Vol 5 Chapter 103: No one believes

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Acupoint Chinese), the fastest update! No ads !? "Your Majesty, the Persian Military Region Command sent an urgent call.
On Christmas Eve, the Afghan government army took the opportunity to sneak attack on the British Overwatch team station.
This campaign caused at least 5,000 British casualties, and more than 3,000 people were captured, including British Supreme Commander General Winston.
The next day, the Afghan National Army launched a comprehensive counterattack. Due to the paralysis of the command system, the Indian colonial division without the supervision of the clan quickly collapsed, and the British Afghan Expeditionary Force was almost wiped out! Chief of Staff Christopher said cautiously
The British battlefield in Afghanistan will be defeated. Ferdinand has no doubt. The empire's grave can not be settled by only 20 Indian divisions. Otherwise, it would not seem to be too wasteful for the later Soviet Union and the United States?
However, the defeat was so neat, and Ferdinand was a little surprised. Didn't the British have the upper hand before, how could it be a sudden defeat?
Victory or defeat is a routine thing for soldiers, and defeat is also a defeat. Anyway, there are not many differences in India, that is, there are many people. Even if twenty additional infantry divisions are formed, it is easy.
It is estimated that for the London government, even if the Indian colonial army's annihilation has not brought about the consequences, it will not be comparable to the casualties of the thousands of governors, which will cause them headaches!
"Is the news accurate? Is Britain so vulnerable to sneak attacks?" Ferdinand asked incredulously
"His Majesty, the Britons at Christmas relaxed their vigilance, thinking that Afghanistan, like Continental Europe, would not launch an attack on this day!" Christopher explained
"It's that simple?" Ferdinand asked incredulously
"Your Majesty, from the intelligence we have gathered, it is indeed the case. On Christmas Day, the British soldiers were on holiday, and the Indian division responsible for guarding the security of the camp, had nowhere to go without supervision.
When the Afghan army launched the attack, they did not organize effective resistance at all. We analyzed that the high-ranking officers of the Indian division were on vacation, and the rest did not have the power to command the entire army. Christoph explained
Ferdinand nodded, this weakness is common to all European troops, it is a European practice to stop the Christmas Eve. Even during the World War, the armies of all countries will cease war on this day.
Some soldiers even drank too much, fainted and ran to the opposite side to celebrate Christmas, and were released back the next day.
In the battlefield in Ypres, Belgium, the British and German armies also played football together.
Captain Hamilton, commander of the British Royal Warwickshire Regiment, also held a historic "meeting" with officers of the same ranks as the German forces.
The two sides agreed on a 48-hour truce, and the soldiers stepped out of the trenches and sang Christmas carols together.
The Germans took out Fitz candles, cakes and cigars, and the British took out Christmas puddings to exchange them. The two sides also used tin cans for football and digging trenches for picks for goal posts.
This is not only the case on the western front, but the east is no exception. On Christmas 1916, the scarce supplies of the Austro-Hungarian Klos regiment Wiedinstein led the entire regiment to the Bulgarian army for Christmas. Section.
Such examples do not happen too much on the European continent, and even Ferdinand cannot change this tradition.
This time the British were unlucky. They obeyed the rules. The Afghans on the opposite side did not obey the rules. Cultural differences made it unnecessary for the Afghan army to spend Christmas.
"Well, is there news in the Southeast Asian battlefield?" Ferdinand asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, our intelligence in Southeast Asia is too weak, and no news has been passed back, but the intelligence returned by the British to London is everything!" Christopher said
"No, the Afghans all know to seize this opportunity to counterattack, don't the Revolutionary Parties in Southeast Asia know?
Even if they are idiots, the Japanese know it? If not used, is this still the style of the Japanese? Ferdinand analysis
Everyone's face changed slightly, and this happened for two reasons:
1. Bulgaria's intelligence system in London was exposed, and false news came back;
2. The British army suffered heavy casualties, and frontline British officers concealed the truth from the country.
Obviously it cannot be the first case. Even if the Bulgarian intelligence organization is exposed, the British will use it even if they do not directly arrest people. At the critical moment, they will pass a fake news pit to Bulgaria. .
As long as the intelligence system is not exposed, what happened to the British in Southeast Asia, one day before the other and one day later, it does not matter to Bulgaria.
"Your Majesty, are we able to deal with Mindanao now? The battle above is about to come to an end. The religious forces have won, and the revolutionaries are going to be wiped out!" Colonial Minister Donald proposed
Bulgaria's influence in Southeast Asia is very small. Except for Mindanao, the remaining Doudou Islands are not worth mentioning.
The war is now raging in Southeast Asia, and Mindanao is no exception, except that other areas are anti-colonial uprisings, and here are anti-religious uprisings.
The benefits of supporting agents have emerged, and in this chaos Bulgaria can do it alone, although only temporarily.
"Don't worry, maybe we can put in a batch of smuggled arms and let them continue to fight, we are not convenient to come forward now, after all, we sold the local government to them as agreed!" Ferdinand shook his head and said
No one can stand without faith, no industry can rise without faith, and no country can decline without faith!
For a long time in the future, Bulgaria will not be able to directly rule the colonies in Southeast Asia. If you send several officials to establish a colonial government, it is better to sell the power and let the local people autonomy.
At least the self-government government can help attract hatred. Bulgaria did not directly rule the locality. Even if there was a rebellion, they were also against the self-government government.
I really want the Revolutionary Party to become bigger. It is nothing more than changing an agent. Can they refuse Bulgaria's good intentions?
For the study of human nature, Ferdinand has read many articles. Perhaps these revolutionaries are still really bleeding their heads, and once they become rulers, the situation changes.
People's hearts are corroded by interests, and they will begin to weigh the advantages and disadvantages. If the territory is large enough, the population is large enough, and the industrial base is laid down, then they will definitely establish the country independently.
However, there were no such monsters on the Bulgarian colonies. A small Mindanao island, with a population of just over two million people, industry equal to zero, and an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers.
The dream of independence from Bulgaria ’s colonial rule and the founding of a country can be imagined, but it cannot be done. In the age of imperialism, there was no strength, either the occupation of this power or the slavery of that power.
Ferdinand is not worried about jumping, and for his own benefit, these people will make the most correct choice.
...
Kingdom of the Netherlands
Since the outbreak of the Indonesian rebellion, the Dutch government has not lived comfortably for a few days, watching the increasing number of casualties, they are not happy.
Even with the help of the Japanese, the pressure in the country is still increasing. The marriage between the Netherlands and the Netherlands has shifted the public's attention. This is only short-term. Once the front line is defeated, the crisis will still be triggered!
"Bulgarians are not interested in our proposal, and they now undoubtedly continue to expand in Southeast Asia!" Said Robinson, the Dutch foreign minister, with a grin.
"Well, this is also what we expected. We have been divided up with Britain and France in Southeast Asia. At this time, even if Bulgarians step in, there is no goal of expansion.
Bulgarians cannot have a war with Britain and France for Southeast Asia, which is not enough to make them risky.
The two royal families have just married, and it is impossible for the Bulgarian government to strike their king's face against us. At least for decades, they will not be able to fight against our colony!
This rebellion is different from the past, with Japanese support behind the scenes. It is not so simple to calm down. At present, the price we can pay is not enough to make them tempted! "The Dutch Prime Minister Daan sighed (can't translate it ??)
"If Bulgarians don't want to step in, then we will continue to work with the British?
Now that the rebels have begun to unite, then at least half of our colonies need to fight against the British!
This situation is too bad, I doubt what will happen in the next battle! Secretary of the Army Dan Gott said depressedly
The most depressing thing in the world is undoubtedly that you know you have a pit in front, so you still have to jump in!
"Hi guys, the situation may not be as bad as you think. We have protested strongly to the London government. They have publicly promised that they will never touch our colony. I do n’t think the British are on this issue. Breach of contract! "Said Foreign Minister Robinson
"However, you also know that the British have the same promise as farting. Even if they give up their ambitions for our colony, we may still be pitted in the next cooperation!
Pit teammates have become the habit of John Bull, I don't think they will change for us! Secretary of the Army Dan Gott said depressedly
"Well, Mr. Dan Gott! This is just a speculation from you. Now we have no choice. If we don't cooperate with the British, our strength in Southeast Asia will not be enough to suppress this rebellion!
Now we have no choice but to be optimistic! As long as our frontline officers and men are more vigilant, it will not be so easy to get caught!
Do you believe that our officers and soldiers on the front lines will stare at the British? The British still need us, and they will not do too much! Prime Minister Daan comforted
That's right, the British Empire now still needs the Dutch to shake their flags. In modern times, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has declined in national strength, and it has even degraded into a third-rate country, but it has not degraded diplomatically.
During the First World War, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was able to maintain neutrality between the two camps, relying on their diplomatic means, while maintaining good diplomatic relations with allies and allies.
Even after the decline of the old colonial countries, the Americans robbed the Spanish of the Philippines but did not start with Indonesia; the Japanese also looked at Indonesia with indifference and did not dare to act directly. It was also because the Dutch relied on diplomatic means to obtain support from European countries. Preserved.
In this regard, the Portuguese and the Dutch did very well, but because of their geographical location, Portugal directly chose to join the British. The Dutch did not. They were also influenced by France and Germany. Opening up their teams was too threatening for them.
When the Dutch government made this decision, it was not known that the situation in Southeast Asia had taken a turn for the worse, and the so-called absolute strength advantage of the British had ceased to exist, so they needed to cooperate with them, otherwise the arrogant Churchill would choose to go it alone !!
We need to know that Japan was the earliest westernized country. After two or three years of fighting with the Russians and sending people to the Western Front, they could not understand the characteristics of Western troops.
Knowing the tradition of the Western Armed Forces to cease the Christmas holiday, of course, they must take advantage of it, and a Christmas counterattack plan was released.
However, the Japanese do not think that they can achieve much of a war result. After all, everyone must always take precautions on the battlefield, so the so-called counterattack is only tentative.
Otherwise, Mr. Churchill may have become a captive. In this counterattack, Singapore was once half occupied.
These were minor problems. The British troops that came over immediately responded and dared to destroy them for Christmas Eve. The furious British soldiers broke out with 12 points of fighting power and defeated the rebels.
Of course, this is only an area with strong forces, and an area with weak forces was killed by the rebels in the first round. For example, the Australian and New Zealand divisions of Borneo were almost annihilated.
In addition, the revolutionaries lurking in the cities took the opportunity to burn a lot of strategic materials of the British army, which directly delayed the process of the British insurgency.
The war situation began to tilt in a direction that was not conducive to the British, and Mr. Churchill, a scorched man, decisively chose to conceal his losses, and carried out many battles in an attempt to replace the pillars or to make a loss.
Defeat into victory, defeating the enemy by one hundred and destroying the enemy by one thousand. Through these "battles" created, the army's losses were successfully amortized. After a series of actions, the losses were flattened out.
To complete this plan, the cooperation of colonial officials is definitely not enough, and the London government wants to know the truth very easily.
In order to avoid this situation, Mr. Churchill chose to cut first and then play, and sent all these so-called "brilliant results" directly to the London government.
Once the people found out that the war report was fake, Mr. Churchill and the colonial officials would definitely not be able to run away, and the people would not let the cabinet go. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was pulled down without any knowledge.
By the time they discovered the problem, the news had already been posted, and it had been issued by Mr Churchill as Minister of Cabinet!
"Her Prime Minister, what do you do now? We are all pitted by Churchill's bastard. Once the news leaks, the angry people are expected to tear us!" Chamberlain asked with a grin.
"Huh! He's looking for death. I don't think it's over to drag us into the water! Even if we help cover this up, what will happen in the next battle? If we can't calm down the rebellion, we will wear it sooner or later. Does he want Provoked the British-Japanese War? "Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said angrily
Everyone was shocked that in order to get out of the political crisis, Mr. Churchill really did this. Don't say Churchill, if you are sitting there, you can do it!
Who made the British Empire strong in this era? Behind the mighty, UU reading www. uukanshu.com has covered many crises, and these politicians have also been lost in them.
Although the Japanese threat theory, the French threat theory, the Bulgarian threat theory, and the Russian threat theory are being publicized in China, who really takes them seriously?
"The Prime Minister, we must not let this happen. We must limit Churchill's rights. Once the two countries' war is provoked and cannot be ended in a short time, the world situation will become uncontrollable!
There are many more enemies, although each one is not a concern, if we unite, we will still be uncomfortable! Foreign Minister Edley said solemnly
"Well, I decided to reorganize the cabinet, and Mr. Churchill will let him stay in the southeast to rebel. The cabinet can add another new member. What good candidates do you have?" Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said cautiously
Now that both sides have torn their skins, Stanley will naturally not be polite, and now that Mr. Churchill is kicked out of the cabinet at this time, he is absolutely afraid to make trouble.
He was already over the line, and punishment was inevitable. Political struggles rarely succumbed to the end. Everyone's buttocks were not clean. Once the cover was opened, everyone would be better off.
Of course, after suffering this loss, Prime Minister Stanley must retaliate. Even supporters of the party Churchill cannot say anything on this issue.
"His Prime Minister, let Liberal Regina McKenna enter the cabinet. Now we need to draw allies together to share the pressure!" Foreign Minister Edley suggested
(Remarks: Regina McKenna Liberal, Former British Chancellor of the Exchequer)
"Will he agree? We know that we have drawn him before, but he refused it. Now I'm afraid it's not easy to draw him now!" Prime Minister Stanley shook his head and said
