Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 813 Argentina (3)

Argentina.

On this day, the Argentine Foreign Minister summoned the US Ambassador.

"Your Excellency Stephen, I now officially inform you that our country has decided to expel all Americans in our country, including Your Excellency Stephen."

"What?!" Ambassador Stephen was shocked. Expelling an ambassador is no child's play. Expelling an ambassador is a prelude to severing diplomatic relations in the diplomatic field, and severing diplomatic relations to a large extent means being in a state of complete hostility or war with this country. "Is your country going to declare war on our country?" Are these guys crazy? Argentina has always been against the United States. Could it be that seeing the United States' frequent defeats after declaring war with Germany has made these guys emboldened? Do you dare to provoke the United States? !

The Argentine Foreign Minister said calmly. "Maybe it will be possible in the future because the Germans are coming."

"Germans?!" Ambassador Stephen's face instantly turned ugly! Does this mean that Argentina has come together with the Germans? !

As if he had read through Ambassador Stephen's suspicion, the Argentine Foreign Minister smiled slightly. "Don't be too surprised, Sir Stephen. It was your country that destroyed the 'Monroe Doctrine' first, so you can't blame the Germans for meddling in South America, right?"

When Latin America became independent a long time ago, the United States had already regarded Latin America as its own sphere of influence. From 1822 to 1823, when the European "Holy Alliance" attempted to interfere in the independence movement in Latin America, the United States actively pursued the policy of "American affairs are American affairs." In 1823, U.S. President Monroe delivered a message to Congress, declaring: "In the future, any European power shall not treat the independent and free countries of the American continent as objects of future colonization." He also said that the United States would not interfere in the internal affairs of European powers. European powers were not allowed to interfere in American affairs. This message is commonly known as the "Monroe Declaration." The principles it contains are commonly known as the "Monroe Doctrine." The Monroe Doctrine has three main meanings: (1) It requires European countries not to colonize the Western Hemisphere. This principle not only expresses opposition to the expansion of Western European countries in Latin America, but also opposes Russia's expansion on the west coast of North America; (2) requires Europe not to interfere in the affairs of independent American countries; (3) ensures that the United States does not interfere in European affairs, including existing European affairs. affairs in the American colonies.

The Monroe Declaration became a basic principle of American foreign policy. The Monroe Declaration promoted the bourgeois democratic republican ideology that opposed the feudal autocratic monarchy system in Europe. It objectively supported the independence of Latin American countries and prevented the ambitions of the British, French and Russian powers to expand their political and economic power and establish new colonies in the Americas. It has certain progressive significance.

However, under the guise of "America is for Americans," the Monroe Declaration was actually a declaration by the United States to establish its dominance in the Americas and compete with European powers for hegemony. With the development of American history, the Monroe Declaration, which once played a progressive role, became a tool for American aggression and expansion in the Americas. Under the banner of the Monroe Doctrine, the United States carried out crazy territorial expansion in the Americas. In the 1830s and 1840s, the United States captured Texas from Mexico; from 1842 to 1844, the United States squeezed the British out of Oregon; from 1846 to 1848, President Polk launched a war of aggression against Mexico and plundered all of Mexico. more than half of the territory.

From 1819 to 1853, the United States expanded its territory in North America to 1.3 million square miles through plunder, annexation, and cheap purchases, which was approximately 80% of the total land area of ​​the United States before 1819, including today's California, Nevada, Utah, and Large areas of land in 6 states: Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. By the mid-19th century, the territory of the United States had expanded from a narrow strip of 13 continents along the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific coast.

"Your country keeps saying that 'America is the America of the Americans', but it interferes in European affairs again and again; coupled with what your country does in South America, it is really disgusting; between us and Germany The cooperation was naturally achieved. We have done our best, if you don’t want to become prisoners of the Germans, then please leave Argentina as soon as possible."

I don’t know whether he was angry or angry, but Ambassador Stephen was trembling all over. "You will regret it!" After saying this harshly, he left angrily.

Back at the embassy, ​​Ambassador Stephen immediately informed the country of the situation, and then ordered his secretary to burn all documents.

"What? The Germans are going to land in Argentina?!" President Wilkie was shocked when he received the news. However, considering that there were many things that surprised them recently, they had to immediately convene a high-level meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Unfortunately, everyone couldn't come up with any countermeasures after discussing it for a long time.

The only good news is that Argentina is far away from the United States. Even if the Germans land in Argentina, they will have to cross the entire South America to reach the United States.

Beyond that, the rest is bad news. For example, because Argentina is far away from the United States, it is impossible for the United States to send troops in time to prevent the Germans from landing; and once the Germans establish a base in Argentina, the Cape Horn route will also fall into German hands, and the Pacific and Atlantic routes will be completely blocked. is cut off. If they had known that the Germans would invade South America, why would they have supported the Soviet Union? It would have been better to directly fight the Germans on the American continent.

"Damn it! That's too much!" Unfortunately, no matter how much President Wilkie cursed the Germans, it was of no avail.

"Where is the German fleet?" Although he knew there was nothing he could do, he still asked.

"This... is not clear yet. The Argentinians only said that the German fleet will arrive soon."

At this time, in a certain area of ​​the Pacific, a U.S. submarine accidentally discovered a German transport fleet.

"Oh God! How many ships are there?!" This was the first time he saw such a huge fleet. There seemed to be more than 200 ships. The densely packed ships covered the entire sea area, which was a spectacular sight. "Get ready to fight!" After just one glance, the captain immediately ordered, gearing up.

The German submarines of World War II in the original time and space were famous around the world as the "Wolf Pack", and they once caused great damage to British maritime transportation. However, throughout World War II, the performance of US submarines was not inferior.

During World War II, Germany built and put into service 1,150 submarines, 807 of which were sunk. German submarines sank 2,882 Allied ships, with a total tonnage of 14.4 million tons.

The United States participated in the war with 253 submarines, losing 52 and sinking 1,178 Japanese ships over 500 tons, including 4 aircraft carriers, 1 battleship, 12 cruisers, 42 destroyers, and 23 submarines, with a total tonnage of 5.32 million tons.

In World War II, the number of U.S. submarines was less than a quarter of the number of German submarines, but it achieved one-third of the results of German submarines. It can be said that U.S. submarines are more efficient in hunting and sneaking than German submarines. If the United States, like Germany, puts the construction of submarines as the highest priority, then submarines alone can completely strangle the island country.

However, today's American submarines have completely lagged behind Germany. Even for ordinary U-shaped submarines, Germany has implemented snorkels early and can sail underwater for a long time; not to mention that the German army has put various AIPs and even nuclear submarines into actual combat. , leading the United States in all aspects.
