    Lu Zhengxiang did not expect Wilson to be so direct. Fortunately, Yang Qiu was prepared. He put down the cup with a smile and raised his hand slightly to strengthen his tone: "Your Excellency, the President is very right. The biggest source of instability in Asia currently comes from our mutual relationship with Japan."  Hostility. But this is not caused by us! Japan has always coveted our territory and still enforces their occupation and colonial policies even after our people have stood up and exercised their right to self-determination. I want to thank you for your support to us, otherwise  It is impossible for us to win the last war. But victory is not the end. Some people started to implement their colonial plans after a few years of self-cultivation." After he finished speaking, he took out a piece of information from his pocket and handed it to  wilson.

    Wilson was very curious. After opening it, he found several incomplete Japanese drawings. The shape seemed to be a kind of cannon.  He couldn't understand Japanese, so he handed it to Secretary of State Lansing next to him. The latter had worked in Japan for a period of time, so his expression changed slightly after reading the picture and he whispered a few words.

    The words were very soft, but Yang Qiu could still vaguely hear words such as "new battleship" and "16 inches", and he picked up the teacup with a smile.  These documents are not forgeries, but the original design drawings of the Nagato-class 410 naval gun obtained by the Intelligence Department.  Due to the defeat of China and Japan, the size of the Japanese army was greatly reduced, the navy had two fewer Ise-class battleships than in history, and the second fleet was also severely damaged. However, this loss helped Japan save a lot of money in disguise, so it started developing more powerful ships early.  Big naval gun.  Last year, the finances of peripheral countries suffered a big blow.  The occupation of Okhotsk solved the problems of coking coal and iron ore.  Sakhalin oil exploration was also put on the agenda, so not only was the Nagato class built, but the Eighty-Eight Fleet plan was again taken out.  It is said that the design of the Amagi-class battlecruisers has been completed.

    Wilson frowned slightly. It was no secret that Japan started building the Nagato class early last year. They also proactively announced that they would install a 14-inch naval gun.  But if this information is true now.  That means America and the world have been fooled!

    Yang Qiu did not want to explain the authenticity of the information. The United States must have a way to find out what caliber naval gun the Nagato class is equipped with. Instead, he put on a very worried look: "Japan is actively promoting a new strategy of going to the sea! They have already  We are very, very worried about the plan to allocate two to three German battleships to the United Kingdom, and also compete with Australia for control of Guinea Island!"

    He used two extraordinary words to strengthen his tone and continued: "Many members of our country's congressmen and staff have suggested buying more warships to deal with the threat of the Japanese navy. I am very painful about this. We need a stable external environment, and we need to include the United States in  All countries in the country will help us develop. For a semi-colonial country like our country that still has a large number of concessions, the first thing to solve is the food and clothing of its 450 million citizens. Therefore, in the foreseeable long term, it is impossible for our country to  To develop a large naval force, but at the same time face the pressure of ensuring maritime security. We are making a choice!"

    His tone was serious.  Wilson can hear the meaning inside.  For the United States, no matter what the purpose, it does not want to see a large number of advanced warships in the Pacific.  In addition, last time Japan sent troops to Sakhalin and the Sea of ??Okhotsk without authorization.  The United States was already extremely unhappy, so Wilson also had a slightly sulky look on his face.  Although he did not express his position directly, looking at him placing the information next to his tea cup, you can tell that this thing touched a heartstring in the United States.

    That¡¯s it!

    Seeing this, Yang Qiu did not continue to "complain" and said too much, which would trigger associations. He moistened his throat and suggested: "We do not want to continue the military confrontation. We only hope to provide food and clothing for the people so that they can live a happy life. So I implore the President.  The U.S. government supports our proposal to completely abolish all unequal treaties since the Qing Dynasty! China should and must become a normal country! Of course, we also take into account the feelings of all countries, so we are willing to extend the settlement time appropriately, but we must first determine the timetable  and issue an announcement document! If your country is willing to support this proposal, we are willing to open markets including electricity, transportation, shipbuilding, etc. to the United States, and will also actively cooperate with American consortiums and businessmen to invest and build factories in China I don¡¯t know about you  Have you ever thought about the prospects of a market with 450 million people, maybe 500 million, 600 million people or even more in a few years? Moreover, our country¡¯s labor force is cheaper, which can promote American products to occupy a larger share.  Export advantage.¡±

    The United States has the world's strongest commodity manufacturing capabilities, but the domestic market has become saturated, and the colonial policy has restricted the dream of globalizing American goods. When Yang Qiu took the initiative to open the door, the temptation was indeed not small.  Even Wilson was very moved by the concept of "three to one complement" for later generations. Although this policy has advantages and disadvantages, there is no doubt that it will promote the country's industry.  Of course, before these fantasies can occur, the United States needs to support Yang Qiu¡¯s proposal to completely abolish all unequal treaties since the Qing government.  This means that China will not only regain Taiwan, but also the data in the north.Hundreds of square kilometers of land.

    Wilson and Lansing looked at each other. Taiwan is the most important channel for Japan to go south. Giving it to China can restrain Japan's southward development and reduce the threat to the Philippines.  But the question is, will China go south because of this in the future?  And the two suddenly discovered another important thing In addition to Sakhalin Island, the areas under Russian jurisdiction last proposed by the Republic of China seemed to be the former territory that was cut off by the "Beijing Treaty" between China and Russia.

    "If the U.S. government is willing to support us, I will promise to immediately promote the demilitarization policy of Taiwan Island in our Congress! Strictly control the number of troops stationed and be willing to accept supervision from various countries." Yang Qiu slowly put down the teacup.  !  ~!
