The sudden eruption of chaos in Central America not only caught the British off guard, but even Ferdinand was blown away. Even if things were going to fall apart, how could so many countries erupt all at once, like they were rushing to a market fair?
Unfortunately, Bulgaria's intelligence network in the Americas was still incomplete, leaving them unable to trace the mastermind behind it. Ferdinand could only speculate out of thin air.
There were only a handful of countries or forces in the world with both the strength and the capability to stir up chaos in Central America.
The first were the British. But there was no need for them to make trouble for themselves. Even if they had some scheme, they could have waited until the two wars were over before acting.
Unless it was an internal struggle, with both sides driven to a fight to the death, and one faction had staged this in order to crush its political rivals.
In theory, that was impossible in the British Empire. Political parties did not wield that much power, and most of their influence was confined within the country. Unless it had been orchestrated by the financial conglomerates, but the odds of that were infinitesimal!
Next came the American financial interests—or rather, the American conglomerates. The United States government was finished, and those conglomerates had suffered grievous losses as well, but most of their core strength had been preserved.
They had operated in the countries of Central America for a century or more. They had the strength to ignite this war.
But the problem was that Ferdinand could not think of any reason why they would do this. After all, orchestrating such turmoil came at a cost. Even if Central America descended into chaos, what benefit could they gain
