Chapter 1144: The difference between politics and military

The European countries pitted the Russians together, the Continental Alliance fell into infighting, and the Ocean Alliance finally got a short respite.
Japan was the first to benefit. Unlike the smooth sailing in the original time and space, the Russo-Japanese War was full of twists and turns.
Especially after the defeat of the Malacca naval battle, the Spanish navy came to make trouble every few times, and the Japanese Empire almost collapsed.
Airline safety is threatened, the transportation fleet is often attacked, and the supply of logistical materials is insufficient. Naturally, the Japanese forces on the front line will be affected.
If it were not supported by the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers, I am afraid the front would have collapsed long ago. Even so, the front line retreated from Vladivostok to the bank of the Yalu River.
The shadow of failure looms over the Japanese, and desperation continues to spread, and the Japanese government has even begun to prepare for the back.
At this critical moment, the Spanish navy, which was active in the Sea of ​​Japan, suddenly stopped coming.
Immediately after the news of the great chaos in Europe came, the Japanese government's sinking heart became active again.
Especially after receiving news that the Siberian railway was interrupted, the Japanese felt that they were doing it again. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for European countries to cheat the Russians together.
...
"Don't be busy and optimistic. The situation has not fundamentally changed. From a global perspective, the Ocean Alliance is still at a disadvantage.
The internal fighting in the European Union is not fierce. With the Vienna government pressing on it, all countries are secretly attacking at best.
Now countries are targeting each other, in addition to the conflicts accumulated in the past, mainly for the distribution of trophies.
But the prerequisite for sharing the spoils is to win the war. On the point of winning the war, the positions of European countries are unanimous.
The most important thing is the current dispute, the Holy Roman Empire did not directly participate in it. If the conflict continues to escalate, the Vienna government will definitely come forward to mediate.
Our top priority at the moment is not to defeat the Russians, nor to open up colonies, but to find a way to survive.
We cannot pin all our hopes on the British. We must consider the new international situation we need to face after the defeat of the Ocean Alliance. "
A basin of cold water poured down, extinguishing the military's blind optimism, Ito Bowen only felt tired.
The situation on the battlefield in the Far East has indeed reversed, but behind this reversal, the factors of human manipulation are too obvious.
The Siberian Railway was interrupted, and the logistics of the Russian army had problems, but the logistics of the Japanese army was not much better.
If it were not for the enemy's navy to deliberately release water, it would be difficult for the Japanese government to send strategic materials to the front lines, so what else?
Defeat the Russians, annex the Far East, and then plot the entire East Asia.
Such a strategic plan, Ito Hirobumi can't even think about it. Unless the Ocean Alliance wins the war, as a victorious country, Japan may have a chance to take a few steps forward.
If the Oceanic Alliance was defeated, as a loser in the war, it would be good for Japan to keep its homeland. Don't even think about the colonies.
Yamaxian Yutomo: "Ito-kun, you are too pessimistic! The performance of the British in this war is indeed disappointing, but it is not to the point of being defeated soon.
I have studied the history of European wars. Such large-scale wars have lasted for more than ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years.
On the contrary, the previous anti-French war, which ended in less than two years, was truly an alternative.
No matter how bad the background of the British Empire is, it will always be no problem to compete with the Holy Roman Empire for three to five years.
We will have a firm foothold in the Far East when they decide the outcome. The effort is not directly proportional to the benefit, and the Austrians will not go on an expedition. "
There is nothing wrong with the fact that all camp confrontations in European history lasted for a long time.
The main reason lies in the limitation of productivity, and everyone's national strength is limited, unable to support long-term continuous operations.
Usually they are fighting, and both sides can't hold it anymore, so they suspend their troops and go home, and continue to work after a while.
After entering the 19th century, the situation has changed. The previous anti-French war is a typical example.
Both sides are able to support millions of armies in off-production operations, just because of direct duel, there is no need for so many cuts.
The times are different. Just refer to past historical experiences. If you are addicted to it, it is inevitable to be led.
These problems are not unexpected by the military. The main reason is that the interests move people's hearts, and indulging in them is already a fan of the authorities.
On the one hand, we have to deal with international changes, on the other hand we have to suppress the thoughts that the domestic military should not have.
...
Compared with Japan's radicalism, the other member states of the Ocean Alliance are much more rational.
Europe is indeed in chaos, but chaos is within control. Only the Russian Empire is out of control.
Obviously, all countries saw that the victory of the war was imminent and kicked out the Russians ahead of time, reducing the number of trophies.
Moreover, it is not only the Continental Alliance that has fallen into chaos. The Ocean Alliance also caught fire in the backyard.
Britain was caught in the double impact of the strike and the anti-war wave and the Irish independence movement. The British Empire also needed time to put out the fire and was unable to launch a full counterattack within a short period of time.
The troubles in the United States are even more joyous. Not only did the anti-war wave erupt, some states even unilaterally announced their withdrawal from the war.
Join if you want to join, quit if you want to quit, like a child who hasn’t grown up, it’s willful.
Mexico and Colombia, which were hit by the war, reacted even more intensely.
On July 24, 1905, a coup took place in Bogotá. The original republican government fell. The new government is actively embarking on diplomatic actions to withdraw from the war.
I don’t know if I can retreat completely. Anyway, for the first country to withdraw from the Ocean Alliance, the Vienna government is very face-to-face. The frontline has ceased fire and it is waiting for the outcome of the negotiations.
Since the fall of the Massimiliano regime, Mexico has been trapped in a warlord melee, and the central government has only been unified in name.
Such a country obviously does not have the ability to launch wars abroad.
The Mexican Republican government has been able to maintain it until now, and Britain and the United States have made great efforts. Without the intervention of international forces, the restoration of Massimiliano would have been successful with the support of the Vienna government.
Participating in this war was completely pressured by the boss behind it, and the United States did indeed send reinforcements. This was the courage to stud.
Then, the tragedy began to happen. The elite troops of the United States of America, who had high hopes, staged a flower-like gift as soon as they entered the battlefield.
Although the Mexican army is also a mob, there have been more civil wars, and everyone's combat effectiveness has not increased much, but the ability to save lives on the battlefield has increased.
The weird scene appeared. It was also defeated. The Mexican army suffered less than one-third of the American army's casualties. You know that the Mexican army participating in the war is twice the number of American troops.
The blinding numbers of casualties fell in the eyes of the Mexican warlords, and they came to a conclusion-"The United States is not as powerful as its own."
As soon as this conclusion came out, everyone directly lost confidence in the Ocean Alliance winning the war, at least there was no hope in the Central American battlefield.
For their own benefit, each one is preparing for the future. Some guys who were originally inclined to the monarchy system even publicly played the banner of Massimiliano.
South American countries are not at peace either. Brazil, Chile, and Argentina, known as the "Three Powers in South America," also broke out massive anti-war demonstrations.
Although the pro-British faction is powerful, the pro-Austrian faction is not for nothing. Before Britain had the advantage of sea power, everyone wouldn't mind following a little bit cheaper. Now that the situation has reversed, of course it will change its face.
Originally annoyed that a breakthrough had not been made on the battlefield, but now I was only lucky. No breakthrough on the battlefield means that much substantial damage has not yet been caused.
The lower the damage, the lower the hatred will be pulled, and the lower the price to pay to smooth the hatred will naturally be.
Shamelessly, you can also shift the responsibility to the British, claiming that you are forced to be involved in "being in Cao Ying and heart in Han".
Submit a certificate, throw a few scapegoats out, and pay a little more for the loss, and that's what happened.
Similar cases have long been seen in European history. The countries of the Americas were born in Europe, and naturally they were not less affected.
For many countries of the Ocean Alliance, the European Union’s involvement in civil strife is the best opportunity for everyone to disembark.
If you miss this point in time, and you want to retreat, the price you need to pay is not so little.
Looking at the busy situation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Shinra, we know that something big will happen soon.
...
As if stimulated, Secretary of the Army Fislav: "Now launching a landing operation, this is impossible!
The strength of the British is still there. Without destroying the enemy's air force and navy, the risk of landing is too great. "
The "Sea Lion Project" is not easy to implement. The original three empires of time and space failed. Although the situation of Shinra is better now, the main forces of the British navy and air force are still good.
In the event that halfway through the landing, the enemy burst out desperately, then things will happen.
Any great country can burst out incomparable power at the time of life and death.
The British Empire that dominates the world is not a sick cow of later generations. In times of crisis, there is absolutely no lack of desperate spirit.
Foreign Secretary Leo: "Your Excellency, don't get excited. The risks of landing operations are indeed great, but the benefits involved are also great!
There is no need to directly occupy the British Isles, as long as the landing is completed, it doesn't matter if the landing site is a bit off.
The coastline of the British Isles is so long, there are always places the enemy cannot take care of. As long as we are fast enough, it is not impossible to send a small number of troops to occupy a foothold.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently instigating against the member states of the Ocean Alliance, and some people are already tempted, but they still have the last glimmer of illusions about the British.
As long as they break their last illusion, the Ocean Alliance will soon fall apart. Together with the other countries we secretly wooed, it is enough to set off an anti-British wave around the world.
At that time, perhaps there is no need to attack, and the British themselves will surrender under internal and external pressure.
Even if there is a risk, compared with the rich benefits, it is enough to carry out this adventure. The big deal is to send the troops of the allies to the past, and now it's time for them to dedicate. "
Nothing wrong, allies are used to cheat. The war of hegemony has been carried out so far, and only one Russia is really being pitted, and no one dares to believe it.
Now it is time to take risks, and it is justified to let allies go first. Without sacrifice, how can one be qualified to share the spoils?
You must know that this war was mainly fought by Shinra, and everyone just followed suit with soy sauce.
Feslav was lost in thought, politics and military are not the same. The "Sea Lion Project" was formulated by the military, and it is obviously more focused on the military.
In the military, to defeat the British Empire, it is enough to occupy London, and the remaining small rural areas are not important at all.
But politically, it is completely different. Regardless of where the coalition forces land from or whether they can keep up with subsequent operations, as long as they gain a foothold in the British Isles, it is considered a successful landing.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can take advantage of this achievement and dignifiedly fudge governments of countries that have fallen into hesitation to help everyone make the right decision.
"You can try, but..."
