The countries of the European continent pitted the Russians together, the Continental Alliance fell into infighting, and the Ocean Alliance finally got a short respite.
The first to benefit is Japan. Unlike the smooth sailing of the original time and space, the Russo-Japanese War this time was full of twists and turns.
Especially after the defeat of the Malacca naval battle, the Spanish navy came to look for trouble every three to five, making the Japanese Empire almost collapse.
The safety of the route is threatened, the transport fleet is often attacked, and the supply of logistics materials is insufficient, and the Japanese army on the front line will naturally be affected.
If it weren't for the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers, I'm afraid the front line would have collapsed long ago. Even so, the battle line retreated all the way from Vladivostok to the Yalu River.
The shadow of failure loomed over the Japanese, and desperation continued to spread, and the Japanese government had even begun to prepare for a way back.
At this critical moment, the Spanish Navy, which was active in the Sea of Japan and often engaged in things, suddenly stopped coming.
Immediately after the news of the chaos in Europe came, the Japanese government's heart that had sunk to the bottom became active again.
Especially after receiving the news of the interruption of the Trans-Siberian railway, the Japanese felt that they could do it again. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for European countries to pit the Russians together.
…
"Don't be busy and optimistic, the situation has not fundamentally changed, and from a global perspective, the Ocean Alliance is still at a disadvantage.
The infighting in the Continental Union is not fierce. With the Vienna government pressing on it, the countries are at best secretly playing tricks.
Now countries are targeting each other, in addition to the contradictions accumulated in the past, mainly for the distribution of spoils.
But the prerequisite for sharing the spoils is winning the war. On the point of winning the war, the positions of the European countries were the same.
The most important thing is the current disputes, and the Holy Roman Empire is not directly involved. If the conflict continues to escalate, the Vienna government will definitely come forward to mediate.
Our priority now is not to defeat the Russians, let alone to establish colonies, but to find a way to survive.
We can't 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 was poured down, dousing the military's blind optimism, and Ito Hirobumi only felt tired.
The situation in the Far East battlefield has indeed reversed, but behind this reversal, the factors of human manipulation are too obvious.
The Siberian railway was interrupted, and the Russian army's logistics supply had problems, but the Japanese army's logistics was not much better.
If it weren't for the enemy's navy to deliberately release water, it would be difficult for the Japanese government to send strategic materials to the front line, so what else could be said
Defeated the Russians, annexed the Far East, and then plotted the whole of East Asia.
Such a strategic plan, Ito Bowen dared not even think about it. Unless the Ocean Alliance wins the war, Japan, the victorious nation, may have a chance to take a few steps forward.
If the Ocean Alliance is defeated, as a loser in the war, it would be good for Japan to keep its homeland, and the colony should not be considered.
Yamaxian Yuto: "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 imminent defeat.
I have studied the history of wars in Europe. 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, is the real alternative.
No matter how bad the foundation of the British Empire is, there will always be no problem in competing with the Holy Roman Empire for three to five years.
By the time they decide the winner, we will have a firm foothold in the Far East. Pay and benefits are not proportional, and the Austrians will not go on expeditions. "
There is nothing wrong with the fact that the confrontations between the camps in European history have lasted for a long time.
The main reason is the limitation of productivity. Everyone's national strength is limited and cannot support long-term continuous operations.
Usually it's fighting, and both sides can't hold it anymore, so they go home first, and continue to work after a while.
In the 19th century, the situation changed. The previous anti-French war is a typical example of this.
Both sides can support millions of troops in full-time combat, and a direct confrontation will do, and there is no need to engage in so many cutscenes.
Times are different, and past historical experience, just refer to it. If you are addicted to it, it is inevitable to be led astray.
These problems are not unexpected for the military. The main reason is that the interests are moving, and those who are addicted to it are already obsessed by the authorities.
On the one hand, we have to deal with international changes, and on the other hand, we have to suppress the thoughts that the domestic military should not have.
…
Compared with Japan's radicalism, other members of the Ocean Alliance are much more rational.
Europe is indeed in chaos, but the chaos is within control. Only the Russian Empire is really out of control.
Obviously, the countries saw that the victory of the war was imminent, and kicked the Russians out in advance, reducing one fight for the spoils.
What's more, it's not just the Continental Alliance that is in chaos, the Ocean Alliance also caught fire in the backyard.
Britain was caught in the double impact of the strike against the war and the Irish independence movement. The British Empire also needed time to put out the fire, and was unable to launch a comprehensive counterattack in a short period of time.
The United States was even more troubled. Not only did an anti-war wave break out, but some states even unilaterally announced their withdrawal from the war.
Join if you want to join, and quit if you want to quit, like a child who hasn't grown up, is willful.
Mexico and Colombia, which were hit by the war, responded even more intensely.
On July 24, 1905, a coup occurred in Bogota, the original republican government fell, and the new government was actively conducting diplomatic actions to withdraw from the war.
I don’t know if I can get out of it all. Anyway, the Vienna government is very proud of the first country to withdraw from the Ocean Alliance. The front line has ceased fire, and we are waiting for the outcome of the negotiations.
Since the fall of the Massimiliano regime, Mexico has been caught in a melee of warlords, and the central government is only a nominal unity.
Such a country obviously does not have the ability to wage war abroad.
The United Kingdom and the United States have made great efforts to maintain the Mexican republic until now. Without the intervention of international forces, the restoration of Massimiliano with the support of the Vienna government would have been successful long ago.
Participation in this war was entirely due to the pressure from the boss behind him, and the fact that the United States did send reinforcements, so he mustered up the courage to stud.
Then the tragedy started to happen. The elite troops of the United States, who had high hopes, staged a flower-style gift as soon as they entered the battlefield.
Although the Mexican army is also a rabble, but the civil war has been fought a lot, and everyone's combat effectiveness has not increased much, but the ability to save lives on the battlefield has increased.
A strange scene appeared. It was also defeated, and the casualties of the Mexican army were less than one-third of the US military. You must know that the Mexican army who participated in the war was twice as many as the US military.
The blinding casualty figures fell into the eyes of the Mexican warlords, and they came to the conclusion that "the elite combat effectiveness of the United States is not as good as their own".
As soon as this conclusion came out, everyone lost confidence in the Ocean Alliance winning the war, at least there was no hope for the Central American battlefield.
For their own benefit, one by one is preparing the way back. Some guys who were originally inclined towards the monarchy even publicly displayed the banner of Massimiliano.
South American countries are also not peaceful. Brazil, Chile, and Argentina, known as the "three powers in South America", also erupted in massive anti-war demonstrations.
Although the pro-British faction is powerful, the pro-Austrian faction is not for nothing. In the past, Britain had the advantage of sea power, and everyone didn't mind getting a little cheaper. Now that the situation has reversed, of course, it will change its face.
Originally, I was annoyed that there was no breakthrough on the battlefield, but now I can only be happy. There is no breakthrough on the battlefield, which means that too much substantial damage has not been caused.
The lower the damage, the lower the hatred of pulling, and the lower the price to pay to smooth the hatred.
Shameless, you can also put the blame on the British, claiming that he was forced to be involved "in Cao Ying and in Han".
Submit a nomination form, throw away a few scapegoats, and make some losses, and the matter is over.
Similar cases have long been seen in European history. The American countries were born out of Europe, and naturally they were not less affected.
For many countries in the Ocean Alliance, the European Union is in civil strife, which is the best opportunity for everyone to get off the ship.
Missing this point in time, and then want to retreat, the price you need to pay, is not such a star and a half.
Looking at the busyness of Shinra's foreign ministry, you know that something big will happen soon.
…
As if stimulated, Minister of the Army Feslav: "Now launch a landing operation, this is impossible!
The strength of the British still exists, and the risk of landing is too great without destroying the enemy's air force and navy. "
The "Sea Lion Project" is not easy to implement. The original time and space German three empires failed. Although the situation of Shinra is better now, the main force of the British navy and air force is still good.
In the event that the landing is halfway through, the enemy suddenly bursts out with all his might, and things will break out.
Any great country can burst out with unparalleled power when it lives or dies.
The British Empire that dominates the world is not the sick cow of later generations. In times of crisis, there is absolutely no lack of desperate spirit.
Foreign Minister Leo: "Your Excellency, don't get excited. The risks of landing operations are indeed great, but the benefits are also great!
There is no need to directly occupy the British Isles, as long as the landing is completed, even if the landing location is a little off.
With such a long coastline in the British Isles, there is always something that the enemy cannot take into account. 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 the members of the Ocean Alliance, and some people are already tempted, but they still have the last shreds of illusions about the British.
As long as their last illusion is cut off, the Ocean Alliance will soon collapse. Combined with the other countries we secretly wooed, it is enough to set off a wave of anti-British all over the world.
At that time, there may be no need to attack, and the British themselves will be forced to surrender under internal and external pressure.
Even if there are risks, compared with the rich benefits, it is enough to carry out this adventure. The big deal is to send the troops of the allied countries first, and now it is time for them to contribute. "
There is no problem, allies are used to pit. The hegemonic war has been going on until now, and only one Russia has really been trapped. No one dares to believe it.
Now it's time to take risks, and it makes sense to let allies go first. Without sacrifice, how can you be qualified to share the spoils
You must know that this war was mainly fought by Shinra, and everyone just followed suit.
Feslav fell into contemplation, politics and military are not the same. The "Sea Lion Project" was formulated by the military and is obviously more weighted than the military.
Militarily, to defeat the British Empire, it was enough to take London, and the rest of the little countryside didn't matter at all.
But politically, it was completely different. It didn’t matter where the coalition landed from, or whether the follow-up operations could keep up, as long as it gained a foothold in the British Isles, it would be considered a successful landing.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can take this achievement and openly fool the governments of the countries that have fallen into hesitation to help everyone make the right decision.
"You can try, but..."
