In other words, his reactionary remarks full of colonialism still gave his father-in-law a lot of emotion.
This guy still lives up to the nickname given to him by Time Magazine!
When Time magazine first featured Yang as its cover, it crowned him with a nickname that is hard to say whether it was ironic or not, the defender of the old world!
It is said that the Britons have lived a miserable life over the years, constantly losing one colony after another in a state of cynicism, retreating from Asia to the Middle East, from the Middle East to Africa, like a reservoir that has been blown open by a dam, depleting the empire for hundreds of years at a pouring speed, and then watching the newly rising powers show off their power there, watching the dogs that once crawled under their feet dangling in front of them.
And what they got in exchange was still cynicism, especially in some of their retreating colonies, and even the acts of baoli against them took place, which also made their sense of humiliation even stronger, especially for diehards like Earl Clement, who had been immersed in the glory of the British Empire.
In this case, although he knew that Yang Feng hoped that Britain would continue to hold out in the Persian Gulf, but he just needed an ally there, but he could say such a thing, which still warmed his father-in-law's heart, after all, this is the only leader of a major country in the world who so firmly supports them in maintaining the old colonial system, not to mention the rice country that thinks about cutting their flesh every day. The Soviet Union, which was waiting to tear them apart. It's the allies of Europe. There is no friend like Yang Feng.
"I'll tell Congress what you mean."
He nodded.
"If you need direct support in maintaining your colony, I can help you if necessary."
Yang Feng nodded and said.
Pave the road first, and then things will depend on the situation, if Britain can firmly establish a determination to continue to control Kuwait, then when needed, he will not mind sending part of the army to help, anyway, there are only about 200,000 people there, and there is no big flower. Only limited help, of course. In this way, if the Britons did not succeed in suppressing the resistance of the Kuwaitis, his hand would have taken the opportunity to reach into the country, and the Britons would definitely need his help in the future, which would be equivalent to everyone sharing the oil there. If the Britons really can't hold on, then you can make a deal with them, follow the example of Trusil Aman and simply get the right to protect, and then in the future, if the Sabah family is obedient, they will keep it, and if they don't obey, they will kill it, in short, this oil depot will be in hand again.
The same is true for other Bahrain and Qatar.
In short, first of all, the Britons must persevere, and if they themselves are not capable of holding on, then lend a helping hand. In this way, these small countries will eventually be transferred into their own hands, and finally complete control of the oil in the Persian Gulf will be achieved. It's useless for this world to talk about anything else. Whoever controls this oil field is the boss of the world, and no matter how other countries develop economically, as long as they have this oil field in their hands and want to destroy it, it is nothing more than simply shutting down the oil pipeline.
Don't you see that the future generations even let the oil tyrants play with ******?
"Führer, U.S. forces in Aomori have surrendered!"
Chief Hu, who suddenly ran in, suddenly interrupted the exchange of heartfelt expressions between the two sons-in-law who were full of colonial ideas.
"Surrender? A whole division surrendered? ”
Before Yang Feng could speak, Count Clement said with a shocked expression.
"Yes, the 45th Infantry Division has all surrendered!"
Hu Hao repeated solemnly.
Aomori, in the howling wind and snow, Major General Webb, commander of the 45th Infantry Division of the US Army, wrapped in his dirty military coat, gloomily handed his pistol to Admiral Yamada in front of him.
Behind Major General Webb were a full eight thousand American soldiers with numb expressions, ragged and unkempt faces, all remaining of the 45th Infantry Division.
They were besieged in Aomori for two whole months, day and night to endure the falling shells, bombs and even Scud missiles, and the surrounding more than 150,000 Japanese People's Liberation Army non-stop fierce battles, 13,000 people have fought so far, because they could not seize air supremacy, their supplies were extremely scarce, and even the medicine for the wounded was not enough in the later stage, and the reinforcements still stopped more than 100 kilometers away, when the hoarded ammunition was exhausted, surrender became their only choice.
"Your Excellency General, where are we going next?"
Although he knew that it didn't make much sense, Major General Webb still asked Yamada.
He knew very well how the Japanese treated their captives, and in fact, it was precisely because of the fear of the mortality rate in the Japanese concentration camps that he and his soldiers persevered until now, after all, they remembered this aspect deeply.
"General, we are not the army of the Junist government, you will be treated as a prisoner of war deserves!"
Yamada said contemptuously.
Webber nodded gloomily and walked away under the AK47 guns of the soldiers of the Japanese People's Liberation Army next to him, and behind him 8,000 American soldiers lined up on the ruins of Aomori, dragging their exhausted footsteps gradually into the snowstorm.
Behind them, cheers celebrating the liberation of Aomori were heard.
The surrender of the 45th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army made the whole world dumbfounded, and no one thought that this war would actually have such a result, although the U.S. Army that surrendered with Major General Webb in the end was only one and a half brigades, but it was a complete infantry division in terms of structure, this is a division of the U.S. Army, and it is a force to destroy the country wherever it is placed, and it surrendered like that?
What is even more jaw-dropping is the people of the United States, it can be said that when the people of the United States saw the news, almost no one believed their eyes.
How so?
Why is that?
Is this still an invincible U.S. military?
After the initial loss of consciousness passed, all the ordinary people of the United States went crazy, they wanted to find out the culprit, they wanted to find out the cause of this tragedy, the culprits were of course the Soviets and the Japanese Social Workers' Party, and the cause of the tragedy was also very simple, General Decker could not break through the resistance of the Japanese Liberation Army on the southern front, and could not rescue the 45th Infantry Division before they ran out of ammunition and food, and the reason why General Decker did not succeed was that he was not strong enough.
"As long as there is one more division, as long as there is one more division, I can avoid this tragedy, I have three divisions, but I only have one division that can be used on the battlefield!"
In front of the reporter's camera, Admiral Decker, who had to take the blame and resign, said in a sad tone that no matter whether he shirked responsibility or was instructed by others, he reminded all the people of the United States of a serious question, where did his division go, why there were only two American divisions on the battlefield, and why did the other division not appear on the battlefield?
Well, that division is on the island of Kyushu.
"I have made it very clear that the Ming army went to the war to help deal with the Social Workers, but I don't understand why the Seventh Fleet would stop them, why the American troops under Admiral Decker refused to land on Kagoshima, and according to the soldiers of the Japanese Army, the American troops even threatened them to fire at gunpoint, and if they did not fire, they would be executed by military law.
Although I feel very sad about the tragedy of Aomori, but what caused all this was completely inexplicable actions of the US military, if they did not put an entire division on Kyushu Island to block the Ming army, but threw this division into the Morioka battlefield, I believe that General Webb and his soldiers would not have fought alone for more than two months, and even if it were not for the obstruction of the US army, the Ming army would have been engaged in the battle against the Social Workers at this time, and this kind of tragedy would not have occurred at that time.
So now I also hope that President Eisenhower will give me a reasonable explanation. ”
Immediately afterwards, Star TV broadcast an exclusive interview with His Excellency the head of the Ming Empire.
Well, his fuel on the fire immediately detonated the mood in the country.
Although those media who strongly supported the Republican Party reprimanded Yang Feng for simply beating back, everyone understood what the Ming army was doing at this time, and it could even be said that the Ming army went north to force Admiral Decker to transfer a division to Kyushu Island to stop their invasion of the Japanese state.
But the problem is that Yang Feng has always said that the Wa Kingdom belongs to the Ming Dynasty, he has been shouting for more than ten years, and even the ordinary people of the country are well known, and many of them believe it, especially some historians also rely on the study of the history of the Ming Empire, and naturally there are some monographs on this aspect.
He now sees that the Japanese are about to fall under the control of the Soviet Union, so he has to take precautions in advance, which is reasonable, after all, seeing that the people of the United States are about to be unable to protect the Japanese country, he can accept the Japanese country in the hands of the United States, and he absolutely cannot accept the Japanese country in the hands of the Soviets, these are all things he has said countless times, and it can be said that the defeat of the US military in the Japanese country forced him to do this.
In the end, Eisenhower was incompetent.
In the hands of the Ming Dynasty and in the hands of the United States, they are all part of the free world, but in the hands of the Soviet Union, they have become a bad country, this point of principle, for the people of the United States can accept the Ming Dynasty to rule the Ming Dynasty, but can not accept the Soviet Union's control of the Japanese State, in the face of this kind of major right and wrong, you not only have no ability to solve the problem, but also do not allow others to help solve it, are you still competent as a president?
Well, that's the Democratic-controlled media rhetoric.
All in all, the cause of this tragedy was Eisenhower's incompetence, disregard for the big picture, and narrow-mindedness.
The people of the United States, who are accustomed to expressing their will with actions, immediately blocked the White House, and even some of them became agitated and even began to storm the White House.
