Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The confrontation between the two major currency alliances in the world has also shown the weakness of the British. Although they still have huge influence in the American continent, they have already lost in the old continent.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the center of the world was still in Europe, and the decline in European influence had extremely serious consequences.

In order to reverse this unfavorable situation, the Macdonald government threw an olive branch to the four countries of Germany, France, Italy and Spain that had not yet stood in line.

The British tried to resolve the contradictions between Germany and France and Italy and France through external means, and formed a Western European alliance to confront Bulgaria.

Obviously, this step is difficult to achieve, but Britain insisted on doing it.

It's not that the MacDonald government is stupid, but that they have no other choice!

Only when Western European countries can resolve conflicts can everyone unite, and only by uniting the forces of Germany, Italy, France and Spain at the same time can they have the strength to compete with Bulgaria.

As for potential allies farther away, Soviet Russia was exhausted by the Japanese. At this time, Soviet Russia is not the huge Soviet Union. Although their land area is huge, they can't stand up to the small number of people!

Even if it is pulled over, it is useless. Maybe it will pass on revolutionary ideas. The hidden danger is too great.

Japan in the Far East is not within their consideration at all, and there is no value for existence without an alliance of common interests.

The interests that the Japanese want are basically in the hands of the British. Even if they want to compromise, they can't hold back the Japanese's appetite.

From Australia to Southeast Asia, from the Indochina Peninsula to India, they are all targets of prying eyes. If they can be compromised, John Bull can simply compromise with Bulgaria, and the price paid is still relatively small.

In contrast, it is more likely that Japan will fall to Bulgaria. After all, the interests of the Bulgarian Empire in the East are only a little bit, and if you give up, you will give up.

The reason why the two sides did not unite is also very funny to say, Bulgaria does not need the Japanese, they already have enough advantages, there is no need to add another existence to divide up the spoils.

Anyway, even if the Japanese are crazy, it is impossible to run over to PK with Bulgaria, unless they have flattened India, the geographical advantage is so stupid!

In order to win over the four countries, the British also made capital, such as:

John Bull said to the Italians: Xiaodai, as long as you follow me well, the debt can be reduced.

Sardinia will pay you back immediately, and if you win in the future, you will be rewarded for your merits, and the benefits will be indispensable.

John Bull said to the Germans: "Hans, hang out with me. Debts are all negotiable. As long as you join the alliance, the Kingdom of Poland is yours. Wherever you fight in other places, it counts!"

John Bull said to the French: Don't get too pissed off, the European continent is about to be unified by Bulgaria. If you don't let go of your arrogance, you will only be a second-rate country in the future.

Be obedient, let's work together to defeat this enemy. When the time comes, we will share the world, and the future of the world belongs to all of us. (no wonder)

...

John Bull's olive branch was still useful, and Italy leaned over first, but they put forward a condition: Britain must return Sicily to them, and the French must also repay the territory they occupied.

Well, the empty promises don't seem to work very well, the Italians have learned their lesson, and there is no plan to invade the Balkans, which they know is impossible.

To put it bluntly, the British fooled the Italians. It’s okay to want Sicily, but after winning, it depends on whether they have contributed to the alliance. The French are not a problem either. They helped to get the land back.

If you fooled around with the first one, there would naturally be a second one. The conditions put forward by the Germans are similar, as long as the French return their territory, everything is negotiable.

Little Ferdinand did not do it for nothing. At the beginning of the British operation, he did not destroy it. Anyway, as long as Germany and France are together, the alliance will be full of contradictions.

Doesn't the British promise to Italy and Germany expose the conditions, the French people are angry, and this is a ghost alliance?

Joining the alliance, the French Republic will have to pay 15% of the mainland. Do you really think they are fools?

If Bulgaria grows bigger, it has nothing to do with them?

At least Bulgaria is only tossing around in Eastern Europe, and France's interests are not much lost, and this Western European alliance is the existence that kills France!

Macdonald is bitter. Our promises are conditional. They will only exist after the defeat of Bulgaria, but can we fight now?

The British have no hope at all, how strong this Western European Union can be!

The Italians can be ignored directly, their navy can’t beat the pirates now, the air force is still at the level of World War I, and has no combat effectiveness, and the army seems to be useless except for being funny.

According to the British's vision, the main force of land warfare in the Western European Union is Germany and France, and the rest can be ignored. It is estimated that the combined British and Italian armies will not be able to defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Macdonald was not so confident, thinking that the Germans and the French could cooperate sincerely on the battlefield, and if they didn't fight first, it would be because they took the overall situation into consideration.

He can say with certainty that once the fight starts, the Germans will fight against the Eastern European Union alone. When the fight is almost over, the French will come up to grab the heads, and the eighth floor may still take the heads of the Germans!

This is determined by interests. If you win against the Germans, France can expand its territory. If you win against Bulgaria, they can't even get a hair. Smart people know how to choose!

Paris

"Damn John Bull, you're playing us for fools!" growled President Albert Le Brun

Strategic security? Is this fooling ordinary people? Any politician knows that since the First World War, Bulgaria's strategic focus has not been on the European continent.

Now it is said that Bulgaria unifies the European continent, should we be more nonsense and say that they unify the world island?

Now all the countries bordering Bulgaria on the European continent are all their allies. Obviously, it is impossible for the Bulgarians to attack their allies.

In this regard, Bulgaria is much better than John Bull. There may be stabbing in the dark, but on the surface they have never done anything to cheat their teammates.

This is also the reason why little Ferdinand was so easy to attract allies. As long as the treaty is signed, there is no need to worry about threats from Bulgaria. This is already the consensus of the world.

Now if a war is provoked on the European continent, Bulgaria will have no choice but to expand its territory to Italy. The remaining greatest interests can only be divided between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and West Russia.

This multiple-choice question is easy to do. The cost of occupying Italy is enough to take over Egypt, South Africa and Sudan. By the way, it is enough to take down the rest of Persia and hit India.

Anyone will be able to settle this account. Everyone believes that Bulgaria has ambitions for Egypt and South Africa. Do you think they have ambitions for France?

President Albert Le Brun is more willing to believe that the Germans have ambitions for the mainland of France, the Italians have ambitions for the mainland of France, the British have ambitions for the mainland of France, and the Spaniards have ambitions for the mainland of France, but there is no Bulgaria!

"Your Excellency, the United Kingdom is just fooling the two fools of Germany and Italy. Now Bulgaria has become a big trend. As long as the Eastern European Union does not take the initiative to provoke a war, this war will not be able to be fought on land!

If you can't even fight a battle, how can you talk about victory? Failure to achieve victory is a blank check!

Of course, Germany and Italy can also try to initiate a war. As long as we don't join, let's see how the Eastern European Union will treat them to be human! "French Prime Minister Faraday said with a sneer.

Many politicians understand this issue. It is not in the interests of Bulgaria to fight on land.

Nicholas II is also old and the Russians don't want to fight now either, they haven't recovered from the civil war yet.

The national conflicts in the Austro-Hungarian Empire have almost been dealt with, and this great cause can be completed in the last few decades, and it is even more impossible for them to take the risk of launching a war.

The main force of the Eastern European Alliance has no desire to start a war at this time.

Britain and France, where anti-war thoughts are prevalent in the country, also have no idea of ​​provoking war, and they don't even have plans to expand their armies and prepare for war.

Germany and Italy do have ideas. Because of the economic crisis, their domestic conflicts have intensified, and they urgently need to divert the conflicts. Now they are relying on anti-"oil" to alleviate class conflicts.

To get through the crisis completely, the best way is to plunder wealth from the outside. After all, they have been squeezed for more than ten years, and they are already destitute.

Having an idea does not mean having strength. If you have stayed for more than ten years without external support, the current German and Italian countries combined may not be enough for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to clean up.

The weapons and equipment of World War I have fallen behind, and the military production capacity is less than one-third of that during World War I. Even the German army during World War I was stronger than they are now.

"But the people don't know, they just saw that the British sacrificed our interests in order to win over Germany and Italy!

I bet, as soon as we declare joining the Western European Union formed by the British, there will be a change of people here tomorrow! "President Albert Le Brun said helplessly.

"We can explain to the people that our surrounding countries have joined the Western European Union. If we refuse, we will be isolated politically and become dangerous militarily!" Faraday thought for a while and said

"Do you think it's useful? At the cost of betraying France's interests, join the alliance formed by the British. If the opposition party doesn't take the opportunity to attack us, it's no wonder that we are traitors?

Who would believe your so-called war will not break out, or that the Western European Union cannot win?

In the eyes of the people, the current French Republic is still the world's number one army power, coupled with the former world's number one army power, and the world's number one navy power, this combination has no rivals in the world!

And we are national thieves bought by the British, fighting for the benefit of the British, and traitors to France! "President Albert Le Brun said angrily

In his view, the British are provoking France, and they are determined to join the Western European Union for strategic security.

"But what about our national security? Surrounded by the Western European Union, our strategic options no longer exist!" Daladier said, frowning.

"Damn little Ferdinand, his political methods are far worse than his father's. The establishment of an alliance is actually called the Eastern European Union. Can't we Western European countries become allies?

That's all, now there is no intention of inviting us to join!

Doesn't he know that once they make a move now, without us, the formation of the Western European Union by the British will immediately become a joke? ’ bellowed Albert Le Brun

...

"Father, the French should be very uncomfortable when we do this, right?" Ferdinand asked uncertainly.

"Who knows? What if the French have a fearless international spirit and directly join the Western European Union?" Ferdinand smiled slightly.

The French joined the Western European Union? It is estimated that this alliance is also abolished. Thinking about every discussion, the representatives of Germany and France start to quarrel. That scene is interesting!

We oppose what the enemy supports, and support what the enemy opposes!

This is the political stance of Germany and France that has lasted for decades. Any French who is in the interest of Germany must oppose it, and any French who harms the interests of Germany will support it, and vice versa!

This is the way for the politicians of the two countries to survive. If they do not do it, they will be traitors, and the opposition parties will not let them go.

"Father, this joke is not funny at all. If the French government dares to join this alliance, there will be a revolution in Paris immediately!

In the center of the Western European Union, if a neutral country appears, will the British really let Germany and Italy attack France? "Little Ferdinand was uncertain.

"I don't know, I'm not the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. How do I know what they think?

But Germany and Italy really want to attack France, this is a fact!

During the First World War, the French ate hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land between the two countries. Isn't it time to pay the price?

In addition to contradictions, what should be done about the domestic problems of Germany and Italy now? If they don't start a war, is there a thorough proletarian revolution?

Look around, is there any soft persimmons to start with? Either Germany and Italy will fight on their own, or they will attack France. On the day the Treaty of Versailles is signed, it is already doomed! ’ said Ferdinand calmly.

If this sentence is leaked out, it is estimated that the whole world will be in an uproar. As early as more than ten years ago, Bulgaria supported France to expand its territory, and it had already calculated all this.

Such a strategic plan is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

"Father, what if the French win? The current German and Italian countries are seriously injured. I doubt their strength!" Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously

"Does this have something to do with us? Germany and Italy are members of the Western European Union, but not our Eastern European Union. The British should be troubled by this problem?" Ferdinand said indifferently

According to Bulgaria's plan, once France is defeated, it will immediately attack the Western European Union, and accept the French colonies in Africa as a reward for helping them drive away the enemy.

What if France wins? It doesn't matter, with the support of the Western European Union, they will eventually lose in a 1v4. After this battle, the British will end on their own.

The best way for the British is to prevent this war from starting. Ferdinand doesn't know if this will succeed.

If there is no war, Germany and Italy will collapse on their own. It depends on how the British deal with this problem!
