Between October and November

The game between the political forces of the world's great powers, the situation in North America is like a kaleidoscope, so fast that it is dazzling, beyond everyone's expectations, including the initiator.

The Ocean Empire came forward to preside over international mediation, and the peace talks between Japan and the United States hit it off. Both sides were eager to take advantage of this time to take a breather and consolidate the army and fight again in order to facilitate the war.

Even the bloody battle was too cruel. Not only the Fusang people, but also the Americans could not hold on.

The Ocean Empire quickly tightened its support to Japan, which made the Japanese side immediately feel that the cold winter was approaching, which was a cold and bone-broken chill.

Prime Minister Masato Tanuchi immediately led a delegation to visit Australia and embarked on a diplomatic journey aimed at eliminating the furious Ocean Empire. He made great efforts to restore the old harmonious relations between the two countries.

However, the peace talks are related to the fundamental interests of the Japanese side, and the Fusang people did not want to follow the baton of the Ocean Empire. The victory over the Americans gave them enough confidence and believed that they had enough strength to be respected by the Ocean Empire, so they were so desperate that they did not want to give in.

In fact

Prime Minister Masahi Shinai and his party were severely humiliated. This whirlwind visit was not received by the imperial emperor Li Fushou. At the Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Zhang Li personally met with Prime Minister Masahi Shinai who came to visit.

This official meeting became a world-famous diplomatic bullying incident because of the "Little Chair Incident" and has been permanently recorded in history.

According to large photos of the official meeting published in the newspaper;

Zhang Ligao, the Prime Minister of the Ocean Empire, sat in the upper head, and the ministers stood on the left and right sides of the desk, with a arrogant and rude expression, just like a group of superiors.

Prime Minister Masato of the Temple could only sit on the small chair opposite. The horizontal armrests of this small chair were only about 10 cm high in a circle, like a small stool, and were even shorter.

Sitting there as if it was a suspect on trial, we had to look up at the ministers of the Ocean Empire's cabinet in the upper head. The meaning of it was simply coming to our minds. Many people couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw it. It was so funny.

The Times published a large photo and reported it on the front page;

The Ocean Empire taught the disobedient Fusang people a lesson with an arrogant attitude. Even if the dog was covered in blood and exhausted, it still wanted to drive it to bite the United States wildly without leaving any sympathy.

This discomfortable situation once again shows;

Strength is the basis of all international dialogue. In front of the overlords of the Pacific region, the always aggressive Fusang people had to lower their stubborn heads and shake their tails to pray for a piece of flesh.

The British fully demonstrated their sarcastic characteristics in this news commentary. Considering that the Ocean Empire is constantly increasing troops to Europe, there is no gap at this critical moment.

News media in Britain, France, Italy and other countries surprisingly unified their choice to watch the fire from the other side of the river, but the arrogance, contempt and disdain filled the tone are filled with, which is the positioning of the United States and Japan.

These two countries can only be second-rate powers. As long as they do not overthrow the Ocean Empire in one day, their international status will never be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the European powers.

What a joke?

Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Austro-Hungary and other countries are all world-class powers that stand side by side with the Ocean Empire. How can Fusang, a timid international image in front of the Ocean Empire, be with us?

As for the United States, if you are beaten to death by the Fusang people, don’t mention it.

The Fusang people, who have always been very proud of their face, suffered this great humiliation and did not turn away completely. Instead, they chose to endure humiliation and ask for understanding.

no way

The Ocean Empire was so suffocating that it was stuck in Fusang's neck. People were under the eaves and had to bow their heads.

After the support policy was suddenly tightened, various bills flew like snowflakes. The cost of more than 100,000 Japanese wounded soldiers treated in North American states alone was as high as more than 37 million Jinyang, and the bill was growing at a rate of hundreds of thousands of Jinyang every day.

If the bill is not paid, there is no way to discuss subsequent treatment.

Originally, the Japanese side had just received a large loan of 85 million Jinyang, with 30% cash and 70% supplies. In peacetime, North American dispatched troops could support them for 4 to 5 months.

Now it's OK

After the huge medical bill that could have been delayed was released, all the cash was not enough to be invested, and the situation was immediately cut off.

In addition, there is the Republic of California, where fees in all aspects of the four North American states have soared. The Coast Guard and local police in North America have stepped up crackdowns on smuggling Japanese people and strictly investigated their passports.

Originally, many non-charged projects sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. What are the personnel transit tax, cargo inspection tax, dangerous goods storage fee, quarantine fee, personnel entry and stranding guarantee fee, port parking fee, pilotage fee, import goods entry tax, unboxing fee...

Let's say so, it's as numerous as a cow.

This greatly boosted the expenditure of Japanese people to immigrate to North America. The discounted passenger and freight transportation prices originally given by the Ocean Empire have now returned to normal, and many other fees have been charged.

As the most powerful immigrant country in the world today and the world's largest economic power, the Ocean Empire has the largest ocean immigrant ships and cruise ships in the world, and also has the largest merchant fleet in the world, with very strong ocean passenger and cargo transportation capabilities.

Without the support of the Ocean Empire, relying solely on the dozens of small ocean-breaking ships in Japan, not only has small tonnage and poor wind and wave resistance, but also has extremely limited transportation capacity. Even the logistics supply of the North American dispatched troops in Japan cannot be achieved, let alone trans-ocean immigration.

Most of Japan's ocean-going passenger and cargo ships are mainly one to two thousand tons, while 3 thousand tons are already a behemoth.

It is okay to sail to the Northern Shenzhou or the Korean Peninsula, but it can also undertake passenger and freight transportation tasks in the Yellow Sea. It is really too difficult to trans-ocean transportation. Under the harsh sea conditions of the Pacific Northern route, a wave will be overturned.

This is due to the transportation industry level determined by Japan's economic size and demand, and dragons cannot be raised in shallow pools.

As of the end of 15 years

In terms of foreign financial and trade, Fusang is a debtor country with a debt of 3.9 billion yen. It does not have the ability to export capital to the outside world. Instead, it is a foreign-invested country.

This period

The Ocean Empire dominated the capital, and there were also capital inputs from Britain, France and other countries in the national economy. Calculated according to the currency values ​​of each country, the cumulative value of foreign investment has exceeded 10 billion yen, which is the most important part of the Japanese economy.

In terms of trade, the total import and export volume of Fuso countries in 2014 and 2015 was less than 600 million yen, totaling less than 1.2 billion yen.

Such a trade scale and economic scale are about 1/12 of that of the Ocean Empire, and the gap is quite large.

It was precisely because of its prosperous overseas trade and huge economic scale that the Ocean Empire replaced the role of the United States in history and imported massive amounts of materials into Europe, thus creating the world's largest scale in the maritime industry.

The transcontinental ocean-going passenger cargo ships of the Ocean Empire generally range from more than 5,000 to 6,000 tons, and the tonnage of large cruise ships ranges from 12,000 to 15,000 tons, carrying many passengers, fast speed, new age, and strong transportation capacity.

The main fleet of ocean freighters is mainly bulk cargo ships, refrigerated ships and oil tankers. Large mineral sand freighters are generally between 30,000 and 40,000 tons, and both sides are not on the same level at all.

When the Ocean Empire strongly suppressed Japan, the minds of Britain, France and other countries changed again, which led to the resurgence of the situation in North America.

Due to geopolitical competition

Although Britain, France and other countries do not like to see the United States have a strong power, they do not want to see the yellow Fusang country beat the Americans to the point of urination, and they do not want to see the Ocean Empire quickly become stronger by taking advantage of the opportunity of the world war and form a dominant situation in the Pacific region.

Although they are ally of the Allies, they do not delay secretly making trouble.

For the above considerations

Britain, France and other countries have successively stopped supporting separatist forces in North America, and their policies have changed from "weakening the United States to strengthening the United States", and have instead supported the United States and betrayed the leaders of separatist forces that they once incited.

The 180-degree turnaround in European powers' policies caused considerable chaos in southern North America. Many leaders of separatist forces in the south were arrested and faced prosecution from federal courts.

So-called: Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation

Never thought

This instead aroused the huge rebellious mentality of the people in the south. Many people from the former neutral and swing class resolutely stood on the side of the separatist forces, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

The United States and Japan are fighting bloody storms in North America, and they are the first to bear the brunt of the brunt of the war. Who is the one who feels a huge threat?

It is the Republic of Texas with the strongest will to independence.

New Mexico is on the west side of Texas, and its northern border border border with Clorado and Kansas. Now it is full of newly conquered land by the Fuso people. The fierce and offensive Japanese troops posed a huge security threat to the Republic of Texas.

The western and northern borders of Texas are 2,640 kilometers adjacent to the Japanese-occupied area. On this long border line, there are no obstacles and the Gobi Deserts, and are sparsely populated.

Although bounded piles and barbed wire mesh distinguish the border line, this thing is to guard against gentlemen and villains.

During the 1st US-Japan War

The tough and warlike Texas Cowboys formed the army and increased the number of troops to 72,000, with 80% of the troops mainly gathering on the western border border border with New Mexico.

Now the Fusans defeated the Americans in a vain and occupied Colorado and Kansas one after another, forming a siege of the Republic of Texas from the west and north sides, forcing the Republic of Texas to urgently mobilize the Republic of Texas, import a large amount of weapons and equipment from the Ocean Empire, and increase the army to a scale of 160,000.

at the same time

The Republic of Texas, which has always advocated independent foreign policy, quickly submitted an application to join the Pacific Security Alliance, and was approved by member states at the 2nd Summit Forum to become a formal member of the Pacific Security Alliance.

Although it is not a core member, it is already a close member state.

Who wouldn't be frightened when you meet a neighbor like Fusang?

What is the difference between the core members of the Pacific Security Alliance and the ordinary members?

The security of core members is fully guaranteed by the Ocean Empire, but in terms of diplomacy, military, economic and trade policies, it must be consistent with the Ocean Empire, and allow the establishment of military bases to advance and retreat together when encountering foreign invasion. This is a passive military alliance.

The Republic of California, Ryukyu, Yue Kingdom, and Lan Fang are all core member states and have common military defense nature.

The only exception is the Republic of Virginia. After the Wool War, the Ocean Empire stationed a large number of troops in the Republic of Virginia, and Britain, France, Italy and other countries also had a small number of troops to jointly ensure the security of the country. This is a post-war arrangement.

But the Republic of Virginia is just an ordinary member of the Pacific Security Union, maintaining considerable independence in military, diplomatic and economic policies, and moving closer to the British and French in terms of emotion.

that is

When core member states invade others, they will not touch the common defense clause. If you want to do it, do it, and others will not endorse it for you.

Non-core member states do not have these constraints. Similarly, the Ocean Empire does not guarantee that its territory will not be violated. At most, when it is invaded by foreign countries, it will put pressure, condemn, negotiate, and even implement economic blockades through the Pacific Security Alliance forum. It does not involve military areas, but is more of a guarantee of diplomatic and economic means.

This is the case in Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, and Thailand. It is an ordinary member, and the same is true in the Republic of Texas.

The so-called "close member states" are just like that. It sounds pretty good. Before the relevant covenant is officially signed, you will count nothing.

President Borgkamp Payton of the Republic of Texas is very self-aware that once the Japanese invade, he will not be able to help the Pacific Security Alliance at all.

At most, strong condemnation of the country of Fusang is ordered to return to the wrong path, and not to go further and further on the wrong path.

Then, there is nothing...

The Republic of Texas does not want to join a close circle, and also wants to enjoy the military protection of the Ocean Empire, and does not want to give anything. How can such a good thing happen in the world?

However, among the people of the Republic of Texas, which have strong independence, they are extremely sensitive to signing alliance agreements that have lost some of their sovereignty. If you don’t want to commit suicide politically, it’s best not to touch it.

The rude and irritable Texas Red Neck, no matter what your reason is, you dare to sign such a humiliating agreement, and you will be shot by a cowboy when you go out.
