Chapter 438: Devil's Claw

In fact, Britain's attitude towards China is a bit similar to that of Japan before World War II, wanting to contain, without this kind of strength, the other party has become bigger, and there is unwillingness to contain it, especially worried that China will attack its colonies in Asia, to say that Emperor Yang is not interested in Southeast Asia and India, even the British themselves will not believe it, although they really have to let go of a war, Britain is really confident that it will not be able to defeat China, but the problem is that Britain can't let go, let alone now.

Since this is the best way that Britain can think of at present, just like using China as a meat shield back then, Britain at this time is also ready to use the United States as a meat shield, anyway, Emperor Yang has always had a soft spot for the United States over the years, digging out his mind to pit the United States, and doing everything he can, since the first Spanish-American War, the rope has been around the neck of the United States one by one, and has brought a prosperous and powerful United States to the point where it is today.

Since he likes the United States so much, then simply throw the United States to him and gnaw it, a million square kilometers, tens of millions of people, the fourth in the world in industrial strength, but the actual industrial potential may still rank first in the world, and has more than 600,000 army forces, millions of war mobilization capabilities, a perfect military industrial system, can be called a huge country with inexhaustible resources, even with the current strength of China, even if you add his minions, I am afraid that if you want to gnaw down, you will have to break your teeth, and if you don't get it, you will have to be dragged to death in the quagmire.

Since this is the case, then Britain is also happy to indulge, now the whole of Europe is about to be broken, and then let China stay out of the matter, when the strength of the other is gone, this awakened dragon will be even more difficult to control, finally Yang Feng was burned by ambition, thinking about attacking the United States again, then Britain's best choice is to push them and let China and the United States fight again. While Europe bleeds each other, it can't let China's life be too easy.

Therefore, on the issue of the Alabama independence referendum, the British expressed a very strong voice, from the government to the people, there was a voice of accusation against Alabama, and even severely criticized the Confederacy's interference in the internal affairs of the United States, in short, let the Americans see that they have the support of the British Empire behind them, and do not have to be afraid of the Caribbean Alliance, if Alabama dares to divide you, just beat him, and Britain will support you.

And in order to cheer up the United States, the British Navy also sent two of the newest London-class battleships London and Majestic to Kingston, plus the Russian Caribbean Fleet in Santo Domingo. The Entente bloc was to maintain the size of five battleships in the Caribbean, and considering that the main task of the British Navy at the moment was to block the German High Seas Fleet, it was already difficult to come up with such a force.

In addition, the US Navy has also recovered a little bit in recent years, although according to the regulations of the Paris Peace Conference, they cannot have warships of more than 5,000 tons, but there is still no limit to the number of warships below 5,000 tons, and the United States has actually lost at sea in these wars, so it has developed very quickly in light warships, and now it has 20 cruisers of 4,900 tons and 50 large and small destroyers, all of which are also diesel powered. In addition, there are hundreds of small torpedo boats, and it is still capable of protecting its coastline, which also gives the US government great confidence.

Coupled with the support of the British, President Bryan has been particularly tough on the issue of the Alabama independence referendum. Although no military means were used to force a breach of the Alabama National Guard's defenses and then storm Montgomery, six Army divisions were mobilized to exert pressure from both the east and north.

In this case. The confederate expression was even stronger, and President Kerberson publicly stated that if the U.S. government suppressed the liberty rights of the people of Alabama by force. Then the Confederate states do not rule out providing military support to the people of Alabama, and even declaring war on the United States, knowing that the Confederate declaration of war on the United States also means that the entire Caribbean Alliance declares war on the United States, and the American shape is suddenly tense.

Immediately after that, the remaining four countries of the Caribbean Alliance, including Germany, which was at war, all reaffirmed their respect for the obligations of the alliance on the same day, and the Chinese Government announced that the ocean-going training formation of the Oriental Fleet, which had just arrived in San Francisco, was officially incorporated into the Eastern Pacific Fleet, and in addition, in order to cope with the tense situation in the Caribbean region, the expanded Eastern Pacific Fleet was transferred to Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean Task Force would be reconciled and formed into the American Task Force.

At the same time, the Spanish government announced that the two newest Spanish-class battleships originally stationed on the mainland were transferred to Cuba to join the Caribbean Fleet of the Spanish Navy, and with the addition of these two battleships, this fleet will have three perfect battleships, four Princess-class heavy cruisers, and more than 40 cruisers and destroyers.

In addition, the Mexican Navy also has more than 30 cruisers and destroyers, including two Princess-class heavy cruisers, plus the German fleet in Port-au-Prince, and the Caribbean Alliance will maintain a huge scale of nearly 200 warships in this area, which is comparable to the United States itself, that is, all the warships of the countries on the east coast of the Americas combined.

The army has two Chinese divisions stationed in Puerto Rico, two German divisions in Haiti, 250,000 Spanish troops in Florida and Cuba, the Confederacy currently has 150,000 troops, Mexico has 600,000 troops, and five Chinese army divisions in Golden State Province.

But at this time, the United States has no choice, and President Brian, the strategic strategy of the Caribbean Alliance over the years, is also very clear, it is nothing more than encroachment, cutting a little today and cutting a little tomorrow, every point does not touch the bottom line of the United States' tolerance, and every time it gives the United States an illusory illusion of peace, and when the United States finally recovers a little bit of vitality, it will not take many years for the United States to be bitten to death by this group of hungry wolves. This time, I will accompany you to the end.

In fact, the Americans are not stupid, they also know that in this situation, it is Yang Feng's main job to make war money in Europe, and it is impossible for him to drag his army into a quagmire for the sake of a dispensable state of Alabama, and miss such a good opportunity in vain.

Therefore, despite the Confederate posture of war and even the careful mobilization of troops, President Bryan still gave the order to attack the American troops who were confronting the Alabama National Guard when the referendum officially began, and then launched a surprise attack at the same time by six divisions of American troops who had been waiting for a long time.

In front of the U.S. military, it was nothing more than a group of militia, and Alabama didn't have much population, and all the National Guards added up to only 30,000 people, how could it be possible to block the attack of six U.S. divisions, but the Alabamians who were dazed by the good promises made by the Confederacy and the bright prospect that the entire Caribbean Alliance would send troops to support at the same time still carried out a stubborn resistance, and after a fierce and brutal battle, the U.S. Army broke through the Alabama National Guard defense line and went straight to Montgomery.

The Alabama legislature and government hastily declared the independence of Alabama and the establishment of the Republic of Alabama after the use of force by the U.S. military, and then the members of the council and government fled by train to the Confederacy to reunite with their wives and children, and before leaving, they called on the people of the Republic of Alabama to fight for independence and freedom. Of course, as the leaders of this battle for independence and freedom, they certainly could not stay and fight like the people, and after fleeing to the Confederacy, these guys immediately formed the government of exile of the Republic of Alabama, and began to complain to the world about the atrocities of the American government massacring the Alabama people.

Under the hype of the media under the Yang consortium, the more than 1,000 Alabama National Guard soldiers who died on the battlefield immediately became martyrs who were brutally slaughtered by the U.S. government to defend freedom and democratic rights, and those congressmen who were arrested before they had time to escape.

"It's outrageous, it's a trample on human justice, and although I don't quite know why the Alabama people want to secede from the United States of America, since there is an example of the Confederate States of America before this, that is to say, the people of Alabama have the right to choose independence, which is given to them by the U.S. Constitution, and is sacrosanct, then the U.S. government should respect their choice and not use a butcher's knife to interfere with the people's freedom.

The actions of the United States Government must be condemned, the executioners of the massacres must be brought to justice, and the forces of justice at the international level must act to provide protection for the people of Alabama, who are being slaughtered. Emperor Yang, who had just arrived in Hanoi, said indignantly in an interview with reporters.

As soon as he finished speaking, the forces of international justice immediately took action, but the way they did so shocked the onlookers.

The governments of the five Caribbean Alliance countries have successively submitted ultimatums to the US Government, demanding that the United States respect the choice of the Alabama people, withdraw all US troops in Afghanistan within 24 hours, release the criminals arrested by them, and continue to hold an independence referendum interrupted by their force under the supervision of the five countries, and respect the results of the referendum.

Otherwise, the naval fleets of the five Caribbean allies will blockade the coast of the United States indefinitely, prohibiting all ships except those transporting agricultural products from leaving the port. (To be continued......)
