Chapter 181 Granada
During the Italian Constitutional Convention, Panama had a recurrence. The Americans were unwilling to fail invasion and encouraged the Granada Federation, which had Panama sovereignty, to nationalize the soon-to-be-finished Panama Canal on the grounds of illegal procedures. The Granada Federation was the largest part of the split from the original Great Colombian Republic, as well as Venezuela and Ecuador.
The Granadas saw the huge interests of the Panama Canal, and the Americans shattered their chests like snakes that seduced Ava to eat to ensure their national defense. They signed a common defense treaty with the Granada Federation, which made the Granadas take risks and join NATO.
The Earth's Lung Amazon Rainforest belongs to many countries, the largest is Brazil, followed by Peru, the country of guano, and then Granada. For the overall interests of mankind, the ambitious people who are determined to take down the Amazon Rainforest to protect it are worried that they will not be able to find a place to talk to the South American countries. The action of the Granada Federation is like giving pillows to sleeping people. This time, Downing would not instruct Panama like the Americans in later generations, and decided to take Granada into a colony, and use this as a base to map the entire Amazon Rainforest.
During the hasty period, Tangning decided to use the Desert Win to arm the Mongolian cavalry of Senggelinchin, using it to deal with the Russian Cossack cavalry and harass the Russians who invaded the Heilongjiang River Basin, and the new Japanese army that had been trained was used to expedition to South America.
It feels so good to switch to the Desert Eagle. With a little training, they all become super cavalry with hundreds of steps through the air. It is quite pleasant to fight encounters on the plains.
Since we were preparing to start a war, I'm sorry, it turned out that most of the two million taels of "mediation payment" of the Sino-Russia Treaty was not given. Learn from the Americans that the Qing Dynasty, Japan, and India also signed a joint defense agreement. In order to make the Russians care about their heads and not their butts, the three forces posed a military threat to Russia from multiple places.
The Japanese federal army marched towards Sakhalin Island. The three countries of Japan and Russia have been competing for a long time, and were eventually occupied by the Russians in 1856. The Royal Geographical Society of the United Kingdom believed that this island might belong to the paleogeological coast, which means that the Japanese, who had oil, natural gas and resources were in short supply, were suddenly red. This three-party joint operation led by the East India Company was like a sleepy pillow for Japan.
Senggelinqin's Mongolian cavalry competed for the estuary of the Heilongjiang River, which had been occupied by the Russians.
The Hunan Army was busy suppressing the Nian bandits in Huaibei. The surrendered Taiping Army was huge, and the three eastern provinces were in use in a short while. "Emperor Xianfeng" made an amazing decision to re-activate Li Xiu, who was recovering from Shanghai, to become the commander of the Expeditionary Army, and led his old subordinate Dai Su to make Dai Gong and station troops to Ulaanbaatar, to use the important town of Sino-Russia trade in China to see the land of "Chaktu", which is quite close to the world's largest lake, Lake Baikal, where there is a large Russian Far East city, Irkutzk.
Shi Dakai, who was desperate, knew this "good news" and surrendered to the Qing army. The Qing Dynasty did not disappoint him. You should also make meritorious service. After prohibiting all cult activities of worshiping God, Shi Dakai also became the Qing Dynasty expeditionary force as a sinister, and went to Dayuzi to resist the Russian invasion.
The Kazakhs split into three parts: Dayuzi, Zhongyuzi and Xiaoyuzi. Among them, Xiaoyuzi and Zhongyuzi were gradually annexed by Russia, which expanded eastward, while Dayuzi was annexed by the Qing Dynasty, and was seriously threatened by Russia at this time.
The huge amount of funds needed for the war came from the low-interest loans from the Bank of Zurich. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty used the Old Summer Palace as collateral to fight against Russia, winning the love of the passionate Qing subjects.
Of course, India is not idle either. It goes north to Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and westward to Persia. This Persia is roughly similar to Iran and is a big stage for the East India Company to play with the Russians. This is still the focus of the focus without knowing the huge oil interests of the Persian Gulf.
Tangning's overall military thinking towards Russia is the "bacterial strategy". Except for the East India Company's army, the Qing and Japanese armies did not go through actual combat tests and threw them over to fight against the Russian army. It was like letting bacteria slowly adapt to antibiotics, and they would wear them when they saw loopholes. They mainly trained modern armies. The wireless telegraphs and weapons for communication were provided by the East India Company, which was rich in financial resources. These armies would become stronger and stronger, and then turn to the second stage, which was a bit like Lincoln's python strategy against the Southern Army, slowly strangling the Great Russian Empire.
By then, Russia will...see, maybe it will be let go of democratic reforms.
It was at this time that France and Spain also found an excuse to invade Latin America by force. Their target was Mexico. At this time, Mexico was a republic, and their President Juarez announced that he would stop paying interest on foreign debts because the previous civil war left the Mexican treasury empty. Creditors from Britain, France and Spain were very angry at the Mexican government's actions and all applied for force interference to their respective governments.
The French team still had ambitions for occupying Mexico because they had good relations with the United States, the initiator of NATO, at this time. They decided to open up a second battlefield in this country not far from the Panama Canal, a power of the Windsor consortium. This place could unite the US federal government and the Granada government, and they had a better chance of winning. This is why Napoleon III had never seen the power of the king-class heavy cruiser, otherwise he would not dare to think so if he gave him 100 leopards.
NATO and Windsor consortium will have a battle in Central America.
A while ago, the Granada government has been promoting the unreasonable and illegal way of excavation of the Panama Canal, because the Panama Canal intersects with the Chagris River, and the water level of this river is higher than sea level. After the canal is opened, the water of the Chagris River flows into the ocean, which will affect the inland shipping. In the past, engineers suggested building a ship lock to block both ends of the canal to create an artificial lake, which not only protects the inland shipping, but also saves a lot of excavation projects. However, the canal company did not adopt it because the boss said that to increase the engineering volume with the highest quality canal, and setting up a ship lock to reduce efficiency is a problem.
As for the impact on inland shipping, the boss said that Panama could build more railways to make up for it. The Granada government hoped to get huge compensation, but the Canal company thought the amount was too huge and the two sides had not reached an agreement. The Granada government was originally unhappy, but now it finally broke out. With the support of the United States, it began to mobilize the army.
Journalists are all over the world. Reuters, the world's largest intelligence organization, had long learned about Granada's conspiracy. The Navy of the East India Company, which was anchored in Hawaii, quickly mobilized. This time, two 10,000-ton troop transport ships were added, and a total of 10,000 marines will be expeditioned to Granada. The Indian army will deal with the Russian troops in Persia, Afghanistan and other places, so this time it was dominated by Japanese soldiers, supplemented by a small number of British officials, Malay soldiers, and Nanyang Chinese soldiers.
The high-tech army is different. During this expedition, the Windsor Military Hospital prepared 100,000 bottles of DEET potion for the soldiers. Applying it at one time can prevent being harassed by mosquitoes for up to 5 hours, which is greatly beneficial to the marching and combat in the tropical rainforest.
The Provisional Government of Granada had no idea that the Windsor Consortium's troops would respond so quickly. What awaited them was a completely unexpected situation.
After the secession of the Greater Colombia, the political situation was quite unstable, and even the name of the country was unstable. First, it was called New Granada, and in 1856 it was changed to the Federation of Granada. (http:///.). In order to learn from the lessons and satisfy the decentralization requirements of the provinces in order to appease the people, and not cause divisions like Venezuela and Ecuador. Under the federal system, local power was great, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the centralists. It took action to regain a lot of power in the provinces, leading to the rebellion. The Liberals led by Moscrat captured the capital Bogota and served as president of the provisional government. The provisional government was no longer the government that signed a treaty with the Canal Company, and even the name could be changed again.
The Provisional Government had just been established, and internal and external difficulties and financial difficulties forced them to make a bad decision. They confiscated a large number of church schools, hospitals, monasteries, land, and houses. They became addicted to the US government. After inciting the US government, they actually wanted to collect the Panama Canal. The Windsor Consortium spent so much effort on the canal and created so much new technology, Mosquera had no idea about this. His geopolitical thoughts were still on the way to gain support from the United States.
The first thing I learned about the accident of NATO new member Granada was the Americans, who were "lost contact" this time. This is the old rule of the East India Navy. Before fighting, I cut off the target's remote telegram.
