: 0.092s Scan: 0.114sAfter the invitation letter from Samba was sent out, the reactions of the South American countries were different.
Argentina and Colombia, which did not get along well with Samba, were a little unhappy. They did not want Samba to become the leader of South America, nor did they want to accept the leadership or even instructions of Samba in the future.
However, Samba occupied the righteousness at this time. They called on the South American countries to unite and jointly decide their own destiny. This naturally scratched the itch of other small countries that had no intention of competing for hegemony in South America.
These small countries are weak. Facing the war of the world’s powers, they are walking on thin ice and are terrified!
At this time, their most urgent need is to find a strong backer to support and protect themselves!
And Samba stood up and advocated that the South American countries unite, unite against the outside world, and protect themselves together. This concept is still very attractive to these small countries.
In this case, it is almost certain that���After receiving the invitation from Samba, there will be many small countries scrambling to go to Samba to participate in this South American Conference.
If everyone goes to participate, Argentina and Colombia will appear to be a bit unsociable and ignorant of the general situation, which will obviously have a very adverse impact on their national image.
In fact, they can also initiate a call by themselves, hold a separate conference, and invite other countries to participate in the conference. Once they obtain the favorable position of host and host country, they can establish their impression of being the leader in the minds of other countries.
However, international politics is based on strength. Although these two countries are relatively powerful countries in South America, there is still a big gap between them and Samba. Samba’s comprehensive national strength is indeed the boss of South America, which even Argentina and Colombia have to admit.
So even if they are reluctant, Argentina and Colombia have to accept the invitation and prepare to go to Samba to attend this meeting.
However, just when Colombia was about to leave, news came from Europe.
The Third Reich sent them a telegram, expressing its willingness to enhance friendship with Colombia, establish economic and military cooperation, and expand the relationship between the two countries to a comprehensive strategic partnership!
This title was jointly created by the General Staff of the Third Reich and the Ministry of Foreign Education, and is a strategic positioning for other countries’ relations with the Third Reich.
A comprehensive strategic partnership is basically equivalent to a quasi-alliance. The relationship between the two sides is just a piece of covenant. If such a relationship is really concluded with the Third Reich, then Colombia will definitely receive a lot of assistance from Europe!
Whether it is economic cooperation or military cooperation, it is a good thing for Colombia that can only be encountered but not expected!
The only thing to worry about is whether the Third Reich
‘s statement is perfunctory or serious? Miguel S, the president of Colombia, is a qualified politician. After receiving the telegram from the Third Reich, he immediately thought of the upcoming South American Conference.
They just received the invitation from the Samba country, and then they flirted with them. If there is no relationship between the two, then it’s over!
President Mendes thought for a while and immediately figured it out.
The Third Reich must not want to see Samba dominate South America and become the hegemon of South America, so it hopes to use their power to support them to confront Samba. In this way, South America cannot be easily integrated, and there may even be a split situation where two powerful countries compete against each other.
A divided South America with internal contradictions is obviously more beneficial to the Third Reich than a solid South America.
Therefore, the Third Reich is actually still using them and using their cooperation to achieve its own goals.
Although I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart after thinking about this matter, no one will be happy to be used by others.
However, Mendes is a rational person. He knows very well that for a small country, it is not a shameful thing to be used by a big country, especially a superpower at the level of world hegemony. On the contrary, being favored by a superpower means that they are worth being used!
Moreover, although the Third Reich has its own intentions to use them, Colombia can also use cooperation with the Third Reich to help itself achieve its desired goals!
This is actually a mutually beneficial situation!
Unless Colombia is willing to accept the leadership of Samba, otherwise, it is actually more beneficial for them to cooperate with the powerful Third Reich!
After understanding this, Mendes is not opposed to cooperation.
However, it is not easy for him to accept cooperation with the Third Reich immediately, because the Third Reich is just talking nonsense and shouting a slogan, and has not come up with anything practical. It is just talking nonsense and making promises without any basis, which is obviously not enough to impress them! However
, just when he thought that the Third Reich was just talking nonsense, another news came from Europe: Ribbentrop, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Third Reich, has set off on an airship and is expected to arrive in South America in a day and a half. He will visit many countries in South America, and the first stop of the visit is their Colombia!
This news shocked Mendes for a while!
The speed of the Third Reich’s action greatly exceeded his expectations.
At this time, the mode of transportation between Europe and South America is sea shipping. The distance between the two places is more than 10,000 kilometers. It takes about 20 days to arrive by boat!
Such a long time made it inconvenient for the two sides to communicate with each other. He originally estimated that after the Third Reich’s telegram was sent, even if the Third Reich was willing to send diplomats to further discuss the details of the cooperation, it would take at least half a month or even a month.
But he never expected that the Third Reich would come in such a way and at such a speed!
“Is this the way the Celestial Empire communicates? It’s really eye-opening!”
A few years ago, before the outbreak of the World War, the Third Reich briefly opened an air route to North America, and this route was made up of airships.
The aircraft technology of this era was still relatively backward, and no country had developed large passenger planes and transport planes that could fly more than 8,000 kilometers one way, which meant that it was very difficult to fly directly from Europe to North America.
As for South America, which was farther away, it was even more impossible.
However, the emergence of airships broke this convention. Airships that did not require much fuel did not need to burn a lot of fuel like airplanes, which meant that their flight distance could be infinite. Therefore, it was not impossible for airships to fly across the ocean to another distant continent!
