Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? Compared with the French government’s up for grabs, the Vienna government is much simpler. The British Empire is very powerful, but this This awesomeness has nothing to do with them.

Even if the Royal Navy dominates the world, it is impossible to go to the Adriatic Sea to show off its prestige. On the contrary, Bulgaria next door is more terrifying.

If they stand on the wrong team at this time, their life will be difficult.

The Strait of Otranto is an inland river in Bulgaria. As long as Bulgaria conducts military exercises here every now and then, the shipping of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be ruined.

Sea transportation is only a small problem. As a land power country, the Austria-Hungary Empire has always had very little choice in diplomacy.

Just as they had to deal with the Germans before World War I, they also had to deal with Bulgaria after World War I. They had almost no choice in diplomacy.

It can only be said that God did not bless them, and the geographical location determined their tragic life.

In the Crimean War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire betrayed its ally, the Russian Empire, causing heavy losses to the Russians, which opened the prelude to the conflict between Russia and Austria.

In World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire betrayed the Germans again. This time it was regarded as revenge for the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War, but since then, Germany and Austria have also forged a death feud.

Traitors are always the most hateful!

If there are no major changes, the hatred between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany and Russia will not be resolved in a short time.

At this time, if we get into a fight with Bulgaria again, I can't think about it all!

...

Bulgaria is going to dig the Grand Canal in the Gulf of Aqaba. This news has caused a lot of noise in the European continent. There are different opinions. Many people are speculating that the Anglo-Bulgarian conflict is about to break out.

However, there is one thing that is certain, that is, it has something to do with the Suez Canal Management Company's increase in navigation fees, and the conflict of interest is the most irreconcilable contradiction.

Almost all countries in the world are looking forward to the intensification of the conflict between Bulgaria and the British Empire, and it is best to fight directly.

In particular, the revolutionary party in Southeast Asia, which is fighting for independence, was even more encouraged by the news from the Japanese.

Obviously they thought too much, and as time passed, there was no escalation of the conflict between the two countries, except for a scolding war between the two countries in the newspaper, and then it was over.

No, it's just that Bulgaria is over. Britain is very lively. The media in London are arguing over this issue. There are all kinds of arguments, and no one can convince anyone.

However, the London media still highly praised the performance of Stanley Baldwin's cabinet in this incident.

From the beginning to the end, Stanley Baldwin's cabinet was very calm in arguing with the Bulgarian government. It did not intensify the conflict between the two parties, and did not go straight to it.

After all, although the Suez Canal has great political influence, it has nothing to do with the vast majority of the British people economically, except for the relevant people.

Whether their economic interests are damaged or not, they have no personal pain, and of course they don't want the conflict to escalate.

Even if the Grand Canal in the Gulf of Aqaba is opened, the role of the Suez Canal will indeed be reduced, but the core value of interests will remain unchanged, and it will still be able to connect to the most important colony of the British Empire-India.

As long as the core interests are preserved, the loss of some navigation fees is not within the scope of most people's concern. No matter how much the canal company earns, it has nothing to do with them.

In the eyes of ordinary people, if the Bulgarians want to dig canals, they can dig them. If they dig canals on their own land, the British Empire is not easy to intervene!

Moreover, the canal cannot be dug in a day or two. The Suez Canal has been dug for more than ten years, let alone the Gulf of Aqaba Canal, which is more difficult to construct and farther away?

According to British media reports, the most optimistic estimate will take ten years, most of them are expected to be dug for 20 to 30 years, and the most pessimistic estimate is the lifetime series.

Their calculation method is based on the calculation of the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal. As for the organizational capacity and scientific and technological progress, they have directly ignored them unconsciously.

We are all amateurs. If you guess right, you can report their foresight in the future. It doesn’t matter if you guess wrong. You can find a lot of reasons to argue.

As journalists, as long as there are topics, they are not the chief engineer of the Gulf of Aqaba Canal, and they do not need to be responsible for these remarks.

"Your Majesty, something happened to the British colonies in Southeast Asia!" Foreign Minister Megeve gloated.

"The British colonies in Southeast Asia are full of gunpowder every day. What big things can happen?" Ferdinand said indifferently.

In his view, most of the British colonies in Southeast Asia have fallen, no matter how bad the situation is, that's it.

"On May 8, 1927, the rebels in Southeast Asia launched a counterattack against the British at the same time. The British army was almost defeated on all fronts. Singapore fell. If Mr. Churchill hadn't run so fast, he would have become a prisoner.

Not only that, the British warships moored in the port of Singapore were also sunk by the rebels with a battleship and two cruisers! "Megev replied solemnly.

"It's impossible! Is the British army useless? Is this what the rebels in Southeast Asia can achieve?" Ferdinand questioned

This is no longer an impressive record, it is simply a mythical record!

What's more, the battleships have sunk, are you sure you didn't open them?

No matter how poor Churchill's command ability is, the army in his hands can't be faked. If you can't fight a rebellion in the jungle, can't you defend a city?

How about the combat effectiveness of the rebels, do you still have to doubt it? Must be the mob? Could it be that the British army can't even beat a mob?

"Your Majesty, the news is true! I have verified that it was not the rebels who defeated the British this time, but the harsh weather conditions in Southeast Asia.

According to the information we have collected, the Southeast Asian region has entered summer since March, and a large number of mosquitoes and ants are multiplying.

After being bitten by mosquitoes, the British army experienced a very serious non-combat attrition, and the morale of the army had already fallen to an underestimation.

Most of these foreign reinforcements lost their combat effectiveness due to the unacceptable relationship between the environment and the soil, and the rest were panicked and had no intention of fighting. ’ explained Megeve

"No, it's not been a day or two since the British occupied Southeast Asia. It's impossible for them to be unaware of these issues. In this case, they should have been prepared. How could such a low-level mistake occur?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, this may have something to do with politics. In order to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible, the British government sent reinforcements from outside this time, but they were sent to the front line before they had time to adapt to the local climate.

At the same time, the Japanese also took action this time, including the army that conquered Singapore, all of which were dominated by Japanese expatriates. It seems that many Chinese also joined the rebel army.

Their combat effectiveness is much stronger, and they are commanded by experienced Japanese officers. What's more, during the more than half a year of fighting, the rebels also obtained a lot of weapons from the British.

The elite of the rebels, their weapons and equipment are not much worse than the British. Under the same strength conditions, the British are really not their opponents! "Megeve analyzed

After thinking about it for a while, Ferdinand realized that it seems that there is such a possibility. In the history of World War I, Mr. Churchill made this mistake.

For political needs, regardless of the actual situation, before the British and French allied forces were ready, they ordered the launch of the Battle of Dardanelles, and staged a trick to give away their heads.

This time, it is nothing more than a different time point and a different place, making the same mistake, it seems not impossible.

From May to October in Southeast Asia is the rainy season. If the rebels cannot be suppressed before the rainy season comes, the British army will have to be beaten passively after entering May.

It probably summed up the failure of last year. In February and March 1927, the British army had been fighting very well, and the scope of activities of the rebels had been suppressed.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Myanmar turned back again, and the previous efforts were in vain. Then after the reinforcements arrived in April.

A wave of counterattacks before the rainy season, to combat the arrogance of the rebels, give an explanation to the country, and ease the pressure on oneself, this is very similar to Mr. Churchill's style.

The result was that the unaccustomed reinforcements were scattered on the battlefield, lost their combat effectiveness within a few days of fighting, and were finally taken advantage of by the enemy.

These are all made up by Ferdinand himself. The real situation has yet to be verified. There are many factors for the failure of the British, and it is definitely not just as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Then what about the battleship? Even if the rebel army captured the British artillery, the army's artillery would not be able to sink the battleship!

Could it be that God was caring for them, there happened to be an oil tanker next to it, and the artillery of the rebel army hit the oil tanker, and then the fuel inside exploded, and finally took away a battleship? " Ferdinand asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, this is really a good idea, but it's a pity that the opportunity has passed, otherwise we can get a bunch of tankers and fill them with fuel to dock at the port of Singapore. It is estimated that this time the British will lose most of the Far East.

It seems that the Japanese developed a suicide missile specially for the rebel army. As long as there is a death squad with a shell, it can attack the warship. This weapon is very powerful when fired at close range!

This time the rebel army fired dozens of suicide missiles before sinking a British battleship! "Megev regretted

It seemed that a golden opportunity was missed. Not only Megev, but even Ferdinand secretly regretted not considering this issue.

Otherwise, the crude oil exported from Bulgaria to Japan can be docked at the port of Singapore, and tens of thousands of tons, or even hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel explosions at a time, this power can already fully cover the port of Singapore.

With such a small price, quietly killing a third of the Royal Navy is a huge profit. It's a pity that such an opportunity is gone forever!

"It's really a pity, not only this opportunity is missed, even our plan to use the colonial rebellion in Southeast Asia to hold back the British will be aborted.

With such a big incident, I am afraid that the London government will soon change people to take charge of the counter-insurgency work in Southeast Asia, and with this lesson learned, the person in charge they send out will definitely be a general! ” Ferdinand lamented

Civilian presiding over counter-insurgency will definitely consider politics first, and then consider the military. In many cases, even for political interests, they will do it even if they know it is not desirable in the military.

It's different when it's military generals. Their political sensitivity is naturally lower. They will think more about military issues, and their military command capabilities are much stronger.

They don't develop strategies that look brilliant on the surface but fail to accomplish.

The situation in Southeast Asia is now completely corrupted, but it has become easier to quell the chaos.

It's a pity that the mob is just the mob. The origins of the rebels are too complicated. They can still work together when facing a common enemy. Once the enemy disappears, they will fight among themselves.

When the British regroup and return, the rebels whose internal conflicts have intensified will no longer be a threat.

Unless there is a power group among them that can overwhelm everyone, integrate everyone, and establish a new country.

Then after reunification, they will have the power to fight the British. After all, the army is not John Bull's strong point. As long as they win this battle, they can really be independent.

However, Ferdinand was not optimistic about them at all, and the British were about to get serious next time. The British Empire with full firepower was simply not something a group of rabble could deal with.

With the Royal Navy blockading the coast, and with a steady general, two hundred thousand British troops would be enough to put down these rebellions.

After all, the Southeast Asian region has not been able to be completely connected, which is very unfavorable to the rebel army. Under the blockade of the British navy, it is difficult for them to obtain supplies.

After a few battles, the rebel army without ammunition will fall apart.

From this point of view, the rebel army has been able to persist until now, and instead of being finished, it has grown stronger. Churchill, the British commander, is the number one hero!

"Your Majesty, do we want to take advantage of the chaotic order in Southeast Asia to cause a little trouble for the British?" Megeve suggested.

"Well, now is the best opportunity to smuggle weapons. These rebels should have a lot of money in their hands, so let's help them spend some.

By the way, the weapons and ammunition sold cannot all be produced in Bulgaria, but also include some weapons and equipment from other countries, so as not to let the British see the flaws!

Moreover, this time it is not convenient for us to come forward in person, hire a few people from outside to do it, let them show their faces, and our people try not to show up.

As long as the Bulgarian government does not personally participate, even if the British know that we did it, they can only suffer from this dumb loss if they can't find evidence! "Ferdinand thought for a while and said

"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Megeve
