When Heihachiro Togo, commander of the RB Navy's Combined Fleet, heard US Admiral Sampson say that the capture of Wake Island and the many Chinese Imperial islands between RB and Wake Island would be handled by the US Marine Corps and the US Army in terms of landing operations, he immediately understood what Sampson meant, and that the Americans had taken a fancy to these islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Once these islands fall into the hands of the Americans, then even if the war is won, these islands will not have a share of RB, let alone the rest of the League of Nations, but at present, RB has no way to think about what will happen after the end of the war, and the most important thing for RB now is to defeat the Chinese Empire at all costs.

So Togo Heihachiro did not raise any objection to the United States sending troops to carry out a landing operation, and then Togo Heihachiro asked, "General Sampson, when are you going to launch an attack on Wake Island?" ”

Sampson said: "I think it's best to launch an attack on Wake Island after the United League of Nations European Fleet arrives in the Persian Gulf, and then our Alliance Pacific Combined Fleet will attack Wake Island, and now what we need to do is gather all the intelligence on Wake Island." ”

Then Sampson said with a smile: "I hope to give the task of scouting Wake Island to Commander Togo's fleet, I wonder if Commander Togo has any problems?" ”

Heihachiro Togo immediately nodded and said, "There is absolutely no problem, General Sampson, the combined fleet of the Navy of our Great RB Empire must collect all the information on Wake Island and the surrounding seas." ”

Sampson said again: "By the way, Commander Togo, there is also good news that cannot be determined for the time being, maybe our international alliance Pacific Combined Fleet, in addition to our US Navy, as well as your RB Navy, and the Canadian Navy that plays soy sauce, in the near future, there may be the main fleets of the navies of other countries to join." ”

Canada belongs to the Dominion of the United Kingdom, and although the strength of the Canadian Navy can be said to be very weak, but this time the United Pacific Fleet of the League of Nations was formed, and Britain also ordered the main force of the Canadian Navy to join the United Pacific Fleet of the International Alliance, led by the United States Navy and the RB Navy, and Britain itself did not send warships to join.

The Canadian Navy sent to Pearl Harbor to join the coalition Pacific Combined Pacific Fleet of the League of Nations only has four fast protection cruisers, six destroyers, and 10 torpedo boats, which is the entire strength of the Canadian Navy at present.

Heihachiro Togo listened to Sampson's words and felt very strange, you must know that the main force of the Canadian Navy joined the United Pacific Fleet of the League of Nations because of the relationship between Britain, but other countries in the League of Nations do not have a Dominion like Canada, and the main naval forces of European countries have already joined the United European Fleet of the League of Nations, and where can the navy of any country join the Combined Pacific Fleet of the League of Nations?

Looking at Heihachiro Togo's puzzled expression, Sampson said with a smile: "Commander Togo, several powerful countries in South America now, seeing that our 11 countries have formed an international alliance and launched this war against the Chinese Empire, they also have the idea of joining. ”

At the presidential palace in Santiago City, Chile's capital, Chile's President Ramón? Barros? Luco put Brazil's President Hermes? Reach? Fonseca and Argentine President Victorino? De la Platzer invited the presidents of the three most powerful countries in South America, both militarily and economically, to come together because of the great war that broke out between the Chinese Empire and the League of Nations.

There has been no war in South America for many years, and all the three most powerful countries in South America, Chile, Brazil and Argentina, have experienced rapid economic growth in recent years, and while economic growth is accompanied by the impact of the arms race among the world's major powers, the military strength of Chile, Brazil and Argentina is not weak, especially the navies of the three countries, of course, it is impossible to compare with those countries of the League of Nations.

The Chilean Navy currently has 1 aircraft carrier, 1 super dreadnought battleship, 1 battle cruiser, 2 dreadnought battleships, 3 all-steel battleships, 8 large fast armored cruisers, 12 fast protection cruisers, 12 destroyers, 32 torpedo boats and 6 submarines, making it the strongest navy in South America.

Chile's warships are basically all purchased from European and American countries, and Chile's domestic shipyards have only been able to manufacture torpedo boats so far, not even destroyers.

The Chilean Air Force has nearly 100 fighters, but most of them are old fighters eliminated by European and American countries, but the dozens of carrier-based aircraft owned by the Chilean Navy are the latest aircraft carrier-based aircraft of the United States.

The strength of the Chilean Army is not strong, with less than 80,000 regular army troops, but even so, the Chilean Air Force is also the strongest air force in South America, and the strength of the Chilean Army ranks third among South American countries.

The Argentine Navy currently has 1 super dreadnought battleship, 1 battle cruiser, 2 dreadnought battleships, 2 all-steel battleships, 4 large fast armored cruisers, 8 fast protection cruisers, 10 destroyers, 20 torpedo boats and 4 submarines, making it the second largest navy in South America.

The Argentine Navy, like the Chilean Navy, has purchased most of its warships from several countries in Europe and the United States, and Argentine shipyards can only produce torpedo boats, and there is also a big gap in performance compared with torpedo boats produced in Europe and the United States, so that more than half of the torpedo boats currently equipped by the Argentine Navy are imported from abroad.

The strength of the Argentine Air Force is very weak, with only more than 20 old fighters imported from France, but the strength of the Argentine Army is okay, with a total strength of more than 150,000 troops, equipped with a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and large-caliber artillery, and the Argentine Army, like its navy, also ranks second among South American countries.

The Brazilian Navy now has 1 super dreadnought battleship, 1 dreadnought battleship, 1 all-steel battleship, 2 large fast armored cruisers, 4 fast protection cruisers, 6 destroyers, 12 torpedo boats and 2 submarines, ranking second only to Chile and Argentina in South America.

There are shipyards in Brazil, but now they have no capacity to build any warships, and can only build civilian ships, and all the warships equipped by the Brazilian Navy are purchased from several European and American countries, including 12 torpedo boats.

The strength of the Brazilian Air Force is similar to that of the Argentine Air Force, with only more than 20 old fighters, the only difference being that the old fighters of the Brazilian Air Force were purchased from the United Kingdom in the past.

Brazil's strongest is the army, the Brazilian army now has more than 300,000 regular troops, in terms of weapons and equipment, no worse than the Argentine army, among the South American countries, the Brazilian army is the first place.

Chilean President Ramón? Barros? Luko said to the presidents of the other two countries in a deep voice: "Everyone understands what they are here for today, and what do you two think about the US proposal?" ”

It turns out that in order to expand the influence of the United States in the League of Nations, especially for post-war considerations, the United States hopes to have several allies who are the first to look forward to the United States.

The countries of the Entente and the Central Powers had already formed a group, and the United States had no way to recruit younger brothers, so the United States put its ideas on the three countries in South America, hoping to draw Chile, Argentina, and Brazil into the League of Nations.

Argentine President Viktorino? In addition to giving us 10 divisions of Argentine Army American-style weapons and equipment for free, it will also provide us with 100 new fighters of the Argentine Army, and most importantly, it will also build a Casablanca-class escort aircraft carrier for the Argentine Navy for free, and give away 32 new aircraft carriers. In the future, when Argentina purchases all the United States' land, sea, and air weapons and equipment, we will be given the same purchase price as the United States Government. ”

Paused for a moment Victorino? De la Praza continued: "No matter what choice you Chile and Brazil make, anyway, this time we Argentina are ready to join this war, this time the League of Nations composed of the United States, the RB Entente and the Allied Powers 11 world powers will definitely defeat the Chinese Empire, and our three South American countries joining the League of Nations is basically equivalent to picking up cheap, and the big fat of the Chinese Empire is not something that anyone can take a bite of." ”

Brazilian President Hermes? Reach? Fonseca frowned and said: "The conditions given by the United States this time are indeed very tempting, and the conditions given to us Brazil are the same as those of Argentina, but what I am worried about is whether the League of Nations can become the winner in the end of this war, you must know that in the big war a few years ago, the Chinese Empire fought with 9 powers alone, but in the end it was the Chinese Empire that became the victor, and the last 9 powers were just not Spain and Belgium in the League of Nations, and the strength of these 2 countries was the weakest in the League of Nations." ”

After many years of arms race, the United States has a serious fiscal deficit, so this time it has wooed Chile, Brazil, and Argentina, and the United States has not come up with its usual dollar policy, but is willing to give some weapons and equipment to the three South American countries for free, and the amount is the same.

Argentine President Viktorino? De la Prasa said confidently: "Now it is different from a few years ago, after the end of the last war, Britain, France, Germany, the United States and other countries have almost tried their best to develop their military strength, and now the strength of the League of Nations has far surpassed that of the Chinese Empire, and this time there is absolutely no possibility of the Chinese Empire winning." ”

At this time, Chilean President Ramon? Barros? Luke said: "In this war, the Chinese Empire does not want to create a miracle anymore, let's just say that the Americans promised to give us one Casablanca-class escort aircraft carrier for each country's navy, although the armor and speed are somewhat unsatisfactory, but it can carry 32 carrier-based aircraft, and the Americans took out 24 at once this time, although the Chinese Empire is known as the world's first power, but this time it alone challenged the 11 world powers that completed the preparations for the war, and there is no chance of victory." ”

Brazilian President Hermes? Reach? Fonseca asked: "Could it be that Chile is also willing to join the League of Nations and participate in this world war?" ”

Chilean President Ramón? Barros? Luco then nodded and said: "The most important thing for us in Chile is that the United States has promised to support our three South American countries to obtain enough colonies in the Pacific Ocean and the Asian continent after the war is over. ”

Brazilian President Hermes? Reach? Fonseca still frowned and said: "But the Americans did not clearly point out how many colonies our three countries will acquire after the war and where they will acquire, in this case, I am worried that after the war is over, what will change, after all, even if our three countries join the League of Nations, compared to the current 11 countries of the League of Nations, we do not have much say." ”

Chilean President Ramón? Barros? Luco continued: "The League of Nations now has 11 countries, and there is no clear distribution of interests after the war, so now the Americans cannot give us too many commitments to the three South American countries, but the Americans are trying to win over our three South American countries mainly to confront the Entente and the Central Powers in the League of Nations. ”

Brazilian President Hermes? Reach? Fonseca smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, almost all of our military and political leaders in Brazil have agreed to respond to the call of the United States and join the League of Nations, but I have always been a little worried, after all, the prestige of the Chinese Empire for so many years has not come in vain, and now the coalition forces of European countries have been blocked in the Ural Mountains, you must know that the number of coalition troops of European countries even exceeds 13 million, but such a powerful force still has not broken through the defense line of the Chinese Empire." ”

Argentine President Viktorino? De la Prasa slapped Brazilian President Hermes? Reach? Fonseca's shoulder, "Don't worry about it, it is impossible for the Chinese Empire to hold out for long on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and there is no force that can stop the huge army of more than 13 million, and the current stalemate is only temporary." ”

The casualties of the coalition forces of European countries have not been announced to the outside world, so countries such as Chile, Brazil and Argentina do not know how badly the coalition forces of European countries have lost in the battlefield in the Urals.

Chilean President Ramón? Barros? Luco clapped his hands and said: "Since we, Chile, Brazil and Argentina, are all willing to join this war and share the big cake of the Chinese Empire, then I hope that our three countries can be consistent in the League of Nations on all issues, which will also help us obtain our due benefits after the war."
