The reason why the Middle East is called "the Middle East" comes from the division of the world by the external expansion of Western countries. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the Industrial Revolution, Western countries began to expand abroad, with Europe as the center, they called Southeast Europe and Northeast Africa the "Near East", the vicinity of West Asia as the "Middle East", and the farther East as the "Far East".

Geographically, the Middle East is located in the eastern Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean Sea has always been considered by Europeans to be the inland sea of Europe, so Churchill called the Middle East part of Europe.

This is actually a bit alarmist, Europeans have never been in the habit of seeing the Middle East as part of Europe, Churchill said this, just to win the support of the United States, to encircle and intercept Lanfang.

Charles Hughes is not stupid, Lanfang has a bad relationship with the United Kingdom, but the relationship with the United States is okay on the surface, although Lanfang and the United States are a little ugly behind their backs, but on the surface there is no conflict of interest between Lanfang and the United States, so the United States does not need to tie itself to the chariot of the British.

Besides, the Philippines, the current colony of the United States, is on the edge of Lanfang, and the Americans still have to maintain friendly relations with Lanfang in order to maintain this only colony in Asia.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that what Lan Fang is doing now is exactly what the United States wants to do. The United States has the strongest industrial strength in the world, so the United States needs more markets to sell American industrial products, and at this time, the colonial system led by Britain and France is a closed country policy, and the Americans must also have their own interests in this regard.

There are these twists and turns in it, so even if it is Churchill's tongue and lotus, Charles Hughes is determined not to get on Churchill's thief ship.

"Now that you have learned that Lan Fang's influence is now huge, then you should not sit idly by, there should not be another voice in this world, one voice is enough." Churchill was not reconciled and still wanted to pull the Americans into the chariot.

"You're right, there should be only one voice in this world, but it's too early to tell." Charles Hughes was not fooled, and his words were full of meaning.

Churchill's "one" meant that the world should continue to be dominated by Western countries, while Charles Hughes's "one" was already specific to a certain country.

Of course, in Churchill's view, Charles Hughes must have been referring to Britain.

"Now the Middle East is out of control, and if we give up here, then sooner or later it will become the trigger for the next world war." Churchill couldn't stress the importance of the Middle East enough.

"No way - the Middle East is really important, but not to that extent, otherwise a world war would have broken out." Charles Hughes laughed dumbly.

Charles Hughes was right, if the Middle East was really that important, then the British would not have withdrawn from the Middle East without a single reinforcement.

Since the British don't pay attention to it, there is no reason for the Americans to regard the Middle East as their heart.

"So do you mean that the U.S. government doesn't do anything?" It doesn't work, it doesn't work, and Churchill finally became angry.

"Of course not, we are committed to world peace, which is why we have the Cairo initiative." Charles Hughes is really high-pitched.

Churchill pursed his lips, and in his heart he probably had greeted Charles Hughes's eighth ancestor, but he was not angry on the surface, and Britain and the United States were also in the same vein.

It's a pity that Britain used to be the son and the United States was the son, but now, the British man is getting older and older, and the little guy in the United States has grown up.

"In his speech last month, our President said: America should be the America of the Americans. This sentence is very true, so I think that the Middle East should also be the Middle East of the Middle Easterners, it is already chaotic enough, if there are foreign forces interfering, this place may become a thread that falls into the hands of cats, and we must try our best to avoid this kind of thing. Charles Hughes finally told the truth.

The reason why the Americans proposed to convene the "Cairo Conference" must also be the demands of the Americans, do you remember the fuse of the Syrian-Iraq war? The Americans absolutely do not want to see any country dominate in the Middle East, but the Americans do not have the opportunity to meddle in the affairs of the Middle East, so the Americans will show no desire and no desire.

The Americans do not have the Vatican as a path, and if they want to intervene in the Middle East, they need to work harder.

"My opinion is the opposite of yours, it is precisely because of the management of civilized society that there is peace and a future here, and if the power of the civilized world is lost, this place will fall into eternal darkness." Churchill had a different opinion.

"The reality often backfires, and although I know what you want to say, the reality is that Britain is now forced to withdraw from the Middle East, and if you follow the conclusion, this is also the choice of the people of the Middle East." Charles Hughes doesn't entirely agree.

Like Churchill's inexplicable sense of superiority, Charles Hughes considered himself a member of the civilized world. But it is clear that Charles Hughes did not fully agree with Churchill's words, and for the Americans, the ideal situation in the Middle East is for everyone to withdraw and then restore the "original ecology" of the Middle East, so that the Americans can march into the Middle East with a checkbook.

"The choice of the people of the Middle East is definitely not to accept Lan Fang's rule, if you know more, you will know what the real choice of the Middle East people is." Churchill still had faith in the reputation of the British Empire.

"It's going to take time to test." Charles Hughes doesn't want to dwell on this issue.

Although the night was dark, the communication between the two old foxes continued.

This kind of thing, don't expect to be able to talk about the results in a few words, just like the process of the "Cairo Conference", which has been going on for more than a month so far, but there has been no progress.

It can't be said that there is no progress, Churchill's work ability is still relatively strong, and Charles Hughes touched the nail here, Churchill was not discouraged, and sent Charles Hughes away, and Churchill turned around and greeted Mussolini.

That's right, it's the notorious Mussolini.

Just last year, Mussolini finally succeeded in coming to power through the "Roman March", forming a government under the authority of King Vittorio Emmanuel III of Italy, and Mussolini was appointed prime minister.

Mussolini's first act after coming to power was to suppress the rebellion in Sardinia, but with the back-up support of Corsica, the Italians did not go smoothly, not only did not destroy the rebels on Sardinia as they wished, but retreated one after another, resulting in most of Sardinia being controlled by the rebels, which really made Mussolini lose face.

The Americans proposed the "Cairo Conference," and the Italians were invited, because although the Italians had no influence north of the Red Sea, on the southern shore of the Red Sea, Eritrea and part of Somalia were Italian colonies, so Italy was also qualified to discuss the Middle East issue.

At this point, Mussolini, no matter how stupid he was, knew that the problem in Sardinia was that Lan Fang was making trouble, so after receiving Churchill's invitation, Mussolini gladly went to the appointment.

Unlike Charles Hughes, who didn't drink a lot, Mussolini had no problem drinking with Churchill, so the two had a good conversation, and after Churchill expressed his attitude, Mussolini's attitude looked even more intense: "That's right, the Lanfang people are a group of pests, wherever they go, there will be war, this group of mercenaries is the standard war hyena, they must be eliminated, otherwise we will never be able to achieve peace in the Middle East or Asia, or even the whole world." ”

"That's right, Lan Fang's ambitions must be curbed, you look at the map, how long have they been established, but now they are already huge to this extent, if they are given a few more years, the whole of Asia may be in their pockets, and then Lan Fang, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and even those monkeys from Indochina, they will continue to enter Europe, it will be a real 'yellow woe'." Churchill was an absolute racist at heart, and he had a long history of prejudice against Orientals.

Uh--about this "racism", in fact, everyone in this era, even Qin Zhiyuan from the 21st century, has to follow the local customs in this world.

"You're right, we have to curb Lan Fang's ambitions, think about the huge population base in Asia - God! It's a disaster. Mussolini and Churchill had a lot in common on this issue.

Compared with Churchill, Mussolini was more staunchly racist, and Mussolini did not hide this at all, as early as when he was the editor-in-chief of the Italian newspaper Le Volvo, Mussolini often advocated racism in the newspaper, and it was with similar extremist ideas that Mussolini was able to come to power in Italy.

"That's right, with a huge population base, it is impossible to fight against a single country alone, so we should join hands and teach the Lanfang people a real lesson." Churchill is not stupid, the reason why Churchill sought Mussolini was to use Italy as a gunman.

"We should also enlist more help, for example, the Americans." Mussolini is not stupid, although Italy is also an old imperialist, but compared with Lanfang, it is indeed a bit unsightly.

In the world war, the Foreign Legion performed too well, and the Italians performed too weakly, so don't look at Mussolini's hard speech now, but in the face of Lan Fang, Mussolini is really unconfident.

"Of course we have to fight for it, and in fact we have the support of the Americans." Churchill lied and did not change his face.

It's not easy to find an ally these days.
