Chapter 1217: Too Far from Heaven, Too Close to America
For Alaska, the Soviet Union even coaxed and deceived and gave enough benefits to make Alaska independent, and the Soviet Union had the right to station troops in Alaska, but it did not have much patience with Canada and the Soviets, and the Soviets only had to threaten the doglegs of the United States! Canada's weak chicken-like army is not worth the Soviets' too high bargaining chips at all, and at the same time, using force to deter Canada and force them to submit is also to show the attitude of the Soviets, the Soviets, just to be so domineering!
When it's time to be tough, it's time to be tough! After seeing off the Prime Minister of Canada and reuniting in a small conference room, everyone present was happy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I see that Martin's legs are shaking!" Yazov said: "Even the leg hair is exposed, but his leg hair is not as long as mine, well, compared to the leg hair, he can't compare!" ”
"Now, our army should also be ready to cross Canada at any time and interfere in the affairs of the United States, waiting for this day, we have been waiting for a long time."
All along, the Soviets and the Western world were in a state of confrontation, especially in Germany, where they could fight at any time.
However, no matter how they fought, the Americans always had peace of mind, after all, the battlefield was in Europe, the American continent, and the sea on both sides, and it has always been the most ideal rear!
This is also the capital of the Americans, for whom war is all about how to conquer others!
And now, the situation is different, the Soviet army can go to the border line of the United States at any time! Originally, the USSR was a traditional army power! When the Soviet tanks can be driven directly past, it is a threat to the United States that can be destroyed at any time!
In particular, the United States is still in turmoil!
"Yes, we need to be ready to move at least ten more tank divisions into Alaska, but we should not over-irritate the Americans now." Andre said: "The United States is a peculiar country, freedom and democracy, is their incomparably firm belief, if we advance to the borders of the Americans, maybe the Americans will be united, and even help Bush regain the hearts of the people." ”
The United States has a history of only a few hundred years, and the people of this country are incomparably free and civilized, and when foreign enemies invade, they will be angry with the enemy! So, the USSR could not provoke the Americans too much now!
The Soviet Union, a huge country, cannot bully others, we must stress morality and international law!
"How's the situation going in Mexico?" Andrei said to Dobrynin on the side.
Canada, and the United States get along fairly well, but Mexico, that is absolutely extremely miserable, how does the saying come about? Mexico's pain lies in being too far from heaven and too close to the United States!
Making Canada anti-American is like trying to make Canada anti-American, and making Mexico anti-American is simply a matter of words!
"Mexico, for its part, has fully agreed to our request, and they have asked us to finance them with enough weapons." "They want to regain the lost land," Dobrynin said. ”
Mexico, it's still quite powerful! In Mexico now, inflation exceeds 50 percent, and Mexico's economy will collapse at any time.
Looking at the historical map, we can see that when the United States was just independent, it was actually just an area the size of an egg, and after the establishment of the United States, it began to expand continuously!
On July 4, 1776, the 13 colonies of North America declared their independence from Britain, and they only had 800,000 square kilometers of the Atlantic coast, and a few years later, they bought most of the remaining territory of the Atlantic coast, reaching 2.3 million square kilometers, about one-third of the territory of the United States today.
A few decades later, in what was then the western part of the United States, the vast French Louisiana Land, which included the Mississippi River Basin, stretched south to the Gulf of Mexico, north to the Great Lakes, and stretched from the Appalachian Mountains in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west, was sold to the United States by Napoleon at that time for a total of $15 million and 4 cents per acre.
In later generations, Louisiana was only a small part of it, a huge territory that was divided into Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Oklahoma and other states.
The Americans, having tasted the sweetness of buying land, decided to continue buying it! In this matter, the United States still has not expanded into the Pacific! As a result, the United States set its sights on Mexico to the west.
Mexico, at this time, was still a superpower straddling North and South America. The United States went to war with Mexico in order to continue its westward advance. In the first war, Mexico was defeated, and California became a territory of the United States.
Two years later, the United States signed a treaty with Mexico, and the United States paid only a symbolic $15 million to receive nearly 1.4 million square kilometers of land, including California and New Mexico. Then, in 1853, Gadsden, the U.S. minister to Mexico, bought nearly 100,000 square kilometers of land on the U.S.-Mexico border for $10 million. In the Mexican-American War, Mexico lost most of its territory.
Now, the states of the western United States, including California, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, and many more, are once territories of Mexico!
Of the 9.4 million square kilometers of the total territory of the United States, 2.3 million were snatched from Mexico!
Therefore, the enmity between Mexico and the United States is even deeper!
However, Mexico has little strength! Mexico's economy is in a mess, successive presidents are all in ruins, and the country's citizens have lost confidence in the country.
As a result, Mexican citizens, many of whom have been smuggled into the United States, where they are engaged in the heaviest manual labor, without any personal security, and at all times at risk of being deported. For Mexicans, going to the United States and begging for food is almost the only way out!
So, now seeing a mess in the United States and the sudden emergence of Soviet support, the will of the Mexican top brass was quickly shaken.
Although before this, they did not have any intersection with the Soviet Union, but now it is different, the Soviet Union is already the most powerful existence in the world!
The Soviet Union succeeded in snatching back Alaska from the United States! Although Alaska was nominally independent, it was clear that it was still controlled by the Soviet Union!
Then, the land that Mexico was forcibly bought at the beginning is also illegal, and Mexico wants to get it back!
There is now untold wealth in that land! As long as those lands are snatched, the wealth on them is enough for Mexico to become a paradise!
