So, when he heard what Chukir said, Rosford didn’t feel curious at all. He just wanted the other party to speak quickly and fart quickly!
“Mr. Chukir, if you don’t cherish this opportunity, then please leave here. I don’t know if we have any problems, but I know that you, the British Empire, are in trouble, and it’s a big trouble!”
Seeing that Roosevelt had a bad tone and even threatened him, Chukir was shocked and realized that he seemed to be messing up!
So, he didn’t dare to show off anymore, and hurriedly said:”Mr. President, to be honest, I think these advantages of your country are indeed very prominent, and there is really no country around your country that can pose a threat to you!”
After hearing what Chukir said, Roosevelt’s face looked a little better.
This guy finally started to speak human words. If he continued to talk nonsense like before, Roosevelt would really have no time to accompany him to continue to tossing!
“What is the fatal threat you just mentioned? Mr. Chukil didn’t say it deliberately to attract my attention, did he?”
Chukil’s old face turned red. He was a little embarrassed that his thoughts were seen through by the other party.
However, he was thick-skinned and quickly adjusted his mentality. He said seriously:”Of course not. We, the British Empire, have a deep friendship with your country. Ten years ago, we fought side by side in Europe and defeated the provocation of the Hans together. The interests of our two countries have always been highly consistent!”
After saying all this nonsense, Chukil glanced at President Roosevelt’s expression. After finding that the other party’s expression showed a tendency to get angry, he was convinced that it was useless to play such an emotional card with the other party. Roosevelt was not as easy to fool as President Harding!
If he couldn’t come up with something he really cared about, then I’m afraid this meeting would end in vain!
So he took a deep breath and finally became serious:”Mr. President, to be honest, I think your country’s biggest weakness is the lack of neighbors!”
As soon as these words came out, Chukir noticed that President Roosevelt’s face changed slightly. Obviously, his words touched his heart!
Encouraged by this, Chukir continued to work hard and continued:”North America’s location is indeed unique, but the area of North America is not large, and apart from the Maple Leaf Country in the north, the land in the south is only about 1.3 million square kilometers. Even if South America in the south is included, the area is smaller than Asia and Europe!”
This is indeed a fact. Roosevelt’s expression did not change after hearing it.
Seeing this, Chukir had to continue: There are not many countries in North and South America, and the population is even smaller. Small population and small land means a small market, and your country is the largest industrial country in the world, and a large number of industrial products are sold all over the world. Relying solely on the markets of your own country and South America cannot support your country’s factories and 100 million people!”
This sentence really hit the point, so after Roosevelt heard it, he nodded, which was rare, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chukir also changed a little, and he no longer regarded the other party as a charlatan!
The Eagle Sauce people had not noticed the problem that Chukir mentioned, but this time the world economic crisis caused countries to raise tariffs one after another, making it difficult for the Eagle Sauce products to be sold.
The large backlog of products made their factories unprofitable, and they were forced to suspend production, lay off employees and close down.
The suspension of production and even the closure of a large number of factories caused workers to lose their jobs.
The domestic unemployment rate has remained high, and the economy has never improved!
The reason is that the market is too small and they have not been able to obtain a huge market for them to dump their goods!
Therefore, the Eagle Sauce has been trying hard to expand the sales market for their products. They are mainly targeting three markets: the Celestial Empire in the Far East, Hans in Europe and the colonies on which the sun never sets, mainly in Africa and South Asia!
These three markets have one thing in common, that is, they have a large population!
The population of Europe at this time exceeded 500 million, and Hans alone had more than 85 million people. Together with Gaul, Benelux, Norway, Fairyland and Poland controlled by Hans, as well as Hans’ vassal states, the three Baltic countries, Hungary, and Bulgaria, the population of the area controlled by Hans has exceeded 170 million!
Although the population of 170 million is not as large as that of South Asia and the Celestial Empire, the economy of Hans and the areas they occupied is more developed, and the pockets of the people are much more bulging than those of South Asia and the Celestial Empire, so their purchasing power is also stronger. Therefore, for the Eagle Sauce, the European market is more important!
Therefore, after Roosevelt took office, he immediately visited Hans. He obviously hoped to maintain a relationship with Hans to see if he could get a share of Hans’ spoils and dump more products into Hans and their occupied areas!
If the dumping is successful, the unsalable situation of Eagle Sauce’s products can be greatly improved!
As for the two markets of South Asia and the Celestial Empire, Eagle Sauce also attaches great importance to them, but the competition in these two markets is very fierce.
The Celestial Empire has always been a place where the great powers compete for each other. In addition, the foot basin is now invading here militarily, which has destroyed the business environment here. The market was not big to begin with, and it was divided up by many countries. At this time, it was affected by the war, and the market was even more sluggish. Therefore, the sales of Eagle Sauce here not only did not increase, but also decreased.
When Eagle Sauce thought of this, he got angry. This guy, the foot basin, not only competed with him for the Hawaiian Islands and a series of islands in the central Pacific Ocean!
They also wanted to drive Eagle Sauce’s power out of the Far East, or at least drive Eagle Sauce’s sphere of influence out of the Celestial Empire. This was intolerable for Eagle Sauce!
Their patience with the foot basin has reached its limit!
The last one is the South Asian and African markets. This is the traditional sphere of influence of the British Empire and the Gauls. Especially the British Empire, most of the colonies they control are here, and they regard the market here as their own forbidden food. They sent out foreign goods and only sold their own goods alone, that is, they ate alone!
If they can give up these markets, then the unsalable products of Eagle Sauce can be greatly alleviated!
“But what does this have to do with what you said, that we have a fatal weakness?”
