October 20, 2769 (1928), White House, Washington, USA.

"Crazy! Crazy! The British must be crazy! What is the Labour Cabinet? This is clearly the Communist Cabinet, or the Socialist Cabinet! Aren't they afraid to get away with it?"

President James Middleton Cox looked like he had eaten a poop, and the expression on his face was embarrassed and embarrassed. Half a year ago, when he first received the news, he thought that his subordinates were drunk. But what I didn't expect was that after repeated confirmation, this information was true, and then the opium cow actually played like this, and now it seems to be working well.

"James, that's normal. Anyway, in the eyes of the British, no matter how you play, it will not be worse than the previous situation. Secretary Bainbridge Colby shrugged his shoulders and said, "And their approach seems to be working pretty well right now, isn't it?"

Colby smiled and said: "Besides, the British Labour Party is originally a left-wing party, and I am not surprised that they would play like this." In any case, the situation in Britain is different from that in the East, they do not have landless peasants, there are no land contradictions, and no matter how they carry out land reform in India, it will not affect the country. ”

"Well, that's true...... It seems that this method of land reform is only useful in the East and Eastern Europe. Cox thought for a moment and thought it was.

There is indeed no land contradiction in Britain today, because as early as hundreds of years ago, they played the enclosure movement, and then engaged in "sheep eating people", and the first unlucky ones were the poor middle peasants who had no land and little land. Over the past few hundred years, all the poor middle peasants have been forced to become workers, or they have emigrated to the colonies to become peasants. By the end of the century, there were no "peasants" in the Oriental sense in Britain, all of them were big landlords, or farmers.

In the same way, European countries such as France and Germany play the same game, and these countries now have no peasants in the Oriental sense, because the landless peasants are either dead, or have changed jobs, or emigrated. The so-called "peasants" in most European countries, if they let the East go, are at the level of landlords. Even France, which claims to be the least agricultural, has more than 30 acres (182 acres) of arable land for the fewest farmers.

Not to mention the United States, thanks to the Homestead Act, if the American farmer has less than 160 acres (971 acres) of arable land, he is embarrassed to say that he is a farmer when he goes out.

Therefore, in European and American countries with a high degree of industrialization, most of the lower-class civilians are not peasants, and those who are peasants are not short of land, not to mention colonies, so land reform is really not attractive to the lower-class. Naturally, they were not afraid of any peasant movement, and of course, on the contrary, what they feared most was the workers' movement.

Cox said, "Bainbridge, you say, will the British also carry out land reform in Africa?"

"Africa?ha, do those farm?" Colby laughed and said disdainfully, "Those are born slaves, and they can only farm under the command of their masters and under the supervision of the whip." Look at the three West African countries that we are supporting now, and they have allocated so much arable land, or are there famines every year......"

"When you say that, I also think that it was a mistake to let those build their own country, and we overestimated their abilities. I think they are simply relatives of orangutans......" At the mention of the three West African countries, Cox also felt speechless and had a headache.

Now the three West African countries they are supporting are completely a pile of rags, such as Togoland, which was a model for African colonies when the Germans ruled, and the best place for the whole African economy. In pre-World War I Africa, the level of infrastructure and production was one of the best. As a result, after the Black Corn took over, it didn't take long for this place to be ruined. Cameroon and Liberia are similar, and it didn't take long for the cheerful maules to eat up the U.S. aid, and then they began to fight among themselves, robbing each other of supplies.

As a result, large tracts of land have become barren and famine every year, and not only have they not been able to give blood transfusions to the United States, but they also need US aid in food, clothing, and daily necessities, which has given the United States a headache to death. Now these three countries have become the laughing stock of the whole world, and everyone says that this is the failure of the United States.

"But, James, if there were no three West African countries, how would we send those out of our country, and how could we have the opportunity to intervene in Africa? As for the little aid given to them, even if it is the price, it is nothing compared to the benefits we receive......" Colby said quickly. He is an important supporter and implementer of the strategy of supporting the founding of the country, and it is one thing to despise the Black Shu millet, but this policy cannot be said to be wrong, and he can't slap himself in the face.

Cox said helplessly: "Fake, why don't these damn niggas refuse to learn from East Africa?

Unfortunately, in the independent countries of Black Africa, East Africa has become "someone else's child". They are the most developed, and their agricultural production can not only fully meet domestic demand, but also export large quantities of coffee, cotton, cashew nuts, tobacco, sisal, pyrethrum, cloves and other agricultural products. Industry has also developed greatly, and the most powerful army and air force in Africa have been built, and even the navy seems to be the same, although in the eyes of the great powers that the small navy is not worth mentioning, but it is second to none among African countries. This makes Germany very happy, and often shows off "how our children are".

Colby spread his hands: "The blacks in East Africa and the blacks in West Africa are not the same breed, and most of the officials in the East African government are Germans or German-African people, and we only have a few advisers in the three West African countries......"

In order to set up a memorial arch for itself, the United States only trained some black officials after completing the handover, and then ignored it. There were no white officials in the governments of the three West African countries, only a few advisers were left, declaring that "this is to make the blacks completely independent, and we will not interfere in anything", but now I find myself too optimistic, and the black corn is not the material for running the country, and they have made a lot of. But now it's hard to collect the water, and it's hard to eat back the previous words, so I have to pinch my nose and admit it.

"Alright, alright, Bainbridge, let's not mention the. Cox interrupted Colby, he really didn't have any hope for the black corn, so he changed the subject and said: "Let's talk about South America, then damn Colombia has now annexed Venezuela, we can't let them annex Ecuador anymore!"

"Well, it's true, if Colombia were to annex Ecuador again, it would be troublesome. Venezuela is all waste, and it didn't last even a year......"

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Mr. Secretary, the Venezuelan army is not weak, it is Colombia that is too strong......"

Colby looked back and saw that it was the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Admiral Charles Somerall. This dude was sitting next to Chief of Naval Operations Frederick Hughes over coffee. They didn't interject in the conversation between the president and the secretary of state just now, and now when they heard about their profession, Summerrall couldn't help but say a few words.

"The equipment level of the Colombian army is not as good as that of Venezuela, but their generals are too strong, General Casillas's command level is extremely high, we have studied several of his battles, and his command art is a classic, he maximizes his own forces, and suppresses the enemy's equipment advantage to the minimum......" Referring to the Colombian "war hero" Casillas, Summerrol was full of praise.

Hughes was also talking: "Although I don't know much about the Army, but in this case, I don't think Ecuador can hold up, if we don't intervene......"

"Where did that Casillas come from, so powerful?"

"I don't care where he came from, the question is what are we going to do now? If Colombia really annexes Ecuador, our situation in South America will be completely passive!" President Cox was a little anxious.

This is President Cox's second term as president, and he is currently planning for a third term. But because of the loss of points on the South American issue, his image among the people plummeted. If he doesn't find a way to turn the situation around, his ambitious plan for a "three-term term" will be in vain. The general election begins next month, and the "great humanitarian" Herbert Hoover is eyeing him.

"But limited by the South American Neutrality Agreement, we can't intervene directly, damn old Europe......"

..................................................................

London, 10 Downing Street.

At a time when the American bigwigs are having a headache over the South American problem, the British bigwigs are also discussing the South American problem.

Since the success of their land reform policy in India, Prime Minister Macdonald and his Labour Party cabinet have been in a very happy mood during this time.

The lower classes of commoners and untouchables who had benefited from the British in the "land reform" had formed a new interest group and had become the staunchest supporters of Britain in India. Never before had British colonial policy in India been so widely supported. The British now understand that as long as they propagate: once India independence, it is the high castes who will be in power, and the land that we now give to you "honorary citizens" will be confiscated and looted by them. These low-class civilians, who had already benefited, of course, did not want to be oppressed any longer, and naturally stood firmly on the side of the British.

And many rebels also understand this, for those low-level civilians who are hungry and cold, and who are oppressed, who gives them benefits, who can make life better, then they will support whom. This is the nature of human beings, not to mention that they are not yet a nation, and they cannot even raise the banner of nationalism.

At present, most of the independent organizations in India, such as the Congress Party, are presided over by the upper elites and high castes, and the upper elites are also their basic disk, and their organizations cannot be separated from the support of these elites. Of course, they can't carry out land reform like the British and a few alternative rebel armies. Their class position determines that they must oppose the land reform, and they have to stand on the opposite side of the bottom of India, because the land reform is to reform the lives of these elites of the upper class, and there are only individuals who betray the class, not the class that betrays interests.

Therefore, the land reform of the British hit their weakness, no matter any country, the low-level civilians will always account for the vast majority of the population, and the upper-class elites are a minority. If the Indian independence movement cannot be supported by the people at the bottom, then the movement is a tree without roots and water without a source, and it is doomed to failure. Can those old men make any waves?

In addition, the Japanese mercenaries were also actively participating in the land reform carried out by the British, and Japan is now also a socialist country, and they have also experienced land reform in their own country. In the past, the employer didn't speak, and they didn't move, but now that the employer has spoken, they are naturally happy to participate.

So now the situation in India is becoming more and more stable, in addition to those few rebel armies that are also socialist style, they can still firmly control their own territory, and most of the rebel armies launched by the lord have hit the streets, and the remaining few are the most powerful.

So now Britain can have time to care about the situation in South America. Some time ago, because Britain and France were both involved in the colonies, the Allies took the opportunity to make trouble in South America and increase their support for the "forces of justice" in South America, that is, Colombia. Although the Entente and the Central Powers were in the same trench on this issue, and everyone joined forces to oppose the expansion of the United States in South America, there must be a priority.

If you're always playing, then our British Empire is too nonexistent!

“...... Bolivia is finished, under siege by Chile and Paraguay, they are losing one after another, losing most of their country, even the capital. Now only the northern provinces of Beni and Pando remain...... "The Chief of Army Staff began by introducing the current situation in South America.

"Peru has now lost more than half of its territory, leaving only the territory along the Amazon, and it is only a matter of time before it perishes......"

"Brazil and Argentina are now in a tug-of-war, neither side has a clear advantage, and no matter which of them wins, Uruguay is completely finished. The main battlefield of the AB war was Uruguay, a country with less than 50,000 people left and no longer worth existing. ”

"What about Colombia?" asked the prime minister.

"After Colombia annexed Venezuela, they began to invade Ecuador, they occupied most of Ecuador's territory, and they were at war with Chile. The situation on the west coast of South America is now complicated, with Colombia, Bolivia and Peru forming an alliance against Chile, Paraguay and Ecuador ......"

"God, what a mess," the prime minister said, "...... forehead.

"Prime Minister, this time Chile and Colombia have earned, and according to our intelligence, the two biggest winners have negotiated privately," the foreign minister said. China is also mediating between the two countries, and the United States has recently begun to put pressure on Colombia......"

After discussing for a long time, MacDonald finally made a decision: "Well, I think South America is enough now, they have been fighting for almost two years, and it's about the same." Let's get ready for mediation......"

Then he said, "...... Chile is backed by China, and they cannot be allowed to annex Peru and Bolivia altogether. Although Colombia is our support, Germany is also supporting it, and judging from their reaction, Germany has more influence, so they can't completely annex Ecuador!"

"Okay, Prime Minister, let's talk according to this bottom line......" The foreign secretary immediately agreed. "And what about Brazil and Argentina?"

"Leave them alone, they haven't fought enough anyway, and since they want to fight, let them fight more......" Prime Minister MacDonald smiled evilly. "In short, our current policy is to try to contain the United States and China, both of which have stretched their hands too long! Hmph, those rebel armies in India must have the support of China, don't think that they can hide it if they have no contact on the surface. The next step is to squeeze China's influence out of India......"

The British are not stupid, the rebel armies that Mr. Wen privately supports, whether in terms of behavior style or purpose, have a strong flavor of the Sci-Socialist Party, if you can't react for so long, it won't be a thousand-year-old-stirring stick.

But it's useless to know, now Niu Niu is afraid that China will find an excuse to directly intervene in India. One only has to look at the map to see that India, Malaya, and Yemen, the British colonies in the East, are all surrounded by China and the People's Revolutionary Union.

That's right, thanks to the concessions made by Britain before World War I, there are indeed no territorial disputes between China and Britain now. However, the fact that there are no territorial disputes with China does not mean that there are no territorial disputes with other countries. Now Siam, Persia, Nepal, Afghanistan and Arabia are all arguing with Britain over the territorial issue. Will China help that side still need to guess?

"Prime Minister, now we have to talk to China......" the Chancellor of the Exchequer suddenly spoke. Seeing that MacDonald's face was not very good, he said: "Prime Minister, you listen to this ...... first"

As he spoke, he picked up a document and read, "...... Last year, China's raw steel output reached 321.3 million tons, 300 million tons of steel. The output of grain is 880 million tons, the output of meat is 68.6 million tons, the output of raw coal is 510 million tons, the output of cotton yarn is 3.43 million tons, the power generation capacity is 2,898 billion kilowatts, the number of merchant ships is 27.32 million tons, the output of automobiles is 11.8 million, and the railway operating mileage is close to 370,000 kilometers......"

The crowd fell silent. MacDonald felt his throat a little dry.

"Your Excellency, do you think it is wise to go against such a behemoth? On the Eastern issue, there is a need for a temporary contraction, and our finances are already tight. The Chancellor said: "If we go to war with China, the consequences will be catastrophic, and India will certainly not be able to save it." What's more, Japan is now a member of the People's Revolutionary Union......"

MacDonald touched the cold sweat on his forehead and asked, "So what do you mean?"

"I have a suggestion...... "The Chancellor of the Exchequer pulled out a paper.
