Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 1149: Surrender or not?

Views:

The theory of dust will return to theory, and reality will return to reality. It seems that the agreement has been completed and the crisis has passed, but everyone is still in the dark.

Verbal promises are inherently illusory, especially if there is no specific content and ambiguous promises, it is even less guaranteed.

Yamagata Yuto: "Ito-kun, the Vienna government still hasn't agreed with us to withdraw from the war, it's just a temporary truce, and there's not even a formal negotiation.

You must know that Paris, Argentina, Uruguay and other countries have already signed armistice agreements with the Continental Alliance. Although the price to be paid has not yet been determined, countries have indeed withdrawn from the war.

Only the British Empire, the United States of America, and our three countries are still at war with the Continental Alliance.

The dust has not settled for a long time, and no one knows what the Vienna government thinks. What if they turn their faces and don't recognize people? "

This worry is not superfluous. Although the Vienna government has a good reputation, the Japanese government has not reached any substantive agreement with them.

Including the attack on the Russians, the Vienna government only hinted by asking the Japanese government to "show sincerity", but did not explicitly say it.

Whether it is considered "sincere" or not depends entirely on the mood of the Vienna government. If the Vienna government turns its face, the Japanese government has nothing to do.

Ito Hirofumi: "Shanxian-kun, things are not so bad. The British Empire fell, and the Holy Roman Empire was full.

So many colonies, it always takes time to digest. According to intelligence from Europe, the Vienna government even planned to abandon India.

In the case of absolute advantage, abandoning the most prosperous India is definitely not only to win over allies, but more likely to be the strategic core.

As a colonial empire, the colonial policy adopted by the Vienna government is undoubtedly more long-term. Colonies are also mostly selected in areas with relatively small population and rich resources, and rarely touch densely populated areas.

This strategy has proven to be very successful indeed. Not only did they avoid competing with foreign powers in the early days of colonization, but during the colony's operation, Shinra's colonies also had the least problems.

There are successful cases, just follow the same routine to copy, there is no need to change at all.

Not only are we densely populated, economically backward, and resource-poor, we also have frequent volcanic eruptions, and we do not have strategic value to deserve the peeping of the Vienna government.

In this context, as long as we don't kill ourselves, there won't be a big problem. "

It's sad to think about it, "economic backwardness, lack of resources, frequent volcanoes" have all become advantages.

But in the face of survival, none of this is worth mentioning. Just like the "sea spider", as long as I have no value, I am not afraid of being peeped.

Being able to accept the reality calmly is mainly because Japan has suffered enough since the Meiji Restoration.

It's nothing more than being ravaged by foreign powers on a daily basis, and a little problem is not worth worrying about. As long as it does not involve core interests, it can be tolerated.

What hit confidence the most was the obstruction of the strategy. First, he went south to invade the Philippines and was driven back by the foreign powers; he finally gathered the courage to launch a war against Russia, and then caught up with the world war.

The camps of the powers were divided, and Japan, which was passively standing in line, unfortunately followed the wrong boss, ruining the naval family that had been painstakingly accumulated.

Watching the collapse of the Ocean Alliance, but unable to do anything, the Japanese government's expectations naturally dropped again and again.

Even ultra-nationalists are not arrogant in time and space. "Conquer East Asia and dominate the world", let's wash and sleep, and everything can be achieved when you fall asleep.

Faced with the current complicated situation, the Japanese government discussed and discussed, and finally came up with the most helpless strategy - pretending to be a grandson.

The Japanese government's choice has been ignored, and now the world's attention is focused on the British Isles.

Negotiations are negotiations, and the war will continue. The two big hooligans are the kings of playing international politics, and it is impossible to delay time by negotiating.

Until the next party is defeated, or an armistice agreement is reached, the Continental Alliance's attack on Britain will only strengthen and not weaken.

Different from the early days of the war, countries were dragged to the battlefield by the Vienna government. Now the situation is clear and the underdogs are beaten, and everyone is rushing to it.

The most striking is the Indian battlefield, the situation is the same every day. The British colonial government was incapable of defending India, not to mention the more unbearable Congress party.

Those who didn’t know thought it was an independent organization in India. In fact, the founders of the Congress Party were all retired British Indian officials. The current political proposition is limited to the implementation of the representative system.

Independence is something that happened after World War II. Right now, it is still a good baby. It is closely united with the British Indian colonial government and safeguards the colonial rule of the British Empire.

Even if India became independent after World War II, it was forced by the international situation. The declining Britain could not fight against the United States and the Soviet Union was forced to compromise.

The Congress Party's role is to protest, demonstrate, communicate, compromise, and then take over power. The most famous resistance movement that broke out was the "Non-violent Non-cooperation Movement" led by Gandhi.

Without the cooperation of international public opinion, the "non-violent non-cooperation movement" is a joke.

Now the Continental Alliance represents the international community, and more than 80 percent of the countries in the world are part of the alliance. It is self-evident who the international public opinion will support.

Chaos is chaos. As the offensive party, the mainland coalition has never expected the Indians to cooperate.

At this time, playing the "non-violent non-cooperation movement" and "hunger hunger strike", it is estimated that the top leaders of the alliance may not necessarily know what happened, let alone compromise.

Anyway, India's population is large enough, and it is drizzle if it is less than eight million, and there is no feeling at all.

"Resistance by force" is really embarrassing. If we had made everyone independent sooner, we might have been able to fight the coalition forces.

Now just after the declaration of independence, the coalition forces have killed it. How can this make the new Indian government suffer

Know that they have not even completed the transfer of power, let alone organized effective resistance. In addition to having an independent title, the resistance was the colonial army.

If you change to a country with strong nationalism, it may be able to explode with amazing potential under the stimulus of independence.

Unfortunately, India obviously does not have such conditions. If nationalism was strong, Britain would not be able to colonize India.

Unless the mind can be emancipated and the caste system can be broken, otherwise the people will not be able to organize effective resistance because of their submissive nature.

London's decision based on past experience has not only failed to arouse Indians' sense of resistance, but has instead brought greater chaos to India.

Without the constraints of the British bureaucracy, the Congress Party, which has just taken over part of its power, is obviously not up to the task of unifying the country.

If it is in a peaceful era, it is enough to slowly run in and grow. The current situation is obviously not suitable. The result of hasty intervention is that local power has fallen into the hands of Brahmins and Kshatriyas.

This is not the end, thanks to the continuous digging of holes in India by Britain in the past, deliberately creating a large number of racial conflicts and religious conflicts, which made the nascent Indian government even worse.

Under the combined effect of this series of factors, the situation in India has naturally plummeted. If nothing else, India will change hands before Christmas.

Without India there would be no British Empire, this is the consensus of the whole world. Seeing the fall of India, the Lord's War faction in the British Isles completely extinguished the fire.

India is gone, what's next

The Holy Roman Empire has become a general trend, and countries around the world are vying to act as its wings. Whether it is attacking Australia, New Zealand, or capturing Canada, it is not difficult.

Without overseas colonies, everyone has no idea how long the British Isles can last.

In this cruel world, there are very few people who give help in the snow, and more people who fall into trouble. However, Britain likes to do things all over the place, and its enemies are all over the world.

With the increasing clarity of the war, countries around the world have drawn a line from Britain and joined the blockade team.

If you want to get supplies, you can only smuggle them in the black market. Even this only channel is not smooth.

It's not that the capitalists are ineffective, it's that the risks are too great. Governments of various countries have been severely warned by the Continental Alliance that doing business with the British at this time will all be regarded as British comrades.

In order to avoid suspicion, countries have to devote 12% of their efforts to suppressing smuggling, so as not to be affected by Chiyu.

Overseas trade lines are cut off. If there is no more colonial supplies to replenish, what will Britain use to fight

Others aside, food alone is a big problem. With the productivity of these years, the food produced by the British Isles simply cannot support the 40 million people on the islands.

Iron-like will, but not enough to be hungry. Once the reserves were exhausted, it was time for the collapse of the British Empire.

Home Secretary Azevedo: "We implemented the rationing system three months ago, but it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the predicament we are currently facing.

The war has been going on for almost a year, and the domestic reserves have been consumed very quickly. Especially food, can last up to two more months.

If there is no replenishment, we will be sad this Christmas.

The public opinion of the people is also very unfavorable to us. The anti-war wave has resounded across the British Isles, and now is the time to think about ending the war. "

"Ending the war" is not the first time someone has mentioned it. As early as six months ago, there were calls for an end to this wrong war.

At that time, the London government and the Vienna government had a secret talk, but unfortunately the two sides were too big. The Vienna government not only wanted hegemony, but also demanded that Britain give up one-third of its colonies, which ended in vain.

Two months ago, the situation collapsed, anti-war voices rose, and the two sides held secret talks again.

Britain was able to accept the armistice conditions proposed by the Vienna government last time, but unfortunately the appetite of the Vienna government has grown.

Not only limited to the colonies, but even the idea of splitting the British Isles. Of course, there is room for negotiation here.

However, when it comes to the mainland, the British government does not dare to agree. If the British Isles were to be divided up by accepting the terms of the Vienna government, I am afraid that the angry people would be able to start a revolution.

Now that the situation has completely collapsed, and if the negotiations are restarted, it can no longer be considered a negotiation. Britain's capital has lost seven to eighty-eight, and the strength of the two sides has been completely unbalanced.

Foreign Secretary Adam shrugged: "Your Excellency, when will the war end, the initiative is no longer in the hands of the Empire. If we want to end the war immediately, unless we surrender."

"Surrender" is a word that is both familiar and unfamiliar. It is not that Britain has not experienced defeat, nor has it not surrendered to the enemy.

It is only in the last hundred years that Britain has been crowned world hegemon. Even if they lose on the battlefield, it is nothing more than a truce to stop the loss, and it is definitely not the point of surrendering to the enemy.

This time is different. Britain has lost the capital to continue fighting. Once the war continues, Britain will really lose its pants.

Weak countries have no diplomacy, Adam's experience is the most profound. As Britain's foreign secretary, Adam has seen the "helplessness" of a weak country's diplomatic envoys in negotiations more than once.

It's just that he never dreamed that such a tragic scene would one day be staged in Britain.

Campbell: "Whether it is war or peace, we have no power to make decisions on behalf of the 40 million British people, let's put it to Parliament for discussion!"
