The Rise of Australia

Chapter 605 Public Opinion Offensive

At Britain's urging, the World Alliance moved quickly.

1. The World Alliance issued a notice to the US government, asking the US government to end the war in the Philippines and Central America within three months and bring peace to these two regions.

During a period of three months, the Americans are not allowed to send troops to the Philippines and Central America again, and they should gradually withdraw American troops from these two areas and withdraw their own navy.

If the United States fails to meet the above conditions, then in three months, the 1st World Alliance will formally intervene in the war in these two regions.

This notice was not only submitted to the U.S. government, but was also reported by major European media and spread to the American media and the public.

Such a threatening notice also firmly stated the position of the World Alliance. The US government naturally knows the purpose behind this notice, but they can no longer back down at this time.

In other words, they must choose a more reasonable plan that will cause them little loss in order to satisfy the American people who are already informed.

Let’s not mention the Philippines. After all, the Philippines loses money most of the time. Its biggest role is just a springboard for the United States’ Pacific strategy, a military base on the west coast of the Pacific.

Central America is very important to the United States, and it is not far from the United States.

If European powers took control of Central America, several coastal states in the southern United States would be threatened by them. This was an unacceptable fact for Americans.

What's even more terrible is that if the Panama Canal is also lost in this incident, then the hope of the United States will basically be extinguished.

The Panama Canal is as important to the United States as any canal in the world, just as the Kiel Canal was once as important to the German Empire.

But the Kiel Canal only saves a few hundred nautical miles, while the Panama Canal saves the entire journey in South America.

If the Panama Canal is in the hands of other countries, the economy and development of the United States will usher in darkness, which is absolutely unacceptable to the U.S. government.

With this attitude, the U.S. government contacted the World Alliance and several more important countries in the World Alliance and expressed the U.S. government's attitude that it was unwilling to evacuate Central America.

No matter how firm the attitude of the Americans is, one country is destined to be unable to resist the alliance of several countries.

Australasia and Britain smiled slightly and came up with the strategy they used during the Irish War, which was to control public opinion and carry out bombings.

In the past, Americans often deceived the British during the Irish War, trumpeted the British's brutal rule in Ireland, and promoted the British as a big villain.

This time it was the British's turn to retaliate. The United Kingdom and Australasia showed no mercy. They purchased a large number of European and American news newspapers. They reported on the war in Central America one after another and painted the American military as evil. Villain.

1. Los Angeles, California, USA.

Odik is an ordinary American worker. Like other workers, their most enjoyable time is the ten minutes they spend reading the newspaper during breakfast, which not only allows them to relax, but also allows them to learn about new things happening in society.

Picking up today's newspaper, Odik looked slightly surprised and looked at the biggest headline in the newspaper - The Evil War.

After gently reading the contents of the newspaper, Odike's face became very exciting. He was attracted by the good writing style of the news editor and brought himself into the story.

The story at the beginning of the news is about an ordinary family in the Central American country of Nicaragua. Like Odic, he is also an ordinary worker.

But because there are American bases in Nicaragua, these American soldiers will harass Nicaraguan civilians from time to time, burning, killing, and looting without hesitation.

Because of the American soldiers, a large number of Nicaraguan families were ruined from their original happy homes. Even when they were sick, they had no money to go to the doctor, which eventually led to their physical collapse.

At the end of the story is a summary of the news, which raises a thought-provoking question: "If this were the real cause of the war, would you still support this evil war?"

Although there is no statement about the authenticity of this story, several pictures in the news are from the Nicaraguan war, and there are several Nicaraguan children who look skinny and hungry with their chests pressed against their backs.

This is also the brilliance of the newspaper. It does not take the initiative to explain the authenticity of the story, but allows the public to guess and deeply immerse themselves in the story and consider it from a Nicaraguan perspective.

"Damn, this can't be true, right?" Audik's expression became hesitant, because he also understood that the world was not so glorious, and the struggle between countries was not so harmonious.

"What's wrong?" Odik's wife looked at her husband curiously.

"See for yourself, I can't believe this is real. What has our country done?" Odik said with a look of disbelief.

Scenes like this happen to many families in the United States, and they make the atmosphere on the last day of August less than wonderful.

But this is nothing. The morning news cannot affect these workers at all from going to work at their jobs. After all, making money is the most important thing.

But when all these workers who have watched the news gather together, this is the best time for public opinion to ferment.

A factory outside Los Angeles.

"Hey, Odik, have you seen today's news?" The person next to Odik looked at Odik with a mysterious face and asked.

"Of course, have you also seen that report?" Odik nodded, just in time to ask his question.

"Do you think the things in the news are true? Odik. Has our country really done so many cruel things?" Before Odik could ask the question, the man next to him asked directly.

"Probably not." Audik's answer was hesitant, just like his mood: "Aren't those soldiers also ordinary Americans? They probably wouldn't do that."

"Then how do you explain the flu thing before?" The man continued to ask curiously.

Odik was speechless at this time and had no thoughts of refuting.

Putting aside the authenticity of this news report, the last time the influenza came from a US laboratory was certified by the World Alliance, and the US government also paid a considerable part of the compensation.

If it's not true, the World Alliance can't just frame it for no reason! Besides, the U.S. government accepted the loan, which is enough to prove the U.S. government’s guilty conscience.

With the flu ahead, even if they are law-abiding and patriotic Americans, there is no guarantee that their government and military will not do such a thing.

"What are we talking about?" The people next to him also came up and joined in the chat.

"Let's talk about today's newspaper, Sherlock. Didn't you see today's newspaper? You really missed a big news." The person next to Odick said with a smile.

"Is it that report? I saw it too." The man named Sherlock nodded and said.

"Do you think that's true? Sherlock." Audik asked curiously.

"I think it should be true. If it is not true, the World Federation will not issue a formal warning.

You know, the World Alliance is composed of five great powers: Britain, Australasia, France, Russia and Italy. They can't specifically target us, right? "Sherlock expressed his thoughts.

"Damn it, it seems the news is true." The person next to Odik said angrily: "We cannot support this evil war. Do you have any good plans?"

"Why don't you ask Mr. Decker what he thinks? If you want to organize a parade for this, I will be happy to spend my free time." Audik nodded and suggested.

Dyke is the head of the factory workers' association. He is deeply loved by these workers and has the highest voice among the workers.

General workers' demonstrations are also organized by these workers' associations. After all, there are not many people with enough prestige to organize workers in the entire factory to march.

If the morning news reports only opened up the American controversy about the war, then as time went on, the controversy gradually reached its climax.

As a country that was founded not long ago, the United States is also the largest immigrant country in the world. There are still many unstable factors in the country.

Although a large number of immigrants identify with this country because of the strength of the United States, there are also many people who are dissatisfied with the government and the country.

Driven by organizations at home and abroad, the discussion about this war has reached its climax. Many people who are dissatisfied with the government have gradually jumped out and even started a huge demonstration.

1 The first demonstration about this incident took place on the streets of Los Angeles. More than 500 workers from several factories participated, which attracted great attention from the Los Angeles government.

But this is not over yet. In just one week, the epidemic has swept through many American cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, from the West Coast to the East Coast.

If the initial demonstration was just a private premeditation by some factories, then as time went by, the demonstration also became organized and large-scale.

As time comes, the number of people marching in the United States has exceeded 100,000.

On the streets of major cities in the United States, Americans holding banners demanding an end to the war can be seen.

They shouted angrily and even denounced the American police who maintained order as accomplices of the government.

The current President Coolidge and the US President Wilson during the influenza period were also called madmen by the Americans who marched, believing that they were leading the United States into the abyss.
