Vol 4 Chapter 122: , Open up a new front

The final result is naturally not what Valikte expected. Although the Anglo-French coalition now has an absolute advantage in military strength, it may not be able to win the battle if there are too many people! &1t;/
The battle on the Western Front came to a stalemate again. There were many Anglo-French allied troops and the Germans were strong in combat. The two sides still fought hard and it was impossible to tell the winner in the short term. &1t;/
In order to break this situation, Britain and France naturally set their sights on other places. Their first reaction was to fool the Russians. As long as Russia is willing, now the Allies will definitely bear the Third Front War. &1t;/
Unfortunately, the Tsarist government has just launched an internal struggle. Is Nicholas II busy with the aftermath? No matter how the British and French fudge, it is impossible to use large-scale foreign troops before the end of the Russian internal struggle! &1t;/
Then they surrendered their gazes to the southern front. As a result, the two sides are playing in full swing, and there is no way to tell the winner in a short time! &1t;/
Valikot's sudden proposal naturally attracted the attention of the British and French governments. After calculating, they are now fighting the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but as long as Austro-Hungary is over, can the Germans still hold on? &1t;/
As a result, Valikote ushered in unexpected gains. Britain and France decided to increase their troops by 100,000 to cooperate with him. In order to keep the war dominance, Valikte had to ask for domestic help again. &1t;/
……&1t;/
"General Valicotte now asks for support, what does the General Staff plan?" Ferdinand asked &1t;/
The acting chief of the general staff Krossf replied confidently: "Your Majesty, we plan to draw eight infantry divisions and two heavy artillery brigades from the newly formed volunteer army to form a reinforcement force with a total strength of approximately 140,000. In addition, the air force will also be in force. The establishment of an airport in northern Italy threatens Austria and the Munich area of ​​Germany!"&1t;/
Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction. The plan of the General Staff is still very reliable. There are about 170,000 troops in Valikote's hands that can be invested in the Austrian attack, plus 200,000 troops reinforced by Britain and France. , Now the country has sent another 140,000 troops, the total strength has reached 510,000. &1t;/
This is enough to start a mid-scale general battle. You must know that Britain and France did not make up the colonial forces this time. In order to break the deadlock as soon as possible, they also laid down the capital. They were all elite troops directly drawn from the Western Front! &1t;/
Of course, this is also the fact that they have sufficient troops on the western front. Even if there are as many as three to four hundred thousand casualties every month, they can scream, and there is no pressure to take out a mere 200,000 troops! &1t;/
Ferdinand knew that now the Allies were entangled again. In the face of the over 500,000 coalition forces from the Allies, where should they deploy their troops to deal with it? &1t;/
Opening up a front is not a simple question. In addition to the army, the most important thing is the consumption of materials! This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Allies! &1t;/
If another Italian front is added, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely be uncomfortable, and the Germans will be very uncomfortable. The army may find a way to get it together, but the strategic materials will be in big trouble! &1t;/
Of course, this is what Hindenburg should consider, and it has little to do with him. &1t;/
……&1t;/
After contemplating for a while, Ferdinand said with deep feeling: "Well, let's do it this way. This world war has been going on for too long, and it has also had a very big impact on our domestic economy. End this soon. A war, this is not a good thing for us!"&1t;/
It is of course a good thing for Bulgaria to end the war as soon as possible. After all, we have basically got everything we should get now, and we can also trade after the war if we haven't got it yet. &1t;/
At the same time, the war also successfully weakened competitors, such as Italy and Austria-Hungary, the two difficult brothers, most of them were removed from the powers after the war. &1t;/
The three countries of Britain, France and Russia have also been hit hard to varying degrees. In the next 20 years, everyone will lick their wounds and will no longer be able to suppress the exhibition in Bulgaria! &1t;/
After eating and drinking, the enemy is dead, naturally there is no need to continue fighting! &1t;/
If the fight continues, it is estimated that the Americans will jump out and pick peaches. Once this war cannot be won in a short time, the Americans will definitely not refuse to join the war between Britain and France, and will have to pay a big price to win them over. &1t;/
The cake is so big, if there is one more person, everyone else will naturally only take one less. Obviously, this is not something Ferdinand can bear. &1t;/
As for later generations, the Americans were put together by Britain and France, and they did not benefit from the First World War. This is just to fool ordinary people out. Ferdinand would not believe it anyway! &1t;/
Standing in his current position, he realized how amazing the Americans had gained in World War I, and even the combined benefits of Britain and France were less than half of theirs! &1t;/
First, through this war, the Americans increased their centralization. Before the outbreak of World War I, the federal system of the United States, although not a mess, was actually not much better. &1t;/
However, after the end of World War I, the United States was really integrated, the federal government's influence on the local level increased, and domestic capitalists also realized the power of unity, the national centripetal force was greatly enhanced, and the possibility of national division was eliminated. , The road of American hegemony has begun. &1t;/
Secondly, it established the status of the United States as a major power in the military. In particular, at the Washington Conference, the United States achieved the world’s first naval tonnage equal to that of the British. With the shoulders of the British, it has greatly increased its international influence! &1t;/
Finally, it is the economic gain. Not only did it get rid of European capital’s control of the domestic economy, it also changed from a debtor country to a creditor country, and completed the penetration of the European Big 6 through economic means, which is also the second world The explosion of the war planted the seeds~EbookFREE.me~ Compared with these gains, the American gains in the colonies are really nothing, but even if all the colonies of the Allies are added up, they cannot be the hegemon of the world. The foundation is on par! &1t;/
It is these hidden gains that are the reason why Ferdinand does everything possible to prevent the Americans from participating in the war. &1t;/
In any case, as long as the Americans did not participate in this world war, the US government would not be able to ramp up its military investment like in history. At least the congressional barrier would not pass! &1t;/
Without the frenzied investment in the military, the United States would not be able to achieve the same status as the British after the war, and even its international status would not be much improved. This would be regarded as a comprehensive restriction on the development of the United States. &1t;/
It not only contained the improvement of American hard power, but also hit the improvement of their soft power. After the war, they also faced the full suppression of the British. Anyway, there was a lot of fun behind it! &1t;/
Who would let them expand the navy now is just like dumping dumplings. After the end of the world war, their naval tonnage will probably be about the same as that of John Bull. Strike the second has always been the national policy of the cow! &1t;/
In history, after World War I, Britain and the United States almost fought for the Canadian issue, but in the end there was a little accident, and John Bull had no choice but to make concessions. &1t;/
Not to mention this time and space. John Bull’s strength has been preserved more perfect, and there is the support of the two countries, there is no need for them to recognize the Americans! &1t;/
