"There really is no shadow of other countries." Foreign Minister Daizer said: "But judging by the reaction of the British, there is a lot of interest in intervening in the Nicaraguan civil war, and there will even be action soon." ”

Arthur expressed great understanding of the impatience of the British. At present, the position of the British Empire as the world's number one power is very secure, and the United States, its biggest competitor, is also on the verge of being weakened.

The reason why the United States has suffered such a major crisis is that the British have the shadow of the British in many events.

If the Nicaraguan Civil War can be used to deal another blow to the Americans, or even directly control the Panama Canal, this is crucial for a possible potential Anglo-American hegemony.

Once the Panama Canal is in control, the U.S. Pacific Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet will be split into two parts, which will greatly reduce the threat to the U.S. Navy.

The native fleet of the British Empire could easily cope with the Atlantic Fleet of the United States, and the Pacific Fleet of the United States with the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Persian Gulf Fleet in Australasia.

The United States, having lost its naval threat, is even less threatening militarily than Italy. You can't expect those American GIs to do something, can you?

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the US Army, the United States, which is blockaded on the sea, has lost its threat to any region except North America.

However, this is also an ideal situation, after all, the United States still has an ally island country, and the United States and island countries together are also worthy of the full efforts of the United Kingdom and Australasia.

"Tell the British that Australasia is showing support for British action in Central America, but that Australasia should also get the benefits it deserves." Arthur nodded and gave his reply.

Supporting the actions of the British was necessary because weakening the United States was also what Arthur and Australasia wanted to see.

Britain is powerful, but Britain's strength is good for Australasia, because there is no obvious conflict of interest between the two countries, but they are natural allies.

But the United States is different, if there are no restrictions on the United States, Europe will experience another round of weakening, and the throne of world hegemony is destined to be the United States.

Britain is strong and the United States is strong and has two obvious characteristics, Britain is strong and has many enemies in Europe, but the United States has no enemies in the Americas, and the farther enemy is Australasia in Australia.

The strength of the United States would not do Australasia any good, unless Australasia only wanted to be a country cowering in Oceania.

But is it possible? This is simply not possible based on Australasia's current operations and strategic national focus.

In addition to the natural advantages of land size and population, the great ambition of a great power country is also one of the reasons why it is a great power.

Looking at all the great powers, which one has no ambitions?

Even Italy, which did not have a strong sense of existence, took the initiative to provoke many wars and plundered a considerable part of the colony.

It is no exaggeration to say that even medium-sized countries have extraordinary ambitions. In this era of the jungle, only with extraordinary ambition can you make your country stronger.

The kind of master of the rule of achievement can't do much in this era, because if you don't have ambition, there will be ambitious countries that will overtake you and then covet your status and resources.

"Your Majesty, what kind of needs should we strive for?" Foreign Minister Dai Ze asked tentatively.

In this kind of matter related to the national interest, Arthur's opinion is the final decision. Even Foreign Minister Dazzle could not make decisions for Arthur on his own.

"El Salvador, or more territory in the Persian Gulf." Arthur smiled and said: "Australasia can't just be attached to Oceania, our goal should be the wider world. ”

El Salvador is also a Central American country, but it is located far from the Panama Canal and is on the Pacific coast, surrounded by Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.

Compared to other Central American countries, El Salvador is smaller in size and does not seem to be as important.

Australasia's fight for this region would not offend the interests of the British, and it would also allow Australasia to secure a military base and sphere of influence in Central America.

Needless to say, the importance of a military base, especially an overseas military base, can greatly strengthen overseas influence and control a region.

If Australasia had a military base in Central America, it could pose a direct threat to the United States, especially if it had an atomic bomb, the threat to the United States would be deadly.

Not to mention the Persian Gulf region, the oil in the Persian Gulf is an important energy source, and occupying more of the Persian Gulf region is equivalent to creating more revenue for Australasia.

"I understand, Your Majesty. Please rest assured that I will try my best to fight for as many interests as possible for the country. Minister Dai Ze nodded and said very solemnly.

London.

Immediately after the outbreak of the Nicaraguan Civil War, the London government was busy seeking the opinions of various countries.

Fortunately, there are not many powers that have enough say at the moment, and the main thing the British ask is the views of France and Australasia.

The current British Prime Minister is Baldwin, and he is surrounded by the new British cabinet.

"Gentlemen, now is the most important time for the British Empire. We must do everything we can to control the Panama Canal and stifle the United States, the greatest potential threat. Prime Minister Baldwin looked at his subordinates expectantly, and said with some impatience.

If he can tackle Britain's current biggest adversary during his tenure, he will be no less meritorious than Prime Minister Lloyd George, who won the first war.

What's more, the British Empire would be invincible in the world after that, and even during his tenure, there was hope to rebuild the glory of the Victorian period.

"Your Excellency, what is our purpose? Will it intervene in this civil war by force, or will it simply make some trouble for the Americans? The Foreign Secretary looked at Baldwin and asked.

The attitude of the Prime Minister is very important, which also determines the toughness of the British Empire's attitude in this incident, and even determines whether the British Empire wants to intervene in this civil war by force.

"What is the opinion of the Australasian side?" Prime Minister Baldwin did not respond directly, but asked questions that he was deeply concerned about.

"The Australasian diplomatic service has responded that they will agree to any of our actions in Central America if we support their expansion in the Persian Gulf region and allow them to occupy El Salvador." The Foreign Secretary replied fluently.

"The expansion of the Persian Gulf and the occupation of El Salvador? Oh my God, why are they so greedy? Prime Minister Baldwin was surprised, and asked with some surprise.

"Their diplomatic department has already said that this is the opinion of His Majesty Arthur, and they can't change it." The foreign minister shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

As two countries with relatively close relations, they naturally also have some knowledge of Australasia's political system.

Compared with George V, who has now lost power in Britain, Arthur's position in Australasia is unquestionable, and no one can provoke it.

"Tell them that we are not against their occupation of El Salvador, and at the same time we are not against their encroachment on the interior of the Persian Gulf. But we can't do anything against the opposition of other countries, and the British Empire is not representative of the whole world. Prime Minister Baldwin pondered for a moment before giving his answer.

"This... I'm afraid Australasia won't agree, right? "The Foreign Minister hesitated, which was a far cry from what Australasia had requested, and even the British Empire did not show support.

The British Minister of Finance at that time was Chamberlain, not the one who played 100 points in basketball in later generations, but the famous Prime Minister Chamberlain.

Speaking of Prime Minister Chamberlain's early political career, it was not so smooth.

Especially in recent times, the change of British politics has also been quite rapid.

In 1922, Bernal Law became the new Prime Minister, Chamberlain became the Director General of the Post, and a few months later he joined the British Cabinet as Minister of Health.

But soon, for various reasons, Baldwin took over as the new prime minister and appointed Chamberlain, the former health minister, as the chancellor of the exchequer, ending the history of the British prime minister concurrently serving as the chancellor of the exchequer.

But this does not mean that Chamberlain's path was smooth, if Arthur remembers correctly, the Baldwin cabinet collapsed in less than a year, and Chamberlain went through the chancellor of health and then the chancellor of the exchequer, and finally became the new prime minister of the United Kingdom in 1937.

Although the political journey was not smooth, Chamberlain, who had just become Chancellor of the Exchequer, was still very good at expressing his opinions.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think we should be quite respectful of the interests of our ally Australasia. The Persian Gulf and El Salvador, we have to choose one and give Australasia unwavering support. It's not just about our actions in Nicaragua, it's about the stability of the Anglo-Australian alliance. At present, because of the changes in Russia, the Anglo-Australian alliance is our most important alliance, far more important than the Entente and the World Alliance. Please think carefully about your decision and carefully consider the interests of our allies. Chancellor of the Exchequer Chamberlain said with a serious face.

"Man, you're probably right. So be it, we support Australasia's expansion inland in the Persian Gulf, but the matter of El Salvador is left to Australasia to settle on its own, and we will not provide support, but we will not oppose Australasia's actions. "The joint advice of the foreign minister and the finance minister was heeded even by Prime Minister Baldwin.

Of course, what the two people said is indeed reasonable and very important, after all, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Foreign Affairs also have great powers, and the Minister of Finance was concurrently held by the Prime Minister before, which is enough to see how much power the Ministry of Finance has.
