Chapter 1118: Gods face (1/2)
With the formation of the two camps, the international situation has become increasingly clear. One is the anti-British alliance with the Holy Roman Empire as the core—the Continental Alliance; the other is the anti-Shenra alliance—the Pan-Ocean Front—formed by Britain.
In the Suez Canal attack, the last layer of window paper was torn, and the contradiction between the two camps was put on the table.
With the escalation of armed conflicts in various places, apart from the lack of a single document to declare war, a substantial war has formed between Shenluo and Britain.
The main member states of the Continental Alliance are mostly concentrated in Europe. There is a ready-made organizational framework for the Continental Alliance. Now only a little change has taken place in its functions. The British-led Pan-Ocean Front is in trouble.
When countries first joined the Pan-Ocean Front, the situation was not what it is now. The British only told everyone to form a group to encircle Shinra, but did not say that the enemy was the entire European continent.
The scope of the enemy has expanded, and disputes have also occurred within the Pan-Ocean Front. Although everyone has full confidence in the Royal Navy, everyone has no idea about this war.
”Distant relatives are not as good as neighbors”, this sentence does not apply between countries. Because of history, most countries have conflicts of interest and even long-term hostility with neighboring countries.
The enemy's enemy is not necessarily a friend, but can become an ally most of the time. For example, if Chile joins the Pan-Ocean Front, Peru and Bolivia, the two hostile countries, naturally lean towards the Continental Alliance.
Now he didn't jump out to stand in line, but because of the superior position of the Royal Navy, everyone did not dare to act rashly, or they might have hooked up in secret.
In this context, everyone should not only participate in the war against Shinra, but also be careful about neighbors stabbing them.
It's not that the British government has not thought of a solution, but when it comes to interests, there is no discussion at all.
Take Chile, Bolivia, and Peru as examples. It is very simple to want Bolivia and Peru to give up their hatred, as long as Chile is willing to give up the gains from the South Pacific War.
After eating the meat in the stomach and letting it out, it is naturally impossible for Chileans to agree, and then there is no more talk.
No matter how great the face of Britain is, it cannot be more profitable. Even if the British government is willing to share the colony of Shinra, it has no effect.
Painting cakes cannot satisfy hunger. Although the colony of the Holy Roman Empire is vast, there are not many that can be captured.
If there are too many people participating in the distribution of spoils, no one will have enough to eat. Everyone participates in the Pan-Ocean Front to eat meat, but not to be hungry.
In order to coordinate the relationship between allies and integrate the power of the alliance, the British government was very busy, but the final receipt was very touching.
All countries have their own small abacus. When the interests of the alliance conflict with their own national interests, the national interests must be given priority.
The Vienna government cannot let the European countries do their best, and the London government cannot let the Pan-Ocean Front countries blast their livers.
The allies have not been settled yet, but domestic doubts are endless. The talkative parties came to an end one after another and criticized the government's foreign policy, as if this situation had occurred, and it was all the result of the government's ineffectiveness.
Throwing away the hostile newspaper, Campbell rubbed his forehead and asked, ”Has the Navy not found a chance?”
If you cannot break the situation politically, you can only seek a breakthrough from the military. War will always be one of the sharp tools to shift internal conflicts.
I saw Secretary of the Navy Swinding waved his hand and said: ”Whether it is the enemy's South Seas fleet or the American fleet, they are usually scattered in various ports, and there will be no assembly if there is no major event.
Unless it is a separate attack, otherwise it is difficult for us to hit the enemy's main force at once. But after the division of forces, the advantages of the Royal Navy ceased to exist.
Even if the enemy assembles occasionally, it is still active in coastal areas. Considering that the enemy can withdraw to the port at any time and the air force provides fire support, we did not take any action. ”
The power of the Royal Navy lies in the overall cooperation. If it is only a one-on-one battle, in fact, their advantage is not big.
This is exactly the opposite of the army. The lobster soldiers have good combat effectiveness in small-scale battles, but once the scale of the battlefield expands, it will soon wither.
Asquis, Chancellor of the Exchequer: ”Since there is no sneak attack, then simply seek opportunities to fight the enemy.
We also have the cooperation of allies, and we can completely kill the enemy's two ocean-going fleets in a short time to ensure the smooth flow of maritime trade.
The pace of war is constantly approaching, and the time left for us is running out. The saint of Vienna Palace is now performing his final performance.
If nothing happens, their investigation results will come out soon, and then they will declare war on us righteously. ”
It can be seen that Asquith is very cold towards Franz. It's right to think about it. Everyone has no image. You only have it. It is a problem not to be hated by others.
Foreign Secretary Adam said indifferently: ”The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has begun to coordinate the issue of joint operations, but it will take some time.
There are two troubles now, one is the issue of command power, and the other is the distribution of benefits after the war.
