Mediterranean Hegemony Road

On the European battlefield, with the addition of Western Russia and Austria-Hungary, the Germans seemed to have returned to the First World War, and fighting on the third front was no fun.

Even with the support of the British, the Germans are still at a disadvantage. They were all burning the war to France, but now they have to retreat.

The Spaniards joined the war, and the advantages of the Holy Alliance on the European continent were too obvious, and the Franco government naturally couldn't resist the temptation.

The eastern and southern fronts were flanked by Russia and Austria. The Germans had already been restrained by a large number of troops, and the western front encountered the Franco-Spanish coalition forces.

Although the strength of the Spaniards is limited, a big country is a big country. Even if the combat effectiveness is discounted, a million-strong army is not just a muddle.

The German Prime Minister said solemnly: "Everyone, the first batch of reinforcements from the British has arrived, and it won't be long before reinforcements from the countries of the Pan-International Front will swarm in.

This time we will not fight alone. The internal meeting of the Pan-International Front has confirmed that within the next six months, we will receive at least 1.8 million reinforcements, and within a year, this number can be doubled!

Now I ask you to hold the line of defense, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then launch a counterattack! "

Chief of Staff Guderian frowned and said: "Your Excellency, we have tried our best. Since the outbreak of the world war, the supplies promised by the British have been delayed.

The submarines of the Holy Alliance are raging across the Atlantic Ocean, and the British can no longer guarantee ocean transportation. We will face the embarrassment of insufficient supplies for a long time in the future!

Compared with the lack of supplies, the problem of insufficient troops is easier to solve. We can amend the conscription law and adjust the age of service members to 17-58 years old, which can solve the urgent need! "

There is also a need for a reason for losing a battle. The German army on the front line is retreating steadily. It must not be because the enemy is too powerful. This argument is politically untenable.

Then we can only continue to look for reasons. Insufficient troops and insufficient supplies. These two excuses are too powerful, and either one can be used to explain to the people.

Guderian chose to use the lack of supplies as an excuse, which is undoubtedly extremely clever.

If there are insufficient troops, you can continue to recruit troops, and you can always expand under the militarism. Whether these newly expanded troops have combat effectiveness is another matter.

Guderian is naturally aware of this problem. He didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he emphasized the supply of strategic materials.

With insufficient strategic materials, the troops naturally have no way to fight. Under such circumstances, it is logical to carry out strategic transfer.

The prime minister frowned and said: "General Guderian, the government is already thinking of a solution to the issue of supplies, but it will take some time.

The biggest question right now is when our troops will be able to stabilize the main situation. On the western front we have already retreated to Belgium, and if we retreat, we can only rely on the Rhine River for defense.

The Western Russian army on the eastern front is attacking Poland, and we can only be beaten passively; not to mention the southern front, the Austro-Hungarian Empire directly attacked our homeland, and the Bulgarians also showed signs of sending troops.

If we can't stop the enemy's attack, the flames of war will soon reach our hinterland, which is very unfavorable to us! "

Guderian thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency, we are also very clear about this issue. The staff recommends abandoning Belgium, retreating to the Rhine River, and confronting the French along the river.

Concentrate superior forces and give priority to defeating West Russia. Their strength is the weakest, and they are the easiest to open the gap and get rid of our third-line battle situation! "

Giving up is easy to say, but hard to do. Among other things, morale alone is a big problem.

Secondly, even if they defend from the west and attack from the east, they are not very sure of winning. After losing air supremacy, no shadow of the Blitz was seen.

British goods are not durable, so it doesn’t matter if the plane can’t beat the enemy. After all, the sky belongs to Bulgaria in this era, and the Germans were attacked by the air forces of Bulgaria, France, Austria-Hungary, and West Russia at the same time.

Is it strange to win?

The problem is that the British are also lagging behind in terms of army weapons and equipment. Not only are they inferior to Bulgaria, they are not even comparable to the army powers such as Austria-Hungary and Western Russia.

The same weapons and equipment produced by German arsenals are of much better quality than those produced by the British.

The typical pirated version exceeds the original genuine one. Unfortunately, the Germans have limited industrial production capacity and even worse weapons research and development capabilities, so they have to rely on the British.

"General Guderian, it is no problem to retreat to the Rhine, but you must ensure that the Rhine is defended. This is our bottom line!" The Prime Minister said very responsibly

In this period, the German government, despite constant internal struggles, was united when it came to the outside world. It lost once, but now everyone can't afford to lose.

The morale of the German army is at its highest right now, fighting for the living space, the original ten-point combat effectiveness can score twelve points.

When the weapons and equipment were slightly behind and the troops were not superior, the fact that the German army was able to fight against the French army was enough to explain the problem.

If it weren't for the participation of Austria-Hungary and Western Russia, they would still be fighting against the French now!

It's a pity that there is no if in reality. The potential of the Germans is too great. If Bulgaria wants to secure its position as the world's hegemon, there will be no rise of major powers on the European continent.

On the European continent, there are only four major powers: Austria-Hungary, West Russia, France, and Germany.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire is a multi-ethnic country, and it is okay to engage in economics with peace of mind. If you want to develop the military and play for hegemony, you should wash up and sleep!

West Russia is not much better, the Soviet Russia next door is still eyeing, and the relationship with East Russia is not good.

Moreover, both Western Russia and Austria-Hungary are neighbors of Bulgaria, and geopolitics has determined that they can only farm honestly.

The development potential of the French is indeed great, but they have been led astray now, and the French people have the most revolutionary spirit. Once France rises, it is better to support the French people's revolution.

Only the Germans are difficult to deal with, and they are unswervingly advancing on the road to industrialization. In recent years, Germany's industrial development rate has not been lower than 8%. If you don't hit them, who will you hit?

...

"Your Majesty, the Germans have begun to shrink their strategy. The western front has withdrawn to the Rhine River, and the southeastern two fronts are also fully defending!" Foreign Minister Coleman said with a frown.

Little Ferdinand's face darkened, and the Germans shrank back. The original plan to use the war on the European continent to consume the British's strength was no longer feasible.

With the Rhine blocked, the French have no way to break through in the short term, and it is impossible for Western Russia and Austria-Hungary to make a desperate effort. Bulgaria can't send troops to fight the Germans in person, right?

"The Germans have carried out a strategic contraction, so the next step is to see our battle with Britain!" Little Ferdinand thought for a while and said

Prime Minister Tolsky analyzed: "Your Majesty, we have also considered this situation. The French, Austria-Hungary, and Western Russia will certainly not be able to cooperate sincerely. The success rate of relying on them to consume the strength of the British is not high.

The most important thing now is the African battlefield. Once we occupy the British South African colony, the situation in Asia will inevitably change.

We attacked India from Persia, and Eastern Russia attacked India from Central Asia, plus the Japanese in the Far East, the British would definitely not be able to defend it.

Without these two colonies, the finances of the British Empire would collapse, and the Commonwealth of Nations should also be disintegrated! "

"Well, but this is not enough. At this time, we should bomb the British Isles, and the Irish Independence Organization should also start to move!" Little Ferdinand said after thinking for a while.

The plan to bomb the British Isles has existed for a long time. In history, the Germans could bomb London, which made the British unable to satisfy even the replenishment of supplies.

Not to mention the Holy Alliance now, the biggest advantage is that the Balkans are far enough away from the British Isles that the Bulgarians can bomb them unscrupulously, but the British cannot retaliate.

At most, they can only vent their anger on the French and Spaniards, or bomb Bulgaria's colonies, none of which will hurt Bulgaria's core interests.

Can the British hold on? Bulgaria is not German, and has a lot of allies, so don't worry about singled out the pack.

Now Little Ferdinand has enough air force to bomb the British Isles, and the Holy Alliance also needs to contribute. Even if there is soy sauce, a hundred or eighty pilots will always be able to come out, right?

Without making a contribution, how can we share the spoils? Bulgaria is not doing charity either. If the promised spoils want to be fulfilled, they still have to speak on the battlefield!
