Holy Roman Empire

The changes in the battlefields between Russia and Russia have directly affected European financial markets. For a while, the market value of all war bonds issued by the Commonwealth of Populus fell sharply.

Anyone with common sense knows that if Mao Qi is unable to turn the tide in the following wars, after the defeat of the Pupo Federation, there will inevitably be a debt default.

The financial winter is coming.

Prime Minister Benjamin, as far away as London, felt chilled.

There is too much debt, and sometimes it doesn't really crush.By now, the most afraid of the completion of the Commonwealth of Pope, except for themselves, is the British.

The more information in his hands, the better Prime Minister Benjamin knows the seriousness of the problem.

The defeat of the Poppo Federation not only turned the loans that were released into bad debts, the bonds issued for them into waste paper, but also the money owed by the Berlin government.

The preceding losses are nothing more than financial institutions and speculators. These people themselves are rich and have strong anti-risk capabilities.

The latter payment is different. Large enterprises may be able to resist the past. The capital chain of small and medium-sized enterprises is weak and cannot withstand tossing.

If coupled with the bank ’s robbery, the day when the Commonwealth of Popper dies, it is the beginning of the British industrial crisis.

The actual situation may be even worse, after all, the capitalist world already has excess capacity.After the war, market competition will become more and more intense, and the bankruptcy of enterprises is inevitable.

For Britain, which has a big business, these small and medium-sized enterprises do not account for too much of the economic structure, but it is these enterprises that provide the most jobs.

The good brothers of the bankruptcy wave and the unemployment wave have always been "Focus on Meng, Meng is not out of focus."An unprecedented economic crisis has begun to brew in Britain.

Sometimes knowing too much is also a burden.

Benjamin asked: "Sir Edward, what do the French say?"

If you want to reverse this war, it is no longer possible for the British family. The French's position is crucial.

Foreign Minister Edward shook his head: "The Paris government rejected our proposal. They believe that the contradiction between Russia and Russia can no longer be resolved. Even if this war is forcibly stopped, there will be another war.

The French bet on both sides in this war, and the loss of defeating them by the Pupo Federation was not great. Even they might have secretly reached an agreement with the Russians."

Prime Minister Benjamin nodded helplessly. He knew the grievances between England and France.The French wished the British were out of luck. How could they pull them out?

In the case of the Russian-Russian war, the British and French initially supported the Berlin government, but the British got the gold reserves of the Pupo Federation and almost swallowed financial interests.

Facts have proved that single food is not so delicious.The more you eat, the greater the price you pay.The British took over most of the loans and bonds of the Berlin government.

The French chose to let go for a variety of reasons.In addition to too few benefits, there is also the development of French Africa, which requires a large amount of investment, and the Paris government artificially restricts capital outflows.

Although the greed of the capitalists has not been blocked, the total outflow of capital has shrunk significantly.

Without government guidance, these capitals flowed not only into the Pupo Federation, but also a considerable portion into the Russian Empire.

It is equivalent to betting on both sides, no matter which side wins, the French share is indispensable.The interests involved are less, and the Paris government is naturally not active.

Napoleon IV was different from his father. He happened to be born in the revival of France. He was born with a sense of arrogance, and it was impossible for him to surrender.

It can be seen from France's foreign policy that the Paris government's foreign policy is getting tougher, and the relationship between Britain and France and France and Austria has been deteriorating in the past two or three years.

The British Army has limited strength, and it is not enough to intervene in this war.

Now that the French are not willing to fight, the London government has essentially lost the ability to directly intervene in this war.

After a moment of contemplation, Prime Minister Benjamin said fiercely: "Then come second. No matter what method is used, we must find a way to save the Kingdom of Prussia. We need creditors to exist and give an explanation to the country."

After the defeat, the Kingdom of Prussia naturally did not have the ability to repay debts.However, as long as the creditor is present, there is a possibility of repayment.

After the war, the Berlin government had limited financial resources. Perhaps for many years, their annual repayment amount was not enough for interest.

But hope is better than no hope.The London government needs a hope to give people confidence in the market.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Garfield: "Prime Minister, you are too pessimistic. Perhaps things are not as bad as you think, and the Federation of Popo is still fighting.

If Mao Qi works wonders and wins the Warsaw battle in front of the Russians, they still have the possibility of ending the war decently."

The Foreign Secretary Edward denied: "Sir Garfield, this is impossible. There are indications that the Austrians want the Pupo Federation to lose this war and lay the foundation for the reunification of the German region.

Even if Mao Qi created a miracle, he still can't change the fate of the defeat of Pupo Federation.With the support of Vienna, the army of the tsarist government will continue to flow, and eventually they will be killed."

"Quantity advantage", perhaps this is the place that touches the European countries the most.The Russians proved it with facts: "As long as there are enough troops in our army, the enemy can do nothing."

...

When the British tried to make up for their losses, the Russian-Russian war entered a new stage.The Russian Fourth Army has been completely ruined by the generals, and can only rely on the simple fortifications.

Surprisingly, the general army did not sect out the Fourth Army of Russia completely. Instead, after fighting the Fourth Russian Army, it left two infantry divisions and a group of militia posing as the main siege of the Russians, but the main force moved north quickly.

In order to avoid the Russian airship investigation, the general army chose to sleep in the day and march at night this time, and quickly reinforced the Warsaw battlefield.

On November 10, 1880, the main force of the general army arrived in Warsaw, and together with the Warsaw defenders launched a counterattack against the Russian army. The Russian Fifth Army suffered heavy losses under defense.

This was just the beginning. After the heavy losses of the Russian Fifth Army, they were forced to retreat with their residual parts. The horned Russian Seventh Army was also exposed to the general army.

Facts have proved that after losing their military superiority, the Russian army is really not an opponent of the general army.

The 7th Russian Army failed to create a miracle. The comrades reminded them that it was too late, they failed to evacuate in time, and lost a third of their troops under the attack of the general army.

The Warsaw battle ended with the victory of the generals, but Mao Qi's face did not show any joy, because the time that belonged to them had been lost.

No way, the Russian army is not paper-based, defeating the Russian fifth army rely on sneak attacks, they only spent two days, defeating the Russian seventh army they spent five days.

Time on the battlefield is life. At this time, the Russian Third Army and Sixth Army were only 200 kilometers away from them.

Theoretically, it is still possible to intercept on the way and delay the enemy's marching speed for ten days and a half months.

For such a long time, they can also aid the South Line, for example: first kill the eighth army of the enemy besieging Poznan, and stay in the central Russian ninth army.

In fact, this is simply impossible.General soldiers are also human beings. If they want to maintain the combat effectiveness of their troops, they will need time to repair after the battle.

Even if only two days off, Mao Qi's time is not enough.

Not to mention that the distance from Warsaw to Poznan is only 278 kilometers. The train can go from dawn to dawn. However, it can take hundreds of thousands of troops to pass, and it can not be completed in one day or two days.

The passing of the army does not mean that the war can be started immediately.It also depends on whether the enemy is willing to fight against them. The Russians can completely delay the time.

For example: looking for favorable terrain to stick to.If they were not annihilated anyway, the general army ’s rear would be unstable, and the longer it dragged, the better it would be for the Russians.

Before they could kill the Russian Eighth Army, the Russian reinforcements arrived in Warsaw again.The main force is not there, and Warsaw must not be able to hold it.

The fall of Warsaw also means the fall of Poland.At that point, even if the Russian Eighth Army was killed, Mao Qi could only withdraw in vain to defend the Kingdom of Prussia.

Abandoning the Polish region, the Pupo Federation has lost this war.After losing most of its territory and population, only the remaining war potential of the Kingdom of Prussia is even smaller, and there is no capital to fight with the Russians.

Without time to resolve the threat from the southern front, they can only hope that the defenders in the country will be able to give a little more power, insisting that they kill the Russian reinforcements and then return to the country.

The prerequisite is that this is the last batch of Russian reinforcements, otherwise Warsaw's offensive and defensive battle will continue.Judging from the current situation, the war is more likely to continue.

Looking at the map, Mao Qi was at a loss for the first time.

"Marshal, this is the report from our statistics. Please look over." A young officer whispered

Mao Qi raised his head and waved his hand to signal the young officer to put down the battle report.After a moment of silence, Mao Qi, who calmed down, slowly opened the battle report.

The cold figures on the paper seemed to instantly drop the temperature in the room by a few minutes.

The war is about to kill people. In the past month, the general army has achieved brilliant results, killing the Russian Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, and the Russian Seventh Army.

A total of more than 430,000 enemies were annihilated and captured, and the Russian Warsaw offensive was dismantled in one fell swoop, creating a world-shocked "Warsaw victory."

However, behind this glory, there were also 110,000 general soldiers who fell permanently on the battlefield, and an additional 150,000 wounded.

This is only a casualty. In fact, they paid far more than this price. Civilian casualties are not mentioned, and Mao Qi did not take the Polish seriously.

Economic loss is not his concern for the marshal, and the consumption of weapons, equipment, and strategic materials has to be ignored.

In just one month, the General Army destroyed half of the ammunition in the warehouse and consumed nearly one third of the strategic supplies.
