026sHans actually asked the Eagle Sauce to fulfill their responsibilities as allies, but after discussing Hans’s request, the Eagle Sauce people felt that this was not the best time for them to intervene in the European war, so they chose to use the tactic of procrastination to deal with Hans.
On the one hand, they promised that they would strictly fulfill the responsibilities and obligations stipulated in the alliance between the two countries, and on the other hand, they used the unstable situation in their own country, the deteriorating economic situation, and social unrest as excuses to delay the time of sending troops to participate in the war!
“Your Excellency, Lord Wu, please give me and my country an exact date. When will your country be able to prepare for war, declare war on the British Empire, and then go around the world to fight against the British Empire’s navy?”
Representative Hans refused to give in and insisted that the Eagle Sauce people make a clear statement!
This is very important for Hans!
Ambassador Hans forced the Eagle Sauce Minister of National Martial Arts Frank into a sweat.
According to the terms of the treaty between the two countries, when the British Empire and Gaul declared war on Hans, the Eagle Sauce should immediately declare war on the two countries, but they did not do so, which in fact violated the treaty signed by the two countries.
In this matter, the Eagle Sauce was wrong first, so it is difficult to stand up morally, which also made the Eagle Sauce Minister of National Martial Arts evasive in the face of the questions of Representative Hans and dared not answer directly!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to answer, but that he can’t answer it at all!
Although Frank is the Eagle Sauce Minister of National Martial Arts and the third most powerful person in the Eagle Sauce country.
However, declaring war on you, the world hegemon and the old European power, is not something that he, a Minister of National Martial Arts, can make the final decision. Not to mention him, even President Harding himself finds it difficult to be autocratic and arbitrary.
They need the deliberation and approval of Congress, otherwise, they can’t declare war at all!
“I will truthfully reflect your country’s wishes to the president and members of Congress, and will give you a response in the shortest possible time!”
Frank Guowu Qing wiped the cold sweat from his head. After saying this, he did not dare to keep Hans’ ambassador and hurriedly asked his men to send him away!
After sending Hans’ ambassador away, Frank Guowu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Damn it! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have formed an alliance with the other party. Why did I sign this treaty that would drag the entire Eagle Sauce into a world war?”
Although Frank Guowuqing was appointed and promoted by President Harding himself, he did not have much good feelings for the president who promoted him, especially after seeing too many of President Harding’s weird actions, he was even more disappointed with President Harding!
For Frank, he now hopes that in the upcoming election, someone can defeat President Harding and move into the White House, so that the entire Eagle Sauce will not fall into chaos and passivity in the big strategy like it is now. However
, it is so difficult to re-elect a good president! It is difficult to have a president like President Will who has an international vision, a global strategic view and a big picture view in a hundred years!
Frank shook his head and went to the White House with a heavy heart. He also had to report the Hans’s request to President Harding. He didn’t know what stupid decision this guy would make this time!
……
President Harding had never thought about this question before. He was stunned after hearing what Frank said.
He looked at his chief of staff and asked.
The chief of staff couldn’t help rolling his eyes when he heard what his president said, and then answered without thinking:”Yes, the treaty signed by the two countries stipulates that if either party is invaded by the United States, the other party is obliged to send troops to participate in the war to protect the safety of the ally!” After hearing the words of the chief of staff, President Harding’s expression was a little unhappy.
“Why didn’t you remind me when you signed these treaties? Why did you have to add such a clause that is obviously disadvantageous to us to the covenant?”
The chief of staff was very angry when he heard President Harding’s words.
“Mr. President, you personally instructed that this clause must be included. Have you forgotten it?”
President Harding looked a little stunned.”What? I asked to include it? That’s impossible. Why would I do this?” The
Chief of Staff thought to himself, who knows why you would do this? You must be crazy to do this.
“I don’t know, but maybe it’s because you wanted to use Hans to fight against the British Empire and Gaul. In order to increase Hans’ determination to fight against the two countries, you added such a clause to make the Hans feel our full support for them. Only in this way will they dare to fight against our common enemy, the British Empire!”
The chief of staff’s analysis made sense, and President Harding nodded.
“I never thought I was so far-sighted and made such a wise decision!”
When he thought of this, he felt that this strategy was very successful. After getting the support of the Eagle Sauce, Hans has successfully provoked a war with the British Empire, right?
Doesn’t this prove that the inclusion of this clause was very worthwhile!
“In terms of results, our strategy of instigating Hans to be the first to challenge the British Empire was successful, but now we are in a dilemma. That is, how should we respond to Hans’s request? Do we really have to declare war on the British Empire according to the treaty?”
Frank Guowu couldn’t stand it anymore. Isn’t President Harding too narcissistic?
It was obviously an imminent bad thing, but when it came to him, it became a good thing for him to sing praises!
“Since we promised the Hans, shouldn’t we just fulfill our obligations? Is there anything else to discuss?”
President Harding became like an idiot and suddenly said something very idiotic.
Frank Guowuqing and the White House Chief of Staff looked at each other, and both of them looked a little desperate!
To have such a weird leader and to work under such a person, it really feels like life is worse than death!
“There is certainly no problem in fulfilling the covenant, but the key question is, is it beneficial to our own interests to do so?”
Frank said seriously. He hoped that through his serious words, President Harding would realize the seriousness of the matter and stop treating it with such a casual attitude!
War is not something he can start with just his mouth. War involves many fields such as military, politics, and economy. They need to make long-term and extensive preparations in advance!
And now, the Eagle Sauce is at most prepared to go to war with the Maple Leaf Country in the north, and is not prepared to go to war with the British mainland. Without being prepared for war, hastily going to war will only make themselves passively enter into a military adventure, and it is the kind of adventure with a very low chance of winning!
Moreover, even if they win this battle by chance, because they have not made corresponding preparations in advance, how will they deal with the British mainland after winning, and how will they take over? How to manage the world order and maintain and guarantee their own interests around the world, all of these require a lot of advance preparation!
The workload of this kind of thing is absolutely huge. Originally in history, it took the Eagle Sauce decades to establish its dominant position in the world and gain hegemony over the entire world. Then, through decades of cold war with the Russian Bear, it consolidated and maintained its hegemony bit by bit!
This is why they became the world hegemon who commands the world and dominates the world after the collapse of the Russian Bear!
President Harding felt a headache after thinking about such a complicated problem.
