Vol 6 Chapter 16: , Is it rubbish? Or a smart strategy?

Genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! With the restoration of William III, the smell of gunpowder in the world is getting stronger and stronger. From Europe to Asia, to the Americas, the situation is all Tensed.
The Eastern European Union and the Western European Union oppose each other, and everyone is worried that it will once again evolve into the situation of the First World War.
However, only high-level officials know that the current international situation is completely different from that of World War I, even though Britain and Bulgaria are strategically incompatible.
But there is still a long way to go from war. Bulgaria wants to continue farming and is not interested in military adventures. British anti-warism is on the rise.
After the establishment of the two major alliances, the arms race eased. After all, after the London Arms Treaty expired, Britain and Bulgaria each launched a dozen battleships, and there were still a large number of warships under construction on the berth.
The total tonnage of the Bulgarian Navy has been expanded to 770,000 tons. When the shipbuilding plan is completed, the total tonnage will exceed 1.5 million tons.
The navy began to explode in 1934, and it doubled in just three years. After this round of arms race, there were only two players left: Britain and Bulgaria.
Other countries have fallen behind. In fact, the British are a bit unable to hold it. By 1940, the total tonnage of the Bulgarian navy will reach 1.5 million tons, and the Royal Navy will only reach 2 million tons.
The gap between the two sides is constantly narrowing, and the standards of the two powers can no longer continue unless John Bull learns from the Japanese and directly modifies warships to reduce the cost of military expansion.
In fact, they are already doing it, but John Bull is not Japanese after all. They just modified a few smaller warships, and they don't look down on the junk.
If nothing else, by 1940, the Japanese Navy will exceed one million tons, making it the world's third naval power.
The ambitions of the Japanese are no longer able to bear it. The two major European alliances oppose each other, and the shackles that bound them no longer exist. The history of East Asia seems to have returned to the original point again.
……(For safety, omitted)
On the European continent, apart from the discomfort of the French surrounded by the Western European League, the Kingdom of Poland, sandwiched between the two major alliances, is really embarrassed.
They wanted to join the Eastern European Union, but Austria-Hungary and Western Russia disagreed. Bulgaria also didn't like them. Who made them swear sovereignty over Ukraine?
Is this a joke? Do you think that politics is to play family, in order to gain the support of the people, what kind of slogans can be shouted?
The Eastern European Union does not want them, and the Western European Union also does not welcome them. The Germans strongly oppose their joining. The reason is that it is easy to intensify the conflict between the two major alliances.
This time John Bull also did not support them. Obviously, he was frightened by their ability to pull hatred. In such a short period of time, he could turn all his neighbors into enemies. It is not easy to have no ability. Do it.
Sandwich biscuits are often the most tragic, especially the sandwich biscuits that have no strength. The insightful people of the Kingdom of Poland have already realized the danger.
Unfortunately, it was not their turn to speak. Even the king was tossed by the radical groups and lost his temper. It is said that the king of Orleans was ready to resign.
Later, the French government intervened and wanted the Kingdom of Poland to contain the Germans, so that His Majesty the King reluctantly remained in office.
However, I'm not talking about the affairs of the New Polish Kingdom anymore, and I don't even show up in public once a year.
First, they wanted to restore the king election system, and then they wanted to take the king over. The government's remarks were exaggerated one by one, and the king who was born in the Orleans family had no confidence.
Seeing the changing international situation, Ferdinand sighed.
If you don't die, you won't die. At this time, the French still have the ability to avoid large-scale wars. Before Germany completes the integration, give them a shot and everything is done.
The big deal is to exempt major states from war reparations, use Germany's internal contradictions, win them to be neutral, and arrest the German central government.
How can a central government with only four levels of strength in Germany be the opponent of the French?
Even with the addition of Italy and Britain, on land, the French army can still stretch past.
When Germany's internal integration is completed, then the offensive and defensive momentum will be transposed, and then it will be another evenly matched battle.
In this respect, the French must thank Ferdinand. If it were not for the rise of Bulgaria, the Germans would not have been weakened so much.
Land is gone, and population is decreasing. The key is that the R&D and production of high-tech industries were taken away by Ferdinand.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the world war, many high-level talents in Germany were taken away, and the British and French were also very shameless to transfer light industry to Germany.
Now the German industry has been biased, and it is impossible to pull it back. The heavy industry sector has stagnated for two decades, and there are no qualified workers in the machinery manufacturing sector.
Even though the group of industrial workers in Germany were still alive twenty years ago, so many years have passed, and the technology in their hands has long been abandoned.
Without the more than 20 million Germans in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the total population of Germany would not have reached the level of the Third Reich in history, with a population of only more than 50 million, including ethnic minorities.
This time the French can't be as persuaded as in history. This is determined by their strength. Why do they surrender if they win?
In terms of overall national strength, the French still occupies a clear advantage, surrendering to a country whose strength is weaker than their own. Marshal Petain could not do such things.
The Germans want to regain their vitality, not to mention, they don’t even have windows!
The world has been divided up, and even now that the British sponsors have given them blood transfusions, they can't find the direction of development.
The market for industrial products is gone. The market in the British colonies is not divided enough by itself. How can it be possible for the Germans to enter?
In the European market, their products cannot compete with similar products. The twenty-year technological gap cannot be made up in a short time.
...
On October 7, 1937, at the enlarged meeting of the League of Nations, the government of the Republic of China accused the Japanese of aggression, which was recognized by representatives of various countries.
Under the tacit understanding of the two countries, the League of Nations made a resolution to sanction the Japanese government. Of course, this is limited to economic sanctions and material embargoes.
In the current international situation, armed intervention is obviously out of fashion, unless the Japanese government is so powerful that it is as invincible as they boast.
Obviously, they do not have this strength yet. If the two countries are not jealous and need to join forces against the enemy, it is naturally impossible for the two sides to join forces.
As for the implementation capacity of this resolution, it depends on the ethics of the capitalists. The League of Nations does not have anti-smuggling ships, and cannot do anything about smuggling.
A conscientious capitalist like Ferdinand has enforced the League of Nations material embargo regulations in strict accordance with the regulations, and other capitalists will not know.
Everyone knows that the two major alliances are opposed, and the League of Nations is dead in name.
"Your Majesty, the nuclear weapons research team has achieved initial results. It is estimated that by the end of 1938, we can test the first nuclear bomb.
However, limited by capacity, it will take at least five years to produce this weapon on a large scale! "Carl said cautiously
Ferdinand nodded. The technology of nuclear weapons manufacturing was based entirely on the fact that he was willing to spend money. It would be different if he wanted mass production.
At least the current high manufacturing costs must be lowered first. Otherwise, this expensive weapon can only be left as a trump card.
Judging from the current situation, it will take a long time to achieve industrialized mass production, but this is enough.
Even if it is a laboratory product, with Bulgaria’s industrial capacity, a few of them are produced every year, which is also stress-free.
If you hoard it for a few years, you can ensure that Bulgaria will land smoothly in the world war. This is not the main weapon.
"Carry out the experiment secretly. For the sake of safety, let's go deep in the desert. It's best to determine the place of no value, so as not to cause trouble in the future!" Ferdinand explained.
He couldn't help being cautious. Bulgaria has a lot of deserts, and there are a lot of oil buried in the Bulgarian desert.
In the unlikely event that the site is selected incorrectly and nuclear tests are carried out on these oil fields, the economic losses will be great.

1938 was destined to be an eventful period. The Spanish Civil War entered its climax. The Republicans were destined to be unable to support the wall with mud. Even with the support of the British, they were still at a disadvantage.
This disadvantage is not only military, but also political. There is no harm if there is no comparison. The two sides have a bad game.
Politically, the republican regime, a new-born regime, quickly degenerated before it had time to develop and grow. In the military, the military discipline of the troops was slack and the people were miserable.
In contrast, the performance of Spanish right-wing groups is slightly better. Regarding local governance, they have basically maintained stability. Despite the dictatorship, they are not so corrupt.
If nothing else, in this round of games in Spain, the French will win this time. It is difficult to say whether the French alliance can be established.
"Father, as you might expect, the Japanese really attacked Soviet Russia. In the early morning of the Far Eastern region last night, the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Korean Army launched a sneak attack on the Soviets.
Judging from the current situation, Soviet Russia is now at a disadvantage. In future wars, Soviet Russia cannot cause us trouble. "Little Ferdinand said with a smile
These are all the Soviet Russian government's own pot, in order to obtain foreign exchange, Soviet Russia had to export mineral resources to Japan.
In 1937 alone, the total amount of ore exported from Soviet Russia to Japan exceeded 10 million tons, which aroused the interest of the Japanese in them.
Every husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!
A Soviet Russia that was undergoing industrialization became a fat sheep in the eyes of the Japanese, and the war broke out.
"It is estimated that it will not be long before the Japanese government will regret it, and they will suffer a lot from attacking two vast countries at the same time.
Soviet Russia is indeed not their opponent now, and that may not be the case when winter comes.
There are only a few countries in the world that have the ability to fight in the winter in Russia, not including Japan! "Ferdinand said with a sneer
If it was Ferdinand, he would definitely not fight two neighbors at the same time. Don't think they are weak, but can't stand the vastness of others?
A person with a large population and a person with a natural protective umbrella like winter cannot be done in a short time. For an island country, protracted war means disaster!
In terms of difficulty, the Japanese government's strategy is completely copy, and two copies of have been opened at the same time.
If according to normal people's thinking, at the end of the Russian Civil War, it would be the best opportunity for Japan to invade Soviet Russia.
At that time, Soviet Russia was at its weakest. Taking advantage of the blockade of Soviet Russia by West and East Russia, as soon as the war broke out, Soviet Russia’s channels for obtaining weapons and ammunition from the outside world could be cut off. At the same time, the steel comrades did not have enough young men. Fight as a soldier.
Then, if they grind slowly, they can still win the war, nothing more than joining forces with Eastern and Western Russia to carve up Soviet Russia.
Regrettably, the Japanese government was trapped by the lower-level military officers. They believed that Soviet Russia was a barren land and had no value, so they chose to do something against another neighbor.
With the continuous expansion of the trade volume between the two countries, Japan discovered that the Far East is not wild, but also rich in mineral resources. So what else?
Of course it is a word-do it!
"Father~EbookFREE.me~ I don't think the Japanese government's decision this time is wrong!" Ferdinand Young expressed a different opinion
"Tell me?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously
"The two major European alliances are now facing each other, but after all they haven't fought.
When the two lions compete, it is not necessarily the wild dog who is on the sidelines who will benefit. It is possible that the wild dog has become a snack in the lion's belly before the war broke out.
It is estimated that the Japanese government has also seen this problem. If they do not fall into the quagmire of war, how can we and the British start fighting with confidence?
If we choose to clear the venue early, they will bear the brunt. Even if they are thousands of miles away, they still won't be our opponents.
If they are strong enough, maybe after our two major alliances kill them, everyone will be tired, and the war that may break out will completely disappear. For the Japanese, isn’t that a tragedy? "Little Ferdinand analyzed
Ferdinand smiled slightly, and it was true that the little Ferdinand analyzed it and he also saw it. As the saying goes, if you see it through, it is a test of his son's international observation. Looking at it now, the result is still very satisfactory to him.
Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, the Japanese government's strategy is so unreliable and funny. This is indeed their most correct choice now.
Since the lessons of the First World War, European countries have exercised restraint in dealing with wars. In addition to the upsurge of non-governmental anti-war movements, more people still worry about being profited by others.
Even the combat plan of the Bulgarian staff has a plan to clear the ground in advance, including the first abolition of the Japanese, not to mention the British.
As long as John Bull does not want to lose Southeast Asia, India, Australia and New Zealand after a battle, it is very necessary to remove the hidden danger of Japan in advance.
