Chapter 970

The so-called: It is difficult to be a poor family.

President Woodrow Wilson's presidency for more than three years is like a firefighter. He has been demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall to maintain the operation of the federal government. His life is extremely difficult, so he has always regretted his decision to run for president...

In September 1908, Democrat Wolson was in full swing. When he won the Democratic states and became the only presidential candidate, the news of the defeat in the Battle of Hawaii was revealed, and he could no longer retreat at that time.

When the final results of the presidential election were announced, Wolold Wilson won the election, and the news of the Seattle Battle was revealed. He could only pay attention to the battle situation ahead at any time, and plan for how to deal with difficult situations after taking office as president.

By early February 1909, the new president had not yet taken office, and President Theodore Roosevelt had completely ruined the American Navy and wiped out the entire battle in Tierra del Fuego. What was left to President Woodrow Wilson was a mess.

If you want to be wronged, who can be more wronged than him?

"Gentlemen, are there any other problems?" President Wollowed Wilson asked in a tone of a broken can. There was too much bad news and he didn't expect to hear any good news now.

National Security Advisor Adam Smith looked at Secretary of State Davenport, White House Chief of Staff Foster and Treasury Henry with an inquiring look, and saw that they were both unintentional to speak.

Then he pondered for a moment and organized his language and said;

"It's such a President. The Colorado National Guard continues to be in conflict with Japan in the border area. It has been two years since then, and the two sides have been in constant conflict.

Last week, the border patrol team arrested three Fusang spies and hanged them after a brief interrogation, which greatly angered the Japanese side.

In order to retaliate, they sent a platoon-level armed force to cross-border attack the patrol cavalry team in Brolin Town, causing serious consequences of 11 people killed and seven seriously injured.

The commander of Brolin Town immediately gathered militias to pursue the battle on horseback, and fierce battle broke out in an unknown valley. In this battle, 28 enemy soldiers were killed and wounded, and only less than ten people fled.

Now the situation in Colorado's frontline has suddenly become tense, and it is possible to face a large-scale conflict or even... a war.

Lieutenant General Buffon hopes to launch a assault war to remove Japanese forces from the border areas in one fell swoop. As long as the war mobilization is carried out, Colorado and surrounding states are confident that they can win, repel the provocations of the Japanese army and recover lost territory.

We had a discussion with the Army Department before and believed that there was still a high chance of winning the war. Now the only concern is that the Oceanic Imperialists intervene..."

Adam Smith said, and several other people in the Oval Office nodded silently to agree, even President Woodrow Wilson, nodded, "Adam, this is the problem. We cannot bypass the Ocean Imperialists to launch military operations."

He sighed deeply, with a constipated expression.

The other people looked at each other, but they were speechless.

Today's US government is not a country with complete autonomy. Its military capabilities are severely castrated and restricted, and the customs are controlled by the syndicate. If you have some financial money, you must take it out for compensation as soon as possible.

Post-war reconstruction and industrial recovery rely entirely on the power of the people. During the war, a large number of American banks went bankrupt, which brought the best opportunity to the crazy expansion of the Ocean Empire's capital. They merged banks on a large scale, invested in leading enterprises in various industrial fields, purchased real estate and commercial buildings, docks and mines in golden blocks, in an attempt to control the United States economically.

Among them, Royal Fund has the biggest move and the deepest invasion.

The tide of various commodities from the Ocean Empire quickly occupied the market with extremely high cost-effectiveness advantages, from cigarettes to cars, from milk candies to cans, from cashmere sweaters to wool socks, bicycles, radios, and ready-to-wear, almost everything was included.

The Chinese capital, which had just been expelled after the outbreak of the war, made a comeback, with a more intense and shocking momentum than before.

Faced with this situation, the White House can do nothing.

Because the United States implements free capitalism similar to Britain, and pursues the principles of small government and large society. Everything depends on free competition for social capital. The government does not interfere much, and will only take action against trust monopoly companies that restrict competition and decide whether it is illegal through the court.

In general, there is healthy competition in the economic field, the government has no right to intervene.

After losing the powerful tool of customs, the North American market has really become a free competition market and is flooded by waves of commodity tides.

On the streets of big cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Chicago, Chinese businessmen often see riding in luxury cars, hugging their charming white girlfriends and whistling away, full of nouveau riche faces and extremely arrogant and domineering attitude.

However, the US government cannot afford to offend, and the local police station cannot afford to offend, so they can only treat it as if they didn't see it.

Since the beginning of this year, there have been more than a dozen Chinese businessmen assaults, especially the one in Chicago, which has the greatest impact.

More than 10 local gang members beat the wealthy Chinese businessman, his girlfriend and two bodyguards into sieves, and blood splattered on the streets, causing great anger to the Ocean Empire Consulate and publicly declared, "If you cannot see substantial crackdown on vicious crimes, the Empire will not mind doing it on your behalf."

Under tremendous pressure, the Chicago police had to dispatch all personnel to carry out plowing and sweeping local gangs. During the operation, 327 gangsters were arrested and 22 stubborn resisters were killed. The action was so powerful that it caused a sensation in the European and American public opinion circles.

The British Times said sarcastically, "The Americans no longer mind showing their fears. As long as they can win the favor of the Chinese, they are willing to stick out their butts and kiss the uppers of those nouveau riche..."

The Ocean Empire World Journal reported; "The vicious injury of Chinese merchants in Chicago shocked the world. The local police took decisive and powerful measures to crack down on local gangs, effectively safeguarding the dignity of the law and comforting the victims' spirits in heaven..."

The New York Times reported; "The Chicago police's efforts to clean up the gangsters are so powerful that they are equivalent to a small-city war, which greatly cleanses the security environment. While bringing benefits to Chicago residents, it also brings a question... Do they only do this for Chinese businessmen?"

After a while in the Oval Office, the White House Chief of Staff Foster coughed twice, and some words were hard to say to the President, so he could only do it; "Gentlemen, I think I should consult the opinions of the Ocean Kingdom through diplomatic channels to avoid misjudgment."

"If you sell Alaska to them, then everything will be fine." Secretary of State Davin Porter muttered.

Madon, this is hard to answer.

The Ocean Empire likes to pay for land, which is well known. This trick is based on American studies. Now, people who play with the best of their own are better than their own.

In some informal occasions in the upper class of Philadelphia, diplomats from the Ocean Empire intentionally or unintentionally revealed their tone and asked whether the US was interested in selling an enclave in Alaska, located in the Pacific?

The British also mixed up and expressed their willingness to buy, hoping to merge Alaska and Canadian territory, which may eventually require Canadian government spending.

But after the Ocean Empire expressed its willingness to bid $120 million, the British stopped.

Hell, that barren land with ice and snow is not worth $120 million no matter how you look at it.

The Americans bought the enclave for only more than $6 million. In the late 19th century, gold mines were discovered in the Yukon region, which attracted a large-scale gold rush.

To this day

The gold mines were almost all hunted. A large number of gold diggers left because of the extremely harsh local environment. In the end, only more than 10,000 people settled here. Many of them were Russian whites, who were born with a cold environment.

Apart from the advantage of being a big local area, Alaska is useless. No matter what others think, the British will definitely look down on it.

Is Greenland, the world's largest island, very close to Europe, big?

Greenland is much larger than Alaska because it is in the Arctic Circle covered with ice and snow all year round, with extremely cold temperatures, with only two or three thousand permanent residents, and mainly Eskimos, the British were not interested at all.

Regarding the bid of the Ocean Empire, the British could only say that MMP is not purely price gouging?

The United States has never commented on this. President Woodrow Wilson does not want to sell Alaska at all. America will not have such shallow eyes, with more than 100 million US dollars. Isn’t that a prodigal son to sell the territory that the founding predecessors have recovered through hardships?

The US federal government is so poor that it is so rich in the people!

Let’s take a step back... The federal government is now carrying more than 13 billion US dollars in debt. What can this more than 100 million US dollars do?

It's a drop in the bucket!

The Ocean Empire has always had an ambiguous attitude on the New Mexico region issue. It neither said it supports Japan nor the United States, but said in a diplomatic tone;

We hope that Japan and the United States will exchange views sincerely and frankly in accordance with the principle of mutual benefit and win-win results, eliminate differences, and contribute to regional security and stability with a constructive attitude.

You said... Can the differences on the New Mexico issue be eliminated?

Isn't this just pure nonsense?

Nonsense is nonsense, neither Japan nor the United States dares to ignore the opinions of the Ocean Empire. Conflict is conflict, neither of the two companies dares to start a war first because the boss did not speak!

The problem is that simple. The Ocean Empire has hoarded 260,000 heavy troops in Utah and the Salt Lake City Fortress, which is the dark clouds shrouded in Japan and the United States. No one can avoid the Ocean Empire on the issue of New Mexico.

The Fuso government's situation is even more difficult because New Mexico is inland and has no seaports. The road to the west to the Republic of Texas is completely closed. The Texas cowboys are not easy to talk to, they look down on Fuso people very much, and they will not help Fuso people.

Japan and the United States confronted each other, and the road leading north to Colorado was completely closed.

More than 550 kilometers of road from Los Angeles on the west coast of North America to Abuqueki, an important city in New Mexico, is the lifeline of the entire New Mexico region. Immigration and a continuous stream of materials are transported in through this road.

The Port of Los Angeles and the surrounding large warehouses are controlled by the Ocean Empire Capital. The Republic of California is the younger brother of the Ocean Empire and has joined the Pacific Security Alliance. As long as the boss is unhappy, it can cut off this lifeline at any time.

There is no need to fight any war at all, and the 300,000 Fusom people in New Mexico will be ruined.

The more immigrants, the more dependent they will be on this only lifeline.
