Chapter 1130： Borrow (1/2)
On the other side of the ocean, as the second member of the Ocean Alliance, the United States has been extremely lively recently, and the question of whether to send troops to participate in the war has been completely quarrelsome.
Not only are members of Congress divided into factions and quarreling, but the people are also divided into several factions. With the help of the media, it has become the hottest topic in American society.
After all, the parties reluctantly reached an agreement. As the news of the London bombing arrived, everyone quarreled again.
After exhausting all his efforts, he finally calmed the crowd, but the bad news of the Malacca naval battle came again.
After a series of bad news, Theodore Roosevelt was about to collapse. If the president of the United States is not good enough, the domestic position has never been unified.
The United States was born out of Britain, and British and American capital is a piece of cake in the true sense, and interests urge the United States to stand on the side of the British.
As for the Holy Roman Empire, it is an alien of the capitalist world. Although it is also attributed to a capitalist country, what is playing internally is nationalism.
There are a lot of various restrictive conditions, and the bourgeoisie is suppressed to death. In particular, the management of financial capital has become more stringent, even to the point of harshness.
If the Holy Roman Empire wins the war, and the Shenluo model dominates the world, it will definitely be a disaster for the capital world.
If it were not for the interests to be too much involved, the British had been fooled aboard the ship early. With Britain's performance on the battlefield, Roosevelt would not have lost the British for playing.
But the reality is cruel, the United States is too deeply influenced by Britain. Both political culture and economic industry are tied to the British.
After World War II, the Americans were able to smoothly take over Britain's world hegemony. It was these interest groups that led to it.
I have to admit that the British have a strong influence these years, and while wooing the United States, they can even stabilize the alliance.
If it were not for the deep hatred between the North and the South, it is estimated that the two countries could even appear in the same trench.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the indulgence of the Vienna government.
The more allies are not the better. In choosing allies, besides the same interests, the responsibilities and influences arising therefrom must also be considered.
The power of the Holy Roman Empire in the Americas is okay to defend its colonies. It is obviously impossible to provide security to allies.
Under the influence of Franz, the pragmatic Vienna government has never done anything beyond its own capabilities.
Winning allies in America, where its own strength is weak, naturally proceeded quietly. Anyway, it's all rounded up. When cannon fodder is not enough, there is no need for these countries to rise up before the situation is uncertain.
The real significance of wooing allies lies in the construction of the post-war international situation. It is obviously better to have allies to cooperate from it than to directly force it. For the hegemony, the younger brother is better.
President Roosevelt asked with concern: ”Has the expert panel's assessment results come out? How big is the chance of the British winning?”
In my heart, I was more inclined to the British. In this war, the United States was also supporting Britain, but Roosevelt still had no idea about the victory of this war.
There is no way. The divided United States is definitely not a 3-1=2 problem. When it comes to comprehensive national strength, it is at most half of the original time and space and the same period, and the industrial strength is particularly weakened.
Even if the United Kingdom and the United States combined, there is still a qualitative gap with the Holy Roman Empire. The only advantage is probably that, nominally, the Ocean Alliance covers a wider territory, more population, and more abundant resources.
But war is not only about territory, population and resources. It will take a long time for these things to be converted into military strength.
Otherwise, the population of British India alone would be almost the same as the entire Continental Alliance; the territory and resources controlled by the Ocean Alliance far surpass the Continental Alliance.
If it were not for low conversion efficiency, this war should be leaning towards the Ocean Alliance, and Britain would not be suppressed by the Holy Roman Empire.
Secretary of State Castro replied with a serious look: ”The current situation is very bad, and the situation is developing in a direction that is not good for us.
Before the war broke out, the expert team evaluated that the Ocean Alliance had a chance of winning as high as 86.7%; after the London bombing, it dropped by 10%; after the results of the Malacca naval battle came, the expert team reduced it again by 20%.
It seems that the Ocean League still has a higher chance of winning, but this is the most ideal state. We have to be in an extraordinary situation.
For example: the Russians sent troops to India, or the fall of the Cape of Good Hope, the fall of British East Africa, the fall of the Indochina Peninsula, and the occupation of Persia by the Shenluo Army.
Frankly speaking, I very much doubt the combat effectiveness of the British Army. If there is no external force involved, they may not be able to stop the enemy's front with their strength. ”
Although the World War broke out, Britain and the Holy Roman Empire were the only ones who actually participated in the war. At most, Japan and the Russian Empire would be brought along. The rest of the participating countries were all in the preparation stage.
As the situation took a turn for the worse, the British government naturally wanted to pull allies to end. As the number two country of the alliance, the United States must take concrete actions.
After pausing for a cup of coffee, Roosevelt said fiercely: ”If this is the case, then find a way to help the British keep the site.
There may be a way out for other countries, but we cannot. The hostility of the Vienna government towards us is no longer a day or two.
Since the beginning of the Civil War, they have not given up their suppression of us. Now everyone has declared war to each other, but they will not give up whenever there is an opportunity to weaken us. ”
In fact, the suppression of the United States since the Civil War has not only come from the Holy Roman Empire. Many European countries have participated in it. The difference lies in the degree of suppression.
Including restrictions on the influx of immigrants, blockades on high-tech technology, and unequal treatment in trade.
It was not until the establishment of the free trade system that the United States became a European commodity dumping market, and the political life was a little easier.
The deep-seated reason everyone knows is that the chosen country is too rich and has too much development potential, which has aroused the envy and jealousy of European countries.
In order to change this passive situation, the Washington government naturally moved closer to Britain, which is from the same source. It just so happened that the British were also squeezed out of the European world, and the two sides hit it off.
Regardless of how the international situation changes, the internal causes of the Holy Roman Empire's suppression of the United States exist, and this has become a problem that the US government must face squarely.
...
The blood-red sunset is gradually fading, the plane is still hovering in the sky, the artillery is still roaring on the ground, and the overwhelming sound of killing seems to tear the entire world.
Putting down the telescope, Grand Duke Friedrich sighed.
After a day of fighting, thousands of casualties were paid, only to advance the position by less than a mile.
Facing the declining Persian Empire, it is obviously not satisfactory to only play such a record.
There is no way, the enemy has been prepared. Caught between the three great gangsters of Britain, Russia and Austria, which day of the Persian Empire is in fear.
