyes, and then wondered, "This may not be able to explain to Germany and the Netherlands, will it cause dissatisfaction between the two countries."
If Theodore Roosevelt made a choice in his heart, it must be on the side of the United Kingdom, as Sheffield said, the blood is thicker than water, but the United States is not yet qualified to exert influence outside the Americas and achieve mutual understanding with the United Kingdom. Will it offend other European powers.
The reason why the Boers dared to stand up with the British Empire in today's police force is because of the people behind them. The government established by the Boers has been in conflict with the British Empire all the year round. The key reason is the rule of South Africa. Transvaal and Orange formed a permanent friendly alliance, which was supported by the Germans. It is also because of the Germans ’support that the Boer talents are confidently confronting the United Kingdom. Due to the discovery of the South African gold mine, this confrontation more and more intense,
Aroused the dissatisfaction of the Boers, in order to fight against the British, the Boers decided to find a way from the blood to be thicker than the water, using the monopoly of railways and explosives as bait, which brought their home countries, the Netherlands and Germany, in the Boers With the help, German forces quickly invaded South Africa.
"Germany is strong, but Britain is stronger. Since the Venezuelan crisis, the United States has reconciled. The past grievances have passed." Since the Venezuelan crisis, the United Kingdom has recognized the special interests of the United States in the Americas. The United Kingdom thinks of itself To rule the world, the United States ruled the Americas to assist itself.
Although there is a fine virtue like Chamberlain in the United Kingdom, it is clear that the public opinion of the English Department is much stronger than the public opinion of the German and German. Chamberlain has little room to play, although Sheffield himself thinks that Chamberlain's method is much smarter than Churchill.
Chamberlain made it, Germany is still the world's second largest between France and Russia, and still needs the help of Britain. Churchill died, and Britain was just one of the five elders.
Sheffield and Theodore Roosevelt discussed the relationship between the Spanish war and the Boers, and there was a kind of hate to meet each other. This conversation made Theodore Roosevelt understand that Sheffield claimed that what is international Capitalist. This is a capitalist with an international outlook.
Unlike William McLay and Mark Hanna, Theodore Roosevelt ’s desire for war was much stronger, and finally Sheffield shook his head slightly, "Mr. Roosevelt, to be honest, people like you in the Republican Party are not very common. Talking is more like facing a Democrat. It ’s not that I look down on the Republican Party and most of its supporters. They are like flowers in a greenhouse. They are simply ignorant and lovely. "
A precise map cannon blurted out, making Olney a little embarrassed. The loyal gold lord of the Democratic Party is so simple and frank. But this is true. Everyone knows that the Democratic Party is more belligerent than the Republican Party. The territory of the United States was defeated when the Democratic Party was in power. The Republican Party, like his predecessor Whig Party, knew that he opposed the war.
"Maybe there are more belligerent Democrats, but people's character does not depend on any party, Mr. William." Theodore Roosevelt said indifferently, but did not refute too much.
After enjoying each other, Sheffield mentioned another piece of Spanish colony, the Philippines in Asia.
"What do you think of William Freshman?" Theodore Roosevelt moved. He felt as if the Democratic Party's gold master had his own ideas on this issue.
"If we go to war with Spain, in fact, Cuba under the nose is a little bit better. It is the Philippines in Asia, the Philippines is far away, and we are temporarily not aware of the local area. This is the biggest problem. "Sheffield sighed. He paid too much for the United States." In fact, in addition to local indigenous people, for the benefit of the United States, there is a group we use. "
"Chinese?" Theodore Roosevelt was silent for a moment, giving his own answer, "I don't know if I am right?"
"It's true, it's Chinese, and there are Chinese communities in the Philippines, just like California." Sheffield's vision of Theodore Roosevelt was somewhat appreciated. The United States did not know much about the global situation in this era. Odo Roosevelt even had a little research on Asia, which is worth appreciating. "Actually, Cuba and the Philippines are currently resisting the Spanish rule. This is the Spanish problem that gives the United States the opportunity to start, but after we win Spain, this will Become our problem, how do we face these rebels? "
"It shouldn't be a problem if Cuba is close, but if the Philippines does not have a force that can assist us, this matter is very difficult to handle. The U.S. military that is out of the country is not familiar with the local terrain and may cause massive losses. To solve it We need the help of a group to solve this problem, so I think local Chinese can perform this duty. "Sheffield paused and said," Chinese are a group that pays attention to the collective, although they also use their biggest thoughts to deal with it. It ’s not a contradiction among our own people. There are thousands of different people in any group. If we can gather Chinese workers in California and send them to the Philippines, together with local Chinese to help our soldiers, this matter will be easier to handle.

"California ’s xenophobia will be greatly eased. To put it bluntly, although I use Chinese laborers, I also have worries about the increasing number of Chinese laborers. I personally do not approve of an exclusion order against a certain ethnic group. This is too obvious and will not be affected. To the recognition of the international community, although our citizens will definitely recognize it. "
"If we can disperse a part of the Chinese workers to the Philippines through this war, I believe that the citizens of California will be very satisfied, and the number of Chinese workers will be reduced. And the Chinese workers who follow the US military can do logistics and help us a lot."
"California's problem is so serious?" Theodore Roosevelt was taken aback, thinking about Sheffield's thoughts carefully.
"It's really serious. If the economy is bad, the problem will be amplified. So we have to solve it earlier. If we occupy the Philippines and solve the two problems together, I believe it will be fine." Sheffield is very solemn. Said, "That's why I came to see Mr. Roosevelt."
This is already the best way Sheffield can think of. If Chinese workers stay in the United States, they are destined to be a tragic group. Without the Chinese Exclusion Act, they will also be subject to other restrictions. And assimilation of a group of bananas is easy, because the United States has reached the strongest position in the world.
The Philippines is different. With the indigenous culture of the Philippines, trying to assimilate Chinese is still a bit of a struggle. The chance of becoming a banana person will be smaller.
"If there is a real battle? Mr. William hopes that the power of the United States will send these Chinese workers away? Even part of it?" Theodore Roosevelt groaned. "What name can it be?"
"I will send out recruitment notices in the name of the joint company, as long as they get on the boat, everything is good. Of course, some Chinese labor leaders know about this matter, and I have made it clear with them." Sheffield said everything is wrapped in himself "As for the expenses incurred as a result? As long as the Philippines is occupied, everything can be sold out. In this way, we have solved the domestic problems and also gained the help in the Philippines."
"Mr. William is really full of whimsy!" Theodore Roosevelt shook his head slightly, then said firmly, "If war is really inevitable, I am willing to help, let Chinese workers take charge of the logistics of the army."
"The United Company and my partners will definitely support the United States in assisting the colonies and fighting the war against European imperialism, and the logistics are on me." Sheffield also made his own pledge, and then said, "Mr. Roosevelt, if It would be nice if you were the president. "
After making such a sentence without a head and a tail, the two ended today's meeting and were prepared to have a chance to meet again. Sheffield is going to telegraph now, who made him so patriotic.
"William, it looks like you have a good impression of Roosevelt, a Republican." After the two came out of Roosevelt, Olney asked slowly, "Is that right?"
"At this time, fighting is patriotic, and this person is indeed very powerful." Sheffield paused and looked at Olney. "However, the joint company's support for the Democratic Party will never change."
