Chapter 1447 Latin America
In history, the two world wars have brought great impact on the world and changed the pattern of the entire world, but it seems that nothing happened in Latin America.
During the two world wars, Latin America was almost a so-called role, and they were both good at everything and did not suffer any losses. Both sides won over and gained benefits. When it was about to end, as long as the team was right, they could finally share some benefits.
(The specific information of East China Heroes has been found, and it is included in the relevant works to avoid some people saying that East China Heroes cheated on the number of words.)
The same was true during World War II. Now, Latin America is still immersed in the attitude of using the big powers to fight and profit from it. Germany must take measures.
"Among Latin American countries, Mexico and Cuba are the most beneficial to us." Cialek continued to start his own analysis: "If we can reach an agreement with Mexico so that our troops can borrow Mexico, we can quickly land in the United States."
Canada in the northern United States is not the case. Americans are looking tight and can only start from the south. Mexico is a country adjacent to the United States, so it is best to use Mexico.
During this period, Mexico and the United States had not had a good relationship.
For the sake of its own country's economic considerations, Mexico has nationalized all the monopoly industries controlled by the Americans. Railways, oil, etc. are all controlled by the state. Of course, this angered the Americans and almost started fighting.
However, as the situation in Europe developed, Americans immediately changed their attitude and began to be kind to Mexico, trying to win over Mexico and fight for Mexico.
Historically, Americans did it, and Mexico also dispatched a pilot unit to join the Allied forces in combat.
Now, Mexico has not yet made a good choice, so there are still opportunities left to Germany.
"The United States expanded outwardly and seized a large area of Mexico's territory. If Mexico agreed to our accession, the territory of Texas could be returned to Mexico," said Cialick.
When the United States was first established, it was just a big chunk of the East Coast. As a result, it continued to expand and eventually became a country spanning the mainland, with most of its territory stolen.
Give Mexican territory as bait, use various economic and trade agreements to develop Mexico's national strength as a condition to tempt Mexico to take the bait!
As for Cuba, it is helpless. Just look at the map and you will know that if you want merchant ships to transport troops and materials to Mexico, you must go to the Caribbean Sea and bypass Cuba.
Or, it is to pass through the Panama Canal.
Mexico is the best choice.
"If Mexico does not agree, we can only continue to find solutions in the south. Argentina is the most easily attracted by us," Cialek continued.
Argentina is pro-Germany. As long as you look at the end of World War II, in the gossip, many German senior executives took submarines to Argentina.
Why not go to other countries?
Because Argentina is the only country that can give them asylum.
"In order to gain support from Brazil, the United States has invested heavily in Brazil and developed Brazil's industry, which is also contributing to their war machines. Judging from the contradiction between Argentina and Brazil, Argentina is the most likely to turn to us." Ribbintrov affirmed Cialique's proposal.
If there is any country in South America that is the easiest to support Germany, it is undoubtedly Argentina.
"Our businessmen are going to invest heavily in Argentina, build new factories, and develop Argentina's industry, so that Argentina's position will be more inclined to us, at least to give us a solid base in South America."
Judging from the map, Argentina is in the southern hemisphere. It is not appropriate to use Argentina as a springboard to attack the United States, but as a military base, it is definitely good.
"Reinhart, Ribbintrov, your focus in the future is to make progress in South America and lay the foundation for the next strategy of the empire," said Cirick.
The intelligence and diplomatic departments have taken a two-pronged approach, and this is the first formal action to start in South America!
"Yes!" the two replied together. They naturally knew how difficult the task they were, but they were not afraid. Mexico must conquer it! Give benefits first, win over, and if they cannot win over, they will subvert the regime. Now that Germany's faith has spread throughout the world, believers can be found in Mexico. They have already been very skilled in this game in Europe.
"Note that it must be kept confidential and the United States cannot discover our goal." Cialick continued.
Americans have always regarded Latin America as their back garden, and it is necessary to be cautious when engaging in conspiracy here.
In short, these roundabout solutions are much easier than landing directly on the United States. It is conceivable that Americans will definitely establish shore defense projects on their coastlines. If they directly cross the Atlantic Ocean and land, they will never know how they die.
"I think we might as well do some strategic deception," Scherner spoke at this moment: "We take Iceland and attack Greenland, or directly attack Canada to attract the Americans to take the bait."
If you directly attack the United States, it is actually very close, because you have already taken the UK. As long as you take down the near Iceland and then go to Greenland, you will be separated from Canada by the Davis Strait.
Therefore, this plan is the most road-saving.
In this way, the Americans must think that they will start from the north, thus ignoring the threat from the south and covering up Germany's real offensive intentions.
At the same time, with Iceland or if Greenland is taken, most of Germany's fighter jets can take off from there, and the voyage to attack the United States will be closer.
"This is a good idea!" Cialek agreed with Scherner's plan: "Summer is about to enter, and it is the warmest time in Iceland. Our navy has been moving for a long time. Let us help Denmark and recover Iceland."
Iceland is not a completely independent kingdom. In the past, Iceland was a colony of the King of Norway and later became a vassal state of Denmark.
In 1918, Denmark signed a joint bill with Iceland, which recognized the Kingdom of Iceland as a sovereign state affiliated with the Kingdom of Denmark. Since then, Iceland has further gained independence and sovereignty similar to that of a protector in terms of internal affairs, and Denmark still retains power in terms of diplomacy and defense.
When Germany began to sweep the European continent, Denmark, as a German neighbor, quickly became a vassal of Germany.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Icelandic Parliament announced that the Icelandic government had taken back Iceland's diplomatic and other affairs from the Denmark King and officially declared independence.
Of course, the Danish government will not agree. In Denmark's laws, Iceland is still Denmark.
Just after Iceland declared independence, Britain occupied the neutral Iceland, and as a result, the US military replaced the British army to station in Iceland. The Danish king continued to maintain legal rule.
