On February 28, 1923, the last day of the month, the Eagle Sauce issued an obituary. President Will died in the capital Washington on the same day after rescue.
The death of President Will was definitely a huge loss for the Eagle Sauce. His death interrupted the Eagle Sauce's pace of getting rid of isolationism. Several presidents after him did not insist on internationalization and going out like him. This led to the Eagle Sauce having martial arts but not obtaining the international status that matched it.
Of course, this situation was changed after World War II, but that is the story of another great president. On
March 1, Mainz expressed sincere condolences to the Eagle Sauce government as Prime Minister Hans, and said that he would personally attend President Will's funeral.
This was the first telegram of condolences from a foreign country received by the Eagle Sauce, and it was also the first foreign dignitary who was determined to attend the funeral, so the names of Mainz and Hans appeared frequently in major newspapers in the Eagle Sauce country that day, which was a great presence!
At this time, the two great powers of the Allied Powers, the British Empire and the Gauls, were fighting with the bears in Eastern Europe, and the Poles were licking their wounds. They had no time to take care of other things, not to mention that President Will was already the former president of the Eagle Sauce. Even if a former president died, it was not so important, so the reactions of several other countries were relatively slow, or simply did not react.
Compared with other countries, Mainz, which acted quickly and expressed condolences first, quickly stood out and won the favor of many Eagle Sauce people.
The Eagle Sauce people are still very supportive of President Will. After all, this president led them to win the First World War, greatly improving the status of the Eagle Sauce in the world and becoming an existence that can sit on an equal footing with the world hegemon, the British Empire. This makes the Eagle Sauce people very proud!
Moreover, President Will worked hard for the country and eventually died of illness in his post. This spirit of dedication is also worthy of the admiration of the Eagle Sauce people, so the people are very concerned about President Will's funeral! On
March 1, the day of the funeral, a total of 150,000 people spontaneously participated in the funeral.
Mainz was also among them, and received special attention from major newspapers in the United States. Wherever he went, a group of reporters followed him and took pictures.
And Mainz also pretended to show a sad look in front of the reporters, and expressed condolences and sympathy to President Will's family.
As the only foreign dignitary to attend the funeral, Mainz received a lot of attention, and his actions won him the favor of most people in the United States. His reputation spread throughout the United States almost within a week, and his reputation was even higher than that of the newly elected president! The newly elected President Harding was very unhappy with Mainz who stole his limelight, so he directly refused to meet with Mainz.
To be honest, this approach is quite embarrassing. After all, Mainz came to visit the United States as Prime Minister Hans. It is very rude for you, the head of state, not to come out to entertain guests, but to directly refuse to meet others.
When President Harding made this decision, not only Mainz was stunned, but also the people of the Eagle Sauce were also shocked!
How could there be such a weird president?
The British have always said that North America is a wild land, and that we are barbarians of the Eagle Sauce. We have spent decades to prove that we are not barbarians. If you act so recklessly at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of decades of efforts before?
How will others view this matter?
Others will think that if the president of a country is so unreasonable and rude, then how good can your country and your people be?
Many people pessimistically believe that if this news spreads to Europe, it will definitely be ridiculed by European countries!
Sure enough, this matter soon spread to Europe. After hearing the news, the British immediately gloated and posted a post to mock the Eagle Sauce and Hans.
The Times, which never sets, said in a very arrogant tone:
More than 150 years ago, when our army was fighting in North America, our army had always been very gentlemanly and maintained the aristocratic tradition of not shooting at civilians and enemy commanders.
As a result, the despicable and shameless Eagle Sauce people deliberately hid among the people, disguised as civilians and shot and attacked us, and also specifically attacked our noble generals.
They won the war in this despicable way, but they are destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!
I was surprised that after 150 years, the Eagle Sauce people should at least learn some of the advanced culture of our Western developed countries and at least become a civilized country.
As a result, their president is like a naughty child, so neglectful and disrespectful to the guests of other countries.
This can't help but make me deeply confused.
What happened to the land of North America? Why can't the people of this country learn a little bit of civilized etiquette from advanced countries?
As soon as this article came out, it was immediately reprinted and reported by major newspapers around the world. However, the image and reputation of the Eagle Sauce in the international community plummeted and fell to the bottom. The reputation and status that President Will had worked so hard to earn in the international community were almost ruined by President Harding in one day!
Of course, since there is an opportunity to belittle Mainz, who has caused him huge losses and made him suffer several setbacks, the British will not let it go.
They said jokingly in the newspaper:"Hans thought that he would be welcomed by the Eagle Sauce if he took the initiative to go to North America to please the Eagle Sauce, but he didn't expect to meet President Harding, this weirdo, and he was rejected by the Eagle Sauce all of a sudden.
It's embarrassing!" Is it embarrassing?
Mainz didn't feel embarrassed, he just felt disappointed!
Compared with President Will, the level of his successor, President Harding, is so poor that it is hard to look directly at!
Through the SS intelligence system in North America, Mainz received a lot of secret intelligence about Harding.
One piece of intelligence showed that in an internal meeting, Harding once declared:
"What the Eagle Sauce needs right now is not heroism, but healing; not a panacea, but normalization; not revolution, but recovery; not excitement, but peace of mind; not experimentation, but balance; not being dragged down by international affairs, but success at home...."
These vague sermons are basically nonsense, without any real substance. He neither realized the real problems faced by the Eagle Sauce at this time, nor proposed any effective solutions. With this person in power, Mainz felt that the Eagle Sauce's foreign policy would definitely be greatly adjusted in a short period of time.
However, it is certain that under the leadership of President Harding, the Eagle Sauce will definitely return to the path of isolationism, at most adhere to the Monroe Doctrine, and then play by itself behind closed doors, regardless of the earth-shaking changes in the outside world!
After recognizing the true face of President Harding, Mainz no longer had any hope for the top leaders of the Eagle Sauce. Before returning home, he secretly met with Vanelk, conveyed to the other party his key arrangements for his next work, and then set off to return home! However
, to Mainz's surprise, when he boarded the cruise ship to return home, a large number of Eagle Sauce people spontaneously came to the dock to see him off.
These people had heard about President Harding's rude behavior, so they felt guilty and uneasy. They could not replace the president and make decisions for him, so they could only express their gratitude and condolences to the guests who came from afar in their own way.
Seeing these people, Mainz finally saw a little hope in the Eagle Sauce.
"Let's go back home. I'm afraid I won't come to North America again in ten years!" Mainz sighed slightly. Before President Roosevelt was elected, North America was not worth his return!
In the next ten years, Mainz's attention will be focused on Hans!
