In fact, there is absolutely no need to frame the Americans. The merchant ship that was taken to Miami for unloading inspection had arms under the cargo hold. A total of 10,000 American-made Lebel rifles were hidden under bags of soybeans, and according to the captain’s
Confession: The huge fuel tank on his merchant ship that uses a diesel engine is actually used to export diesel directly to the UK. It can transport an additional thousand tons of diesel at a time.｀｀
"Look, this is the wisdom of the working people! The American people have also learned to play tricks on others!" Emperor Yang said with admiration. This fact really surprised him. It can be seen that when people are pushed into a hurry, they will always
Those American capitalists who are eager to join the money-making feast have already racked their brains to find some small ways out. It is estimated that the number of American merchant ships that can get through this way should not be too small. Of course, this has no practical significance. It is better to be sneaky than nothing.
But this news was a blow to the American minister who was protesting at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Caribbean Alliance’s excuse for imposing trade sanctions on the United States was that the United States suppressed the freedom of the people of Alabama. This excuse is not so justified, but
Because they have big fists, Americans tolerate it, but morally speaking, justice is on the side of the American people, at least American public opinion thinks so, and most countries sympathize with them in this way.
Yang Feng's lust is nothing but sympathy.
But this time is different. Selling arms to belligerent countries is a blatant violation of the principle of neutrality. Even in the United States, this is still an illegal smuggling act. Although the US destroyer opened fire to protect the interests of its own merchant ships, if the merchant ship becomes an illegal
It is difficult to be confident about the smuggling ship. The resulting conflict suddenly changed from China's fault to the United States' fault.
"Your Excellency, it can be seen that the mission of the Caribbean Alliance Fleet on the coast of the United States is completely necessary. The greed of your businessmen is seriously exacerbating the bloodshed of the European people. I don't know how many such arms have been sent to Europe before, but
No matter how many, even if a rifle is sent to the European battlefield, the resulting deaths can be said to be the dereliction of duty of the US government.
In view of the fact that the U.S. government is no longer able to effectively control its own customs, in order to promote peace in Europe as soon as possible, the Caribbean Alliance will continue to impose trade sanctions on your country indefinitely until the end of the war in Europe. At the same time, it will increase inspections on the transportation of agricultural products from your country. Any
Any uncooperative behavior will be severely punished.
But at the same time, in view of your navy's hostile behavior towards the Allied Fleet, on behalf of the five governments of the Caribbean Alliance, I would like to inform you and your government that no U.S. Navy ships are allowed to sail out of the territorial waters of the United States, otherwise it will be regarded as an attack on the Allied Fleet.
Attack attempt, in which case the alliance fleet will have the right to sink it without warning." Zhang Quan said with a proud look on his face.
"Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, your country has no right to do this." the American minister said angrily.
"Your Excellency, Minister, now I am informing you of the joint decision of the five Caribbean Alliance countries, rather than discussing rights issues with you. In addition, your government must explain your ship's brutal attack on our ship.
We will compensate our losses and severely punish those responsible for provoking the conflict, otherwise the Chinese government will not rule out taking further measures." Zhang Quan continued to say proudly.
This is a war threat. Americans are naturally very aware of this. After the news reached the United States, the entire United States suddenly became chaotic. Those industrial capitalists immediately jumped out and clamored crazily to respond to the Chinese with war.
Invasion, but the farmers were firmly opposed to it. The two sides launched a large-scale debate in the media, and Congress formed two seriously opposed factions, arguing endlessly about this every day.
At the same time, from China's Jinzhou Province to distant Florida, along the entire arc-shaped border with the United States, the four countries of the China-Mexico-Western Confederacy also began to mobilize their troops on a large scale. Millions of troops were watching eagerly, ready to launch another invasion of the United States at any time.
.
Although he didn't want to fight, President Bryan had to take action in the face of such a situation. Large-scale war mobilization began in the United States, and the entire North American war was about to break out.
"Fight? Of course I won't fight. Peace is the mainstream. It would be better to get rich quietly." Emperor Yang said. Of course he was not prepared for a war, especially a war that was likely to turn into a quagmire. In fact, now
He is trying hard to avoid anything that may affect his war fortune. To put it bluntly, being so nervous is just to build momentum and deal with it to show to the people at home. After all, the United States takes the initiative to attack Chinese warships. It would be very embarrassing if it does not act tougher.
It fits his style.
But even if you don't fight, this thing can still be put to good use.
"Our demands are very simple. First, the U.S. government must make a public apology to China, second, severely punish those involved in provoking the conflict, and third, compensate for the loss of Chinese warships. It doesn't need to be much, just a thousand dollars."
Just 10,000 will do." The guy said immediately.
"Wouldn't this be too cheap for Americans?" Zhang Quan said. With these three words, it looked like a board was lifted high and dropped gently.
"That's all. In addition, you can also express our goodwill to the Americans appropriately. Let the Americans understand that as long as they farm the land honestly, we are very willing to continue to be friendly with them." Yang Feng said sincerely.
.
Zhang Quan looked at him a little confused.
"You have to understand that this is the unanimous wish of us and President Bryan, but it is not the wish of a certain group of Americans. There may not be any conspiracy behind this conflict. There are still many Americans who are looking forward to a war. We
Arouse their emotions to a high level, and then withdraw at the most critical moment. These people will go crazy at that time, but their madness will definitely not be spread to us. In this way, the US government will become their target, and support
Of course Bryan's people will fight back, so that there will be excitement within the United States," Yang Feng said.
Only then did Zhang Quan understand that His Majesty the Co-author wanted to turn this conflict into a trigger for the outbreak of conflicts among industrial and agricultural capitalists in the United States, plunging the country into large-scale civil strife.
It should be said that this is very feasible. The American industrial capitalists' tolerance for President Bryan has reached a dangerous edge. However, because of the full support of the farmers and lower-level workers, they no longer have the ability to vote for this.
The guy was kicked out. Bryan's re-election proved this, and although the President repeatedly tolerated concessions during his term, he did bring the long-awaited peace to the American people. Compared with his previous two terms,
The war is raging, but the American people still prefer their current life. Although the economy is in recession, the government's encouragement of agriculture in the Midwest still benefits most people at the bottom. As for making less money, that is a matter for the capitalists. Ordinary people
What the common people want is just food and clothing.
In this case, those capitalists who want to oust this annoying president can only use force. The previous assassination that Brian suffered has proved this, but that time he was lucky to escape the bullet, and never stopped.
After that, some concessions may have been reached with each other, which in short restored the political situation in the United States to a temporary state of calm. Besides, his presidential term still has three years at most, and those capitalists felt that the patience was over, but the sudden European war and this
The first trade sanctions have intensified conflicts again. After all, the war will be almost over in three years. At that time, there will be no chance to make a fortune. But now there is still a fuse, so give them this fuse.
As for what will happen after the fuse is lit, that is not what China needs to care about. As long as the United States is in chaos, it will be successful.
Based on this principle, just when tensions were rising on the border, Sino-US negotiations on the Snow Leopard incident were also launched in Beijing. According to the investigation results given by the Americans, this was an unfortunate accident. An artilleryman fired the first shot due to a mistake.
A cannonball was fired, which then turned into an artillery battle between the two sides.
Fortunately, there were no casualties on both sides, and only a few Chinese sailors and a dozen American sailors were injured. This can be considered a blessing in misfortune. The gunner and the captain in charge of commanding the American destroyer will naturally be punished in accordance with military law. That ship
The issue of arms smuggling by U.S. merchant ships is an internal matter of the United States. Whether it is the ship owner or the possible official of the customs, this is punished by U.S. law.
As for the apology and compensation, since the fault is indeed on the American side, these are all natural things. Of course, ten million dollars is a bit too much. The Snow Leopard was only slightly injured. Besides, the destroyer will not be sold even if it is sold.
The value was ten million U.S. dollars, plus the soldiers' pensions and other expenses, the total was finally determined by both parties to be five million U.S. dollars.
It should be said that the negotiation atmosphere between the two parties is friendly and harmonious. After all, no one wants to have a war over this. Besides, China's offer is not high and is completely within the acceptable range of the United States. Even Yang Feng is so easy to talk to this time.
, the outside world is a bit baffled. Although he keeps claiming that he is an old friend of the American people, this guy’s attitude towards the United States is well known to everyone. Not to mention the United States, many people in Europe think that this time the United States has another
A war is inevitable.
No one expected that things would end so easily.
Of course, this is only the negotiation on the Snow Leopard incident. Other issues such as the ban on the activities of the US Navy will not be brought to the negotiating table, and it is impossible for the US government to accept such humiliating conditions, but not accepting it does not mean that
The U.S. government will resist, and the order prohibiting sailing out of territorial waters has been issued to all fleets. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
