Chapter 691 The meeting of the three giants (34 updates)

It is safer to leave matters to parliament to decide, and it also prevents the government from taking the blame for anything. {What? You don’t know yet | Read COM, read the chapter without errors | Google it now} But it also has a huge disadvantage, that is, anything discussed in the parliament will be widely circulated, and it is impossible to maintain relative confidentiality.

In other words, maybe the British Parliament has just begun to vote on whether to go to war with the United States, and the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom will receive the news and then contact the United States urgently to prepare.

Such a situation is simply impossible to avoid. After all, there are many people in the parliament and it is impossible for any country to completely maintain confidentiality.

Before submitting the proposal to Parliament, the British government urgently contacted many countries to confirm their opinions.

Among them, the most important ones for the UK are France and Australasia. These two countries are also the countries with the strongest alliances in the world besides the UK.

Arthur would naturally not object to such an action, because Australasia could also gain unexpected gains.

Especially after the enemy the United States has been eliminated, the remaining island countries no longer pose a threat, and Australasia's Pacific hegemony is basically doomed.

The attitude of the French is ambiguous. They are neither opposed to fighting the United States, but they are not that enthusiastic either.

After all, although the French can also obtain considerable benefits, the United States is Britain's biggest competitor, not France's competitor.

It was the British who gained the most from eliminating the United States. It was the same for the French, and they were even more unable to resist British rule in Europe.

But France will not oppose Britain launching a war against the United States, let alone stand on the opposite side of Britain like the American War of Independence.

Not to mention that there is currently a huge gap in strength between France and Britain. The public anger caused by the flu alone has determined that there will not be too many allies in this war.

The United States has offended almost every country in the world during the flu, and the suspension of compensation payments has brought back the old story of the flu.

If Britain uses this incident as a breakthrough to launch a war against the United States, can the French still fight against the entire Europe?

For the French government, if a war breaks out between Britain and the United States, France will immediately join the British side and exchange more achievements for more generous benefits.

Rather than letting Britain and Australasia carve up the United States, France hopes to participate in the carving up of the United States, at least not to let the gap between Britain and France widen.

As for the life and death of Americans, France has ignored it. The current United States cannot be saved by simply saving it, unless the French are willing to lose most of their interests and devote the entire country to helping the Americans.

But it's a pity that the founding fathers of the United States didn't always have it. After all, there aren't that many fools.

France's help to the United States may allow the United States to maintain its independence, but the price is definitely something France cannot afford.

The French still understand the principle that a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist. In the context of the economic crisis, of course they are the first to protect their own interests.

1In an inconspicuous residential house in London, England.

This small place gathered important representatives from several countries, including British Chancellor of the Exchequer Churchill, French Minister of Justice and War Louis Bardot, Australasian European Royal Affairs Director David, and Australasian Ambassador to the United Kingdom. John et al.

The real purpose of the meeting between these people, apart from jointly discussing whether to fight the United States, was also to share the spoils after the possible war.

As long as it is a large-scale war and there are many participating countries, it is necessary to divide the spoils in advance.

To put it bluntly, there must be various interests behind the war, and interests are also the most attractive thing.

If it is not agreed upon in advance and divided up, the end of the war will mean the coming of another war.

For the three countries of Britain, France and Australia, which can almost determine the situation of the entire world alliance, these three countries secretly carve up the United States, which actually represents the direction of the situation in the United States after the war.

Under the leadership of these three countries, small countries have no room to resist, not even the Americans. ͓̽u͓̽x͓̽.͓̽c͓̽o͓̽m͓̽

One characteristic can be seen from the candidates from the three countries, that is, those participating in this meeting are basically the main militants of each country.

Needless to say, Churchill, France's Minister of Justice and War, Louis, was also a radical and militant member of the military.

David, the manager of European royal affairs, and John, the Australasian ambassador to the UK, basically obeyed Arthur, and there is no need to say more about Arthur's attitude.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Britain, France and Australia have so many warring factions is because after defeating the United States, all countries can carve up enough benefits.

The United States is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean to the east and west respectively, which also means that all three countries can get a piece of fat from the United States.

After the United States is eliminated, Europe will become the complete pearl of the world, and Britain will dominate the entire Atlantic.

The French can also get a share of the benefits, which can at least calm the falling franc for a while, and by the way, allow the French to get out of the shadow of war and economic crisis.

Not much needs to be said about Australasia. After defeating the Americans, Australasia became the overlord of the Pacific and the most powerful country in the southern hemisphere.

Faced with such huge benefits, even the French, who knew that it was possible to make Britain stronger, couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Competition involving interests is often the deciding factor in whether this war can start. If the post-war benefits cannot be distributed peacefully, then there is no need to fight this war.

Because they knew this, as soon as representatives from various countries met, they immediately got to the point, which was the distribution of U.S. interests.

French Army Minister Louis was the first to speak: “Everyone, France does not mind joining this war, but we need benefits that can match the cost of the war.

If New France can be rebuilt, we are willing to raise more than 300,000 troops to join this battlefield. "

The representatives from Britain and Australasia frowned upon hearing this. Fortunately, Australasia remained silent for the time being.

But the British were directly unhappy. Churchill directly refused: "This is simply impossible, Minister Louis. The area of ​​New France runs through the entire United States from north to south, occupying almost one-third of the total area of ​​the United States.

Are you doing this to directly carve up the United States? Putting aside the opinions of other countries, the internal problems in the United States alone are enough to give us a headache. "

Although the land in the central United States is relatively barren, it is not as developed as the east.

But the area of ​​New France is too large, which also means that Britain and Australasia must also get equal areas to achieve relative fairness.

If you do this, it will evolve into the three countries directly carving up the United States, and the hatred of the Americans will naturally be transferred to the three countries of Britain, France and Australia.

The United States is not one of those colonial indigenous countries. The United States has a population of hundreds of millions. Even if it is divided into three parts, it is not easy to digest.

More importantly, the British would not accept France gaining such a large area as New France, because France would also rely on the large population of the United States to quickly get out of the economic crisis and become the next threat to British rule.

"Then there's no need to play, Mr. Churchill." French Minister of War Louis smiled and shook his head, showing a helpless look.

"Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma." Churchill looked at Louis and said with a deep expression: "Of course, if you have the ability, it's not a bad idea to win Texas.

The British Empire can only accept this. If not, we can only regret losing France as an ally in this war. "

As long as France did not join the opposition, Churchill would be completely able to accept it even if it remained neutral in this war.

Because the only thing the United States can rely on is its navy, but the navy of Britain and Australasia is enough to crush the United States.

For the British, the richest east coast of the United States must be in their own hands.

The west coast is closer to Australasia. Even with the developed city of Los Angeles, the British will not compete with Australasia.

After all, with the exception of Los Angeles, California, other areas such as Washington (state, not city), Oregon, and Nevada are still as poor as the West Coast of the United States a few decades ago.

These areas have no use except for their size, which is far inferior to the East Coast of the United States, which has a population of tens of millions.

In addition to the east and west coasts, the only thing the French can obtain is the central region of the United States.

The French are definitely not willing to get only the central interior of the United States, which also means that coastal areas like Louisiana must be ceded to the United States.

Louis took an American administrative map and looked at it for a long time, then turned his attention to Churchill and the others: "How about adding Alabama and Florida? The French army and navy can be mobilized for this war at any time."

Although Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas combined make up five states, these five states are still too barren compared to the eastern United States.

However, if Alabama and Florida are included, France can be considered as occupying the south coast of the United States, forming a situation in which British Australasia and British Australasia carve up the coastal states of the United States.

The number of seven states is also a big supplement for the French. The combined population of these seven states is enough for France to survive the economic crisis and even make a lot of money.

French capitalists will also be satisfied. After all, the benefits that these seven states can create are definitely measured in billions or even tens of billions.

With the support of capitalists, there will be no shortage of funds for this war. As long as funds are sufficient, the French army can be mobilized for this purpose.

"This is obviously impossible." Churchill frowned and rejected Louis' request, but still gave other conditions: "No matter how much you can give to New Mexico, you have to give some benefits to other countries, right?"
