North America, Washington City, the capital of Eagle Sauce.
After the military minister of the Eagle Kingdom officially submitted Eagle's protest against the Gauls' military actions in the Hans Kingdom to the Gallic government, only one day later, the Gauls responded.
On September, Gaul officially announced that it would cease military operations in the southern region of Hans and withdraw its troops to the Saar region.
While the international community was surprised and puzzled by this attitude of the Gauls, in North America, far away from Europe, the Eagles calmly discovered something fishy in the Gauls' decision.
"Someone must have intervened!"
Faced with the Gauls' sudden decision to withdraw their troops, Yingjiang was actually a little confused. At this time, only a very few clear-headed people could see through the essence of the matter.
And President Will is obviously such a person!
"Mr. President, if, as you suspect, it is indeed the sun that sets the sun to intervene, what does this mean to us?"
Qing Guowu frowned and asked the president
"This means that the time has come for us to intervene in European affairs and support Hans!"
In fact, after hearing the news that the Gauls sent troops to the south of Hans, the Eagles couldn't sit still. The reason why the sun never sets is out of the perspective of maintaining the balance of power on the European continent, and they are not happy to see the people on the European continent. The emergence of a hegemon-level existence, and Yingjiang did not want the Gauls to destroy Hans out of their own interests and international strategic considerations.
For Yingjiang, they had been alone before the First World War. Overseas, far away from the European continent, so its presence in the mainstream world is not strong. Europeans generally do not recognize Yingjiang. Most Europeans hold the idea that Yingjiang is a backward barbarian, but for the First World War. If the countries are exhausted and need help from Yingjiang, they may not change their attitude towards Yingjiang.
The biggest benefit that participating in World War I brings to Yingjiang is to expand their voice in Europe and the entire world, allowing those in Europe to do so. The old powers are aware of Yingjiang's strength.
However, judging from the results of the Iron Tower City Peace Conference, Yingjiang's international influence at this time is still not as good as that of the old powers like Gaul.
Yes: Both countries have a large number of colonies.
They have complete control over these colonies.
They can regard these colonies as their own private areas.
They do not allow outsiders to interfere at all.
They can dump the products produced in their own countries to the colonies as they like.
There is no need to do so.
Worried about counterattacks from the colonies.
As a veteran world hegemon, the Sun Never Sets Empire has tens of millions of square kilometers of colonies. Not to mention this, the Gauls are not as powerful as the Sun Never Sets, but they also have a large number of people. Colonies.
The Yingjiang people became independent relatively late, catching up with the good times when countries were colonizing the world, so by the time they came to an end, the good places in the world had been divided up.
The Yingjiang people could barely recover from their previous downfall.
The world overlord Ban Ya only grabbed two colonies.
However, these two places are small in size and have very small populations.
They cannot sell many goods at all, so their colonies cannot be compared with those of Britain and France as new countries!
The country that rose to prominence in the Jin Dynasty was the Second Empire.
The country that was in a similar situation to Yingjiang was the Second Empire.
Both of these countries were emerging powers that emerged rapidly after the second industrial revolution.
However, they both failed to develop because they developed relatively late.
Catching up with the good times, when they developed, they found that their industrial products could not be sold.
The world was already surrounded by colonial countries like Britain and France, and it was impossible for their products to be sold to the colonies of Britain and France and other countries!
Facing the monopoly of the early overlords, they naturally had to rise up to resist, but the methods they chose were completely different.
In order to pursue their own interests, the Second Empire took the lead and launched a world war, not hesitate to use force to break the monopoly of Britain and France.
As a result, the war provoked by the Second Empire gave Yingjiang an excellent opportunity. Instead of provoking a war, they joined the side of the old overlords. Together with the two old overlords, Britain and France, they defeated the Second Empire, and then they were full of expectations. Participated in the spoils-sharing meeting in Iron Tower City.
As a result, Yingjiang came excitedly, but returned disappointed. The attitudes of Britain and France on the matter of dividing the spoils were very consistent. They directly excluded Yingjiang from the party and secretly took the initiative. The colonies in Africa between the two empires were divided!
This was a good time.
Although Eagle Sauce used this war to expand its international influence and made Europeans realize the powerful national power of Eagle Sauce, they failed to take advantage of this opportunity to open up the commodity market.
The colonies of the Second Empire became The colonies of Britain and France will continue to be open only to Britain and France, and will not be opened to Eagle Sauce at all.
The Second Empire, which was originally a good trade partner, was beaten to death at this time, and its purchasing power was greatly reduced.
This made Eagle Sauce another Lost a potential buyer!
Together, these results mean that Yingjiang's demands have not been met, and they must use other means to break the British and French colonial system!
Although Yingjiang is full of confidence in its own strength, they are not stupid. The Second Empire, which had previously jumped out to oppose established powers such as Britain and France, is not much worse than Yingjiang in terms of strength. Even because of their strong military strength, they have been from To some extent, the Second Empire is even more powerful than Eagle Sauce.
However, when such a powerful country challenged Britain and France, didn't it still get slapped to death by Britain and France?
Although it is said that Eagle Sauce played a little role in killing the Second Empire, even if they did not contribute, the result should not change much. After all, Britain and France can suck blood from the colonies, but the Second Empire cannot suck blood. The two have different tolerances for war.
Since it would be unwise and risky to stand up and directly challenge the British and French colonial systems, what should Eagle Sauce do?
The answer is to keep using the Hans!
The World War I Eagle Sauce gained international influence only because Hans risked his own life and provoked the world war, which gave them this opportunity. And Hans, who failed in the first challenge, if he regains his national strength in the future, In order to survive and develop, they are very likely to continue to stand up and challenge the British and French colonial order.
As long as something like this happens, then for Yingjiang, their best opportunity will appear!
The First World War had already exhausted Britain and France and caused them to decline a lot. If there was another more intense World War II, old Europe would decline even more. A large number of wealthy people and capitalists in Europe would definitely People are rushing to flock to this safe place in North America!
At that time, North America can watch the war from afar and sell weapons to both sides of the war to make a lot of war profits. At the same time, North America can also take the opportunity to absorb European funds and take the opportunity to strengthen itself.
When the fight in Europe is almost done, they will go off to reap the fruits of victory. At that time, no matter which side Eagle Sauce joins, Britain and France, who are exhausted from fighting in Europe, will definitely not be able to keep their colonies!
At that time, as long as Yingjiang uses some tricks, he can easily resolve the opponent's colonial system!
This strategy was provided to him by President Will's think tank. If things develop as predicted by his think tank, then the next world war will be the time when Eagle Sauce rises and even dominates the world. Got it!
In this strategy, the most important thing is the European support point, which is the Hans Kingdom!
As long as the country of Hans does not fall and can quickly recover its strength, the risk of the next war in Europe will increase with the recovery of Hans' strength!
The Gauls could work hard for fifty years to avenge the disastrous defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, so why couldn't the Hansites work hard for twenty years to avenge their defeat in the First World War?
Therefore, in order to realize his strategy, Eagle Sauce must not let Hans fall!
President Will didn't know that the person who provided him with this strategy was actually the Gestapo's secret spy in North America, codenamed Butterfly!
