Holy Roman Empire

Albrecht: "From the current situation, the coalition forces will be able to successfully meet on the Kizil River next month, and the first phase of the coalition combat mission has basically been completed.

In order to better adapt to the battlefield situation and end the war as soon as possible, the coalition headquarters decided to adjust the military deployment.

After the division of the Ottoman Empire is completed, the troops of each country will be re-divided.

In the next round of strategic planning, the Russian army is responsible for the Raiders west of the Kyzyl river, with the emphasis on winning the enemy capital Ankara as soon as possible.

The Austrian army is responsible for the strategy to the west of the Kyzyl river. The strategic core is to win the two river basins and further divide Ottoman.

In view of the heavy losses on the battlefield by the Greek army and the Montenegrin army, they have been unable to undertake the next stage of combat missions. The coalition headquarters decided to cancel the next combat missions of the two armies and carry out a one-month repair.

After the troops have been repaired, the tasks of the two armies are to clean up the local guerrillas and maintain the stability of the newly occupied area. They will be responsible for the specific areas and will be deployed later based on actual needs.

Does anyone have any questions?"

The final question is clearly directed at Greece and Montenegro. The division of labor between Russia and Austria is known at a glance to be coordinated in advance.

The heavy loss was just a pretext, kicking the Greek and Montenegrin troops out of the fighting sequence also meant that they lost their right to speak in the distribution of loot.

Marshal Maxim Trentiev of Montenegro: "No problem, our army has laid off more than 600 people, and it really needs to be repaired."

Both battalions were destroyed, and the troops would no longer be repaired, and the strengthened regiment of Maxim Trentiev would be scrapped.

Puglius said nothing. This time was not a time for bravery. Otherwise, it would annoy the coalition headquarters, and if a mission was sent to death, Greece would have to pay all of it.

Russia and Austria can withstand tens of thousands of casualties, which is more than the loss of soldiers, but Greece can not.

In the previous battle, the Greek army paid more than 5,000 casualties. This ratio is not much lower than Montenegro, and the morale of the army's heart has been greatly reduced.

...

The situation on the battlefield is becoming clearer, and the post-war split of money has also been put on the agenda of the Vienna government.

The pre-war agreement was just a verbal agreement, which can only be used as one of the reference standards at most. It is up to the strength to decide how much to divide.

The performance of the four countries of the Anti-Turkish Alliance on the battlefield and their contribution to the war will become the core standard for the distribution of stolen goods after the war.

In addition to this, we must also consider the political influence and the feelings of our allies and try our best to satisfy all parties.

Prime Minister Felix: "Although Greece and Montenegro did not make much effort on the battlefield, their participation has brought a political bonus to the alliance.

In particular, the Greeks died a minister, increasing the legitimacy of our war.These additional effects must be considered by the government.

When we mobilized the Armenians to launch an independence movement, we promised to let them build the country independently, and we also need to give them a statement after the war.

The other Ottoman nations that respond to the Union also need to give them an explanation, so that the outside world cannot read the joke."

Not the world ’s leader, many of the Austrian government ’s practices are moving closer to world hegemony.

When the boss can't do without a younger brother, if you want to win the support of younger brothers, you must let everyone see tangible benefits.

While taking into account the interests of the younger brother, he must not damage his own interests, otherwise it will become a major injustice.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "The nations responding to the alliance are mainly Greeks and Slavs, spurred by the Greek government and the Russian government, respectively.

After the war, it is sufficient to hand over to the two countries for resettlement. Those who do not want to leave can also stay. Anyway, the small number of people does not constitute trouble.

The trouble is that the Armenians established their country independently, which has involved our future strategic deployment.

Austria needs to set an example and convince everyone that as long as they cooperate with us, they can achieve national independence.

Naturally, the founding of an independent country is indispensable for territories. Drawing a piece of land from the Ottoman Empire and letting the Armenians become independent will inevitably reduce the profits of us and the Russians.

The most important thing is that this place is not easy to choose. We ca n’t give up the two river basins, and even the Asia Minor Peninsula ca n’t emerge as a country within a country.

The best option is the generation of the Caucasus Mountains, where the land is barren and the lowest value, Armenia can also become a buffer after independence, reducing the border between us and the Russians.

It is just now that they have fallen into the hands of the Russians, and we want to pay a big price for the Tsarist government to spit it out."

Supporting the independent founding of Armenia was actually directed towards Britain and France, and it also impacted the Russians in a sense.

There are not many ethnic groups urgently in need of independence in Europe. The Irish, Italians, and Poles are definitely the top three, followed by Bulgarians, Scots, and Baltic national independence.

The Poles can be neglected for the time being. They have been seriously injured in the Russo-Prussian War, which will not be relieved for a while.

The Irish and the Italians are the most likely ethnic groups in Europe to break out of the independence movement, and they are also the focus of the Vienna government's business development.

Armenia is a magnet that attracts the cooperation between the independent organizations of the two countries and Austria. When Austria and Britain and France meet, this is the best killer.

Admiral Kastagni suggested: "Maybe we can help the Russians develop the navy to make a deal. Now it is the age of the ocean, and I am not afraid of the Russians being unmoved."

"But the Tsarist government has no money!"

Chancellor of the Exchequer Karl ’s words directly caused Castagni ’s many reasons to be stillborn.

The navy is a golden beast, and playing navy in poor countries is a disaster.

Based on the revenue of the Tsarist government, the ability to achieve a balance between revenue and expenditure is the result of God ’s blessing, and the development of the navy is simply unrealistic.

What seemed to come to mind, Franz suddenly said: "Russians have no money, then make them rich.

Before that, we must first lure the Tsarist government to take the bait.

The navy is undergoing a technological revolution, and our fleet of battleships will soon be eliminated by the times.

It was just used for waste utilization and sent to a fleet of the tsarist government as compensation for their ceding land to the Armenians for their independent statehood.

The Kingdom of Prussia is over, the Danes are also traditional allies of the Russians, and the last obstacles of the Baltic Sea no longer exist.

Constantinople was firmly controlled by the Russians. After the Near East War, the Black Sea became the inner lake of the Tsar.

We are also allies of the Russians. They opened the door to the Mediterranean Sea. The strategic situation of the Russians is unprecedentedly good.

All the obstacles no longer exist, and the Navy is now gone.This is a golden age for the Russians to develop the navy, and someone within the tsarist government will definitely see it.

Sending a fleet to the Russians and igniting the tsarist government's enthusiasm for naval development is of great strategic significance to us in the future.

Montenegro and Greece can also follow this example. If there is no land allocated to them, they will be rewarded with warships."

The government of Vienna has decided to provoke a new round of naval arms race before the advent of the fearless ships. Now these battleships are bound to be eliminated.

Remaining in the hands is a burden. If you want to sell them all, there is no such gold tyrant in the world.

According to the past practice, these unmanageable warships are usually converted into merchant ships, and cannot be converted into school training ships. The final destination is either to become the target of naval target training or to be sold. Scrap iron.

It can't be said that it is a pitman to give to allies. Austria's backward goods are still the main force in the hands of the Russian navy.

Admiral Kastagani said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, we are too bad to lose such a warship, at least we have to recover the cost?"

Whether they sell second-hand warships or are converted into merchant ships, they can provide the Navy with a sum of military expenses.

Franz said with a smile: "Our allies can't afford to pay the price. Even if the price is low, I don't think the tsarist government has the courage to buy a fleet.

Moreover, it is not really a gift, but we have exchanged political interests.As for the loss of the Navy ’s military expenses, would n’t it come back after service?

If it is not enough, you will sell them a part of the small warships, help them complete the port upgrade, and promote the Austrian standard to the navy of the allies.

The navy of the Principality of Montenegro is almost zero, and you can toss about it casually; the Greek navy is still British, and you need to help them correct it; the Russian navy still stayed thirty years ago, and your business is very much."

Franz once thought that free is the conscience of merchants. After being beaten by society, he had to admit that free goods are the most expensive.

It seems that I did not pay for this service, but in fact, I have already paid for it elsewhere.

While presenting warships, the Austrian navy standards can also be promoted, and the benefits contained therein are definitely not low.

Looking at the army, we know that through a series of operations by the Vienna government, Austrian equipment has become the most popular weapon in the world.

More than half of the countries in the world have adopted Austrian weapons, and Austria has occupied 73.6% of the army ’s arms exports in the international arms market.

In contrast, the Navy will be much more tragic. The international arms market is overwhelmed by the British. It occupies less than 10% of the market, which is completely incompatible with its strength.

"Your Majesty, the tsarist government's finances are very bad, and it is almost impossible to want them to become rich," Finance Minister Carl reminded

Franz nodded: "We can sign a long-term supply contract for raw materials with the Russians, overdraw the Russians' future earnings, and increase the funds that the Tsarist government can mobilize in the short term.

To help the Russians upgrade the military port, they can also be fooled into dual-use military and civilian, and use the future income of the port to make up for the previous investment.

To mobilize our influence in Russia to build momentum, let the age of the sea penetrate the hearts of the people, and praise the important letter of the power of the sea.

Let the tsarist government believe that the reason why the Russian Empire is poor is because it gave up the ocean and died of the mainland.

After the Tsarist government took the bait, talk to them about the territorial transaction.For the territory of the Russian-Ukrainian region, a high price was reported, so that the tsarist government's pockets were bulging.

Perhaps we lost money on the surface, but after a toss of the money, it will still return to Austria.

As long as it can stimulate Russian ambitions for the ocean and induce the tsarist government to shift its strategy to the Indian Ocean, it is a victory.

When necessary, a false market prosperity can be created in Russia, making the tsarist government think that it has recovered its vitality ... "

This is a big game, and it can even be said to be the biggest game since Franz succeeded.

Not only the anti-Turkish alliance is framed in it, the European countries, and even all countries are pawns on the chessboard.

This is a trivial part of this grand strategy for the Russian strategic induction.This big game started as early as a dozen years ago.

Due to changes in the international situation, several minor adjustments were made midway, and Franz has barely completed the layout until now.

It is not necessary for all strategic plans to succeed, as long as one-third achieves their goals, Austria is the winner.
