Chapter 531: Sitting on the Diaoyu Island to Watch the European War 5
In 1905, the whole of Europe was turned upside down. Africa was also the main battlefield for the two major European powers, Britain and Germany. However, due to the existence of the Far East Group, the war did not break out in an all-round way, but small-scale wars never stopped.
If we say the calmest region in the world, it is Asia. The Americas are relatively more harmonious. However, as the Far East Army has begun to deploy in the Americas in recent years, the US authorities have become a little restless because the Far East Group's methods are too great.
Terrible.
While the world powers continue to engage in imperialist aggression and partition, the Far East Group still maintains a unique development model. Everywhere it goes, in addition to sending troops to take over the local political power, it also begins large-scale construction of the area, just like these
This place is the hometown of the Far East Group, and it seems that the Far East Group has endless money.
But in fact, the Far East Group has always been short of money. It is only Li Ningyu's development model that has made the local people who are already disgusted with colonial aggression deeply realize that the Far East Group is not an imperialist country, but has an equal attitude to help
Building their homes and then obtaining some appropriate rewards is much more tactful than directly plundering, and is deeply loved by people everywhere.
At this time, the United States and the Far East had not yet participated in World War I, but the competition between the two sides in the Americas had already begun. The Far East Corps now has the strength to dominate the Americas, plus it has two major military bases in Alaska and Hawaii as backing
, so the threat from the Far East Legion makes the US authorities restless.
As a result, the two sides have had several small-scale encounters in North and South America. However, after the incident, both sides held the mentality of not expanding the war and eased it little by little. However, there is no way to resolve the conflict between the US authorities and the Far East Group.
.
The shrewd Americans have learned to be cunning after suffering hidden losses again and again, but their plan is to use one of their main chess pieces, Little Japan, again. However, the Japanese are not stupid either. They don't want to do cannon fodder.
Because they know very well how the Far East Group will deal with Little Japan if it fails.
So after using little Japan unsuccessfully, the Yankees had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into battle themselves, but they were very cautious. Although in the Americas, the Far East Army only had one aircraft carrier battle group patrolling here, after all, there was still a huge Far East Pacific
fleet.
In North America, the United States and Mexico have long had a blood feud, because since 1846, the United States has been invading Mexican territory and launching provocative wars.
Subsequently, the United States gradually occupied more than half of Mexico's territory through immigration, annexation, war, and money purchases. This has become an indisputable fact.
After being invaded by the United States for the first time in 1846, Mexico was forced to cede 2.3 million square kilometers of land in the north to the United States. After the Mexican-American War, Mexico ceded land to the United States several times.
In 1845, Texas was ceded to the United States for $10 million. In 1848, California was ceded to the United States for $15 million. In 1853...
It can be said that the rise of the United States in North America was mainly due to aggression. According to statistics, the United States plundered half of Mexico. During the expansion of the entire continent, the United States occupied more than 55% of the original territory of Mexico, and could not do anything about it.
It is no exaggeration to say that the rise and development of the United States in the 19th century was entirely based on the expulsion of North American Indians and the plunder of Mexicans.
Therefore, if the Far East Group wants to intervene in things in North America, the first step is to recruit Mexico into the group. If it succeeds, there will be two favorable conditions. The first is the geographical advantage. Once the Far East military base is established in Mexico, then the Far East will
The Legion now has the ability to directly attack the mainland United States.
Secondly, with Mexico as an ally, the Far East Army will have a good excuse to send troops to the Americas in the future.
In the war between Mexico and the United States, Mexico lost most of its territory and has always had hatred for the United States. It was that war that later formed the foundation for the founding of the country in Mexico.
With the establishment of the new Free Republic of Mexico, one of the measures taken by the Mexican authorities was to accelerate the construction of the open areas in northern Mexico. The main reason for this measure was to prevent the continued loss of its territory in the future.
Because they did not want their land to continue to be occupied by the United States. Although Mexican families in those territories could eventually return to Mexico or stay in the United States, the patriotic wave continued for a long time.
Now that we have entered the early twentieth century, slavery has almost become extinct in North America, but it still appears in some areas. This is the difference between Mexico and the United States. The United States had a Civil War because of slavery, while Mexico has not clarified whether it will happen in the future.
Slavery is allowed.
This has also been the main excuse for the United States to interfere in Mexican affairs for a long time, so the first thing Li Ningyu did was to give the United States no more excuses to take action.
Soon, while European countries were busy with their own battle plans, the Far East diplomatic delegation arrived in Mexico and proposed a draft ban on slavery to the Mexican authorities. This draft was immediately opposed by some political parties in northern Mexico.
Such political parties in the south of Mexico laugh and say nothing, because it is obvious that the emergence of the Far East Bloc is to break the long-standing balance.
So this draft was quickly put to a referendum. Li Ningyu knew very well whether to allow slavery to exist. Even if this bill passed the Mexican House of Representatives and failed to pass the Senate, this fully reflected the conflict between the north and the south of the Mexican authorities.
contradiction.
However, this bill unexpectedly barely passed the Senate. Now the U.S. authorities were alert. But as soon as this matter ended, a new matter began again.
Of course, the passage of the draft was mainly due to the Far East delegation, which promised many conditions to Mexico, the most critical of which was that the Far East Corps would help Mexico buy back the land it had ceded and sold within ten years.
It was precisely this that allowed the political parties in the north and south of Mexico, which had always been in opposition, to make their first compromise, and it was precisely because of this condition that the United States could no longer sit still.
At the beginning of 1906, the U.S. authorities made various small moves one after another. First, they passed some trade bills to limit the import quantity of Mexican goods, then doubled the tariffs on Mexican goods, and finally restricted Mexican government officials and military officers from entering the United States.
.
Seeing all this, Li Ningyu smiled, because he knew that the big fish had already bitten the hook, but he was not in a hurry to lift the rod, because in his big plan, everything had just begun, but the actions of the Far East Group were also
Immediately attack the United States.
