＜ Declaration of war. (3) >
[Senator Teller’s Amendment to Teller, 35 to 42 Senate rejected. Can’t cross the Senate wall. ]
[ Teller Amendment, which passed the House of Representatives 311 to 6, why was it rejected in the Senate? What is Cuba’s fate? ]

Teller Amendment.
A bill that would permanently prevent the United States from exercising control of Cuba, making it permanently incapable of colonization or annexation of Cuba.
“According to the original history, it would pass the Senate and the Senate and permanently bar the United States from eating Cuba.
It was the result of an immediate move by Hill, who joined hands with the Great Northern Railway.
He opened meetings with major shipping companies that had formed anti-war opinion by releasing lobbyists to the US Senate and House, and succeeded in changing their minds.
The large shipping companies changed their posture 180 degrees, and the lobbyists who were carrying out the request were embarrassed, but they started lobbying again due to public opinion.
As a result, the Senate rejected the Teller Amendment that would prevent the United States from permanently annexing Cuba.
[Second Teller Amendment, special provision added to the ‘permanent’ item for Cuba. ‘If the Cuban government’s intention is clear and the request is based on independent decision-making, Cuba’s control is permitted.’ ]
[Chairman of the Senate, ‘Blocking the request for annexation through a democratic process is suppressing the free will of the Cuban government. The decision should be left to the Cuban government.’ ]
[Second Teller Amendment, passed by the House of Representatives 165 to 153. On the same day, the Senate passed 54-22. ]

“Ha, ‘democratic procedure’. You speak well.”
“But, Master, if the Cuban government refuses to control or annex Cuba even at the request of the Cuban government, then it is right to ignore the democratic decision-making, right?”
“No, that ‘democratic decision-making’ is the problem.”
At first glance, democratic decision-making. In other words, it may seem more reasonable to those who live in a democratic society to act according to the decisions of parliament or cabinet.
But does the parliament really reflect the will of the people? Well, if you ask me.
Cases in which the parliament has not sufficiently expressed the will of the people can be poured into countless numbers until the 21st century.
‘Especially during the 20th century, the CIA’s malicious operation within the fence of the free camp of the United States was very prevalent.’
In the end, it is politics, and in the end it is interest.
In the first place, does the United States fully reflect the will of the people? If you ask, right away, just look at the President of the United States of America with his yellow hair fluttering like a lion’s mane and his fingers raised.
“James. Do you know what the gist of this amendment is?”
“Isn’t that the point that Cuba could be colonized or annexed?”
“no.”
No.
The crux of the problem lies in this area.
It doesn’t mean ‘I can do it’.
“The US Congress and the federal government intend to annex Cuba ‘by any means’.”
Wall Street, large shipping companies, and Cuban plantation forces, who had argued for anti-war opinion in the original history, all turned to the main public opinion.
And the 2nd Teller Amendment also established the people’s demand to liberate Cuba under the pretext of ‘democratic decision-making’.

Contrary to its original history, the United States now has only one thing left to do is devour Cuba.
And with the Pacific Ocean.
“……haha.”
My little wing flap gave America Cuba.

Washington DC
Naval Office.
“Sir, it is said that the merchant ships of the Great Northern Railway and the major shipping companies are entering British Hong Kong one after another. It is large enough to project power into the Pacific.”
“Haha, I don’t know if the name should be changed to Pacific Fleet instead of Asian Fleet.”
Navy conference room.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has never been as happy as he is now while serving in the Navy.
‘Thanks to moving to Detroit, I’m feeling better.’
“How is the supply of coal?”
“I got a letter from Rockefeller. It is said that all you need to do is transport the tribes mined from the coal mines in Pennsylvania to the Pacific Ocean. The land and sea transport of coal will be handled by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Great Northern Railroad.”
“This is a big deal. Why do you think railway companies look pretty these days?”
“Actually, so are we.”
– ha ha ha!!!
The conference room burst into laughter.
Coal and ammunition were piled up in large warehouses at ports in the western United States, and merchant ships of large shipping companies were shipped in bulk to British Hong Kong.
Supply is becoming more and more abundant, and the available warships are constantly being replenished.
‘Trust… I don’t like it, but I should be grateful for this time.’
Roosevelt hates trust.
Because the trusts were vicious entrepreneurs who slaughtered, grinded and whipped workers, and the robber aristocracy was just doing their own thing. As of now, nothing has changed.
But Roosevelt has tasted the strongest advantage of monopoly capital this time.
it’s speed
Incredibly fast speed.
While the inefficient administration of politicians and civil servants crawls like a snail, monopoly trusts solve large-scale projects with just the president’s money.
He was experiencing the results with his whole body.
creak-
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt leaned back in the conference room chair.
‘and….’
– I want you to devour all the Spanish islands in the Pacific.
– No, you’re wrong. I want you to erase the Spanish fleet.
‘If you look only at the Detroit director who reorganized the Railroad Trust. He is a true American for America’s national interest.’
trust.
There’s room to reconsider a little.
Future president and monopoly destroyer.
In the deep heart of Theodore Roosevelt, the flower of capitalism has sprouted a small bud.
Then an officer blew the candle.
“But after occupying the Philippines or Spanish islands in the Pacific, shouldn’t we hand over all these rights for free?”
“Did you get shot in the head?”
“Yes?”
shudder.
Roosevelt loaded his revolver and rested his chin on his desk.
“Without their support, how are we going to eat the Philippines or Pacific islands you mentioned? And you’re telling the US federal government to eat up all the enemies of the Philippines? Are you going to nationalize it? Are you a redneck?”
“Ah, ah, no.”
“If not, keep that damn snout shut. Because I want to shoot you.”
“Sin, I’m sorry!!!”
full-
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt undid his tie and leaned back against the road chair. During a formal conversation with Detroit Morgan, when he was asked a question like an officer’s head, a fever rose in his head.
Guys like that need to be plucked out.
smart-
Then a knock was heard outside the door.
“Come in.”
“Excuse me.”
An officer entered the conference room and went straight to Roosevelt. He even whispered in a whisper.
– The Minister of the Navy wants to meet you for a moment.
“…..!!!”
Roosevelt’s eyes widened for a moment, but immediately released.
Well, for some reason, the Secretary of the Navy took a longer vacation than originally planned. It’s time to come back.
“Twitter.”
Roosevelt got up from his chair and straightened his untied tie.
And I looked around the conference room.
“Once the meeting is over.”
After the meeting, Roosevelt followed the officer to the secretary’s office.
***
“Are you crazy now!!!”
clink-
Broken ashtrays scattered.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt stared calmly at the Secretary of the Navy without blinking an eye.
“What’s with those damn eyes? What you’ve done now is overkill!!! Monthly ticket!!!”
“I’m sorry, but the deployment of the fleet and the issue of wartime readiness are within the jurisdiction of the Assistant Secretary of State.”
“Because let’s see this bastard!!!”
puck-
Secretary of the Navy John Long hurriedly threw the fountain pen, but Roosevelt avoided it effortlessly.
“Are you ordering the Asian Fleet to prepare for war? Right now, the US doesn’t have a port, so it’s anchored in British Hong Kong. Are you planning to damage your relationship with the British Empire and the United States right now!!!”
“Yes?”
Roosevelt tilted his head.
What nonsense is this kid now?
“furthermore!!! What can you do with only 2 of the 4 armored cruisers? I heard that the supply of coal and ammunition is not going well, but you can be held responsible for what you did!!!”

Oh
Roosevelt understood.
This guy is an idiot who doesn’t know anything about the Navy.
The reason I took a long vacation was not because of high-level political decisions, but because I just wanted a vacation.
I must have been mistaken.
“Minister.”
“Are you still the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for the United States of America!!! If you don’t eat the navy, your aptitude will be unlocked!!!”
“Minister?”
“How am I going to face the high ranks of the British Empire now!!!”
“The British Empire proposed it first.”
“You eat the face of the Navy— huh?”
Secretary of the Navy, John Long, blinked as if he was talking nonsense.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt scratched his head.
“I said that the British Empire proposed it first. If war breaks out between the US and Spain, you are free to arm yourself in British Hong Kong.”
“What kind of grass eating is that? Why are those high-profile kids like Big Ben?”
“And we even got the understanding that civilian merchant ships could be armed in British Hong Kong. It must have been received by the 1st naval sergeant of the Royal Navy of the British Empire.”
The naval minister had a grotesque face.
How much has the naval departments of the world powers suffered from the Royal Navy of the British Empire? Sometimes they come and go along the nearby coast, and they are rookies that they use as if they were their home.
But why are they like that?
“…Did you eat the wrong eel jelly as a group?”
“I do not know.”
tuk-
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt placed the reports from the conference room on the secretary’s desk.
“The details will be in this report, but the Detroit director intervened.”
“Detroit. I remember the name.”
I remember hearing that too.
Navy Secretary John Long rubbed his forehead and squeezed his memory.
“right. Obviously at the Ministerial Meeting.”
“Yes, the person who reorganized the Railroad Trust.”
“No, isn’t he just a 16-year-old kid? How did he roast and boil the British Empire?”
Deputy Secretary Roosevelt shrugged at the Secretary of the Navy’s ridiculous expression.
“Well, I don’t know how. Thanks to this, the supply of coal and ammunition was also abundant. You do not have to worry about distribution. Dozens of armed merchant ships are already moored in British Hong Kong. The sea route was opened by the British Empire. They also rented out guns to be installed on armed merchant ships.”
“No, what is that…”
is that bullshit?
Secretary of the Navy John Long sat down on a chair in the secretary’s office with a blank expression on his face.
“So. Thanks to that Detroit Morgan, the supply of coal and ammunition has been resolved, and with the full cooperation of the British Empire, the Raimis also provide guns for armed merchant ships and open sea routes?”
“It is correct.”
Navy Secretary John Long’s mouth widened.
“What the hell is that guy doing?”
“Isn’t he the second son of the Morgan family?”
“No, wouldn’t this be a little difficult for Chairman Morgan as well?”
“……Well.”
nod.
For the first time since joining the Department of the Navy, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt sympathized with Secretary of the Navy John Long. Because that’s what he thought too.
bang-
At that moment, the secretary of the navy minister slammed the door of the minister’s office and entered.
The dazed naval minister’s face was decorated like a devil’s horn in an instant.
“You don’t even knock-”
“sorry!!! It’s urgent!!!”
heh heh heh heh heh
🥳-
The aide hurriedly ripped the telegram from the communication room and handed it to the Minister of the Navy.
“Emergency?”
The naval minister roughly snatched the telegram.
But when he glanced at the telegram, his eyes widened as if torn.
The assistant exclaimed hastily.
“Spain has declared war!!!”
***
Bump-
James slammed the door open and entered.
“Master, Spain!!!”
“Did you even declare war?”
“Yes? Yes.”
How do you do that?
James looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“It’s only been eight hours since the federal government sent out the ultimatum?”
“Yes.”
“These bastards have gotten so much momentum that they got some machine guns.”

Originally, the declaration of war would have been issued three days after receiving the ultimatum, but it means that as soon as eight hours later, the declaration of war was written and beaten.
No, it may have been written beforehand.
but do they know
The fact that they have set their own feet in hellfire.
f*ck.
I raised the corners of my lips.
“Now I can’t get it.”
＜ Declaration of war. (3) > end
