Although the Seven Wounds Fist has a serious backlash, it has to admit that its power is great. Especially when European countries have contributed to the fire, the power of the outbreak is even greater.
The Trans-Siberian Railway was interrupted, and the situation in the Russian Far East turned into flowing water; the Central Asian Railway was cut off, and the alliance's offensive in India was interrupted.
Civil strife broke out in the Russian Empire, and the tsarist government was too busy to take care of itself, and did not even care about the frontline Russian troops.
The Russian army in the Far East is out of reach, but the Russian army in Central Asia, as an ally, cannot watch them go hungry, especially since the coalition forces have successfully joined forces.
Fortunately, India is rich enough to obtain some supplies on the spot as supplies, otherwise Franz could only order the withdrawal of the troops.
Although there is no withdrawal of troops now, but don't even think about launching an attack for a while. Suddenly there were 800,000 more mouths, occupying a large amount of the coalition's transportation capacity.
Not only has the Indian battlefield been affected, but even the progress of the "Sea Lion Project" has been delayed.
The European continent is in chaos, how can France be stable? There was no major trouble, because the Allies were going to land on the British Isles and temporarily live in France.
With an army of millions gathered, no matter how big the chaos can be, it can be extinguished. After several failed rebellions, the Revolutionary Party stopped playing armed uprisings and started a strike movement instead.
Affected by the general strike, the railways in France were interrupted for a time. In order to stabilize the rear, the coalition forces had to extinguish the fire in the backyard first.
In a place as large as the European continent, countries are very closely connected, and the situation affects the whole body.
To stabilize the backyard, not only to help the French government stabilize the situation, but also to help other allies stabilize the situation.
For example: Help the King of Portugal to restore.
Although the Republican Party also stated that it would join the coalition and continue to fight against Britain, doing things at this point in time would be the enemy of the coalition and have no room for negotiation.
Allies, naturally, we need to help each other. Except that France and Portugal were the Allied troops who went off the field in person, the rest were the spontaneous actions of the governments of various countries.
Whether this help has a positive effect or a negative effect requires further research.
Anyway, in Franz's view, without the selfless dedication of allies, the turmoil in Europe would be at most one-third of what it is now.
There is nothing to blame, politics is what it is. The contradictions between European countries have a long history, and even if an alliance is pulled down, it does not mean that the contradictions do not exist.
Opportunities are coming to the door, and there will be problems if you don't make a bad hand. In any case, the British are responsible for the blame, so there is no need to be polite.
Whoever has more enemies, this time is the most intuitive manifestation. Without any accident, the Russian Empire, which was chaotic from the east to the west and from the south, has ascended to the top of the list with absolute advantage.
The riots within the alliance were fierce, but the Vienna government turned a deaf ear. It's not that Franz didn't want to do anything, but his family also participated, and he didn't have the confidence to speak.
Anyway, things have already happened, and it is too late to stop. It is good for everyone to fight with the mud and throw the blame on the British, and maintain the internal unity of the alliance.
Let's make trouble, the British Empire after the Battle of the English Channel is already a "dead at home", and it's okay to clean up later.
No matter how riotous it is outside, as long as there is no turmoil inside Shinra, Franz can sit and watch the world.
Interests are the eternal driving force. Seeing that the British are about to be dismounted and replaced by their own, the Holy Roman Empire is unprecedentedly united.
Just look at how things end up. The anti-war movement in Hanover had just begun when it was suppressed by the state government.
The influence of Britain in the local area has not outweighed the benefits. For their own interests, the Hanoverian aristocracy, the military, and the bourgeoisie took a firm stand in the main battle.
Even the Anglophiles now want to rip off the British in order to inherit the rich legacy of the British Empire.
Anti-war, not only cut off everyone's financial path, but also cut off everyone's future.
The hatred of the road is not shared by the sky.
In this context, anti-war will naturally not have good results.
This is also true of the fact that experts and scholars who called on the whole people to oppose the war were labeled as "British spy" as soon as they chanted a few slogans.
Then, there is no then. In troubled times, the use of heavy codes has offended all interest groups. Even if you can save your life, you can't count on the future.
By contrast, the anti-Russian elements in Prussia were much happier, only being warned.
The anti-Russian movement in Prussia has lasted for decades and has long since become one of the daily activities of the residents.
When a certain day comes, the people will hold a parade every year. Now it's only a few days ahead of schedule, and it's not a big deal at all.
On the surface, it doesn't seem to have any impact, but the political impact is far greater. The anti-Russian elements have not been dealt with, and in the eyes of the outside world, it is a political signal that the Vienna government is anti-Russian.
In a sense, everyone who dared to attack the Russian Empire without hesitation was also affected by this aspect.
Misleading is misleading. Franz will not explain it at this time. It is what the Prussian government has done and has nothing to do with the Vienna government.
Although this is a fact, the Constitution of the Holy Roman Empire clearly stipulates that unless it is a major event involving national security, the central government cannot intervene in the internal affairs of the state unless the state government actively invites it.
The anti-Russian demonstrations obviously do not involve national security. The Prussian government is even less likely to give up its high degree of autonomy for this trivial matter.
Facts are facts, but politics is all about complicating simple things. If you explain it now, it will fall into the eyes of the outside world as "there is no silver 300 taels here".
With this kung fu, it is better to support the Irish independence movement. At least the British can be further attacked and the duration of the war can be shortened.
…
St. Petersburg, with the outbreak of the revolutionary wave, this house of the Russian Empire, which was leaking from all sides, became more and more misty in the wind and rain.
Nicholas II, who has entered middle age, has matured a lot in terms of temperament and political skills, but he is still unable to clean up the current mess.
Wars, strike waves, revolution waves, independence waves, all collided.
In fact, the strike movement in the Russian Empire had been on the rise as early as two months ago.
It's just that the number of people who participated in the strike at that time was not as many as it is now, and it did not spread to the whole country.
With the joint efforts of the tsarist government and the capitalists, the storm was quickly calmed down, but the problems involved were not fundamentally resolved.
Prices are still rising, overtime hours are also increasing, and the only thing that doesn't change is wages.
Originally, a large number of social contradictions had accumulated, and the revolutionary movement supported by the British naturally became the fuse.
But just when the Russian Empire needed help the most, allies jumped out and fell to the ground.
For example, in the Finnish independence movement, in addition to the limited support of the British, the Nordic Commonwealth has contributed more.
Another example: the Polish independence movement, the supporter behind it is the Kingdom of Prussia.
…
These support activities are not limited to spiritual support, but come with real money.
If you investigate further, you will find that the main commander of the rebels was still serving in the military of various countries just a few months ago.
In order to make things happen, people don't want to face, and naturally they will not be afraid of the protests of the tsarist government.
It can only be said that the era of belonging to the Russian Empire is over. Even if the tsarist government has repeatedly declared that it will retaliate in the future, it will not shake everyone's determination to do things.
There is no way, the continental overlord is now the Holy Roman Empire. It doesn't matter if you are secretly doing things in secret. If you want to send troops to attack a sovereign country, you must first ask the boss if he will answer.
In fact, even if the Vienna government did not interfere, the Russian Empire could not do much.
There are too many participating countries, and if it is really one enemy, it is still unknown who will beat whom in the end.
The issue of revenge is not in a hurry, the most urgent task is to pass the current hurdle.
The strike movement that has spread across the country is still intensifying, and strikes have occurred in almost every city with a population of over 100,000.
What worried Nicholas II even more was the endless rebellion at home. As of now, nearly 30 percent of the total population of the Russian Empire has been involved.
Open the map, and at a glance, half of the Russian Empire is planted with the flag of the rebels. If it is not handled well, the Russian Empire will be cold.
"boom!"
The cup in his hand fell to the ground, and the hot coffee splashed everywhere.
"What, the Austrians cut off our strategic supplies?"
Because Nicholas II is not nervous, the strategic materials provided by Shinra have accounted for half of the total materials.
If these materials are suddenly gone, what will be used to fill this gap? If the supply of strategic materials is insufficient, what will the Russian army use to suppress the rebellion, and what will it use...
Foreign Minister Mikhailovich explained: "It is not a complete cut off, but a temporary reduction in the supply of strategic materials to us, which can retain about 10% of the previous share.
The reason given by the Vienna government is: In order to ensure the supply of logistical materials for our army going south, we can only reduce the quota of strategic materials provided to our homeland. "
Hearing this explanation, Nicholas II was instantly choked up. If you want to condemn, there is no way to say it.
Although it is a joint operation, due to geographical factors, the logistics of the Russian army is currently independent of the allied forces.
Now there is a rebellion in Central Asia, and the Russian army in India has lost its way back and can only rely on the Allied forces to support it.
Suddenly there are 800,000 troops, and the strategic materials needed are naturally not a small number. Such a large gap cannot be filled by making up for it.
From the standpoint of the Allies, reducing the input of strategic materials to Russia and using it to fill this hole is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.
Anyway, it was finally used on the Russian army. The Vienna government’s commitment to provide total strategic materials has not been reduced, nor is it a breach of contract.
The problem was on the surface, and Nicholas II could not object. Otherwise, the 800,000 Russian troops on the front line will starve.
However, suppressing domestic rebellion also requires the consumption of a large amount of strategic materials.
In particular, the rebels occupied the Central Asia Railway and the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the strategic materials that the Tsarist government had hoarded along the railway in advance also fell into the hands of the rebels.
Realizing that something was wrong, Nicholas II hurriedly ordered: "Immediately send people to communicate with the Vienna government and ask them to increase the quota of strategic materials."
With little hope, we must try, otherwise, the battle to suppress the domestic rebellion will be difficult to fight.
