Chapter 480: Current South America


October 20, 1928, the 27th year of the Republic, the White House in Washington, USA.

"Crazy, crazy, the British must be crazy.

What is the Labor Party cabinet?

This is clearly the Russian Communist Party cabinet, or the Socialist Party of Science and Technology cabinet.

Aren't they afraid of being out of touch?"

President James Middleton Cox looked like he had eaten shit, with an expression of embarrassment and embarrassment on his face.

Six months ago, when he first received the news, he thought his subordinates were drunk.

But what I didn't expect was that after repeated confirmation, this information was true.

Later, Opium Cow actually started playing this way, and now it seems to be working well.

"James, this is normal.

Anyway, in the eyes of the British, no matter how they play, it will not be worse than the previous situation."

Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby shrugged and said disapprovingly: "And their method , it looks pretty good now, doesn’t it?”

Colby smiled and said: "Besides, the British Labor Party is a left-wing party, so I'm not surprised at all that they would act like this.

Anyway, the situation in the UK is different from that in the East.

They don't have landless peasants, and there are no land conflicts. , no matter how they carry out land reform in India, it will not affect the country. " "Well, it's true.

It seems that land reform is only effective in the East and Eastern Europe."

Cox thought for a while and felt that this was indeed the case.

There is indeed no land conflict in the UK today, because hundreds of years ago they started the land enclosure movement and then engaged in "sheep eating people".

The first to suffer were the poor and lower-middle peasants who had little land and no land.

After hundreds of years of doing this, all the poor and lower-middle peasants have been forced to change their jobs and become workers, or they have immigrated to the colonies to become farmers.

By this century, there are no longer "peasants" in the oriental sense in Britain; they are all large landowners, or farmers.

Similarly, European countries such as France and Germany also play this way.

These countries now have no farmers in the Eastern sense, because the farmers with little land have either died, changed jobs, or immigrated.

What is now called "peasant" in most European countries, if we let the East go, is at the level of landowners.

Even in France, which is known as the least agrarian country, the farmers with the least land have more than 30 acres and 182 acres of cultivated land.

Not to mention the United States.

Thanks to the Homestead Law, if an American farmer’s cultivated land is less than 160 acres or 971 acres, he will be embarrassed to say that he is a farmer when he goes out.

Therefore, in European and American countries with a high degree of industrialization, most lower-class civilians are not farmers, and those who are farmers have no shortage of land.

Besides, there are also colonies, so land reform really has no appeal to the lower class.

Naturally, they are not afraid of the peasant movement.

Of course, on the contrary, what they fear most is the workers' movement.

Cox said: "Bainbridge, do you think the British will also carry out land reform in Africa?"

"Africa hahaha, do those niggas know how to farm?"

Colby laughed and said disdainfully: "Those niggas are born slaves.

They can only farm under the command of their masters and the supervision of whips. .

Look at the three countries in West Africa that we support now.

We have allocated so much farmland to them, but they still suffer from famine every year.”

"When you put it this way, I also think it was a mistake to let those niggas establish their own country.

We overestimated their abilities.

I think they are simply relatives of orangutans."

When mentioning the three countries in West Africa, Cox also felt speechless. , very headache.

Now the three West African countries they support are a pile of junk.

For example, Togoland, when the Germans ruled, was a model for African colonies and had the best economy in Africa.

In Africa before World War I, local infrastructure and production levels were among the best.

As a result, after the black shad took over, it didn't take long to ruin the place.

It was similar in Cameroon and Liberia.

The cheerful black corns quickly ate up all the US aid, and then began to fight among themselves and rob each other of daily necessities.

Now the black millers in the three West African countries are working hard but are unwilling to carry out construction.

As a result, large areas of fields are laid waste and famine occurs every year.

Not only can they not provide blood transfusions to the United States, but they also need the United States to provide food, clothing and daily necessities, so that the United States can I have a terrible headache.

Now these three countries have become the laughing stock of the whole world, and everyone says that this is the failure of the United States.

"But, James, if there were no three West African countries, how could we send those niggas out of our country and have a chance to intervene in Africa?

The situation in Africa is so good now, which shows that this policy is still very successful.

As for the little assistance given to them , Even if it’s a price, it’s nothing compared to the benefits we get,” Colby said quickly.

He is an important supporter and implementer of the strategy of supporting the black sorghum to build the country.

It is one thing to despise the black sorghum, but this policy cannot be wrong, and it cannot slap itself in the face.

Cox said helplessly: "Farke, why don't these damn niggas want to learn from East Africa?

They are all niggas, why is the gap so big?"

Unfortunately, it comes from comparison.

Nowadays, in the independent countries of black Africa, East Africa has become "other people's children."

They develop best, and their agricultural production not only fully meets domestic demand, but also exports coffee, cotton, cashew nuts, tobacco, sisal, pyrethrum, cloves and other agricultural products in large quantities.

Industry has also developed greatly, and the most powerful army and air force in Africa have been established.

Even the navy looks similar.

Although in the eyes of the great powers, that small navy is not worth mentioning, but in the eyes of the great powers, it is not worth mentioning.

Among African countries, it is second to none.

This makes Germany very happy, and they often show off "how good our children are."

Colby spread his hands: "Black people in East Africa and black people in West Africa are not the same breed.

Besides, most of the officials in the East African government are Germans or German-Africans, and we only have a few consultants in the three West African countries."

In order to build a memorial for itself, after the handover was completed, the United States only trained some black officials and left them alone.

There are no white officials in the governments of the three West African countries, and only a few advisers are left, claiming that "this is to allow the black people to be completely independent, and we will not interfere in anything."

As a result, I now find that I was too optimistic, and the black people are not in charge of the country.

As expected, a lot of bad things happened.

But now it's hard to swallow the water, and it's hard to take back what I said before, so I have to hold my nose and admit it.

"Okay, okay, Bainbridge, let's not talk about those niggers."

Cox interrupted Colby.

He really had no hope for the niggas, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's talk about it.

Come on, South America, that damn Colombia has now annexed Venezuela, we can’t let them annex Ecuador anymore.”

"Well, indeed, it will be troublesome if Colombia annexes Ecuador again.

Venezuela is a waste, and they didn't even last a year."

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Mr.

Secretary of State, Venezuela's army is not weak, it is Colombia that is too strong."

Colby looked back and saw that it was Gen.

Charles Summerall, the Chief of Staff of the U.S.

Army.

This guy was sitting next to him drinking coffee with Chief of Naval Operations Frederick Hughes.

They didn't interrupt the conversation between the President and the Secretary of State just now, but now that he heard about his major, Summerall couldn't help but say a few words.

“The equipment level of the Colombian army is not as good as that of Venezuela, but their generals are too strong.

General Casillas’ command level is extremely high.

We have studied several of his battles and his command art is classic.

The military strength was maximized while the enemy's equipment advantage was suppressed to the minimum."

When mentioning the Colombian "war hero" Casillas, Summerol was full of praise.

Hughes also chimed in: "Although I don't know much about the Army, judging from this situation, I don't think Ecuador can survive if we don't intervene."

"Where did that Casillas come from and be so powerful?"

"I don't care where he came from.

The question is what should we do now?

If Colombia really annexes Ecuador, our situation in South America will be completely passive."

President Cox was a little worried.

President Cox is now in his second term as president and is currently planning a third term.

However, because of the loss of points on the South American issue, his image among the people has plummeted.

If he doesn't find a way to reverse the situation, his ambitious "three-term" plan will come to nothing.

The general election begins next month, and the "great humanitarian" Herbert Hoover is watching eagerly.

"But limited by the South American Neutrality Agreement, we can't directly intervene, damn old Europe."

London, 10 Downing Street.

While American bosses are worrying about South American issues, British bosses are also discussing South American issues.

Prime Minister Macdonald and his Labor cabinet were in a very happy mood at this time since the success of their land reform policy in India.

Those lower-class civilians and untouchables who enjoyed the favor of the British during the "Indian Land Reform" have formed a new interest group and become the strongest supporters of the British in India.

British colonial policy in India had never enjoyed such widespread support.

The British also understand now that as long as they propagate: Once India becomes independent, the upper castes will be in power, and the land we are now allocating to you "honorable citizens" will be confiscated and robbed by them.

Of course, these lower-class civilians who have already benefited are not willing to be oppressed anymore, and they will naturally stand unswervingly on the side of the British.

And many rebels also understand this.

For those low-level civilians who are hungry, cold, and oppressed, they will support whoever benefits them and makes their lives better.

This is human nature, not to mention that they are not a nation, and they cannot even raise the banner of nationalism.

Most of the independent organizations in India now, such as the Congress Party, are chaired by upper-class dignitaries and upper castes.

The upper-class dignitaries are also their base, and their organizations cannot do without the support of these upper-class dignitaries.

Of course they cannot engage in land reform like the British and a few alternative rebels.

Their class position determines that they must oppose land reform and stand on the opposite side of the lower class in India, because land reform is to revolutionize the lives of upper-class dignitaries like them.

There are only individuals who betray the class, and there is no class that betrays its interests.

Therefore, the British's land reform hit their weaknesses.

No matter in any country, the lower-class civilians will always account for the vast majority of the population, and the upper-class dignitaries will always be a minority.

If the Indian independence movement cannot gain the support of the people at the bottom, then this movement is a tree without roots and water without a source, and is destined to fail.

Can we make waves just by relying on those gentlemen?

In addition, the Japanese mercenaries are also actively participating in the land reform carried out by the British.

Japan is now a socialist country, and they have also experienced land reform domestically.

In the past, when the employer did not speak, they were reluctant to move.

Now that the employer has spoken, they are naturally happy to participate.

So now the situation in India is becoming increasingly stable.

Except for the few rebel armies that are also in the socialist style, they can still firmly control their own territory.

Most of the rebel armies launched by the master have been on the streets, and the remaining few The most powerful thing is that it is no longer in glory.

So now Britain can have time to care about the situation in South America.

Some time ago, because Britain and France were occupied by their colonies, the Allies took the opportunity to stir up trouble in South America and increase their support for the "just force" of South America, namely Colombia.

Although the Entente and the Central Powers are all in the same trench on this issue, and they have joined forces to oppose the expansion of the United States in South America, there must be priorities.

If you are always playing tricks, then our British Empire has no sense of existence.

"Bolivia is finished.

Under the siege of Chile and Paraguay, they have been losing ground.

They have lost most of the country and even the capital.

Now only the two provinces of Beni and Pando in the north are left," the Army Chief of Staff first said.

Introducing the current situation in South America.

"Peru has now lost more than half of its territory, leaving only the territory along the Amazon River.

Its demise is only a matter of time."

"Brazil and Argentina are now locked in a tug-of-war.

Neither side has a clear advantage.

Anyway, no matter who wins, Uruguay will be completely finished.

The main battlefield of the ab war is Uruguay.

There are now less than 50,000 people left in this country.

It has no value as a country.”

"Where's Colombia?"

asked the Prime Minister.

"After Colombia annexed Venezuela, it began to invade Ecuador.

They occupied most of Ecuador's territory and are at war with Chile.

The situation on the west coast of South America is now very complicated.

Colombia, Bolivia and Peru have formed an alliance to fight against Chile, Paraguay and Ecuador."

"God, what a mess," the Prime Minister said, holding his forehead.

The Foreign Secretary said: "Prime Minister, this time Chile and Colombia have made money.

According to our intelligence, the two biggest winners have already negotiated privately.

China is also mediating between the two countries, and the United States has recently begun to put pressure on Colombia. " Everyone discussed for a long time, and MacDonald finally made the decision: "Well, I think South America has enough now.

They have been fighting for almost two years, so it's almost done.

Let's prepare for mediation."

Then he said: "Chile is supported by China, and we cannot let them annex Peru and Bolivia.

Although we support Colombia, Germany also supports it, and judging from their reaction, Germany has greater influence, so we cannot They completely annexed Ecuador."

"Okay, Prime Minister, let's talk based on this bottom line."

The Foreign Secretary immediately agreed.

“What about Brazil and Argentina?”

"Ignore them, they haven't fought enough anyway.

Since they want to fight, let them fight more."

Prime Minister McDonald smiled evilly.

"In short, our policy now is to try to contain the United States and China.

These two countries have stretched their hands too far.

Those rebel armies in India must have the support of China.

Don't think that they have no contact on the surface.

We can hide it.

The next step is to squeeze China’s power out of India.”

The British are not fools.

The rebels that Mr.

Wen privately supports have a strong flavor of the Socialist Party in terms of behavioral style and purpose.

If you can't react after taking so long, then you are not a thousand-year-old troublemaker. .

But it’s useless to know.

Now Niu Niu is afraid that China will find an excuse to directly intervene in India.

Just look at the map and you will know that India, Malaya, and Yemen, the British colonies in the East, are all surrounded by China and the People's Revolutionary League.

Yes, due to the concessions made by Britain before World War I, there are indeed no territorial disputes between China and Britain.

But there are no territorial disputes with China, which does not mean there are no territorial disputes with other countries.

Now Siam, Persia, Nepal, Afghanistan and Arabia are all arguing with Britain over territorial issues.

Is it necessary to guess whether China will help them?

"Prime Minister, now we must have a good talk with China," the finance minister suddenly said.

Seeing that Macdonald looked unhappy, he said: "Prime Minister, listen to this first."

As he spoke, he picked up a document and read: "Last year, China's raw steel output reached 321.3 million tons, 300 million tons of steel.

Grain output was 880 million tons, meat output was 68.6 million tons, and raw coal output was 5. 100 million tons, cotton yarn production is 3.43 million tons, power generation is 2898 billion kilowatts, merchant ship fleet is 27.32 million tons, automobile production is 11.8 million units, and railway operating mileage is close to 370,000 kilometers."

Everyone was suddenly silent.

MacDonald felt his throat was dry.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, do you think it is wise to go against such a behemoth?

The empire's current strength is no longer what it used to be.

We must recognize the reality.

On the Eastern issue, we need to temporarily shrink.

Our finances are already very tight."

The Finance Minister said: "If a war breaks out between us and China, the consequences will be disastrous, and India will definitely not be able to survive.

What's more, Japan is now a member of the People's Revolutionary Alliance."

McDonald wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "So what do you mean?"

"I have a suggestion" the Chancellor took out a document. s: It’s the end of the month, please vote, recommend, subscribe, and all kinds of things:
