Mediterranean Hegemony Road

In the end, naturally, Wallicot's surprise was not unexpected. Although the British and French coalition forces now have absolute military advantages, the number of people may not be able to win the war.

The battle on the western front was once again in a deadlock. The British and French forces had more troops and the Germans were more effective. The two sides still fought a half-dozens, and were unable to distinguish between victory and defeat in the short term.

In order to break this situation, Britain and France naturally set their sights elsewhere. Their first reaction was to flicker the Russians. As long as Russia is willing to exert its strength, now the allies will definitely endure the third-tier war.

Unfortunately, now that the Tsarist government has just launched an internal struggle, Nicholas II is busy with the aftermath. No matter how the British and French flicker, it is impossible to use large-scale external troops until the internal struggle of the Russians ends.

Then they surrendered their eyes to the southern line, only to find that the two sides were playing hot, and they could not win in a short time.

Wallicot's sudden proposal naturally attracted the attention of the British and French governments. After a bit of calculation, they found that although the Austro-Hungarian Empire was now being fought, would the Germans be able to survive as long as Austria-Hungary was over?

As a result, Walliket ushered in an unexpected gain. Britain and France decided to increase their troops by 100,000 to cooperate with him. In order to maintain the dominance of the war, Walliket had to turn to the country for help again.

"General Walcott asked for support now, what did the General Staff plan?" Ferdinand asked

Acting Chief of Staff Klosf responded with confidence, "Your Majesty, we plan to draw eight infantry divisions and two heavy artillery brigades from the newly formed volunteer army to form a total force of about 140,000 reinforcements. In addition, the Air Force will also be in Italy. Airports to the north threaten Austria and Munich, Germany "

Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction. The staff's plan is still very reliable. At present, Walcott has about 170,000 troops that can be invested in the Austrian Raiders, plus 200,000 troops reinforced by Britain and France. At present, 140,000 troops are dispatched in the country, and the total troop strength has reached 50,000.

This is enough to launch a medium-sized conference battle. You need to know that this time Britain and France did not collect colonial troops. In order to break the deadlock as soon as possible, they also cost money. They are elite troops drawn directly from the western battlefield.

Of course, this is also their adequate force on the western front. Even with up to 300,000 to 400,000 casualties per month, they can all roar, and there is no pressure to take out the 200,000 troops.

Ferdinand knows that the Allies are now tangled again. Where should the Allied Powers come from over 500,000 coalition forces, where should they draw their troops to deal with them?

Opening a front is not a simple issue. In addition to the military, the most important thing is the consumption of materials. This is undoubtedly a thunderstorm for the allies.

Add another Italian front, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely not be able to roar. The Germans will also be very uncomfortable. The army may still be able to find a way out, but the strategic supplies will be in trouble.

Of course, this is an issue that Hindenburg should consider, and it has little to do with him.

After pondering for a while, Ferdinand said deeply, "Well, let's do this. This world war has been going on for too long, and it has also had a very large impact on our domestic economy. We will end this as soon as possible. War, it might be a good thing for us. "

It is certainly a good thing for Bulgaria to end the war at an early date. After all, basically everything that should be obtained now can be obtained after the war.

At the same time, this war also successfully weakened competitors, such as Italy and Austria-Hungary, two brothers and brothers. Most of them were to be removed from the powers after the war.

The three countries, Britain, France, and Russia, have also been hit hard to varying degrees. In the next two decades, everyone will lick wounds, and they will no longer be able to continue to suppress the development of Bulgaria.

After eating and drinking, and the enemy hanging, naturally there is no need to continue fighting

If they continue to fight, it is estimated that Americans will jump out and pick peaches. Once this war cannot be won in the short term, Americans will certainly not refuse to participate in British and French wars, and will pay a large price to win them over.

The cake is so big. If there is one more share, the others will naturally only take one less. This is obviously not something Ferdinand can tolerate.

As for the later generations, the Americans were put together by British and French and did not benefit from the First World War. This is to take out the ordinary people. Anyway, Ferdinand will not believe it.

Standing in his current position, he realized how amazing the Americans' gains in the First World War were, and even the combined benefits of Britain and France were less than half of them.

First of all, through this war, Americans increased their centralization. Before the outbreak of World War I, although the United States was not a piece of sand, it was actually not much better.

But after the end of the First World War, the United States was truly integrated, the federal government ’s influence on the local area increased, and domestic capitalists also recognized the strength of the union. The road of American hegemony has begun.

Secondly, the United States has established its status as a great power in the military, especially in the Washington meeting. The United States achieved the world's first naval tonnage equivalent to that of the British. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. com This means that the United States has realized the transition from an economic power to a military power, and stepping on the shoulders of the British, greatly improving its international influence.

Finally, it is the economic benefits. Not only has it got rid of the European capital's control of the domestic economy, it has also changed from a debtor country to a creditor country. It has also penetrated the European continent through economic means, and it has also contributed to World War II. The outbreak has planted seeds.

Compared with these gains, the American colony's gains are really nothing, but even if the entire colonies of the allies are added up, they cannot be compared with the foundation of the world hegemony.

It is these hidden benefits that make Ferdinand do everything possible to prevent Americans from participating in the war.

Anyway, as long as the Americans do not participate in this world war, the US government will not be able to increase its military investment like crazy in history, at least the Congress will not pass.

Without the crazy investment in the military, it would be impossible for the United States to achieve parity with the British after the war, and even the international status would not improve much. This can be considered as a comprehensive restriction on the development of the United States.

Not only did they curb the improvement of American hard power, but also cracked down on their improvement of soft power. After the war, they also faced the full suppression of the British. Anyway, there was a lively look behind

Whoever asked them to expand the navy would be similar to dumplings. After the end of the World War, their gross tonnage would be about the same as that of John Bull.

Historically, after the end of the First World War, Britain and the United States almost fought for the Canadian issue, but in the end a little accident happened, and John Niu reluctantly made a concession.

Not to mention this time and space. John Niu ’s strength is better preserved, and there is support from France and France. There is no need for them to recognize Americans.
