Chapter 1159: The Emperors New Clothes (1/2)

It is easy to deal with a defeated country. Anyway, in this age when the fist is the truth, you just need to fight another battle if you refuse to accept it.

Without the leading brother of Britain, even if Japan and the United States want to make trouble, they can't do anything about it.

What really needs the Vienna government to bother is the former good ally-the Russian Empire.

Now, then. With the victory of the world war, the dragon slayer has replaced the role of the evil dragon.

The identity has changed, and the position has naturally changed. The former allies have now become competitors.

Whether to use black hands and take the opportunity to kill the Russian Empire is a question worth studying.

The Russian Civil War has reached a climax. With the support of European countries at all costs, the rebel forces have become more vigorous than a day, sweeping over half of the Russian Empire.

This time I really cannot blame the Czarist government. Although their incompetence has created conditions for the rebels to grow bigger, the core reason is that the enemy does not speak military ethics.

The Russian Revolutionary Party has not yet become a climate. Although it launched rebellions in large cities such as St. Petersburg and Moscow, it was quickly extinguished by the Tsarist government because of the lack of a mass foundation.

Now it is the independent organizations in various regions that are acting as the important task of anti-Russian. The mass base is there, but because of strong nationalism and regional color, the influence of independent organizations is mostly concentrated in a certain area.

The most representative are the Polish Independence Organization, the Bulgarian Independence Organization, the Finnish Independence Organization, and the Afghan guerrillas.

These organizations all have a common feature, their influence is limited to one place, and they cannot set off a wave of anti-Russia nationwide.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Russian War, these independent organizations that were not affiliated with each other have fallen into their own battles. Under normal circumstances, it is only a matter of time before being extinguished.

It's a pity that external forces are intervening. At the beginning, everyone knew the rules, just secretly providing funds, weapons and equipment.

With the development of the battlefield situation, everyone's investment is getting bigger and bigger. In order to ensure the final victory, it is inevitable that the morality has been reduced a little bit.

First, volunteers were sent to participate in the Russian Civil War, but the pig teammates were really not easy to lead, and they had to be ”mercenaries”.

What are the Swiss Guards, the Prussian Eagle, the Hessian mercenaries, the French roosters, the angels, the Swedish Trojans... All the mercenary organizations that have a reputation in the world have appeared on the battlefield.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of mercenaries active on the Russian battlefield has exceeded 100,000.

Don't ask why there are so many mercenaries participating in the war. The question is: international justice people do not understand the brutal rule of the Russians and want to rescue the various nations enslaved by the tsarist government.

What looks like a Russian civil war has actually evolved into a war between the tsarist government and European countries. With one enemy, the tsarist government will naturally be tragic.

With the endless strikes, the rebels sweeping the world, and the bourgeoisie and new aristocrats who are eager to seize power, the tsarist government has fallen into a difficult situation.

The northern part of Finland has been completely occupied, and the rebels are rushing to repair fortifications in the Karelia Isthmus and Lake Ladoga;

The Polish rebels and Lithuanian rebels in the west have joined forces. The flag of the tsarist government is no longer on the Pod Plain, and the war has raged into Belarus;

The central and southern Caucasus region is full of smoke and Ukrainian guerrillas are everywhere. The Russian Balkans is now the world of the Bulgarian Independence Army, and there is only one Constantinople that belongs to the tsarist government;

The Central Asian steppes have once again become a tribal world, and the Russians are no longer visible in Afghanistan;

The Siberian rebels and the Russian army were fighting in darkness, and for a while, they couldn't tell the victory or defeat;

Most of the Far East is in the hands of the Japanese. Although the treaty has been signed, when it will be implemented is still unknown.

Judging from the current situation, as long as the Vienna government adds another fire, the tsarist government is likely to be really cool.

Suppressing the Russian Empire is one thing, killing the tsarist government is another. These are two completely different concepts.

What Franz wanted to do was to preserve the tsarist government as much as possible under the premise of weakening the Russian Empire.

The specific plan is to make Finland, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine, the Baltic region, the Caucasus region, and Central Asia all independent, and it is better to separate Siberia and the Far East.

The plan belongs to the plan, and the reality belongs to the reality. Even if the Vienna government personally ended, Nicholas II would not be able to accept such a condition of losing power and humiliating the country.

It is estimated that if we cross the tsarist government and go up to a bourgeois government, the probability of compromise is even higher.

If you can't agree, you can only find ways to create established facts. Then use time to force the Russians to slowly accept reality.

Looking at the Russian map full of flags on the sand table, Franz asked with concern: ”Based on the current situation, is it possible for the rebels to conquer St. Petersburg?”

Established facts are not so easy to cause. Except for a few areas where the rebels are active, most of them are in Pingchuan.

Now it seems that the rebels are powerful, and once the czarist government is relieved, the situation will soon reverse.

For example, when the main force of the Russian army in India returned to China, the alliance lifted the blockade of Russia. The strength of the two sides will be compared in an instant.

Even with the support of European countries, it is difficult for the rebels to pass the tsarist government. Except for a few areas that can rely on natural dangers to support one or two, most areas cannot escape the clutches of the Russians.

In any case, the Russians are nominally allies, and it is impossible for the Vienna government to hold on to the Russian forces on the front lines of India, let alone impose a long-term material blockade on Russia.
