Vol 6 Chapter 18: ,Ethiopia

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Edward VIII's love drama, contracted the year-round jokes, and finally found that it can not be stopped, Prime Minister Stanley Wynn Baldwin still made Made concessions.
You can get married. They won't give the title of queen anyway, and their future children will not have the right to inherit.
Prime Minister Stanley Wynn Baldwin can't do without surrendering. Raw rice is cooked into cooked rice. Can't he really make the king abdicate?
This is different from the historical situation. Several of Edward VIII's younger brothers have all stood on their own feet outside, and now it is impossible for him to abdicate on his own initiative.
The power of the royal family is a bit stronger than in history. The London government has had enough trouble. Prime Minister Stanley Wynn Baldwin can't bear the charge of forcing the king to abdicate.
The farce is over, but the sequelae are quite serious. It should have been a wedding that has attracted worldwide attention, and there is no last significant guest.
Even the London media have mentioned it in one stroke, and the British people feel ashamed and embarrassed to mention it again.
...
"Your Majesty, the Governor of Somalia proposes to occupy Ethiopia to enhance our competitiveness on the African continent!" Colonial Minister Attlee said
"Let’s talk about the situation in Ethiopia first, and the reasons for taking military action?" Little Ferdinand asked concerned.
Since this issue has come to him, it must have been supported by the government, or at least one of the Ministry of War, the General Staff, or the Bulgarian Military Commission.
The War Department doesn't need to think about it. As long as there is a battle, they will most likely support it. Do the generals in the army still want to be crowned?
Therefore, on this issue, their right to speak is not high and they can only make a reference opinion. Of course, a war that they both oppose will definitely not be fought.
"Your Majesty, from a military standpoint, the Governor's Palace of Somalia began to infiltrate Ethiopia more than ten years ago. After so many years of cannibalization, we now use the Shabelle River as the dividing line.
At the same time, the Greek Kingdom in Asmara has been fighting Ethiopia. Since five years ago, Ethiopia has been at a military disadvantage.
The strength of the Ethiopians has been almost consumed, and their vitality has been greatly injured by the long-term fighting.
The Government of Somalia believes that all our troops stationed there can defeat the enemy!
From an economic point of view, Ethiopia has a wide variety of minerals, rich in hydropower and forest resources, and has great development value.
Strategically, we can further put pressure on the British, let them understand that we value Africa, and force them to increase their military investment in South Africa! "Attlee explained
Little Ferdinand nodded. War is a continuation of politics.
He can directly ignore the military reasons. The two sides are not at the same level at all, and they are not qualified to be valued by Bulgaria.
Economic reasons can only be regarded as general. Ethiopia's value is not too high, and it is not a place that is inevitable.
Putting pressure on the British strategically is what little Ferdinand values ​​most.
Everyone knows that the army is not the strength of the British. It would be great if the British could increase investment in the army.
"Your Majesty, the terrain conditions of the African continent are very harsh, and they are not suitable for large-scale army operations. Transportation and logistics are the biggest problems.
The British-Berg War is the best example. It is not so much that the Boers fought the British for two and a half years, but rather bad traffic dragged the British for two years, and the remaining half a year was time for war.
The borders between us and the British colonies are all wild areas. The British deliberately ignored the local traffic.
In order to avoid conflict, we did not carry out construction in the border area. Both sides have set aside sufficient buffer zones.
If we want to make the British feel the military pressure, unless we continue to repair the railway, even if we occupy Ethiopia, it will not make much difference before the traffic problem is solved!
The British are not fools. They will not give up their strengths and compete with us on land. If you want to put pressure on them, I suggest that you increase troops in Africa.
Even several military exercises around the Sinai Peninsula are much better than attacking Ethiopia! "The chancellor opposed
No one doubts whether Bulgaria can occupy Ethiopia. The question is how much military expenditure will be paid to occupy this place. No one can answer this question.
Although the colonial garrison repeatedly stated that they could handle it by themselves, what about this time?
The area of ​​Ethiopia is not small. Even if part of the area has been eroded by Bulgaria over the years, and part of the land has been robbed by the Greeks, there are still 8000 or 900 thousand square kilometers of the remaining territory.
"Your Majesty, Ethiopia is also an independent country. If we initiate a war for no reason, it will affect our international reputation!" Foreign Minister Coleman said
"Your Majesty, excuses for war are everywhere. Although Ethiopia is an independent country, it does not have a high status in the world. In the eyes of many people, this is a big African tribe.
There is no one in the world who will stand for them. As long as we have timely public relations, we can completely shift the responsibility of the war to them! "The chief of the general staff Krossf retorted
"Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, even if you are talking about the smallpox, no one would think that Ethiopia would dare to invade Bulgaria. In fact, they can't even beat the Greeks!
The so-called excuse for war is not suitable for appearing now. At this time, we are competing with the British. A good international reputation is very important! "Prime Minister Torsky said
...
The General Staff + War Department + Colonial Government VS Cabinet, the main battle faction and the main peace faction are considered to be tied, and the final decision is in the hands of Ferdinand Little.
Do you want to attack Ethiopia?
Looking at the map of Africa, little Ferdinand was thoughtful. He seemed to understand a little bit. It was definitely not a coincidence that the new kingdom of Greece was placed in Asmara.
This is clearly aimed at Ethiopia. Judging from the current situation, the plan is going very smoothly.
The Greeks who did not want to integrate in the country all went to the new Greek kingdom. They were busy fighting the Ethiopians every day. Naturally, they could not get through with Bulgaria without any effort.
After so many years, the two sides have long been feuding, but the relationship between Greece and Bulgaria has improved.
To transfer the hatred, this trick Ferdinand played is simply perfect. He has fought with Ethiopia for more than 20 years. How many Greeks remember the grudges with Bulgaria?
Even if it appeared in the history books, their enemy now is Ethiopia next door.
Regarding the Bulgarian Empire as an enemy, it is estimated that even the most radical Greeks do not think there is a chance to win. Since they can't win, they naturally have to admit it.
After trying to understand all this, Ferdinand Jr. knew what to do. Ethiopia can be occupied, but it must not be now!
Bulgaria’s reputation must not be bad. This is related to the future world strategy. Even if you want to start a war, you must have sufficient reasons.
Unfortunately, the strength of the Bulgarian empire is too strong now, unless the brain is flooded, otherwise no one will take the initiative to initiate a war on Bulgaria, including the British.
On the Eurasian continent, Bulgaria covers an area of ​​more than 8 million square kilometers.
There is also the world's most complete industrial system, with a population of over 80 million, the world's most powerful air force, and the second-ranked army and navy.
Against any enemy, little Ferdinand will not confuse, there is no country in the world today, the development is as balanced as Bulgaria.
Among the most important powers, Bulgaria has an absolute population advantage, which is almost equal to the total population of the United Kingdom + North America.
When power is strong and when power is weak, foreign policy is also completely different.
Ferdinand was able to design the Ottoman Empire so that they could take the initiative to provoke the war, or show their weakness to attract Greece, the Kingdom of Montenegro, and Romania to attack.
Now Little Ferdinand decided not to play this way, otherwise the Eastern European Union would be finished first. Without the Eastern European Union, it would not be so simple to go single against the whole world.
"The Ethiopian issue is put on hold first. For the sake of safety, we will focus on cannibalization first. After the overall situation has been set, we will come back to deal with this issue!
Taking into account the issue of international reputation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tries to promote the alliance between Ethiopia and the British, so that when we do this in the future, we will not be condemned by public opinion! "Little Ferdinand said
Let the enemy cling together, and then do it in one go. It was this strategy that Bulgaria succeeded in unifying the Balkans.
Today, little Ferdinand has come up with this strategy again, and everyone will naturally not object.
Ethiopia is not a strong country. Even if it is allied with the British, it is impossible to increase the strength of the Western European Union. On the contrary, it will distract the British.
Little Ferdinand does not think that Ethiopia can complete industrialization within a few years. It must be known that even in Bulgaria, the process of industrialization took more than 30 years.
On the basis of his predecessor, it took more than ten or twenty years for Ferdinand to complete the initial industrialization.
Industrial upgrading, after the First World War ~EbookFREE.me~ relied on Russian heritage, German family background, and its own accumulation to complete the counterattack.
When Bulgaria's industrialization started, there were millions of elementary school students and hundreds of thousands of middle school students in the country. With these talents, Ferdinand started the five-year plan.
Ethiopia does not have so many talents now, otherwise it would not have waited until the 21st century to complete industrialization.
"Your Majesty, the Ethiopian government has long been closer to the London government, but the British are too arrogant to look down on them, otherwise they would be allies twenty years ago.
This is a matter of concept. Unless the war has broken out, the British will not let go of it! "Coleman said with a frown.
The sun never sets the empire naturally has its own arrogance, it is too difficult for them to make alliances with the African chiefs.
Even small European countries, such as pro-British Portugal, have not formally formed an alliance, otherwise the membership of the Western European Union will continue to increase.
Of course, this is not a decision error made by the British, but the more members there are, the more internal conflicts there will be.
To allow some countries that can only wave the flag to join the alliance, in addition to increasing internal conflicts, but also not increasing the strength of the alliance, it is completely out of value.
"Then leave them alone. We won't be able to fight for a while. If the French can break out and play the Napoleonic prestige, we don't need to do anything.
War is not a child's play, so the war that determines the national movement, we can fight as little or as little as possible! "Little Ferdinand nodded and said
Barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes. Now both Britain and Bulgaria wear shoes, and both sides naturally exercise restraint.
Without the existence of the two bare feet of Germany and Italy, it is destined to break the situation in Europe. Little Ferdinand would not mind planting another twenty years of fields and let the British admit defeat.
