Chapter 471: Reaction of States
President Clark, who heard the world's announcement, yelled excitedly, and then immediately called Secretary of State Anderson.
As soon as he entered the door, Anderson looked serious and stammered: "Mr. President, I have some unfortunate news to report to you!" β
Isn't the world announcement good news? How could it turn into unfortunate news? Clark asked, a little puzzled, "What the hell is going on?" β
Anderson looked sad: "As of last night, our expeditionary force through the Bering Strait has been completely wiped out!" β
"Last night? What happened? Clark stood up and walked to the map, "Where was the last place they arrived?" β
"Last night, the last 200 or so soldiers who were scarred and cut off from supplies encountered wolves in the wilderness, there were thousands of them, and after hard fighting, the whole army was finally wiped out, and none of them were spared!" Anderson shook his head, walked to the map, and pointed with his right index finger to the Far East to the west of the Bering Strait, and said, "As for the last place to arrive, it should be here!" β
Clark sighed: "Isn't this place thousands of miles away from Youzhou and Bangzi Country in Huaxia?" β
Anderson said, "At least! β
There was silence in the room.
At the beginning, the most elite expeditionary force was mobilized to march majestically to the East, but who knew that it fell in the wasteland thousands of miles away from its destination.
In this battle, the loss is not only the elite soldiers, but also the ambition to continue the expedition!
After this defeat, if you want to send troops to the east again, I am afraid that it will take a few more years.
What's even more terrifying is that because of the lack of whip, in the original real world, the influence of cowboy countries in Asia will inevitably decline.
Affected by this, will the European powers still be willing to dance to the baton of the cowboy?
If this is the case, I am afraid that the superpower, which has global influence, will quickly degenerate into a regional hegemon, and the glory of the past will no longer be there!
But in any case, there are some things, even if there is little hope, what should be fought for, it is still necessary to fight for it.
Clark shook his head, as if to get all the negative emotions out of his head, and said to Anderson: "Militarily, although we can't reach the whip, but in terms of money, we can give real support!" Otherwise, if we go on an expedition to Asia in the future, we may not even be able to find a forward position.
"Isn't it possible to exchange real-world coins for games? The general requirement of asking the cabinet to draw up a plan to support the Japanese state is that we will pay for one stage of the war when the war is fought at a certain stage, so as to avoid taking the money and not fighting the war and treating us as the main wrongdoers.
"Also, we must promote the three Arab countries and stick countries in Asia to send troops to support the Japanese as soon as possible, even if it costs some extra money, we must maintain our influence in Asia!
"Remember, there is no free lunch in this world, it is our fundamental strategic goal to hold back the pace of China's hegemony in Asia, no matter how the situation changes in the future, in this era without high-tech weapons, it is really possible to replace us, only China! Whether it's Europe, Polar Bear, Ah San, or Wa Guo, it's all a little worse! β
"Yes, Mr. President!" Anderson got up to take orders.
β¦
Hearing the world announcement, as excited as the president of the cowboy country, there is also Li Jizu, the prime minister of the star country. He immediately asked for another video conference with the leaders of the countries within the South-Eastern Federation to discuss the current situation.
Soon, the video conference was held as scheduled.
Li Jizu: "Colleagues, good morning! In view of the latest developments in the war in China, our Southeast Alliance should respond accurately, so I propose to convene this meeting. Colleagues are invited to express their opinions! β
President of Malaysia: "Didn't you propose the meeting, why didn't you say what you thought first?" β
Li Jizu: "The Southeast Alliance is a big family, and everyone's opinions are very important!" β
President of Malaysia: "..."
There was silence.
Seeing that everyone did not speak, Li Jizu said helplessly: "My idea is that since the war in Huaxia has developed again, should our relationship with Huaxia be reconsidered?" β
Laos Leader: "Reconsider? How to think about it? Can you not say a word and swallow two sentences? β
Everyone was staring at Li Jizu.
Li Jizu said: "I mean, are we re-issuing a statement, severing relations with China, and standing with the international community again......
The dominance of Huaxia is by no means in line with the national policy of the star country. In this sense, at this stage, the strategic goals of the Star Kingdom are consistent with those of the Wa Kingdom and the Cowboy Kingdom.
However, not every country has the same ambition as the Star Country - as a small country, it wants to play an important role in the world!
The leader of Laos unceremoniously interrupted Li Jizu's speech: "This proposal is good, but it is good that it ignores morality at all, loses integrity, and loses dignity;
"It's good to betray the allies, and there is no psychological pressure at all! I just want to ask, has it become commonplace for the countries of the Southeast Alliance to betray the alliance? Since the signing of the Treaty of Asian Alliance, is China now our ally?
"Fortunately, when our Lao country was being invaded by our former allies and was on the verge of annihilation, the guy we regarded as our closest allies, not only did not send strong reinforcements, but actually proposed that we provoke allies who were more than ten times stronger than us! Excuse me, is this the legendary watching the fire from the other side, lest the fire not be strong? β
The Prime Minister of the Khmer State did not wait for Li Jizu to defend himself, and directly took over the conversation: "Now, the ink of the "Asian Alliance Treaty" has not yet dried, and my Khmer State cannot do such a treacherous thing!"
"It's so close to China, but I still want to offend such a behemoth-like neighbor to death, and my Khmer country doesn't dare to do it!
"My Khmer country is different from your star country, we don't dare to be so unscrupulous! No matter how offended you are, when it is really time to settle the account, people may think of the same text and the same species, hold it high, and put it down gently;
"My Khmer country is not so lucky, most of us are not Chinese, I am worried, when the time comes, when China really retaliates, some allies will not even send reinforcements of 10,000 ordinary soldiers!"
Li Jizu's face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word.
When the Khmer and Laos were invaded by Annam, the Star Kingdom only sent some symbolic reinforcementsββ, sending 5,000 third-order soldiers to each side, which was basically of a tourist nature.
The rice country is being pressed to the ground by Ah San to brush the merit value, so its national leaders and heads of government are not available to attend the meeting, and its participants are also full of disdain when they hear Li Jizu's speech: "Please everyone, don't worry about those big and powerful countries, hurry up and send more reinforcements to my rice country, we can't hold it anymore!" β
The president of Malaysia glanced at everyone's expressions one by one, and said lightly: "Let's find a way to put Ping'an Nan and Ah San first, and then talk about other things!" In any case, I think it is necessary for us to fulfill our duties as allies, and I will go back and organize reinforcements! β
After that, I turned off the video directly.
Other people's videos have also been darkened.
Li Jizu only felt that his breath was held in his chest, and he couldn't breathe out for a long time.
What a villain in vain!
