"Your Majesty, there is a good news from the African theater. On September 28, 1940, our army captured Cape Town. The Cape of Good Hope is already in our bag!" Chief of Staff Christoph said with joy.
First, the Suez Canal was lost, and now the Cape of Good Hope is about to be lost again. The British had to make a detour to enter the Asian colonies.
"Well, this is indeed good news, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can make efforts!" Little Ferdinand said with a smile
"Your Majesty, the Japanese have always insisted on joining the Holy League. The Tokyo government has announced that if we do not agree to their request, they will continue to be neutral!" Foreign Minister Coleman frowned and said
"Oh, there is such a thing? But can the Tokyo government really call the shots?" Little Ferdinand asked in surprise
Everyone laughed. Now the cabinet government is no longer in charge of Japan's political situation. Both the Navy and the War Department have more say than them.
disagree?
Do you know the tradition of the following grams?
Regardless of whether the Tokyo government agrees, as long as the people underneath fight, they can only pinch their noses to recognize it.
At this time, the British had already emptied the main force of the Far East Fleet, and the British Asian colonies had become a delicious bait. As long as someone encouraged them, they would not be afraid that the Japanese would not take the bait.
……
The Cape of Good Hope was lost, and the impact was huge. Almost all countries were not optimistic that the British could win this war.
Berne
The Swiss Federal Government is undergoing a fierce quarrel. At this time, the main battle group has already gained the upper hand. In the face of reality, the main group has begun to choose to compromise.
Due to the lack of raw materials in the factory, most of the domestic factories in Switzerland have closed down, and the rest is just barely supporting.
A large number of unemployed people flooded the streets of Berne. The protesters have blocked the government building and demanded that the government solve the problem.
If it was just this, the Swiss government would not be unable to sustain it. The most important thing is the food issue. Since the Holy League began to block Switzerland, they can only survive by consuming the food reserves.
Switzerland is a mountainous and plateau country with limited food production. It is completely impossible to be self-sufficient.
They can still insist that there is no factory. As long as the government can guarantee the normal distribution of relief food, it will not cause major problems, but without food, people will soon starve to death.
Dead Daoist friends do not die poor Dao, looking at the dwindling food reserves, the main faction has to change to the main battle faction, their bottom line is lower and lower.
On October 7, 1940, after a new round of negotiations, the parties reached an agreement. The Swiss government abandoned its neutral position and announced its membership in the Holy League.
The life of the Germans was even more difficult, and another front was added. Despite the limited national power of the Swiss, they still contained two or three hundred thousand German troops.
This is undoubtedly fatal to the Germans. Don’t look at the fact that the European continent is not too fierce. It’s just that compared with the First World War, there are still as many as thousands and tens of thousands of casualties every day.
Hundreds of thousands of troops oppose each other, so why do you have to kill a hundred and eighty people every day? Otherwise, are you embarrassed to say that this is a war?
Don’t look at this inconspicuous number. This is just the result of a small-scale battle between the two sides. Once a war breaks out, the number of casualties will increase dramatically.
Sofia
Ferdinand is playing Go with Ferdinand, as if the Swiss joining is not worth mentioning, and it did not affect him at all.
Little Ferdinand left a son and smiled slightly: "Father, this war is about to end, I am going to close the net!"
"Haha..."
Ferdinand laughed.
"This is just the beginning. War is for politics. It is only a means, not an end. The establishment of a new international order will be the real test for you!"
Little Ferdinand inherited his ideas, all like to use his power to suppress others upright, and seldom play with risks.
"Father, the international order after the war, haven't you already determined it long ago?" Little Ferdinand said depressedly
The situation has always been under control, but Ferdinand has no sense of accomplishment. As early as ten years ago, all this was doomed. He was only the executor of this plan.
"No! The international order I am going to establish is just a big framework, and you need to fill in the specific rules. These tasks are not so easy!" Ferdinand shook his head and said
He can't say that it is for laziness, so he will leave the most troublesome thing to his son, right? This is really not in line with his image as a great emperor.
Since he abdicated and got rid of the complicated government affairs, his life has become corrupt. He is eating, drinking and having fun every day, but now he is more and more energetic.
"Okay father, I know what to do!" Little Ferdinand shrugged and said
As a qualified emperor, his mental qualities have been trained long ago. It is impossible to run to death for such a little depression.
The Swiss have not been able to resist the pressure of the Holy Alliance. Now the pressure on the four countries of Portugal, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden is great.
The submarines of the Holy League are so close to their doorstep that the Atlantic route is already in crisis, and the foreign trade volume of the four countries is shrinking rapidly.
Fortunately for the three countries of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, despite the lack of industrial raw materials, everyone complements each other and there is enough food.
The Portuguese are truly tragedy. Due to the increased risks of maritime transportation, not only are industrial raw materials insufficient, but domestic food prices have doubled.
Even if the price has skyrocketed, the biggest problem is that money cannot buy goods. Even if the gap in industrial raw materials cannot be replenished, the gap in grain cannot be replenished.
The King of Portugal does not care about the matter. As a model monarch of constitutional monarchy, this issue is naturally the government's turn to deal with.
The Portuguese government has always been chasing with the British, which embarrassed them at this time. They are willing to join the pan-international alliance led by the British, but they dare not do it.
Didn’t I see that the kingdom of Spain next door has joined the Holy Alliance? At this time, you are allies with the British. It is estimated that it will not be long before Portugal will become part of Spain again.
If they join the Holy League, it is not in their interest. The Portuguese Kingdom has been dependent on the British in many ways with its pro-British policy.
It didn't take long for the Portuguese to hesitate, but they couldn't help delaying time.
On October 21, 1940, the Holy League issued the "Atlantic Banning Order." All ships without a permit issued by the Holy League are regarded as illegal ships and the Holy League navy can directly sink.
Such an overbearing decree can appear at this time. If there is a change in time, international public opinion would have been fried.
Now the European continent is divided into two camps, and the remaining neutral countries, even if they have opinions, do not have the guts to jump out at this time.
Portugal is tragedy. They are also blocked. The Passport of the Holy League is not so easy to obtain. Now they are given only three passes.
Based on these three ships, it is estimated that half of the Portuguese people will be hungry. Does this still need a choice?
On October 27, 1940, under the pressure of the Holy League, the Portuguese government succumbed, and the political pressure of the London government increased again.
Don’t think that a small country like Portugal has limited military contributions, and that they are useless. In politics, Portugal's influence is not small.
For example, in South America, after the Kingdom of Portugal fell to the Holy Alliance, the confidence of the governments of the British in winning the war fell again.
Many countries are thinking about the future. Everyone followed the British for profit, or was forced to make this decision because of military pressure from the Royal Navy.
The current situation on the European continent is very unfavorable to the British, especially the British have lost their air superiority in the British Isles and get bombed every day.
Many people are speculating about the ending of this war for the British. This is not so friendly to the countries that have joined the Pan-International Front.
If the British are defeated, how should they deal with the aftermath? This is a serious question.
I can't always come to the South American coalition and the European coalition PK? The result of such a competition is doomed, and no one wants to try.
One wave after another has not settled.
On November 11, 1940, the Japanese navy attacked Singapore. The Anglo-Japanese War broke out and the world war was once again brought to a climax.
London
Mr. Churchill didn’t know how many vases had been dropped recently, and bad news followed one after another, and he didn’t give him time to react.
The Royal Air Force accumulated its wealth for several months and launched a counterattack against the enemy. The result was first victory and then defeat. In the end, the army was almost wiped out.
That's all. Anyway, they can't win. The enemy is determined to consume, and can use thousands of fighters as cannon fodder to lure them into fools. It is difficult to avoid them.
Then the Bulgarian air force deployed fighter planes along the African continent, and the Royal Navy had to retreat. The planes were worthless and warships were very expensive.
Originally they wanted to take advantage of the navy to bring down the Bulgarians, but in reality they are fast. The Bulgarian navy dared to come out for a decisive battle, but the Royal Navy did not dare to fight.
At least within the effective coverage of the Bulgarian Air Force, the British dare not take risks. If they lose, they will be dead.
The military defeat has exacerbated the political crisis. In addition to the pressure exerted by the Holy League in Switzerland and Portugal, the unfavorable performance of the British on the battlefield is the main reason for this.
Churchill said cautiously: "Gentlemen, just now the Japanese attacked Singapore and our largest military port in the Far East has become a ruin.
Two battleships and a light aircraft carrier sank directly. A total of 23 warships of various sizes were sunk, with more than 3,000 casualties and countless material losses!
The British Empire has reached its most dangerous moment. The continuous defeats on the European battlefield have caused bad results.
Mr. Attlee, I want to know what your Ministry of Foreign Affairs is doing lately? Why have so many great changes happened recently, Switzerland, Portugal, Japan, who is next? "
"Prime Minister, the Japanese did not declare the war, it was just a separate action by the Japanese navy. They did not get the support of the Japanese government, and even the Holy Alliance did not accept their participation!" Foreign Minister Attlee said with a haggard face.
"Mr. Attlee, such an explanation has no value. Whether the Japanese government supports it or not, this war has already broken out. It is impossible for us to turn a blind eye to such a large loss!" The Minister of State for Affairs said with a frown.
"This world has always spoken by power. Recently, we have failed one after another on the battlefield. The British Empire has accumulated a hundred years of prestige.
Under this background, the work of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is naturally not well done. No one wants to stand on the side of the loser, and we cannot offer more generous terms than the Bulgarians! "Attlee said with a sneer
The truth is unacceptable, and everyone's complexion becomes ashen. Bulgaria can make any promises, it is based on the generosity of others, they can not learn.
The colonies of the Holy Alliance countries can’t compare to them~EbookFREE.me~ I can’t tell you to carve up the homelands of the Holy Alliance countries. Attlee doesn’t mind such a promise. The problem is that no one dares to ask for it!
If the enemy cannot be defeated, is it necessary for the so-called plan to divide the spoils? A bad check, you must also want to be a check!
"Mr. Attlee is right. Unless things are turned around on the battlefield, it will not be long before Denmark, Norway, and Sweden will join the Holy Alliance.
Not to mention that we won this war, whether we can keep our homeland is a question! "The chancellor frowned and said
This is not a problem of one plus one equals two. Politically, the European countries are on their opposite sides, and the nightmare that the British Empire is most worried about will become a reality.
Except for the Germans who have already boarded the ship and cannot get off, the Pan International Front Alliance is likely to fall apart immediately.
As long as the Holy League can promise to let the past go and ensure the interests of all countries, the governments of the American countries will abandon them without hesitation.
It is hard to share wealth and wealth, and it is even harder to share adversity!
Without the help of these little brothers, the British Empire will really be over. There may be a master who dares to single out the world, but there is absolutely no British Commonwealth in it.
