18th century total war

Chapter 331 Far East Empire
"Prime Minister, the country of Greece is being destroyed by Aristotle himself. Aristotle has gone crazy. He used butcher-like means to send all the sons, brothers and fathers of the Greeks to the battlefield.

Give the soldiers the daughters, sisters, and mothers of the Greeks for their pay.

Due to the continuous flow of troops from the Greek Defense Forces, we have to shrink our troops and concentrate them in a military port. However, if we continue at this rate, if we do not provide enough support, I am afraid that our last stronghold on the Greek Peninsula will also be breached... …”

After the British Minister of War finished speaking, the Minister of Finance stood up and suggested in a relaxed tone:
"My lord, according to the current actions of the Aristotle government, we don't need to continue to send military power to the Greek peninsula. We just need to wait until next winter. The Greek peninsula will be starved, and the Greek Republic will be in trouble because of food. in chaos.

And Aristotle, who caused all this, no matter how outstanding his military talent is, will be sent to hell by the hungry Greeks.

Even if the tyrant Li Wei sent an army into Greece at that time, what he got was a piece of ruins with only corpses and wasteland. Apart from leaving a large number of garrisons on the Greek peninsula, the tyrant Li Wei would not be able to obtain any supplies from this land in a short time.

Greece, is self-destructing. "

Prime Minister Pitt nodded slightly and replied with great agreement: "I agree with your point of view.

But can you guarantee that the situation in the Central European battlefield can be maintained until next winter?
If the Prussian Allied Forces were defeated by the lunatic army brainwashed by the tyrant Levy, the Kingdom of Prussia became Levi's playground, and the Russian Empire was forced to sign an unequal peace agreement with the tyrant Levy in fear of defeat, where would Great Britain go?
Once the tyrant Livy solved the war situation on the Eastern Front, Spain and Portugal on the Iberian Peninsula were like a piece of eight-mature steak in front of the tyrant Livy's lunatic army.

I remember that the intelligence department once reported to me that Levi liked this steak the most.

Ministers, pillars of Great Britain.

You might as well speculate briefly, how can we save the Iberian Peninsula by then?

Should we rely on the Spaniards who lost their capital because they were beaten by the French, or the Portuguese who could not even defeat the decadent Carlos IV government? "

"Master Prime Minister, as long as there is enough military budget, the Ministry of War can recruit hundreds of millions of Indian servants for Great Britain and set foot on the European battlefield!"

"Oh my God!
This is the biggest joke I have heard in this century. You actually think that Great Britain can arm and support hundreds of millions of troops!

Do you want to empty the pockets of every British citizen and distribute weapons to the untouchables of India? !

Don't make me think the War Department is nothing but fools and slobs! "

"enough!
This is the Prime Minister's Office, not a place for you to fight and bicker! "

Prime Minister Pitt turned to his Secretary of War, looked straight into his eyes and said coldly:

"Don't mention your Indian servants anymore. I am very clear about the 'excellent' performance of the [-] Indian servants on the Greek peninsula. I don't care about the death of [-] Indians, but the [-] Indians didn't take the initiative to come to help Great Britain war.

No matter how cheap soldiers are, there are costs. The swords and spears armed with [-] Indian soldiers and even the muskets that have been eliminated are also money!
An army that can't even beat the Greeks, why do we have to go to such trouble to have the great British Royal Navy transport them to Europe?

Is it just to make the land of Europe more fertile? ! "

"My lord, the [-] Indian troops severely damaged Aristotle's elite troops in the decisive battle on the Greek peninsula, which is also the direct cause of the current situation of the Greek Republic."

"That is the feat won by the brave and fearless King's German Legion at the cost of more than half of the casualties!

Rather than stupid, meritorious deeds made by Indian pariahs who are only worthy of being used as fertilizer for the land!
Minister of War, you should be glad that you made these remarks in the Prime Minister's Office. If you dare to 'boast' about the Indian Servant Army in this way in Parliament, no one can protect you.

I hope everyone can remember that the failure of that battle was caused by the private rout of the Indian servant army. It was the disintegration of the Indian servant army that affected the performance of the heroic King's German Legion and caused the general of the British King's German Legion to They had to make a decision to retreat strategically.

Otherwise, after that war, the Greek Republic should no longer exist!
This is not your first day in politics, so you should be able to understand the meaning of this sentence.

For the sake of everyone’s bottom position, I hope you won’t mention India’s strategy to me again in the future. "

"My lord, the performance of the Indian servants on the battlefield is terrible, but they still have many advantages.

No matter how many Indians die on the battlefield, our government will not be condemned in any way, and even the nobles in the parliament are ashamed to use such things to impeach the cabinet government.

Moreover, the dead Indian Corps will not cause any aftermath troubles for the government.

Even now, no one outside knows how many Indian untouchables died during the training and transportation process behind the [-] Indian servants.

Great Britain is not responsible for the lives of Indian untouchables, but the lives of Indian untouchables can become Great Britain's war consumables. "

"You are right, but we must admit the fact that the Indian servant army, which cannot even be dealt with by the Greek Defense Forces, is impossible to fight against the tyrant Levi's brainwashed lunatic army on the battlefield.

Today, Greece has been turned into a huge national military camp by Aristotle, the presidential dictator who is likely to be controlled by the tyrant Levy.

Great Britain's strategy on the Greek peninsula has failed!
Because it is impossible for us to send elite red shirts to land on the Greek peninsula in an all-round way, fighting desperately with the group of Greek militias who have just picked up their guns for less than three months.

Doing so will only lead to the cabinet being impeached by Parliament!

There will be a lot of people scolding us for wasting taxpayers' wealth! "

"Master Prime Minister, if the Greek strategy fails completely, in the next cabinet election, we are afraid..."

"That's why I called you here today!

The situation of the Fourth Anti-French War was much worse than we expected. The performance of the Ottoman group of pagans on the battlefield was far worse than their performance on the surface. The capital of the vassal state! "

"Master Prime Minister, the Ottoman Empire has an advantage in the Balkan battlefield, the Bulgarians are being exterminated, and the Ottoman Empire's army is 'purifying' the Balkan Peninsula."

"I know!

But what does that do for the anti-French coalition?

No matter how many Bulgarians or even other Balkan peoples were massacred by the Ottoman Empire, what good would it do for Great Britain? "

"Master Prime Minister, at least the people in the Balkans who support the tyrant Li Wei are decreasing and eventually dying out."

"Hmph, I was looking forward to that moment.

It's a pity that the tyrant Li Wei won't give the Ottomans that long time.

The most important thing is that, whether it is the Bulgarians or the Romanians in the Balkans, those messy descendants of barbarians, even if they are all dead, the tyrant Li Wei will not blink.

What the people of the Balkans support is not the rule of the tyrant Li Wei. The tyrant Li Wei only hypnotized a few high-level leaders in the three Balkan countries.

The Balkan people fought desperately with the Ottoman Empire only because the Ottoman Empire had brutally enslaved the Balkan people.

Even if the Balkans were extinct, it would have no effect on the tyrant Li Wei.

Haven't you noticed it yet?

The real supporters of the tyrant Livy are the local high officials hypnotized by him, the French Defense Forces, and the cabinets of the vassal states!

In the eyes of the tyrant Li Wei, the people ruled by him are just the fuel for the war to realize his ambition of expansion and aggression!
You go and look at the wars since the rise of the tyrant Li Wei, as long as it is a battle related to him, didn't that time kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?
From the beginning of the French Revolution to Li Wei's ascension to the position of Emperor of France, the population of the French Empire has been reduced by several million!

From the first anti-French war to the present, how much population has been reduced in Central Europe?
If it wasn't for worrying about causing public panic and social unrest, I would have exposed the truth of the tyrant Li Wei's death long ago!
The tyrant Li Wei followed and used some of the political concepts of the French Revolution, just to squeeze the bottom civilians more conveniently, so that every civilian's output can be collected by him, and then turned into bullets and gunpowder to pour on his enemies On your body!
Once the tyrant Livy truly unified Europe, he would be more cruel than any other tyrant in history.

As long as the tyrant Li Wei thinks it is beneficial to him, or even just something that the tyrant Li Wei is interested in, no matter how many innocent people die, the tyrant Li Wei will grab it without hesitation! "

"Master Prime Minister, we know the profound disaster that the tyrant Levi brought to Europe and Great Britain, but we cannot protect ourselves now..."

"That's right, we have the natural barrier of the English Channel and the strongest shield of the Royal Navy, so we don't seem to need to worry about the threat of the tyrant Levi.

However, the tyrant Levi who has integrated the entire European resources will become the most terrifying enemy of Great Britain. Just like the Roman Empire back then, can a mere strait really stop the tyrant Levi who owns the whole of Europe?
Of course, what we should be thinking about now is not the future of Great Britain, but where our asses lie.

Therefore, we can put aside the future threat of the tyrant Levi and do everything possible to restore our lost political prestige in the Greek peninsula.

What do you think is better for us than peace?

People throughout the British Isles are calling for peace, and none of the civilians like war, because those who die in the war are their relatives and friends.

The failure of investment in the Greek Peninsula should also make the capitalists of Great Britain understand that war does not necessarily lead to wealth.

Moreover, if the war continues, the foreign debts of Russia and other countries will only increase. Once Berlin falls, I am afraid that those creditors will have no place to collect their debts.

Great Britain did not have the ability to collect debts from the tyrant Livy's armies.

Stop losses in time, maintain peace on the European continent, and first let those big countries that have been devastated by the war pay off their debts. I think there will be support from many capitalists and nobles.

In this way, we have a case for persuading Parliament. "

Prime Minister Pitt smiled again.

As for the post-peace Levi government can have enough buffer time to digest the fruits of victory in the fourth anti-French war and become stronger, that is not what Prime Minister Pete needs to worry about.

Prime Minister Pete has no energy to worry about the situation in Europe, nor is he in the mood to think about the future of Great Britain. He just wants to keep the prime minister's throne under his ass!

"Master Prime Minister, I have to remind you that it is not difficult to persuade the parliament and the king to choose peace, but peace alone and the peace brought about by failure are not enough to save us."

"That's right.

However, as long as the fourth anti-French war is over, we can deploy our troops to areas where it is easier to obtain benefits.

The negative impact of the failure of the war naturally needs a victorious war to wash away.

In fact, as long as the opponent we choose is not the terrible tyrant Levi, what country in this world can resist the great United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland?

It just so happens that I have a target that is both rich and huge, with sufficient size, but militarily weak.

By defeating him, we can not only wash away the shame on the Greek peninsula, but also bring huge benefits to Great Britain. The nobles and capitalists in the parliament will definitely toast to our victory.

No one can refuse wealth, including you and me! "

"Your wise Prime Minister, may I take the liberty to ask, which country in the world is so beautiful?"

"Far Eastern Empire.

It was the empire where the tyrant Li Wei admired culture very much. I remember that the country name of the Far East Empire seemed to be Qing Dynasty.

They didn't even have their own national flag. Later, after coming into contact with advanced European civilization, they realized that a country needs a flag as a face.

Such a country that is so ignorant and backward that it does not even know the importance of its national flag has a population of tens of millions, enough to sell silk, tea, porcelain and countless other goods that are out of stock on the European continent.

If it weren't for opium, Great Britain would still have to make money for the court of the Far Eastern Empire for high profits.

The court ministers of the Far Eastern Empire are too greedy, and the trade tariffs on opium have long been raised to the level of the gallows!
To be honest, I am disgusted by the greed of the court of the Far East Empire. "

“Prime Minister, I don’t quite understand, are we going to invade a huge empire that is incredibly rich and has a population of tens of millions?

Is this empire still thousands of miles away from Great Britain?
Is this really an opportunity to wash away the shame? "

"When I first learned about the situation of the Far Eastern Empire, I felt the same fear as you.

Thousands of miles away, there is actually a unified empire with a population comparable to that of the whole of Europe.

However, after learning about the Far Eastern Empire, I am very glad that there is such an empire thousands of miles away that has not been discovered by European bandits. "
