Although Roosevelt was very dissatisfied with the prince's opinions, he still reported the prince's opinions to the country as a special envoy. At this time, President McKinley was also dizzy by the situation in American Samoa. The current situation is that the Americans do not want to lose this springboard for progress, but if the Japanese attack, the Americans will definitely not be able to defend it! Moreover, within a few years, the American fleet could not regain the place. After all, the Panama Canal was not built, and it was too difficult to mobilize the US cross-strait fleet, and it was too low to cross thousands of miles to fight at the doorstep of another naval power.

Americans’ diplomacy and strategy are actually a bit chaotic now. If the previous Monroeism could be said that Americans defined their strength under the influence of their own national strength, when they decided to go out of America and go to the world, the previous policies would not be so applicable.

The so-called isolation policy, not mixing with the struggle between other powers, will be a choice to avoid conflict to some extent. Without conflict, it is impossible to open a gap in the old system and get a piece of the pie. So the Americans chose Spain, a country that has been excluded by the powers, was weak, weak, and the colony was far from the local area. It was a suitable opponent.

The Americans have bet right in history! In 100 days, the Americans easily knocked Spain to the ground with their young army and gained huge profits. The West Indies and the Philippines were included in the American sphere of influence, and with the power of the war, they annexed Hawaii and directly completed the preparations to enter the Far East from the Americas. The Americans were so lucky!

Subsequently, after the first battle, the Americans became more courageous. Even after Japan won a great victory in the Russo-Japanese War, they were still frightened in the face of the "Black White Fleet" that the Americans came from afar. The repeated victories prompted the Americans to become more and more ambitious. With the support of strong national strength, the Americans expanded faster and faster! They became more and more confident! But everything is different in this plane!

The American is like a RMB player who has just left the novice village. Although it seems very strong, it has average practical ability. Historically, he has good luck. In this plane, Japan, who is in trouble, has been exposed in its true form. Although the United States still beat Spain, the weak chicken and obtained the West Indies, it failed in the Far East. It caused tons of damage to the American ambition!

"American Samoa can temporarily allow Germans to trust, but there needs to be a clear time limit. For example, 5 years. This requires a clear treaty, and it cannot be a secret treaty." When Day saw Roosevelt's telegram, he first agreed with the proposal.

"But this is a heavy blow to our national reputation!" President McKinley said.

"Then we can say it in another way. For example, if we jointly govern the Samoa region, literally, this joint governance not only includes American Samoa, but also German Samoa. In this way, our face problems can be solved, and as long as the Germans are involved, the Japanese will definitely be afraid of them. The more painful it can make Japan beaten, the more respect Japan will respect him!" Day thought for a while and said.

"But the Germans may not agree with this opinion. Moreover, even if there is some saying that takes care of each other's face, what about the Germans' asking price? They cannot help us solve this crisis in vain. The content of the transaction is likely to require a secret agreement. How can we ensure that we do not regret each other?" McKinley said.

"Mr. President, some of your thoughts are the same as many Americans. You prefer the UK. Even without any guarantee, you are willing to believe in the UK. I don't know if this is because of the same language and the same kind of language, or some inexplicable goodwill, or the praise of the strong."

"But for other countries that can cooperate, you are skeptical about everything. This factor mixed with personal feelings is not good for the country. The Germans and France are feuds. There were also rifts with the British on the Qing and Japanese war issue. They urgently needed allies, and we also needed allies. We are far apart, and there was no fundamental confrontation except for some trade frictions in South America. Why can't we form an extraordinary relationship with Germany?"

"I have to admit that in my interactions with the Bavarian prince, this prince convinced me. The old powers represented by Britain and France were unwilling to change the status quo because they were vested interests, while we, Germany and Italy, are newly emerging powers, and the world is so big. If I don't want to gain enough benefits, I will conflict with the old powers. Why should we give up allies at the unified level and choose to curry favor with those countries that do not value us?" Day said sincerely.

"Haha, that's right. The Secretary of State has reminded us, and Mr. O'Neal has reminded us of Japan's threat and the threat of the British-Japanese alliance to us. But now it seems that most of us, even I, do not even realize this threat. It's too late to regret it now, but."

The president originally wanted to say that Germany may not be a good thing, but considering that his good friend had just said a long time ago, he swallowed it back.

"We have too little time. If we hesitate, once Japan occupy American Samoa, there will be no chance! The Germans cannot fight against Japan. Then the prince's suggestion will be completely gone!" Day said anxiously. "This treaty can even be signed by me. If something goes wrong, I will take responsibility!

"We need to study this, well, but the results will come soon." The president's words dodged, full of concealment and hesitation, which made Day even more dissatisfied.

"Mr. President, an emergency telegram forwarded from Hawaii." A White House staff member walked in and sent an urgent telegram to the president.

"Well, this problem has been solved, so there is no need to talk about it!" McKinley's expression was very exaggerated at this time, first shocked, then extremely short anger and distortion, and finally gradually calmed down. However, from his trembling body and his dark face, Day could still feel McKinley's anger.

"What happened?" Day was also a little panicked.

"The Japanese have occupied Samoa! These yellow-skinned dwarfs have occupied the territory of the United States of America! These bastards!" Two tears appeared on McKinley's face!
