Mediterranean Hegemony Road - v6 Chapter 24

Mess, the world is going to mess!

As Bulgaria took over the Dutch government in exile, everyone knew that the Eastern European Union and the Western European Union would sooner or later go to war.

This time will not be too long. The only thing that cannot be determined now is whether the two major alliances are in a scuffle or whether Britain and Bulgaria are heads-up.

The British Isles are lonely overseas. This is their advantage and their disadvantage. The navy is strong and weak, and the partial division is too serious.

Even if they fail on the European continent, their homeland can still be intact, which is the confidence of the British Empire.

“Your Majesty, Belgium is finished. The Germans’ use in armored troops is really amazing!” Foreign Minister Coleman sighed.

“In less than three months, Belgium was destroyed. It was still carried out with the help of the French. The Germans’ combat effectiveness was still shocking!” Ferdinand Little sighed and said

“Your Majesty, it’s almost done now, we can prepare for the end. The Germans have already attacked the French mainland. At this time, we need to help the French to restrain the British!” Christopher proposed

“Let ’s mediate the French-Italian war first. The French defeated the Belgian battlefield and lost at least 400,000 troops. At this time, the French can only give up the Italian battlefield.

We can guarantee their truce and let the French focus on the Germans.

Make an excuse, I want to block the Suez Canal, the nail of the Mediterranean fleet, and I have to find a way to pull it out! Ferdinand Little said cautiously

Italy still had a higher heart and a thinner life than paper, attacked the French with nearly three times the strength of its forces, and was almost beaten to death.

It is fully proved to the outside world that the Italians are still the Italy they are familiar with!

Even if it was taken by the British, it was only a three-second rider, and soon became discouraged.

The nations most unsuitable for military service in Europe are not fame!

If the Italian army’s law enforcement team is notarized, the Italian army will soon be empty.

This is a very embarrassing problem. Romanticism has killed people, and generals and soldiers have become accustomed to this atmosphere.

One set of standards was announced to the public, and another set of standards was implemented internally.

As long as they are not deserters, they are very good soldiers. The others are small sections and can be ignored.

The Italian government is very knowledgeable. At this time, Bulgaria’s proposal cannot be rejected.

It can be said that the negotiations between France and Italy are in the interests of both of them, and they do not want to fight anymore, and the truce can naturally be concluded.

In contrast, the Mediterranean fleet is still a big problem. The area of ​​Sicily is not small. The British have deployed thousands of planes on it, and their military facilities are stricter than their homeland.

This is equivalent to the super aircraft carrier on the land, the Royal Air Force seven-story aircraft are deployed here.

In addition to many aircraft, the Mediterranean Fleet also has many submarines. The submarines of the Royal Navy with more than nine layers are deployed in the Mediterranean. It can be said that this is a military deployment specifically for Bulgarian operations.

Weapons and ammunition are stored in a large amount, and food can be self-sufficient. In theory, it can continue to fight for three years.

On the contrary, in the Egyptian region, the British lacked confidence. The two sides directly bordered each other. The London government had no confidence in the army and was ready to fail.

According to the British plan, once the war broke out, the main purpose of the Mediterranean fleet was to disrupt and interrupt Bulgaria’s maritime supplies.

Then the Royal Navy defeated Bulgaria’s Persian Gulf fleet, locked Bulgaria in the Mediterranean, and then bombed oil fields and refineries in the Middle East with aircraft, forcing Bulgaria to give in.

These strategies are all conspiracies, and no one is expected to fool anyone.

The most critical link is the Mediterranean fleet of Sicily. The fleet on the water is easy to handle, and the trouble is the underwater submarine.

If this nail cannot be pulled out, then Bulgaria will not be able to use the Mediterranean Sea for maritime transportation and rely entirely on land transportation, which is too difficult in this era.

“Your Majesty, the staff plan to mobilize the main force of the Air Force to bomb Sicily, destroy their ports and airports, and then operate on the Mediterranean fleet!” Christopher said

“British anti-aircraft fire, have you thought about it, Sicilian air defense weapons, but the densest area in the world?” Ferdinand Jr. asked with concern.

“Your Majesty, there is a limit to how strong anti-aircraft firepower can be. As long as we dispatch enough planes to exceed their limit, we can guarantee the completion of the mission!” Christopher explained

Ferdinand Little nodded his head thoughtfully. This tactic is very simple, that is, bullying less, which is the most effective tactic ever since.

The best anti-aircraft weapon of this era is to use aircraft to deal with aircraft and rely on ground-based anti-aircraft fire to intercept it. It can shoot down 12%, which is a very bad record.

After all, the speed of the aircraft is too fast, and it is not the War of Resistance Against Japan. A bullet can blow up an aircraft.

Under normal circumstances, ground anti-aircraft are mainly anti-aircraft guns. As long as the anti-aircraft machine gun misses the point, it has no effect.

This is a mechanical problem. Generally, as long as it is not flying at ultra-low altitudes, the power of bullets flying up to a few hundred meters and thousands of meters has greatly weakened. Whether ordinary bullets can be painted a little is a question mark.

…

On January 5, 1940, France and Italy simultaneously issued the Rome Declaration that shocked the world.

The two countries announced the end of the war. According to the terms of the treaty, the French army began to withdraw from Italy, and the border between the two countries was restored to the pre-war state.

The French-Italian war ended so gorgeously. The Italians braved the courage, mobilized more than 2.8 million troops, and ended the war for nearly half a year.

For half a year, the Kingdom of Italy paid millions of casualties, spent billions of pounds in war, and ended with a compensation of 100 million francs.

(Remarks: Casualties do not equal death, and can be calculated cumulatively)

The Kingdom of Italy withdrew, and all the British investment was overwhelmed. This was a disaster for the British government that was just in power.

London

At 10 Downing Street, he finally got down on his political opponent, and Mr. Churchill, who has not sat down on the throne of the Prime Minister, encountered such a big problem.

Italy withdrew, and their strategy in the Mediterranean lost one key link, and Sicily became a strategic island.

According to the original plan, they made Germany and Italy unite, retaining a channel to reinforce Sicily.

This is why Bulgaria provokes contradictions between Italy and Switzerland. The land channel between Germany and Italy has been isolated by France, Austria, Hungary and Switzerland.

Once the war broke out, the Kingdom of Italy could not get help from the Germans, which was very bad for them.

As a result, the Italians were so confident that they thought they could beat the French, and this channel came out. There is no need to bully Switzerland and waste time.

Otherwise, Germany and Italy will jointly kill the Swiss and the Swiss together, and Italy will not be so miserable now.

“Spaghetti flinched. Now that the war has entered the countdown, the Bulgarians can’t bear it anymore, they will not give up this opportunity!” Prime Minister Churchill growled.

“Sir Prime Minister, Sicily, after so many years of operation, has become a fortress of war and theoretically will not be captured.

Now even without Italy, we have done this worst consideration in advance. The island has a large number of strategic supplies and a large number of troops deployed.

In theory, we can persist in fighting for five years without falling. If we cannot defeat Bulgaria for such a long time, then the Mediterranean has lost its strategic value to us! Secretary of Defense Agavin thought about it

“Oh, this is good news. But don’t forget that the war is going to be dead. Without outside supplements, the soldiers on the island will soon be consumed.

Don’t you think the Italians on the island will help us fight? Churchill asked with a frown.

War has made progress. After undergoing the baptism of the Southeast Asian War, Prime Minister Churchill has progressed. Such a simple flaw can be seen at a glance.

In contrast, Secretary of Defense Agavin was the real military baiji. Before the election, he was still a lawyer and was in the position of Secretary of Defense for less than a month.

Naturally it is what others say, and that is what it is. The bureaucrats below certainly want to fool around at this time in order to avoid being held accountable.

In history, the Churchill government has been fooled and overestimated its own strength, and what a consequence it is!

No matter how much material is hoarded, the army deployed on the island is only about 100,000 people. Once the Bulgarians land, the fall will be sooner or later.

Without the island as a base, the submarine underwater would naturally be abolished. Not to mention the Royal Navy’s plan to use the Sicilian base to block the Mediterranean.

“If Sicily falls, we can only implement Plan B and work with the Germans to first force the French to compromise and forcibly tie the Spanish to the chariot.

Then use the strength of the Western European Union to attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire and force the Bulgarians to fight against us on the European continent.

Taking advantage of the Royal Navy, we can block their seas and use the war to drag Bulgaria! “Agavin said again

“Fucking genius, I want to know now, this idiot made this strategic plan?” Churchill said helplessly

Ai Gavin shrugged and said, “Of course, I don’t think this plan is very reliable!

To complete this plan, it is necessary to ensure that the Suez Canal is in our hands, so that we can hold Africa!

With our strength in Egypt, it is difficult to complete this task, but if we concentrate our strength, there may not be no hope! “

As long as you open the map and look at it, you know that Bulgaria crosses Asia, Europe, and Africa. Unless the maritime transportation channel can be cut off, the so-called blockade is completely nonsense.

It is completely nonsense that the Eastern European Union has all the strategic resources to use the navy to blockade.

Decisive battle on land?

This is even more nonsense!

Don’t forget that the biggest weakness of the British Empire is the Army. For no other reason, it is entirely due to insufficient population and the inability of both the land and the sea to do both.

“Forget about military issues, let’s hear what the generals say! Let your staff shut up, this is not their profession!” Churchill said angrily

Eating for a long time and being a wise man, as the only one in the cabinet who has fought, he knows that there must be professionals in the military.

Just a rough judgment, he knew that the strategic plan put forward by the Secretary of Defense was definitely made by military vain.

Without that general thinking about it, it would be so idealistic. Now it is not in their interest to provoke a world war. At this time, the advantage of the Royal Navy in the war with Bulgaria is difficult to show.

Since the main battlefield is on land, the best way is to dora allies, ants bite more elephants!

This was also what his predecessor was doing. The last government did not only attract Germany and Italy, but South and North America had their allies everywhere.

This is also a force to be reckoned with. The question now is, if the power of allies is invested in the war with Bulgaria.

These dozens of countries can easily gather millions of troops. The British Empire still has so many dominions and colonies. These places also need war mobilization.

At that time, with the advantages of human resources and the continuous consumption of cannon fodder and Bulgaria, it is the most feasible strategy.

It is not necessary to defeat the Eastern European Union. As long as it can weaken Bulgaria’s military strength, they can use political means to disintegrate this military alliance.

Bulgaria alone is not invincible. Filling it with human lives is just like dealing with the Germans in the last world war. Did n’t it finally bring down the enemy alive?

Isn’t it nonsense to rely on local military strength to dominate the world with Bulgarians? They are going to fight in groups, when did they start heads-up?

“His Prime Minister, but the military did not buy our account, they did not take us into account at all!” Agavin frowned.

This is Mr. Churchill’s pot. After the Southeast Asian War, he was a public enemy of the Army. The navy and air force also did not like him. No one likes a prime minister who cares for his fingers.

“It doesn’t matter. Tell them that we intend to increase the military expenditure ratio and let them come up with a practicable battle plan. We must convince Congress!” Churchill sneered.

They are making preparations, and the British military is naturally also making preparations. Non-cooperation is nothing more than a matter of price. As long as the interests are appropriate, there is nothing to talk about.

The biggest problem ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ is nothing more than someone in the military who wants to take advantage of this opportunity to gain dominance in wars. In previous wars, they were cabinet-led.

…

Soon Mr. Churchill got the thorns in the military. Under the British system, the military’s right to speak was very low and there was no ability to compete with the cabinet.

Bulgaria is also preparing for the war. Many factories are transforming into the military industry. Arsenals are also operating 24 hours a day, and a large number of weapons and ammunition are produced.

The government has released its hands and feet and collected strategic materials in the international market.

The three armies of the army, the sea, and the air are all tacitly organizing reserve training, and military exercises are being conducted throughout the country.

Wind and rain come to the wind!

It’s time to fight!

Everyone knows that this is preparing for war. There is only one enemy that can be treated with such care by Bulgaria.
