Holy Roman Empire

It’s too high to see everyone’s ideological awareness. Even in the 21st century with highly developed information, a rumor can deceive a group of people, let alone these days.

What's more, this is not a rumor, the coalition forces really completed a landing.

Even if the British army drove the enemy into the sea, the political impact was still caused.Politicians will make up their own minds:

"Since the coalition forces have landed once, they will be able to land a second time. As the defensive side, they cannot launch a strong counterattack. It is only a matter of time before they fall."

Originally, the Oceanic Alliance was on the verge of disintegration. With this wave of stimulation, unless God himself stepped in, it might be able to appease everyone.

The pressure was all over, and the Minister of War and the Minister of Military Affairs looked at each other, bitterly accepting this "giant pit" mission.

……

The British government was gloomy, and the atmosphere at the Palace of Vienna was not much better.The landing plan was completed, but the fleet suffered heavy losses in the feint attack.

The sinking of a battleship made Franz feel pain in his heart.For no other reason, this hapless battleship happened to belong to the Shinra Navy.

But overall, the losses are worth it.Using the sinking of a battleship in exchange for a successful landing is completely worth the money.

Tactics and strategy have never been equal.The successful landing means that the opportunity to disintegrate the Oceanic Alliance has appeared.

The British Empire without the wings of allies is a tiger without a catch.Although the mouth is good, it has lost the ability to hunt, and sooner or later it will be starved to death and trapped to death.

After a little thought, Franz resolutely gave up pursuing responsibility.Who knew that the British would not play their cards according to the routine, this is obviously not to say...

"Don't worry too much, death squads are easy to find, but pilots are difficult to train, and there are even fewer pilots who are willing to serve as death squads.

This kind of suicide attack by flying a plane is destined to be impossible to continue.It is estimated that there is only such a wave, and even if there are more in the future, it will be difficult to scale up.

How is the situation in the small town of Greer?How long can our landing force hold on there? "

It's not that Franz looked down on the British. Britain really doesn't have such a cultural tradition of "killing one's life for success".It is already a record to be able to gather a death squad pilot, and it is simply unrealistic to have more.

If it were really easy to do, there wouldn't be so few fighter planes participating in the attack during the day.

If the British put together a death squad of three to five thousand pilots in one go, the United Fleet could be crippled in one wave.

This is obviously impossible. If it is a Japanese, it may be possible to make it up.However, it also takes a certain amount of time to do ideological work. After all, only a small number of people have such a fearless spirit.

Minister of War Feslav: "Greyer's complex terrain is inherently unsuitable for large corps operations, which will be very beneficial to our subsequent defensive operations.

At present, we have invested an airborne regiment and an infantry regiment in Greer, and we will determine whether to continue to increase troops according to the actual situation.

Unless the enemy can block the air and sea at the same time, they will never take Greer from us! "

That's what makes a country strong with an army.Once the nail has been laid, it is very difficult to pull it out when the back-up is unblocked.

What's more, Greer was originally a landing point carefully selected by the military.It had been considered in advance that the enemy would counterattack, so it deliberately chose the small town of Greer, which was not conducive to the deployment of the large army.

Unable to give full play to the advantages of military strength, what is fighting is hard-core combat effectiveness.If this cannot be maintained, the Shinra Army will be embarrassed to gain a foothold in the world.

……

Chapter 158 The Wall Falls and Everyone Pushes

Time flies by, and half a month is fleeting.

Not surprisingly, after the news of Greer's successful landing spread, it was quickly magnified by the media.

Although I don't know which lump the town of Greer is, it is right on the island of England anyway.The Continental Allied Forces have reached the mainland of England. Is there any suspense in the subsequent war?

When everyone's point of view is almost the same, it is not the truth but the truth.Even the most rational politicians will inevitably be affected.

Washington

As one of the countries involved in this war, the government of the United States is now like an ant on a hot pot, running around in a hurry.

Secretary of State Pete Niedermeier complained: "The current situation is simply terrible. Since the outbreak of this war, I have never received good news.

The British guy is nothing but a waste, and he is still immersed in the glory of the past.Nothing else but bragging.

After being successfully attacked and landed for so long, they haven't driven the enemy into the sea. I'm ashamed to say that this is just an accident.

......"

It's not that Pete is small, it's that the British allies are too pitiful.Although the United States itself is also a scam, this does not prevent Pete from despising the British.

As a qualified American citizen, "hating the British" is just one of the most basic operations.

Of course, in this time and space, the people of the United States need to hate a lot. France, Spain, and Shinra are all enemies, but the British still firmly occupy the top position.

Even if everyone has become an ally now, it is still difficult to reverse this deep-rooted concept in a short while.

Pete was originally from England, but he was still a qualified American.Now that the British are acting so badly, they naturally have to despise them.

Picking up the cigar in his hand, puffing out a wave of smoke, Roosevelt waved his hand and said: "The British's performance is indeed clumsy, but the loss of the small town of Greer really has little impact on the defense of the British Isles.

For us, it's also a good thing.This kind of thing happened, presumably those guys on Wall Street will not ask us to continue to be tied to the British now, right? "

Wall Street doesn't like Shinra's unique nationalism, but it doesn't mean that everyone will fight Shinra to the end.

The fall of the small town of Greer had little military impact, but the political impact was earth-shattering.

Affected by this, Peru and Bolivia, which were originally neutral, have announced to join the Continental Alliance and declare war on the Oceanic Alliance.

Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay in the Oceanic Alliance also unilaterally declared a ceasefire on the grounds of restoring world peace as soon as possible.

Now the two sides are negotiating a truce. If there is no accident, the three soy sauce parties are going to jump ship.

As for Mexico and Colombia, which were pressed and beaten by the enemy, that's not to mention.The original government has long since fallen, and the new government has been on its knees since it came to power.

Even the reinforcements sent by the United States to the two countries were disarmed by these two unruly guys and the enemy.

The most unbearable thing for the United States was the Confederate States, who were ready to move. The shocking reversal of the situation gave the farmers in the Confederate States an opportunity to expand their farms.

If it's just these, it's not unbearable. The key is that the farmers in the Confederate States have set their sights on the United States.

There is no way, the best land in the world is either in the Confederacy or in the United States.If you want to develop a farm, you must aim at the United States in the north.

In this context, anyone with a little brain knows that the United States will be really dangerous if it continues to mess with the British.

Those who can gain a foothold on Wall Street are smart people, with innate keen judgment, coupled with the nature of pros and cons, Roosevelt does not think that these guys will play with Shinra head-on.

Secretary of State Pete replied affirmatively: "Of course not, those guys are all too busy to take care of themselves now.

They are too closely connected with the British. Once Britain is defeated, Wall Street will also suffer heavy losses.

It is said that they have withdrawn their capital from London, but unfortunately the British did not cooperate, and the stalemate is still in progress. "

The capitalists of the United Kingdom and the United States used practical actions to explain "what is capital without borders".

British capital has everyone investing in the United States, and the financial tycoons on Wall Street have also allocated a large amount of financial assets in London.

Today's London is like New York in the 21st century, gathering capital from all over the world.But any financial institution with a larger scale has allocated a large amount of financial assets in London, such as: stocks, bonds, futures, gold...

The only difference is that the financial capital of other countries has not yet grasped the right to speak politically, and likes to scatter their bets when investing.

The guys on Wall Street are embarrassed, because they dislike the various restrictions of the Shinra financial market, and they have been holding London heavily for many years.

Especially after the outbreak of the World War, the British government issued national bonds many times to raise funds from the outside world.

Because of the initial misjudgment, the wrong conclusion was drawn.A large part of the British bonds with high interest rates has been eaten by these guys.

After realizing the risk, he wanted to leave the field, but he couldn't find enough takers for a while.

Not only bonds, but also commercial loans, Wall Street also did not do less.

If you pay attention, you will find that British capital is the largest creditor of the U.S. government, and U.S. capital is the creditor of the British government.

At first glance, it looks like a triangular debt, but in fact, the Anglo-American capital has merged, and "I am in you, and you are in me" has been realized in a true sense.

In the original time and space, the United States was dragged into the water in this way.Now it's even more tragic. I boarded the pirate ship in a daze, and couldn't get off even if I wanted to.

……

It is not only the Americans who are in a panic, but also Chile and Japan who are also in trouble, and it is also difficult to disembark.

Chile was worried, mainly because when the enemy was colluding with the Vienna government, they ran to play with the British.

Now that Peru and Bolivia have transformed into members of the Continental Union, Chile's situation has suddenly become embarrassing.

The only thing to be thankful for is that they did not use their full strength when attacking Austrian South America in the early stage. They all circled around the outside and did not cause too many casualties to the defenders.

The less blood stained in the hands, the shallower the hatred formed, and the greater the room for maneuver.

Compared to offending the Holy Roman Empire, Peru and Bolivia are not worth mentioning at all.

Japan is struggling.Among the many member states of the Oceanic Alliance, apart from the British, the public enemy of the world, Japan has the most enemies and the most weight.

In the Philippine War ten years ago, Japan and the West formed a blood feud. Spain, which was hit hard and lost the throne of the great powers, hated the Japanese with gritted teeth.

If you look at the ongoing Russo-Japanese War, you will know that if there is a chance, Mao Xiong will definitely not let the Japanese go.Especially the reigning one, who is extremely hostile to Japan.

It was hard enough to offend the second and third children in the Continental Alliance, but the Japanese navy participated in the previous Malacca naval battle.

Although the naval battle was lost and did not cause too many casualties to the Shinra Navy, it was still unavoidable to be looked at differently by the Vienna government.

At the same time, it offended the boss, the second, and the third of the Continental Alliance. Now the Japanese government wants to jump ship, and they can't even find a person to make peace.

The so-called deterring the Continental Alliance with the spirit of sacrifice is a joke.A bloody battle to the end is terrifying, but there are many countries in the Continental Alliance that cannot stand up.

It's not a single attack, and all countries share the losses together. No matter how heavy the casualties need to be paid, it is not so unacceptable to share the losses among all countries.

In this context, if you play with 4000 million pieces of jade, maybe the "jade" will really break in the end.

The international scene was full of excitement, and the European media also began to add fuel to the flames.All major media have their own sources of information, and after adding a certain amount of artistic processing, they published it grandiosely.

In line with the principle of not leaving names for good deeds, when the air force of the Continental Alliance bombed the British Isles, they also threw the printed newspapers down.

It is clear that the British-dominated Oceanic Alliance is only crumbling and has not collapsed, but the Oceanic Alliance has disintegrated in the newspapers, and now only Britain and its buddies are left to resist.

In theory, such exaggerated political news is prohibited in the Holy Roman Empire.

But right now is obviously an exception. For the purpose of disintegrating the resistance morale of the British, the Information Administration directly issued a special approval.

Just take advantage of the long-term credibility of these newspapers to enhance the persuasiveness of the news and hit the resistance morale of the British.

As for the subsequent troubles caused by this, it is only a small problem, and it can be made up for later.It's nothing compared to winning this war as quickly as possible.

The ones who are most stimulated are naturally the Irish.

"Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon", finally waited until the fall of the British Empire.The opportunity for independence has appeared, if you don't jump out to make troubles, it will be unreasonable.

Since October, the Irish region has become less peaceful, and all kinds of restoration troops, guerrillas, and resistance organizations have all emerged.

A police force composed of local people obviously cannot control the situation.In order to restore peace and stability on the island of Ireland as soon as possible, the British troops stationed on the island have begun to be exhausted.

Even in Scotland, which was originally stable, there are people who are just around the corner.

Chapter 159 The Great Inflation

The good news keeps coming, and with it comes a lot of troubles.It is easier to travel with more allies, and there are more disputes with more allies.

Originally, the Continental Alliance had great internal conflicts, but after adding more member states, the situation became even more serious.

If it weren't for the mediation of the Vienna government, maybe the chaos that happened in Europe would also be staged in America.

Foreign Minister Leo: "Your Majesty, there is news from the embassy in the Far East that the Japanese government sent a representative to submit a letter of credence, requesting an armistice negotiation."

I have to admit that the Japanese these days are really resilient.No neutral country dared to jump out to mediate, so they simply came to the door by themselves.

Although in this way, the initiative in the negotiation is lost; but in the current international situation, the Japanese government has no initiative in the first place, and it doesn't matter if it is lost.

What really needs to be paid extra is nothing more than the illusory "face"; and for the weak, the "dignity" is worthless.

Although there are many members of the Continental Alliance, there are not many who are important, and there are none who are willing to speak for the Japanese.

In any case, the Japanese did offend the three big bosses. If they help at this time, who knows if they will cause trouble?

The only option left to the Japanese government was to seek refuge with a new owner before the British were finished.

Throughout the world, apart from the ability of the Holy Roman Empire, there is no second one.

Politics does not talk about feelings. Even if there is a conflict with Shinra, the Japanese government can only bite the bullet and get it together.

This was expected, but it really happened, and Franz still couldn't help laughing.

In order to maintain the image of the monarch, Franz suppressed his smile and pretended to be serious and said: "If you want to stop the war, stop the war, the Japanese will treat it as a child's play.

Tell the Japanese that if they want a truce, they must show sincerity, or they will put down their weapons and surrender unconditionally. "

The word "sincerity" is probably the most difficult word in the world to understand.How to do it is considered to be sincere, and it is estimated that no one can answer.

Still, that's exactly what Franz wanted to see.Only with an ambiguous answer can one not take responsibility and leave enough room for maneuver for oneself.
