This cannot be blamed for Li Fushou's narrow-mindedness, which keeps a close eye on the United States and Japan all day long, but does not care at all about the internationally renowned powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, and Austria, and his attention is not at the same level.

The geographical location of the United States and Japan inherently determines their importance in regional affairs.

Historically

The wanton invasion of Fusang caused the fall of half of Shenzhou, stepped on the mainland and stepped onto the position of the world's top powers, causing serious harm to the entire East Asia, South Asia and the western Pacific Rim countries, and the crimes are unspeakable.

During World War II, the outbreak of the Pacific War marked by the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States, which had the advantage in comprehensive national strength, experienced the passive beating in the early stage, and soon adjusted, comprehensively suppressed Fusang in various military fields, beat it and could not take care of itself, stepping on Fuso to step on the status of a world power.

Historical experience tells Li Fushou that the main opponents of the Ocean Empire in the future will still be the United States and Japan, and in the current historical stage, the most important thing to suppress and restrict is the United States, because the development potential of the United States is greater, and only then will it be the turn of Fuso.

The European powers, due to their remote geographical location, could not pose a substantial threat to the Ocean Empire in the economic and security spheres, and they did not need the Ocean Empire to intervene, they themselves played themselves to death.

Let's go back and look at the United States and Japan

Since the Davin Porter government came to power, it has begun to pay attention to domestic affairs and actively restore and develop the economy of the United States, and has achieved great results.

On this basis

The United States has strengthened its economic and trade ties with the Republic of Virginia and the Republic of Texas, subtly strengthening its influence, and the victory of the First US-Japanese War, while greatly boosting the confidence of the people of the United States, has reawakened the good memories of some people in the above two republics, and the talk of unification has become popular.

Although this is only the clamor of a small number of people, it is still a trend worthy of vigilance.

It can be seen from this

The country still has a strong influence on the independent republic, which is deeply rooted in every stratum of society, and will take root and thrive in the right environment.

The coping method is also very simple, that is, to turn over the history of the "Wool War", which was beaten one after another, and then turn over the bleak stories of the joys and sorrows of ordinary people during the Civil War, uncover the bloody scars and take a look, so I will be sober.

On the other hand, Fuso

After the Saionji Konozo Cabinet came to power, vigorously developing the domestic economy was the mainstream, and despite the difficulty of maintaining a fiscal base that was on the verge of collapse, it still gritted its teeth and organized immigration to North America.

This alone shows the deep unwillingness in the hearts of Fuso people.

This is also in line with Li Fushou's cognition, if it is really so easy to give up, it is not the Fusang people he knows, stubborn and inflexible, for the sake of precious resources to embark on the road of continuous expansion, out of control.

For the Fuso people, the defeat of the first U.S.-Japan war, the 310,000-square-kilometer New Mexico region and the resource-rich southern oil fields out of control, is not only an unbearable and great humiliation, but also a painful heart, and it is necessary to recover the field no matter what.

The Fuso were very good at learning, and they established a puppet regime in the Arizona region ~ the Republic of Arizona, modeled after the Ocean Empire.

The Republic of Arizona covers an area of about 294,000 square kilometers and has a population of 710,000, of which about 500,000 are Japanese immigrants, and the remaining more than 200,000 people are mainly Mexicans and Indians.

On the "Eastward Expansion" expansion strategy, in the post-war reflection;

There are also those who hold different views in the Japanese side, holding that we should continue to focus on going north to Manchuria, Mongolia, and implementing the "mainland policy," instead of being obsessed with "going east into North America" at the expense of the near and far, and deviating from the original expansion track by spending huge sums of money in vain.

There is also a more sober rhetoric;

It is believed that the Fuso country was induced, made a mistake in the strategic direction, and fell into the North American puzzle without knowing it, if the strong man could not break his wrist, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Fuso is a small country with little power, and it simply does not have the strength to defend the country in the North American continent, and this move "wastes national strength in vain, making wedding clothes for others, and the wise do not do it."

These sober opinions were soon drowned out by more waves of opposition, and they were accused of "pacitism" or simply "capitulationism", and were "cowards who were frightened by the apparent strength of the United States" and should "commit suicide by disembowelment to thank the countrymen".

Fuso has already invested too many resources in the North American strategy, and the Army General Staff Headquarters has suffered an unprecedented defeat on the North American continent, and is so anxious to be ashamed that it cannot hear these sober opinions at all, but frantically clamors for expanding the army and waging war.

The Japanese Navy Command Department was also fascinated by the grand strategy of "spreading the power of the country beyond the waves, basing itself on North America, and cherishing the world" and vigorously supported the strategy of "expanding eastward into North America."

The domestic mainstream public opinion media even shouted out; "Those who speak cowardly words should be ashamed, and the opening up of North America will surely be a landmark event for Fuso to be widely recognized internationally. The Ocean Empire won the "Wool War" and was thus widely respected by the world, and Fuso also needed a "Wool War", not to say no before it started. ”

This country has been led astray by Li Fushou, just like a gambler who has invested more and more heavy chips, how can it be said that he will give up?

Thinking that the hasty decision he made under his anger turned out to be the source of the love-hate entanglement between the three kingdoms of the United States, the United States and Japan, an incomparably brilliant idea, Li Fushou couldn't help but show a smug look on his face, and his heart was full of a sense of achievement.

As the largest observer state of the Pacific Security Alliance, Mexico maintains great vigilance against this regional organization, and its perfunctory attitude is evident at a glance in its perfunctory attitude in economic and trade exchanges and other aspects.

Mexicans have a love-hate relationship with their powerful neighbor to the north, and even more so of their new trans-Pacific neighbor, the Transpacific Oceanic Empire, and the incompatibility of language, culture, religion, and social customs, making it difficult to build enough trust between the two countries, which takes a long time to get to grips with.

To tell the truth, Li Fushou didn't want to bully and invade Mexico from beginning to end, and the existing vast territory already made him feel like he was overwhelmed, and he had entered a long time as a sage, and he had no desire for expansion.

Of course, this doesn't include New Zealand, which is ripe.

In Central and South America, the Ocean Empire pursued a two-handed strategy of goodwill policy and deterrence as the supplement, and gave strong support to Chile and Uruguay, countries that took the initiative to get closer, in terms of policy support, territorial disputes, and financial loans.

Efforts have been made to co-opt and actively infiltrate the economic influence of some South American countries that are on the sidelines, such as Cuba, Colombia, Panama and Argentina.

For some large South American countries that are interested in keeping their distance, such as Mexico and Brazil, they have fully released their goodwill and tried to expand exchanges between the two countries, while maintaining a certain amount of pressure, prompting them to choose cooperation over confrontation.

Anyway

The existence of the Ocean Empire in North and South America is still short, and it is only a few years to count the full battle, while the exchanges between the United States and the countries of North and South America have been more than 100 years, and the difference is not ordinary.

Therefore, the Ocean Empire must calm down and make friends, expand its influence little by little, cultivate little by little, strengthen its sense of presence through Chinese businessmen and Chinese immigrants, win over pro-China forces, and support the spokesperson of interests in both political and business circles, which is a long-term process.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of Spanish-speaking talents in the Ocean Empire, and more than 20,000 Cuban-born Caucasian women came to Australia in the early days of running the Queensland Territory, and now their children are grown up, and many of them are fluent in Spanish.

But Mexico ......

Li Fushou pondered in his mind the triangular relationship between the United States, the United States and Japan, in which Fuso is undoubtedly the weakest side, and it is best to strengthen it appropriately.

Due to its inland location, there is little room for development due to geographical limitations.

The newly formed Republic of Arizona is bordered by the Republic of California to the west and the Northern Union to the north, and expansion in these two directions is absolutely impossible. Otherwise, there is no doubt that a war between the West and Japan will inevitably break out.

To the east is the region of New Mexico (just zoned as New Mexico) occupied by the eyeing country of Rice, and to the south is Mexico.

What makes Li Fushou hesitate is, can we properly let go of the constraints, at least let Fusang have a South Pacific port?

In this way, it will greatly enhance Fuso's strength in North America, and its ability to attract hatred from the United States will be stronger, but the situation will also be more chaotic.

I weighed it up repeatedly

Li Fushou still felt that it was inappropriate, at least he couldn't be in a hurry, and he couldn't take the initiative to relax the restraint and let others see the difference.

This is mainly the relationship between the Republic of California and Mexico, which is not a weak country without diplomacy, although it will have a negative impact, but it is not enough to change the decision.

But the Republic of California is different, this independent country supported by the Ocean Empire is predominantly white, with a total population of about 7.71 million people (including Nevada), and the Chinese population accounts for about 11%, which has important influence in both military and political circles, and pro-Chinese forces occupy a dominant position in the government.

Its industry and agriculture are developed, the fields of education, culture and scientific research are at the world-class level, and the national economic output value is about 1/3 of that of Britain and 40% of that of France.

If he acquiesced in Fuso's invasion of Mexico. It is bound to provoke a backlash and discontent in the Republic of California. This is a major issue that Li Fushou has to consider, and if this causes the mainstream public opinion in the Republic of California to deviate from morality, it will be more than worth the loss.

All kinds of ideas appeared in Li Fushou's mind, some mature, some immature, he looked at the beautiful bay with deep eyes, and repeatedly weighed the gains and losses in his heart.

For today's Ocean Empire, containing and suppressing the United States is a top priority at the strategic level, even at the expense of the interests of other countries.

Think about it for a long time

Li Fushou felt that it was better to be still, so it was better to wait and talk, after all, Europe will soon be turned upside down and the world will be turbulent.
