Chapter 318 "But what about this Lu Wendong?"
Even when necessary,
Nicaragua can still ask for foreign aid to eliminate the rebels. Without external support,
How can we succeed in arming ourselves solely from within? In other words,
In the future, these people can only compete with Lu Wendong by forming a party. However,
Lu Wendong holds the Nicaragua Canal in his hand, and the necks of the people of the country.
How could these Nicaraguan citizens possibly destroy their own jobs? They must support Lu Wendong!
Simultaneously,
I believe that after the soldiers under Lu Wendong are converted into police officers on the spot, they will be able to control most of the situation.
Simply put,
Lu Wendong prevented the emergence of a revolution in Nicaragua through demilitarization measures.
Everyone here needs to act within the rules set by them. Qiao Zhenhua was secretly shocked.
Who would have thought that Lu Wendong actually had such a skill? "Mr. Lu, this is a serious matter."
Qiao Zhenhua knew that it was meaningless to talk about anything else now, as the other party had already shown their utmost sincerity.
If you can't even fulfill this condition yourself, then there's no point in discussing anything else.
He immediately said, "I need to report it immediately." "Thank you, Senator."
Lu Wendong's idea was immediately reported to the White House via Qiao Zhenhua. "Demilitarization?"
A group of people in the White House looked at each other in confusion.
This is learning from Costa Rica! Central America is a bit strange. Under the constant interference of the empire,
This place is full of riots, killings, poverty... As a result,
In 48, Costa Rica simply gave up and became the first country in the world to demilitarize.
Then declare permanent neutrality!
What happened?
After Costa Rica lost its army,
The rebellion in the country miraculously disappeared...
Everyone suddenly discovered that,
The role of the military is not that important...
It is only a lightweight security force and police that are needed to maintain a country. And because they declared neutrality,
The empire could not directly send a large army into Costa Rica.
Otherwise, it would give the international community a voice and greatly damage the interests of the alliance. And supporting agents?
If they don't have any troops, how can the agents start a rebellion? Organize a police rebellion?
Therefore,
Costa Rica has become a rare peaceful country in Central America after 48 years.
So Nicaragua is also planning to demilitarize?
"Lu Wendong is trying to economically colonize Nicaragua."
Someone suddenly said, "He formed the National Defense Force, and now that it's being transformed into the police force, he's effectively controlling the police." "He pays them, and he owns the police."
"Isn't this the Governor?"
The president coughed: "Gentlemen, what we need to consider now is whether it is allowed or not?"
A neutral country cannot just shout on its own; it needs to get the approval of the old gangsters.
If the Empire does not approve,
Then this neutrality is meaningless. "Okay."
The Secretary of State said, "Demilitarization must establish democracy. At the very least, Nicaragua will not become communist."
Everyone nodded,
Of course,
There are many ways to implement this democracy, such as democratic centralism!
However,
There is one thing that can be confirmed.
Demilitarization was not in the interests of Tsarist Russia.
The US can use Nicaragua's system to criticize Cuba. "As for the economic..."
The Secretary of State added: "As long as Nicaragua needs our market, we will always find benefits in it."
Everyone had a smile on their face,
Who doesn't want the market of the empire?
The president nodded slowly: "Not bad."
"But what about Lu Wendong?"
The president raised an eyebrow. "This man has the ability to build a military organization and has a lot of money behind him."
The CIA director immediately reported, "We have evidence proving that Lu Wendong is the leader of the triads." "He has unified all the triads in Hong Kong and is highly regarded by gangs worldwide."
"There's a lot of dirty money behind this, which is why they're able to build in the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. They're very likely involved in money laundering." The president asked, "Are any of the Empire's citizens involved?"
"There is no conclusive intelligence yet." The president looked at the director dissatisfiedly.
Without any information, what can you say?
Can we slander something without any evidence?
The Secretary of State said, "Lu Wendong has already encroached upon some of England's interests by doing this. We can ask England to investigate this later." "As for now."
"What we need to discuss is the issue of the Nicaragua Canal."
Everyone's expression suddenly became serious. Yes,
The Nicaragua Canal is the problem! On the surface,
It seems to be just a canal, but in fact,
The emergence of the Nicaragua Canal will most likely change the world.
Assume that
Currently, Panama can handle ten ships a day. If Nicaragua is included,
The number of ships that can pass through this channel every day will exceed 20. The more ships that pass through,
The more flexible the economy and trade are, the more it will be reflected in the market.
That means the manufacturer can get paid faster, and the seller can get the goods to sell earlier.
Just such a small change, magnified to the whole world,
It's like a butterfly flapping its wings on the Pacific coast, which is very likely to create a super hurricane on the other side! The staff said, "That might be a good thing." The president was puzzled.
The staff said: "If there is a river competition, Panama will rely more on us." The president suddenly understood.
The staff member added, "At the same time, if the Nicaraguan Canal opens, we can apply to station troops there to protect the Caribbean." "I'm sure the Nicaraguan side will definitely not refuse."
The staff officer said meaningfully, "They don't have an army anyway, and our army doesn't require them to pay for it." "That's right."
The Secretary of State agreed: "Nicaragua is a vital gateway connecting South America and Latin America." "Now that it's willing to demilitarize, it actually benefits us."
"GOOD!"
The president's job is nothing more than to take advice. Since several think tanks have said so,
That would naturally be a good choice that would be in the interests of the empire.
"Gentlemen, we also have to consider Lu Wendong," the president said. "He's clearly very adept at proxy warfare."
Saying,
He immediately looked at the CIA director.
The current proxy wars of the empire abroad are all led by the CIA.
How can I put it? It's hard to put into words!
Take Nicaragua, for example.
The Empire just got $1800 million in funding for Contra through arms trade.
In the end, before the money even came into play, Lu Wendong took over Managua in one day!
Now its army is chasing Contra and the Sonja, forcing them to flee east and west! But the Empire has clearly supported Contra in Nicaragua for more than a decade.
A full ten years!
Don't mention how angry!
The director said with difficulty: "We are already tracing the source of Lu Wendong's firepower and manpower." There are many rich people in this world.
No matter how rich Lu Wendong is,
It is impossible to be richer than the Rockefeller family.
There is a saying that goes, "The Elephant Party belongs to Rockefeller, and the Donkey Party belongs to Smorgan!"
Lu Wendong is obviously no match for these two consortiums! The problem is,
Lu Wendong has a way to create military forces, and their combat effectiveness is very strong!
Because it is private,
The mobility and flexibility are far superior to the Empire. Take the battle in Nicaragua for example.
It wasn't Lu Wendong's turn to intervene.
But who made those gentlemen in Congress think Nicaragua was unappetizing?
The president said sternly: "I believe there is still no result so far?" This is a strong statement!
The others immediately looked at the CIA director with pity.
This position is appointed by the president. Since the president can promote it,
Of course, you can also press it down.
The director trembled slightly: "Sir, I'm sure we can find it."
The president said, "We have reason to suspect that Lu Wendong is likely to continue his proxy war strategy in other Central American countries."
The group was feeling rather awkward. There was no need to think about it; it was a foregone conclusion.
It's unbelievable that my best proxy war strategy has been defeated by a Chinese person!
For a while,
No one has any idea.
This is because the proxy war cannot be discussed separately.
Lu Wendong supports local people in getting promoted to higher positions, and local people are also in power in the government. He is also practicing democracy.
There is no way to blame.
………………
Because of democracy,
This means that the Empire can also participate in supporting pro-Imperial forces to rise to power, so the Empire naturally cannot take a hardline stance!
if not,
People will turn to the side of Tsarist Russia.
Central America will become completely communist, which will be very troublesome!
"Should we be wary of a Central American federation?" Yes,
The countries in Central America were originally called the United Provinces of Central America, a federal republic in the history of Central America.
Existed from 1823 to 1841,
Composed of the former territories of the Guatemalan Governorate of New Spain.
Its territory included present-day Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and part of the eastern Mexican state of Chiapas.
"will not."
The Secretary of State immediately said: “Central America is a region with a complex social structure.
In Guatemala and El Salvador, where the land is fertile and the labor force is abundant, the class is mainly composed of large landowners.
The relatively poor Honduras and Nicaragua developed commercial and trade economies. Costa Rica attracted Spanish immigrants who lacked capital.
A more democratic political structure based on European yeomanry was established. After the partition, the region was divided into conservative and liberal groups.
The former advocated the establishment of a strong centralized government and the maintenance of privileges for the church and the military.
and maintain the old system of land tenure;
The latter advocates a federal system that decentralizes power to the provinces.
Abolition of clergy privileges and implementation of land reform.
In terms of natural conditions,
Local ideas are deeply rooted in various regions of Central America.
This caused local towns and villages to be jealous of the national capital.
And it led to internal strife.”
"These parts of Central America have become divided into different regions and different ideals, and have not been able to successfully coalesce around a clear national identity."
