Vol 5 Chapter 110: Crash


Compared with the French government's selling price, the Vienna government will be much simpler. The British Empire is very bullish, but this bully has nothing to do with them.
Even if the Royal Navy dominates the world, it is not possible to run to the Adriatic Sea to dominate the power, but Bulgaria, next door, is more terrible.
If at this time they stand in the wrong team, their lives will not pass.
The Otranto Strait is a Bulgarian inland river. As long as Bulgaria has a military exercise here, the shipping of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be directly completed.
Maritime transportation is only a small problem. As a land power country, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire ’s diplomatic options have always been very small.
Just as they had to deal with the Germans before World War I, they had to deal with Bulgaria after World War I. They had little choice in diplomacy.
It can only be said that God did not bless them, and the geographical location determined their tragic life.
During the Crimean War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire betrayed its allies, the Russian Empire, and caused heavy losses to the Russians, which opened the prelude to the contradiction between Russia and Austria.
In World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire betrayed the Germans again. This time it was reported as the revenge of the Austrian-Prussian War, but since then, Germany and Austria have also revenge.
Traitors are always the most hateful!
If there is no major change, the hatred between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany and Russia will not be resolved in a short time.
At this time, if you are on the Bulgarian bar again, you can't think of a calf!
...
The news that Bulgaria is about to dig the Grand Canal in the Gulf of Aqaba is a buzz in the European continent, and there are many opinions. Many people are speculating that the conflict between Britain and Bulgaria will break out.
However, one thing is certain. It is related to the increase in navigation fees of the Suez Canal Management Company. Conflicts of interest are the most irreconcilable contradictions.
Almost all countries in the world are looking forward to the intensification of the conflict between Bulgaria and the British Empire, and it is best to fight directly.
In particular, the independent revolutionary party in Southeast Asia is receiving this news from the Japanese and is even more encouraged.
Obviously they think too much. As time goes by day by day, they have not seen the escalation of contradictions between the two countries, except for a scolding battle between the two countries in the newspaper, and then it is over.
No, it's just that Bulgaria is over. Britain can be lively. The media in London are so noisy about this issue. There are various opinions and no one can convince anyone.
However, the London media still highly praised the performance of Stanley Baldwin's cabinet in this incident.
From beginning to end, Stanley Baldwin's cabinet was very calm and fought with the Bulgarian government, without intensifying the contradictions between the two sides, let alone start work directly.
After all, although the Suez Canal has a great political influence, it has no economic relationship with the vast majority of the British public except for the relevant people.
Whether the economic interests are damaged, they have no real pain, and of course they do not want the conflict to escalate.
Even if the Grand Canal of the Aqaba Bay is opened, the role of the Suez Canal will indeed be reduced, but the core value of interest will remain unchanged, and it can still connect with India, the most important colony of the British Empire.
As long as the core benefits are preserved and some navigation costs are lost, it will not be within the scope of most people's concerns. No matter how much the Canal Company makes, it has nothing to do with them.
From the point of view of ordinary people, Bulgarians should dig the canal if they want to dig it. People dig the canal on their own land, and the British Empire is not easy to interfere!
Moreover, the canal can not be dug in a day or two. The Suez Canal has been dug for more than ten years, not to mention the construction of the Aqaba Bay Canal, which is more difficult and farther away.
According to British media reports, the most optimistic estimates also take ten years, most of which are expected to be dug for twenty or thirty years. The most pessimistic estimate is a series of lifetimes.
Their calculation method was inferred by referring to the engineering volume of the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal. As for their organizational capabilities and scientific and technological progress, they were directly ignored by them unconsciously.
Everyone is amateur. If you guess correctly, you can report that they have a foresight in the future. It doesn't matter if you guess wrong. You can find a lot of reasons to argue.
As journalists, as long as there is a topic, they are not the chief engineer of the Aqaba Gulf Canal, and they are not responsible for these remarks.

"His Majesty, something happened to the British colonies in Southeast Asia!"
"The British are filled with smoke every day in the Southeast Asian colonies. What can happen?" Ferdinand said indifferently.
In his opinion, most of the British colonies in Southeast Asia had already been occupied, even if the situation was even worse, that's it.
"On May 8, 1927, the rebels in Southeast Asia launched a counterattack against the British. At the same time, the British defeated almost all of them, and Singapore fell. If not, Mr. Churchill would have been captured.
Not only that, the British warships moored in the port of Singapore were also sunk by a rebel and a battleship, two cruisers! "Metev answered solemnly.
"This is impossible! Is the British army a rice bucket? Is this a record that Southeast Asian rebels can fight?" Ferdinand questioned
This is no longer an impressive record, this is simply a mythical record!
What's more, the battleships have sunk. Are you sure you haven't launched?
Even though Churchill's commanding ability is still poor, the army in his hands can't make a fake, can't beat the rebellion in the jungle, can't it defend the city?
How is the rebel's combat effectiveness, do you still need doubt? Surely it's Wuhe? Could the British army not win even a group of black people?
"Your Majesty, the news is true! I have verified that it is not the rebels who defeated the British this time, but the harsh weather conditions in Southeast Asia.
According to the information we have collected, Southeast Asia has entered summer in March, and a large number of mosquitoes and ants have multiplied.
After being bitten by mosquitoes, the British army experienced very serious non-combat attrition, and the morale of the army had already fallen to an underestimation.
Most of these foreign aids have lost their combat effectiveness because of the lack of adversity, and the rest are also trembling and unwilling to fight. Metiev explained
"No, the British have not occupied Southeast Asia for a day or two. It is impossible for them not to know these issues. In this case, they should have been prepared. How could such a low-level error occur?" Ferdinand asked in doubt.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that this has something to do with politics. In order to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible, the British government's assistance from the outside this time was sent to the front line before it could adapt to the local climate.
At the same time, this time the Japanese also shot, including the army that captured Singapore, all of which were led by Japanese expatriates. It seems that many Chinese also joined the rebels.
Their combat effectiveness is much stronger, and there are experienced Japanese officers in command. Moreover, during more than half a year of fighting, the rebels also obtained a lot of weapons from the British.
Among the elite of these rebels, the weapons and equipment are not worse than the British. Under the same conditions, the British are really not their opponents! "Metev analyzed
Ferdinand thought about it and found that it seems that this is really possible. During the First World War in history, Mr. Churchill made this mistake.
For political needs and disregarding the actual situation, before the British and French coalition forces were not ready, they ordered the battle of Dardanelles and staged a flower-style gift.
This time it was nothing more than changing the time, changing the place, and making the same mistake. It seems that it is not impossible.
The Southeast Asian region has a rainy season from May to October. If it is not possible to suppress the rebels before the rainy season comes, after May, British troops will be passively beaten.
It probably summed up the failure of last year. In February and March of 1927, the British army had been fighting well and had suppressed the scope of the rebels' activities.
Seeing victory in sight, Burma reversed. The previous efforts were lost, so after the reinforcements arrived in April.
Counterattack a wave before the rainy season, and fight against the arrogance of the rebels. Give the country an explanation and ease the pressure on yourself. This is much like the style of Mr. Churchill.
As a result, the reinforcements who were not convinced by the soil were scattered on the battlefield, and after a few days of fighting, they lost their combat effectiveness, and finally the enemy had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
These are all supplemented by Ferdinand on his own. The actual situation has yet to be verified. There are many factors for the failure of the British, and it is definitely not just that simple.
"So what about battleships? Even if the insurgents seized the British artillery, the army's artillery would not sink the battleship!
Could it be that God is visiting them, and there is an oil tanker right next to it, the artillery of the rebel army hit the tanker, and then the fuel in it exploded, and finally took away a battleship? Ferdinand asked in doubt
"Your Majesty, this is really a good idea. Unfortunately, after a good opportunity, we could get a bunch of tankers and fill up with fuel at the ports in Singapore. It is estimated that this time the British will lose most of the Far East.
It seems that the Japanese developed a suicide missile specifically for the insurgent army. As long as there is a death squad with a cannonball, you can attack the warship. This weapon is launched at close range, and it is very powerful!
This time the insurgents fired dozens of suicide missiles before sinking a British battleship! "Megev regrets
It seems that a golden opportunity has been missed. Not only Megeve, but even Ferdinand secretly regretted it, without considering this issue.
Otherwise, the crude oil exported from Bulgaria to Japan can be docked at the port of Singapore, with a fuel explosion of tens of thousands of tons, or even more than 100,000 tons, which can fully cover the port of Singapore.
At this price, a third of the Royal Navy was silently overshadowed. Unfortunately, this opportunity is gone forever!
"It is indeed a pity that not only did we miss this opportunity, but even our plan to use the colonial rebellion in Southeast Asia to hold back the British will be aborted.
With such a big incident, I am afraid that the London government will soon replace the person and preside over the counter-insurgency work in Southeast Asia. And with this lesson, the person in charge will definitely be a general! Ferdinand regrets
Civilian presiding over counterinsurgency will definitely consider politics first, then military, and even for political interests, even if they know that it is not military desirable, they will do it.
Changing to a military commander is not the same. Naturally, their political sensitivity will be a bit worse. They will think more about military issues, and their military command capabilities are much stronger.
They don't develop strategies that seem strategically brilliant, but actually can't be completed.
The situation in Southeast Asia is now completely eroded, but it is easier to make peace.
It is a pity that the people of Wuhe are the people of Wuhe. The origins of the rebels are too complicated. When facing common enemies, they can work together. Once the enemy disappears, they will fight internally.
When the British regroup, and when they return, the rebels, whose internal contradictions have intensified, are no longer a threat.
Unless one of them has a power group that can subdue everyone, integrate everyone, and build a new country.
So after reunification, they will have the ability to fight the British. After all, the Army is not John Bull's strong point. As long as they win this battle, they can really be independent.
However, Ferdinand is not optimistic about them at all ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The British will be serious next. The British Empire, which is full of firepower, is not a group of black people to deal with.
The Royal Navy blocked the coastline and replaced it with a stable general. 200,000 British troops were enough to suppress these rebellions.
After all, the Southeast Asian region has not been able to be completely integrated, which is very unfavorable to the insurgents. Under the blockade of the British Navy, it is difficult for them to obtain supplies.
After just a few battles, the insurgents without ammunition will fall apart.
In this respect, the insurgents were able to persist until now. Instead of being finished, they have grown. Churchill, the British commander, is the first hero!
"Your Majesty, should we now create some trouble for the British when the order in Southeast Asia is chaotic?" Metiev suggested
"Well, now is the best opportunity to smuggle weapons. There should be a lot of money in the hands of these insurgents, and we will help them spend some.
By the way, the weapons and ammunition sold cannot be all made in Bulgaria, but must also be mixed with weapons and equipment from other countries, so that the British will not see the flaws!
Moreover, this time we are not convenient to come forward personally, hire a few people from outside to do it, let them show up, our people try not to show up.
As long as the Bulgarian government does not personally participate, even if the British know that we did it, they can only eat this dumb loss if no evidence is found! Ferdinand thought for a while
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Metiev replied
