Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 918 Latin America

Why don't those high-level officials in Washington want an armistice and peace talks? Even if the war cannot be ended, it would be better if it can be delayed for two or three years. But according to the conditions proposed by the Germans, most of these high-level officials would have to be taken to Europe to be tried by the European War Tribunal, and would most likely be convicted of war crimes.

Who would agree to this damn peace negotiation in this case? We can only bite the bullet and fight to the end.

But the problem is that it is the United States that will suffer the consequences of such a hard fight. The total losses suffered by the United States so far are simply difficult to estimate.

The gold and rare treasures in the museums were “robbed” by the Germans; tons and tons of support materials were sent to the Soviet Union but ended up being cheap for the Far East and Germany; hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops were trapped in the Soviet Union; were attacked The sunken fleet and downed fighters/bombers; countless dead crew members and pilots cannot be cultivated by cultivation. There are also major American cities and industrial areas that have been bombed from the beginning of the war to the present.

What makes them most distressed is the loss of the entire Latin America except Mexico!

As mentioned earlier, the United States regards Latin America as its own backyard. As early as the eve of World War II, the United States' power in Latin America had far surpassed other European countries and ranked first. The U.S. monopoly capital carries out crazy economic plunder and control of Latin American countries, extracting the wealth of Latin American countries and hindering the development of these countries. Wall Street monopolies even regard Latin America as their private domain, a favorable investment location, and a supplier of raw materials, fuel and cheap labor.

A Wall Street financial tycoon once said this. "As an export market for the United States, Latin America is as important to the United States as Europe as a whole. The three continents of Asia, Africa and Oceania combined are more important. As the source of imported resources for the United States, the importance of Latin American republics to the United States is Far more so than Europe or any other continent."

The United States has penetrated the Latin American economy in various ways, ranging from expanding investment, loans, import and export trade and technical assistance: signing trade agreements, seizing economic privileges, opening subsidiaries, and even "buying less and selling more" and "buying at a low price". "Sell more expensive" and use every possible means; through these methods, American monopoly capital has penetrated into everything.

After the Panama Conference in September 1939, the United States established the Inter-American Financial and Economic Advisory Committee in Washington on the pretext of strengthening mutual assistance and cooperation among American countries. Then, the United States made large investments in Latin America in the name of providing funds, equipment, and technical assistance. According to statistics, between 1941 and 1945, the U.S. Export-Import Bank's loans to Latin American countries accounted for 34% of the bank's total foreign loans; in 1945 alone, it lent US$7.5 billion.

In the original time and space, after the outbreak of World War II, exchanges between Latin American countries and Europe were interrupted (within one month after the Pearl Harbor incident, Central America and the Caribbean countries - Cuba, Panama, Dominica, Haiti, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Hondo Las Vegas, Doug and Costa Rica all declared war on the Axis Powers. At the Foreign Ministers Conference of the American Countries held in Rio de Janeiro in January 1942, all countries except Argentina and Chile agreed to sever diplomatic relations with the Axis Powers. By January 1945, under the pressure of the entire world situation, Argentina also very reluctantly severed relations with Germany on the surface), which greatly benefited the United States economically. In the first year of the war alone, exports from Latin American countries to Europe dropped by 50%; on the contrary, the United States' share of Latin America's total imports increased from 5% in 1939 to 4% in 1940. , and increased to 2% in 1945.

An assistant for Latin American affairs at the U.S. State Department said something very interesting. “The United States and our brother republics are inextricably linked. From the time you wake up in the morning and drink Brazilian or Colombian coffee, until late at night when your wife opens your beautiful can of Glass Via, they are closely linked. We are inseparable. You sleep on a bed made of Chilean bronze or brass. You have electricity from Venezuelan oil. You have batteries from Mexico in your car. You eat sugar from Cuba, sugar from Costa Rica. Bananas, sugar and wine from Haiti. You wear a scarf made of Peruvian wool and clothes made of Uruguayan wool. Your carpet is made of Argentinian wool. The chocolate candies your children eat are made of Ecuadorian cocoa. In a word, your welfare depends on our relationship with Latin America. Without Latin America, many of your big companies would have a hard time getting by, and even if you could get the raw materials, the value would be very expensive. Your breakfast would be without coffee and sugar. It's very pitiful. Finally, how can your son fight without weapons made from Latin American raw materials?"

But now the Germans have landed in Latin America, directly cutting off the connection between Latin America and the United States, and beginning to eliminate American forces in Latin America.

The speed, efficiency, and cruelty of his methods are simply outrageous!

The pro-American forces in most countries in Latin America were uprooted in a short period of time, and all these pro-American elements were thrown into concentration camps that will never see the light of day. If the Americans cannot counterattack and take back Latin America from the Germans, these guys will have to work in concentration camps until they die.

As for countries that are unwilling to obey, such as Brazil, Germany does not need to take action. The surrounding countries such as Colombia, Venezuela, and Argentina, which have purchased large quantities of German weapons and equipment, have begun to gear up and concentrate heavy troops on their respective borders. There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air, as if a spark could cause a big explosion.

What's even more terrible is that under the "incitement" of Germany, Latin American countries have announced that all previous investments, loans and any form of trade agreements from the United States are invalid!

As a result, the billions of loans lent by the Export-Import Bank of the United States were in vain, and other investors lost all their money.

Are you dissatisfied? If you don't accept it, tell my new big brother? ! If you don’t dare, just hold it in! !

For a time, a large number of investors became depressed and committed suicide; even the financial giants on Wall Street vomited blood collectively.

Therefore, the conditions of the U.S. peace talks include "the complete withdrawal of German troops from Latin America and the maintenance of the 'Monroe Doctrine' that America is an America for Americans", "no ceding of territory", and "the United States will deal with war criminals on its own" and other conditions.

The funny thing is that these conditions have only been passed down among high-level officials in the United States, and have not yet been, or simply dare not, be formally submitted to the German side. Lest the Germans get angry and bomb a few more American cities.

Vice President Truman sighed with great melancholy and spoke slowly. "Maybe we should talk to the Germans again. Except for the issue of territorial cession and war criminals, other issues can be easily discussed, right?"
