Chapter 605 Public Opinion Offensive

Under the urging of Britain, the World Alliance acted quickly.

On August 25, 1924, the World Alliance sent a notice to the US government, asking the US government to end the war in the Philippines and Central America within three months and bring peace to the two regions.

During the three-month period, the Americans must not send troops to the Philippines and Central America again, and should gradually withdraw the US troops in these two regions and withdraw their navy.

If the United States cannot meet the above conditions, then three months later, at the end of November 1924, the World Alliance will formally intervene in the wars in these two regions by force.

This notice was not only submitted to the US government, but also reported by major European media, and circulated to the American media and the public.

Such a threatening notice also firmly stated the position of the World Alliance. The US government naturally knew what the purpose behind this notice was, but they could no longer retreat at this time.

In other words, they must choose a more reasonable plan that would not cause them much loss in order to satisfy the American people who have already known about it.

Let's not talk about the Philippines. After all, the Philippines loses money most of the time. Its biggest role is just a springboard for the US Pacific strategy, a military base on the west coast of the Pacific.

Central America is very important to the United States, and it is not far from the US mainland.

If the European powers take control of Central America, several coastal states in the southern United States will be threatened by them, which is an unacceptable fact for Americans.

What's more, if the Panama Canal is also lost in this incident, then the hope of the United States will be basically extinguished.

The importance of the Panama Canal to the United States is no less than any canal in the world, just as the importance of the Kiel Canal to the German Empire.

But the Kiel Canal only saves hundreds of nautical miles, while the Panama Canal saves the entire South America.

If the Panama Canal is in the hands of other countries, the US economy and development will usher in darkness, which is absolutely unacceptable to the US government.

With this attitude, the US government contacted the World Alliance and several important countries in the World Alliance to express the attitude of the US government, which is unwilling to withdraw from Central America.

No matter how firm the Americans' attitude is, one country is destined to be unable to resist the alliance of several countries.

Australasia and Britain smiled slightly and took out the strategy of the previous Irish War, which was to control public opinion and bombard.

The Americans had cheated the British in the Irish War before, and publicized the cruel rule of the British in Ireland, making the British a big villain.

This time it was the British turn to retaliate. Britain and Australasia showed no mercy and acquired a large number of European and American news newspapers. They reported on the Central American War one after another, and portrayed the US army as an evil villain.

August 31, 1924, Los Angeles, California, USA.

Audik is an ordinary American worker. Like other workers, their most comfortable time is the ten minutes of reading newspapers during breakfast, which not only allows them to relax, but also allows them to learn about new things happening in society.

Picking up today's newspaper, Audik's face was slightly surprised, and he looked at the biggest headline on the newspaper with surprise - the evil war.

Reading the content of the newspaper gently, Audik's face became very exciting, attracted by the good writing style of the news editor, and brought himself into this story.

The story at the beginning of the news tells about an ordinary family in Nicaragua, Central America, who is also an ordinary worker like Audik.

But because there is a US base in Nicaragua, these American soldiers will harass Nicaraguan civilians from time to time, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil.

Because of American soldiers, a large number of Nicaraguan families have gone from their original happy homes to broken homes, and even when they are sick, they have no money to see a doctor, and eventually their bodies are dragged down.

At the end of the story, there is a summary of the news, and a thought-provoking question is raised: "If this is the real reason for the war, will you still support this evil war?"

Although the authenticity of this story is not stated, several pictures in the news are pictures from the Nicaraguan War, and there are several Nicaraguan children who look skinny and hungry.

This is also the cleverness of the newspaper. It does not actively explain the authenticity of the story, but allows the public to guess, let the public deeply substitute this story, and consider it from the perspective of Nicaragua.

"Damn, this can't be true?" Audik's face became hesitant, because he also understood that the world is not so glorious, and the struggle between countries is not so harmonious.

"What's wrong?" Audik's wife looked at her husband curiously.

"Look for yourself, I can't believe this is true. What exactly did our country do?" Audik said in disbelief.

Such scenes happened in many American families, and the atmosphere of the last day of August became less wonderful.

But this is nothing. The morning news can't affect these workers from going to their jobs. After all, making money is the most important thing.

But all these workers who watched the news gathered together. This is the best time for public opinion to ferment.

A factory outside Los Angeles.

"Hey, Audik, have you seen the news today?" The person next to Audik looked at Audik mysteriously and asked.

"Of course, have you seen that report too?" Audik nodded, just wanting to ask his own question.

"Do you think the news is true, Audik. Has our country really done so many cruel things?" Before Audik could ask, the person next to him asked directly.

"It shouldn't be." Audik's answer was a little hesitant, just like his mood: "Aren't those soldiers ordinary Americans? They shouldn't do that."

"Then how do you explain the flu thing before?" The man continued to ask curiously.

Audik was speechless at this time, and had no intention of refutation.

Let's not talk about the authenticity of this news report for now. The last time the flu came from the US laboratory, it was certified by the World Alliance, and the US government also paid a considerable amount of compensation for it.

If it is not true, the World Alliance can't frame it for no reason! Besides, the US government has acknowledged the loan, which is enough to prove that the US government is guilty.

With the flu in front of them, even if they are law-abiding and patriotic Americans, they can't guarantee that their government and army won't do such a thing.

"What are you talking about?" The people next to him also came up and joined the chat.

"Talking about today's newspaper, Sherlock. Didn't you see today's newspaper? You really missed a big news." The person next to Audik said with a smile.

"Is it that report? I saw it too." The man named Sherlock nodded and said.

"Do you think that's true, Sherlock?" Audik asked curiously.

"I think it should be true. If it wasn't true, the World Alliance would not issue a formal warning.

You know, the World Alliance is composed of five major powers: Britain, Australasia, France, Russia and Italy. It can't be specifically targeting us, right?" Sherlock expressed his thoughts.

"Damn, it seems that the news is true." The person next to Audik said angrily: "We can't support this evil war. Do you have any good plans?"

"Why not ask Mr. Dyke's idea? If you want to organize a parade for this, I am happy to spend my free time." Audik nodded and suggested.

Dyke is the head of the factory's workers' association. He is deeply loved by these workers and has the highest voice among the workers.

General workers' parades are also organized by these workers' associations. After all, not many people have enough prestige to organize the workers of the entire factory to march.

If the morning news report only opened up the controversy among Americans about this war, then as time fermented, this controversy gradually reached its climax.

As a country that was established not long ago and the largest immigrant country in the world, the United States still has many unstable factors in the country.

Although a large number of immigrants have identified with the country because of its strength, many people are not satisfied with the government and the country.

Under the promotion of domestic and foreign establishments, the discussion about this war has reached its climax. Many people who are dissatisfied with the government have gradually jumped out and even started a huge parade.

On September 1, 1924, the first demonstration about this incident appeared on the streets of Los Angeles. A total of more than 500 workers from several factories participated, which attracted great attention from the Los Angeles government.

But this is not over yet. Within just one week, the popular storm swept through many American cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, from the West Coast to the East Coast.

If the initial demonstration was just a private conspiracy of some factories, then with the development of time, the demonstration has become organized and large-scale.

By September 7, 1924, the number of people marching in the United States had exceeded 100,000.

On the streets of major cities in the United States, Americans holding banners and demanding that the United States end the war can be seen.

They shouted angrily and even denounced the American police who maintained order as accomplices of the government.

The current President Coolidge and the US President Wilson during the flu period were also called lunatics by these Americans who marched, believing that they were leading the United States to the abyss.
