Holy Roman Empire

The landing battle continued into the evening, and the night marked a comma with the battle.At this time, the Russian army had successfully landed and established a camp.

The news of victory has been passed to the Constantinople Coalition Command with the return of the airship force.The celebratory banquet had already begun, and Arrest, the commander in chief, did not participate in the celebration.

According to reports from the airship force, the Russian army also paid a considerable price during the landing process. Even a troop carrier was hit by enemy shells and almost sank in the port.

With the firepower being suppressed in full, and bombs falling in the sky, the defenders still carried out effective counterattacks, which proved that the defenders were not waste.

If the defender is smart enough, he will retreat and defend.Anyway, the naval naval gun has limited range, and if you go back a little bit more, the shells will not pass.

In the field, the short soldiers meet, and the role of airship bombing is also lost.Once the two sides fought together, no one dared to throw a bomb down anymore, and no one could afford the responsibility of accidentally injuring friendly forces.

Knowing it, knowing that Arrest did not propose to dissipate it. Anyway, all died of Russians. Russian generals are not afraid of casualties. Why should he bother?

Silently, the analyzed situation was reported to the Vienna government.Arrest arranged for the navy and airship forces to continue to attack the coastal cities of the Ottoman Empire, and the fighting in the Ava area was entirely given to the Russians to command themselves.

At midnight, the Ankara Royal Palace was brightly lit, the news of the coalition landing in Ava had spread, and the Sudanese government could not sleep.

Frankly speaking, this is strategically beneficial to the Ottoman Empire.If according to the plan of the Vienna government, as long as the scorched earth plan is implemented within a 30-kilometer area of ​​the coast and the people are expelled into the interior, the refugee tide can collapse the Sudanese government.

However, this does not please the Sudanese government. Russia and Austria are both great powers. As long as the two governments are willing to increase their military input, it will be no problem to open a few more fronts.

Abdul-Aziz I: "The enemy has landed in the Ava area. It seems that our judgment is no problem. The Russians cannot tolerate the closure of the Black Sea strait for a long time.

All we have to do now is to drag the enemy in Ava, until the Russians cannot withdraw from the war, so the Black Sea Strait cannot be lost.

Before that, we still have to solve the threat of enemy airships. What plans does the military have?"

War Minister Elmed: "Your Majesty, according to the analysis of the data from the front, neither the rifle nor the artillery can pose a threat to the airship, so only the airship can deal with the airship.

The Ministry of War recommends purchasing a batch of airships from abroad as soon as possible to deal with enemy airship forces.Before that, we could only use rifles to interfere with the enemy."

Almond knew the industrial strength of the Ottoman Empire and chose imports rather than producing them wisely.

This is not to say that the Ottoman Empire cannot be produced. The problem is that the quality of the airship produced is not guaranteed.What should I do if the performance is not good?

This kind of oolong incident happened frequently in the Ottoman Empire.Taking the imitation breech rifle as an example, Ottoman is even more embarrassed than the Russians. On the basis of being stupid, big, thick and tall, it also adds "advantages" such as frequent jamming and frying.

"It is better to buy than to make" has long been recognized by the military. Elmerd has no confidence in domestic manufacturing.

You do n’t know much about airships. In the eyes of many people, this weapon that can fly in the sky is a high-tech product, not an Ottoman empire, so buy it!

To some extent, this decision is completely correct.Due to the degree of corruption of the Ottoman bureaucracy, they are responsible for producing airships, even if they cannot fly.The most feared one just fell down after flying up, and it would kill people.

...

In London, the British government is also discussing the issue of airships, regardless of the size of the role, what others have, Britain must also have, this is a matter of principle.

Navy Secretary Robert sarcastically said: "The airships are being spread madly outside, and even some media are catching the wind, and the era of irresponsible saying that it belongs to the sky has come.

This is completely nonsense.Not to mention that the performance of the airship is not stable enough, even if it is flying into the sky, will we have no choice?

Is it difficult to design an artillery for air attack?At that time, the airship built at a great cost is a living target in the sky, and you can't find a bunker if you want to avoid it."

Just kidding, how many years has the sea power era begun, and the Royal Navy has not enjoyed enough glory, how could the era of "air power" come?

The live target may be exaggerated, but the airship is not invincible.And the cost of the airship is still very high, far exceeding the army equipment, are almost catching up with the naval warships.

Army Secretary Fox agreed: "Yes, the airship is indeed not as powerful as the outside world says, but it still has certain value in the military.

Especially in land warfare, this overhead threat has a great impact on the morale of the army. The Army Department proposes to add an army airship force to protect British airspace."

The Secretary of the Navy Robert immediately retorted: "To protect the security of Britain, just hand it to our navy. As long as the Royal Navy is there, the enemy cannot come over.

Airship troops are placed under the navy and used to deter overseas enemies in order to maximize their effectiveness."

...

The dispute between the two sounds awkward.It is obviously full of contradictions that it devalues ​​the airship's role in the front and wants to include the airship force in the back.

But Prime Minister Gerston was too lazy to care about it, it was nothing more than a need for political struggle.The army and navy first teamed up to fight down the status of the airship force, but they wanted to earn their own power and increase their voice in the battle for military expenses.

Gerston waved his hand: "The two, the time for the annual budget has not yet arrived, don't quarrel in such a hurry. If you are interested in the airship force, go back and do it yourself!"

This is permissible. The Army ’s military spending is at its disposal, and only needs to pass the review by Congress.It is legal to play against the Air Force Airship Fleet and the HNA Airship Fleet.

The implication is that everyone can hear that there is no problem with the airship force. It would not work if the government wanted to increase military spending, at least not now.

Prime Minister Gerston is not a military white. He knows very well that the airship force cannot be established in one day. At least it takes time to develop and manufacture the airship.

The Austrian airship force has been in existence for more than ten years, but it has a relatively low presence and no brilliant record, which has been ignored by everyone.

Even if the Vienna government does not pay much attention to it, after so many years of development, the airship manufacturing has also come a long way.Britain wants to catch up, and it will take several years no matter what.

Prime Minister Gelston does not believe that crossing from a civilian airship to a military airship can be accomplished in a few days.Moreover, there are very few civil airships in Britain.

There are no airships. What do you use to build an airship force?At this time, increase the special military appropriation, that is, meat buns and dogs.The army and the navy have done such things as cheating on military expenses.

In particular, the navy is one of the leaders, and the French and Austrian navies provoked an arms race and deceived military spending together, but it spread throughout the European continent.

Since the window paper was pierced, so many years, no arms race broke out in the three countries.Who wants to promote the "two strong standards" again, everyone's first reaction is "the military fraud has come again."

The fact once again proves that as long as John Bull does not engage in things, there will be far fewer international conflicts.The British Parliament does not increase military expenses for the Navy, and the arms race will naturally not proceed.

France and Austria are just unwilling to accept the "two strong standards", which does not mean that the two countries are ready to surpass the Royal Navy. The financial gap between everyone is still obvious.

France + Austria> Britain> Austria> France, this financial relationship is still very clear to everyone.

There is no war in a short period of time in Britain. Why should you be so anxious?After a few months, the arsenal should design a military airship, and it is not too late to discuss the issue of forming an airship force.

If you ca n’t figure it out, you can also buy it directly from Austria, or exchange technology.There is no such thing as a technical blockade this year, as long as you throw money at any technology you can buy it.

Prime Minister Gerston was not in a hurry, and what is causing him headaches now is the Irish issue.Britain is a big colonial country. If it gives Irish regional autonomy, what should overseas colonies do?

On this issue, the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party have been arguing for many years, and it has continued to the present. There is still no result.

This is a problem of positioning. The London government initially defined Ireland as a colony, not a homeland, which triggered this series of problems.

The bourgeoisie should bear most of the responsibility for this. For many years, the Irish have not been able to integrate. The most important thing is that the capitalists want cheap labor and refuse to treat the island of Ireland as a local.

Including the Irish famine from 1845 to 1852, the factors of human disasters exceeded natural disasters.After the famine broke out, the London government not only did not mobilize food relief.

Instead, capitalists and landlords were allowed to raise the prices of local agricultural products. In just seven years, the local population of Ireland fell sharply by a quarter, and the seeds of division were planted.

Since then, the Irish have become independent and self-governing.National integration, don't dream, the two sides simply can't urinate into a gourd.

Prime Minister Gerston is pursuing, and wants to solve the Irish problem completely, to pull out this hidden danger for Britain.

In his view, this issue is more important than the Near East War.When the British Empire was strong, the Irish problem could be suppressed.Once Britain fell, this hidden danger threatened British security.

The British Isles are self-contained, which is based on the mutual recognition and unity of everyone. If someone leads the party, the British homeland is not so safe.

...

In Paris, the French government no longer cares about airships, and they have not paid much attention to the Near East War.

At the Palace of Versailles, Napoleon III had reached the end of his life. The high-level government gathered together and waited for the emperor to take a breath.

With the death approaching, Napoleon III will naturally arrange the future.The Crown Prince Eugen was 18 years old, about the same age as Franz succeeded to the throne. Napoleon III thought that his son could handle the government affairs, and the regency would not be needed.

After arranging the afterlife, the others were sent, leaving Crown Prince Ou Ren in the room.Napoleon III grabbed his son's hand, and the father and son looked at each other.

"Ou Ren, the empire will be given to you. France is not as stable as it seems on the surface, and the undercurrent inside has never stopped.

Remember to be vigilant at all times. Paris has not been stabilized since the Revolution and the new folk ideas are too active.Like a gunpowder barrel, a little bit of Mars may explode.

What France needs now is to lay a solid foundation. Before thoroughly digesting the Italian region, it is necessary to avoid wars with European countries as much as possible.Even if we really want to fight, we cannot take the initiative to provoke war.

European countries are very vigilant to us. The annexation of the Italian region is the final bottom line of all countries, and the next step is the abyss hell.

And ... be careful ... English ... Aust ... "

Before the words were finished, Napoleon III swallowed.Leaving at this time may also be a good thing for him.Compared to the sad ending of the original time and space, Napoleon III is now an unprecedented success.

Economically, French industry and commerce developed rapidly in the era of Napoleon III, making it the second country among the powers to complete industrialization.He also let Paris successfully get rid of the "smelly" character series, and from then on, "smelly London" remained in Europe.

Politically, Napoleon III broke the shackles imposed on France by the countries after the Anti-French War and completed the great rejuvenation of France.The annexation of the Italian region satisfied the people's dream of a great power.

Diplomatically, the alliance of the three countries of Britain, France and Austria was established, which established France's status as a great power in the world and got rid of the situation of isolation.

Militaryly, it doesn't matter if it's not mentioned, and it doesn't have any merit.Fortunately, no achievements have been made in this respect, otherwise the French Empire is still in existence, all of which are unknown.

The Prince Ouren, who had been crying for a long time, stolen his inner grief and gently dropped Napoleon III's hand.Convene the crowd to discuss the aftermath.

The death of the emperor is a major event, not only to deal with the things behind, but also to consider the political impact.
