Chapter 498: The Foundations of War in South America
In fact, those desperate American industrial capitalists are not just moving to South America. Canada and Australia are also their important targets. After all, the current situation in the United States makes it difficult for them to hope for a turnaround. No one is left here.
There are places for people to stay. Anyway, they all immigrated from Europe. At worst, they will immigrate to other places. () They have funds, technology, and even previous customers. They open factories everywhere, and a large number of Americans
The capitalists sold their machinery and equipment to Chinese businessmen at low prices and then sadly left the once great United States of America with their money, embarking on a journey to start their lives over in strange foreign countries.
Of course, this is only for those small and medium-sized business owners, such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Vanderbilt, who will definitely not be able to leave. Their roots are already rooted in the United States, and it is impossible for them to move with oil fields and iron ore. This is why Yang
The main reason why the emperor didn't pay much attention to this matter was that the ones who got away were just little shrimps.
But now it seems that although it is not a big deal, we cannot continue to let it go. The large number of shrimps is also very troublesome. We cannot leave any way for these Americans to survive. Canada does not care. Once it enters the war, the worst is to let the fleet fight over.
They even sent American troops to land directly with their servants. A small country with a total population of only 6 million was crushed to death with just a finger.
The same is true for Australia. Anyway, as a member of the Commonwealth, they have already participated in the war. It will be completely justified to beat them when the time comes. What's more, Western Australia actually has the surname Yang now. There are more than 200,000 Chinese immigrants there alone, leaving hundreds of thousands of white people.
They are also responsible for the jobs of Yang's consortium.
But this safe haven in South America must be demolished immediately. Brazil has a population of nearly 20 million, and together with Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Colombia, the total exceeds 50 million. And there is no shortage of resources. Once it is combined with the funds of American capitalists,
, the combination of technology and management experience will equal the emergence of a new America.
What's more, that place in South America is extremely unfamiliar to the Chinese, and the environment is equally harsh. In the plan, Emperor Yang is not prepared to annex it directly. Economic plunder and population erosion are the way to go. But if these American capitalists who are full of hatred for China are allowed to escape,
It will be very troublesome to create an anti-China base camp.
"We must find a way to get South America to fight. If we can't create a way, we have to drag them into the war." Emperor Yang said immediately after thinking of this.
"This is not impossible. First of all, there is still a territorial dispute between the United Kingdom and Argentina. The Argentinians believe that the islands adjacent to them, including the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, should belong to Argentina, but the British believe that they belong to them.
Colonies, there have always been disputes between the two sides. Of course, a little ant like Argentina would definitely not dare to act like a Tyrannosaurus Rex like the British Empire. At most, they would just talk and make some small moves. If these islands are used to lure
, if it is certain that Britain will be defeated, Argentina may be able to jump out. In addition, the Germans are also very powerful there. Although the number of Italian immigrants is also large, generally speaking, it is not impossible for them to fall to Germany.
There is also a dispute between Chile and Argentina over the Beagle Channel and the Picton Islands. They had previously invited the United Kingdom for arbitration, but in the end no results were achieved. In addition, Chile's minerals are basically under the control of British capital.
If Argentina joins the Allies, then Chile may join the Allies as long as the Allies are not defeated. But if Chile joins the Allies, Peru and Bolivia, who were defeated by them in the Saltpeter War, will not miss the opportunity to regain their lost territory. After all, they are in the Allied Powers.
Too much was lost in that war.
As for Brazil, it is currently entangled with the issue of a German submarine sinking a Brazilian merchant ship, and the Germans have been holding back their millions of pounds of coffee money deposited in German banks. This is also very disgusting for Brazilians. In addition, Brazil and Argentina
There are also disputes over border issues," Zhang Quan said.
"That is to say, the key lies in Argentina. As long as there is this instigator, a chain reaction will be formed throughout South America. Moreover, Colombia will not give up on regaining the land taken by the Russians. As for the German colonies there, William will definitely not
Mind giving it back to them. Venezuela will definitely help Colombia. The Russians are also what they are afraid of. They will not miss this opportunity to expel the new colonists. Most countries in South America have gone to war. Brazil
It's impossible to stay out of it." Yang Feng was very satisfied with the results of this analysis, which means that there is no basis for a war between South American countries.
Of course, to implement this matter, you still need to use your brain. No one is a fool these days. Countries in South America have conflicts. It would be a bit awkward to fight over a few islands, a strait, a waterfall, etc.
It's making a fuss out of a molehill. Unless it's a business that seems to be a sure profit, no sensible person will play war easily. If we continue to play the same trick as last time, I'm afraid there's no chance of it. With Italy's unfortunate precedent, no matter who
When I heard Emperor Yang shouting to join here, join over there, I had to be careful not to be the second one to be cheated.
There must be a convincing hype project, and these countries must actually feel that China's joining the Allies is no longer just talk.
"Your Majesty, don't we have one now?" Zhang Quan said with a smile.
"You mean the oil fields in Sumatra?" Emperor Yang immediately understood what his foreign minister was talking about. This matter can indeed be used. The things he said when he deceived Italy last time were all false, but if he succeeded,
If there is a super large oil field in the British conflict, it will undoubtedly be very important.
The British suddenly discovered an oil field with huge reserves on the island of Sumatra. Then this secret was quickly leaked, which aroused the covetousness of the Chinese. Then the two countries launched a secret war over the oil field on the island of Sumatra, supporting agents.
However, when China was still unable to seize this oil field, it was completely reasonable for China to join the Allied Powers in declaring war on Britain and directly seize the oil field itself. Those countries in South America would certainly not have the slightest doubt.
At this time, Germany took the opportunity to fool the Argentines. Since China will definitely join the Allies, the Allies will naturally win. In this case, in order to successfully retake the Falklands from the British as a victorious nation, the Argentines will naturally not have any pressure.
Joined the war.
Then after they entered the war, China suddenly reached a compromise with Britain, whether it was cooperation between the two parties in development or other forms. In short, even if His Majesty the Emperor was satisfied, China and Britain were reconciled, and the relationship even improved. At that time, Argentina
Stunned, Chile next to him asked the British to declare war on Argentina, and then Peru and Bolivia helped Argentina declare war on Chile. Brazil declared war on Argentina over the border issue, and the war started completely.
Emperor Yang immediately smoothed out the entire steps in his mind. It should be said that this was a good plan. However, although the plan was good, there were many difficulties in its execution. The key was how to get Argentina to join the war before China. In case of any eventuality,
What should they do if they don't let the rabbit fly? The key is that Emperor Yang has a bad record in this regard. Even now, Italians gnash their teeth when they think about it. It is impossible for Argentines not to be scrupulous, and this problem must be solved.
Also, what if the British don't cooperate? Or what if the British become too weak after knowing that Emperor Yang is also concerned about the oil fields in Sumatra and don't dare to snatch them? After all, as long as their brains are not kicked by donkeys at this time, they should be very happy.
Clearly, you must not offend China over an oil field, otherwise everything will be over if China turns to the Allies.
"Whatever! There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Soon Emperor Yang put aside these problems.
At this time, the war situation in the Netherlands had entered a stalemate. The British army, plus a supporting Portuguese army division, and the German-Dutch allied forces had been fighting in Rotterdam for almost a month, and the European Shanghai was almost reduced to ruins, but the ruins
The fighting between the two countries is still going on. Anyway, if the British do not capture Rotterdam, they will definitely not be able to advance deep into the Netherlands, let alone attack the hinterland of Germany. And the Germans will definitely not be stupid enough to put the enemy into their own homes, even if they want to beat them to pieces.
To destroy the Netherlands, in order to achieve this goal, William has put the hastily formed Fifteenth Army into the Dutch battlefield. In addition, he has also transferred two armies back from the Eastern Front to supplement the Fifteenth Army. Otherwise, it will only be a bunch of new soldiers and
The British elite suffered a lot in fighting.
During this period, the German airship force repeatedly carried out coagulation decoy bombs against the British army. However, at this time, the British's latest fighter jets also began to be put into the battlefield in small quantities. Although this type of fighter jet was still slightly inferior to the Germans in terms of performance,
But the difference was very small, and it effectively contained the German airships. In addition, the British airships also bombed the Germans. The most brutal one even dropped more than 200 tons on the German logistics base Dusseldorf at night.
ZHA bombs and white phosphorus incendiary bombs caused nearly a thousand German civilian casualties.
In retaliation, the German airships that took off from Belgium also dropped more than 500 tons of coagulation bombs on London. However, the bombing of London this time caused the Germans to suffer a lot. After all, they had bombed more than once. The British
It is impossible that the government does not have enough defense. They deployed hundreds of anti-aircraft guns in London, and the one hundred airships dispatched ended up returning less than eighty. Especially now that the British have learned to make white phosphorus bullets, this thing
The lethality to hydrogen airships is very terrifying. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
