402 Political Art

With the beginning of the anti-Semitic movement, the atmosphere on the European continent has become more and more depressed, and anti-Semitic activities in various countries have emerged endlessly.

This is just folk, and the government's top concern is not anti-Semitic, but the tsarist government took the opportunity to get rid of the financial crisis.The Russian Empire with money can be called an empire.

In the Royal Palace of Berlin, William I said he was very panicked.However, William I can become "William the Great", the city is naturally not lacking.I was panicked, but I was in control.

The king's calmness reassured the Berlin government.They are not fighting alone in this war. The supporters behind them have a big help. As long as the big brothers behind the scene are willing to increase their investment, they are not without chance.

Under the direction of William I, Foreign Secretary Mike Kate said: "After our diplomatic efforts, the Swedes have already made some moves.

As long as we win another big victory in next year ’s war, they will most likely be on our side.

Now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working hard to publicize the Ottoman Empire. Both London and Paris have given clear answers, and they will push the Ottoman Empire into the war.

The British also promised to cause trouble for the Russians in Central Asia and the Far East.

We are also lobbying the British Parliament to allow the Royal Navy to block the Baltic Sea and cut off the Russian maritime transport corridor.

... "

It sounds good. In fact, understanding it from the perspective of workplace rhetoric is almost the truth.

The Swedes were moved, but they were just ordinary Swedish people, and King Carl XV was a little bit involved in the war.

Of course, if the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Russian Empire, the Swedish government would not mind participating when it fell.

"Efforts to publicize the Ottoman Empire", in other words: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has tried its best, but has not achieved any results.

It is true that Britain and France are pushing the Ottomans to join the war. However, the Sudanese government is still not advancing, and continues to watch the situation.

"British promise" has always been farting, just let go, don't hold too much hope, this war still depends on Prussia itself.

"Lobbying the British Parliament" is a century-old project. I don't know when the lawmakers will pass the proposal.

To sum up: our allies are many, as long as the military wins the Russians on the battlefield, these allies will come up to help divide up the spoils.

The elites of the Kingdom of Prussia were able to appear at the meeting, naturally understand the meaning behind, but everyone tacitly chose to act silly.

If none of the top executives have the confidence to win, what should the following people do?Whether it is out of appeasement or to let go, morale cannot be dissipated.

Ron, the Secretary of the Navy, said: "There is no hurry to win over Sweden and Ottoman. As long as we continue to win, they will join in sooner or later.

The only way for the Royal to block the Baltic Sea is to proceed immediately.Only by cutting off the Russian maritime transportation channel can we win."

It is more likely to achieve this than to draw pressure from allies to share the pressure and cut off the Russian maritime transport corridor.The British have always been firm on the issue of combating the Russians.

The maritime transportation channel was cut off, and even if the tsarist government had money, it would be difficult to obtain sufficient strategic materials.

By land transport, Russian traffic will become the best ally of Prussia, restricting the number of troops sent by the tsarist government.

In this era, the total length of the Russian Empire ’s railways was more than 3,000 kilometers, and Spain, the German Federation, and Prussia had more than them.

The Russians had more than 70,000 kilometers of railways in World War I, and they could not support the needs of millions of troops on the front lines.

The Junker nobles dared to challenge the Russians, only to see that the Russians had limited power.If the Tsarist government could invest millions of troops on the front line, no country in the world could withstand it except Fau.

Foreign Secretary Mike Kate explained: "It takes time, the British are still hesitating, they are worried about the blockade of the Baltic Sea ..."

Ron interrupted politely: "No matter what, we cut off the Russian maritime transport line one day earlier, and we will increase the odds of winning by one point in next year's war.

The British haven't moved, or are the capitalists wanting to make war money?Anything to say, we have all the orders placed by the Russians.

Direct showdown with the London government, if they want us to win the war, immediately blockade the Baltic Sea.

If they don't want us to win this war, we can't win the Russians alone, anyway, we might as well see the Russians as a compromise.

The big deal was to sell the Poles, restore the pre-war border, and lose to the Russians.Whatever the British love, let them be as good as they like."

Ron is fearless. The Kingdom of Prussia has owed hundreds of millions of pounds of debt to the British, and can only afford it if it wins the war.

If the war is lost, the existence of the Kingdom of Prussia is a problem. Who is it asking for money from?

If the British did not want to invest all in water rafting, then cutting off the Russian maritime transport line was the only option.

The European political system has determined that these people dare to gamble.Winning further, the loser or rich side.

"Just do it!"

William I made a decisive decision and was a gambler at the table.If you want to look ahead, you should give up early.War is not a child's play, and the odds of winning are very important.

...

In London, Prime Minister John Russell embarrassedly discovered that, unconsciously, they were tied up with the Prussians.

It was originally intended to fight a proxy war, but as time went on, they invested more and more power.

Especially after the Battle of East Prussia, they sold 30 million pounds of war bonds for the Berlin government. Now all the debts of the two countries have exceeded 100 million pounds.

The debt holders are mostly ordinary people. If you do n’t want to lose the next election, it ’s better not to let this debt become a bad debt.

Although the Prussians mortgaged tariffs, railways, and mines, if the Prussian kingdom no longer exists, can these collaterals be cashed?

John Russell did not think that the Russians, French, and Austrians would recognize these debts.Even if it is for your own benefit, the Prussian piece should be kept.

"Sir Edward, is it difficult to block the Baltic Sea?" John Russell asked

Navy Secretary Edward replied confidently: "No, the Royal Navy has enough strength to complete this task."

Blocking the Baltic Sea is not about letting them rush into the Baltic Sea to kill the Russian Navy. There is really no difficulty for the Royal Navy.

Foreign Minister Raistlin said dissatisfiedly: "Of course you have no problem. The Royal Navy can kill the Russians ten times, but our problem is bigger.

As neutral nations, if we venture into this war, we will inevitably bear enormous diplomatic and public pressure."

The interests are moving. Once the Baltic Sea is blocked, the trade of many countries will be affected. Diplomatically, they will inevitably be under pressure from European countries.

Prussians can take orders from Britain and Russia, which does not mean that they have the strength to take orders from the Russians in other countries.

Not all countries are easy to bully. If they offend people now, they will certainly be retaliated against in the future.This will bring huge trouble to their next diplomatic work, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has naturally become a hero.

Prime Minister John Russell comforted with a smile: "Sir Raistlin, this is just a small problem, I believe you can solve it.

As long as the great strategy to weaken the Russians is completed, the price now paid is worthwhile.At least compared to the Near East War, the cost we paid this time was much lower."

Everyone smiled at each other, and there was no harm without comparison.Not only did the London government of the Near East War spend hundreds of millions of pounds in military spending, it lost a lot of troops, and the most important thing was that it was fucking lost.

A war with both defeats and defeats is a failure for the British.The situation is much better now. The Prussians are desperately on the front line, and the money lent is also repaid.

As long as the record of losing both sides is a great victory for the British, if Prussia wins the war, they will make a lot of money.

Foreign Minister Raistlin hesitated and said: "There was news from the Minister of the Ottoman Empire, and the Austrians were doing small moves over there. They seemed to intend to provoke the war between Ottoman and the Russians.

We conducted an in-depth analysis and found no benefits for Austria after the outbreak of war between the two countries.

If it is to weaken the Russians, as long as they slightly delay the speed of material transportation, it will be enough to cause heavy losses to the Russian army."

At this time, the Arabian Peninsula was a desert, and there were at most a group of camels, which was simply not worth prying into.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Agarwal speculated: "Perhaps it has something to do with the Suez Canal. The Austrians want to take control of the Suez Canal and began to lay out in advance."

Navy Secretary Edward questioned: "But this is a bit unreasonable. Many domestic experts believe that the Suez Canal is not navigable.

Even if it is dug, in the end, it can only allow some small boats to pass through, which simply does not have any strategic value."

It was all a disaster caused by experts. The British had already organized experts to carry out exploration. The experts reached the conclusion that the Suez Canal was not navigable.

This erroneous conclusion directly influenced the decision of the London government. When the Suez Canal was dug by France and Austria, the British rushed to the Suez Railway project.

As in history, until the Suez Canal was opened, the British did not consider the Suez Canal valuable.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Agarwal said indifferently: "Who knows what the Vienna government thinks, they dare to invest large sums of money on the canal, and will they worry about being unable to navigate?

Of course, it is not necessarily for the canal.Franz is King Yelusan, maybe they want to regain the Holy Land."

The latter explanation is obviously more reliable than the previous one. Austria has already obtained the Sinai Peninsula, and the control of the Suez Canal has been half of it. Even if it controls the Red Sea, it cannot continue to increase.

In contrast, taking advantage of the Ottoman-Russian war was more convincing to recapture the Jerusalem area.

Colonial Secretary Steve suggested: "In recent years, the expansion of France and Austria on the African continent has been very fast, and we need to curb their actions.

In the African strategy of the Colonial Department, there is also a plan to occupy Ethiopia, and the Mande Strait, the gateway to the Red Sea, also happens there.

We can take the first step to occupy Ethiopia and stop the Austrian East Africa strategy."

"East Africa Strategy" This is a smoke bomb released by Vienna. In order to trouble Austria, in recent years, the British have not sold weapons to East African indigenous countries.

However, the plan could not keep up with the rapid changes, and the progress of the Austrian colony slowed down, and did not venture into the East Africa region, but consolidated the existing results.

The world is almost divided, the British colonial department naturally does not want to be idle, and the African colonial plan is released.

Foreign Minister Raistlin objected: "It is easy to block the Mandelieu, but if we really do it, we are ready to welcome the alliance between Vienna and Paris!

They excavated the Suez Canal at any cost just to get rid of our control of the Strait of Putuoluo, and brashing the gesture would trigger a fierce rebound from Fau.

Before we are sure whether the Suez Canal has strategic value, it is in our interest to match up with France and Austria in advance."

The butterfly effect is powerful. In the original space-time Mediterranean, only France was a naval power. The Royal Navy still waited for the Franco-Prussian War to gain control of the Suez Canal.

The situation is different now. The French and Austrian navies together have the strength to challenge the Royal Navy, at least in the Mediterranean Royal Navy lost its advantage.

Moreover, the channel and the canal are not the same, the difficulty of control is not a grade.In any case, it is dozens of kilometers wide, and the navy is going to block the door.

It seems that it is tempting to keep France and Austria in a large bath in the Mediterranean Sea. If the actual operation is not good, it will bury the British maritime hegemony.

The colonial minister Steve retorted: "This kind of situation may indeed happen, but as long as the operation is good, it may not match up with the two countries.

We just plan ahead and plan ahead, and we can completely compromise when necessary."
