This isolationist sentiment has become more and more popular in the United States as the U.S. economy recovers. In early 1936, the New York Times conducted a sample survey across the United States. The topic was: If there is another war in Europe or Asia, the United States will
Should the United States enter the war? The results of the survey are very one-sided. More than 96% of the American people oppose the United States' entry into the war.
They believe that it is far more cost-effective to use dollars to develop overseas markets than to use the lives of young Americans to develop overseas markets. As for the rhetoric of opening up a future living space for the American people, any American will spit in your face: We
There are still so many inhabited areas and forests in the continental United States that there are not enough people to live in your own home, so carve out some space for you to be a bear!
This kind of thinking of the American people has seriously affected the foreign policy decisions of the US government. Even an excellent leader like Roosevelt cannot go against the will of the people in the political system of the United States. Although the Roosevelt government included
Roosevelt himself was worried about the future situation, but the democratic legal system at this time became a stumbling block for them.
What the Roosevelt "government" is worried about is not the situation in Europe. Where there are those British politicians who are good at mediating, there will not be much change in a short time. Moreover, even if there is a war in Europe, for the United States, to be precise, for the United States,
America's big capitalists are not a bad thing.
Don’t forget how the United States surpassed the United Kingdom and became a world power. That was not because it took the opportunity to sell supplies and equipment to both warring parties in Europe for several years during World War I, and then made the most correct choice at the most critical moment, becoming a world power in one fell swoop.
The ultimate beneficiary of the war. If the damn South China Sea Federation hadn't joined in the fun, the United States would have made even more.
Speaking of the South China Sea Federation, this is the country that the U.S. government is most worried about. Ever since the two sides broke off after World War I, U.S. influence in Asia has been cleared away bit by bit by the South China Sea Federation. The most recent one is
The South China Sea Federation took advantage of the outbreak of the economic crisis to suddenly have a fierce fight with the "government" of the Republic of China. It not only returned the sovereignty of Taiwan Island, but also established a special economic zone on it.[
The South China Sea Federation relies on this special economic zone, using joint ventures or sole proprietorships, to sell federal products all over China. It uses federal technology and equipment, coupled with China's extremely cheap labor force. The products produced from this special economic zone are
The products produced are not only not inferior to European and American countries in terms of quality, but also far lower in price than similar products in European and American countries.
In addition, the national identities of the two countries, the South China Sea Federation and China, are very close, so in terms of culture and habits, the products designed and produced by the South China Sea Federation are far better than those designed and produced by Westerners.
It is more in line with the taste of the Chinese people. Just from the word mark, it can be said that the products of the Federation are Chinese products. They are more friendly.
The final manifestation of the concentration of these advantages is that the small market share of European and American countries in mainland China, which was originally squeezed out by the South China Sea Federation, was lost in an instant. Those European and American products that came all the way across the ocean were piled up in dock warehouses.
Besides being moldy inside, no one wants to sell junk.
The only remaining European and American businessmen and companies in China and East Asia had completely withdrawn from the East Asia and Chinese markets before 1933. The only ones that can compete with the South China Sea Federation here are India and the Soviet Union, and these two countries
It is also because it is close to the Chinese border and the traffic conditions there are very bad that it prevents the large-scale entry of those joint venture products.
However, this situation cannot last long. With the financial support of the special economic zones, the Republic of China government has begun to build a nationwide railway network. With the laying of railway tracks, joint venture products will enter remote mountainous areas and border areas.
No need to guess what the result will be when the time comes, it will be a one-sided ending.
What makes the U.S. government and even Western governments even more troublesome is that in addition to dominating Southeast Asia economically, the South China Sea Federation also vigorously excludes Western forces politically. It first defeated Japan supported by Britain, France, the United States and other countries, and
It successfully divided Japan into two de facto independent countries, leaving Western regimes unable to find a suitable and powerful foothold to penetrate into this region.
Then, the South China Sea Federation took advantage of Britain's eagerness to contain the Soviet Union and France, and forced the "government" of the Republic of China and the "government" of the United Kingdom to sit together, and took back the Chinese customs tariffs originally controlled by the United Kingdom to the Republic of China.
Since then, the "government" of the Republic of China has fully moved towards the South China Sea Federation, and the Western regime's only sense of presence and voice here has been lost.
Now the only thing that European and American countries can retain in Southeast Asia is their concessions and their extraterritorial rights in the concessions. However, as the economic interests of each country have decreased, there are no longer any foreign companies in the concessions, and the land prices in the concessions have plummeted.
Except for a few expatriates and embassies and consulates from various countries
After settling here, most of the concessions have gradually turned into ghost towns. Even if the "government" of the Republic of China does not propose to abolish the concessions, the "governments" of various countries have no interests to appeal here. Instead, they have become a burden for the "governments" of various countries.
, because it costs money to maintain security and garrison troops in the concession.
Seeing that the South China Sea Federation is slowly taking over East and South Asia and turning it into a monolithic operation, the US government and some US consortiums are unable to make any decisions that involve intervening in other countries or may lead to war.
Any exception will be vetoed in Congress, and the person or group who proposed this resolution will be scolded by major newspapers in the United States. This is not the worst result.
Because during the election season for congressmen and governors, the individuals or groups that had proposed such proposals would still lose most of their votes because of their political tendencies. The American people used practical actions to warn those restless militants:
Although we ordinary people have no right to control your thoughts, we do have the right not to vote for you. I don’t think you can be a member of the assembly or the governor. You will have to wait and see wherever you go.
In short, the U.S. "government" has been kidnapped by the suffering American people who have experienced World War I and the Great Depression. Apart from being able to show the style of this world power in South America, they have nothing to do with other world affairs.
Looking for the US "Government", now it is like a
For a man who is extremely afraid of his wife, if you ask him to go out for dinner and drinks in the evening, you are not taking care of him, but hurting him, because he needs to report his movements to his wife and will not come back from get off work on time. I live my own life and dare to go out and drink heavily. This is the rhythm of going home and kneeling.
In addition to the old powers such as Britain, France and the United States, Liu Fu is also paying attention to three other countries, namely Germany, the Soviet Union and the heterogeneous army.
Paying attention to Germany and the heterogeneous columns should be Liu Fu's essential job, because the South China Sea Federation has invested a lot of financial, material and manpower in these two countries, and he also counts on these two countries in future wars.
Becoming the biggest boost to the South China Sea Federation. But what should the Soviet Union pay attention to? From a geographical point of view and the relationship between the two sides, the Soviet Union and the South China Sea Federation at this time were basically incomparable. They were far away and remote and did not have a common language.
Since the Red Revolution, in order to consolidate its revolutionary achievements and resist interference from the West, the Soviet Union has begun to shrink its sphere of influence in Europe. After successfully defeating domestic armed forces and armed intervention by the Allied Powers, the Soviet Union has also suffered a lot.
The damage was caused, the most severe of which was the loss of part of the territory of the Russian period.
After Lenin died and Stalin came to power, the Soviet Union began to devote all its energy to domestic construction and achieved great results. In 1936, the Soviet Union's gross industrial production was comparable to Germany, but the domestic people's lives
level is still significantly lower than that of European countries.
When Hitler came to power, Germany also rose rapidly. Due to the territorial border between the Soviet Union and Germany, Stalin had to re-examine the foreign policy between the Soviet Union and Germany, because the only political party in Germany led by Hitler, the National Socialist Party, was a communist party.
, so fundamentally speaking, there will definitely be a conflict between the Soviet Union and Germany. (To be continued...)
