The Rise of Australia

Chapter 581 Game between Britain and France

Although he changed his decision-making, Prime Minister Baldwin also had certain intentions in his choice.

Why choose to support Australasia’s inland expansion into the Persian Gulf instead of supporting the Australasian conspiracy in El Salvador?

Although it seems that there are many large-scale indigenous peoples in the interior of the Persian Gulf, it is more difficult than El Salvador, which has a population of just over 1 million.

But the question is, who cares about the interests of the indigenous people? Compared with the indigenous people, the interests of a recognized independent country, El Salvador, are greater than the interests of the indigenous people. It is still somewhat difficult for Australasia to occupy El Salvador without the support of the British Empire.

The change in the Prime Minister's attitude satisfied everyone, and the cabinet almost unanimously agreed to the policy towards Australasia.

With the support of Australasia, everything will be easier to handle.

Prime Minister Baldwin turned his attention back to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and said with a very strong attitude: "As one of the permanent members of the World Alliance, the British Empire has the responsibility, obligation, and necessity to protect all countries around the world.

Although Nicaragua is not a member of the World Alliance, it is very close to the Panama Canal, which is related to the peace of the entire Central America and even the world.

I think the World Alliance has an obligation to fulfill its responsibility as an international peace force, intervene in the Nicaraguan civil war, and ensure peace in Central America and the entire world. "

Any rhetoric is not important. What is important is Prime Minister Baldwin's attitude, which is to be tough on the United States, even at the risk of war.

With Prime Minister Baldwin's order, the British government began to operate, calling for an emergency meeting of the World Alliance to discuss how to deal with the ongoing Nicaraguan civil war.

The United States did not know about the British actions, but the new U.S. President Coolidge was very angry about the civil war in Nicaragua and had even decided to intervene directly with force.

As the closest power to Central American countries, the United States still has relatively strong control over many Central American countries.

Including but not limited to establishing military bases, establishing good diplomatic relations with local countries, and even forming joint companies to control the economies of these countries, etc.

For the United States, Central America is more of a back garden than a back garden. It is like a newly bought car or a newly married wife. Others will not be allowed to desecrate it at all.

Not to mention blasphemy, I can't even take a look at it.

It was with this purpose in mind, and with the American people expressing concern about the new president and the new government, in order not to follow in the footsteps of President Wilson, President Coolidge announced his order on the second day of the Nicaraguan Civil War: "Use the military to intervene in the Nicaraguan civil war!"

It is not surprising that the United States used military force to intervene, because the civil war in Nicaragua was originally a war launched by Augusto to oppose the US occupation of Nicaragua.

One side of this war is the military base established by the United States in Nicaragua, and the participants in the war are the US military bases.

If the U.S. government doesn't take any tough action, it wouldn't be the U.S. government.

However, Nicaragua is not united. The country can be roughly divided into two forces, one is more submissive to American rule, and the other is more opposed to American rule.

This is also a contradiction that these small and medium-sized countries often face. There are differences between people, political parties, and forces.

However, the one who currently has the clear advantage is undoubtedly the army led by Augusto to resist the United States.

Describing the tactics adopted by Augusto gave Americans a headache, which was the famous guerrilla tactics.

Of course, Augusto's guerrilla tactics also have some differences. Because Americans are very densely distributed in Nicaragua, most of them are gathered near military bases.

This also makes August's tactics very simple, which is to ambush the transportation team heading to the US military base, or attack the small patrol team.

The combat literacy of the U.S. military is relatively poor among the major powers. The time it participated in World War I was relatively short, and the military did not receive a good baptism.

Especially these American soldiers stationed in US military bases overseas, because they usually do not encounter much resistance, both patrols and daily training are relatively loose, and they do not appear to be an elite army at all.

This also resulted in the attack led by Augusto achieving great success in a short period of time, causing huge casualties to the American army.

Just a few days after the war broke out, the U.S. military hunkered down at the military base and did not even go out. Even the convoys transporting supplies were cancelled.

Although the relatively well-defended military base leaves Augusto with no recourse, these American soldiers will also face a more serious problem, that is, they will not be able to get in at all.

Although the military base usually has food and reserve supplies, it will never last long.

This also means that before the supplies are exhausted, if they cannot receive assistance from the United States, these American soldiers will either be captured or starve to death.

Due to various pressures, the American army stationed in Nicaragua frantically sent telegrams to the country, requesting assistance from the United States.

There has also been heated discussion in the United States about this civil war, and many American media have even commented: "This is a huge setback for the United States in the 20th century."

President Coolidge, who had just taken office, was also met with huge doubts. People compared him with former President Wilson and called him the sinner who made the United States regress.

Although the public's heated discussion did not substantially harm the government, it made the ambitious President Coolidge very angry and further stimulated President Coolidge's confidence in eliminating the Nicaraguan villains.

From President Coolidge's point of view, the public's suspicions did not matter now. As long as this civil war can be ended in a short period of time and all anti-American forces in Nicaragua are eliminated, it will prove that the United States is still strong under his rule. The United States' backwardness is President Wilson's business and has nothing to do with him.

With this in mind, President Coolidge began urging American troops.

The navy also began to mobilize frequently, ready to assemble to the coastal areas of Nicaragua at any time.

1 World Alliance Headquarters, regular meeting.

"Gentlemen and ladies! Nicaragua is fighting a just war. We cannot tolerate any country's aggression against a normal sovereign country. I propose that the World Alliance should intervene in the Nicaraguan civil war with arms to protect the tranquility of every sovereign country in the world. ." At the beginning of the meeting, the British representative gave an impassioned speech, which directly brought the meeting to the topic.

"You are right. The original intention of the World Alliance is to protect all sovereign countries around the world. Nicaragua's independent sovereignty is recognized by the world. As a world-wide peace coalition, I think we should fully respect it and try our best to Guarantee Nicaragua’s independence. If any country wants to interfere with Nicaragua’s independence, it will be a heavy harm to world peace and to all the countries here.” The representative of Australasia also stood up and pretended He replied very righteously.

The two countries have already reached an agreement, and Australasia's stand up to support the United States is also a matter of negotiation.

As expected, after the two great powers directly expressed their stance, even small and medium-sized countries that were unwilling to participate had to carefully consider their attitudes.

Small and medium-sized countries that favor France have turned their attention to the French representatives, waiting for their speeches and decisions.

"It is true that Nicaragua is an independent country, but we don't seem to have any reason to interfere in the civil war of an independent country, right?" the French representative asked.

France's interests in the Pacific have been greatly reduced, and it has no interest in using force to intervene in the civil wars in Central American countries.

This would not do France any good, because Britain would not allow France to obtain a piece of land in Central America, and would instead offend the United States.

What's more, this is obviously something that the British have already planned, and the French are even more unwilling to let the British achieve their goals.

The strength of Britain is not a good thing for France. The stronger Britain is, the lower France's hope of dominating Europe.

In any case, finding a delicate balance between Britain and the United States is what the French want to do.

It can not offend the British and Americans, but can also limit the development of the United Kingdom. That is simply the perfect answer.

"That is not the case." The British representative retorted: "If this is really a civil war within Nicaragua, we really have no reason to interfere. But the problem is that this war is a war between the righteous independent forces of Nicaragua and some evil countries , we should think more about the attitude of Nicaraguans rather than the impact of our intervention."

"Gentlemen and ladies! Have you forgotten the behavior of the United States during the influenza? I don't think this is a friendly country, and I don't think the U.S. troops stationed in Nicaragua are for the good of Nicaragua. As the most powerful country in the Americas, Because what the United States should do more is respect the independence and sovereignty of all countries in the Americas, rather than relying on its own strength and influence to achieve its own goals." The World Alliance does not have the participation of the United States, and the British representative is the most powerful in the World Alliance As a country, naturally you can say whatever you want.

With the support of Australasia, the opposition of France, a permanent member of the Security Council, has no effect.

Besides, even if the French objected, it would not affect Britain's armed intervention in the Nicaraguan civil war.

The main force for armed intervention is definitely not the small and medium-sized countries in the World Alliance. The reason why the British representative raised this issue in the World Alliance is just to seek an attitude from these small and medium-sized countries.

Transforming the reasons for their own armed intervention into the legitimate reasons for the world alliance is the British purpose and the current plan of the British.
