: 0.054s Scan: 0.021sSoon after the secret talks in the White House ended, Chukir, as a representative of the British Navy, held a press conference in North America, officially announcing that he would be responsible for the sinking of the Aldernia, apologized, and promised to compensate the families of the victims and the cruise company for their losses.
This statement was quite unexpected. The North American people were originally full of resentment, and there were demonstrations against the British Navy everywhere in the country. As public opinion continued to spread, the anger of the British Navy against the British Navy had reached its peak. At this time, many members of Congress began to propose in Congress that the British Navy government should declare war on the British Navy and avenge the victims.
Behind this, Vanelke naturally had to add fuel to the flames. As Hans’ representative in North America, Vanelke was eager for the British Navy to fight with the British Navy, and it would be best if they could both suffer losses!
However, despite the huge pressure, Chukir took the initiative to take responsibility for the British Empire, and expressed his willingness to take responsibility for this matter on behalf of the British Empire, which slightly improved the impression of the North American people on the British Empire.
“The British Empire actually took the initiative to apologize and compensate. The sun really rose from the west!”
In a pub, several rednecks of the British Empire were drinking beer and chatting.
What they talked about was the shipwreck and the apology statement just issued by the British Empire. The
British Empire was a little surprised from top to bottom about the British Empire’s statement, because in their impression, the British Empire relied on its status as the world hegemon and would not take any country seriously.
Just by showing off their powerful navy, no one dared to cause trouble for them, let alone ask them to apologize!
Therefore, in the impression of the British Empire, it seems that they have never seen the British Empire apologize on their own initiative, so they feel very curious!
“Yes, isn’t it said that they are a country that started out as bandits? I didn’t expect them to be so reasonable and responsible, this is really strange!”
Another redneck echoed, and the other people in the tavern gathered around after hearing the two people’s discussion. Many of them nodded, obviously feeling as strange as they did!
“What’s so strange about this?”
A drunkard sitting in front of the bar heard the words of the person next to him, snorted coldly, and said in a very disdainful tone.
His words immediately attracted everyone’s attention, and he seemed to enjoy the feeling of being watched.
“Humph, the British Empire is no longer what it used to be. They were indeed very strong in the past, so no one took them seriously. But now, they are just a declining power with no residual power left!”
After hearing his words, everyone thought about it and obviously thought that what he said made some sense.
After all, the war situation in Europe was very clear at this time. Their ally, the newly born Third Reich, was unstoppable in Europe. It not only swept Gaul and beat Gaul to its knees, but also annihilated more than 300,000 British Empire troops, causing almost all of the British Empire’s allies in Europe to be defeated.
That’s not all. The German army severely damaged the British Empire’s navy at sea earlier this month, which also surprised the whole world!
If it is reasonable for the German army to annihilate the British Empire’s 300,000 ground forces on land, and it is something that everyone can accept, then the one-sided result of the North Sea naval battle is completely beyond everyone’s expectations, so much so that many people still dare not believe it is true!
So, when this person just said that the British Empire is no longer what it used to be, everyone can accept it.
“The sun never sets, but we are like the rising sun, with a bright future. Ten years ago, if we had not joined the Allied Powers and participated in the First World War in Europe, the British Empire might have been defeated long ago. It shows that they are no longer the invincible British Empire as we imagined!”
“During the past ten years, the population of the British Empire has not grown much, and its industrial strength has not increased either, while the growth of us and Hans has been very obvious, which has caused the gap between them and us in the industry to become increasingly larger. Although they are still eyeing the title of world hegemon, in fact, they do not have the strength to be a world hegemon at all. This time the European war has only told the world this truth clearly!”
This man’s words made everyone in the tavern suddenly enlightened!
After their minds were opened, they all began to understand:”That is to say, the British Empire is publicly apologizing and compensating at this time in order to win our favor and gain our support?”
“Yes, that must be the case. It turns out that this group of people from the Sun Never Sets were planning to use us!”
“They are now losing ground in Europe and they must want us to help them fight the war like we did in World War I!”
“Humph, they wishful thinking. During World War I, we foolishly sent troops to fight, only to be kicked away by them when we came to divide the spoils after the war. Now they have the nerve to come to us for help. I have never seen such shameless people!”
“What credibility can you expect from a group of descendants of pirates and robbers!
“In short, we must not let the British Empire’s plan succeed. We must not let them make fools of us. We have been fooled once, and we must not be fooled again this time!”
“Let’s go to the White House to petition and stop the president from cooperating with the British Empire!”
“Let’s go, let’s let the government and the president know the voice of the people, so that they won’t be fooled by the sweet words of the British Empire!”
The emotions of the people in the tavern were aroused. One person shouted and others responded. They took to the streets and quickly attracted the attention of others. They also took the opportunity to publicize their views to the onlookers, so that more and more people joined their team, making their demonstration team bigger and bigger. By the time they arrived outside the White House, no less than 50,000 people had been mobilized, and the streets outside the White House were blocked.
Fifty thousand people shouted in unison, and the sound waves shook the entire White House. The security director in charge of the White House’s security was so scared that he urgently called the Pentagon and requested to send the National Guard. To protect the safety of the president!
Soon, a large number of National Guards rushed to the scene and began to use tear gas and high-pressure water cannons to disperse the crowd.
Although the Eagle Sauce allows people to take to the streets to march, it is too dangerous for tens of thousands of people to surround the White House.
If you are not careful, it will endanger the president in the White House, so the government will not allow such a thing to happen!
The police’s tear gas and high-pressure water cannons did not make these angry people surrender, but instead aroused their resistance.
As a result, the demonstrators and the National Guard who came to suppress them had a fierce conflict, which made the situation completely chaotic!
