"Yes, I insist, I insist that you board the ship for investigation!"

"Why? Just the words of an unknown witness?"

"I have tested this as a surviving naval sailor, so Mr. Paul is not an unknown person, his testimony is credible!"

"Then, why not let Benson come onto the shore?"

"On the shore, Paul couldn't ask the merchant who could testify that you had sunk five American ships, and you could easily escape!"

"Haha, what a fair special investigation team! I was found guilty without even checking it. Did I find that I was related to the disappearance of those five warships?"

"It's not a question of whether to determine or not, because you board the ship, receive investigation, and Benson retreat is the fastest way to solve this crisis!"

"Then, how can I ensure my safety? After getting on Benson's ship, I will be at his mercy and I will have no ability to resist!"

"I will get on the boat with you. Here, I, Miller, assures all reporters that no matter what evil crimes the Earl of North Sea committed, after the investigation, I will bring him back without losing any hair. Finally, by the Federation

The court ruled him!"

"What if I refuse? Don't forget, I have the support of a whole army of Viscount Savi in ​​Spain!"

"You can procrastinate, but that has no positive impact on solving the problem! Because, I have mobilized the Defense Army stationed in California, and in the next five days, as long as I have a telegram out, at least a hundred thousand US Army will drive into San Francisco if I go out with it.

, Earl, you can try to fight against each other!”

"Is that true, you will regret it!"

Speaking of this, both sides have already shown their trump cards. They are facing each other, and they almost slash each other with machetes!

The reporter next to him felt golden light coming out of his eyes and saliva flowed: It was so explosive, would the US Army want to fight a war with Spanish mercenaries in San Francisco?

The reporter is a type of person who wants chaos in the world, but Stevenson, the mayor of San Francisco, never wants the two sides to fight each other. Therefore, he hurried out to reconcile: "Don't be so angry. Lord Earl, you can

Consider Major General Miller's opinion. When you get on the ship, if you are not at ease, Stanford Councilor and I can accompany you and call the reporter... Major General Miller, don't force the count so much, after all, fire the artillery

But Benson, who bombarded the harbor, would rather let Captain Kreim give back what happened here. Ask Colonel Benson's opinion, maybe he will agree to come to the shore? If so, everyone will be happy, so as not to be

Everyone was having such an unpleasant quarrel…”

It's true that Stevenson's reconciliation played a certain role. Both sides' anger dropped. Miller no longer invited the army. Long Hao also shut up and no longer raised the expeditionary force.

Support your own business.

At this time, the deputy Granger set up a 'ladder' for both parties to have steps to get down. He poked Krim, and Krim agreed with a bitter face and would go back to ask Benson for advice and see the colonel.

What are your opinions on landing in person?

At this point, the press conference in this private villa ended, the reporters dispersed, and Miller and Long Hao also returned to their respective rooms to rest.

It was in public, and although the two sides were arguing loudly, they almost fucked each other's mother, they still couldn't really get to know each other in this villa.

On one side, I dare not, and on the other side, I don’t want to.

Well, after the song ends, let’s take a look at Major General Miller’s side.

Krim didn't need to say anything, and went back in shame to ask Benson for his meaning without mentioning a constructive suggestion. After the screening of his uneasy colleague, Granger frowned slightly and picked up his pen.

I wrote a note and asked Miller.

"Major General, how can we have the power to mobilize the Federal Army? Let's take a step back, where can we get a hundred thousand troops near California for us to dispatch?"

It turned out that mobilizing the Army into San Francisco was all about Major General Miller's bluff.

Miller glanced at Granger disdainfully and thought to himself: The deputy is the deputy. How can he do so honest and don’t know how to adapt? What is the essence of mediation? That is to deceive left and right, hide it from the top

Leave it, if you don't threaten, will the Earl of Beihai surrender? You didn't see that when the mayor mediated, didn't he dare to mention anything about the Spanish Expeditionary Force? Humph, he's just afraid

It's already!

Major General Miller picked up his pen and wrote a reply on the note: "Search to the military headquarters to explain the situation here, just say that I need a group of army support, whether it is really transferred here or pretending to do other actions...

In short, I have to send a signal to the outside world that it fully supports our special investigation team!”

Can the military agree?

With such a question, Granger still took out the telegraph... In any case, their special investigation team's status is still beyond the reach. Telegraph communication tool is not restricted and can still be used.

However, what was faster than Granger was the group of efficient journalists who quickly sent the manuscripts they had already sorted back to the eastern United States. At this time, the reactions of European countries were also transmitted back to the United States one by one.

On the afternoon of May 29, 1892, the White House of the United States received a call from the Queen of England.

Queen Victoria was shocked by the bombardment crisis in San Francisco. She strongly stated that as a member of the British royal family, the Earl of North Sea must first be guaranteed for her personal safety, otherwise, she will not rule out.

The British Atlantic Fleet is visiting New York!

Finally, Queen Victoria denied that the six battleships in the bombardment crisis may be ships affiliated with the Far East Fleet. Her answer was that the Royal Navy had conducted a strict investigation into the matter, and the results were still needed.

Time, just one or two photos cannot accurately identify the identity of a warship!

In identifying the identity of warships, Britain has the richest and most scientific experience in the world. How to judge without the United States’ need to ask about it!

This call undoubtedly showed the Queen of England's attitude towards Long Hao protecting her baby. On the sensitive issue of the "identity" of the six battleships, the Queen of England played Tai Chi pusher, which led by President Harrison

White House officials felt helpless.

"Do you want to protect the Earl of North Sea? Fuukhim, he caused such a big deal for us. We still want us to protect him?"

President Harrison, who has been disliked by Long Hao since the founding of the Alaska State incident, roared unwillingly... I heard that in the evening, a large number of smashed ornaments were cleared out in the presidential office.

But if you vent and protect Long Hao's appearance, the White House still has to show Queen Victoria. Who can let Britain be the hegemon of the world? What about the boss on the earth?

Haha, Uncle Sam, don’t think that you can ignore John Bull after fighting two British and American wars. Do you still remember that who will release the fire in the White House back then?

Around the same time President Harrison went to his aides to discuss how to issue the order to "protect Long Hao", calls from several other European countries also arrived one after another.

France's call: There are also battleships in the United States? Haha, come here to buy it in the future, which is more affordable than the UK.

The German Emperor's call: Pay close attention to the progress of the situation. I hope that the Earl of North Sea's warship can break through, which will make a significant contribution to how the naval warfare textbooks can break through the harbor encirclement.

Italian call: Did we hurt our ship dealer? The US government, you have to compensate our ship dealer for mental damage!

Spain's call: Our country has a deep affection for the city of San Francisco. Here, our country is willing to negotiate with the United States. If you don't want San Francisco, you can sell it to us.

Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: Hurry up and drive away that fleet. My granddaughter is in San Francisco. If she loses half of her hair, I will raise my troops to kill the American continent!

etc.

The call from Europe made the White House in a panic and chaotic day.

On the morning of May 30, the streets of New York and Washington sold newspapers that Paul came forward to testify against Long Hao. Of course, Major General Miller was beaten away half of his mouth, and Long Hao established $5 million in anti-species.

Fund matters are also listed above.

The emergence of this newspaper not only made the people rush to buy it like crazy, but also made the big men in the White House feel like they were smoking opium: they were excited!

Ah? Has there a witness come forward to testify against the Earl of Beihai?

Or is a surviving sailor? Check it out, check it out, and try every means to prove the authenticity of this sailor’s identity!

Make a document if you are missing, and fill in the file if you are missing!

Tsk tsk, the Earl of North Sea is too bold to actually destroy five destroyers of our navy, and even killed more than 200 non-commissioned officers and sailors?

Wow, this is a murderous demon, you must be punished severely! You must bring him to justice!

Hey? He was so angry that he fainted with a slap in his hand. He knocked off Miller's teeth that were half of his mouth?

Ah hahaha, this is a tragic death!

He must be guilty. He beat the general of my ** division. This alone can convict him!

In this way, we also gave Queen Victoria an explanation!

Aristocrats break the law and commit the same crime as common people!

As for the "anti-species" declaration proposed by Long Hao, President Harrison smiled and ignored it: This is how much money the Earl of Beihai is burning, and wants Congress to abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act?

To Congress pass legislation against racial discrimination? And to write racial discrimination as a crime into the Federal Code? Dream about you, are you president or is Harrison the president? With me here, your declaration is just a bullshit, and it will definitely not be possible

Realistic!

Anyway, the two press conferences that took place at the San Francisco Pier on May 29 gave the White House a hope and a hope that the bombardment crisis can be successfully resolved!

"Use all resources for me, and be sure to nail the Earl of North Sea to the 'murderer's chopping board' that murdered five warships in our country!" President Harrison made the decision.

"Well……"

The chief of staff thought about it and asked, "Is this not right? Is it true? Is it annihilated five destroyers? The Earl of North Sea has the ability? The President, even if the British Royal Navy comes to do this, he can't do it without any leakage, even the survivors

There are only one, right?"

Harrison sneered: "Nonsense, I certainly know that the Earl of North Sea is very likely to be innocent, but so what? Go and invite the bosses of major newspapers to have coffee. I want them to shape the Earl of North Sea into a comparison.

The British Royal Navy is still a powerful figure, no, it is an executioner, a murderer, a public enemy of mankind... Humph, anyway, the origin of this crisis is the newspapers that dare to report anything, and now they should end it

It's time! The reputation of the federal government is bad. Are they very honored? Anyway, I think that to solve this crisis, the most economical solution is to promote the Earl of North Sea as a heinous murderer!”

The result of being stinky is that you step down. What impact will it have on those newspaper owners?

Of course, the chief of staff dared to mutter in his stomach, and then followed Harrison's order to do business.

No matter what, the chief of staff agreed with President Harrison's last words: to resolve this crisis as quickly as possible, and to push the Earl of North Sea as a scapegoat, is the best way to do so.

Just as the White House was trying hard to label Long Hao, Major General Miller's telegram was also sent to the Military Department.
