The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

Hearing what the president said, the defense minister had no choice but to nod yes and dare not say more.

He can see that after this big victory, the status of the Deyi Zhi Empire in the hearts of the president, vice president, and secretary of state has been greatly improved.

At this time, if you say that the Second Empire is not in front of them, or even slander the Second Empire, you will inevitably be disliked by them.

"After this war, Gaul is afraid that it will completely lose its strength to compete with the Second Empire!"

President Cleveland sighed in his heart.

Speaking of which, Eagle Sauce has always had a good relationship with Gaul.

They were able to become independent from the hands of the people on which the sun never sets, thanks to the support of the Gauls who smashed pots and sold iron.

There is a later saying that the real father of Eagle Sauce was not Washington, but Louis XVI, the emperor of Gaul.

Because of the blood sales aid of the Gauls at the beginning, for a long time afterward, Eagle Sauce and Gaul were quasi-allies or even allies.

During the Napoleonic Wars, Eagle Sauce, who had just become independent, chose to cooperate with Napoleon, and still stood on the side of Gaul at the most critical moment in 1812, holding back the forces that would not fall in North America for them.

As a result, the Eagle Sauce people suffered a big loss that year, and were defeated by the British army of the Maple Leaf Country, and retreated all the way to the mainland, and even the White House was burned by the other party, which can be said to have lost all the bottoms.

Although relations between the two countries have declined somewhat, they still maintain good diplomatic relations with each other.

The common enemy of both of them is that the sun never sets, so they have common interests with each other.

It was only in recent years that the relationship between Gaul and the sun never set eased, especially after the Franco-Prussian War, Gaul began to fall to the sun, which made the relationship between the two countries begin to decline.

If it weren't for that, it would have been Gaul who had allied with Eagle Sauce this time, not the Second Empire.

The reason for the alliance with the Second Empire is entirely because the Second Empire has taken the place of Gaul and can help Eagle Sauce contain the energy of the sun in Europe.

When he thought of the estrangement between Eagle Sauce and Gaul over the past few decades, President Cleveland sighed in his heart.

"Yes, two defeats in just twenty years, the damage to their development and economy is very huge.

Moreover, after this battle, the possibility of the Gauls trying to recover Alsace and Lorraine, the two territories that produced coal and iron ore, was completely shattered, and the path of their industrial development was almost locked.!"

"On the other hand, the Second Empire, who have gained great benefits from this war, is bound to get an excellent opportunity to rise and even take off, as long as they can seize this opportunity to surpass the other European powers and become the second in Europe under the sun, it is just around the corner!"

"I think it's not impossible for them to surpass the Empire on which the sun never sets!"

"Well, the potential of the Second Empire is indeed great, but this is also good news for us, because they can help us keep the sun from setting more energy!"

"In this way, we can rest assured that we will be able to boldly develop our navy!"

The commander of the navy said excitedly that they have been preparing for this day since Eagle Sauce formulated the development plan for the big navy three years ago.

Now that the time is ripe, it is necessary to seize this opportunity and launch their naval strategy.

Otherwise, the further back they go, the worse the situation will be for them!

May 12, 1788, shortly after the end of the war between the Second Empire and Gaul.

Thousands of miles away, on Eagle Sauce's side, their bicameral parliament approved the application submitted by the Navy for a shipbuilding plan.

In the history of later generations, many historians called this incident, which was not noticeable at the time, the beginning of the shipbuilding frenzy of the navies of various countries!

......

Southern Europe, Apennine Peninsula.

Shortly after the completion of reunification, there was a considerable gap between the overall national strength and the mainstream European powers, but in terms of ambitions for foreign expansion, it was not small at all.

"The Gauls have been defeated by the Hanns, and that's good news for us!"

"That's right, the Gauls are powerful in West Africa, and under normal circumstances, if we want to expand in North Africa, it will definitely violate their interests, and they will do everything to stop us!"

"But now, they have just been defeated by the Second Empire, and they have lost hundreds of thousands of troops in the war, and they have no time to take care of African affairs, in this case, it is almost the best time for us to expand!"

Because of the late time of unification, Italy had few overseas colonies compared to the rest of Europe. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

By the time they completed reunification, the territory they could occupy in the world had basically been carved up.

So, like the Second Empire, Idulli was unhappy with the current status quo.

They wanted more colonies, but the sun never set and Gaul, which currently occupied large swaths of territory, would not easily cede their interests.

This has led to huge contradictions and conflicts between these emerging countries in the face of these old colonial empires.

It is for this reason that in the original history, the Itali agreed to join the Second Empire-dominated Central Powers. []

But then they realized that the Allies could not defeat the Entente, so they switched to the side of the Entente.

Iduli thought that they had chosen the right ship, and they should be able to drink soup with the Entente.

But after the war, it was found that the Entente did not treat them as a green onion at all, and the Allies were all emerging countries, and they did not have many colonies at all.

In this case, the Allies helped the Entente fight a world war, and in the end almost nothing benefited.

Even, when the fruits of victory were divided after the war, Yiduli was not even qualified to participate in the negotiations at the negotiating table, and was directly ignored by the two empires of Sunset and Gaul.

This created a great discontent in their hearts, which eventually led to the emergence of fascism, which led to the Italian side of the Third Reich in World War II.

However, in this plane, because of the butterfly effect brought about by Andrews, the traverser, there seems to be an excellent opportunity in front of the Italian people.

So, on June 22, 1788, the Italians sent 50,000 troops across the Mediterranean Sea and marched into North Africa.

And the place where they attacked was the territory of the Ottomans.

The Ottomans, who were suddenly attacked, suddenly looked confused, they had come to see the play and watched it well, why was it me who was injured?

After the Ottomans reacted, they asked for help from Gaul and Sunset, and at the same time tried their best to gather their own domestic troops, preparing to pull them to North Africa to fight the Italians!

If I can't beat the woolly bear, can't I beat you?

Do you really think anyone can bully us?

As soon as the Ottomans sent troops, the Tsar, who was hesitating and didn't know where to start, immediately lit up and found an excellent target - Constantinople!

Take the castle, recreate the glory of the Roman Empire, and prove who is the real Third Roman Empire!

This is the long-cherished wish of the hairy bear people!

And this time, they finally have a chance to make it happen!

So, Mao Xiong didn't even think about it, and directly sent troops south!

For a time, the war in Europe not only did not subside, but spread more and more, causing the whole of Europe to become a mess!
