Chapter 288 Allies

In addition, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg were also included in the German Confederation.

The political strategy of the Victorian government is very simple. In order to avoid the emergence of a dominant state in the German Federation, and thus integrate the power of the German Federation, while dismembering the original big state, it also stuffed states from other regions into it.

Except for Switzerland, which was not conquered by the British due to its mountainous terrain and unimportant geographical location, all other countries in Central Europe have become vassals of the British.

After the establishment of the German Confederation, the Kingdom of Switzerland, which was still resisting, had no hope of winning. It surrendered to the United Kingdom as an independent kingdom and joined the German Confederation, becoming a large state with the highest independence and no British garrison.

Even Switzerland can become a big state of the German Confederation. It is conceivable how much the German Confederation was dismembered by the Victorian government...

After the establishment of the German state, there were more than 300 states in it!

Of course, the state here is just a general term. Some semi-independent regions with the same status as the state are actually free cities, bishoprics, and so on.

During the British invasion, the originally independent small states were preserved, while the large states were dismembered, and the territory was divided into nearby small and medium states.

In this way, those small and medium-sized states that benefited will naturally become the hardcore younger brothers of the British, and will actively help the British to suppress nationalist extremists in the new territory.

In addition, the British army is still suppressing Greater German nationalism, trying to replace it with small nationalism exported from various states, and completely splitting the German region for easy annexation and digestion.

It's just that this work takes time to complete, and we haven't seen any results for the time being. However, there have been many guerrillas flying the German national flag and still active in the mountain forest.

At this time, the advantages of the Victorian government in establishing the German Confederation were manifested. For the sake of internal stability and to give the boss a chance to show off, those states took the initiative to send troops to suppress the German guerrillas in the mountain jungles, saving the British army a lot of money troops.

In this way, after the Victorian government annexed the German region, it still had the power to attack the Austria of the Habsburg dynasty.

At this time, Austria, which was attacked on both sides, also lost to the Orleans dynasty in the Italian peninsula, and the entire Italian peninsula wailed under the army of the Orleans dynasty.

For this reason, the Orleans dynasty and the Catholic Pope had a complete falling out.

The Holy See in this world is not a clay bodhisattva. The Holy See's Judgment Army soon became the main force in the Italian peninsula to resist the Orleans Dynasty.

At this moment, the political trap of the Victorian government succeeded.

Although the forces of Austria withdrew from the Italian region, the Holy See's Judgment Army made the invading army of the Orleans Dynasty fall into an anxious battle, even in a weak position!

A pair of good friends who had agreed to expand together, the Orleans dynasty encountered a hard bone, but the British have been expanding their territories!
Seeing that Austria under the control of the Habsburg dynasty is about to fall...

In the 17th year of the Sauron era, a [-]-strong army of the Sauron Empire officially landed in Scotland and broke through Zhang Zuolin's headquarters in Edinburgh in one fell swoop.

But the Continental world also experienced a huge shock.

The struggling Habsburg dynasty finally bowed its head. The Habsburg dynasty gave up the throne of the Holy Roman Empire and announced the demise of the Holy Roman Empire. The territory of the Habsburg dynasty also shrank significantly, leaving only the mainland of Austria The area remains.

The Czech and Slovak regions that were originally under the control of the Habsburg dynasty became independent one after another. The Kingdom of Hungary also became independent with the support of the British. Even the Silesian region was established by the British as a Silesian Principality...

The Duke of Silesia was a relative of Queen Victoria...

The entire Habsburg dynasty was completely dismembered, in exchange for the fact that the Habsburg dynasty was not like the Prussian Hohenzollern dynasty, and the entire family was uprooted by the British...

Who told them to resist the British army most tenaciously?

After defeating Austria, the Victorian government took the lead in establishing an Allied Powers organization, so all countries that became independent under the influence of the Victorian government voluntarily or were forced to join the Allied Powers.

In the Allied Powers, there are high and low points, and the Victorian government is the well-deserved leader. The treaties signed by the Allied Powers are also full of unequal obligations.

Except for the Orleans Dynasty and the Italian Peninsula, all countries in Central and Western Europe joined the Allied Powers.

The reason why the Orleans dynasty did not join was naturally because they wanted to obtain the same status as the British and were rejected.

Only then did the Orleans dynasty understand that they had been duped by the British.

But now the two sides are still allies, and the Orleans Dynasty is still fighting against the Holy See Judgment Army, and there is no time to care about it.

However, even though the Victorian government did not declare war on the Orleans dynasty because of the covenant, it still used the Allies to launch a diplomatic offensive.

With the full support of the Allied Powers, the revolution in Venice, which was invaded and occupied by the Orléans Dynasty and searched for people's fat and people's anointing for war consumption, succeeded, established the Republic of Venice, and quickly joined the Allied Powers to obtain asylum.

Immediately afterwards, the Republic of Milan also succeeded in its revolution and independence, and the Republic of Genoa also broke free from the violent rule of the Orleans Dynasty...

The Orleans dynasty suffered heavy losses for this, and finally suppressed the uprising of the Kingdom of Sardinia...

However, the Holy See Judicial Army privately signed an armistice agreement with the Orleans Dynasty at this time. Both parties realized that the Entente was too powerful and did not want Britain to continue to reap the benefits.

It's a pity that the Allied Powers have taken a decisive turn. The Holy See Inquisition Army and the Orleans Dynasty suffered heavy losses due to the war. After the armistice, the Allied Powers launched all their strength against them.

To deal with the Orleans dynasty, the Victorian government used revolutionary means to weaken it, and even sent British troops equipped with Hanyang-made weapons to take off their military uniforms and pretend to be revolutionary troops to support the local revolutionary organizations...

Regarding the Papal States, the Entente's approach was even more direct.

Showing a wave of national revolutionary ideas and armed exports, a coup took place in the Kingdom of Two Sicilies indirectly ruled by the Papal State, and the Republic of Two Sicilies was established, and the Holy See faction was completely suppressed in the political arena.

Then there was a coup in Tuscany and it became the Republic of Tuscany...

Under the operation of the Victorian government, the Papal States are surrounded by a circle of republics that do not respect them...

When the Allied Powers submitted a declaration of war to the Papal State, the Papal State had no choice but to surrender...

So far, there is only one Orleans dynasty left in Western and Central Europe that has not been tamed by the Victorian government.
