Chapter 1161: The conscience of politicians

There are also Americans who are also unwilling to do so. They obviously only followed the soy sauce once, and they want to enjoy the treatment similar to the villain's protagonist, the British Empire.
So many member states of the Ocean Alliance have participated in this war. Why should they enjoy special care?
If the reason is not found, the government is incompetent. Other countries know to stop losses in time, but they followed the British one by one to the black, isn't it incompetence?
As for the efforts of the Washington government, I’m sorry, this is an era where heroes are judged by success or failure. Regardless of the reasons, failure is failure.
As soon as the content of the treaty was spread, the United States was fried. Massive demonstrations have erupted in various states, and the situation is only slightly better than Japan.
In Washington, deafening protests resounded across the sky, as clearly as they were in the White House.
Theodore Roosevelt has a very headache now. Opposition lawmakers have submitted an impeachment case to Congress. If nothing else, the next time Congress opens, a vote will be held.
Judging from the current situation, if the issue of the Vienna Agreement cannot be resolved, he will become another president impeached and stepped down in American history.
How easy is it to overthrow the Vienna Agreement? If it can be refused, the representative of the United States will not sign at all.
Facing the Continental Alliance, the power of the United States is too small. At the Vienna Peace Conference, the delegation of the United States has no right to speak.
They were not notified to sign until the treaty was concluded. Not signing is a war, and the Japanese first learned the consequences of rejection.
Instead of accepting the reality after being beaten by the society, it is better to face it actively. The delegation of the United States was forced to sign at the peace meeting.
Looking at the content of the treaty, Roosevelt's hands trembled as if it were too heavy. In addition to the acceptable cession of the colony, other terms are pitfalls.
Needless to say, the huge amount of war reparations is an astronomical figure. Everyone in the United States has to fight for three years without eating or drinking.
The United States is a large-scale copycat factory these days, and its industrial technology is far behind Europe, and the military industry is no exception.
Although advanced weapons such as airplanes and tanks can be manufactured, the military refuses to use them. It is conceivable that the performance will be pitted.
Anyway, advanced weapons have to be imported from abroad, and the closure of the military industry seems to have little effect.
Obviously, this is just the opinion of ordinary people. As a politician, Roosevelt knew very well the consequences of not having a military industry.
If it really agrees, then the United States will obediently become a second-rate country, an international echo, and just develop the economy.
But the problem is that the current situation simply cannot tolerate the rejection of the United States. War is easy to talk about. Don't look at the shocking slogans outside. If it really starts, it will have another ending.
Anyone who knows a little about the United States knows that since the independence of the South, the reputation of the Washington government has plummeted, and the binding force on the states has further declined.
Successive Washington governments have been trying to integrate the various states in the country. Including participation in this war, in addition to the promotion of domestic interest groups, it also means taking the opportunity to integrate the domestic states.
It's a pity that the United States was out of luck, and the world war ended before the states in the country could be integrated.
How is the United States, which is scattered and sandy, an opponent of the Continental Alliance?
As far as Roosevelt knew, the strength of the pocket army of the United States did not necessarily have the combat effectiveness of the militia of certain states in the country.
When the Washington government dares to go to war, the following states dare to play neutral. Don't think that self-protection in the southeast is the patent of the Far East Empire. The Western world has already appeared.
If it is urgent, it might be directly independent. The big deal is to collude with the Mainland Alliance, anyway, don't expect everyone to be buried together.
Counting on the bourgeoisie at this time is dreaming. For capitalists, the most important thing is always their own wealth, rather than safeguarding the sovereignty of the United States.
Interest groups can't count on it, and the people can't count on it either. It's okay for patriotic youths to shout slogans. They are really going to war with the Continental Alliance. First, we will understand the composition of the United States.
It was originally a European immigrant, and God knows how many people have contact with their home country.
Just ask someone on the street. He may tell you it is: English, Irish, Austrian, Russian, Belgian... just don't say he is American.
The real unification of the original United States of Time and Space was also a matter after the First World War. Before that, everyone was a foreigner.
It is obviously unrealistic to expect a group of foreigners to defend the United States. As long as the Continental Alliance can afford the price, we are not afraid that there will be no leading party.
It can be said that now 99% of Americans are unwilling to break out a war with the Continental Alliance.
Even President Roosevelt himself did not want to break out of war with the Continental Alliance at this time, because it meant that the guillotine was not far away.
The war criminals were not pursued in this world war because the British government surrendered quickly, and if France was slower, it would be a lesson.
The emperor of France and the nobles escaped a disaster because everyone played in a political circle. War criminals outside the circle, as long as they are caught, they all go to the guillotine.
"Is there no room for maneuver?"
Roosevelt asked helplessly.
"No!"
Secretary of State Pete replied affirmatively, and then explained: "According to the top-secret information from Vienna, Franz the Great intends to abdicate early.
With his style, he will definitely leave a stable world for his son. Before that, he must clear up hidden dangers that may cause trouble.
Unfortunately, we happened to bump into it and gave the Vienna government a chance to make use of it. This armistice treaty is a conspiracy to split the United States.
There has now been a gossip: If the states do not want to bear huge war reparations, they can simply leave the United States.
In my personal judgment, this news should be true. According to the provisions of the Vienna Agreement, the Holy Roman Empire took away nearly four-fifths of the war reparations, and exempting part of the war reparations is nothing.
The amount of war reparations is too large for our central government to afford, and it is bound to be shared among the federal states.
Once we start to allocate, the big trouble will come. No matter what method is used for distribution, it will not satisfy everyone.
Especially for the economically underdeveloped federal states in the Midwest, where there had been fiscal deficits for years, and then a war reparation, I could hardly imagine the consequences! "
Split, this is a more serious topic than defeat. Since the establishment of the United States, internal contradictions have never been less.
The same are immigrants, but they are also divided into three, six or nine classes. Generally speaking, the contempt chain of the European world is still used. Western Europe looks down on Central Europe, and Central Europe looks down on Eastern Europe.
As for Southern Europe and Northern Europe, there has always been no sense of existence. They are considered to be somewhere between Central and Eastern Europe, and are often ignored.
With the revival of the Holy Roman Empire, the chain of contempt in the European world has gradually changed, but the social hierarchy of the United States continues.
Now the highest social status is naturally the English, then the immigrants from Shenluo and France, then the immigrants from Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries, and the immigrants from Italy, Eastern Europe and the Irish are at the bottom of the society.
The immigrants of colored people further down, let alone have no social status at all.
Because the time of immigration is not the same, the divisions of different ethnic groups in the United States are not balanced. For example, most of the English immigrants are concentrated in the eastern states, and the proportion of the Midwest is relatively small.
This kind of population segment, you can't see much in normal times, but the problem is big at the critical moment.
Once the Continental League hooks up with these peoples, things can be done in minutes. At least Irish people at the bottom of society are unwilling to eat in the same pot with English people.
Just like the Civil War, the originally neutral states fell to the south due to the interference of European powers.
Now the trouble is even greater. The European world is already the dominant one, and the Holy Roman Empire has basically completed the integration of the European continent.
Looking out the window, Roosevelt sighed and slowly said: "As much as possible to appease the federal states, in any case, we can't split the United States again, or we will be sinners of history!"
He speaks hard but has no bottom in his heart. The terrible thing about Yangmou is that he knows the enemy's plan, but he can't do anything to stop it.
"Tolerance for the country" is not suitable for the United States. Since it was established because of interests, it is naturally possible to separate families because of interests. Southern independence is the best proof.
With the development of the economy, the differences between the east and the west of the United States have become increasingly obvious. Without the help of the Panama Canal, the economy of the western federal states has not improved.
Consortiums in the east regard the Midwest as an economic colony, and the Midwestern states are equally unwilling to show weakness and play tit-for-tat local trade protection.
Coupled with the challenge of international forces, the relations between the eastern states and the central and western states have always been poor. Washington, which should have coordinated conflicts, has been very weak in the face of the domestic "lords".
The plan to integrate the country failed, and Roosevelt had no hope for the future of the United States. Trying to maintain national unity is already a politician's final "ethics".
I saw Secretary of State Pete shook his head: "Mr. President, I don't think we need to consider these issues anymore. Maybe next week, the owner will change here.
The opposition party should be unaware of the enemy's conspiracy to split the United States, and it is now busy ousting us from power in order to realize its political ideas. "
I don't know why, but I always feel that Pete is "splendid".
Originally, they were unlucky enough. They were sent to chariots by domestic interest groups, lost their names before and after their lives, and were nailed to a pillar of shame.
Unexpectedly, at this darkest moment, there are still people who take the initiative to jump into the pit.
They have stolen the pot of war, but compared with splitting the United States, the responsibility for defeat is still lighter.
Just like in the current history books of the United States, the worst president has always been the hapless Lincoln, not other real messy bastards.
After a daze, Roosevelt nodded slightly. After a series of bad news, I finally received good news.
"Ok!"
"The matter involves the Holy Roman Empire, and we must deal with it carefully. We must strictly keep confidential before we are uncertain whether the matter is true or false.
Collect relevant information first. If we are really impeached and stepped down, then hand over the information to the next one, and we must not allow the United States to split..."
People don't want to die for themselves, and someone rushes up to take the market, Roosevelt will naturally not stop him.
If the interest groups behind him were not allowed to retreat, Roosevelt would have quit.
Now that the opposition party wants to seize power, that would be better. After being impeached, he stepped down and was able to explain to all parties.
As for the enemy's conspiracy, it is left to the next one to solve it. Anyway, this is the tradition of the United States, almost every government will more or less leave trouble for the next.
Roosevelt was considered conscientious. At least he collected information. If he pretended to be confused, the next government would not even have time to respond.
...
Canada, with the signing of the Vienna Agreement, the dominion government had to face the problem of retreat.
"The London government has repeatedly urged us to start the retreat as soon as possible, and the enemy will come back later.
I can hardly imagine how to explain it to the people. Once the news spreads, I'm afraid they will want to tear me up! "
Prime Minister Mackenzie Powell complained.
Rebellious?
If the troops of the Holy Roman Empire won't come, everyone doesn't mind arguing with the London government.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work now. The World War is lost and the British government cannot protect itself. The Canadian Dominion has become an abandoned son.
It's okay for my family to be upset. Facing the fierce Shinra army, the dominion government really has no confidence.
The more people know, the more they know awe. An enemy that the British Empire cannot resist, what can the Dominion of Canada do to resist?
Don't hesitate to fight, it sounds good, but it is difficult to do. With a population of millions of people in Canada, it is undoubtedly a pebble hitting a rock against the hegemon of the world.
Besides, there are orders from the London government. All the people present do not need to bear the responsibility of losing Canada.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Abandoning Canada is an order of the London government. It is not your opinion. I believe the public will understand.
Anyway, it can't be delayed anymore. If we solve it earlier, we can retire earlier. I haven't had a country for many years, and I don't know what the country is like now.
It is estimated that it will not be too good. I heard that the enemy's bombing is very fierce. I hope the situation will not be too bad! "
Charles said slowly.
Unlike Mackenzie Powell, who has lived in Canada for decades, Charles is a civil servant directly appointed by the London government. He has just come here for a few years and naturally does not have a strong sense of belonging to the Canadian Dominion.
If you lose it, you will lose it, and there will be a colony on the left and right. The colonial empire has collapsed, even India is gone, let alone Canada, where birds don’t lay eggs.
As a qualified civil servant, Charles has earned enough in the past few years. Without this job, he happened to return to China earlier to reunite with his relatives.
"Sir, let's just leave, it's too cheap Austrians! Otherwise..."
Before Mackenzie Powell finished speaking, Charles immediately interrupted: "Your Excellency, this time is different from the past, and the world now is different from before.
The Holy Roman Empire has just become the overlord of the world. Any small actions we make at this time may cause unpredictable risks.
A bad operation will not only bring disasters to itself, but also endless troubles to the country. Now Britain cannot withstand the toss. "
Although the issue of insider trading is not spread out, everyone has received repeated strict orders from the London government.
Although the dominion of Canada has been established, it is far from the autonomy of later generations, and it is far from an independent country.
It seems that Prime Minister Mackenzie Powell is the supreme leader of the local area. In fact, Charles, a civil servant appointed by the London government, has no less right to speak in the government.
If he insists on rejecting the order of the London government, whether Mackenzie Powell can go out today is a question mark.
Anyway, they have decided to abandon the Canadian Dominion, and the British government no longer needs to consider the feelings of Canadians.
