Among the great powers, the existence of the United States is definitely the most special, and it is also the country with the most complex comprehensive national conditions.

As a country of immigrants, especially the most popular immigration country before World War I, the United States has a relatively large number of ethnic groups.

Although they are collectively referred to as Americans, they are divided into British, French, German, and so on.

Coupled with the previous slave trade, immigrants and smugglers from East Asia, the population of the United States was divided into black, white, and yellow.

What's worse is that the famous Lincoln gave human rights to black Americans in the United States, and although this allowed the United States to win the Civil War, the conflict between blacks and whites has also become an important factor affecting the stability of the United States.

It is no exaggeration to say that if one day the United States finally goes to division, then the contradictions and conflicts between races are definitely one of the most important reasons.

At this point in time, compared with later generations, the human rights of black people are not so stable, and there are still a large number of whites who discriminate against black people, or even do not treat black people as human beings.

But decades have passed since the Civil War, and blacks are demanding more human rights and even becoming a normal American.

After the bombardment of public opinion in Australasia and Britain, the demonstrations in the United States have become more and more intense, and the content is no longer to demand that the United States withdraw from the war in Central America, but to become a human rights issue between blacks and whites, to resist the atrocities committed by the United States government against the Indians, and to oppose the current President Coolidge.

If nothing else, the United States is definitely more chaotic now. None of these problems are easy to deal with, and they can make the situation in the United States worse at any time.

The biggest problem for the United States at present is, how to deal with the bombardment of public opinion in Britain and Australasia?

If you fight back, you don't have to think much about the public opinion that affects Australasia. Australasia's control over public opinion propaganda is still very strict, and it is almost impossible for the United States to sanction Australasia in terms of public opinion propaganda.

And the British are not very afraid of the counterattack of the Americans at the moment. The Irish question is already a cliché, and it has long been resolved, and it does not make much of a storm.

The exploitation of the African and Indian colonies was well known to Britain, and most Britons took it for granted, and it was impossible to influence the British government.

What else can be promoted? It cannot be said that the United States was a British colony before, and the policy of massacring Indians began during the British colonial rule.

Although it is true that this can get rid of some of the black cauldron, the question is, isn't this a self-surrendering identity?

If the bombardment of public opinion is only the first threat to the Americans, then increasing support for the Philippines is the second threat of Australasia to the United States.

With the transportation of a new batch of weapons and equipment from Australasia to the Philippines, the Philippine offensive has become fierce, and the tacit understanding with the American army has not been maintained.

Even the offensive of the Philippine army has a tendency to drive the Americans into the sea, and the American troops stationed in the port are no longer tolerated, and they have no intention of playing a showlike war of attrition with the United States.

On the first day of the arrival of the weapons and equipment, the Philippine army and the U.S. garrison in Manila engaged in an all-round offensive and defensive battle.

The Philippine army suffered more than 1,500 casualties, but it also caused at least 300 dead and 600 wounded to the U.S. military.

Although the casualties do not appear to be equal, the U.S. military controls the firepower and defensive superiority, and the casualty ratio is normal.

What's more, the U.S. military has only a few thousand troops, while the Philippine military has grown to more than 100,000 troops.

The first day of the war was only an attack by a small number of Philippine troops, and then the American army had to face more Philippine troops, and whether they could hold the port of Manila was a question.

If the Philippines is lost before the end of the peace talks, the Americans will lose an important condition for the peace talks, and they will inevitably have to pay a greater price.

This is something that the Americans do not want to see, but they cannot openly send more aid to the Philippines, and can only hope that the American troops in the Philippines can hold on, at least for the entire duration of the negotiations.

But things turned out clearly beyond the expectations of the Americans. Australasia's assistance was mainly in the area of ammunition, especially artillery shells, which provided more than 500,000 rounds at one time.

Arthur had only one request for the Philippines, that is, to launch an all-out attack on the US army in a short period of time, with enough bullets and shells, and as fierce as the firepower cover.

The Filipinos did not dare to disobey Arthur's request, although they were very distressed, but they also bombarded the consumption of more than 150,000 shells in three days.

Although such consumption is far behind the Australasian army, after all, the weapons and equipment of the Philippine army are not the same, and the number of artillery is far behind, so such consumption is already okay.

For the first time in several years, the US troops, who are huddled in ports and military bases, have experienced such indiscriminate bombardment.

Don't put too much faith in the military literacy of the American army, because they will hide in the defensive base at the first moment of artillery fire, and it doesn't matter whether they fight back or not.

There are even some American soldiers, in order to force their own tasks, bullets are fired everywhere as if they don't need money, just to prove that they have consumed bullets in the war and counterattacked the enemy.

As for whether the enemy was in the sky or in the ground, there was no one to supervise the bombing anyway, and naturally no one could have actually considered it.

On the third day of the all-out offensive in the Philippines, the U.S. Army's player telegrams had been frantically sending to the U.S. government for three days.

But it is clear that the ports of the Philippines are under martial law, and the fleets of Great Britain and Australasia are patrolling, which is unlikely to allow American support forces to come close to the ports.

Without reinforcements, the U.S. army is doomed to hold out for a few days, and it is only a matter of time before it is defeated.

Under such pressure, the United States eventually backed down and agreed to Britain's demands for more Central American countries, but was unwilling to give up the Panama Canal.

In addition to Nicaragua, the United States is willing to give up the Republic of Guatemala, which is closer to Mexico and Honduras.

Guatemala, despite its larger size, is the farther Central American country from Panama.

The Americans in Costa Rica, which is relatively close to Panama, are reluctant to give up, which is equivalent to a buffer zone between Panama and Nicaragua, and is also the first line of defense for the United States against Central American and British forces.

The attitude of the Americans on the Panama Canal is indeed firm, and even directly stated that they will not hesitate to fight for the Panama Canal.

Perhaps they also saw the final bottom line of the Americans, knowing that it was no longer possible to obtain the Panama Canal, and the British gradually gave up their claim to the Panama Canal.

Eventually, Australasia, the United Kingdom, and the United States reached an agreement whereby the United States withdrew from Nicaragua, Guatemala, and El Salvador, and withdrew all troops stationed in Costa Rica.

In addition, the United States allowed the Philippines to become independent, form any system of government on its own, and withdraw all troops in the Philippines, relinquishing sovereignty over the Philippines and its dependent islands.

In return for the United States, Panama and the Panama Canal will continue to be managed by the United States, and Britain may not interfere for any reason.

As buffer states between Panama and Nicaragua, the three countries that signed the agreement are not allowed to build any military bases in Costa Rica, but only allow civilian economic development and cooperation.

The Americans specifically demanded that the contents of the agreement not be exposed in the short term, and that all public opinion in the United States be stopped.

Arthur and Britain will naturally agree to this, after all, if the trouble continues, it will be a war, and it is not appropriate to start a full-scale war with the United States at present, and no one can afford such losses.

Having achieved their goal, Britain and Australasia are still relatively happy.

Although it did not directly obtain the Panama Canal, the expansion of power in Central America was equivalent to weakening the United States.

The happiest is Australasia. Having successfully acquired the Philippines and El Salvador, Australasia's expansion policy on both sides of the Pacific has been more than half completed.

As long as the country is well controlled, the Philippines is also a very important help for Australasia.

In particular, the relatively rich population of the Philippines can provide a large amount of cannon fodder for Australasia in the ensuing war.

However, if a part of the more elite Philippine army is trained, the combat effectiveness that can be provided is still considerable.

As the saying goes, the bullets fired by soldiers and children are equally lethal, and the firepower of a well-equipped Philippine army is also guaranteed.

Although the U.S. government is the only country that has suffered heavy losses, for the current Coolidge administration, such an outcome is acceptable.

After all, Panama and the Panama Canal are still preserved, and the United States is at least not in a too serious crisis.

Moreover, the signing of this agreement was concealed, and the United States could also declare that it would voluntarily withdraw from these areas in exchange for the favor of the people.

Anyway, the evacuation of these areas is the hope of the people, and on the premise of ensuring the safety of the Panama Canal, what can the people in these areas say?

However, after this incident, President Coolidge also realized the importance of public opinion to the national government.

After the agreement was signed, President Coolidge also demanded that the propaganda department impose stricter restrictions on the publication of newspapers, and even take the attitude of banning alcohol.

This is not an exaggeration, President Coolidge was really frightened by the pressure of public opinion.

Other countries have launched some public opinion offensives, and the United States has actually had a serious political crisis, and even a president cannot accept such a situation.

President Coolidge is even more afraid of another such public opinion attack from Britain and Australasia, and President Coolidge does not want to experience that kind of fearful day for a day.
