Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! With the restoration of William III, the smell of gunpowder in the world is getting stronger and stronger. tensed up.

The Eastern European Union and the Western European Union are facing each other, and everyone is worried that it will evolve into the situation during the First World War again.

However, only high-level officials know that the current international situation is completely different from that of World War I, even though the two countries are strategically incompatible.

But there is still a long way to go before the war. Bulgaria wants to continue farming and has no interest in military adventures. British anti-pacifism is on the rise.

After the establishment of the two major alliances, the arms race eased. After all, after the expiration of the London Arms Treaty, Britain and Bulgaria each launched more than a dozen capital ships, and a large number of warships were still under construction on the berth.

The total tonnage of the Bulgarian Navy has increased to 770,000 tons. When the shipbuilding plan is fully completed, the total tonnage will exceed 1.5 million tons.

Since the explosion of the navy in 1934, it has doubled in just three years. After this round of arms race, there are only two players left in the British Paul.

Other countries have fallen behind. In fact, the British are somewhat unable to hold on. By 1940, the total tonnage of the Bulgarian active navy will reach 1.5 million tons, and the Royal Navy can only reach 2 million tons.

The gap between the two sides is constantly narrowing, and the two-strong standard can no longer continue, unless John Bull learns from the Japanese and directly refits warships to reduce the cost of military expansion.

In fact, they are already doing it, but John Bull is not Japanese after all, they just refit a few younger warships, and they look down on junk.

If nothing else, by 1940 the Japanese navy will exceed one million tons, and the world's third largest naval power deserves its name.

The ambitions of the Japanese can no longer be restrained. The two major alliances in Europe confront each other, and the shackles that restrained them no longer exist. The history of East Asia seems to have returned to the original point again.

... (omitted for safety's sake)

In continental Europe, except for the French who are surrounded by the Western European Alliance, the Kingdom of Poland, which is sandwiched between the two major alliances, is the real embarrassment.

They wanted to join the Eastern European Union, but Austria-Hungary and Western Russia disagreed, and Bulgaria also did not like them. Who asked them to swear sovereignty over Ukraine?

Isn't this a joke? Do you think that politics is just playing tricks, and you can shout any kind of slogan in order to gain the support of the people?

The Eastern European Union does not want them, and the Western European Union also does not welcome them. The Germans strongly oppose their joining on the grounds that it is easy to intensify the conflict between the two alliances.

John Bull also didn't support them this time. He was obviously intimidated by their ability to pull hatred. It's not easy to turn all the neighbors around into enemies in such a short period of time. do it.

Sandwich biscuits are often the saddest, especially sandwich biscuits that have no strength. People of insight in the Kingdom of Poland have already realized the danger.

It's a pity that it's not their turn to speak, and even the king has lost his temper after being tormented by radical groups. It is said that the king of Orleans is about to resign.

Later, it was the French government who intervened and wanted the Kingdom of Poland to contain the Germans, so that His Majesty the King reluctantly stayed in office.

However, he is no longer involved in the affairs of the New Poland Kingdom, and he may not even appear in public once a year.

First, they wanted to restore the king election system, and then they wanted to evade the king. The statements made by the government were exaggerated one by one, scaring the king who was born in the Orleans family without confidence.

Looking at the changing international situation, Ferdinand sighed.

If you don't die, you won't die. At this time, the French still have the ability to avoid large-scale wars. Before Germany completes the integration, give them a quick shot, and everything will be settled.

The big deal is to exempt the major states from war reparations, take advantage of Germany's internal conflicts, win them over to neutrality, and get the German central government to beat them hard.

Only the central government with only four layers of power in Germany,

How could it be the opponent of the French?

Even with the addition of Italy and the United Kingdom, on land, the French Army can still push past.

When Germany's internal integration is completed, the offensive and defensive positions will change, and then it will be another evenly matched battle.

In this regard, the French must thank Ferdinand. If it were not for the rise of Bulgaria, the Germans would not be so weakened.

The loss of land and the reduction of population are nothing. The key is that the R\u0026D and production of high-tech industries were all taken away by Ferdinand.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the World War, many high-level talents in Germany were taken away, and it was very insidious to let Britain and France transfer light industry to Germany.

Now Germany's industry has been taken sideways, and it will not be possible to pull it back. The field of heavy industry has stagnated for twenty years, and there are not even qualified workers in the field of machinery manufacturing.

Although the group of industrial workers in Germany were still alive twenty years ago, so many years have passed, and the technology in their hands has long been useless.

Without the more than 20 million Germans in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the total population of Germany would not have reached the level of the Third Reich in history, with a population of just over 50 million, including ethnic minorities.

This time the French are unlikely to be as cowardly as they have been in history. This is determined by their strength. Why should they surrender if they win?

In terms of overall national strength, the French still have a clear advantage, surrendering to a country that is weaker than themselves, something Marshal Pétain can't do.

The Germans want to regain their strength, not to mention them, they don't even have windows!

The world has been divided up, even now that the British benefactor has given them a blood transfusion, they can't find a direction for development.

The market for industrial products is gone, and the British colonial market is not enough for me. How can the Germans be allowed to enter?

In the European market, their products cannot compete with similar products, and the technological gap of 20 years cannot be made up in a short time.

...

On October 7, 1937, at the enlarged meeting of the League of Nations, the government of the Republic of China accused the Japanese of aggression, which was recognized by representatives of various countries.

Under the tacit understanding of the British and Bulgarian countries, the League of Nations made a resolution to sanction the Japanese government. Of course, this is limited to economic sanctions and material embargoes.

In the current international situation, it is obviously inappropriate to intervene by force, unless the Japanese government is so powerful that it is invincible in the world as they boast.

Obviously, they don't have this strength yet. Without being able to make Britain and Bulgaria fearful and need to join forces to fight against the enemy, it is naturally impossible for the two sides to really join forces.

As for the ability to implement this resolution, that depends on the integrity of the capitalists. The League of Nations has no anti-smuggling ships, and it is helpless in the face of smuggling.

Conscientious capitalists like Ferdinand strictly implemented the material embargo regulations of the League of Nations in accordance with the regulations, and other capitalists did not know about it.

Everyone knows that the two major alliances are opposed, and the League of Nations has existed in name only.

"Your Majesty, the nuclear weapon research team has achieved phased results. It is estimated that by the end of 1938, we will be able to test the first nuclear bomb.

However, limited by production capacity, it will take at least five years to mass-produce this weapon! "Carl said cautiously.

Ferdinand nodded. Nuclear weapon manufacturing technology was completely based on the fact that he was willing to spend money. It would be different if he wanted to mass-produce it.

At least the current high manufacturing costs must be reduced first. Otherwise, this expensive weapon can only be left as a trump card.

Judging from the current situation, it will take a long time to achieve industrial mass production, but this is enough.

Even if it is a laboratory product, with Bulgaria's industrial capacity, there is no pressure to produce a few pieces every year.

Hoarding for a few years first can ensure that Bulgaria can land smoothly in the world war. This is not the main weapon of war.

"Let's conduct the experiment in secret. For safety's sake, let's go deep in the desert. It's best to identify a place of no value, so as not to cause trouble in the future!" Ferdinand confessed

He couldn't help but be careless. There are many deserts in Bulgaria, and there is also a lot of oil buried in the Bulgarian desert.

If the wrong site is selected and nuclear tests are carried out on these oil fields, the economic loss will be great.

1938 was destined to be an eventful year. The Spanish Civil War reached its climax. The Republicans were destined to be unable to support the wall with mud. Even with the support of the British, they were still at a disadvantage.

This disadvantage is not only military, but also political. If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. The two sides have a bad game.

Politically, the republican faction, a nascent regime, quickly degenerated before it had time to develop and grow; militaryly, the military discipline of the troops was lax, making the people miserable.

In contrast, the performance of the Spanish right-wing group will be slightly better. In terms of local governance, stability has basically been maintained. Although it is a dictatorial government, they are not so corrupt.

If nothing else, in this round of games in Spain, the French are going to win this time, and it is hard to say whether the Franco-Spanish alliance can be established.

"Father, as you expected, the Japanese really attacked Soviet Russia. In the early hours of Far Eastern time last night, the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Korean Army launched a surprise attack on the Soviets.

Judging from the current situation, Soviet Russia is now at a disadvantage. In future wars, Soviet Russia will not be able to cause us trouble. ’ Little Ferdinand said with a smile.

This is all the fault of the Soviet Russian government. In order to obtain foreign exchange, Soviet Russia had to export mineral resources to Japan.

In 1937 alone, the total amount of ore exported by Soviet Russia to Japan exceeded 10 million tons, which aroused the Japanese's interest in them.

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty!

A Soviet Russia that was industrializing became a fat sheep in the eyes of the Japanese, and the war broke out.

"I guess it won't be long before the Japanese government will regret it, attacking two vast countries at the same time, they will suffer.

Soviet Russia is indeed not their opponent now, and it may not be so when winter comes.

Now there are only a few countries in the world that have the ability to fight in winter in Russia, and this does not include Japan! ’ said Ferdinand with a sneer.

If it was Ferdinand, he would definitely not go to war against the two neighbors at the same time. Don't look at them as weak, but can't they stand up to their vast territory?

A country with a large population and a country with the natural protection of winter cannot be settled in a short period of time. For an island country, protracted war means disaster!

In terms of difficulty, the strategy of the Japanese government is completely a copy of hell, and two copies of hell were opened at the same time.

According to normal people's thinking, the best opportunity for Japan to invade Soviet Russia was just after the end of the Russian Civil War.

That was the time when Soviet Russia was at its weakest. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Western Russia and Eastern Russia to block Soviet Russia, the outbreak of war could cut off the channels for Soviet Russia to obtain weapons and ammunition from the outside world. Soldiers fight.

Then if they grind slowly, they can still win the war, nothing more than joining forces with Eastern Russia and Western Russia to carve up Soviet Russia.

It is a pity that the Japanese government was coerced by lower-level military officers at that time, thinking that Soviet Russia was a barren land with little value, and chose to attack another neighbor.

With the continuous expansion of the trade volume between the two countries, Japan discovered that the Far East is not wild, and there are rich mineral resources, so what else?

Of course it's one word - do it!

"Father, I don't think the Japanese government's decision this time is wrong!" Little Ferdinand expressed his disagreement

"Tell me?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously.

"Now the two major alliances in Europe are facing each other, but they haven't fought yet after all.

When two lions fight, it is not necessarily the wild dogs who stand by. It is very likely that the wild dogs have become snacks in the belly of the lion before the war broke out.

It is estimated that the Japanese government has also noticed this problem. If they are not deeply involved in the quagmire of war, how can we and the British fight with confidence?

If we choose to clear the venue early, they will bear the brunt of it. Even if they are thousands of miles away, they will still not be our opponents.

If they are strong enough, maybe after our two major alliances kill them, everyone will be tired and the war that may break out will disappear completely. For the Japanese, isn't that a tragedy? "Little Ferdinand analyzed

Ferdinand smiled slightly. That's right, he also saw it through the analysis of little Ferdinand. As the saying goes, it is a test of his son's international observation skills. Looking at it now, the result is still very satisfactory to him.

Perhaps in the eyes of future generations, how unreliable and ridiculous the Japanese government's strategy is, this is indeed their most correct choice now.

Since the lessons of the First World War, European countries have been very restrained in dealing with war. In addition to the upsurge of the anti-war movement among the people, there is more concern about being taken advantage of by others.

Even the battle plan of the Bulgarian General Staff has a plan to clear the field in advance, which includes abolishing the Japanese first, let alone the British.

As long as John Bull doesn't want to lose Southeast Asia, India, Australia and New Zealand after the first battle, it is very necessary to unplug the hidden danger of Japan in advance.
