The world war is still going on. After the naval battle in the Gibraltar Strait, the Bulgarian Navy immediately launched a landing operation against Cyprus.
At this moment, the island’s garrison was out of battle. After a symbolic resistance, more than 300 British soldiers on the island dropped their weapons and surrendered under the leadership of Colonel Philip.
Such a small battle is not worth mentioning in the World War. Even the London government is ready to abandon the Mediterranean.
London
Churchill said solemnly: “You, the Royal Navy’s operation failed, and the fall of the Mediterranean is only a matter of time. Neither Sicily nor any other island has the ability to fight long-term.
The most critical issue now is that we must find a way to keep India and South Africa, and it is best to keep the Suez Canal, otherwise this war will be difficult to fight! “
Although tactical command capabilities are not good, from a strategic perspective, Prime Minister Churchill is still very good.
Soon after the outbreak of the battle in Sicily, he knew that the Mediterranean could not be maintained. Without the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal would be dispensable.
After all, there is a larger Aqaba Gulf Canal in the hands of Bulgarians. With this canal, the role of the Suez Canal has been greatly reduced.
Even if the Strait of Mande is still in their hands, he does not think how long it can be held, after all, the Bulgarians have launched an attack.
Fighting the Bulgarians on land, even if the British Army took all of them, it would only give away.
The Suez Canal can be lost, but South Africa and India cannot give up. If both places are lost, then the British Empire is no longer necessary to fight this war.
The Minister of State frowned and said, “His Prime Minister, this is not only a question of South Africa and India. Now the Germans are asking us for reinforcements. The military pressure they are bearing is too great.
If we can’t provide them with effective support, I’m afraid it won’t be long before the Germans collapse.
We cannot bear the consequences of losing the European continent. Without the restraint of the Germans, the Bulgarians could easily integrate the European continent.
Once this terrible consequence happens, then this war, we have no need to continue! “
The colonies of India and South Africa must not be lost. These two places are the British’s money bag. The only powerful ally of the Germans is more unable to give up, and Churchill’s brows are tightened.
The strength of the British Empire is not unlimited, especially in the face of Bulgaria’s strong player, he also has to admit that at this time, Bulgaria’s comprehensive national strength is above them.
The sun does not set the flag of the empire, and now it is only possible to flicker the soil, and European countries do not buy their accounts at all.
Everyone is not a fool. The savvy politicians know very well that standing on the Bulgarian side will not only gain more benefits, but also have a better chance of winning!
The worst result was a tie between the two sides. Anyway, no matter how great the British Empire was, they would not be able to attack the continent, even if all the remaining countries were not united!
This is the self-confidence of European countries and the manifestation of strength. Once Germany is defeated, all the neutral countries now fall to Bulgaria.
The empire that does not set sun is not vain, occupying the world ’s highest-value and most extensive colony. Bulgaria cannot afford the British Empire.
In particular, Bulgaria agreed to abandon the Indian region, and after sharing it for everyone, the British could no longer offer equivalent chips.
The Bulgarian government dares to abandon India, which is generous to others. If the London government dares to abandon India, it is abandoning the position of world supremacy!
The Secretary of the Army said with a somber expression: “To support the Germans, it is not enough to provide supplies. We must also send troops, and this number cannot be reduced.
The Germans have mobilized more than 5 million troops and will exceed 7 million in the future, but from the current situation, this is still far behind the Eastern European Union.
We have to find a way to fill the gap of at least five million of them, which is still based on the fact that the enemy does not continue to mobilize.
The Germans’ combat effectiveness is not as outstanding as we think. The quality of officers is not as good as that of World War I. We can’t compete with Bulgarian weapons and equipment.
Especially in the air force, the battle of Sicily can tell everything. We have a geographical advantage, and we have deployed a large number of air defense weapons, and still have not blocked the enemy’s front.
How can we solve the 5 million troop gap now? Due to the combat effectiveness, it is unrealistic to win the war by forming a colonial cannon fodder!
The total population of the countries of the Holy Alliance will not be less than 350 million. With such a large population base, they will not be short of soldiers.
If we want to bridge this gap, we must attract American troops from all countries in the Americas, including the Japanese, and now we are also attracted! “
The British did prepare for the war, but they were not ready to mobilize millions of people and send them to Europe as cannon fodder!
The lessons of World War I have told the British that the brutal war on the European continent is really not suitable for them to play!
The lives of the British were too expensive. After being fooled once, many people had awakened. They were not war nations, but they had no intention of killing the capitalists.
Churchill frowned. He knew that such pessimism could not spread in the British Empire. Once the people had doubts about victory, it would be more difficult to carry out the conscription.
Now we must first convince the people in the government that if they do not have confidence in the war, will this fight still be used?
“You are optimistic. None of these problems can be solved. The problem of troop gap is best to do!
We can mobilize nationwide, mobilize 4 million troops from home, mobilize 3 million troops from three North American countries, 500,000 troops from Australia, 200,000 troops from New Zealand, and 500,000 troops from Canada.
The British Empire could mobilize 8.2 million troops and build 5 million colonial troops. Some of us are using up our enemies!
The cannon fodder of the colony is worthless. We can continue to form, and the British Empire will not collapse until the blood of the Indians has dried up! Churchill bewildered.
Unfortunately, everyone is an old churros. These figures only exist in theory. The establishment of the British Army is too small. The most direct problem now that we want to expand our army is the insufficient number of officers.
Now it ’s time to train. When they train the officers, daylily is cold.
The Minister of Defense frowned and said, “The Prime Minister, this number is almost the limit of mobilization. Without one or two years, we cannot complete the mobilization.
Will the enemy wait for us for such a long time? As long as the Bulgarians are willing, maybe we do n’t have to wait for our military expansion to complete, the Germans will surrender, and India and South Africa will not belong to us! “
Foreign Minister Edley said: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has conducted in-depth communication with the countries of the Americas, and we will receive 500,000 troops in the next month.
Put this army on the German battlefield, we will send another half a million troops, we can first solve the urgent need, let the Germans take the defensive, as long as we persist for a few months, we have completed the mobilization, do not worry! “
If the Germans give up the offensive and adopt a shrinking strategy, then it will become a war of attrition, and it will certainly be impossible to distinguish between victory and defeat in the short term.
As long as the Germans stand up, everything is possible.
The British Empire’s mobilization system was not fast enough and did not receive the support of the people. No matter what their propaganda was, the lessons of the First World War taught them that the country is the capitalists, and only life is yours!
The fighting broke out so long before the British Army mobilized more than 1.8 million troops, which were also distributed in several autonomous territories and were undergoing emergency training.
Before the troops can form a combat force, the Germans must stand up. The main force of the British Army has to go to India and South Africa in an attempt to block the Bulgarian front.
“Yes, everyone, let’s cheer for the great victory of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It will not be long before the reinforcements of the Americas will continue to be reinforced. The ultimate victory of this war will only belong to us!” Prime Minister Churchill said passionately
No matter what ideas the American countries have come up with ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ now they must fully support the British Empire, even if it is just lip service, what they need now.
Encouragement exists in any country. If there is no hope of victory, if things are not good, they may compromise.
Obviously this cannot be tolerated by Prime Minister Churchill, so they have won the American countries at all costs and reversed the political passive situation.
…
The war does not change with personal preferences. At this moment, the Persian battle, the Sinai Peninsula, the Mander Strait, and other regions have begun.
It is completely a routine operation of the Bulgarian army. The land-air integration war was first bombed by the air force, and then the army launched an attack after completion.
Bulgaria’s armored forces also began to emerge. After the bombing of the air force, they immediately launched an offensive, rushing the British garrison’s front to pieces.
The infantry soldiers who followed were rushed to attack and cleared up the enemy in the shortest time.
Blitz is not something anyone can play. Whether it’s from Persia to India or Egypt to South Africa, it can’t be done in a short while.
With such a long distance, despite the smooth progress of the Bulgarian army, the effects of Blitz were still not achieved.
It can be said that vast territory, poor traffic, and harsh natural environments are the best nemesis of blitz.
For example, in the history of the Third Reich’s army in the Soviet Union, is an obvious example.
The vast land lags the German offensive speed. After winter comes, the Germans are buried directly!
Now the Bulgarian Army is also hitting a blitz-like speed, but unfortunately it can not achieve the corresponding results, in the short term it will not be completed!
