Holy Roman Empire - Chapter 1131
The little stories that happened on the Persian front did not attract the attention of the Vienna government. Different identities have different perspectives.
In Franz’s view, whether it is borrowing the way or coaxing the Russian army to attack Persia, it can only be regarded as a small problem.
The Russians drool at India, not a day or two. Regardless of what the top tsarist government thinks now, the nobles and bureaucrats in the country can no longer stand it.
Even if the Far East battlefield restrains hands and feet, it cannot stop the Russians’ ambitions for India. Especially after the Shenluo Navy won a big victory in the Malacca naval battle, the Russians’ confidence in the Continental Alliance to win the war directly rose to bursts.
Within the Russian Empire, the voices of the main combatants have already hit the sky. The Russian aristocrats are now most worried about: “It’s late, the British surrendered.”
This is not without aim. The European War before this was the case, and the French surrendered without waiting for their efforts.
The British Empire is much thicker than France, and India alone makes the Russians want to stop. If you are too late and missed the opportunity to carve up India, there is no regret medicine.
Against this background, the Russian army on the front line will not only not obstruct, but may even join the boat directly.
Anyway, it is not the first time that Russia and Austria have joined forces. According to past cases, not only is the logistics guaranteed, but the food standard is even higher.
As for political issues, people from different positions have different views. Perhaps in the eyes of the main fighters, it is the “national thief” who hinders the launch of the war.
Once established facts were created, with Nicholas II’s indecisive character, he could do nothing but pinch his nose to recognize it.
The Russians have joined the war, do you need to worry about cannon fodder? The big deal is to draw a piece from India after the war and give it to the Russians.
It is the European battlefield that now attracts Franz’s attention. The military is no longer satisfied with the bombing of the British Isles. The land, sea and air jointly developed a grand strategy to land on the British Isles.
“Is it too urgent to land on the British Isles now?”
I have to admit that air supremacy is a good thing. The Holy Roman Empire, which controls air supremacy, beat the British at the beginning of the war.
So that in the absence of mastery of the sea, the Shenluo military also prepared to forcibly land.
Once the landing is successful, the war has entered a countdown. With a group of temporarily conscripted militiamen, there is no way to stop the attack of the Shinra Army.
But landing is not easy. Don’t look at the British performance now very poorly, it’s just that they have not adapted to this war.
If it really reacted, John Bull would not be so easy to deal with. Even if you can’t turn over the game, you can at least struggle twice.
Chief of Staff Morks: “Your Majesty, this is the best choice to end the war in a short time.
The British have not yet reacted. Their thinking mode is still in the period of the European War. This is the best opportunity.
As long as we successfully complete the landing, we will be able to defeat the British and win the war within three months.
If we play according to the conventional method, without a year or two, it is difficult for us to win this war.
In order to be able to win the war in the shortest time and minimize the war losses, it is acceptable to take a little risk. “
“Fighting a world war in three months” is exciting to think about, which is obviously just hanging up.
If the war were to end in such a short period of time, the British allies would basically be considered for nothing.
Anyway, Franz does not think that the American countries can complete the mobilization in just three months and put troops on the European battlefield.
Of course, in this way, the previous tactics of breaking the deal were in vain. No matter how the blockade is, there are still three-month supplies in the British Isles.
In this regard, Franz has no special requirements. As long as he can win the war, he can accept it regardless of his style of play.
After hesitating again and again, Franz said slowly: “Then try it first, but the plan should be more careful. You can’t let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes and cause too much casualties to the offensive troops.”
Facts have proved that every politician does not lack risk genes. The only difference lies in whether the genes are dominant or recessive.
Forcibly landed on the British Isles, it seemed that there was no problem, but in reality there were many hidden dangers.
The main force of the Royal Navy is still there, and the British Air Force also retains a certain amount of strength. If they find an opportunity, the possibility of heavy losses is very high.
The failure of the original time-space “Sea Lion Project” was also caused by many factors. The seeds were planted in advance during the Dunkirk operation.
Of course, the most important thing is that a guy’s brain suddenly turned: the focus of the air raid was turned to bombing London, which gave the British Air Force a respite and put the danger to the brink.
Naturally, Franz would not ignore the lessons of history. Although the Shenluo Air Force is also bombing London, its strategic purpose is completely different.
The German III bombing of London was aimed at the command system, trying to use the bombing to throw London into chaos, collapse the British command system and force the British to surrender.
The bombing by the Shinra Air Force was much simpler, it was directed at the British Air Force, and the main purpose was to trap and kill the main British Air Force.
In essence, the bombing of London was a cover. The actual target of the bombing was the British heavy industry system.
In Franz’s view, the significance of blowing up a large steel factory is no less than annihilating a division of British troops; destroying a shipyard is far more meaningful than sinking a battleship.
In the case of the wet nurse’s inability, once they lost their own hematopoietic mechanism, it was only a matter of time before the British were defeated.
With a more certain choice, Franz will naturally not take risks. But now is different, the risk has been reduced to a controllable range.
The worst result is the loss of a few ships and tens of thousands of troops, which is completely affordable for the current Holy Roman Empire.
…
The launch of the “Sea Lion Project” of the Shenluo version does not mean that the previous strategy is invalidated. It is not contradictory in itself, it is entirely possible to proceed at the same time.
Changing the strategic plan at will is absolutely a big taboo in the military. For example, the so-and-so is because the East Hammer and the West have lost the country.
Having learned the lessons of history, Franz has always been cautious on the issue of strategy.
It seems that the Holy Roman Empire has many strategies. It seems that there are key points everywhere, and it seems that there are no key points, but in fact it is not.
In the choice of strategy, big countries and small countries are completely different. A small country is limited by its national power, and it’s done by choosing a direction and slamming.
Don’t expect to turn around or change halfway, because small countries often only have one chance, and failure is the end.
In contrast, big countries are different. Abundant national power can support multiple strategies at the same time, and even if one or two of them fail, it will not hurt.
Compared with Britain, the Holy Roman Empire already has an advantage in national power, and it is not surprising that multiple strategies have been launched at the same time.
Careful study will reveal that the previous series of strategic plans of the Shenluo military have one common feature: weakening Britain’s war potential.
…
As the sun sets, only the afterglow of the sunset glow is left. Two ships with the British flag on the sea, one behind the other, approached Cam Ranh Bay.
From the artillery full of vicissitudes, it can be vaguely judged that the ship behind is a warship. The warship was so close behind the merchant ship, it looked weird.
Closer and closer, the steel wire rope connecting the merchant ship and the warship was exposed to everyone’s sight. It turned out that the warship was being dragged forward by the merchant ship.
The warship finally entered the port. The surviving officers and soldiers on the warship breathed a sigh of relief. As the lucky one who survived the Malacca naval battle, Hayate also paid a heavy price.
From the dense bullet marks on the surface, it can be seen that the Hayate has been destroyed. If you look closely, you will find that the draft of the Hayate is exceptionally deep, as if it is overloaded.
Overloading is impossible, and everything that can be discarded on the ship in order to escape is abandoned on the way.
Since it is not overloaded, the result is very obvious. Fortunately, the Hayate uses a closed cabin design, otherwise the warship alone could kill people.
Perhaps it was because he ran too high while escaping, and after getting rid of the enemy’s chasing soldiers, Hayate’s power system was directly paralyzed.
If it hadn’t happened to encounter a British merchant ship halfway down the road, the Hayate, which had probably escaped, would have become a ghost ship.
As soon as the warship came to a stop, the maintenance personnel boarded the ship for inspection and repair. It can be seen from the response speed that the maintenance engineer is definitely experienced. Obviously it is not the first time that this situation has been encountered.
The results of the Malacca naval battle have already been passed on. After the remaining Royal Navy experienced the initial chaos, it quickly entered the state.
Anyway, life is always going to be passed. The outcome of the naval battle cannot be changed, but the aftermath still needs to be done.
The main force of the Far East Fleet was completely lost, and it was considered dead in name. Naturally, reinforcements could not be sent out. The only thing that could be done was to promptly repair the surviving warships.
No flowers, no applause, and no welcome party. As can be seen from the tense atmosphere, the situation in Cam Ranh Bay is not optimistic.
But this was a small problem for Colonel Nigel, who had just escaped from the dead. It is God blessed to be able to save a life, who can care about the situation.
Even if you want to think about the future, it’s after going back to sleep and relax completely.
…
Colonel Nigel said blankly: “Your Excellency, the above is the whole process of the Malacca naval battle.
This is not a war at all. We have been passively beaten from beginning to end, and we have not even organized a decent counterattack.
After Admiral Michel gave an order to disperse and retreat, we separated, and no one answered the telegram sent later.
When retreating, most of the enemy’s fighters launched an offensive around the capital ship, and most of the Elizabeth was killed. “
It can be seen that Colonel Nigel has been hit hard. There is no spirit of vigor as in the past, the whole body is full of decadence, and the tone is full of “despair”.
There is no way, the Royal Navy lost too badly in the Malacca naval battle. Not only has the arrogance of the past gone, but also everyone has no confidence in the future.
Colonel Nigel is one of them. In his opinion, with the strong rise of the air force, the navy will have less and less room to play in future wars.
However, the Holy Roman Empire is the world’s largest air force power, leaving Britain far behind in the field of aviation.
In the next battle, if there is no way to get the enemy’s air force, no matter how strong the Royal Navy is, it will be difficult for it to exert its true strength.
No desire, no desire, since he has lost confidence in the future and held accountability for what may happen next, Colonel Nigel will naturally be in Buddhism.
It was not a deserter on the battlefield. Nigel ran away with the Hayate after receiving the retreat order.
He would be worthy of the British Empire if he was able to bring back the “Hurry”. If you want more things, it’s hard for others.
However, there is always someone to carry the black pot, and the best choice is naturally the fleet commander Admiral Michel.
But this guy has mostly seen God, and is tolerant to the dead. Now that Michelle has been killed on the battlefield, even if there is a big mistake, it has been wiped out.
It is only the living person who bears the responsibility, and the smaller the background background, the higher the rank and position, the more likely an officer will become a scapegoat.
Unfortunately, Colonel Nigel is one of the scapegoat candidates. After all, most of the battleships higher than him were on the battleship, and the battleships sank to the bottom of the sea.
“Colonel Nigel, come here first today. What you need now is to go back and take a hot bath, then take a good night’s sleep, or go out and relax.”
Without getting the news he wanted, Governor Evans still didn’t mean to embarrass Nigel. Accountability is a matter of the future, and now everyone can’t take care of that much.
With the end of the Malacca naval battle, the international structure in East Asia was completely broken, and Cam Ranh Bay was no longer safe.
The enemy may come at any time, and with Britain’s power in Indochina, there is almost no possibility of victory.
Once the Indo-China Peninsula falls, Sir Evans, as the governor, will also become one of the unfortunate ones.
The same is the end of the world who has fallen, so why is it too anxious.
You can tell by looking at the eye circles that Governor Evans has not slept well in the past few days. Perhaps the British Empire still has a chance to comeback, but the British colony of the Indochina Peninsula has no possibility of counterattack.
…
The world is not changed by personal will. For the British, the situation in East Asia continues to deteriorate.
The British Far East Fleet, which used to be arrogant and noisy, has now become a bereaved dog, chased all over the world by the Ocean Alliance.
Yes, Spain and the Netherlands also participated in the war. Victory is the easiest to stimulate people’s nerves, and the reluctant West and Holland have also changed their original ideas.
Anyway, I have already boarded the ship, why not seek the best benefit for myself? The opportunity to beat a dog in the water is rare, so naturally you can’t miss it.
