The journey starts from the Titanic

Nothing is more deadly than this. Now the Americans are boiling, like the earth silent in the rain, accumulating the power of anger, once it bursts out, it will cause great harm to the empire.

Stupid bureaucracy!John Heinrich von Stoff originally thought that the granite-headed soldiers in China were already pretty enough, but he didn't expect that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where he was originally placed a bigger oolong!

How can this be done?Germany must not provoke a powerful enemy anymore!

The army was blocked near Versailles by the French, and Paris was almost visible, but it hadn’t made a breakthrough for two years without entering a single inch of land. After the High Seas Fleet, which spent countless manpower and material resources of the empire, fought a battle in Jutland, Almost scrapped, I can only hide in the warm sea breeze and bask in the sun.

Only the submarine force performed better, but this was also hated by the Americans. In short, the German emperor's dominance was in jeopardy!

Johann Heinrich von Stoff sighed, how can he stabilize the Americans?

He thought for a long time, but he didn't have a clue. No one knew the virtues of the American arms dealers better than him. They had always encouraged the United States to participate in the war in Europe. Now they might succeed!

"Is there any news from Berlin?" Johann Heinrich von Stoff asked the secretary who was also standing beside him.

"No!" The young secretary shook his head, his expression also worried.

"That is to continue to maintain stability?" John Heinrich von Stoff sneered. "What can I use to stabilize the Americans? Did I bomb the White House with my explosive kit?

I really don’t know which pig head came up with this stupid way of instigating Mexicans to mess with Americans?Let’s not say that the Mexicans who have become a mess of porridge have a bit of combat power. Just because the United States sent troops to the Mexican port two years ago, none of the Spanish bastards had the courage to grunt, they had the courage to say a word to the United States. It's weird if you talk hard!

Pig-headed, bureaucratic, this is all right, and finally the excuse is sent to the United States!"

Johann Heinrich von Stoff continued to narrate, from the stupid emperor, the solemn official, the staid soldier to the light-hearted Ministry of Foreign Affairs, everyone in all departments inside and outside was greeted by him. Again.

Although the German context is not very rich, and there are only a few swear words back and forth, it is the first time that the secretary has seen such a gaffeful John Heinrich von Stoff.

In his impression, his boss, Johann Heinrich von Stoff, had always been polite and not humiliated, but now the "Zimmermann Telegraph Leakage" has lost its former style.

His boss's performance just now was very rebellious, but as a subordinate, he could only painfully filter out the "bad information" automatically. Although he felt the same, he couldn't show it.

"Dididi!" After a while, a telegram from Berlin was delivered. After John Heinrich von Stoff cracked it, the content was not beyond his expectation-the war was about to start, and if things were not as expected, Prepare to evacuate immediately.

...

Don’t be an outsider in a rushing night.

In the early morning, Situ Nan woke up from sweetness, the rain had stopped all night, but it was a sunny day outside.

"Woo..." The sunlight coming in from the window made Kuzdova feel dazzling. Seeing Situ Nan was about to get up, she quickly got up.

Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently.After a whole night of irrigation, the woman looked more radiant and charming, with the flush of last night still remaining between her eyebrows.

Situ Nan swallowed, and said in harmony, "I have something to do today, I can't accompany you!"

He can be regarded as a well-informed person in New York. How did he not know the "Zimmermann Telegraph Leakage" that made a lot of noise yesterday?Just keep quiet.

Zimmerman's telegram leaking incident arrived as scheduled, as if rehearsing a script countless times, as early as Situ Nan's calculations.

"Fight! From today, I will also do something serious. I hope that fellow will not let myself down!" Situ Nan said, turning and walking into the car...

Chapter 141 The Thunder and Women Talking Business (Part 1)

"Stone, we meet again." Franklin Roosevelt saw Situ Nan from a distance and greeted him.

"This is my wife, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt." Franklin Roosevelt introduced his wife to Stuart.

Situ Nan looked at the woman standing next to Franklin Roosevelt. She was in her 30s. She had short spiritual hair and the charm of a mature woman.The appearance is not too beautiful, but the gentle smile and bright eyes make people feel generous and sincere.

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt stood side by side with Franklin Roosevelt, a little half a step behind her husband, indicating that this woman is very good at defending her husband's status.

The husband's self-confidence, affinity, and leadership ability, the wife is generous and decent, and considerate. The couple stood together, and they had the charm of a husband and a wife. It was a perfect match.

Situ Nan exclaimed in his heart.Before he could speak, Anna Roosevelt took the initiative to hug Situ Nan.

"Hi! Stonney. I heard Franklin mention you. You are so young, um, and handsome!" Anna Roosevelt laughed.

"It's an honor to meet your wife. You are fascinating with your generosity, and many people in New York envy Franklin Roosevelt's blessing!"

Situ Nan joked slightly.

"Thank you. Stonney." Anna smiled generously, then looked back at Franklin Roosevelt, a little smug, not even fake.

"Anna is indeed a wonderful wife. No one can match my blessing." Franklin Roosevelt said proudly. In addition to his political achievements in his life, he also married a good wife. He has always Proud.Anna was the niece of Franklin Roosevelt's cousin Theodore Roosevelt. She was well-educated, educated, warm and generous, upright and compassionate, so that women could not be found with a lantern. Many people had pursued Anna at the beginning. , But in the end it was Franklin Roosevelt who got the best price.

"Come in! Stone, I have a tight schedule today, so I have something to say as soon as possible."Franklin Roosevelt reminded, greeted Situ Nan enthusiastically.

"You talk first, I'll prepare coffee for you." Anna Roosevelt knew that they had something to discuss, so she took the initiative to leave.

"Mr. Roosevelt, what happened yesterday surprised me very much. I didn't expect the Germans to have such a vicious mind. It made me angry."

Knowing that the other party's time is tight, Situ Nan spoke up and took the initiative to bring up the Zimmermann incident that happened yesterday.

After the newspaper's hype, the reputation of the Germans in the United States suddenly became stinky. Even the farmers in the west knew that the Germans wanted to entangle the Mexicans to rob their land, so people felt more angry from the beginning. , There is an urge to vent.

When he first went out in the morning, Stuart received news: The White House spokesperson expressed strong protest against the Zimmerman incident. President Woodrow Wilson publicly warned the German government that if they do not give the United States a reasonable explanation, the White House will Take further action.This is almost a warning of war.

In response, the German side also responded, saying that the Zimmermann incident was fabricated by the British and the German government had no intentions against the United States.Obviously this is not admitting to death.

After being caught in a painful foot at once, the Germans obviously have no good way to do it. For the time being, they can only deny it in every possible way, hoping to delay it a little longer.

As a result, Germany and the United States fought a telegram battle across the Atlantic Ocean, spitting at each other, all kinds of public protests were flooded with American newspapers, and the sales of American newspapers increased significantly.Countries such as Britain and France are also desperately contributing to the flames. They have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

The only injured are the Mexicans, but they are not good birds either!Some farmers in the west were very angry when they heard the news. Across the Atlantic, they could not reach the European side, just like spreading their anger on Mexicans. Some activists who joined in the fun even offered to organize volunteers to expedition to Mexico again.

Well, this is a typical American mentality. They are used to domineering in America. Once others put their hands in their fields, they start to become angry.

Franklin Roosevelt was also taken aback when he received the news. He didn't expect Germany to be such a bile!

The navy has already started. As the undersecretary, he has been notified that he will rush back to Washington for a meeting in the afternoon to discuss strategies against the Germans.Before leaving, he still had time to meet Situ Nan.

"The overweight German!" Franklin Roosevelt snorted.Although he looks milder in front of him, he is actually a combative.

Situ Nan has a deep understanding of this.Since Franklin Roosevelt joined the Navy Department, the expansion of the U.S. Navy has significantly accelerated. Under his urging, a large number of warships have been continuously placed on the shipyard's berth, just waiting to be launched.

Fighting the Germans is a low-risk and high-return opportunity for the U.S. Navy. The high seas fleet has been abandoned. German submarines can threaten passing merchant ships, but they can’t deal with large fleets. So as long as the U.S. Navy cleans up the German submarines. Up.At the same time, expanding the U.S. Navy can also create a fait accompli and ensure the status of the United States after the war.

But dealing with German submarines is not an easy task. The Royal Navy has been overwhelmed by German submarines, let alone the Americans?

Because of this, the value of Situ Nan is reflected.

The last time Roosevelt visited the Bethlehem Shipyard, the two communicated that in addition to the escort system, the German submarine should also be proactively attacked and not passively beaten. It is best to use the German submarine route and outside their port. Dense mines blocked the submarine.

This has been secretly remembered by Situ Nan. In addition to visiting the Roosevelt family, he also came to talk about this business by the way.

"Mr. Roosevelt, do you remember the last time we talked about blocking submarines with mines? I am here today to represent Bethlehem and I hope to cooperate with the Navy in this regard." Situ Nan said.

"Oh? Let's listen!" Franklin Roosevelt flicked the soot between his fingers, and Situ Nan's words aroused his interest.
