Czech Republic was destroyed, the British Empire changed its prime minister, Bohemia was restored, Snowflake was founded…
The year 192 had just begun, and the situation in Europe, especially in Central Europe, had undergone earth-shaking changes, which made people dazzled and overwhelmed!
“The British Empire finally backed down and didn’t fight. What a pity!”
North America, Washington.
President Harding felt very sorry that there was no large-scale war between the Eagle Sauce and Hans. Originally, in his plan, if a war broke out between the two countries and the fight was difficult to resolve, then he would march north and take the opportunity to resolve the threat of the Maple Leaf Country in the north!
After the British Empire sent 2 million young and middle-aged laborers to the Maple Leaf Country, the strength of the Maple Leaf Country has been greatly enhanced. At present, many new factories have appeared, and these young and middle-aged people have been absorbed into the militia organization. After work every day, they will undergo military training, as if they are ready to fight on the front line at any time!
Although compared with the Eagle Sauce’s population of more than 100 million, even if the Maple Leaf Country has obtained these 200,000 young and middle-aged people, their population is still insufficient, so if a real fight happens, the Maple Leaf Country has no chance of winning at all, and the Eagle Sauce will definitely have the last laugh!
However, the Eagle Sauce people themselves have developed from a population of only a few million to more than 100 million now. They know very well that the Maple Leaf Country has a very vast land. Even if the northern There are at least millions of arable lands in the frozen land areas that are not suitable for farming!
So as long as the Maple Leaf Country is given enough population to develop, the Maple Leaf Country will develop and utilize these lands, and then they will be the next Eagle Sauce, and their population will sooner or later develop to the level of the Eagle Sauce. At that time, they will be the biggest threat to the Eagle Sauce!
It is precisely because of this worry that the entire Eagle Sauce is extremely vigilant about this weak neighbor in the north. As soon as there is any disturbance in the Maple Leaf Country, they are all very nervous!
The Eagle Sauce is not afraid of the current Maple Leaf Country. What they are afraid of is that the Maple Leaf Country will not be subject to any restrictions and will develop rapidly!
This economic crisis has led to a large number of unemployed people in the Eagle Sauce country, and these unemployed people have given him sufficient soldiers to expand his army.
After the scale of the army expanded, President Harding felt confident, so President Harding has been looking for opportunities to use force against the north.
Unfortunately, he has never found an opportunity!
“Yes, it’s a pity that no war broke out. However, could it be that our statement scared the British Empire, so they dared not go to war with Hans?”
Guo Wuqing also felt it was a pity. After losing this opportunity, it would be difficult to take action against the Maple Leaf Country!
When the Sun Never Sets is not restrained by other enemies, they are capable of mobilizing the forces of all their colonies around the world to support the Maple Leaf Country and fight to the death with the Eagle Sauce!
The main cities of the Eagle Sauce at this time are concentrated in the northeastern coastal area near the Maple Leaf Country, which is the earliest thirteen independent states.
If they cannot defeat the Maple Leaf Country in one go, then the reinforcements of the Sun Never Sets people will arrive, and it is very likely that the war will spread to their own territory!
There are a large number of factories in the five regions bordering the Eagle Sauce and the Maple Leaf Country, and there is also a large population in the northeastern region.
If the war spreads to their own territory, it will inevitably cause great damage to the industrial bases in other regions.
The industrial strength of the Eagle Sauce is indeed very strong, but their heavy industry is concentrated in the Great Lakes and the northeastern region.
Once this place is destroyed, the industrial strength of Japan will suddenly drop a level!
Will they be able to defeat the mobilized Sun Never Sets by then ? , it’s hard to say!
It is precisely because the construction area of their own country is too close to the border of the Maple Leaf Country, so the Eagle Sauce people have always been wary of the Maple Leaf Country in their hearts, and have always felt that the Maple Leaf Country is a huge threat to them!
Although they have advantages over the British Empire in population, industrial strength and economic strength, the British Empire has an advantage over them that they don’t have!
The British Empire has a huge stronghold next to them-the Maple Leaf Country. The British Empire can use this stronghold as a springboard at any time to attack the Eagle Sauce to the south, and the Eagle Sauce has no colonies of its own in Europe. It is very difficult for them to attack the British Empire, and it is almost impossible!
What’s more, the British Empire has a large number of colonies all over the world, and there are hundreds of millions of people in the colonies. If a fight really breaks out, the British Empire can mobilize the manpower and material resources of all colonies and invest in this war together. This is an ability that the Eagle Sauce does not have!
Therefore, the Eagle Sauce cannot have a direct conflict with the British Empire for the time being, especially when no one helps!
“”Well, it’s very likely!”
President Harding nodded and felt a little regretful. His previous statement was intended to make Hans worry-free and then boldly go to war with the British Empire.
But he didn’t expect that Hans’ attitude would be so tough. He directly submitted an ultimatum and used the tough means of threatening war to force the British Empire to give in at the last minute!
“Mainz, this guy, is so bold at such a young age. Isn’t he worried that his threat of war will not work and will actually cause a war?”
President Harding thought that Mainz was very courageous, but he did not approve of his behavior, because in his opinion, if Mainz failed this time, there would be another world war. If there was another world war, could Hans really win?
If they lost, everything they had now would vanish in the blink of an eye. At that time, Hans’s end would definitely be more miserable than that of the First World War, and even the country of Hans might not exist!
“He must have been gambling, but this guy was lucky, he actually won the bet!”
Guo Wuqing also felt that the Hans were lucky, and they actually made the British Empire give in!
Speaking of which, since the British Empire ascended to the position of world hegemony, it has never given in to any country, right?
“However, although we failed to successfully provoke a war between Hans and the British Empire, it is not completely without gain for us. At least, we made the British Empire lose a lot of popular support, and the attitudes of other countries towards them are probably not as good as before!”
“That’s right, their prestige as the world hegemon will definitely shrink significantly after this incident, which is a good opportunity for us!”
President Harding said seriously, and the Secretary of State looked at him in surprise. In his eyes, President Harding has always been a very conservative person. He has repeatedly opposed or even rejected the expansion of the navy, causing the naval development of the Eagle Sauce to stagnate.
Guo Wuqing originally thought that during the term of President Harding, the Eagle Sauce’s global strategy would definitely reach a low point, but he did not expect that President Harding would change his nature and he actually wanted to expand outward!
This is really the sun rising from the west!
“President, what are you going to do?”
Guo Wuqing asked expectantly. He really wanted to know what President Harding was thinking right now!
“Africa and South Asia are basically the territories of the United States, and it is difficult for us to intervene here. The situation in Europe is complicated and we cannot enter it, so our stage should be in East Asia and the Middle East!”
President Harding’s mind is very clear. He avoided several traditional spheres of influence of the United States and aimed at the power vacuum zone of the United States!
“In East Asia, there is only one country that has not been divided, and that is the Celestial Empire!
The Celestial Empire is vast and has a large population. It is not easy to occupy and colonize here, and we are too far away. It will inevitably cost a lot to control and occupy here. In addition, the Foot Basin people launched an invasion war here, so we can do the opposite. We don’t invade, we can support the Celestial Empire, export our system to the Celestial Empire, and make the Celestial Empire a country close to us!”
Guo Wuqing nodded repeatedly. The Celestial Empire is big but not strong, but it has great potential. If the Celestial Empire can be won over, then the Eagle Sauce’s products will have a huge market, and it can also prevent the expansion of the Foot Basin and the Sun Never Sets. This strategic fulcrum is very well chosen!
