Chapter 535: Divide the World

Wilson took over as president of the United States, and then the U.S. government announced the withdrawal of all federal troops from Alabama, and released the criminals who had been arrested for their involvement in the Alabama legislature, including those who had been arrested for attacking U.S. troops in Alabama. At the same time, the U.S. government issued a statement that it respects the right of the Alabama people to choose freely, and that the U.S. government will not interfere in any way, regardless of whether Alabama chooses to establish itself or remain in the Union.

This is tantamount to admitting Alabama Du Li in disguise, in fact, tossing until now, Americans have long been tired of this problem, after all, it is not interesting to get nervous every day for this, and even the Alabama people themselves are annoyed, it doesn't matter to them whether they are standing or not, the important thing is to quickly let this matter have a finish, so as to save people panic every once in a while.

The other four countries of the Caribbean Alliance, except for Germany, welcomed the change in the attitude of the Americans, and then the Allied Forces Command in Havana announced the lifting of the blockade of American ports, and as the battleships and cruisers that were hovering outside the major American ports began to withdraw, the clouds of war that had hung over this country for three years finally dissipated, and the capitalists were almost crying with joy one by one, and a glittering golden door in front of them finally slowly opened.

However, at this time, they found that it is not easy to make war money in Europe, first of all, the money of the European powers has been scraped clean by the Chinese, even if there is still a little leftovers, someone has already occupied the seat, and second, because of the continuous shrinkage of the industry, the technical level of the United States has been at this time and the international, of course, mainly China has opened a great distance, like the best-selling in the market at this time, such as special steel, aluminum alloy, petrochemical products.... These are basically those that the United States does not have the ability to produce, and what they can provide and have market competitiveness is crude steel, crude oil, and so on.

Of course, even so, this is still something to celebrate, after all, they were not allowed to sell anything except agricultural products.

It's a pity that they knew next that things were far from that simple, and that this money was not something that anyone could earn if they wanted to, and at the same time that the Caribbean Alliance announced the lifting of the blockade, Germany also announced an unrestricted submarine war against the Entente bloc. Any merchant ship bound for the Entente, neutral or not, would be sunk by German submarines.

Of course, this is just talk, those merchant ships flying the flags of China and other countries covered by Emperor Yang certainly don't need to think about this problem, William will not sink them even if he kicks the donkey in the head, so the only target is the United States, and Brazil, but Brazil does not have much to offer Britain.

The first American merchant ship loaded with steel to sail to England. As soon as it entered the Celtic Sea, a German submarine was sunk.

The capitalists were immediately outraged by this news, and they began to hype up the brutality of the Germans in the newspapers, but it did not cause much repercussions, because before that the United States had only exported agricultural products to Europe. German submarines never attacked American merchant ships. It is not surprising that large quantities of American agricultural products were even re-exported to Germany through Sweden, and that the United States exported more agricultural products to the Allies than the Allies, since Britain and France still had colonial supplies. Germany and Austria-Hungary had no colonial agricultural products to plunder, and the Americans knew very well why the German submarine sank the merchant ship.

However, the American capitalists did not give up their efforts and still used all their energy to smear Germany in the United States. The strange situation of laying the groundwork for their expected American entry into the war, while on the other side, German submarines ignored their jumping up and down and continued to sink American merchant ships transporting industrial goods to Britain one after another.

Because no matter how you look at it, it seems that Germany is deliberately provoking the Americans, and this is the last thing that the Germans should do in the current situation, they should know very well what it means for the United States with a population of 50 million to join the Entente bloc on the war situation, and at that time there is no need for China to participate in the war, the Allies will definitely lose, and the balance on the European battlefield is extremely fragile, it can be said that as long as one more million people join the Western Front, the Entente will definitely break through the German defense line in the French border area.

In fact, in the eyes of Britain and France, the best choice for the Allies at this time is to sue for peace, after all, their defeat can almost be said to be certain, there is no possibility of turning over at all, at most, it is to survive for a while, no matter how hard they struggle, it is impossible to change their fate, at this time to seek peace Britain, France and Russia will not be wiped out. After all, everyone has been fighting for many centuries, and they are all related to each other, and the interests are also complicated, just like Germany is returning Alsace and Lorraine to France, at most the Rhineland, and then some land to Russia, and the same is true of Austria-Hungary, and finally admit more reparations, take out the fleet and let the victor divide it, and limit the number of land forces in the future, so that it is basically about the same, and the throne or something should be seated.

In the final analysis, at this time, neither Britain nor France, nor Russia, which still had enough spare strength, did not want to fight any further.

Unfortunately, they did not know that the Chinese government's envoy, Zeng Guangquan, the former ambassador to Germany, had arrived in Berlin and brought with him a personal letter from the Chinese Emperor to the Emperor of Germany and Austria, in which Emperor Yang formally promised them that once China was militarily ready, he would join the Central Powers and declare war on the Entente bloc at the right time.

Of course, before this, there are still some issues of the distribution of interests between the two sides that need to be discussed clearly, such as the division of the scope of strength after the war, first of all, the Asia and Pacific region must be monopolized by China, but Africa China will definitely not interfere, that your allies will divide it themselves, as for Russia, because of the special relationship between Emperor Yang and William and his cousin, it must still be allowed to survive.

Neither William nor Emperor Joseph had any opinion on this, in fact, they never wanted to destroy Russia, they just wanted enough Russian territories, such as Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, etc., China naturally respects this very much, China's requirements are only the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, and the part east of the Caspian Sea, which is enough, plus these Chinese territories have to be turned over several times.

In this way, the two sides will keep Russia in the middle as a buffer zone, and it will be easy for contradictions to arise if everyone gets too close to each other in the future.

As for the division of the Americas, it is fair to say that with the Panama Canal as the boundary, the north side is counted as China's sphere of influence, and the south side is counted as the sphere of strength of Germany and Austria.

In Europe, France will definitely cut the north of the Seine, it will be enough for Britain to lose its colonies and then let Ireland stand, as for Italy, it will definitely belong to Austria-Hungary in the north, which was originally owned by others, but it was robbed by the Italians when Prussia ravaged Austria.

Of course, in these divisions, Emperor Yang did not forget to give his younger brothers a share, such as giving Jamaica to Spain, Crimea and part of the Russian territory of the Caucasus to Hamid II, etc., which fully demonstrated the virtues that Emperor Yang should have as a responsible boss.

Neither Germany nor Austria has any opinion on these, in fact, it is not their turn to have an opinion at this time, and they will not get anything as soon as China falls to the Entente, just like Austria-Hungary, who may still have the disaster of national destruction, how can they still be qualified to bargain.

When they were plotting to divide the world, groups of Chinese cultural, business, and political celebrities were visiting Britain in a high-profile manner, especially the visit of a delegation of members of the House of Commons in London, which set off a tide of Sino-British friendship in London, and when those smiling parliamentarians communicated with the British people in Hyde Park, the entire Entente was convinced that it would not be long before they could hear the news that the Chinese would fight side by side with them.

And in fact, there are substantive discussions between China and the UK on this issue, for example, the issue of Indonesia, or more simply, the issue of the Sumatra oil fields.

In fact, with the outbreak of a large-scale rebellion in India, the British could no longer afford to continue to maintain the Indonesian battlefield, Curzon took away all the Japanese mercenaries who could fight there, and it would be good if the Indian soldiers left behind did not mutiny, how could they still be in the mood to fight with the monkeys, hiding in several major cities one by one, looking at their distant homeland, hoping to go back and fight bloodily for the freedom of India. As for the Russians, after taking one division to India to support the British, and another division to Colombia, there were less than 150,000 men left in the whole of Southeast Asia, not to mention continuing to attack the Indonesian islands, even in the southern islands of the Philippines, which had stopped the offensive, and even abandoned Cebu, where the monkey resistance was fiercest.

In this way, it no longer makes any sense to continue to entangle Indonesia to Britain and Russia, since Emperor Yang wants this place, then it can only be given to him, in addition to Indonesia, there is naturally a German colony in the Philippines, this place was originally what Russia wanted, but now China can only give it if it wants. Then there was Western Australia, which was independent at this time, but it was not part of the Commonwealth of Australia and was still a British colony.

The British also know that Yang Feng is indispensable, after all, it is the earliest territory of the emperor, and the Chinese have become the main body of Western Australia, now since Yang Feng is required, it is natural that they cannot be entangled in this issue, in fact, the more Yang Feng wants, the more reassuring the British, French and Russian families will be, if Yang Feng doesn't want anything, that's what they need to worry about.
