Vol 4 Chapter 104: , John Bull

At the beginning of September, the defense of Romania had not yet started, and the defense of Ukraine had begun first. The Germans seemed to turn a blind eye to the Bulgarian army hiding in the defense line, and directly attacked Ukraine from Poland. &1t;/p>
Obviously, forcing the Russians to withdraw from the war is the real strategic purpose of the Germans. Compared with going to Romania to grab food, you can grab more in Ukraine. &1t;/p>
As for oil, the Germans don’t need to think about it, anyway, even if they get the oil field, they won’t be able to get oil for a while! Romanians can blow oil wells, and Bulgarians can naturally blow them too! &1t;/p>
The offensive of the German-Austrian forces naturally increased the pressure on the Tsarist government. Lithuania and Belarus have already fallen to more than half of them. The war in Ukraine has also burned to the Goron River. &1t;/p>
For the Russian Empire, every day the war went on, the loss was an astronomical figure. Unfortunately, the terms of the two sides could not be negotiated. The Winter Palace in St. Petersburg was already full of gloom, and Nicholas II had not shown a smile for a long time. . &1t;/p>
At the political meeting, Nicholas II roared: "What do the Germans want to do? Do they think that the great Russian Empire is a persimmon?&1t;/p>
Ceded Poland, half of Lithuania, and part of Ukraine? Do they think it will eat us?
&Amp;1t;/p>
Well, the sky is full of asking prices to pay back the money. The Germans are still negotiating with the Russians based on this concept. Unfortunately, the Czarist government can't afford to hold back. Every day is a loss of battle. It is no wonder that Nicholas II could not bear it. &1t;/p>
Perhaps the negotiations have not yet ended, the German-Austrian coalition forces have already come to St. Petersburg. As for the newly constructed line of defense, I am sorry that the time is too short. The inefficient Tsarist government has not had time to implement the plan. &1t;/p>
The Russian army on the frontline has been more than 5 million people at its peak, and there are still more than 2 million people left. This is still based on the premise that the Tsarist government has deployed several reinforcements from the country, otherwise the situation will be even worse. ! &1t;/p>
The Minister of Foreign Affairs said calmly: "Your Majesty, this is only a preliminary request made by the Germans, and it is not a final condition. We can completely preserve most of our interests through negotiations!&1t;/p>
It is even possible to keep the land undivided, just to pay a war indemnity, or to sell a batch of supplies to the Germans at a low price, and we can end the war in a decent way!
&Amp;1t;/p>
It is not only the Russians who want an armistice now. Why don't Germany and Austro-Hungary want to end the war? At least we have to get rid of the two-line combat before the Allies can win the war in a short period of time! &1t;/p>
In order to win the war, making some concessions to the Russians does not seem unacceptable? Of course, this is only in the eyes of politicians, but in fact it is not something the government can make concessions if it wants to make concessions! &1t;/p>
Nicholas II’s anger was suppressed. Since it was a negotiation, it was inevitable for the lion to open his mouth. His bottom line was to pay war indemnities, cede a few more cities at most, and continue the war! &1t;/p>
He said coldly: "Then what should we do on the front line? If we continue to lose the battle, maybe the negotiation is not over, we must move the capital first!"&1t;/p>
The new Minister of the Sixth Army bit his head and said: "Your Majesty, the offensive of the German-Austrian coalition forces has slowed down a lot recently. As the front line increases, they are almost unable to hold it.&1t;/p>
Now that Britain and France are almost ready on the Western Front, the Italians have already begun to withdraw their troops from the Western Front. If they want to fight the homeland defense, the Germans will need to fill this part of the gap in military strength. &1t;/p>
In June, the total strength of the German-Austrian coalition forces reached more than four million million. After more than three months of war, their loss of force was less than one million. Now their total force that can really be put into battle is only two million, we can completely drag the war until winter comes, and then counterattack!
&Amp;1t;/p>
Although it was a very suffocating explanation, Nicholas II accepted it. Napoleon smashed into the sand during the winter of the Russian Empire, and the Germans were no exception. &1t;/p>
It is now early September, and winter has begun in many parts of Russia, and it is getting colder as it goes east. At most, the German-Austrian forces will have to stop advancing in one month at most, otherwise the severe cold will cause They are done. &1t;/p>
In fact, is it that simple? The terrible winter in Russia, the Germans also know that Napoleon has used real cases to tell the world how terrible the winter in the Russian Empire is! &1t;/p>
……&Amp;1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, we have received news that the British are secretly negotiating with the Italians. The Italians are very likely to withdraw from the war in the near future!" The intelligence chief West Europe said cautiously. &1t;/p>
Ferdinand was stunned for a moment. The Allied Forces of the Allied Powers were less than 100 kilometers away from Rome. Perhaps it would take less than a week for the military parade in Rome. Now John Bull jumped out to do things again! &1t;/p>
"Guardian, let the Minister of Foreign Affairs come and see me immediately!"&1t;/p>
Fortunately, all this has not yet been born. If the Italians are really allowed to withdraw from the war so lightly, who will be reimbursed for the Bulgarian war funds? &1t;/p>
The Germans just paid for the war indemnities of Britain and France, and their economy collapsed. Even if Bulgaria gets a part of the share, they don't know that the year of the monkey can get it! &1t;/p>
Will the Austro-Hungarian Empire exist or not? Can we still count on the dismembered small country to come up with this money? &1t;/p>
Are there any other Confederate members who have survived? Even if there is, who can afford it except the three countries of Germany, Austria and Italy? &1t;/p>
Of course, the Italians are also very poor, but wherever their size is, even if they can't get the money in a short time, they can still pay their debts slowly, and they are not afraid that they dare to fall behind! &1t;/p>
……&Amp;1t;/p>
The Minister of Foreign Affairs Metjeev hurried over from the outside. Without waiting for him to speak, Ferdinand first said: "The British are conspiring with the Italians. Maybe it will not be long before the Italians will withdraw from the war!&1t;/ p>
The Italians' withdrawal from the war is also a good thing for us, but how to withdraw from the war is a problem! &1t;/p>
We can't tolerate a deadly enemy who was still fighting us just now and immediately become our ally. This is a blasphemy against sacrificed soldiers! &1t;/p>
Therefore, Bulgaria only accepts Italian surrender, but refuses to allow Italians to join the Allies! &1t;/p>
I ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with the French immediately. In Italy, the problem is that we must be consistent and unite to pressure the British to protest their shameless behavior of turning away from allies and enemies in private!
&Amp;1t;/p>
Ferdinand admitted that John Bull's diplomatic skills are awesome, but now Lao Tzu only accepts the Italians to surrender. If John Bull can persuade the Italians to surrender, then he will admit it too! &1t;/p>
If it is for Italians to join the Allies, then forget it! Now the Allies do not need the semi-crippled Italian navy, and their six armies are not very effective and useless. &1t;/p>
The most important thing is to let them join the Allied Powers, and everyone has to come up with a lot of supplies to feed them! This is equivalent to grabbing food from a bowl in Bulgaria. The materials of the Allied Powers are not rich, and everyone is saving a little bit. &1t;/p>
For materials shipped from overseas, the basic principle of distribution between Britain, France and Russia is 3.8:4.3:1:0.9! The share of materials that Bulgaria can get is already very small. If one more person is added to share, it will be worth it! &1t;/p>
Long-term interest money, short-term interest is the distribution of materials, from the Bulgarian standpoint, no matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective for Italy to surrender. &1t;/p>
As long as the French are interested in Italian territory, they must stand with Bulgaria. Now the French are very dissatisfied with the French-Italian dividing line, and at least a few strategic points must be obtained. &1t;/p>
Ferdinand doesn’t know if the French have greater ambitions. Anyway, as long as the French does not annex the entire Italian peninsula, he can accept it. &1t;/p>
Metzhev thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, diplomatic protest alone is probably not enough. Once the British and Italy reach an agreement, which creates established facts, there is nothing we can do!"&1t;/p>
Ferdinand said fiercely: "That's why we have to reach an agreement with the French. The British's action this time is mainly to check and balance the French. As long as the Italians become allies, the French will not be able to continue Italian expansion!& 1t;/p>
But we need the French to continue to expand abroad after the war, to provoke the contradiction between Britain and France, to attract the attention of the British and provide cover for our expansion! &1t;/p>
Now, UU reading www. uukanshu.com The Allied Forces of the Allied Powers will soon come to Rome. Even if the British and Italy reach an agreement, what can they do? &1t;/p>
As long as we French have the same position, even if the Italians announce their withdrawal from the war, we can continue to attack Rome and force the Italian government to surrender!
&Amp;1t;/p>
"Yes!" Chekov replied. &1t;/p>
Now everyone is still an ally, and after the war, everyone is a competitor. When Bulgaria wants to expand abroad, it will naturally have to face the tricks of various countries. &1t;/p>
The best way to solve this problem is to provoke conflicts between countries so that they cannot unite against Bulgaria! &1t;/p>
Don’t the British have a ranking of first enemy, second enemy, and third enemy? Well, create a powerful enemy for them! &1t;/p>
In the Americas, there is the United States, which wants to drive them out for a while, in East Asia, there is another Japan that is eyeing their colonies, in Europe, there is another France that will dominate the Big Six in Europe, and even in Eastern Europe, there is another country that turns the Baltic Sea into The monsters in the inner sea, can they still care about Bulgaria? &1t;/p>
In terms of threats, three of the four enemies above threatened John Bull's world hegemony. In contrast, Bulgaria most affected their right to speak in the Mediterranean, but they had no strength to drive them out! &1t;/p>
Ferdinand had some doubts that John Bull could keep his position as the hegemon of the world. &1t;/p>
