The civil war in El Salvador was the last straw that broke the camel's back, prompting the American people to condemn the government and marching to demand that the government use force to retake these areas as soon as possible.

The Panama Canal, in particular, is about the interests of all Americans, as well as the ease of transportation between the east and west coasts of the United States.

The Panama Canal is no less important to the United States than the Strait of Malacca is to East Asia and the Suez Canal is to the Mediterranean countries.

With the Panama Canal, Americans can freely cross the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by simply bypassing Central America.

But if the Panama Canal is lost, or even in the hands of America's enemies and competitors, then the Americans will have to bypass an entire South America when traveling between the east and west coasts.

This not only increases the cost of the journey, but also adds more time consumption. In this way, the development of the US economy will be hindered, which is a top priority for the United States.

"Incompetent Coolidge government, you are simply weaker than the Wilson government!"

"The United States has not been a great power country since the beginning of the Great War, because it has ushered in two of the most incompetent presidents in succession!"

"Why is the huge United States afraid of rebellion in small countries? What the hell is our government doing? ”

Since mid-to-late March, such reports have frequently appeared in American newspapers, and they have also shown the dissatisfaction of the American people and opposition parties with the current US administration.

The U.S. government was so busy with this that President Coolidge's reputation in the United States dropped a lot in an instant.

While the Americans were busy, the British government also announced in a high-profile manner that it would support the civil wars in Central American countries and end peace in the region as soon as possible.

This issue has won the approval of a majority of the countries in the world alliance, and although it does not get the world alliance to agree to armed intervention, it already has an inherent moral advantage.

At the same time, Australasia publicly recognized the spirit of resistance in Central America and announced its support for the rebels in El Salvador.

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, directly causing the collapse of American domination in Central America.

Although France was not interested in armed intervention in Central America, it would not stand up against the British, after all, they also had a pin deal with the British, gaining the right to further squeeze the Germans.

Since Britain and Australia announced their support for the rebels in Central America, contacts between the US government and the island nation have become more frequent.

But neither the United States nor the island nations have the confidence to unite against Australasia and the United Kingdom.

Although the land forces of the island nation have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, the combined navies of the United Kingdom and Australasia are absolutely capable of a complete blockade of the island country.

The army of the island country cannot go to sea, and the deterrent power of Britain and Australasia is naturally infinitely close to zero.

Moreover, it is impossible for the island countries to do their best for the Central America of the United States, after all, the so-called island-American alliance is not so close.

The backstabbing of the two countries in the negotiation of the Treaty of Naval Restriction, combined with the gap between the two countries brought by the flu, makes it unlikely that the two countries will be in agreement.

Fortunately, the British had no intention of going to war with the United States directly, and while President Coolidge was relieved, he could only hope that the American army would be able to suppress the local rebellion.

This chaos in Central America turned Central America directly into a chessboard, with the United States and pro-American forces, as well as Britain and Australasia becoming chess players.

While the United States has an absolute advantage in distance, the United Kingdom and Australasia are stronger in terms of overall strength, and they also have a nominal advantage, which is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

Although it seems to be a war between the local governments and the rebel forces in these countries at present, what really affects the direction of these wars is actually the game of the powers behind these countries and forces.

Fortunately, El Salvador is only a small country, and Australasia only needs some assistance to help Carlos Herrera Iruna gain government sovereignty in El Salvador.

The remaining big countries were left to the British to plan, and the British and Americans played in Central America, and Arthur was waiting to eat melons and watch the show.

There were many international events in 1923, but the development of Australasia was also important before focusing on these international events.

In the second half of last year, three R108 battleships, which had been built for more than a year, ushered in the launch test, which also made the Sydney shipyard finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the delay of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was indeed strong, and several countries had their own problems in the negotiations, so the naval limitation treaty was not signed until the new year.

However, this did not in any way prevent naval tests in Australasia.

According to the schedule given by the shipyard, the first R108 battleship is expected to complete the launch tests by the middle of this year and be officially equipped into the queue of the Navy.

The remaining two battleships are expected to complete the launch test phase in the second half of this year, and will not be delayed until next year at the latest.

This also means that within this year, Australasia is expected to usher in the addition of three super battleships, which will completely consolidate Australasia's naval strength, and Australasia will not be afraid of any country in terms of navy.

After the construction of all three R108 battleships, Australasia did not delay in the Treaty of Naval Limitations.

However, so far the treaty has not been formally signed, and the reasons for this are worth pondering.

There is also good news in Australasia, that is, the construction of the fourth phase of the Leonora Industrial Base is basically completed.

More than four years have passed since the start of the construction of the fourth phase of the construction plan.

Although I experienced accidents such as influenza along the way, it still did not hinder the overall progress of the fourth phase of construction too much.

Of course, the Cabinet Government has appropriately accelerated the progress of the fourth phase of the construction plan of the Leonora Industrial Park, after all, this year is 1923, and the Cabinet Government is about to usher in a new round of changes.

As long as the construction of the fourth phase of the industrial base is completed as soon as possible and put into operation quickly, the performance of the cabinet government will look a little better, and it will be easier for some cabinet members to seek re-election.

After all, in Australasia, cabinet officials want to seek re-election, and one of the most important is their performance during their tenure.

In the past 20 years or so, the Cabinet government has not made any major mistakes, and this has made great demands on the re-election of Cabinet members.

It is necessary not to make mistakes, or even to have a good political record, to be eligible to be re-elected.

Although most of the cabinet members are likely to be re-elected, Australasia is still very competitive in politics as one of the world's great powers.

After years of development, political parties are no longer as few as they used to be. At present, there are more than 100 political parties registered in Australasia, and as many as 27 parties according to the seats in the House of Representatives, which is enough to see the degree of involution in the current political competition.

Fortunately, these political parties are strictly vetted and managed by the Royal Parliament and the Electoral Commission, and Australasia's crackdown on illegal political parties is still very strong, which also means that most of the political parties are within Arthur's control, and such a development does not harm Arthur's rights and does not threaten anything.

However, this has made it difficult for the cabinet officials and other political parties, and the competition between the Australasian political parties is relatively level, and even the funds for the activities of the various political parties are evenly distributed.

This also means that there will not be much disparity between political parties in terms of funding and financial resources.

If political parties want to win more popular support and thus more seats in the House of Representatives, they must seriously consider the interests of the people, rather than just talking about promises without regard to actual actions.

The factories and warehouses built in the fourth phase of the Leonora Industrial Base have been officially put into production, hundreds of factories have been introduced, and they are still attracting investment.

A steady stream of small and medium-sized manufacturers also choose to relocate to the industrial base, after all, there is a more developed industrial system within the industrial base, whether it is the purchase of raw materials or the sale of industrial products, it is much more convenient.

Of course, Arthur would never allow the Leonora Industrial Base to dominate in Australasia.

There is no other reason, the most important is for the sake of national security.

Although countries do not yet have the ability to control long-range strikes, this does not mean that countries around the world will not control it in the future.

For the sake of national security, industry can be concentrated, but not too centralized. The Leonora Industrial Base will be the leader of the western Australasian industry, but there should also be large and small industrial bases and industrial zones in the states and other administrative regions to achieve a multi-point flowering situation.

At present, the construction of industry in New Zealand is also relatively smooth, although the industrial base of North and South New Zealand is not large, but together it can contribute more than 100,000 jobs, providing considerable economic contribution to North and South New Zealand, and it is also a large local taxpayer.

This is also true in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

Several states in the Australian region have the best economies in Australasia, with the exception of the smaller state of Tasmania and the newly formed state of Northern Australia, the Capital Territory.

This also makes the state governments of these states relatively wealthy, and the infrastructure of these states is relatively complete compared to other states.

However, Australasia's infrastructure is based on the planning of the highest government, and even Timor, which has just been established as a state, has already caught up.

This kind of system, which is planned by the supreme government and has a certain amount of free space for the state government to build, is still more suitable for the development of Australasia.

If power is too centralized, there is no room for state governments to play accordingly. But if power is too decentralized, and the state government has too much autonomy, it is not a good thing for the unity and stability of the country.

How to measure between the two levels of government and explore a more balanced political system that is suitable for the development of Australasia without harming the two levels of government is what Australasia has been doing for more than 20 years.

At present, it seems that the current system is still very good, the state government has relatively free autonomy, but it is subject to the control of the national government, and there is no military power, which will not cause damage to the unity of the country.
