Holy Roman Empire

In this context, everyone should not only participate in the war against Shinra, but also be careful of neighbors stabbing them.

It's not that the British government hasn't thought of a way to solve it, but there is no need to talk about it when it comes to interests.

Taking Chile, Bolivia, and Peru as examples, it is very simple to want Bolivia and Peru to give up their hatred, as long as Chile is willing to give up the gains from the South Pacific War.

It is naturally impossible for the Chileans to agree to eat the meat in the stomach and then spit it out, and then there is no talk.

No matter how great Britain's face is, it is not greater than its benefits.Even if the British government is willing to share the colonies of Shinra, it will have no effect.

Painting cakes cannot satisfy hunger. Although the colonies of the Holy Roman Empire are vast, there are not many that can be captured.

If there are too many people participating in the distribution of spoils, then no one can have enough to eat.Everyone joins the Pan Ocean Front to eat meat, not to starve.

In order to coordinate the relationship of allies and integrate the forces of the alliance, the British government was very busy, but the final harvest was very touching.

Every country has its own calculations. When the interests of the alliance conflict with their own national interests, the national interests must take precedence.

The Vienna government can't let the European countries do their best, and the London government can't let the Pan-Oceanic Front countries explode.

The allies have not yet settled, but domestic doubts are endless.The talkative parties have come off one after another, criticizing the government's foreign policy, as if this situation is all the result of this government's ineffectiveness.

Throwing away the angry newspaper, Campbell rubbed his forehead and asked, "Hasn't the Navy found a chance yet?"

If you can't break the situation politically, you can only seek a breakthrough in the military. War is always one of the sharp weapons to divert internal conflicts.

The Secretary of the Navy, Swinding, waved his hands and said, "Whether it is the enemy's Nanyang Fleet or the American Fleet, they are usually scattered in various ports, and they will not gather at all if there is no major event.

Unless we divide our forces and attack, it is difficult for us to hit the enemy's main force at one time.But after the division of troops, the advantage of the Royal Navy no longer exists.

Even if the enemy gathers occasionally, they are still operating in the coastal area. Considering that the enemy can withdraw to the port at any time, and the air force provides fire support, we did not take action rashly. "

The strength of the Royal Navy lies in the overall cooperation. If it is just a one-on-one battle with warships, their advantage is actually not great.

This is just the opposite of the army. The lobster soldiers are good in small-scale battles, but once the scale of the battlefield expands, they will wither immediately.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Asquith: "Since it is impossible to attack by surprise, then simply seek an opportunity to fight the enemy decisively.

With the cooperation of our allies, we can completely kill the enemy's two ocean-going fleets in a short period of time to ensure the smooth flow of maritime trade lines.

The pace of war is approaching, and the time left for us is running out.The saint of the Vienna Palace is now performing his final performance.

If there is no accident, it will not be long before their investigation results come out, and then they will declare war on us with righteous words. "

It can be seen that Asquith is very unimpressed with Franz.It's right to think about it, everyone doesn't have an image, but you alone have a problem, and the only problem is not being hated by others.

Foreign Minister Adam said indifferently: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already begun to coordinate the issue of joint operations, but it will take some time.

Now there are two troubles, one is the issue of command power, and the other is the distribution of benefits after the war.

Our allies have great appetites, and what they want seriously does not match their own strength, and we need to make them realize the reality. "

Britain's allies have also been less receptive since discovering that the enemy has changed from the Shinra to the European continent.It's just that getting on a boat is easy and getting off a boat is difficult. The reality does not allow them to shrink back.

At this point, even if someone wants to change jobs, the Vienna government must first consider the feelings of its own allies, and it is impossible to accept it.

Neutrality is even more nonsense. If the team wants to retreat after standing up, it is tantamount to offending the two families together, and they will definitely be liquidated after the war.

If it weren't for the efforts of all countries, the British government would have been rude to these allies with big appetites.

……

While the British were busy forming a team, after a week, the report of the investigation team finally appeared on Franz's desk.

Not surprisingly, all the evidence presented in this more than [-]-page investigation report pointed to the British.

After flipping through it casually, Franz lost the interest in continuing to read.There are too many words, and it is a waste of life.

After glancing at the crowd, Franz shook his head: "The content is too much, and it must be simplified. The evidence is too detailed, as if it is a personal experience, and it cannot withstand scrutiny at all.

Delete, delete, and subtract, and then add some ambiguous things.It would be perfect to add the British confession after the war.

When it is done, it will be announced to the public, asking the British government to hand over the murderer, compensate for the loss, and issue an ultimatum to them by the way.

Forget it, let's wait!Christmas is next week, for God's sake let the Brits have a good last Christmas. "

It also takes time to track down the evidence. In just one week, more than half of the time was spent on the road.

Regardless of whether there was any in-depth investigation, it is scary to think about being able to produce such a thick report in such a short period of time.

However, this report was drafted by professionals.The participants of the investigation team are all criminal investigation experts in various fields, and they are the group who most pursue the perfection of evidence.

Theoretically speaking, the witnesses and physical evidence listed above are complete, and there are even photos of joints, all of which are impeccable and cannot be denied by the British.

But falling into Franz's eyes, it was awkward no matter how you looked at it.Those who have experienced the impact of the Internet know that the more detailed the details of the fraudulent presentation, the easier it is to be overthrown.

On the contrary, ambiguous things are the most difficult to overthrow.Anyway, the history books are written by the victors, and the ambiguous content can be proved after the war.

Time can affect a person the most. After staying in this world for decades, Franz has completely integrated into the times, including: giving face to God.

There is no way, God's family's face is too great.Generally speaking, to disrespect God at such a critical moment as Christmas is to be against the people as a whole.

If you don't believe me, just look at the performance of the people present. No one raised any objections. It can be seen that everyone is a "faithful" believer in God.

Prime Minister Chandler: "Okay, Your Majesty. We will implement the investigation report later.

But since the declaration of war has to be postponed until after the festival, do you think you should ask the Pope to choose an auspicious day? "

It's really not ironic. Europeans have to choose a date when they encounter major events. Some superstitious masters even ask witches for divination.

The anti-British alliance includes the Papal State, and there is the most professional magic stick team, so it is natural to use it.

It seems to be feudal superstition, but it is not.Before and after the outbreak of war, people are most likely to feel confused and need to seek spiritual sustenance.

There is such a great god as the Pope, if you don't use it, it is simply a crime.It is the virtue of the Vienna government not to label the British heretics.

Of course, it is impossible to buckle without integrity.The struggle between monarchy and theocracy has always existed, that is, in the last 200 years, monarchy has overwhelmed religious authority.

Prior to this, European monarchs were also very hard-pressed.Although he regards himself as the most devout believer of God, Franz is still not ready to give the Holy See a chance when it comes to core interests.

"Then inform the Holy See that the day of declaring war is set for December 12, so that the Pope can prepare."

……

1 Thirty Chapters of War

Deliberately leaking the date of the declaration of war in advance, Franz accidentally made another historical precedent.

As an emperor, Franz's every move will inevitably be interpreted politically.What seems like a child's play is actually another game between the monarchy and theocracy.

The struggle between monarchy and theocracy in the European world has lasted for thousands of years. The religious reform initiated in the Middle Ages was based on the theoretical basis that Jesus said: "Give God what is God's, and Caesar what is Caesar's."

However, there is still no clear division of what belongs to God and what belongs to Caesar.

Everyone defaults to religion and secularism, but European religion has been integrated into people's daily life, and religion and secularity are simply inseparable.

Whether the power of the monarch is higher than the power of the church, or the power of the church is higher than the power of the monarch, there has never been an exact statement in the Holy Roman Empire.

Even when the assets of the church were confiscated back then, Franz made a deal with the Pope, using the name of the Pope to force the bishops in various places to compromise, not in the name of the government.

Although the goal has been achieved, such an operation can be done in one way, but one cannot rely on the Holy See for a long time.

So in the following decades, Franz has been secretly weakening the influence of the church, trying to put religion under the jurisdiction of the government.

Now, it's almost time for a showdown.The deliberate declaration of war at the moment is an obvious political signal.

It is to let everyone recognize the reality, the pope must act according to the will of the emperor, why does the church below stand aloof from the outside world?

People's hearts are constantly changing, and the bottom line is constantly breaking through.If it is left for decades, such hints will naturally not be effective.

But it is different now, the strength of the church has declined significantly, and the government has long intervened in religious affairs, but it has not been mentioned publicly.

Now it is put on the table, not only for the domestic Catholics, but also for the Protestants in the north.

The main purpose is to tell everyone: the Church of the Holy Roman Empire must listen to the emperor, so religious conflicts are meaningless.

As for leaking the date of the declaration of war and letting the British take precautions in advance, that's not a problem at all.

The colonies are being slaughtered to the point of bloodshed, and the places that can be protected have already been prepared, and the places that are not prepared do not need to be prepared now.

……

No matter how tense the situation is, the city of fog is still the city of fog.Even though the air is already filled with the smell of gunpowder, compared with the thick fog, it is not worth mentioning at all.

The sound of roaring mechanical turbines can be heard endlessly, and there are as many ships entering and leaving as the sky is full of stars.The Port of London under the thick fog was still as busy as before, as if it was not affected by the situation at all.

Even affected by the war, more ships have entered and exited recently, but the direction of commodity trade has changed.

Ships that originally traveled between the English Channel have now moved to the ocean one after another, and started ocean-going trade.

The ship that still chooses to stay, the current business is not import and export trade, but passenger transport.

In fact, since the news of the attack on the Suez Canal came back to Europe, the trade between Britain and European countries has ended, and the evacuation of overseas Chinese has also been put on the agenda.

The rise of every big city cannot do without sucking blood from its surroundings.As the world's number one metropolis, London is no exception.

Millions of immigrants from all over Europe gathered here. As the war approached, these expatriates naturally couldn't stay any longer.

Fortunately, these people came from more than a dozen countries. Otherwise, it would be impossible to evacuate so many people at once.

……

The dense fog filled the pier, and the visibility was less than 50 meters.At this moment, the towering lighthouse has started to work again and again, dutifully guiding the direction of every ship.

As the roar of the ship approached, more and more pedestrians gathered on the pier.Each one is full of big and small bags, as if fleeing from a disaster.

A middle-aged man in green clothes reprimanded sharply: "Come on, Andre. If you miss this boat, you're going to stay here..."

Before he finished speaking, Andre's boy shook his head and asked disdainfully, "Isn't it good to stay here?"

As if feeling that his dignity had been challenged, the middle-aged man scolded angrily: "Andre, you are really an idiot.

Don't forget that you are Sicilian, and if you ask such an idiotic question, don't say it's my Rudolph's son.

Look at the weather, how can it compare to Sicily?Look at the eyes of the people around you..."

In name, it is evacuation of overseas Chinese, but in fact it is fleeing.He couldn't even take care of himself, so naturally he didn't care about others training his son.

A similar scene is being played out in countless families at the moment.I have to admit that Britain these days is indeed full of temptations for ordinary people.

The second and third generations of immigrants who grew up in London have already developed feelings for this country, and the concept of mother country has become negligible.

It's a pity that Britain, as an island country, inherently lacks enough inclusiveness, even the Irish can't tolerate it, and naturally it can't accommodate them wanderers from other places.

Discrimination is everywhere, especially as the pace of war is approaching, the lives of immigrants are even more difficult.All kinds of surveillance, interrogation, and even unwarranted detention.

Unable to stand the strange gazes around them, or worried about their future, countless immigrants were forced to choose to return home.

In fact, the ones leaving now are either the poor ghosts, or the masters who are too greedy and take chances.

The really smart people sold off their assets in the British Isles as early as the beginning of the deterioration of the situation, and prepared to run away.

There is a price to be paid for being greedy. If you don’t cut the meat and stop the loss in time, you can only sell it with tears at the moment, to recover some of the cost in a symbolic way, or even have the property seized by others.

It can be heard from the conversation between the two that Rudolph and Andrew and his son are not rich masters.But anyone with a little wealth would have already bought a boat ticket and run away.

There is no way, the date of the declaration of war prepared by the Holy Roman Empire has been revealed by the media.No matter how unresponsive he was, he knew that if he didn't run now, he really couldn't run.

There are naturally those who choose to stay and share weal and woe with Britain, but there are definitely not many such brain-dead.

There is no way, even if you want to stay, people have to be willing to accept it.

In fact, returning home at this time also faced various problems.

Not only does employment need to be solved, but it also needs to be monitored. It feels a bit alien inside and out.

But Rudolph had no choice. He would not only be discriminated against if he stayed in Britain, but his life might also be in danger.

Thanks to the development of the British newspaper industry, Rudolph knew that the British Isles had limited food production and had to rely on imports for a long time.

The target of the war happened to be the world's largest exporter of agricultural products. Once the war continued for a long time, there might be famine.

Even though the British government has repeatedly guaranteed that it has a vast colony, there are still many allies rich in food that can guarantee domestic supplies.

However, the Irish workers next door couldn't hold back, and they repeatedly popularized the black history of the British government, making it really difficult for Rudolph to have confidence in the British government.

At the peak of Britain, just a famine starved millions of people to death. What if there was a war?

That's right, in the eyes of ordinary people, the British Isles are one, and Ireland is also an important part of the British Empire.

Among them, the British government will not publicize the grievances and hatreds.Ordinary Britons are ignorant, and Rudolph, who came out to make a living, was even more confused.

In contrast, at least food is guaranteed when returning home.Sicily, my hometown, is suitable for agricultural production and is one of the few agricultural product export areas in Italy.

The Holy Roman Empire is also the world's largest exporter of agricultural products. Even if a war breaks out, it is unlikely to go to Sicily to collect grain.

Anyway, in this war, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies is just following soy sauce, and it is unlikely that the mainland will become a battlefield.
