In fact, the current attitude of the United Kingdom towards China is somewhat similar to that of Japan before World War II. It wants to contain it. Without this strength, the other side has grown bigger. It is unwilling to contain it but is unwilling to do so. In particular, it is worried that China will attack its colonies in Asia.
, Even the British themselves would not believe that Emperor Yang has no interest in Southeast Asia and India. Although they really have to let go and fight, the United Kingdom is really confident that it will not be unable to defeat China, but the problem is that the United Kingdom cannot let go.
Not to mention.+
Since moving the trouble eastward is the best way that Britain can think of at present, just like it used China as a human shield, Britain is also preparing to use the United States as a human shield. Anyway, Emperor Yang has always had a soft spot for the United States in recent years.
, worked hard to deceive the United States, and did everything possible. Starting from the first Spanish-American War, the rope was constantly tied around the neck of the United States, and it brought a prosperous and powerful United States to where it is today.
, cession of territories, indemnities, secession and civil war are all in short supply.
Since he likes the United States so much, he might as well just leave the United States to him. A country with millions of square kilometers, tens of millions of people, and the fourth largest industrial strength in the world, may still rank first in the world in actual industrial potential, and it has
It is a huge country with more than 600,000 troops, millions of war mobilization capabilities, a complete military industry system, and inexhaustible resources. Even with China's current strength, even with its minions, they want to gnaw it down.
I'm afraid I'll have to lose a lot of teeth, and maybe I'll be dragged to death in the quagmire.
If this is the case, then Britain is happy to indulge it. Now the whole of Europe is about to be destroyed. If China is left out of the matter, then the strength will wax and wane, and this awakening dragon will be even more difficult to control. After all, Yang Feng was driven by ambition.
Feeling dizzy and thinking about attacking the United States again, the best choice for Britain is to push them and let China and the United States fight again. While Europe is bleeding each other, it cannot make China's life too easy.
Therefore, the British took a very strong stance on the issue of Alabama's independence referendum. From the government to the private sector, they criticized Alabama and even severely criticized the Confederacy's interference in the internal affairs of the United States. In short, they wanted to let Americans see
They have the support of the British Empire behind them. There is no need to be afraid of the Caribbean Alliance. If Alabama dares to split, just beat him. Britain will support you.
In addition, in order to cheer up the United States, the British Navy also sent two of the latest London-class battleships, the London and the Majestic, to Kingston, plus the Russian Caribbean Fleet in Santo Domingo. The Allied Powers will maintain a five-year presence in the Caribbean.
The size of a battleship, considering that the current main task of the British Navy is to block the German High Seas Fleet, it is already very rare to be able to produce such a force.
In addition, the U.S. Navy has regained some of its strength in recent years. Although according to the regulations of the Paris Peace Conference, they cannot have warships above 5,000 tons, there are still no restrictions on warships below 5,000 tons. In fact, in these wars, the United States has actually
Lost at sea, so the development of light warships is still very fast. Now it has twenty 4900-ton cruisers and fifty large and small destroyers, all of which are also diesel-powered. There are also hundreds of small torpedo boats.
It is still capable of protecting its own coastline, which also gives the US government great confidence.
Coupled with the support of the British, President Bryan acted particularly tough on the issue of Alabama's independence referendum. Although he did not use military means to forcefully break through the Alabama National Guard's defense lines, and then went straight to Montgomery City,
However, six army divisions were still mobilized to exert pressure from the east and north.
Under this situation, the Confederacy's performance became even stronger. President Culbertson publicly stated that if the U.S. government used force to suppress the freedom rights of the people of Alabama, the Confederacy would not rule out providing military support to the people of Alabama, and even
As for declaring war on the United States, you must know that the Confederacy's declaration of war on the United States also means that the entire Caribbean Alliance declares war on the United States, and the situation in the Americas suddenly became tense.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining four countries of the Caribbean Alliance, including Germany, which was at war, all reiterated their respect for the alliance's obligations on the same day. The Chinese government announced that the ocean-going training formation of the Eastern Fleet that had just arrived in San Francisco was officially incorporated into the Eastern Pacific Fleet. In addition, in response to
Due to the tense situation in the Caribbean, the expanded Eastern Pacific Fleet was transferred to Puerto Rico, where it joined the Caribbean Task Force and formed the Americas Task Force.
At the same time, the Spanish government announced that the two latest Spanish-class battleships originally stationed in the mainland were transferred to Cuba to join the Spanish Navy's Caribbean Fleet. With the addition of these two battleships, the fleet will have three perfect battleships and four Princess-class battleships.
Heavy cruisers and more than 40 cruisers and destroyers.
In addition, the Mexican Navy also has more than 30 cruisers and destroyers, including two Princess-class heavy cruisers. Together with the German fleet in Port-au-Prince, the Caribbean Alliance will maintain a huge scale of nearly 200 warships in this area.
This scale is greater than that of the United States itself. Even all the warships from all the countries on the east coast of America combined cannot match it.
The army has two Chinese divisions stationed in Puerto Rico, two German divisions in Haiti, 250,000 Spanish troops in Florida and Cuba, the Confederacy currently has 150,000 troops, and Mexico has 600,000 troops.
There are also five Chinese Army divisions in the provinces, and the total strength of the entire alliance exceeds one million. It has an absolute advantage over the United States on both land and sea.
But at this time, the United States has no choice. President Bryan is also very clear about the strategy of the Caribbean Alliance in recent years. It is nothing more than cannibalization. Cut off a little today and cut a little tomorrow. Each point will not touch the bottom line of American tolerance. Every time, it will be given to the United States.
An illusory illusion of peace, and when the United States finally regained some strength, it immediately took a small bite again. If this continues, it will not take many years for the United States to be bitten to death by these hungry wolves. Since this is the case, it is better to just risk it. If you want to
Just come and fight, I will accompany you to the end this time.
In fact, the Americans are not stupid. They also know that under the current circumstances, Yang Feng's main job is to generate war wealth in Europe. It is impossible for him to spend his troops on a dispensable state of Alabama.
Dragging it into a quagmire and missing such a good opportunity can be imagined. Once China is trapped in the American battlefield, China's industry will go all out to support the war here. How will Europe's war fortune be made at that time?
Therefore, even though the Confederacy showed a fierce posture of war and even began to mobilize the army in a serious manner, President Bryan still faced the huge pressure above his head and asked the state of Alabama when the referendum officially began.
The U.S. Army confronting the National Guard issued an order to attack, and then six U.S. divisions that had been waiting for the attack launched a surprise attack at the same time.
What stands in front of the U.S. military is nothing more than a group of militiamen, and Alabama does not have a large population. The total number of National Guard troops is only 30,000. How could they stop the attack of six U.S. divisions?
With good promises and the bright prospect of sending troops to support and the entire Caribbean Alliance to support them, the dazed Alabamians still resisted tenaciously. After a fierce and cruel battle, the US military broke through the Alabama National Guard.
The defense line went straight to Montgomery City.
After the U.S. military used force, the Alabama Congress and government hurriedly declared the state of Alabama to be officially independent and established the Republic of Alabama. Immediately afterwards, those legislators and government members took a train and fled to the Confederacy to reunite with their wives and children.
Before leaving, he also called on the people of the Republic of Alabama to fight for independence and freedom. Of course, as leaders of this war for independence and freedom, they certainly could not stay and fight like the people. After fleeing to the Confederacy, these guys immediately formed
The exiled government of the Republic of Alabama began to accuse the world of the atrocities committed by the U.S. government in massacring the people of Alabama.
Under the hype of the Yang Group's media, more than a thousand Alabama National Guardsmen who died on the battlefield immediately became martyrs who were brutally massacred by the U.S. government for defending freedom and democratic rights. In addition, there were also those who did not have time.
The congressmen who escaped and were arrested were also covered with a sacred halo at this time and became great men like Jefferson and Franklin.
"It is simply outrageous. This is a trampling of human justice. Although I am not sure why the people of Alabama want to secede from the United States of America, since there have been examples of the Confederate States of America before, that is to say, the state of Alabama
The people have the right to choose independence, which is given to them by the U.S. Constitution and is sacred and inviolable. Then the U.S. government should respect their choice and not use a butcher knife to interfere with the people's freedom.
The actions of the U.S. government must be condemned, the executioners who massacred the people must be brought to trial, and the international righteous forces must act to protect the people of Alabama who are being massacred." Emperor Yang, who had just arrived in Hanoi, was interviewed by reporters.
He said indignantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the international justice forces immediately took action, but the way they acted surprised the onlookers who were watching indifferently.
The five governments of the Caribbean Alliance have successively submitted ultimatums to the U.S. government, demanding that the United States respect the choice of the people of Alabama, withdraw all U.S. troops in Afghanistan within 24 hours, release political prisoners arrested by them, and monitor the situation in the five countries.
Continue to hold the independence referendum that they interrupted by force and respect the results of the referendum.
Otherwise, the naval fleets of the five Caribbean Alliance countries will block the coast of the United States indefinitely and prohibit all ships except transporting agricultural products from leaving the port.
