The British had their strategic objectives in the La Plata region!
Looking at the confused staff, Zhu Xianhai explained.
"For example, between Argentina and Brazil, Britain's strategic goal is to keep these two powers at odds for a long time, so that it will be difficult for them to adopt unified policies and regulations towards Britain. And in the past few decades,
In order to maintain this balance, they first supported the independence of Uruguay, and then turned Uruguay into a "bait", and then used it to incite Brazil and Argentina to confront Paraguay. This was very beneficial to British capital, and the British could use it to oppose Paraguay.
Means financed by Brazil and Argentina to manipulate the economies of these two countries, thereby bringing them under their control, in order to gain a solid British position in South America, and then turn them into British economic colonies, which the British instigated
The purpose of the confrontation between South American countries is to maintain his traditional policy of "divide and rule."
The British tradition of stirring up trouble definitely has a history. They spread it from Europe to South America, and they planned it decades in advance. If they hadn't known, the war that would almost make Paraguay almost "annihilated" would happen two years later.
, Zhu Xianhai could not believe that from the day it supported Uruguay's independence in 1825, Britain became a piece of fat meat.
A provocation led to the death of hundreds of thousands of people in the four countries of La Plata!
Such advance planning makes people marvel at the foresight of the British.
After a pause, he walked to the map, pointed at Paraguay on the map and said.
"Now, Paraguay is moving closer to France and is seeking the support of the French emperor to dominate the La Plata region. The United Kingdom certainly does not want France to interfere in the affairs of this region. For this reason, a few years ago, the British Foreign Secretary Lord Russell also
I went to Paris to seek confirmation from the failed country, but what is certain is that due to Paraguay's resistance to Britain and the increasing complexity of the current problems in La Plata countries, in order to maximize its own interests and maintain the balance of power between Brazil and Argentina, Britain provoked La Plata.
Regarding the confrontation between the Plata countries, the UK absolutely does not want Miter to shift its attention to the south at this time, which will lead to the rise of Paraguay and thus destroy the regional balance of power. This is the fundamental reason for their interference!"
Listening to the Lord's analysis, Fang Zhanbo, Qian Deshan, Sun Muli and others were all dumbfounded, and Qian Deshan even murmured.
"This, this... the tactics of the Pre-Qin and Warring States periods in the history books are nothing more than this!"
It should be said that there are still quite a few gaps!
Staring at the map, Zhu Xianhai fell into deep thought. Decades ago, when the countries in La Plata became independent, the British started their layout. Now they are just closing the net. In the end, under their careful planning
Next, the "Paraguay War" became the end of this layout. Through this war, the British further strengthened their control over this region. Brazil and Argentina could never escape his control, especially Paraguay.
The La Plata strategy took the British nearly half a century to achieve success.
Then what?
Then there’s Nam Hwa!
Zhu Xianhai naturally thought of the war between South China and the allied forces of Argentina and Chile. At the end of that war, the British and even the Americans were dismissed. In the final analysis, it was not just because of skin color, but more importantly because of South China's influence on their lives in South America.
core interests!
This is the most critical factor!
this point is very important!
It was even something Zhu Xianhai ignored in the past.
"Damn Brit...he's the root of everything!"
The mastermind behind the scenes is British!
In the past, Zhu Xianhai always thought that Britain and the United States were only on the same side because of their skin color. They just did not tolerate the existence of Nanhua, a regime established by the yellow race, in this land.
But in fact, it was because Nanhua's development strategy conflicted with Britain's core interests.
For Nanhua, the current South American market is a blue ocean!
Because there is no industry at all in South America, until now, South American countries are still based on agriculture, plantations or mines. In that long-term simulation, Nanhua relied on its geographical advantages to develop import substitution industries and gradually replace "South America".
Imports from various countries”.
In this process, Zhu Xianhai ignored that there was one biggest obstacle to all this - the British!
Britain is now the world's factory. Many goods sold in the South American market are British goods.
When Nanhua's products entered South American countries, they directly competed with British products, which seemed a bit difficult.
But in fact, this was not a problem at all - the outbreak of the Civil War helped him solve this problem.
After the war broke out, with the interruption of southern cotton exports, the British textile industry fell into a cotton crisis. While cotton prices soared, a large number of cotton spinning factories stopped production or even closed down. Although British businessmen tried their best to buy cotton from India and even China, in fact,
Until the end of the Civil War, their demand for cotton was not met, and production was only 70% of pre-war levels.
What this means is that there is a 30% gap in the market that needs to be filled. Compared with other markets, the South American market is not important at all!
Not to mention competition, when the market was in short supply, the cotton cloth produced by Nanhua's textile mills was sold out as soon as it left the factory, but the price was still high.
For Nan Hua, this is simply a God-given opportunity!
Where did the cotton textile factory in Nanhua come from?
This is a war dividend - currently, a large number of textile factories in the UK are going bankrupt due to supply shortages of raw materials. Buffett is taking advantage of the opportunity in the UK to buy factories at the lowest price!
As for the ingredients!
That is cotton!
As a "partner" of the Confederacy, Nanhua's smuggling ships would load a large amount of cotton when smuggling arms back to the Confederacy. In addition, Nanhua's agricultural reclamation areas had already planted cotton on a large scale, so the issue of raw materials was certainly not a problem.
From 1862 to 1864, Nanhua's goods were continuously sold to various countries in South America during those two years, not only Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil in the La Plata region, but also Chile, Peru, Venezuela and other countries.
, even Mexico also produces a variety of Nanhua products.
With the end of the Civil War and the recovery of the British textile industry, competition between South China products and British products in all aspects was naturally inevitable.
It was from this time on that the British set their sights on Nanhua, and that troublemaker immediately began a series of their plans.
ten years!
After the British had painstakingly planned and even advanced for ten years, the war broke out!
Just as the British wish!
