Mediterranean Hegemony Road
Chapter 20, everyone is in action
In the prime minister's residence at 10 Downing Street in London, Lloyd-George is holding a secret meeting. The content can be said to be a cliché. Do you want to take down the biggest competitor of the United States in one fell swoop?
The main war faction and the main peace faction have been arguing for more than a year. From the king and the prime minister down to the ordinary citizens, they are all discussing this issue.
Just like the Americans hate the British, the British don't have any good feelings for the Americans. The ordinary people who were originally anti-war did not jump out this time.
Perhaps in their impression, the United States is only a small country in the Americas, not worth mentioning, and it is impossible to stop the European countries from uniting. In addition, the casualties caused by the flu to the British are more than the world war. Countless families of the deceased Become a staunch main fighting faction!
In any case, the flu was brought by the Americans, and there is nothing wrong with asking the Americans to settle accounts. There are so many countries coming together to repair the outbreak, and everyone is happy to see it.
Ordinary people can think like this, but politicians can't. Do you really think Americans are unprepared?
Just look at the slipway in the United States in the last 24 hours. They are busy making dumplings. Local governments are also strengthening militia training. Military industrial enterprises are operating at full capacity again!
While the Wilson government is pretending to be a grandson and pretending to be pitiful to win sympathy, it is also stepping up its preparations and preparing to resist attacks from various countries by force!
Ferdinand's showdown to the British is precisely because of this. The longer the time drags on, the more prepared the Americans will be, and the more difficult this war will be!
Perhaps the United States is still very weak, but the war potential of the world's largest industrial power is definitely not low. If the first wave cannot reach the United States, the subsequent battles will be difficult to fight.
The main reason for the internal disputes in the British government is the issue of interests. The British Empire's power has now reached its peak, and even if it kills the United States, it will not be able to eat it!
The same problem exists in France and Bulgaria, everyone is busy digesting the benefits of the world war and restoring the domestic economy.
Lloyd-George said: "Our previous judgment was wrong, the appetite of the Bulgarians is better than we thought, and their hostility to the Americans is greater than we expected!
The Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs just made it clear to us that if we want to do something to the Americans, we should act immediately, otherwise they will not participate!
Their reasons may well be known to everyone. If the delay continues, when the Americans are ready for war, it will be another protracted war.
So how do we answer them now?
You must know that in our previous plan, if the main force against the Americans is us and the Japanese, other countries will make up the sum. We are worried that the loss will be too great, and we will not be able to make up our minds, but now it is different, and there is another big country. Ken goes all out.
After Bulgaria joins, we can even bring in the French. The four major powers will attack the United States at the same time, and we will be invincible militarily!
Now everyone can express their opinions, right? "
The Minister of State asked coldly, "What about the military spending? First there is a world war, and then there is a pandemic. The economy of the British Empire has been tossed to the brink of death. If the war continues, I am afraid the consequences will not be so simple!"
Churchill retorted: "If it is against the Americans,
The problem of military spending is easy to solve, some consortiums are willing to provide loans to us, and there is strong anti-American sentiment among the people, it is also easy to issue a war bond!
And as long as the Americans are defeated, these expenses can be borne by them. The duration of this war will not be too long. All countries will act together. As long as the American navy is defeated, Washington will have to submit to us! "
Whether or not to fight against the United States, the British capitalists are also divided into two factions, and the bankers are undoubtedly the ones who advocate the destruction of the Americans.
The Americans took advantage of the opportunity of the world war, not only to get rid of their financial control, but also to annex a lot of their interests in the United States. As losers, they naturally want to regain the lost interests!
Anyway, the capitalists who started the war were the capitalists engaged in overseas trade. Britain and the United States have been each other’s largest trading partners for a long time. Now the cold war between the two sides has caused them heavy losses.
Of course, capitalists usually do not have clear boundaries, and it is very normal to engage in multiple industries at the same time, so now the strength of the main battle faction has actually taken the lead!
Lloyd-George is also a member of the main battle faction. The reason is very realistic. He needs the support of the domestic consortium in order to take the British Empire out of economic undervaluation as soon as possible!
...
The cabinet could not be unified, and Lloyd-George interrupted the quarrel, saying, "Okay, if everyone can't agree, let's throw this issue to Congress and let our MPs decide for us! "
Everyone chose silence and let the members decide, then war is inevitable, and there are hundreds of thousands of families of the dead in London alone. They are undoubtedly staunch revengeists!
How is it possible that the Wilson administration's bitter tactics will gain public approval? European media are not blind either. In order to collect the death toll of 3.8 million, the U.S. government has almost superimposed the death toll of the country in the past two years.
And there are cases of being killed. Simply put, people are still alive, and you are already dead in the household registration. A large number of fraudulent incidents have been exposed one after another, and the credibility of the Wilson government has also been ruined.
Ferdinand's contribution is of course indispensable here. Even if it is going to make a trick, the US government can't really use more than three million young people to make up the number?
Only a few hundred thousand people have died in history, and this time and space has suddenly increased so much, no ghosts?
Of course, the Wilson government has no choice. Even if they want to cause a large casualty, the time will not allow it. During the peak of the second wave of deaths, your death toll was only a little, and the last wave suddenly increased tenfold. Think Is it difficult not to wear clothes?
Even in order to stabilize people's hearts, the US government's initial announcement of the number of casualties was lower than the actual number. After all, the US government was only targeted after the second wave of influenza broke out, and they could not prepare for fraud in advance!
The bitter meat scheme was exposed as soon as it was fermented, and those who had been deceived by sympathy would naturally no longer have any goodwill towards them.
Of course, if everyone wants to do something to them, it is useless even if the casualties of the United States are too great. The right to speak in Europe is still in the hands of Britain, France, and the three countries. As long as you guide public opinion, you can still achieve your goal.
The worst thing about parliamentary decision-making is that there is no confidentiality and efficiency. When it was submitted to the British Parliament for discussion, almost the whole world knew the British plan.
Therefore, before the resolution of the London Parliament, British Foreign Minister Gray and Bulgarian Foreign Minister Metev had secretly arrived in Paris, of course, the purpose was to pull the French on board, and to divide the spoils in advance!
For this operation, the attitude of the French has always been perfunctory, in addition to their heavy losses in the World War, there is another reason for the benefit.
Killing the Americans is the biggest opponent for the British, and any country that intervenes to challenge the pound system is their mortal enemy!
For the Japanese, the two powers in the Pacific are too crowded. Besides, the conflict between the United States and Japan has a long history. How could they refuse to be able to kill the biggest competitor in the Pacific?
For Bulgaria, on the surface, there is not much interest now, but what about the future? Britain and France, who have given up their martial arts skills and devoted themselves to playing finance, can become very good friends, but the United States, the world's largest industrial power, is destined to be rivals.
They even killed the Americans. When the oil age came, Bulgaria was the center of the world, and the economic trend of the world was under Ferdinand's control!
Not to mention being the unique overlord in the world, being the most important member of the overlord, how can you get out of it?
...
The French do not want to participate in the cooperation, it does not matter, the direct interests are in place and everything is negotiable, so this is the reason why the British and Bulgarian foreign ministers visited Paris this time.
After the greeting, the French President Poincaré, who was the host, said, "I already know the purpose of the two of you coming this time, but for the French Republic, what are the benefits of participating in this operation?"
British Foreign Secretary Gray replied with a smile: "The Americas are the Americas of the world. There should be a share of your country, such as your country's North American Louisiana region. Don't you want to take it back?"
(Note: The North American Louisiana region is between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains, from Canada in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south, equivalent to 13 states in the Midwest of the United States.
In 1800, Napoleon, who had just come to power in France, won the Louisiana region of North America from Spain by virtue of his powerful military strength.
The presence of a powerful France was very unsettling for the newly independent United States, as Napoleon would most likely plot Canada to the north, and then allow Native American Indians to harass the US border.
In 1802, the then U.S. President Jefferson took advantage of the Anglo-French war to take advantage of the robbery, negotiated with France, and with the threat of war, bought 2.6 million square kilometers of land from the French at a very low price of $15 million, ending the honeymoon period between the two countries! )
This piece of history has always been a pain in the hearts of the French people. They brought their own dry food and contributed money to help the Americans win the War of Independence. They were robbed by the Americans in a blink of an eye.
Poengale's face is very ugly. This history has always been a pain in the hearts of French people. Almost all French politicians are avoiding this history.
Before Poengale could answer, Metev added another knife: "Mr. Poengale, you should be clear about the nature of the Americans, there is nothing in their eyes except interests, and now they are the world's No. 1 industry. Great country.
In terms of war potential, their strength is stronger than the Germans. If they continue to develop, I am afraid that in the future we will all have to look at the color of the Americans!
If we miss this opportunity, even if the Americans want to unify the American continent, we will not be able to stop it. Once the Americans unify the American continent, the era that belongs to our Europe will end!
Even if our three countries join forces, they will not be able to resist a unified America. Their war potential will be greater than that of a unified Europe. If they want, they can even turn us into history! "
Gray was shocked, and seemed to understand why Bulgaria was so active this time. He was completely frightened by the development of the Americans, and of course he was frightened too!
Looking back at the history of American expansion, the possibility of this happening is still very high. Now the total industrial volume of the Americans is \u003e Britain + France + Bulgaria + Austria-Hungary + Russia + Japan, even the countries in the world that are barely considered foreign powers All together, they are not as good as the United States!
Of course, Japan and Russia can be ignored. The total industrial volume of Japan is less than 1.5% of the total global industrial volume. Russia is busy fighting a civil war, and does not care about industrial development at all!
Even so, it is very terrifying. If they don't fight again, after they turn their industrial strength into war strength, it will be hard to say who can say in this world in the future!
Pouengale's face is even more terrifying. Interests + American threat theory. If the French government refuses this action again, it is estimated that the British and Bulgarian countries will not take them to play together!
He is sure that even if France declares its neutrality, the British Poles will still promote the war. Without France, there are other countries as substitutes, such as: Austria-Hungary, but the influence will be much smaller!
The reason why the British, French, and Bulgarian countries often join forces now is to give the outside world the illusion that these three countries are allies, and they use the tiger skin of the alliance to deter other countries.
The effect is also very good. It is much stronger than the British-French alliance in history. Whether it is Japan, the United States, or other countries, when facing the Three-Kingdom Alliance, everyone is unconsciously weaker.
Therefore, the Three Kingdoms Alliance, France is absolutely not able to withdraw, a single France has no strength to maintain its current international influence!
Because of the common interests, even the British have gained the most from it, and the two countries have ideas in mind, but everyone still has to maintain the existence of this alliance.
Poengale is also a politician after all, how could he not hear this hint? I saw him righteously said: "The US government's perverse actions have seriously endangered world peace and stability. As a responsible major country, the French Republic has an obligation to make a contribution to maintaining world peace and stability!
I suggest that the League of Nations come forward to form a coalition force to stop the US government's behavior of ignoring human survival and wantonly conducting biochemical virus research, and arrest the mastermind of this anti-human terrorist attack! "
Worthy of being a politician, in a short period of time, he turned passive into active, put a series of hats on the US government, and directly characterized this "American flu" as an anti-human terrorist attack!
