Vol 5 Chapter 36: British plan

In order to cope with the current situation, on May 15, 1921, a new round of alliance meetings between Britain and France was held. British Foreign Minister Gray, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Metev, and French Foreign Minister ed-mond1efebvreduprey9june ), The three met again in Paris.
Obviously, the British foreign policy changed again. The Japanese took the initiative to pull out hatred. After the U.S. ended, Japan, the world's second naval power, naturally became the number one enemy of the British, so the three-nation agreement still has The need to exist!
The main purpose this time has nothing to do with the Japanese. Although they were pitted, everyone is still an ally on the bright side, and it is impossible to turn their faces now.
The top priority is to divide up the benefits left over from the United States! The annexation of the eastern U.S. states was in trouble, and the British empire, skilled in diplomacy, also had new ideas.
As the host, the French Foreign Minister took the lead to say, "The situation in the United States is very bad. Due to the blind actions of the Japanese, all states are now alert to us. Our previous plan may not work!"
The original plan: the United States divided up the United States and the United States, and each sent troops into its own sphere of influence to control the site.
This is just a general intent. The actual division has been broken before it can be started. In the face of the US states that are already prepared, everyone can't swallow a few!
Megeve said coldly: "If you can't control it directly, then split them up! Let all the federal states be independent, and if they are unwilling to be independent, then let them take responsibility for this 'U.S. flu' All right!"
British Foreign Secretary Gray objected: "If this happens, the United States will be divided too small, and it is not easy for us to benefit from it, and it may also cause turmoil in the future in the Americas!"
Metev said very politely: "So what is your country's plan to do with the United States? Let them continue to maintain unity, so I am afraid that in a decade or so, they will recover again. At that time, it will be difficult for us to organize an alliance !!
We have already seen the strength of the Americans. If this time they did not use their internal contradictions, I am afraid that this war will not end without three or five years!
This behemoth will let them continue to show. In the future, American politicians will definitely promote national reunification. Even if they do n’t do it, the consortiums will let the American states merge into one. I do n’t think that the British Empire will still be able to suppress them at that time! "
Gray's face changed. Without this war, the British Empire would not be able to suppress Americans now, the world's first economy, and their population of up to 100 million. If Americans were willing to dominate the Big Six.
After the reunification of the Big 6 of the Americas, even if the whole world joins hands, they will not be able to deal with them. In turn, countries will have to be subject to the United States!
Everyone dare not take this risk. Once the United States rises again, the British Empire will be at the forefront of this, and the interests will belong to the interests, but the immediate interests will not affect the future life or death!
The French Foreign Minister also echoed: "A unified United States must not reappear, and the French Republic must not tolerate the existence of an enemy threatening Europe 6!"
He has no idea what the British have in mind, but a pro-British American regime must not be retained. This is the bottom line for the French.
Ferdinand's bottom line is also very clear. A unified United States cannot exist. If the British want to maintain American unity, then everyone's alliance will be over!
Gray's face suddenly became gloomy, whether to keep a unified United States, their domestic disputes still exist, but the firm attitude of France and France also hurt him!
The rise of the independence movement in the U.S. states now has a Bulgarian shadow behind it. If the British Empire does not intervene, American division will be inevitable.
At least the southern and western states of the United States will be independent of the federal government!
After a pause, Gray said, "The United States can be divided, but all the states are independent. There are too many countries that can be separated. What if we divide them into three?"
Megeve did not buy it: "Now that Alice California and Texas are independent, the United States has actually divided into three, but their national strength has not been weakened much!
We recommend that the United States be divided into at least fifteen countries. Except for Alaska, we believe that the territory of any country cannot exceed 600,000 square kilometers, lest they become larger! "
The French Foreign Minister was in front of his eyes. In his opinion, this is undoubtedly a good idea. There are only a lot of split countries, and British talents cannot be in full control. Everyone can rely on their own means.
"Mr. Gray, I think Mr. Metev's proposal is very constructive. A strong United States is not in everyone's interest, especially they are still a country that dominates Big Six!"
Gray fell into silence, and in principle he had no objection to splitting the United States. In terms of strength, being able to master the East Coast states is already the limit of the British Empire. They have reached an agreement with the power factions in the eastern United States. They will join the British Commonwealth again and retain the status of an autonomous region.
These are secrets. To complete this plan, they must get the support of various countries, at least by default, otherwise it is not easy to implement this plan!
Gray thought for a while and said, "We have no objection to dismembering the United States, but is the area limitation of 600,000 square kilometers too serious? We recommend relaxing it to 1.5 million square kilometers, which will make it easier to operate!"
Megeve thought for a while and said, "It is true that these will be easier, but the problems are also very serious. If the eastern states plus the Great Lakes region are independent as one country, their industrial strength has passed our three countries. Existence is still a threat, I think everyone is a little bit troublesome!
Even if it is your country, you can include them in the British Commonwealth. You do n’t want the younger brother ’s economic strength.
Adding a strong member is better than adding two or three weaker members, so that your country is also easy to control! "
Gray's face remained the same, but his heart was beginning to stir up, and the plan was exposed in advance.
However, the worst situation has not yet occurred. Since Metiev brought it out so carelessly, it also means that Bulgaria is not very exclusive to this matter. What they need is undoubtedly an exchange of benefits!
The French Foreign Minister also turned his attention to Gray, and seemed to ask him to give a satisfactory answer, otherwise he would not know what would happen next.
Gray smiled slightly and said, "Don't look at me like this. If you are interested, you can share a cup. If the United States is willing to join the two countries, we will not object!"
Metiev rolled his eyes. If Bulgaria had that influence, he would have already done it, would he still need to sit here?
The French Foreign Minister is in the middle of calculations, and seems to be thinking about whether he can learn from the British. In the end, they are helpless. They are the Republic, a system suitable for the British, and not for them!
Seeing this, Gray added: "The British Empire hopes to get the support of your two countries. In return, we will support the Cuban colony that the French Republic annexed the United States, and Bulgaria will gain the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands!"
Metev haha ​​said with a smile: "Mr. Gray, are you really treating your friends? The Philippine and Hawaiian Islands are now regarded by the Japanese as a bag, and Bulgaria has no strength to compete with them in the Pacific. ! "
Gray said calmly: "As long as the full support of the British Empire, these are not the problems, the Japanese have not the courage to confront our two countries!"
Mettev thought for a moment and said, "Don't, Bulgaria has no interest in the Pacific. We don't have such a good appetite. We still want to compensate other regions!"
Although the Philippine and Hawaiian Islands are rich, they are not worthy of Bulgaria's national power to compete with the Japanese. As for the so-called British support, let's forget it, let Bulgaria be thunderous!
Seeing Metiev's rejection, Gray was not surprised. This is inevitable. The interests of the two major islands alone are not enough to kill Bulgarians and Japanese.
After a pause, Gray asked, "Where do you want to be?"
Megeve jokingly said: "If I said that I wanted Egypt or South Africa, you would definitely not give it, and the other autonomous regions are also the treasures of the British Empire!
So how about all of your other African colonies except these two? "
(Note: In addition to Egypt and South Africa, the British very colonies include Tonga, Seychelles, Cameroon, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mauritius, Malawi, Gambia, Sudan, Botswana, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Zambia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya)
Gray said with a wry smile, "Mr. Mev, your appetite is too big, this is really driving us out!"
Metev laughed and said, "Mr. Gray is kidding. Africa is truly the pearl of South Africa, and the most important Egypt is in your hands. These places we want are large in size, but they are actually of limited value!
If you feel too much, then Tonga, Seychelles, Cameroon, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mauritius, Malawi, Gambia, we don't need it! "
Gray is quite unaccustomed to the Bulgarian bargaining method. He has just begun negotiations, and Metev's asking price has shrunk by a third.
Don't look at them shrinking fast, think that their bottom line is very low, basically at this time, they are close to their bottom line, it is difficult to continue to bargain!
Gray said with a smile: "Mr. Mev, I don't think so. The Sudanese British Empire cannot give up. As compensation, how about our three countries occupying the Philippine and Hawaiian Islands together?"
In order to pull people into the ship, Gray also took great pains. Once the United States was divided, their energy would be concentrated in the Americas. There was no extra energy to suppress the Japanese.
However, just after they stabbed them across Japan, they had to retaliate. They simply dragged the two countries to the Pacific under the name of compensation. The three countries directly blocked the Japanese exhibition!
As for whether the Japanese government will compromise, just look at the size of the Royal Fleet in the Pacific region. You ca n’t make it to the Japanese!
After reckoning, Metiev has no current problems. Once the three countries are united, no country in the world can compete with them.
Offending does not offend the Japanese, this is not considered, anyway, because of the Japanese-Russian war long offended, now do not care about coming again!
Metev smiled and said, "Well, Gray's diplomacy is really good. We Bulgaria give up the Sudan!"
In terms of area, the Sudan area is not small at this time. It has more than 2.3 million square kilometers, which is larger than all other areas proposed by Bulgaria!
In terms of economic value, it is far inferior to the Philippines or the Hawaiian Islands. This choice is easy to make. The British people want to retain the Sudan area, and the main purpose is the Suez Canal.
Unlike the Arabian Peninsula, Sudan has ports suitable for warship navigation, so it is normal for the British not to give up.
Bulgaria agreed to the deal, and Gray turned his attention to French Foreign Minister ed-mond1efebvreduprey9june, waiting for his reply.
ed-mond1efebvreduprey9june thought about it: "In principle, we agree to this transaction, but the French Republic still has the right to take action in the United States. If we are to bring a state into our sphere of influence, your country must not block it!"
Gray smiled slightly. The biggest benefit was swallowed by the British Empire. Of course, he could not stop the French. Dan Ding replied: "I have already said this question. If you have the patience, you can take action, but it cannot affect the interests of the British Empire!"
Megeve asked half-jokingly: "Including us?"
Gray replied confidently: "Of course!"
It wasn't that he looked down on Bulgaria. It was because Bulgaria's sense of presence in the Americas was too low. Who would buy them?
This problem is naturally clear to Megeve. If you could fudge Ferdinand to fudge long ago ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Wait for now?
However, he is not optimistic about the British plan. Even if the divided country is willing to join the Commonwealth, it is not easy to command!
As a qualified American, in addition to believing in God, he hates the British. Bulgaria has already made judgments on this issue and does not think they can succeed.
Even if the British Empire is now powerful, these Americans are compelled to compromise, and it will be a matter of time before and after the bite. Once there is a problem in the British Empire, the Commonwealth will end!
Well, this pit British must jump. Only by merging North America will their world dominance be consolidated. Otherwise, sooner or later, who will make their homeland too small?
