Mediterranean Hegemony Road - v6 Chapter 40
5 On January 24, 1941, at 5 am, the Holy Alliance launched a landing operation on the British Isles. In accordance with the principle of finding persimmons, the landing site was selected in Ireland.
In order to cover the landing of the army, part of the French Navy, the Austro-Hungarian Navy, and the Bulgarian Navy assembled in the English Channel.
At the same time, there are tens of thousands of fighters in the sky constantly roaming, the Royal Navy fleet wandering in the Atlantic Ocean, just dare not take the lead.
It is not that the British do not work hard, it is because the strength of the two sides is too wide. Without air dominance, it would be good for the Royal Navy to be able to play five points.
The British originally planned to use the advantages of the Royal Navy to block the coastline, but the reality told them that without air control, it was better to stay away from the mainland.
This is at the cost of blood. The African fleet is an example. After the outbreak of the South African war, they wanted to shell Bulgarian ports.
In the end, they successfully completed the mission, but the price was a bit heavy. This African fleet only ran away a few small torpedo boats.
I use a fleet to change the port. If it is an important port such as Constantinople, it is still pretty much the same. A fishing village-like port like Africa does not necessarily have the same value as a battleship.
“Your Majesty, the landing was successful! At 12:38 on January 24, 1941, the 1st Division of the Holy Alliance Expeditionary Infantry Division successfully landed on the island of Ireland!” Chief of Staff Christoph said in surprise.
Everyone has a happy smile, as long as the landing is successful, it will be easy to handle. Among the three British islands, the Irish island has the lowest defense force.
There are millions of Irish on the island who are leading the way. What defense does the British take?
Without the potatoes on the island of Ireland, the British food crisis will further intensify, and the war has entered the countdown.
“Well, release the news and contact the independent organizations on the island of Ireland to let them form the Kingdom of Ireland as soon as possible!” Ferdinand Jr. thought about it
The Bulgarian government is talking. Since it has promised to make the Irish independent, it is necessary to make Ireland independent.
This has nothing to do with buying people’s hearts. The newly formed Irish government was also formed by them voluntarily. Opposing British colonial rule is an Irish spontaneous act.
Yeah, it must be like this!
Believe it or not, anyway, Ferdinand Little believes it. Is it normal for the country to contribute to national independence?
His Majesty, “The Irish have been enslaved by the British for a long time, and we must provide them with some help. I propose to assist the equipment of the 15 infantry divisions of the Kingdom of Ireland!” Prime Minister Tolski said in a righteous manner
This is totally free assistance, without any trace of political additionalities. At best, it will make Ireland’s defence system close like Bulgaria.
There is no way. It is very unrealistic for a small country to want an independent national defense system. The cost of developing and manufacturing weapons on its own is definitely more expensive than outsourcing.
都要 I’m going to buy anyway, who shouldn’t buy it?
What, you say that weapons and ammunition are too expensive?
Xunzheng is so cheap and not good. Bulgaria has the world’s best weapons and equipment. The price is naturally a little bit higher.
“The Prime Minister is right, tell the Irish that after their naval formation is successful, we will send them a battleship!” Ferdinand Little said indifferently
With the outbreak of this war, battleships have become increasingly unseen in the navy, and everyone knows that the future is the era of aircraft carriers.
In this context, the dozens of battleships in the Bulgarian Navy were very eye-catching. During the war, they could also serve as **** carriers, and their retirement after the war is irreversible.
Ferdinand Jr. didn’t feel bad when he sent people. Ireland is the beginning. In the future, it is estimated that many countries will receive Bulgarian naval packages.
For European powers, these warships are a jerk, but they are not the same in the hands of small countries. A battleship is completely taken out to support the facade.
Phoebe Ferdinand is very disciplined. He can not only send warships free of charge, but he can also provide logistic services, but he only needs to charge a small fee.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can build a naval system that belongs to your country for a little money. Although all warships are bought, this is also a great temptation.
The navy is a beast that swallows gold. A battleship can be no more than 50 to 60 million levs, but a series of auxiliary warships and supporting logistics supply systems can’t be determined without three or five billion.
Whether the finances of these countries can support this is not a Bulgarian problem. You can borrow without money, as long as you have a mortgage.
Ferdinand Jr. said that Bulgaria’s banks are not picky, and whether it is mineral resources or government taxes, they can become part of the collateral.
He even undertakes land mortgages. In order to take care of everyone’s face, he can only mortgage the land use rights and not mortgage the sovereignty.
Look at how intimate these services are, and even everyone’s face has been taken care of. It seems that everyone’s land in this era is privately owned, and the right to use them is indefinite.
These are small things, and you can redeem them if you have money in the future. This is a pure commercial mortgage and does not involve any sovereignty issues.
国际 International loans in this era are very dark, often with additional political conditions that are ten times or one hundred times more serious than the interest on the loan itself. The unsecured mortgage loans introduced by Bulgarian banks can be said to be conscience bankers!
It is conceivable that as soon as Bulgarian banks launch these financial services, they will be immediately welcomed by governments around the world.
Which government will refuse pure commercial loans as long as it does not involve sovereignty? Really think they are all local tyrants, without financial pressure?
Especially in the republican countries, it is necessary to change the term if there is a shortfall of five. Consider the immediate problem. Whether the loan can be repaid in the future is the question of the next term.
It doesn’t matter if the next term isn’t good, and the next term government, as long as it’s going well now.
I ca n’t help but declare the government bankruptcy. This kind of secured loan ca n’t be won. Unsecured loans can always be erased, right?
比如 Another example is the issue of additional currency, artificially creating a temporary economic prosperity, and solving the government’s financial crisis. Never overestimate the discipline of politicians.
In this respect, the countries in the Americas are the best customers, with vast land and sparse population and rich resources, and there are many collaterals in their hands.
Well, it seems that most of these industries have fallen into the hands of international consortia, but it doesn’t matter. Isn’t the British defeated?
Consortiums that are dependent on the existence of the British Commonwealth, this time it is difficult to think of a layer of skin.
There are still some countries that dare to confiscate the Bulgarian royal family enterprises. Ferdinand Jr. said: After the war is over, he will die with them without extorting ten times the compensation.
In the current international situation, there is no possibility of a cold war. The Bulgarian family became dominant after the war, but there is no possibility of shopping around!
Foreign Minister Coleman said, “His Majesty, we have limited local forces on the Southeast Asian battlefield, but we have joined forces with the French to occupy the British Philippine Islands.
The Japanese have captured the British Malay Islands and are attacking Myanmar and Australia at this time.
According to information from our embassy, the Japanese have deployed 800,000 troops from the Far East to the two regions.
Judging from the current situation, the Japanese government may abandon the battlefield and concentrate on managing the Nanyang.
The Dutch have felt the pressure. They are worried that the Japanese will do something to the Java area and hope to get our security protection! “
“How did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs come to this conclusion? From the map, frankly, I can’t see the core strategy of the Japanese, they are just blooming on all sides!” Ferdinand Little asked in doubt.
The Japanese’s strategy, he really can’t understand it, even if Bulgaria didn’t dare to play like them, all sides are enemies, and it is only Thailand that can be regarded as an ally.
Even if the enemies are weak chickens, do n’t they need to eat bite by bite? At the same time, the four fronts are at war. Even if they can fight against the enemy, they must also take into account the national capacity!
Coleman analyzed: “His Majesty, there are two main reasons.
First of all, the persimmon first finds a soft pinch, whether it is Soviet Russia or *, it is not easy to fight, and the Japanese government cannot win in the short term.
Second, the end of the European War, and our refusal to accept them to join the Divine Alliance, has increased the anxiety in the Japanese government.
The Japanese are worried that after the war we will put our strategic focus on the Nanyang area. For their own security, they may now choose to take military risks. Let us first occupy these areas.
In theory, as long as the Japanese government has occupied Australia and Nanyang, we can force us to abandon the colonies there and turn Southeast Asia into their back garden.
In order to take the initiative, perhaps the Japanese government is also preparing to attack India and foster a pro-Japanese Indian government that will keep us out of the subcontinent.
In this war, the losses of several major powers in the Holy Alliance were not small, and neither the Austro-Hungarian Empire nor Western Russia would be interested in the South Ocean.
We will also be very difficult to defeat them, this loss is likely to exceed the gain we can get! “
Fei Xiaonan nodded his head in recognition of the Japanese government ’s invincibility on the Nanyang battlefield, and the British did not cause them much obstacles at all.
This has created an illusion to the Japanese that the Japanese army’s combat effectiveness has already surpassed the European powers and stimulated their ambitions.
The two sides are thousands of miles apart. As long as they occupy Nanyang, Australia, and the Indo-China Peninsula, creating a perfect defensive circle, even Bulgaria should not want them.
Well, if the Japanese strategy is really realized, Bulgaria is really not good at taking them. Except for bombing all the way with the atomic bomb, the loss of fighting conventional wars will be very large.
Chief of Staff Christoph countered: “Mr. Coleman, I think this is unlikely to happen. The Japanese want to achieve this strategic goal. The Dutch, the French, and the colonies of our three countries are all nail.
We have landed on the island of Ireland. According to the current situation, the British will collapse this year. Are they confident that they can occupy so many regions in these short months?
If they can’t do this, they are still going to war against us, aren’t they trying to die? Even if we use one third of our power, it is not something the Japanese government can afford! “
It is theoretically feasible, it just stays in theory, it is not so easy in the military.
The British are warless and the London government knows that they can’t keep these areas and gave up early.
But Bulgaria, France, and the Netherlands are different. The colonial government ca n’t win the Japanese. Could n’t it be a delay?
As long as a foothold is left in the Nanyang area and follow-up troops enter continuously, the Japanese cannot stop it at all.
The gap in the country’s power cannot be filled by simple strategy. Once it becomes a war of attrition, the result is already doomed.
Uh …
“Forget it, the Japanese’s problems don’t matter anymore, anyway, they can’t turn up the waves, let them go!”
Phoebe Ferdinand stopped the quarrel between the two sides. The members of the cabinet did not know the existence of the atomic bomb, but he knew it. If he was in a hurry, he would throw it all the way.
After so many years, Bulgaria has also stored hundreds of them. It may be possible to bombard all the way from Nanyang to Tokyo!
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Everyone answered.
Uh …
The Chancellor of the Exchequer Merkel thought for a while and said, “His Majesty, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the Kingdom of Poland have all applied for loans.
王国 The Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of the Rhine, the Kingdom of East Prussia, the Swiss Confederation and other countries are also interested in lending to us. “
Capital export, Bulgaria has long been prepared to do it. How can Lev replace the British pound without capital export?
Including the previous export of naval weapons and equipment, it still essentially serves the export of capital. Once Lev became an international currency, let alone the annual minting right is an astronomical number.
“What do you think?” Ferdinand Little asked
“Your Majesty, as long as they can take out collateral, we can approve these loans, for the smooth export of capital in the future ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ We should not propose too many conditions now!” Prime Minister Tolski said
His Majesty ’s Minister of the Interior, Powell, said: “Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right. Now that we have occupied the world’s largest gold mine, Lev has the conditions for globalization.
Coupled with our oil settlement system, it will not be long for Lev to become a stronger international currency than the British pound! “
斐 From Ferdinand Jr.’s point of view, the capital output of Bulgaria now = printing money. This is a question of degree.
The paper currency itself has no value. It depends on everyone’s approval to support the “value”.
Once everyone recognized Lev and used Lev for settlement in international trade, Bulgaria also kidnapped the world economy.
So the loan must be borrowed, otherwise there is no Lev in the hands of people, even if you want to use Lev for trade!
保加利亚 For Bulgaria, the trouble now is how to make Lev in the hands of governments around the world, and the larger the number, the better.
Only when everyone holds a large number of Levs can we form a community of interests. Because once Lev depreciates, they will suffer heavy losses. For their own benefit, they must also ask the market.
Uh …
Uh …
