Chapter 582 Chaos in Central America, War Every Day

Because of President Coolidge's anger, the US military's actions were also faster than those of President Wilson.

In less than a week, the first batch of US troops had assembled and were ready to set off for the armed trial in Nicaragua.

President Coolidge was confidently giving a pre-war speech to these soldiers, but soon the Minister of Foreign Affairs hurried over and whispered to President Coolidge with a heavy face: "Mr. President, there are changes in Central America!"

President Coolidge's face changed immediately, but looking at the questioning eyes of many soldiers under the stage, he knew that this was not the time to affect the morale of the army, so he could only continue his speech.

After the mobilization speech, President Coolidge found the Minister of Foreign Affairs with a heavy face and asked urgently: "What happened to Central America?"

Several Central American countries once formed the Central American Federation, and almost all the countries after the dispersion were controlled by the United States and Britain.

Among them, the United States controlled most of them with its own advantages and was responsible for guarding the Panama Canal, which also concerned the vital interests of the United States.

If a Central American country breaks out in rebellion like Nicaragua, then this is not a trivial matter, it is enough to affect the entire American ambassador.

"A rebellion broke out in Costa Rica, against the dictatorship of F. Tinoco Granados. The current war has endangered most of Costa Rica, and F. Tinoco Granados has sent a telegram to us for help." The foreign minister said with a heavy face a piece of news that made President Coolidge's face change drastically.

Costa Rica's status is even more important than Nicaragua, because it is the Central American country closest to Panama.

The loss of Costa Rica is a fatal threat to the Panama Canal, and it will also create a gap between Panama and Central American countries, weakening the United States' rule in Central America.

"This damn bastard, why did you report this news now?" President Coolidge was a little angry and cursed.

Costa Rica, like other Central American countries, has long been influenced by the US government.

The famous United Fruit Company of the United States controlled the production and export of railways and bananas in Costa Rica. Although Costa Rica's banana exports ranked first in the world, it also allowed the United Fruit Company to firmly control Costa Rica's political power and finances.

With the support of the Americans, F. Tinoco Granados launched a coup and established a military dictatorship government that was biased towards the United States.

It was also because of the support of the Americans that F. Tinoco Granados' rule in Costa Rica was not very glorious, and he was always known for his brutality and dictatorship.

"Mr. President, this is not the time to be angry. The important thing now is to stabilize the situation in Costa Rica as soon as possible, and we have to ensure the safety of the Panama Canal." The Minister of Foreign Affairs reminded him hurriedly.

The most important thing for the United States at present is to ensure that the chaos in Central America does not spread to other countries as much as possible.

If it really becomes a chaos in the entire Central America, even the United States cannot solve it at all.

Unless the United States is willing to use all its army and navy to suppress it, the United States will really lose its international reputation if it does so, and it will be impossible to expand in other regions.

"Tell F. Tinoco Granados to hold on as long as possible before our army arrives. If he can hold on, he will still rule Costa Rica. If he can't, I will send him to see God!" President Coolidge also came to his senses and ordered the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Yes!" The Minister of Foreign Affairs nodded and went to convey President Coolidge's order.

"This damn rebel force!" After the Minister of Foreign Affairs left, President Coolidge could no longer hold back his emotions and roared in annoyance.

The civil war in Costa Rica cannot be concealed at all. After all, even if the American media does not report it, the European media will definitely report this news.

The most important thing at present is to summon more troops to suppress the rebellion in Costa Rica. If Costa Rica is out of the control of the United States, then more Central American countries will follow.

In this case, is it still far from Panama?

At this time, Arthur, who was in Australasia, naturally received the news of the Costa Rican civil war.

F. Tinoco Granados created a military dictatorship supported by Americans, so it is not surprising that he faced rebellion and civil war.

After all, there is more than one great power in Central America, the United States, and the British have infiltrated these Central American countries to a large extent, which also gives some Central American countries hope to resist the United States.

In Arthur's view, Americans should now pray that other Central American countries will not follow suit and start a major war involving the entire Central America, which would be fun.

Can the US military completely suppress the rebellion in the entire Central America? It is not enough from the army alone.

If the British armed intervention is added, the Americans will not have to play, because the United States cannot be the opponent of Britain.

On the British side, the civil war in Costa Rica has once again boosted Britain's confidence. The attitude of the World Alliance towards armed intervention has also changed to a certain extent.

However, this also allowed the British to see a new way, which was to support more Central American countries to launch rebellion and directly turn Americans into clowns in the 1920s.

Which of the remaining Central American countries will stand up against the United States? First of all, Honduras is excluded. After all, Britain has occupied part of Honduras, and Honduras hates Britain far more than it hates the United States.

Then there are only Guatemala and El Salvador. El Salvador is a region favored by Australasia, and its national power is too small, so it will not have much impact on the United States.

On the other hand, Guatemala, as one of the largest countries in Central America, will completely destroy the rule of the United States in Central America if a civil war breaks out again.

Thinking of this, the British government no longer hesitated and directly contacted the resistance forces in Guatemala.

The United Fruit Company still controls Guatemala's finances.

It has to be admitted that the Americans can easily control the economy and politics of many Central American countries with just one company.

But most of the governments supported by the Americans are military dictatorships, which makes the local people still dissatisfied.

It is precisely because of dissatisfaction that the British found an opportunity.

The current president of Guatemala is Manuel Estrada Cabrera, a dictator who should have been overthrown by an armed uprising a few years ago.

Although he has not been overthrown so far, dissatisfaction with Manuel Estrada Cabrera within Guatemala is deepening.

The opponent of Manuel Estrada Cabrera found by the British is actually Carlos Herrera Iruna, who overthrew Manuel's dictatorship in history.

Carlos Herrera Iruna is considered to be the best politician and businessman in Guatemala since the 19th century. Although he has not yet become president, his talent as a businessman is extraordinary.

He founded the Pantaleon Sugar Factory and purchased the El Bauer Sugar Factory in the early 20th century. He is visionary and persistent, and developed crop production and machinery production during his tenure. His Pantaleon Sugar Industry's holdings in Central and South America are far greater than those of the American Sugar Company, ranking among the top ten.

Carlos Herrera Iluna's talent in business is evident in that he can make his capital surpass that of American companies in the same industry.

As one of the largest businessmen in Guatemala, Carlos Herrera Iluna still has a certain weight in Guatemala.

After being found by the British, Carlos Herrera Iluna immediately expressed his opposition to Manuel's dictatorship, and with the support of Britain, he decided to join the uprising against Manuel's dictatorship.

Also joining the uprising was José María Orellana, the next president of Guatemala who had overthrown Manuel's dictatorship and Carlos Herrera Iluna's government.

Arthur was not aware of the British's actions, but news of the rebellion soon broke out in Guatemala, causing President Coolidge, who was already a little anxious, to faint.

No one knew better than President Coolidge what the civil war in Guatemala represented, which meant that the American rule in Central America had been wiped out.

Even if he could still control the Panama Canal, the crime of losing most of Central America was enough to make President Coolidge the most incompetent American president in the 20th century, successfully surpassing his predecessor President Wilson and being elected the president who disappointed Americans the most.

Now Americans are no longer in the mood to consider whether there are other countries behind the rebellion in these countries. For the US government, the most important issue is which countries to choose to suppress the rebellion and how to deal with the interference of other countries.

The rebellion in Costa Rica was okay, and Arthur could still accept it. But Guatemala followed the rebellion, which made Arthur realize the possibility of British intervention.

Realizing that this was a good opportunity to quickly control El Salvador, Arthur no longer hesitated and asked the diplomatic department to contact El Salvador as soon as possible, and at the same time sent intelligence organizations to El Salvador to help El Salvador expel all American troops.

This is indeed the best and most reasonable time to control the situation in El Salvador.

Only at this time does El Salvador need external support the most, because without the help of other countries, it is unlikely that the small country of El Salvador will stand up against the Americans.

If they have the support of the Americans, they can still guarantee independence. But if it becomes independent from the Americans, whether El Salvador, which is surrounded on three sides by other Central American countries, can guarantee its independence and security is a problem.

This is also the reason why El Salvador is the only one in Central America that has no reaction. It is because it is weak!

Three countries have directly started civil wars, and they are all three Central American countries under the control of the United States. This has made other countries look like eating melons, and they can't wait to see the jokes of the Americans.

The US government has no choice but to condemn the resistance forces in these countries at the international level, and on the other hand, it will provide assistance to the governments and armies of these countries.

But such condemnation by the Americans does not matter to the Central American countries. Even if the resistance before did not have the support of any country, it definitely has it now.

The ambitions of the powerful countries are not a joke, and the capitalists are definitely not a joke.

No matter what these people who started the rebellion thought at the beginning, now, there must be the figures of other powers behind them.

This is also why it is unrealistic for Americans to solve the Central American rebellion alone. The United States cannot rely on one country to fight against all the powers unless the American navy and army are strong, but the reality is not so.

The current United States is strong in industry and economy, just like an old man with nothing but property, which poses no threat to these strong powers.

Looking closely at these powerful countries, their military strength is generally equal to their economy, or even slightly exceeds it.

Only the United States, a country with a natural geographical advantage, has very strong industrial and economic development, but its military strength does not match its economy.

The diplomatic department of Australasia also acted quickly and soon came into contact with the forces that resisted the government in El Salvador.

These Central American governments are all influenced by the US government, and Arthur will never win them over.

Compared with winning over the Salvadoran government, Arthur is more willing to find people who resist the government among the people of El Salvador and cultivate a Salvadoran government close to Australasia from scratch.

Because such a new government has an advantage, the ruler has no foundation in the political arena, so he is very dependent on help from Australasia.

This will greatly strengthen Australasia's control over El Salvador, which is much better than supporting the existing government.

As for the current Salvadoran government, who would care and pay attention? After all, they are close to the United States. If they want to care, let the Americans care.

In February and March, civil wars broke out in four countries, including El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador. The war directly ignited most of Central America, which attracted the attention of the whole world and made the US government a laughing stock of the world.

At the same time, Panama, which has more US troops stationed, is not at peace. Panama is not satisfied with the reality that the Americans directly divided the Panama Canal and turned it into a country within Panama.

Moreover, Panama has only recently gained independence from Colombia, and Colombia's ambition to regain Panama is well known.

At present, the border between Colombia and Panama has been frequently adjusted. For Americans, it is no longer a possibility of losing Central America, and there is even a great possibility of losing the entire Panama Canal.

The chaotic situation in Central America over the past two months has also made people in European countries laugh and say: "Chaotic Central America, war every day!", and the civil wars in many Central American countries are unified as the Central American War.
