Chapter 1142: Qishangquan (1/2)
Just when the British government decided to hold all the bargaining chips stud, the ending of the Battle of the English Channel was also broadcast by the Vienna government.
The morale of the Continental Alliance skyrocketed, and those who were still vacillating at the beginning have also moved closer to the Vienna government.
If it is not for too many countries involved and too many interests involved, it will be difficult to finalize it for a while, and the Continental Alliance has already expanded.
On the contrary, the Ocean Alliance is bleak. How much people expected the Royal Navy before, but now they are disappointed.
The boss is not strong, and the boys are also very embarrassed. If it weren't for the current situation that doesn't allow everyone to back down, I'm afraid everyone will have to vote with their feet.
Fortune Wushuang comes, misfortune never comes singly.
On May 27, 1905, the Continental Allied Forces led by Shenluo joined forces with the Russian army going south in the Khorasan area. On the same day, the Tehran garrison, which was heavily besieged by the Continental Allied forces, lay down their weapons and surrendered. The Persian Empire was officially destroyed.
Originally Persia's defeat was justified. Facing the offensives of European countries and being able to resist for five months, the Persian Empire has already performed superbly.
Despite the support of allies, this is also a remarkable achievement. If the British Isles borders the European continent, whether Britain can sustain it for five months is still unknown.
But at this point in time, it's too much for everyone to think about it. A sad mood of rabbit death and fox, spread in the Ocean Alliance.
The intricate British government is now unable to calm the emotions of its allies, and even their own emotions have no time to adjust.
Open the map and you will know that India is dangerous. Fortunately, the Suez Canal was blocked. Otherwise, the enemy's navy would go east and cover the army from attacking from the sea, and the situation would worsen.
It’s not much better now. India is already trapped in a two-line battle. Maybe it will have a third-line battle in the future.
The only thing that can be relied on is the location. The coalition forces will cross the Persian plateau in the west, and logistics transportation is a big problem.
In fact, the biggest reason the Persian Empire was able to last for five months was also because logistics restricted the use of coalition forces.
There is no way. Except for the main cities, most areas of Persia have no railways, and they can only rely on human and animal transportation.
The only railway was destroyed by the Persians. In order to ensure the logistics of the troops, the Vienna government even mobilized hundreds of transport airships.
With the continuous forward movement of the front, the coalition headquarters also moved to Zahedan. As the victor of the war, Grand Duke Friedrich did not see a smile on his face.
”All the way to India”, the slogan is simple to shout, and if it is really implemented, trouble will come.
Logistics is the biggest flaw. At this moment, the coalition's biggest mission is not to fight, but to repair the railway that was destroyed by the enemy.
It is ironic to say that most of the railways in Persia were built by the British, but these railways have now become the biggest aid for the coalition to attack India.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was defensive against the Persian Empire, and the railway specifications built by the dung sticks in Persia were also varied.
In order to repair these railways, even the train skins are specially customized from China. Looking at the report in his hand, Friedrich had some doubts that he was not the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, but an engineering commander.
There is no way, the war with Persia is over, but the place is still unstable. Railway repair work can only be done by the military itself.
It's no wonder that Alexander the Great failed to make his way to India when he was on the Eastern Expedition. Look at the terrible traffic and you will understand.
Regardless of how bad the traffic and conditions are, pushing the front to India is a strategic victory.
At this point, it is only a matter of time before the Continental Alliance is willing to invest in it.
Everything has two sides. While winning strategically, the Continental Alliance is also turbulent.
There is no doubt that rich India is the best ”cake”. The Vienna government made an early promise not to get involved in India and let everyone divide it up.
The Continental Alliance is mostly small countries, and apart from Shenluo and Russia, no one can monopolize India. The Vienna government announced its withdrawal early, and the only competitors left were Britain and Russia.
It is not difficult to expel the British. In the face of the siege of the entire European continent, the possibility of Britain holding India is very slim. The trouble lies in the expulsion of the British.
Without a common enemy, allies become competitors. Interests are moving. Although the Russian Empire is still strong, this will not shake everyone's determination to peek at India.
One-to-one, no one is an opponent of the Russians; once the group is held, the situation is very different.
Anyway, there is still Shen Luo pressing on it. In name, everyone is allies. Even if there is a contradiction, the Russians can't directly fight.
There is no need to go to war directly with the Russians, just to compete secretly, who counsels who is the grandson.
A war without gunsmoke kicked off within the Continental Alliance. Pulling hind legs, playing black hands, all kinds of stigmatizing methods are rushing to stage.
Soon the lawsuit hit Franz's desk, and then naturally continued to tear. In the face of interests, does it mean that mediation can be mediated?
What's more, it was originally planned by the Vienna government to provoke conflicts between European countries and the Russians, and India was even thrown out for this.
If it is not for the consideration that the war of hegemony is not over, it is not suitable to stir up disputes now, otherwise Franz will have to personally end up to help the flames.
The Vienna government didn't care about the matter, and the two sides were happily pinching, but at this time the British's dark hand was activated again.
Strikes, strikes again, from Lisbon to St. Petersburg, strikes broke out across Europe.
Different from the previous support of the Revolutionary Party’s convergence, this time the British completely let go of their hands and feet, playing with whatever harm they do, without considering the subsequent impact.
