I Will Stage A Coup D’état - Chapter 149
Only Noblemtl
EP.149 3rd place in the ranking of great powers (1)
The colonial empires succeeded, for a time, in absolving themselves of responsibility thanks to McCarthyism.
During this time, they made an all-out effort to persuade Washington.
“Those guys, they’re pure communists. Washington was being victimized by them too. We’re the same victims.”
As the Berlin Blockade was added to the list McCarthy had stirred up, popular support for decolonization was replaced by an ideology of anti-communism.
I was willing to risk anything if it meant stopping those cockroach-like commies.
Even the Truman administration could not completely ignore this public opinion.
No, I was on the verge of being crushed by the pressure.
“How long will the Truman administration continue to betray the free world? Let our friends catch the commies now!”
As McCarthy raised his voice, the Truman administration was forced to retreat from its initial position.
Finally, the United States decided to tolerate the actions of the colonial empires.
“The genocide of colonial inhabitants must never happen. Do you understand?”
The colonial powers promised to do so in response to the U.S. government’s demands.
Of course, that wasn’t the case at all.
‘Oh, after killing them, you can just say you caught a communist. What’s the big deal? They’re not going to check the corpse to see if it was a communist.’
Led by Churchill and Moseley, the colonial powers resumed their offensives simultaneously.
The war resumed after a short break.
However, the fight was not as easy as the colonial powers thought.
While the colonial empires paused, the colonies regrouped and prepared to confront their former masters.
“Huh?”
The Soviet Union provided weapons, military advisers, and enthusiastic young soldiers.
The war did not go as easily as the colonial powers had thought.
This was especially true in India.
India was too large a continent to be conquered on foot.
The British achieved success after victory, but they grew tired of the endless guerrilla warfare.
The War of Independence was not a European-style war that ended with the occupation of a few large cities.
The British war leadership also lost its motivation.
“Your Majesty. If we drag this war on like this, we will have neither food nor shelter. We must compromise somehow.”
Churchill was excited by the talk of compromise, but the reality was harsh.
Britain mobilized 1 million pro-British Indian troops, including 450,000 British troops, but the enemy mobilized 2.5 million to resist.
Even that wasn’t all that India had to offer.
India was the second most populous country after China.
With hundreds of casualties a day, the British began to have doubts about the war.
“If we go to war again, we can win in one go! You said it was a special military operation! Explain!”
The British were beginning to feel war-weary.
Before realizing that this was war, it was bearable, but as the huge war expenses continued to be spent and life became difficult, people began to notice.
This was not a war of territorial recovery, but a war of conquest against another country.
“Just stop this fucking war! Stop killing our children!”
An anti-war street protest has taken place in central London.
Leading this procession was the Labour Party, which had opposed the war.
“These damn bastards.”
Churchill sensed that the tide had turned.
It was advantageous for him when the regime was overthrown, but not anymore.
Public opinion was behind the Labour Party.
“It would be better to suppress it by force. If we are swayed by a handful of public opinions, we will not be able to do anything. We must protect the British Empire!”
Moseley talked about a hard-line response.
Churchill also had a similar problem.
“Mobilize the mounted police.”
Churchill made a decision.
“Sweep away the mob!”
More than 40 British people were killed in the bloody crackdown that day.
This crackdown earned Churchill the nickname “murderous prime minister.”
Despite the use of force to suppress the protests, the number of protesters doubled.
If the British fascists and imperialists faced an unbearable resistance from the people, Léotard in France faced the resistance of the military.
“We can’t do this anymore. If it’s Algeria, it’s Algeria. If it’s Tunisia, it’s Tunisia. Let’s concentrate our forces on the territories that we will defend to the end.”
“Are you daring to defy the government’s will now!”
“If an order sounds like an order, won’t it be followed?”
Leotard made an example of ten generals who had rebelled against him by cutting them down, but the French army did not submit to the young president meekly.
“Where, can you cut some more? We can just take off our uniforms.”
In the face of the French army’s mutiny, Leotard was eventually forced to compromise.
“You may negotiate in Indochina. Just withdraw from Equatorial Africa.”
Leotar began to abandon the swampy battlefields one by one.
As France gave up territory, it was inevitable that the Golden Dawn’s political position would be damaged.
As France and England began to waver, the Netherlands, which had trusted the two powers and fought bravely, also wavered.
“No, do we really have to negotiate?”
The Dutch offered to retreat in exchange for recognition of their colonial interests and assets.
It was a radical proposal, considering the overwhelming dominance of the Netherlands.
Of course, the Dutch proposal fell on deaf ears.
“Stop being such a jerk, we’ll go all the way.”
Holland couldn’t help but scream.
If things continued this way, the colony would have sunk along with us.
Finally, Britain, the leader of the colonial empires, asked the United States to mediate.
“I’ll stop the war, just help me save face.”
As the stubborn British Empire waved the white flag, the Truman administration regained its confidence.
“Look at this. We advised you to step down for the sake of the alliance.”
McCarthy was also unable to attack the Truman administration’s foreign policy when the situation turned out this way.
“Hmm. Did I know that things would turn out like this?”
On 15 August 1949, the Treaty of Peace was signed between the British Empire and the Republic of India in Delhi, India.
After that, however India was torn apart, it was up to India to decide.
The British were left to pack up and march away with nothing in their hands, having suffered over 30,000 casualties.
The blame for this fell entirely on the fascists and Churchill.
“Resign immediately! How can those who kill children walk around arrogantly, strutting their stuff as prime ministers and ministers?”
“Mr. Gali Poly Knock Child!
The British government collapsed within a week of signing the peace treaty.
“I will resign, taking full responsibility.”
Immediately after Churchill resigned, every member of the cabinet submitted their resignations.
The once-virtuoso Conservative Party and Alternative for Britain collapsed with the resignation of the cabinet.
“I will bring down the British Empire.”
Churchill was so devastated by the collapse of the empire that he immediately fled to the United States.
Mosley headed to France, but things weren’t going well for the French fascists there either.
“Leotard, I don’t think that guy will last long either. Madrid would be better.”
So I went to Spain.
The British fascists and imperialists were in a state of collapse, but France’s Leotard was not in perfect condition.
The military, with accumulated internal discontent, is threatening a coup.
“We too must bring down this warlord like Lee Seong-jun and save our country!”
With the change of government in Britain, which had been a close ally on the outside, France’s independent course collapsed.
For Leotard, who had been hoping to one day collaborate with Britain in nuclear development, this was a double blow.
Meanwhile, the situation on the Algerian and Tunisian fronts, where power was concentrated, was also not good.
France sent 650,000 troops to Northwest Africa, but was unable to crush the resistance groups, including the Algerian Liberation Front.
The war continued to drag on, dragging on and on.
The territory is shrinking and the war is dragging on.
Is it right to support Leotard?
French support for the Golden Dawn party is not what it used to be.
The imperialist regimes in the Netherlands and Belgium collapsed.
The Dutch blew up Indonesia, and Belgium was fighting pretty well, but couldn’t withstand American pressure.
“You little beasts who cut off people’s wrists. Stop killing people!”
Belgium, unable to withstand American pressure, decided to withdraw from Congo.
If it had been a remote area, it would have survived as a colony until 1960, but in this world, it wasn’t so lucky.
It was a mistake to get caught up in a large-scale colonial war initiated by Britain.
It was the responsibility of the regiment.
In the place where European imperialism and fascism collapsed with a scream, numerous new nations rose up.
Of course, the process was not smooth.
Even in India,
“Now we are united as one India.”
“Don’t say anything. We’re going to live separately.”
Pakistan is torn apart,
“You know what? We can’t live together with you.”
The Sikhs, who had resisted by siding with the British, established Khalistan and achieved independence.
In addition,
“Our Sikkim will stand as an independent nation.”
Many small countries declared independence.
Of course, India was not the one to recognize the independence of these countries.
“The territory of the Indian Empire excluding Myanmar will soon become unified India.”
India has now transformed from an independent force seeking its own independence to an imperialist force trampling on the independence of other countries.
“I learned nothing but bad things from the British. Where did you learn such tricks!”
“If you change your standing position, wouldn’t the scenery you see also change?”
Moreover, the leader of India was Jawaharlal Nehru, who pursued Korean-style democracy mixed with militarism.
“A united India cannot be divided. If we do not recognize it, we will be left in our own hands.”
“Where would you like to try it?”
India is no longer a colonial empire, but has entered into a war of attrition among itself.
It was no different for other independent countries.
As soon as the colonies gained independence, they entered an era of survival of the fittest, where they attacked their neighbors to expand their territory.
Looking at things like this, it seems that the colonies were not all good.
It’s just that they didn’t have the power to do imperialism.
Anyway, the result was obvious.
The war that briefly swept the globe ended with the defeat of the colonial empires.
In the shadow of that defeat, the imperialists who had been reminiscing about their former glory suddenly turned their heads and looked east.
There was a country that was rushing forward while everyone else was screaming from the agony of war.
“When did they become like this?”
korea.
The era was approaching when the Great Korean Empire, which had been on the periphery of the world, would rise to become the world’s third largest empire.
