Holy Roman Empire

Time passed in a hurry, and March passed.If you declare war for a month, Franz will treat it as a joke if you change the time.

There is no way that war serves politics.Such nonsense has really happened in reality.

In order to buy time for the Ottoman Empire, European countries withdrew their overseas Chinese at a snail-like speed.Dealing with property, as its name implies, is in fact buying time for the Ottoman Empire to snatch supplies.

Once the war starts, don't expect free trade.However, the government of Vienna issued a note early, and any ship entering the war zone is at your own risk.

This is also the tacit agreement reached by everyone.If the Ottoman Empire is over, and the debts of countries such as Britain and France are falling apart, what can we do to calm down the wounded hearts of various countries?

Ottoman is also a veteran empire anyway, even if it is down, there are still family members.In those years, they had robbed many good things, and the payment ability was still very strong.

In the face of life and death, the Sudanese government did its utmost to raise funds to purchase materials.The treasures in the palace were evacuated, and the nobles also symbolized some of their wealth to support the war.

In addition to this reason, training for the Russians is also a reason.Fighting across the sea is not a joke. If you just wander around in the Aegean Sea, the bear's health should be able to withstand it.

If the soldiers attack farther away, and the soldiers have not gone through maritime navigation training, they will have to fall down on the road, and when they land on the shore, they are also soft-foot shrimp.

The tsarist government is a group of dry ducks, and has no experience of expeditions across the sea, so you can ignore this as one thing.

Austria has a lot of experience. If you do n’t train, kick the seasick guy out and wait for your nose to cry!

Facing an unreliable ally, Franz decided to endure.In any case, the Russians are fighting for Austria.

The harder the Asia Minor Peninsula fought, the smoother the war in the Middle East.Of these 150,000 Russian troops, the last half can be blessed by God.

If the commander of the Russian army is not capable enough, there may be another round.No matter how good the strategy is, someone needs to execute it.

Theoretically, it has the advantage of sea power, so it can avoid the reality and attack the weak areas of the enemy.But this also involves many factors such as intelligence, the commander's judgment, and the speed of the army's movement.

Ottoman is a religious empire, and the Sudanese government has called for jihad.Regardless of their combat effectiveness, at least many people are willing to work hard.

The early resistance will definitely be very fierce. This situation will change only after the painful casualties exceed their mental capacity.

Didn't the Tsarist government want to use Austrian hands to train troops?No problem, after the end of the war, they kept them and trained them, but they needed a little more blood.

If you lose money or take advantage of it, the problem is that the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom.

Looking at the preparation of the Ottoman Empire, Franz wanted to sway a truce, maybe it would be more appropriate to attack after three or five.

By that time, the strategic materials bought by the Ottoman Empire were almost scrapped, and the government's wallet was also emptied.

Or many shouting wolves come several times, and it is possible to achieve the effect of surrendering soldiers without fighting.

Just think about it. This time the real goal was not the Ottoman Empire, and Franz could not change the established strategy for the secondary goal.

After April Fools' Day, the ultimatum time has long passed.At this point, Franz is no longer allowed to delay the time.

"Order the navy to attack and bombard the coastal cities of the Ottoman Empire. Remember to salute first. We are civilized people. Before the bombardment, we send airships to spread leaflets."

In this era, the port cities were bombarded, and that was not possible at all. The number of victories that could be achieved depended on character.The destructive power caused is far less serious than the consequences of panic.

Franz, who always cherishes feathers, naturally has to salute first.In case the people in the port run away, wouldn't they save even the expulsion?

The goal of shelling the port city is not only to create chaos, but also to conduct fire investigations and choose landing sites.

There are many coastal ports in the Ottoman Empire, and it is impossible to fully arm, and there will always be weaknesses.

There were no radio stations in this era, and it was very difficult to collect intelligence after the outbreak of war.Even if you get the information, you have to go to the Persian detour if you want to pass it back. Time is not allowed at all.

There may even be a fall, which requires testing the commander's judgment.

...

Constantinople, Coalition Command

"At 10 am on April 5, 1874, our Mediterranean fleet launched artillery shelling at the Port of Finike, Alanya and Anamur.

It is initially judged that the fire defense rating of Port Fickney is C, and that of Alanya and Anamur are D.

At 3 pm on April 6, 1874, the Black Sea squadron launched artillery shelling at Ava and Karasu, and initially determined that the enemy's fire defense level was class B.

April 1874 ... "

Fire defense level, which is artificially divided by the Austrian Navy in order to distinguish the enemy's shore gunfire strength, it is divided into seven levels SABCDEF from high to low.

Looking at the military map on the table, Arrest was a little confused, not knowing where to start.As a naval general, marine warfare is not his specialty, and choosing a landing site is too difficult for him.

Soon he decided to give up and give the Russians the right to choose. In the event of choosing the wrong place, the final loss was heavy. That was also the Russian's own business.

"General Ivanov, where do you think it is better to land?"

Without hesitation for too long, Ivanov gave the answer: "Ava, it is the closest to the Bosphorus Strait. After taking here for up to two months, you can completely control the Black Sea Strait.

With this step, we won most of the war.If the enemy is to stay on the strait defense line, we can also drive straight into the Ottoman capital Ankara."

Needless to think and know why, since the outbreak of the Near East War, the Russians' foreign trade could not be separated from Austria.

Even if the Vienna government does not charge for crossing tariffs, freight is always indispensable.The railway company does not care whether the two countries are allies or not.

Imports are okay, it is not a big deal to buy Austrian products, and the reaction has little effect, but the loss of exports is too great.

Seeing that international food prices have been fired up, domestic food has piled up, and Alexander II is almost bald.

There is only one buyer left in Austria. If the capitalists do not take advantage of the price, will they still be the capitalists?Regardless of how the price of food in the international market rises, the purchase price of Austrian capitalists has not changed.

That's all. If they don't get through the Black Sea Strait as soon as possible, if they are dragged to the end of the year, what will they trade with the British?

Grain-for-loan activities cannot be stopped. Otherwise, the railway construction of the Russian Empire will stop.

After thinking about these issues, Arest deliberately reminded: "The importance of the Black Sea Strait is beyond doubt. The Ottomans also knew that they had deployed heavy troops in this area.

Or, choose an area where the enemy's strength is weak to land, mobilize the enemy, and then launch a full-scale battle."

This is an established strategy, and Arrest does not want to be abandoned by the Russians.If you land directly from Ava, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The Russians are not afraid of the heavy casualties of gray animals, but Arrest also dislikes money.You should know that all materials are borne by Austria.

After hesitating for a while, Ivanov nodded.Lord Jin ’s face is still to be given, and if Austria does not cooperate, they will not be able to swim through.

It is impossible for the 150,000 Russian army to land collectively at one time and divide troops to attack multiple areas, which will not affect his battle plan at all.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Arrest was very happy: "Well, I let the airship bombing team cooperate to see if I can take the opportunity to knock down the enemy shore gun."

There is no way, limited by technical problems, can not play the plane, Franz can only make up the airship, the bombing team is a low-profile version of the Air Force.

This unit has some embarrassment in Austria. Since its establishment, it has not achieved a record.There is not even a chance to perform on the battlefield, but the airship transport brigade performed well.

If it was n’t for the outbreak of the Near East War and the enemy ’s shore guns needed to be resolved before landing, it is estimated that Arrest would never think that Austria still has this force.

In recent years, Austria has generally been peaceful, except for occasional beatings in the colony, which is also a British-British war.

The enemies of the colony simply did not need the airship troops to go out.The "British-British War" was fighting again in a vest, and it was too conspicuous to take out the airship.Once the cover is lifted, the play is not easy to continue.

After waiting for so many years, the airship bombing brigade finally had a chance to perform.Franz transferred this unit to the Balkan Peninsula for the first time, preparing to test it in actual combat.

Although the original space-time airship appeared shortly after, it was eliminated by the aircraft.But the Germans also bombed the United Kingdom with airships, proving that the airship still has a certain military value. Is n’t it a problem to use it to bully the Ottoman Empire?

By the way, show a picture, attract the attention of all countries, increase everyone's military expenditure.

If every country had an airship and air force come out, and they would be eliminated after the plane appeared overnight, it is estimated that everyone's expressions must be wonderful.

...

Ava is just an ordinary port city in the Ottoman Empire. If there is any difference, it is probably close to the Bosphorus!

The spring wind blew across the ground, blowing the green ground, and the willow, but failed to blow away the smoke of war.

Since being bombarded by the Austrian Navy, the tranquility of this small town has been broken.The rich ran early, and the market became depressed.

Sudan ’s “jihad” order has been conveyed and everyone is mobilized.Without enough weapons, he developed it himself, and the business of the blacksmith shop in the city suddenly became popular.

As a veteran blacksmith, Akjoel was in a heavy mood, and he didn't even care about ironing.Thousands of efforts have become a matter of coping, as if not worrying about the loss of customers.

Now he does not worry about the loss of customers. For this "jihad", he has been requisitioned for free and has heavy tasks every day.

Akjoyre yelled at the apprentice: "The son of Emperor Smanragar moves quickly. If you can't complete the task, be careful to eat the whip!"

(Remarks: Before the Enactment of the Surname Act in 1934, the Ottoman civilians did not have a surname, one of the common names of "son of Emperor Smanragar")

"The son of Emperor Smanragar" is a young boy, only about 13 or 14 years old.Immediately after listening to Akyol, he speeded up his hand and complained:

"Master Akyor, what do you say we use to build these weapons? Isn't it all a gun used in warfare? With these gadgets, it is estimated that even the enemy can't get close."

Awa is a port city, and there are many people traveling from north to south. Everyone knows that the era of cold weapons is over.

Akyol glared: "Where is there so much nonsense, this is what the old men decided, and you need to worry about it?"

This question, Akjoer also wanted to know.Unfortunately, his limited knowledge restricted his ability to think, and he simply couldn't think of any use of these cold weapons.

In order to build these weapons, the lords and masters stolen the irons, because of the insufficient quantity, they also smelted many agricultural tools, and even iron pots.

Whenever I watched the farming tools that Xingxing had forged to turn into molten iron, Akjoy's heart was bleeding.

However, Akyor, who had already been cornered by his life, would not ask why, if the official lord let it do this, then it would do so.

Asked too much, isn't it wrong to whip down?The Ottoman Empire is not a country under the rule of law. If it is beaten by the officials, then it will be in vain.

The teenager was still a little bit dissatisfied, but he did n’t dare to hit the master. He seemed to be afraid of the whip of the official, but he just worked hard.

After a while, he complained again: "Huh! All blame the pagans, if it is not their invasion, we will not be so tired. When they come, I must give them some color to see!"

Akyol ignored the teenager's complaint, he did not want the enemy to land in Ava.Even if the characters of Dou Da don't understand a basket, he knows that the enemy is not so good to deal with.

When the last war failed, the Ottoman Empire lost its capital, and a large number of dignitaries fled in embarrassment. Akjoel saw it with his own eyes.
