Vol 5 Chapter 103: , People do not stand without credibility

Genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? "Your Majesty, the Persian Military Command sent an urgent call.
On Christmas Eve, the Afghan government forces took the opportunity to sneak an attack on the premises of the British Army Supervisor.
This campaign resulted in at least five thousand British casualties, and more than three thousand people, including General Winston, the highest commander of the British army, were captured.
The next day, the Afghan National Army launched a full-scale counterattack. Due to the paralysis of the command system, the Indian colonial division that was forced by the supervising team quickly collapsed, and the British Afghan Expeditionary Force was almost wiped out! "The Chief of Staff Christoph said cautiously
The British will lose in the battlefield in Afghanistan. Ferdinand has no doubt that the tomb of the empire can not be put down by a mere 20 Indian divisions. Otherwise, wouldn't the later Soviet and the United States seem too wasteful?
However, the defeat was so swift and sharp that Ferdinand was a little surprised. Didn't the British army have the upper hand before? How could it be defeated at once?
Victory or defeat is commonplace in the military, and defeated and defeated, the great cause of the British Empire will be exhausted. Anyway, there are not many differences in India, that is, there are many people. Even if another 20 infantry divisions are formed, it will be easy.
It is estimated that for the London government, even the consequences of the annihilation of the Indian colonial army are not as good as the casualties of the thousands of supervising teams, which caused them a headache!
"Is the news accurate? Britain is so easily attacked?" Ferdinand asked incredulously.
"Your Majesty, the British have relaxed their vigilance at Christmas. They think Afghanistan, like the European continent, will not launch an offensive on this day!" Christoph explained
"It's that simple?" Ferdinand asked incredulously.
"Your Majesty, judging from the information we have collected, it is indeed the case. The British soldiers are on holiday at Christmas. The Indian division responsible for guarding the security of the camp, without supervision by anyone, has deserted.
When the Afghan army launched an offensive, they were not organized to effectively resist. Our analysis is that the high-level officers of the Indian division are on vacation, and the rest have no power to command the entire army. Christophe explained
Ferdinand nodded. This weakness is shared by all European armies. It is a European practice for a Christmas Eve truce. Even in a world war, the armies of all countries will cease fighting on this day.
Some soldiers even drank too much and drove to the opposite side to celebrate Christmas, and were put back the next day.
In the battlefield in the town of Ypres, Belgium, the British and German armies also played football together.
Captain Hamilton, the commander of the British First Royal Warwickshire Regiment, also held a historic
meeting
with officers of the same rank as the German forces.
The two sides confirmed a 48-hour truce, and soldiers walked out of the trenches and sang Christmas carols together.
The Germans took out Frieze candles, cakes and cigars, and the British took out Christmas puddings to exchange them. The two sides also used tin cans as footballs, and trench-digging picks as goal posts for football matches.
This is not only the case on the Western Front, but the Eastern Front is no exception. On Christmas 1916, Vidinstein, the head of the Austro-Hungarian Cross regiment, who was scarce of supplies, took the entire regiment to the Bulgarian army’s position for Christmas. Section.
Such examples should not happen too much on the European continent, and even Ferdinand cannot change this tradition.
The British were unlucky this time. They obeyed the rules. The Afghans on the opposite side did not obey the rules. Cultural differences meant that the Afghan army did not have to celebrate Christmas.
"Well, is there any news coming from the battlefield in Southeast Asia?" Ferdinand asked concerned.
"Your Majesty, our intelligence in Southeast Asia is too weak and we haven't sent any information back, but the intelligence that the British sent back to London is normal!" Christophe said
"No, the Afghans know to seize this opportunity to counterattack, don't the Revolutionary Party in Southeast Asia know it?
Even though they are all idiots, the Japanese know it? If it is not used, is this still Japanese style? "Ferdinand analyzes
Everyone's face changed slightly. There were only two reasons for this happening:
1. The Bulgarian intelligence system in London was exposed, and the information returned was false;
2. The British army suffered heavy casualties, and the British officers on the front line concealed the truth from the country.
Obviously it cannot be the first situation. Even if the Bulgarian intelligence organization is exposed, the British will use it even if they do not directly arrest people. They will pit Bulgaria by passing false information at critical moments. It is impossible to make them aware of it so easily. .
As long as it is not exposed by the intelligence system, it does not matter to Bulgaria that it does not matter if the British know what happened in Southeast Asia.
"Your Majesty, can we deal with the issue of Mindanao now? The above battle is about to come to an end. The religious forces have won a big victory, and the revolutionary party will be wiped out!" Colonial Secretary Donald proposed.
Bulgaria's sphere of influence in Southeast Asia is very small. Except for Mindanao, the remaining Douding Islands are really not worth mentioning.
Wars are now raging in the Southeast, and Mindanao is no exception, except that other areas are in anti-colonial uprisings, here are anti-religious uprisings.
The benefits of supporting agents have emerged. In this chaos, Bulgaria can do its own thing, although only temporarily.
"Don't worry, maybe you can let in a batch of smuggled arms and let them continue fighting. It is not convenient for us to come forward now. After all, we sold the local governance to them as agreed!" Ferdinand shook his head and said
People do not stand without faith, industry does not prosper without faith, and country declines without faith!
For a long time in the future, Bulgaria will not be able to directly rule the colonies in Southeast Asia. If a few officials are sent to establish a colonial government, it is better to sell the governance power and let the locals autonomy.
At the very least, the autonomous government can help attract hatred. Bulgaria does not directly rule the local area. Even if there is a rebellion, it is the autonomous government.
If the Revolutionary Party really wants to become bigger, it is nothing more than a replacement of an agent. Can they reject Bulgaria's kindness?
For the study of human nature, Ferdinand still read many articles. Perhaps these revolutionaries are still really throwing their heads and blood, once they become rulers, the situation will change.
People's hearts are corroded by interests, and they will begin to weigh the pros and cons. If the territory is large enough, the population is large enough, and the industrial foundation is also laid, then they will definitely establish their own country.
However, there is no such monster in the Bulgarian colony. A small island of Mindanao has a population of no more than two million, industry is equal to zero, and the territory is only tens of thousands of square kilometers.
To get rid of Bulgaria’s colonial rule and establish an independent country, such a dream can be imagined but cannot be done. In the era of imperialism, there is no strength, either occupied by this power, or enslaved by that power.
Ferdinand didn't worry about having fun anymore. For his own benefit, these people would also make the most correct choice.
...
Kingdom of the Netherlands
Since the outbreak of the Indonesian rebellion, the Dutch government has not had a comfortable life for a few days. Seeing the increasing number of casualties, they are not happy.
Even if the Japanese help to top the tank, the domestic pressure is still growing. The Bulgarian-Dutch marriage has diverted the attention of the people. This is only a short-term one. Once the frontline is defeated, the crisis will still be detonated!
"The Bulgarians are not interested in our proposal. They are now undoubtedly continuing to expand in Southeast Asia!" The Dutch Foreign Minister Robinson said with a wry smile
"Well, this is also in our expectation. Southeast Asia has long been divided up with Britain and France. At this time, even if the Bulgarians intervened, there was no goal of expansion.
It is impossible for the Bulgarians to start a war with Britain and France for the sake of Southeast Asia. This benefit is not enough to make them risky.
The two royal families have just been married again, and the Bulgarian government can't beat their king in the face of us. At least for decades, they can't attack our colonies!
This rebellion is not the same as before. With Japanese support behind the scenes, it is not so simple to put down. The price we can pay at the moment is really not enough to make them tempted! "The Dutch Prime Minister Daan sighed and said (Can't translate it??)
"If the Bulgarians don't want to intervene, then we have to continue working with the British?
Now that the rebels have begun to unite, then at least half of our colonies need to fight with the British!
This situation is too bad, and I doubt very much what incredible things will happen in the next battle! "The Secretary of the Army Dan Gott said depressed.
The most depressing thing in the world is undoubtedly that Yu Ming knows that there is a pit ahead, so he still wants to jump inside!
"Hi, buddy, the situation may not be as bad as you think. We have already lodged a strong protest to the London government. They have publicly promised that they will never move our colony. I think the British are not yet on this issue. Breach of contract!" said Foreign Secretary Robinson
"But, you also know that the British promises are just like farting. Even if they give up their ambitions for our colony, we may still be trapped in the next cooperation!
Pit teammates have become a habit of John Bull, I don't think they will change for us! "The Secretary of the Army Dan Gott said depressed.
"Well, Mr. Dan Gott! This is just your guess. Now we have no choice. If we don't cooperate with the British, our power in Southeast Asia is simply not enough to suppress this rebellion!
Now we have no choice but to be optimistic! As long as our frontline officers and soldiers increase their vigilance, they will not be so easily trapped!
You believe that our frontline officers and soldiers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will keep an eye on the British. Now the British still need us. They will not do too much! "Prime Minister Daan comforted.
That's right, the British Empire does need the Dutch to wave their flags. In modern times, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has declined in terms of national power, and has degraded into a third-rate country in terms of militarily, but diplomacy has not yet deteriorated.
During the First World War, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was able to maintain its neutrality in the two camps by relying on their diplomatic means, while maintaining good diplomatic relations with the Allies and the Allies.
Even in the old colonial countries, the Americans have robbed the Spanish of the Philippines, but they have not attacked Indonesia. The Japanese also looked at Indonesia and dared not do it directly. It was also the Dutch who used diplomatic means to gain support from European countries. Can be preserved.
In this regard, the Portuguese and Dutch did very well, but Portugal directly chose to defect to the British because of its geographical location. But the Dutch can't. They are also influenced by France and Germany. Standing in open teams is too dangerous for them.
When the Dutch government made this decision, it didn’t know that the situation in Southeast Asia had taken a turn for the worse. The so-called absolute advantage of the British no longer existed, so they needed to cooperate with them, otherwise the arrogant Mr. Churchill would still choose to go it alone. !
We must know that Japan was the first country to Westernize, and it had fought with the Russians for two or three years, and sent people to the Western Front. How could they not understand the characteristics of the Western military?
Knowing the tradition of the Western military’s Christmas truce for the holidays, they of course have to make use of it, and a Christmas counteroffensive plan has been released.
However, the Japanese do not think that they can achieve much success. After all, on the battlefield, everyone always has to be guarded, so the so-called counterattack is only tentative.
Otherwise, maybe Mr. Churchill has become a prisoner. In this great counterattack, Singapore was once in half.
These are minor problems. The British army who reacted to it immediately launched a counterattack and dared to destroy them for Christmas Eve. The furious British soldiers exploded with twelve points of combat effectiveness and defeated the rebels.
Of course, this was only a strong area, and the weak areas were killed by the rebels in the first round. For example, the Australian and New Zealand divisions in Borneo were almost wiped out.
In addition, it was the revolutionaries lurking in the city who took the opportunity to burn down a large amount of British military strategic materials, which directly delayed the process of the British counter-insurgency.
The battle began to tilt in a direction that was not conducive to the British. The burnt-out Mr. Churchill decisively chose to conceal the loss, and many battles were replaced or made out of nothing.
Defeat becomes victory. Annihilating the enemy a hundred changes to annihilating a thousand. Through these "campaigns" created, the losses of the troops are successfully amortized. After a series of actions, he just flattened the loss.
To complete this plan, the cooperation of colonial officials is certainly not enough, and it is very easy for the London government to know the truth.
In order to avoid this kind of situation, Mr. Churchill chose to cut first and then play, and all these so-called "brilliant results" were sent out, which directly caused the London government to ride the tiger.
Once it was discovered by the people that the war report was falsified, Mr. Churchill and the colonial officials would definitely not be able to escape. Similarly, the people would not let the cabinet go. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was pulled into the water without knowing it.
When they discovered the problem, the news had already been sent out, and it was also sent out by Mr. Churchill as a cabinet minister!
"Your Excellency, what should we do now? We are all pitted by the Churchill. Once the news leaks, the angry people will probably tear us up!" Chamberlain asked with a wry smile
"Huh! He's looking for death, don't think it will be done by dragging us down! Even if we help to cover up this matter, what will happen to the subsequent battle? If the rebellion cannot be put down, sooner or later, he will help him. Does he want Promote the Anglo-Japanese War?" Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said angrily
Everyone was shocked. In order to get rid of the political crisis, Mr. Churchill could really do this kind of thing. Don't talk about Churchill, if you sit in different places, you can do it too!
Who makes the British Empire of this age strong? Behind the powerful ~EbookFREE.me~, many crises have been covered up, and politicians like them are lost in it.
Although the Japanese threat theory, the French threat theory, the Bulgarian threat theory, and the Russian threat theory are being promoted in China, who really puts them in the eyes?
"Your Excellency, we must not let this happen. We must limit Churchill's rights. Once the war between the two countries is provoked and cannot be ended in a short time, the world situation will become uncontrollable!
We still have many enemies, although none of them should be a cause for concern. If we unite, we will suffer too! "Foreign Secretary Attlee said solemnly
"Well, I decided to reorganize the cabinet. Mr. Churchill will let him stay in Southeast Asia to quell the rebellion. The cabinet can add a new member. What good candidates do you have?" Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said cautiously
Now that the two sides had torn their skins, Stanley would naturally not be polite. Now that he kicked Mr. Churchill out of the cabinet at this time, he would never dare to make trouble.
It was originally that he crossed the line, and punishment is inevitable. Political struggles rarely smash to the end. Everyone's buttocks are not clean. Once the lid is lifted, everyone will not be well.
Of course, after suffering this loss, Prime Minister Stanley must retaliate. Even the supporters of Churchill in the party cannot say anything on this issue.
"Your Excellency, how about letting Liberal Regina McKenna into the cabinet? At this time we need to win over our allies and share the pressure together!" Foreign Secretary Attlee proposed
(Remarks: Regina McKenna Liberal, former Chancellor of the Exchequer)
"Will he agree? We must know that we have wooed him before, but he rejected it. It is not easy to woo him at this time!" Prime Minister Stanley shook his head and said
