On July 20, before the "Liberty" arrived in Walvis Bay, southern African newspapers had already begun to hype the atrocities committed by the US military in Brazil.
I don’t know since when, the media in southern Africa have intentionally or unintentionally written about some of the dark sides of the United States, from the massacre of Indians during the United States’ westward expansion to the introduction of the influenza pandemic to Europe during the First World War.
During the economic crisis, American farmers would rather pour milk into the river than give it to those in need. The image of the United States in southern Africa has hit rock bottom.
If we talk about the previous propaganda, southern Africans still watch the melon eating with the mentality of watching the excitement.
Well, since the economic crisis broke out, what the United States did in Brazil has completely angered southern Africans.
Although the League of Nations investigation team's fact-finding investigation into Macae has not yet concluded, almost everyone in southern Africa believes that the Macae massacre was perpetrated by the Brazilian military government with behind-the-scenes support from the United States.
Why?
Because Americans have criminal records!
This is not the first time the United States has opened fire on civilian ships!
Although each time the Americans were disgraced, southern Africans were still filled with indignation. Why can Americans be so tyrannical around the world?
Why can’t civilian ships in southern Africa sail in public waters?
Why hasn’t the federal government of Southern Africa started a war against the United States?
That's right. The reason why Southern Africa wants to create an image of a victim is to conform to public opinion at an appropriate time.
Everything must be done with a teacher's reputation.
On July 21, Young Smith once again summoned Stimson, the U.S. Ambassador to South Africa, to express his strongest protest to Stimson.
"I don't know if the 'Resolution' opened fire on the 'Liberty'. I only know that the 'Liberty' is safe and is sailing to Whale Bay, while the 'Resolution' has sunk to the bottom. Washington is dealing with this matter.
If Southern Africa is not deeply involved in the war, why do the Brazilians have submarines?" Stimson was also furious. Southern Africa was a victim every time, but every time it was
The ships that were sunk all belonged to the US-Pakistan coalition. Who is the victim?
"How the hell do I know how the Brazilians have submarines? Also, how do you know about the relevant situation? Do you still have a way to contact Washington?" Yang Smozi was curious. The U.S. Embassy has been closed, and the embassy staff have also
They are all under house arrest and are said to be unable to communicate with the outside world.
"Don't you ever read newspapers?" Stimson roared angrily, and Yang Smith was stunned. It turned out that there really was a "ghost" inside.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on newspaper editors and media people in southern Africa, who have no bottom line when it comes to ridiculing the United States. The explosion of an ammunition depot on a U.S. Navy warship happened to be a mistake, and of course it deserves a big book.
"You should be grateful for the ammunition depot of the 'Resolution', otherwise the anger of 100 million southern Africans will be waiting to greet you!" When Yang Smozi said the figure of 100 million, he was really ambitious.
.
Just now, the total population of southern Africa exceeded 100 million for an unprecedented time, reaching 101.46 million.
This number is still slightly small for the United States, whose population exceeded 130 million last year.
But we must know that Southern Africa had less than 2 million people 30 years ago. By comparison, the population growth rate in Southern Africa cannot be described as "explosive growth", but should be described as "fission growth."
Corresponding to the population is the economy. Last year, the economic growth rate of Southern Africa was 6.5%. This year, it may be around 6%. Although the growth rate has slowed down, considering the economic foundation of Southern Africa, the absolute growth rate is
Still ranked among the best among all countries.
"What's the difference between now and a real declaration of war? Can you be more sincere and stop being so hypocritical!" Stimson's eyes were full of disgust, which probably meant that although the United States is a real villain, you in southern Africa are hypocrites, too.
Not much better.
"Declare war! Haha, okay, I will give you the opportunity now to return to Washington to discuss with President Roosevelt. If you want to declare war, then declare war!" Yang Shimozi took the initiative to release people, but always held them captive.
It's not a problem either.
"Really?" Stimson was surprised.
"Really!" Yang Shimozi said decisively.
Later, the federal government of Southern Africa announced the recall of the Southern African ambassador to the United States and the repatriation of all staff of the U.S. embassy in South Africa.
Recalling an ambassador is usually considered a precursor to a declaration of war.
Of course, this is not necessarily the case. Sometimes this is also one of the diplomatic methods, and the attitude is expressed by recalling the ambassador.
When the news reached Washington, Whitehall was tense.
Ever since the Brazilian military government moved the capital, Roosevelt was under tremendous pressure.
War is indeed the best way to divert domestic conflicts, but the prerequisite is that the war can be won. If the war cannot be won, not only will the domestic conflicts not be alleviated, but new problems will arise.
Even the American media now has to admit that the Brazilian military government cannot afford to support it. In the early days, when it had all the advantages, the Brazilian military government was beaten by the Mizhou Army and was forced to move the capital. Now the Mizhou Army
Occupying almost all the best areas of Brazil, the military government was driven to St. Louis. So, does the military government still have the ability to make a comeback?
I'm afraid it's difficult.
Almost all of Brazil’s best areas are in the southeast, with Rio, Sao Paulo, Mizuno, and Santa Claus combined accounting for more than 60% of Brazil’s total population and economic output.
The several states currently under the control of the military government are not even comparable to the state of Mizhou, and even the state of Sao Paulo. Why should the military government make a comeback?
Just now, the state of Sao Paulo announced its support for Brazil's new government and its support of Vargas as president of the new government.
After the Mizhou Army occupied Rio, the U.S.-Pakistani coalition retreated from the Rio front line.
Now the Victoria Army also began to counterattack against the U.S.-Pakistan coalition forces. The defense line of the U.S.-Pakistan coalition forces was crumbling. George Marshall was unable to turn the tide. He sent three telegrams to Washington in two days, hoping that Washington could send more troops to Brazil.
"General Marshall definitely has the ability. The reason why we are at this point is mainly because the situation in Brazil is too complicated and there is not enough time left for General Michel -" Hurley felt as if he had eaten a fly.
Grit your teeth and defend George Marshall.
What else could happen? George Marshall was appointed by Hurley. If George Marshall was not capable enough, would Hurley, the Secretary of War, or MacArthur, the Chief of Staff, have to go to Brazil?
If it were Hurley or MacArthur, let alone whether they could successfully defeat the Mizhou Army - no, it should be the new government army now. Even if they could defeat it, there would be no honor for Hurley and MacArthur.
In other words, if you win, it's normal, but if you lose -
Then there is really no way out.
"Let's not talk about Brazil now. Southern Africa has decided to recall its ambassador. What should we do?" Roosevelt looked haggard. Only now did he truly understand the pain of being the president of the United States.
The President of the United States has never been the master of the United States, but is only the spokesperson of power promoted by relevant interest groups.
When he first took office as President of the United States, Roosevelt Jr. once won more than 80% of the domestic support rate in the United States due to his outstanding performance in responding to the economic crisis.
How to put it, 80% is indeed good, but due to the lack of reference data, this number does not seem so amazing.
The United States has just begun to collect statistics on support this year.
For comparison, when Roque became Prime Minister of Southern Africa, his approval rate never fell below 80% from the first day. After Pretoria successfully hosted the Olympic Games, Roque's approval rate reached an astonishing 9%
Thirteen.
Therefore, in recent years, although the Prime Minister of Southern Africa has also been elected through elections, Roque's foundation in Southern Africa cannot be shaken. In the last general election in Southern Africa, the other two candidates knew they were defeated on the eve of the election and both withdrew.
Time is cited as a good story.
The pain of the American president lies in the constraints of power.
Roosevelt himself did not support targeting the Iron Four from the beginning.
Before the discovery of Iron Square, no U.S. steel companies complained about the insufficient grade of iron ore in the U.S., and the U.S. still became the country with the highest steel production in the world.
If it was not the Southern African companies that discovered the Iron Square, but the American steel companies that discovered the Iron Square, then there is no doubt that Roosevelt would do his best to protect the interests of the American steel companies.
Now that U.S. steel companies are trying to plunder the interests of the Iron Four, is the federal government of Southern Africa easy to mess with?
Deserve it!
So there was sadness in Roosevelt's eyes, but also a hint of joy that no one thought was noticeable.
Capital will eventually pay the price for its greed.
"Southern Africa refused to sit down and negotiate with us. We have expressed goodwill to Southern Africa through Krupp, but we have not received the response we deserve." Secretary of State Hull's expression was solemn. When Southern Africa refused to negotiate, Hull realized
Big trouble.
"If we were southern Africans, we would not agree." Roosevelt was not angry. Americans simply lacked the empathy to put themselves in someone else's shoes.
"We can only go all out to win the war now, otherwise we will lose everything." MacArthur's attitude was firm. From the Philippines to Brazil, MacArthur felt more and more deeply about the threats in southern Africa.
"Then how should we go all out and carry out a national mobilization for Brazil?" The disappointment on Roosevelt's face flashed away. Everyone knows that we should go all out, even if it comes naturally, it should be done after going all out.
Face it calmly instead of lying down and doing nothing.
"It's not impossible!" MacArthur, the wolf killer, really showed his fangs.
