Just when the British government decided to put all the chips on the stud, the outcome of the Battle of the English Channel was also spread by the Vienna government.
The morale of the Continental Alliance has soared, and those who were still swaying are now moving closer to the Vienna government.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many countries involved and the interests involved were too great, it would be difficult to finalize it for a while, and the Continental Alliance had already swelled.
On the contrary, the Ocean Alliance is a gloomy cloud. As much as everyone expected from the Royal Navy before, so much is the disappointment now.
The boss is not strong, and the younger brothers are also very embarrassed. If the current situation does not allow everyone to back down, I am afraid that everyone will vote with their feet.
Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.
On May 27, 1905, the mainland coalition army led by Shinra joined forces with the southward Russian army in the Khorasan area. On the same day, the Tehran defenders, who were besieged by the mainland coalition forces, put down their weapons and surrendered. The Persian Empire was officially destroyed.
Originally, the defeat of Persia was also due. Faced with the attack of European countries, it was able to resist for five months, and the Persian Empire had already performed beyond the standard.
It was a remarkable achievement despite the support of allies. If the British Isles border the European mainland, it is unknown whether Britain can last for five months.
But at this point in time, there is no room for everyone to think too much. A sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox spreading in the Ocean Alliance.
The British government, which is full of confusion, has no time to appease the emotions of its allies, and even their own emotions have no time to adjust.
Open the map and know that India is in danger. Fortunately, the Suez Canal was blocked, otherwise the enemy's navy would go east to cover the army's attack from the sea, and the situation would have worsened.
It's not much better now, India has been caught in a two-front battle, and maybe it will have a third-line battle in the future.
The only thing that can be relied on is the geographical advantage. The coalition forces have to cross the Persian plateau from the west, and logistics transportation is a big problem.
In fact, the biggest reason why the Persian Empire was able to last for five months was also because logistics limited the play of the coalition forces.
There is no way. Except for the main cities, most of Persia has no railways and can only rely on human and animal power for transportation.
The only railway was also destroyed by the Persians. In order to ensure the logistics of the troops, the Vienna government even mobilized hundreds of transport airships.
As the front moved forward, the coalition headquarters also moved to Zahedan. As the victor of the war, Archduke Friedrich couldn't see a smile on his face.
"Kill all the way to India", the slogan is simple, but if you really want to implement it, trouble will come.
Logistics is the biggest flaw. At this moment, the biggest task of the coalition forces is not to fight, but to repair the railway smashed by the enemy.
It is ironic to say that most of the railways in Persia were built by the British, and now these railways have become the biggest help for the coalition to attack India.
Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was a precaution against the Persian Empire. The specifications of the railways built by the shit stick in Persia are also varied.
In order to repair these railways, even the train skins are specially customized from China. Looking at the report in his hand, Friedrich suspected that he was not the commander-in-chief of the coalition, but an engineering commander.
No way, the war with Persia was over, but the place was still unstable. Railway repair work can only be done by the military itself.
No wonder that when Alexander the Great was on his expedition, he was not able to reach India. You can see it all by looking at the bad traffic.
No matter how bad the traffic is and how bad the conditions are, advancing the front to India is a strategic victory.
At this stage, as long as the Continental Alliance is willing to invest, it is only a matter of time before it takes India.
Everything has two sides. While winning strategically, the Continental Alliance is also surging.
There is no doubt that rich India is the best "cake". The Vienna government made an early promise not to interfere in India and let everyone divide it up.
Most of the Continental Alliance is a small country. Except for Shinra and Russia, no one has the strength to monopolize India. The Vienna government announced its withdrawal early, and the only competitors left were Britain and Russia.
It is not difficult to expel the British. In the face of the siege of the entire European continent, it is very unlikely that the British will hold India. The trouble is after the expulsion of the British.
Without a common enemy, allies become competitors. The interests are moving, although the Russian Empire is still strong, but this does not shake everyone's determination to spy on India.
One-on-one, no one is an opponent of the Russians; once they are in a group, the situation is very different.
Anyway, there is still Shinra pressing on it. In name, everyone is allies. Even if there is a conflict, the Russians cannot directly confront them.
There is no need to go to war with the Russians directly, just to compete secretly, whoever counsels who is the grandson.
A war without the smoke of gunpowder kicked off within the Continental Alliance. Pulling back legs, making black hands, and all kinds of sinister means are competing to be staged first.
Soon the lawsuit hit Franz's desk, and then naturally the torment continued. In the face of interests, does it mean that mediation can be mediation
What's more, the conflict between European countries and the Russians was originally planned by the Vienna government in advance, and India was even thrown out for this purpose.
If it weren't for the fact that the hegemonic war is not over yet, it is not suitable to provoke disputes now, otherwise Franz would have to end up personally to help fuel the flames.
The Vienna government didn't care about the matter, and the two sides were happy, but at this time the British secret hand was launched again.
Strike, see strike again, strike movements have broken out across Europe, from Lisbon to St. Petersburg.
Different from the previous retreat of supporting the revolutionary party, this time the British have completely let go of their hands and feet.
Not only did they repatriate the revolutionary party, but they also sent professionals to help formulate a revolutionary outline. Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, at least the cake painting is very successful.
The deceived revolutionaries, one by one, were like chicken blood, and devoted themselves to this revolutionary wave.
The Russian Empire, which has accumulated the most contradictions and has the most corrupt bureaucracy, has naturally become the hardest hit by this turmoil.
If there is a strike in other countries, it is really just a strike. If the social environment does not allow it, no matter how loud the revolutionary party's slogan is, it will be difficult to start a revolution.
The Russian Empire is different. As the first country to participate in the war, Russia is also the country most affected by the war.
Before and after, nearly three million troops were mobilized to support two-front operations at the same time, and the economy would not be affected.
Despite the support of the Vienna government, this support is limited. Most of the war funds and materials were raised by the tsarist government.
If this is the case, with the size of the Russian Empire, it is not impossible to support, and the bad is in the bureaucracy.
Nicholas II was never a strong monarch, and naturally he could not deter domestic bulls, snakes, ghosts and gods. The opportunity to make a fortune has come, and it is inevitable to "levy three or five fights".
It seems inconspicuous, but it can be accumulated layer by layer, and it is a heavy burden on the people at the bottom.
Life was already difficult, and the capitalists jumped out and fell to the ground. On the one hand, they are hoarding and raising prices, while on the other hand they deduct salaries and increase working hours.
People have no money in their pockets, and life is unsustainable. It doesn't matter, there are tailor-made loan sharks.
Experts and scholars who should have issued an early warning, under the power of capital, continue to sing praises and madly advocate...
With the continuous concentration of wealth, social contradictions are also increasing day by day, creating opportunities for revolution.
On June 1, 1905, the Polish masses of the strike march broke out in an armed conflict with the military and police on Waiters Avenue, and the Polish Independence Organization took the opportunity to launch a rebellion.
After the "6.1" revolution took place, it was as if a ladle of water was poured into a boiling oil pan, and it splattered instantly.
On June 4, a national independence movement broke out in Bulgaria; on June 6, an independence movement broke out in Finland; on June 11, an anti-Russian riot broke out in Lithuania; on June 15, Ukraine…
Prior to this, the Afghan National Revolutionary Party launched an armed revolution in May and fired the first anti-Russian shot.
It's just that anti-Russian riots often occur in Afghanistan, and the guerrillas have never been wiped out, and they have not attracted everyone's attention.
On June 22, French laborers in Siberia rioted, and the Siberian Railway was interrupted for a time.
On June 26, Ottoman immigrants exiled to Siberia also participated in the rebellion.
And that's not all, at the beginning of July, there was also a rebellion in Grozny in the Caucasus region.
On July 11, Kazakhs in Central Asia also joined the anti-Russian movement, and the Central Asian Railway was forced to be interrupted.
…
So many independence and rebellions are obviously not something that the British family can plan.
Leaving aside the rest, it is clear how the revolutionary party returned to Russia and where the weapons and equipment came from.
It is difficult for the tsarist government not to be unlucky or not. What's more, the Russian Empire is still leaking everywhere, creating opportunities for everyone.
The Russians are unlucky, and European countries have not been able to survive on their own. Revolutions are contagious, especially when the British are on fire.
On June 18, the Portuguese republican faction staged a coup, and Carlos I fled in a panic.
On June 24, a religious conflict broke out in Madrid, the capital of Spain, resulting in 7 deaths and 16 injuries, and the conflict between reformers and conservatives escalated.
On June 27th, the republican movement broke out in Italy, the Archduke Lucca fled in a hurry, and the Papal State also hangs by a thread.
On the same day, an anti-war movement broke out in Hanover, demanding that the Vienna government end the war and restore peace.
On June 29, anti-Russian demonstrations broke out in Prussia.
On July 1, anti-war demonstrations broke out in the Netherlands.
…
It's a mess, and the entire European continent is a mess from east to west.
The British are just starting out, and the rest are free for all countries to play. He cheated you, you cheated me, I cheated him, and he has come and gone, and no one can stand alone.
The Continental Alliance is in chaos, and Britain has not been able to escape the disaster. As the protagonist of this war, how can there be no contradictions in the country
After the Battle of the English Channel, the peaceful days of the British Isles came to an end, the delay of the people to the war reached its peak, and the voice of the people against the war was growing.
On June 16, 1905, an anti-war strike movement broke out in Bradford, followed by Sheffield, Liverpool, London, Dublin and other major cities.
Especially in the Dublin area, the momentum of the independence movement has also risen with the tide. If there are not enough troops stationed, I am afraid that the local people are not only anti-war, but want to fight for independence.
