But Xu Zengliang's advantage is also his disadvantage. Being from the Ministry of Internal Affairs may make many federal officials and people disgusted. Being a spy or an agent sounds very powerful, but in the eyes of most ordinary people
, all have some diaphragm effects.
Sandro's advantage lies in his family's power and connections in the Federation, as well as his background. He was raised by Liu Fu since he was a child, and his relationship with Liu Fu is even better than his relationship with his profiteer father. Moreover,
He worked his way from a low-level officer in the federal navy to the position of federal minister of defense step by step. He participated in the Anglo-American South China Sea War, fought bravely, and won the federal hero medal. He has a very high reputation in the military circles, especially within the navy.
Similarly, Sandro's advantage is also his disadvantage. His family has deep influence and connections, but he is a descendant of British descent. Although there is no distinction between race and place of origin in the Federation, this kind of education has only lasted for 30 years.
For many years, there are still many federal citizens aged around 50 who attach great importance to this issue in their hearts, especially among the Chinese. The saying "people who are not my race must have different hearts" is the biggest obstacle to Sandro's further progress.
Regarding the analysis of the candidates, countries around the world basically agree with the candidates within the federation. Since these main leaders of the South China Sea Federation have the same problem as their president Liu Fu, that is, they do not like to appear in the international arena, so countries do not know much about them.
Even less than Liu Fu, even if they wanted to conduct their own analysis, they did not have enough intelligence support to analyze any deeper meaning.
However, the British, American and German governments are all very interested in the candidate Sandro. Because Sandro’s family background is related to these three countries. First of all, Sandro is the son of David and the son of a British earl.
Although the descendants have joined the federal citizenship, the blood relationship is not easy to be severed. At least David is still a British noble. From an emotional point of view, the British government is more willing to see a descendant of a British noble to serve as the federal president. They feel that
In this way, both parties will have more in common in the future.
The reason why the U.S. government is willing to see Sandro take over as federal president is because of his father David. Although this profiteer is a British aristocrat, his core industries and company headquarters are in the United States. He also became the world's richest man in the United States.
, and he himself has lived in New York for decades
, if you don’t dig deeper, most people agree that he is an American. And he has a very close relationship with the US government. The US government would rather see his son become the president of the most hostile country. This is better than a
It would be much more beneficial to the United States for a secret service chief whom no one understands to be president.
As for the German government, it is because of Sandro's mother's family that they are more inclined to let him serve as federal president. The Helena family in Germany is now a close confidant of the prime minister. This mustache greatly funded him and his party when he did not make a fortune.
The family can now be said to be walking sideways in Germany. Not only are they and their children
Beard maintains close personal relationships. He is also old friends with many important figures in the Nazi Party. In addition, his family controls all of Germany's air transport industry and part of the shipbuilding industry, and is also the lubrication between the South China Sea Federation and the German government.
No one can move this big rock unless they explicitly make a mustache.
If Sandro can ascend to the throne of the federal president, then he, who is of German descent, will definitely not treat his mother's motherland badly. Judging from various intelligence, Sandro's relationship with his mother is obviously better than that with his profiteer father.
His feelings are much deeper. If with his great assistance the Federation can directly enter the Axis Powers, then Mustache has reason to believe that Germany will definitely dominate Europe and become a truly Greater Germany.
Gossip is gossip. Although Liu Fu is hospitalized, he is not dead yet. These analyzes and discussions can only be reported in private or covertly. No one dares to talk about this issue openly. It is very possible to talk about this kind of thing in the Federation.
You will be invited by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to chat, and discussing this kind of issue internationally will definitely trigger a protest from the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, because gossiping will get you into trouble. How unfair it is.
Amid the lively gossip, the world bid farewell to 1938 and welcomed 1939. The cold winter had just gone and the ice and snow had not yet melted. The Germans couldn't wait to march their troops into Czechoslovakia. By this time
It's not that Mustache is eager to swallow up the Czech Republic, but he sees the weakness of Britain and France and the greed of Poland. If he doesn't take the Czech Republic into his pocket as soon as possible, others may take the lead.
It’s not that Czechoslovakia didn’t want to resist, but it was helpless that it was not united internally. The reason why Czechoslovakia was called Czechoslovakia was because it was not a nation in the first place, nor was it a country in history. It was forced to do so by the Treaty of Versailles.
It is no wonder that when the "Contract of Versailles" was signed, French Marshal Joffre once said: This contract will not bring peace to Europe, but will only delay a bigger war by 20 years.
In March, there was a conflict between Czech President Shah and the pro-German Slovak Prime Minister Tissot. Shah announced that he would dismiss Tissot from his post and wanted to arrest him. As a result, Tissot learned the news in advance and handled the matter very quickly.
He ran to Berlin and asked Mustache for help. Mustache must have wanted to help this pro-German
The Prime Minister of Slovakia called Shahalian for negotiation. It is said that Mustache and Goering frightened and deceived Shahalian, forcing the president to agree to hand over Bohemia and Moravia to German trusteeship.
Because in the eyes of the Germans, these two places are Germany's homeland and must be taken back.
President Shah even suffered from heart disease. If Mustache's personal doctor had not rescued him in time, the Czechoslovak president would have died in Berlin. You say it is quite pitiful for a president to be like this, but life is
You can't choose where you are, you can only appoint.
The German army successfully entered Czechoslovakia and occupied Prague. Mustache personally went to Prague to inspect the land that had returned to Germany from his own hands, but the Czechs he saw did not look like the Austrians.
Although he didn't resist the welcome to the German army, he was not happy either.
Two days later, the last Carpathian territory of Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, was also annexed to Hungary. From this day on, the country of Czechoslovakia ceased to exist, and other European countries had just reacted at this time. In addition to protesting,
Besides, nothing can be saved.
After annexing Austria and most of Czechoslovakia, Germany is left with six bordering countries: Belgium, France, Poland, Switzerland, Italy, and Hungary. Belgium and France in the west are definitely with the United Kingdom, and Belgium in the south is definitely with the United Kingdom.
Switzerland is a very unique neutral country. It is unique not because it is a neutral country, but because it is unique because of the reason why it can remain neutral among a group of big countries.
There are several small countries in Europe that have always been called neutral countries, such as Belgium, Luxembourg, the Vatican, and San Marino. However, these neutral countries are not truly neutral countries. When war comes, their fate is always in the hands of others. Like Belgium and Luxembourg, during World War I
We were invaded during World War II. It's useless for you to say you are neutral. If others don't admit it, they won't admit it. We should fight anyway.
So why can Switzerland remain neutral among a group of warring countries? It's not that it is popular or particularly honest, but that it is particularly capable of fighting. After Napoleon swept across Europe, Switzerland has never fought a war again. During World War II
China and Switzerland are both neutral countries. They are truly neutral countries. All warring countries have to fight around Swiss territory, no matter which side enters Switzerland.
Territory or airspace will be attacked by the Swiss army. In World War II, the Swiss Air Force shot down dozens of German aircraft and hundreds of Allied bombers. These aircraft violated Swiss airspace, so no belligerent country was willing to provoke them.
The Swiss, even the mustaches in their heyday, are not willing to mess with such a country that dares to fight you. (To be continued...)
