President Harding was not a law-abiding person. After making the decision to aid Hans and provoke a war, he immediately held a press conference and publicly announced the decision of the Eagle Sauce to the world!
As soon as this news came out, the international community immediately set off an uproar!
“Hans’ industrial strength is already very strong, and now it has the support of the Eagle Sauce. It seems that they have enough confidence to challenge the hegemony of the British Empire this time!”
“That’s right, these two countries are emerging countries that rose after the Second Industrial Revolution, while Britain and Gaul are both old countries from the First Industrial Revolution. It is normal for emerging countries to unite to challenge old countries!”
“If they join hands, can they really defeat the British Empire and Gaul? You know, the British Empire has been the overlord for hundreds of years!”
……
For a time, the people and the government officials of various countries were discussing the alliance between the Eagle Sauce and the Hans!
The two countries are very powerful, so if they form an alliance, whether they can overturn the existing social order established by the British Empire and the Gauls is a very concerning issue!
Anyway, except for the European countries, everyone is watching the excitement and can’t wait for Europe to be in chaos!
In fact, since 1926, the whole world has begun to be turbulent.
Because of the emergence of the economic crisis, all countries are facing tremendous pressure. In order to divert domestic conflicts and divert the attention of the people, some relatively strong countries have transferred domestic conflicts through foreign wars. In this case, it would be a miracle if the world can maintain peace!
Europe, League of Nations headquarters.
The League of Nations had just sanctioned the foot basin because of the invasion war against the Celestial Empire not long ago, but now Europe is in chaos again.
The original war was the Romanians attacking the Hungarian Empire. This was a very straightforward invasion war, so according to the rules and regulations of the League of Nations, they should sanction the Romanians!
However, before they could take action, the Czechs joined the war and began to help the Romanians invade Hungary!
The situation was a little more complicated at this time, but it was not yet unmanageable.
The League of Nations could still judge that Czechs and Romanians had violated the League of Nations’ peace agreement and launched an unjust war to invade other countries. They could sanction the two countries based on this crime!
However, the subsequent joining of Hans, the British and the Polish completely muddied the waters of this matter!
Because there were too many countries involved, and there were two permanent members among these countries, this matter became very tricky!
At this time, the Eagle Sauce people watched the excitement and did not mind the big things, and they also came to get involved, which gave the League of Nations a headache.
The Secretary-General of the League of Nations looked at the document that had just been drafted in his hand, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say!
Since the foot basin withdrew from the League of Nations, one of the five permanent members of the League of Nations has been vacant. The position of the permanent member is extremely valuable. Usually everyone fights for this position, but unexpectedly, the foot basin actually gave up this position on its own initiative.
After the Foot Basin gave up this position, the League of Nations was in an awkward situation!
They lost a founding member and a permanent member of the Council. Now there are only four permanent members left, and two of them are going to fight!
Maybe the two countries, the British Empire and Hans, will withdraw from the League of Nations again, and the League of Nations will be in an even more awkward situation!
For the League of Nations, the position of permanent member is equivalent to the major shareholder in a company. If this position remains vacant, it will be a huge blow to the prestige.
Therefore, after the Foot Basin withdrew from the League of Nations, they immediately began to make arrangements to select a country from the current member states in the world and give it the position of permanent member!
However, at this time, the number of mainstream powers in the world is very small. Except for the four countries that have become permanent members of the British Empire, Gaul, Hans, and Italy, the remaining countries are almost all crooked and can hardly be accepted by the mainstream!
Therefore, the Secretary-General of the League of Nations was unwilling to hand over the permanent member positions to these countries. For him, handing over such an important position to a group of second-rate or even third-rate countries without strength would be an insult to the League of Nations, which would overdraw the credit of the League of Nations.
Therefore, weak countries cannot be selected!
However, after excluding these options, they have no choice at all!
At this time, the Secretary-General of the League of Nations thought of a good idea!
At this time, there are two very powerful countries in the world that have not yet joined the League of Nations.
One is the founding country Eagle Sauce that single-handedly promoted the establishment of the League of Nations.
The other is the Eastern European overlord that once dominated Europe, the bear!
One of these two countries took the initiative to withdraw from the League of Nations and gave up the position of permanent member of the League of Nations.
The other is the bear that was isolated and denied by European countries because of the outbreak of revolution!
The strength of these two countries is definitely enough to serve as permanent members of the League of Nations, especially the Eagle Sauce. Their national strength is not inferior to that of the British Empire and Hans. If they had not been excluded by the British Empire and Gaul, they could have obtained the five permanent members’ seats belonging to Hans!
At this time, after the foot basin withdrew from the League of Nations, the League of Nations intended to win over the Eagle Sauce to return to the League of Nations!
However, after seeing the Eagle Sauce’s statement, the Secretary-General of the League of Nations hesitated!
The Eagle Sauce seems to stand with Hans. If this continues, is it really a good idea to win over the Eagle Sauce?
……
The Eagles don’t care about the League of Nations’ opinion at all.
Their withdrawal from the League of Nations showed that they didn’t care about the organization. At this time, the League of Nations had completely become a tool controlled by the British Empire and Gaul, so they had even less reason to return to the League of Nations! They only care about Hans and the British Empire’s attitude now. They are very curious about how Hans and the British Empire will react after learning about their statements!
Fog City, the capital of the British Empire.
President Harding’s statement was immediately transmitted to the British Empire, and the news made the top officials of the British Empire government feel a little uneasy.
“Could it be that the previous rumors were all true? Did the Eagle Sauce really form a military alliance with Hans?”
Because President Harding’s statement contained an implicit threat, the British Empire had to take this information seriously after learning about it!
If this is true, and Hans and the Eagle Sauce really have a secret alliance agreement, then once the British Empire declares war on Hans, the Eagle Sauce, as Hans’ ally, will most likely join the war! If this situation occurs, it will definitely not be good news for the British Empire!
One Hans is already very difficult for them, and if there is another Eagle Sauce, it will be hard to say whether they can deal with it if the two countries join hands!
“It’s not clear, but Mainz seems to have had a good relationship with the Eagle Sauce since 1919. When President Will died, he was the only foreign head of state to attend the funeral. So in the Eagle Sauce, Hans or Mainz has a very broad mass base. The people of North America have a high degree of recognition of him, and President Harding is said to have a good personal relationship with him, so the two countries may have signed an alliance agreement!”The
Prime Minister’s chief adviser actually said this in a relatively cautious manner. He did not give a direct affirmative answer, although the evidence they now have is increasingly pointing to an alliance between Hans and the Eagle Sauce!
After all, if the two countries did not form an alliance, how to explain that Hans, as a defeated country, easily borrowed a loan of 6 billion US dollars from North America?
How to explain that Hans’s prime minister and foreign minister went to North America several times to meet President Harding?
Moreover, during the negotiation stage of the Fog City Conference, the two countries also cooperated with each other, which led to Fitch’s investigation of the strength of each country!
This time the investigation Although the result was destroyed by MI6, the British believed that since they could see the results of the investigation in advance, the British and even the Hans could do it!
So, maybe they already knew that the British were stronger than the British!
A person who has great power but doesn’t know it may be a threat, but the threat will not be that big!
And a person who is powerful and knows that he has great power, the threat he brings is very terrible!
