Bulgarian Empire
Chapter 28 Holy Alliance VS Pan International Front
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! After the outbreak of the Sicily Battle, the British and Bulgarian governments launched a new round of diplomatic games. The struggle between the two big hooligans, Refresh everyone's new outlook again.
The British, who had suffered a lot, criticized Bulgaria for undeclared war, which violated international law; while the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not recognize this as a war, insisting that it was just an accident.
As for what kind of accident could cause thousands of planes to be bombed by mistake, the answer given by the Bulgarian government is: the fog in the morning was too heavy, and the fighter planes conducting military exercises lost their way and strayed into the airspace of Sicily.
If the British army hadn't launched the attack first, the Bulgarian fighter planes would have left by themselves, and the war on this battlefield would never have started!
It also provided a video recording of the first attack by the British army. Of course, this video was only partially filmed, and there were obvious traces of editing.
But it doesn't matter. In this era, photography technology is limited, and the shaking is severe on the plane. It is very natural that the video is not perfect.
The above are the answers given by the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As for the authenticity? Whether the British believe it or not, one-third of the world believes it!
From this aspect, the Bulgarian government is indeed worthy of being a world hegemony, at least it is shameless enough!
Anyway, the fight has already been fought. As early as the day of the incident, both Britain and Bulgaria declared war on each other.
Whoever wins in the end is right!
This is the international axiom in the middle of the 20th century. Similar cases happened more than once, but this time the parties involved were two giants, which attracted more attention.
Beginning on March 12, the Bulgarian Air Force began bombing Sicily and continued until March 18.
In just one week, the Bulgarian Air Force dropped 58,000 tons of bombs on Sicily, and all the airports and ports on the island were reduced to ruins.
On March 19, the Seventh Army of the Bulgarian Army launched a landing operation. Under the command of General Cyclops, the British army retreated to the inner island and persisted in resistance.
At the same time, the Bulgarian Middle East theater launched attacks on Egypt and Persia respectively, and the African theater began to attack South Africa, and the war spread again.
On March 20, the British Mediterranean Fleet, which had lost its logistical supplies, drifted at sea for more than a week. Admiral Thomas finally decided to take a risk.
The Mediterranean Sea is too dangerous. If you play hide-and-seek with the Bulgarians like this, it will be a matter of time before you get caught.
What's more, even if they escaped the pursuit of the Bulgarian navy, the fuel on their warship was about to run out, and they couldn't run away if they didn't run away.
In order to keep the capital ship, Admiral Thomas has abandoned some of the ships and concentrated the coal and supplies on the ship to the capital ship to ensure the normal operation of the capital ship.
Your Excellency, the country hasn't issued an order yet, so we're going to break through now. If the loss is too great, how can we explain to the country? Major General Kanter objected.
Thomas said with a wry smile: Mr. Cantel, the current situation is very obvious, if it continues, we will not be able to leave even if we want to!
By the time the gentlemen in the country give the order, maybe our entire army has been wiped out!
Now retreat, we have no credit for success, and all responsibility for failure is ours, but we must bear the blame!
Without the Mediterranean Fleet, the Royal Navy's advantage over the Bulgarian Navy is no longer obvious. If the French Navy is added, we will still suffer in terms of tonnage!
Okay, you are the commander of the fleet, you should think about it yourself! Even if you go to a court-martial, you are the main culprit! Rear Admiral Kantel said helplessly
Damn it, I can only hope for God's blessing at this time, it's best if the French are taking a nap, let's rush over! Thomas said with a frown

The Bulgarian government is discussing whether to allow its allies to participate in the war, or whether to allow Austria-Hungary and West Russia to participate in the war.
There is no free lunch in the world, and Bulgaria must pay a price for them to participate in the war. In the post-war world order, they will surely occupy a more important right to speak.
Both the Austro-Hungarian Empire and West Russia have the potential to become a great power, especially West Russia has inherited the essence of the Russian Empire, and its development potential is still not to be underestimated.
Your Majesty, our strength is already enough to defeat the British. There is no need to drag our allies down. One more country participating in the war will add another target to share the spoils! Chief of Staff Christophe said.
Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, we can't calculate it like this. We can indeed defeat the British, but how long will it take? How much loss will we have to pay?
It is worth paying a part of the price to win the war in a shorter time with the help of allies!
Anyway, we can all get the biggest share of the benefits. The benefits left by the British are large enough, even if allies participate in the division, it is enough for us to eat! Foreign Secretary Coleman suggested
Mr. Coleman, according to what you said, wouldn't it be more in line with our strategy to attract the Japanese to join the war?
They can not only attack Indochina and India, but also go south to attack Australia and New Zealand, so that the British can't take care of each other first! asked Defense Minister Okstoff
Coleman calmly explained: General Okstov, we can allow the strength of our allies to increase to a certain extent, but this does not include Japan. It is impossible for Bulgaria to cultivate an enemy for itself!
The Japanese are far away in East Asia, and there is no country around them that can check and balance them. If we form an alliance with them and let their power continue to expand, we will not be the only voice in the world in the future!
Militarily desirable, does not mean politically desirable. Since ancient times, the military has served politics. Now that Bulgaria has a chance to win, the government is naturally more inclined to political factors.
Mr. Coleman, with all due respect, even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire and West Russia participated in the war, their contribution is very limited. Apart from dealing with the Germans, their role in the war against Britain is minimal! Chief of Staff Chris Tove frowned and said,
Your Excellency Chief of Staff, contribution is directly proportional to income, the lower the contribution of West Russia and Austria-Hungary, the lower their income!
They just shot against the Germans, so in the future profit division, their income will be limited to Germany, and at most they will be dividing up a part of the colony for them! said Coleman with a smile.
Little Ferdinand's political skills became more and more mature. He did not directly intervene in the battle between the military and the government, but only maintained the balance.
Anyway, the commanding power and personnel power of the army are in the hands of the king, and the royal family has a solid enough family background. Whatever they do, the situation is under control.
Up to now, he, the king, has transformed from an actual policy maker to an adjudicator.
Little Ferdinand no longer needed to express his attitude. Just like Ferdinand's time, the king just needed to hint behind, and the younger brother rushed forward.
If he succeeds, he, the boss, will naturally take the credit. If he fails, someone will take the blame, and it has nothing to do with him, the king.
Prime Minister, what's your opinion? Little Ferdinand asked
After being named, Tolsky quickly replied: Your Majesty, ending the war as soon as possible and winning the final victory is our top priority. Compared with that, paying a part of the price is within the acceptable range.
Moreover, the price paid now will not harm Bulgaria's interests, and the British and Germans will pay for it!
Little Ferdinand nodded thoughtfully, and the matter was settled.
With the efforts of the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on March 20, 1940, Austria-Hungary and West Russia announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the Germans.
On March 21, 1940, representatives of Bulgaria, France, Austria-Hungary, and Western Russia held talks in Sofia. A week later, the four countries reached an agreement and decided to form the Holy Alliance for the needs of world peace.
The next day, Belarus, the Dutch government-in-exile, the Belgian government-in-exile, the Luxembourg government-in-exile, Eastern Russia, the three Baltic states, and Finland submitted applications for alliance.
The most amazing thing is the Kingdom of Italy, which has also submitted an application for alliance. The speed of their role transformation and their ability to distinguish are simply invincible!
In order to strengthen the alliance's political influence, it is naturally impossible for Bulgaria to refuse the Italians to join.
The Italians are not expected to contribute militarily, but politically, the Kingdom of Italy is still a veteran nobleman in Europe, with a lot of influence!
Bulgaria formed the Holy Alliance, and the British were not to be outdone, and formed a pan-international front against each other.
It's just embarrassing that the Pan-International Front is not popular on the European continent. Except for the Germans joining, even Portugal, the hardcore younger brother of the British, is neutral.
The reason is the most realistic. It is said that the Spaniards intend to join the Holy Alliance, and the two sides are negotiating. If Portugal dares to form an alliance with the British at this time, the war will burn to their homeland.
There is no doubt that if the Portuguese are on the wrong team, the Holy Alliance will support the Spaniards to unify the peninsula. With such a big benefit, the Spaniard probably didn't even have to think about it, and just started fighting.
The British have no market in Europe. In addition to the military threat of the Holy Alliance, the more important thing is the historical grievances. Just think about the attributes of their teammates. Everyone must be counseled at this time.
However, the background of the British Empire is not covered. European countries have recognized their true colors and have little interest in forming an alliance with them, but the American continent is different.
Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Paraguay, Venezuela, Uruguay and other countries are all allies of the British.
Regardless of the area on the map or the number of participating countries, the pan-international front has an advantage, but it does not have an advantage in terms of strength.
This is embarrassing. After finding such a large group of allies, in addition to being able to wave the flag and shout, everyone is reluctant to do logistics, and there are very few who can send troops to fight.
Even so, it is still enviable. John Bull's diplomatic ability is still the best in the world for being able to win over so many allies even when he is not sure of victory.
This is the soft power of the British Empire in the era of sea power. Everyone has great confidence in the Royal Navy. In most people's minds, even if the pan-international front is defeated, it is only the defeat of the Germans on the European continent.
Relying on the strength of the Royal Navy, the British can still hold onto their vast colonies. Relying on the abundant overseas resources and spending it with the Holy Alliance, they are inherently invincible.
There is nothing wrong with this concept. On the bright side, even if the British are defeated, they can still stand on a par with Bulgaria.
Only ignoring the existence of the Air Force, the English Channel is no longer enough to guarantee the safety of the British Isles. Once the Germans are defeated, facing the entire European continent, their fate will only be delayed.
