Chapter 604 In the Name of Peace

As time entered August 1924, Britain and Australasia had completed their preparations for the war in Central America.

After careful consideration, the two countries decided to implement their own plans and put pressure on the United States regarding the war in Central America.

The war in Central America had lasted for more than a year, and the United States had no good way to deal with the resistance of Central American countries.

Coupled with the continuous support from Britain and Australasia, Central American countries still had a lot of advantages in such guerrilla warfare.

In particular, El Salvador, where the United States had few troops stationed, had basically driven away the US troops and was filled with a large number of Australasia intelligence personnel.

Nicaragua, which first launched a struggle against the US military base, faced the top priority counterattack of the US military.

However, both sides were very cautious in the war in Nicaragua, always keeping it at the scale of guerrilla warfare, and did not let the war escalate to the point of full-scale fighting.

This was actually the wisest thing for both sides. After all, the opposition in Nicaragua does not want to see a full-scale war with the United States, and the United States is unwilling to establish this war and fight head-on with Britain behind Nicaragua.

It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that the war in Central America is actually a large-scale guerrilla war, not a full-scale war in the true sense.

The demands of the opposition in several Central American countries are only to drive the US troops out of their own countries, and they are not arrogant enough to defeat the United States completely.

Since this war is to end, it is destined to negotiate with the United States to determine the situation in Central America after the war.

Neither Britain nor Australasia will naturally give up their advantages in the World Alliance.

As the first step to promote the development of the situation in Central America, it is natural to raise an issue in the World Alliance and ask the World Alliance to intervene in the Central American War by force.

In any case, bringing the World Alliance will make the actions of Australasia and Britain nominally on the side of justice.

If you can get the support of the World Alliance and use the entire World Alliance to coerce the United States to give in, it will naturally be the best choice.

After all, Britain and Australasia are not willing to start a full-scale war with the United States. The timing is not right, and it is impossible to tear each other apart for Central America.

At a regular meeting of the World Alliance, the British representative looked righteous, and said sincerely and firmly: "Ladies and gentlemen! The World Alliance is a union of all righteous countries in the world, and it should also protect all weak countries in the world."

"Central America and the Philippines are currently suffering from war. These two wars should have been avoided, and the people in these two regions should also usher in peace. According to our investigation, more than 100,000 people have died and 200,000 people have been injured in the conflicts in these two regions. Many people have become homeless and lost their jobs and sources of income.

As a member of the World Alliance, I sincerely hope that we can intervene in these two wars, bring peace to the people of these two regions, and fulfill the responsibility of the World Alliance as the official joint organization of the world."

After the British representative spoke, many countries that flattered Britain nodded in agreement, and the number reached more than half of the member states of the entire World Alliance.

Others also turned their eyes to the central conference table, because there were four permanent members of the World Alliance and one elected member.

"That's right." The representative of Australasia stood up at the right time, looked at everyone with an approving look, and said with a smile: "The original intention of the establishment of the World Alliance is to maintain world peace and order as much as possible, so that almost all small countries can join the big family of the World Alliance, and a peaceful and prosperous life together is the pursuit of the World Alliance.

If we turn a blind eye to the ongoing wars in the Philippines and Central America, it will not only violate the original intention of the establishment of the World Alliance, but also condemn our conscience.

Ladies and gentlemen! What we have to do is not just to wait and see, we have to bring peace to the world as much as possible and avoid the harm of cruel wars to mankind as much as possible. In the name of peace, I ask the World Alliance to vote to intervene in Central America and the Philippines to end the cruel wars facing these two regions."

Others were not surprised by the statement of the representative of Australasia, after all, the opinions of Britain and Australasia were relatively consistent in most of the World Alliance.

Then, everyone looked in the direction of the representatives of France and Russia, waiting for the speech of another huge force in the World Alliance.

The Russian representative appointed by Nicholas II sat quietly, without any intention of speaking or expressing his views.

This is actually normal. Russia has just gotten rid of the impact of the civil war and needs a long period of recovery and construction as well as material and financial support from various countries.

During this period, it is unwise for Russia to offend any powerful country, because this means that Russia's aid will be reduced.

Although France has provided a considerable amount of aid to Russia, Britain and Australasia have also provided a lot of aid to Russia.

Nicholas II implemented his decision to develop in a low-key manner, and the representatives he appointed would naturally not go against Nicholas II's opinion.

As for the other Russia, it basically will not appear in the meeting of the World Alliance. Because the Russian orthodoxy recognized by various countries is still on the side of Tsarist Russia, which also means that the diplomatic ambassadors of Tsarist Russia will be recognized by other countries.

After the Russians remained silent, the French seemed to be alone in facing Australasia and Britain.

But the French still wanted to destroy the British plan and proposed a compromise plan: "Ladies and gentlemen, why do you have to intervene militarily?

The situation in Central America and the Philippines is not irreparable. We can provide some material assistance to the countries involved in the war to ensure the living materials of the people in these countries during the war.

Regarding the choice of armed intervention, I think it is better to be conservative when it is not necessary.

If a full-scale war with the United States is launched for this, it will be a disaster for the World Alliance."

The French representative's speech still has some support. After all, not all countries are so extreme that they will start a war against any country under the instigation of the British.

In fact, except for some countries with different purposes, other countries will not be too obedient, let alone start a war casually.

Even Australasia has a certain purpose. After all, the United States is the common enemy of the two countries, and the main force of the war is definitely Britain.

Seeing the French raised objections, the British representative stood up calmly and retorted with disdain: "Material support? If material support can solve the war, what is the use of the army?

The purpose of the establishment of the World Alliance is to protect small and medium-sized countries, which also means that the World Alliance should not be afraid of those powerful countries.

If the strength of one country leads to the retreat of the entire World Alliance, then I would like to ask everyone, when facing the same choice, can the security of your country be guaranteed?"

This sentence is a sure kill for some hesitant small and medium-sized countries, because they are not only worried about the possibility of facing a war, but also the consequences of their countries facing such a bad choice.

If they choose to retreat now, if their countries are invaded in the future, can the World Alliance protect their countries?

This is a multiple-choice question. As for whether to choose Britain or France, it depends on the purpose of these small and medium-sized countries and the influence of the two countries on them.

At present, Britain's influence on most European countries is higher than that of France.

After all, the influence of the army is limited, and the influence of the navy is huge for coastal countries.

No matter how powerful the French army is, it is impossible to cross the whole of Europe to invade some small and medium-sized countries.

But the navy is different. The Royal Navy can reach any coast and port in the world, which can cause a fatal blow to those countries that rely heavily on shipping and ports.

After all, the Royal Navy can blockade the coast of Germany, not to mention the coasts and ports of these small countries.

If the British Empire is really offended, it will not be a good thing for these small countries near the sea.

What's more, France's ally Russia has obviously remained neutral at present and does not want to offend any party.

And Britain also has a powerful ally Australasia. When King Arthur of Australasia visited Europe before, most European countries had seen the escorting R108 battleship.

Although the specific data of the battleship is not clear, it can be seen from the size of the battleship and the corresponding main gun equipment that the actual combat capability of this battleship is definitely the world's top.

This also means that Australasia's naval construction has reached a relatively terrifying level, and it may not be weaker than the French navy.

At present, the comprehensive national strength of Australasia is no weaker than that of France. The alliance between Australasia and Britain is comparable to the previous Anglo-French alliance, which is something that any country needs to be wary of and consider.

Especially for those coastal countries, offending two powerful navies is much more uncomfortable than offending France, which has a stronger army.

What's more, France is obviously still in the recovery period and does not have much energy for diplomatic actions.

There is already a clear gap between Britain and France alone, not to mention that there is also Australasia looking ahead.

It is precisely because of this consideration that other small and medium-sized countries have more obvious differences in choosing which side to support.

Coupled with the silence of Italy, the only elected member, this meeting has obviously favored Britain and Australasia, and the remarks of the French representative have not been supported by many countries.

"Since we can't come to a conclusion, let's vote to decide!" At this time, the representative of Australasia stood up again and smiled and put forward his opinion.

Obviously, the voting decision is relatively fair. The final voting results are more likely to reflect the choices of many countries and better represent the final opinions of the World Alliance.

Fortunately, there are not too many member states of the World Alliance at this time, and most of them are concentrated in Europe.

Although the influence of the World Alliance cannot spread to more regions, it will not be affected by too many countries.

Because of the small number of participating countries, the voting did not last long, and it took less than ten minutes from the beginning to the announcement of the results.

With the announcement of the final results, the French representative also sank his face and had to accept this fact.

There were more than 20 countries participating in the vote. In addition to 6 abstentions, more than 12 countries chose to support the armed intervention proposed by Britain and Australasia.

This also means that only five countries support the material support proposed by France and do not agree to force military intervention.

The British representative and the Australasian representative looked at each other. The British representative stood up with a smile and said with great satisfaction: "The result of the vote represents the final decision of the World Alliance. I hope that the World Alliance can negotiate with the United States as soon as possible and ask the United States to end this war.

If the Americans refuse to agree, then we can only prepare a large-scale war to prompt the Americans to agree to the arrival of peace.

Ladies and gentlemen, this will be a great decision. I am very happy that the World Alliance can choose to bring peace to the Philippines and Central America. Such a practice will also be implemented in any event of the World Alliance. Protecting all small and medium-sized countries is what we have always pursued."

At this time, Britain's influence in European countries is still very high, which also made the British win an overwhelming victory in this vote.

The reason why they chose to raise this issue in the World Alliance instead of Britain and Australasia fighting the United States alone is actually somewhat reasonable.

If Britain and Australasia unilaterally put pressure on the United States, even if the World Alliance defines it as a just war, Americans will not be too afraid.

Even if a full-scale war with the United States can defeat the United States, Britain and Australasia will definitely suffer heavy losses.

If the Americans drag it out for a while, France and Russia are bound to recover during this period, and the situation in Europe and even the whole world will become difficult to control.

Although it may solve the United States, the biggest worry, Britain and Australasia will also be extremely weak, and then the French will become another big worry.

This is difficult for the more conservative British to accept, and it is also the real reason why the two countries finally chose to raise this issue in the World Alliance.

If the entire World Alliance is pushed to intervene in this war by force, the French are doomed to be unable to escape.

Moreover, facing the pressure of the entire World Alliance, Americans need to weigh their own thoughts if they want to resist.

After all, the United States’ reputation was not very good during the flu. If it openly confronts the World Alliance, then the United States will become a villain in the eyes of all European countries.

In this case, the difficulty of the United States’ desire to compete for hegemony in the world will directly increase several times.
