Chapter 468 Isn't it really what we bombed?
When Huang Xiaolei informed the Green Paint Area Command Center via wireless notification of the news that the Jews of the Second-class Battleship "Maine" of the Eagle Sauce House was bombed in Havana Port, Zhao Yi shivered and couldn't hold the teacup in his hand and smashed it to the ground. Although several other members of the Interim Executive Committee did not have such a loss of composure as Zhao Yi, they could see from their pale face that everyone was worried about the bombing of the "Maine" incident.
"Old Zhao, are you also worried that the 'Maine' was blown up by those sloppy young men who had just been teleported by the 'director team'?" Lu Xiangyang said as he handed a towel to Zhao Yi, who was covered in tea.
"Yes, the rules of the teleporting personnel of the 'director team' have become unpredictable. I am really afraid that these guys who don't bother to watch the fun will directly throw people into the Caribbean. Didn't you say last time? It's far away from the sea of the Spanish-American War! Maybe this 'Maine' was not fried by Hawksaurus by himself!" Zhao Yi took the towel and said while wiping his hands.
"You don't have to worry too much, it may not be the young man who was just cast. Didn't Lao Lu say that last time? Due to the butterfly effect caused by our time travel, many historical events will not be born accurately at the original time node?" Hao Dajian said.
Lu Xiangyang's entire statement is true. The time travelers came to this interface, which caused a lot of changes in the birth time of the original space-time historical events, such as "booking on the bus" and "small station training" and other events were born early, and some historical events were directly erased, such as the massacre incident where they were originally born in Lushun.
"But the historical events that were born before that were changed due to the butterfly effect will not deviate too far from the original time node! The "Maine" explosion that led to the Spanish-American War was born in February 1898! This is too far apart. I think it cannot be ruled out that the possibility of the ship being blown up by the rough embryo that had just been teleported." said Feng Yunyi, former micro-film director.
"No matter whether the 'Maine' was blown up by our own people, hurry up and deal with the destruction between the South China Sea and Shandong. The Caribbean Sea is too far away, so we can't reach it for the time being, so we can only be anxious. Order the 'Sacramento' class comprehensive supply ship e4 and the 38th special mixed fleet to merge and return to Dongwanlu. Shandong also cleaned up the people and retreated to Yantai as soon as possible. All the people who should be killed were cut off for me! It was a waste of resources to drag the front so long!" Zhao Yi said.
According to the information sent by Jews, the "Maine" was bombed in the Caribbean Sea, the second-class battleship of the Havana Navy, with a displacement of about 6,700 tons. It laid a keel at the Brooklyn Navy shipyard in New York on January 17, 1888, and was officially launched on November 18, 1890. It was not until September 17, 1895 that it officially started to serve in the Havana Navy. In other words, it was not yet a year since it was officially in service, but it was directly paralyzed in the Havana Harbor in the Caribbean Sea because it was bombed.
The second-class battleship of the Hawksauer Navy "Maine" appeared in the Havana Port in Cuba because it was to carry out protection operations in Cuba. There are a large number of American sugarcane plantations in the Cuban Sea. Military conflicts between Cubans and Spanish colonial authorities have threatened the security of these plantations that have brought great profits to American capitalists.
As one of Spain's earliest colonies, Cuba has always been the main export market for the suzerain countries. With Spain's increasing decline, by the end of the 19th century, its overseas colonies were only Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines. Due to the sharp decline in the number of people available for exploitation, Spain could only brutally squeeze the only three remaining colonies.
Among them, Cuba, whose Americans invested heavily in sugar production and mining, was the one with the most oil and water among the three colonies. In order to get more oil and water from this rich colony, the Spanish issued the Wilson Gorman Tariff Act in 1894. When this tariff law was introduced, the Cuban sugar market was in a recession. The Spaniards not only failed to find a way to save the market, but also deleted sugar from the tax-free catalog. The heavy taxation directly led to the collapse of the price of raw sugar, and a large number of Cubans who were engaged in sugar production related work were unemployed as a result. As a result, a large number of riots and riots against the Spanish colonial authorities were spread all over Cuba for a while. Because American capitalists had a large amount of investment in Cuba, the American public also emotionally supported the riots and riots of Cubans under the tendency of the Hawk Sauce media.
By the end of the 19th century, Eagle Sauce also entered the imperialist period. Its domestic monopoly capital consortium urgently needed to open up new markets, investment places and raw material production places, so various propaganda machines under the control of these consortiums created public opinion for external expansion. Unfortunately, when Eagle Sauce was preparing to expand overseas, the whole world had been divided up with the old colonial powers.
Yingshang was determined to re-dividate the world's colonies, but at this time, his teeth were not strong and his claws were not sharp. He was still unable to compete with the old miscellaneous men such as Britain and France. Fortunately, there were still three colonies left in the old empire in Spain, especially one of them, Cuba, was still in his back garden, so Spain had long been remembered by Yingshang.
At this time, President Cleranf, who was in power in the Hawks' family, initially had a tone of Cuba's foreign policy on avoiding being involved in things other than adjustment. On April 6, 1896, the two houses passed a joint resolution to approve the formal recognition of Cuban rebels and urged the president to help them gain independence, but Cleranf only agreed to cooperate with Spain to establish peace on the basis of allowing Cuban autonomy. Of course, Cleveland's proposal was still "politely" rejected by the Spanish.
In the history of the original time and space, it was not until a year later that President William McKinley, who was jointly pushed to power by old Morgan and Carnegie, began to take office, and it was after Theodore Roosevelt, an ambitious guy, took office as deputy secretary of the U.S. Navy that the Hawksauer Navy began to interfere in the situation in Cuba after the ambitious guy Theodore Roosevelt took office as deputy secretary of the U.S. Navy.
However, in this time and space, the travelers climbed 6 strongly in the Liaodong Peninsula in the Far East at the end of 1894, and seized a colony under the eyes of the polar bear and John Bull's agent, the chicken. Well, although the Song people kept shouting that they were dealing with the internal affairs of the Chinese and not the colony, in the eyes of all Westerners, this was the naked tiger's mouth to seize food.
This is not over. Then, the Song people directly expelled the Dutch in the South Pacific region in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, and opened up a colony in West Borneo. Judging from the current situation in the South Pacific, it is only a matter of time before many Americans think that the entire Borneo falls into the hands of the Song people. Even judging from the momentum of the Song people's continuous dispatch of warships to the South Pacific waters, the Batavia currently occupied by the sea coachman probably cannot escape the fate of being on the unicorn flag.
The changes in Asia over the past two years have made many conservative groups jealous of the Hawkshop monopoly consortiums. Why can they steal territory and we can only watch it with gaze?
At this time, President Cleveland was under more pressure than in the same period of time and space. Faced with the public opinion that he constantly demanded security for the Eagle Sauce Expatriates working in Cuba, he had to send a fleet of overseas Chinese protection to the Port of Havana at the end of his rule, and the second-class battleship "Maine" was among them.
