Chapter 1117： Overall view (1/2)

Along with a telegram, news of the attack on the Suez Canal quickly spread throughout the world. The already tense situation in Europe has become more and more out of control at this moment.

On that evening, the Vienna government held a press conference to announce that the people behind the oath and planning of the attack will never die.

Although it is not stated clearly, everyone knows that apart from the British, there is no second master who can afford to be ”behind the scenes.”

The investigation team has just set off. The Vienna government has not yet reached a conclusion on the attack on the canal, and the people of the two countries have already begun to fight.

The armed conflict is no longer confined to South Africa. Wars of varying scales have broken out in East Africa and the Malay Peninsula. The total strength of the two parties has already exceeded the 100,000 mark.

The exchange of fire on such a scale has not yet declared war. The actions of the two governments have once again refreshed the perception of the European world.

According to a politician who is unwilling to reveal his name: No loss is a hegemonic country, and this ”conservation” (skin) is not something ordinary countries can have.

...

Vienna Palace, at this moment Franz is catching Frederick, this stinky chess basket, and the disturbances from the outside world have not spread here, as if he has been beyond the world.

It is impossible to be detached. At this critical moment, there is no room for relaxation. But it was not affected by the Suez Canal tragedy, but it was true.

The reason is very simple. Whether the Suez Canal is blocked or not has little impact on this war.

To borrow a word from the media: ”The Mediterranean is our inner sea, and the great Holy Roman Empire will illuminate the world. This is our time.”

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is basically in line with reality. The current Mediterranean Sea can indeed be regarded as the inner sea of ​​Shinra.

With both the Circum-Europe-African-Middle East Railway and the bath ocean shipping, the core territory of Shinra is still firmly controlled by the Vienna government, which is sufficient to ensure the normal supply of raw materials.

Basically, Franz didn't panic. Do not say that the Suez Canal was blocked for several months, even if it has been blocked, the Holy Roman Empire can withstand it.

As for the strategic impact, you can’t go east, so don’t rush east for the time being. After all the warships in the dock are in service, it is not too late to look for the bad luck of the British.

In contrast, the harm caused by crude oil leakage is more serious. Thousands of tons of crude oil spewed out, not only polluting the river, it is estimated that the entire Red Sea will follow.

If it weren't for Franz's quick response, he would order cleanup and intercept as soon as he received the news, or the Mediterranean would be affected.

Frederick: ”Father, since the British planned this attack, they will definitely pick themselves out. The investigation team is afraid it will be difficult for them to gain anything.”

Neither Britain nor the Holy Roman Empire is alone, and war is a gang fight.

If you want to start a war, you must not only look at the problem from your own perspective, but you must also be concerned about the reactions of the people in your allies.

Old-fashioned routines like missing soldiers can be distinguished from the real at a glance, and people won't buy it.

Of course, it is possible to force allies to be pulled aboard, but this is not allies but a group of resentful pig teammates.

Originally, the pig teammates from all over Europe were gathered this time. If the relations between the masses were not improved, the Vienna government would not be able to lead them.

Apart from other things, just borrowing other people's airports and ports requires the cooperation of local people.

Otherwise, the Snake can do something casually, or delay the speed of material transportation, it can make the battle plan fail.

In fact, this war has not kicked off for a long time. One of the important reasons is the lack of a reasonable excuse for war.

The Suez Canal attack is undoubtedly a good entry point. Although this economic life is in the hands of the Vienna government, it is most European countries that benefit from it.

As long as it proves that the attack was planned by the British, and launching a war in retaliation, it is logical.

”Don't worry, there will be gains. Even if it is really not related to the British, we can get them involved.

The current investigation is just a cutscene. Inviting all countries to send representatives to participate is nothing more than asking them to endorse together.

Of course, the fake is fake after all, no matter how perfect the arrangement is, there will always be clues.

If possible, it is better to find out the real evidence. Otherwise, it would be a big trouble to wear the help in the future.

In the future, similar incidents will be directly handed over to the cabinet government to operate. As a monarch, we must learn to be confused when appropriate. ”

The pros and cons are the essence of human nature, and as an emperor, there is no exception. Especially this kind of invisible operation, that is how far you can hide.

As long as you don't get involved, even if you really wear a gang in the future, you can still deal with it with a sentence of ”not knowing”.

Although it is a formality, the investigation is still delicate. For example: How long the investigation lasts depends on the anti-British propaganda of various governments.
