Chapter 463: U.S. intervention

Although I usually do n’t like the ugly face of a Yankee upstart from the New World, Williams has to admit that after direct or indirect confrontation with the Americans several times,
As relatives of the blood of the British Empire, the United States of America has indeed inherited the best traditions of the British Empire in stirring up the international situation.
Moreover, because of the low background of the politicians and citizens of the United States and the short history of the founding of the United States, American politicians are more brutal and shameless than Britain, and they do not pay attention to basic gentleman etiquette.
As for the so-called bottom line, the westward movement from the United States, the massacre of Indians, the interest of ordinary militias in the collection of Indian skulls, and the US monopoly capital consortium, for the benefit, ingeniously prepared a grand "fireworks festival" for competitors. "It can be seen from other examples that the so-called bottom line of Americans is that there is no bottom line. For money and profit, they can do anything that violates the law.
Can also take whatever means they deem appropriate to send civilians and competitors who hinder their expansion to see God.
Faced with such a competitor who does not pay attention to international rules, Williams often feels frustrated and powerless.
Americans have always used clever ways to test the bottom line of the British, from attacking Canada shortly after independence, invading Mexico, supporting the Cuban indigenous rebels, and then being too bright to oppose British colonial activities in Central America. For more than 100 years, Americans used this step-by-step approach to expansion, gradually expanding the US sphere of influence from 13 North American states to North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The predicament that the Americas barely supported, the Americans boldly extended their tentacles of expansion to the Republic of Brazil.
Perhaps the experience of successful success over the past 100 years has given Americans the illusion that they do not believe that the British will turn against the United States for the benefit of South America. In fact,
The bottom line of the British is very clear and firm, that is, the interests and dignity of the British Empire cannot be destroyed or humiliated by any country.
For the sake of the overall situation, the United Kingdom can make many concessions to the United States. However, if there is no clear position, if the United States dares to cross the United Kingdom and substitute the power of the South American leader to launch a military attack on a South American country,
In order to swear the dignity of the world overlord, Britain will immediately dispatch its powerful navy to impose the necessary punishment on the United States.
The United States intends to obtain military power in the Republic of Brazil, even using the Paraguayan War as an excuse to use force against the South American Han Dynasty,
Can be regarded as reaching the bottom line of the United Kingdom.
Within the British government, although the voice of giving up dominance in South America is getting louder, even if the dominance is given, it will definitely not be the present, nor will it be a loser under the American military force. Way, the disgraced exit of South America.
Williams also has this era. The British government generally has the pride. Therefore, even if he is very unwilling to deal with Americans, he still decides to do it for more than half an hour for the benefit of the United Kingdom and his personal future. Make some countermeasures.
"Martinez, immediately drafted two messages, one for London and one for the Imperial Embassy of the Republic of Korea,
The message sent to London should highlight the inference that Americans intend to use force to interfere in the situation in South America, and request the London government to issue clear instructions, stand firm, and resolutely stop the United States from looking for any excuse to interfere in South American affairs by force.
The telegram sent to Her Excellency Hermes emphasized one point, requesting the Imperial Embassy of the Republic of Korea to reaffirm the empire ’s obligation to protect the Republic of Brazil, and requesting the Han army to limit the area of ​​operations to the territory of Paraguay, and not actively attacking in the Republic of Brazil In the case of the territory of the Han State, the battlefield cannot be extended to the territory of the Brazilian Republic. "
"Two telegrams, one to London. One to the Imperial Chinese Embassy in Han ..."
Ran down to write down Williams' command, and then asked, "Your Excellency, are there any other commands?"
"In addition to the Republic of Brazil and the Republic of Han, the three countries of Peru, Bolivia, and Chile are also likely to create trouble by the opportunity of the Paraguayan War."
Williams thought for a moment, raised his head, and added: "The telegram sent to London adds another content, requesting the government to pass the embassy of the Empire in Bolivia, Peru, and Chile, warning the three governments not to intervene in the Paraguayan war without permission. Scale up. "
"Okay, sir." ............
"Your Majesty, Americans sent us a protest."
Changan Palace, Li Mingyuan was handling government affairs in the former dynasty, and suddenly heard a news report from the guard.
"Americans? When the wave of Chinese exclusion broke out in 1883, didn't the local government cut off all diplomatic ties with the United States?"
Li Mingyuan stopped working and asked.
"The U.S. Minister to the Republic of Brazil protested to the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs through several European businessmen. The protest letter was just transmitted from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the palace."
"Take it, let me see it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Guards guard stepped forward and handed an envelope containing seven or eight sheets of letter paper to Li Mingyuan.
Took the envelope, unfolded the protest book inside, and read it carefully. Li Mingyuan's complexion gradually became dignified.
In the protest book, except for the protest at the beginning of the Xuanke, the contents on the following seven letterheads are all naked threats of force!
"Destroy the peace of the Americas? Infringe upon the sovereignty of other countries? Americans have such a face to say!"
After reading the contents of the protest book, Li Mingyuan said angrily: "When the Americans slaughtered the Indians, why didn't UU read www.uukanshu.com to respect the sovereignty of the Indians? When the Americans supported the Cuban uprising, how could they not respect Spain Sovereignty?
Threat by force? Really, when my country is a soft persimmon that anyone can bully! "
"Your Majesty is angry! His employees thought that the Americans were nothing but intimidation and should not directly send troops to interfere in the Paraguayan War."
"It is not possible to send troops directly, but under the pretext of the Paraguayan War, it will attract other South American countries to fight against the mainland, and even establish a military base in the Republic of Brazil to directly contain the expansion of the local forces in the northern region, but there is a high probability.
Li Mingyuan thought of the lesson in the history of the Venezuelan crisis in 1897 when the British government compromised and gave up the dominance of South America to the United States. Some worried: "The British are not reliable, if South America deteriorates to the most serious level, The British are likely to leave South America alone, leaving only the local government alone to deal with the expansion of the Americans. If it is really the time, the homeland will face the biggest challenge since the founding of the country. This is where I am most concerned. . "
The emergence of the Han Dynasty has made South America's history unrecognizable. Li Mingyuan sometimes worried that the changes caused by the butterfly effect will lead to the early withdrawal of the United Kingdom from South America and the serious consequences of the United States at any cost to contain South America.
"Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, forward the protest letter submitted by the Americans to the British embassy in the homeland, to prove the British's clear attitude towards the American barbaric threat to the local government.
Also, immediately call the main officials of various departments of the central government and the generals of the army and navy to rush to the Daming Temple to discuss! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" ............
