Mediterranean Hegemony Road - v6 Chapter 15

Under Ferdinand’s butterfly effect, after the First World War, the major states of Germany broke away from the control of the central government, and only maintained nominal unity.

People of insight in Germany hoped that the German region would be reunified once again, and countless people worked hard to this end. Ten years have passed, and now we finally see the dawn.

In order to get rid of the current predicament, the German states understand that union is the best choice.

Rather than erupting a meaningless civil war, it is better to turn this into an external war and use the war to divert domestic contradictions.

On March 23, 1937, the Kingdom of Prussia announced its restoration, and the eldest son of William II will become the new king, planning to ascend the throne on June 5.

Everyone knows that this is a major concession made by the German central government. In order to reunify the empire again, the old king-selection system will once again return to the land of Germany.

Austria, the most influential German prince, was excluded this time.

Of course, even if it is not excluded, the Hapsburg family will not go together to make this lively, the current German is a gunpowder barrel.

Everyone is waiting for the attitudes of the two countries. If they do not interfere, German unification will be inevitable.

Sofia

Ferdinand Jr. held an imperial conference in an emergency. The restoration of William III happened too suddenly. The Bulgarian government did not figure out what was going on.

Usually, this situation is indispensable to the British, and Bulgaria cannot ignore it.

“There are two issues that need us to make a decision:

First, should we interfere in the restoration of William III?

Second, what should we do in the face of reunified Germany?

Judging from the current situation, even if the restoration of William III is prevented, it can only delay the process of German reunification.

The German central government has made concessions, and the interests of the states have been guaranteed. Now everyone except the Polish people who want to get rid of Germany wants the country to be unified.

This is the general trend. Even if the states and the central government still have deep conflicts, as the German economy deteriorates, they have no choice.

The result is now clear that the war has entered the countdown, but the direction of the Germans’ war is still uncertain! Ferdinand Little said cautiously

“His Majesty, the restoration of William III is a trivial matter, and German internal contradictions are not so easy to resolve.

Want to integrate the power of all states, the German central government can not do it, conflicts of interest can not be resolved with a few patriotic slogans!

It can be imagined that for a long time in the future, the Germans will have to worry about internal problems and want to make a difference in the world, at least ten years later! Coleman analyzed

“Mr. Coleman, you missed the British and Germans’ domestic economic situation. The funds they received by anti-oil support up to 1941.

Before that, they must find a way out of the country!

But now there is no way ahead. The world has been divided up. The situation they face is more sinister than before World War I.

This time they did n’t even have the cruelty, the overseas colonies did not have their share, and the market in continental Europe was snatched by us again.

Apart from transferring conflicts through war, they have no better choice.

The British are probably hopeful that Germany and Italy can teach the French a lesson and force the French government to bow their heads. This is another reason to wage war!

The restoration of William III has little to do with us, but the Germans may break the European order. I have to prepare in advance! Secretary of Defense Kobot objected

“So when do you think the Germans will provoke war? Who was the first to target it, first against the neutrals, or directly against the French?” Ferdinand asked with concern.

“His Majesty, I think as long as Germany is reunified, even if there is only one nominal emperor, they will take action.

The first goal is likely to be the Kingdom of New Poland. After the victory, they may continue to work against the three Baltic states.

If no one stops, it is estimated that they will continue to take action against the Netherlands and Belgium. This depends on the attitude of the British.

As long as victory can be achieved on the battlefield, domestic conflicts will be suppressed. In terms of strength, it is not difficult for the Germans to pinch a few soft persimmons.

However, the tragedy in Italy next door is difficult. Several of their neighbors are not easy to mess with. France and Austria-Hungary will not win, and they should not mess with it.

Although Switzerland is a small country, its military strength is among the best in small countries. This hard bone is not good enough! Corbett analyzes

Yes, compared with the Germans, Italy is really a tragedy, and none of the surrounding enemies is provoking, that is, Switzerland looks a bit bullied.

But the only country that seems to be bullying is still barbed. With all the people in the army, Switzerland’s 4 million people can also mobilize 700,000 to 800,000 troops.

If not, the Italians are going to die again. Even now that the Italians are working hard, the outside world is still not optimistic about their military capabilities.

After all, Swiss mercenaries have been in Europe for hundreds of years, and they have long jumped to the top of the list.

Can’t fight?

Answer: OK!

Just as a price, the Kingdom of Italy is likely to collapse early!

Unless the Germans act quickly, they will team up to go to France, and when they recover their lost ground, plus the war compensation, the crisis in Italy can be solved.

“Italy, we can ignore them first. Their strength is limited. It is okay to fight behind the Germans. If we act alone, we can refer to the Ethiopian War!” Ferdinand Jr. said with a smile.

Is Ethiopia strong? Just looking at them defeating the great powers of Italy that year, it seems that they are really strong, but now they are being beaten by the new Greek kingdom.

Now the situation is deadlocked, that is, the new Greek Kingdom, which has many people and a population of less than one million, has no way to fight them.

“Your Majesty, if possible, we should delay the outbreak of the war as much as possible, the longer the time is more powerful for us!” The Minister of Finance suggested

Ferdinand Jr. nodded and acknowledged that the current situation is good for Bulgaria and there is no need to rush to break it.

“Your Majesty, maybe we let the Germans move freely and better, without giving them a little courage, I’m afraid they have no courage to challenge the French!

The Poles are too frightening. Our allies have long seen them as displeasing. If not for the impact, the Kingdom of Poland would not have existed in the world! Proposed Prime Minister Tolski

Idealism kills people, it can be said that the Great Poland strategy killed the Kingdom of New Poland.

The diplomats offended their neighbors, but they still do n’t know. Before the German invasion of Poland in history, the Poles clamored for “three days to destroy Germany”, and then they were killed by the Germans.

So now that the kingdom of Poland is betrayed, there is no pressure on Ferdinand. In the initial strategy of Bulgaria, they became abandoned.

“Then let Germany do things first. We are neutral and see how the French respond!” Ferdinand Little said indifferently.

…

Bulgaria can watch dramas and the Eastern European Union can watch dramas. That is, they all know that the contradictions between Germany and France cannot be solved, and they must fight to solve the problem.

Neutral small countries have limited strength. If they fail to meet their opinions, it is better not to publish them. If they are published, they may cause trouble.

The French have been embarrassed since Bulgaria announced that they respect the choices of the German people, and the choice of this issue has come to their hands.

Whether or not to restrict Germany has become their top priority.

Paris

“His Excellency, we cannot always let the Germans grow bigger. Once they are unified, I will be under great pressure.

This time the British chose Germany and Italy. Bulgaria was unwilling to conflict with the British prematurely, and we became victims.

If their plans are fulfilled, war will break out, and France has no allies this time! Prime Minister Daraday frowned.

“Mr. Faraday, I know this issue. The most troublesome thing now is not the Germans, but the domestic anti-war doctrine.

We announced that it would be easy to interfere in the restoration of William III. What if the Germans did not listen?

Should we intervene with force? Can the parliament pass? How should the French people explain it?

If these problems are not resolved, what we do is useless work. Apart from being able to consume our international influence, we will not see any hope of success! Albert Lebron said with a grin.

“Her President, war is inevitable. The longer the delay, the more the Germans will recover.

Coupled with a Kingdom of Italy, and the British support behind the scenes, our national defense pressure will be very great in the future. Once the war breaks out, I am afraid that the outcome will be unexpected! Faraday said cautiously

“I also know about this issue ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Isn’t there still Bulgaria? It will be a big deal to drag them into the water. Since the British dare to do the first day, we can do 15!

If France is going to fall, then we will pull the enemy to hell. Let’s release the news first and see how the British react.

I don’t believe that John Bull would care about the world hegemony for a so-called Western European Union? “Albert Lebrun said dryly.

France’s greatest enemy is always the French themselves. No external force can destroy France. Only they can destroy themselves.

Now anti-war **** has restricted the hands and feet of the French government, forcing them to adopt a policy of appeasement and watching Germany grow stronger.

The words of Albert Lebron threatening the British are actually poor.

…

On June 5, 1937, William III was restored and crowned as the new king of Prussia. The Second World War was imminent.
