Holy Roman Empire

Prior to this, the Afghan National Revolutionary Party launched an armed revolution in May and fired the first anti-Russian shot.

It's just that anti-Russian riots often occur in Afghanistan, and the guerrillas have never been wiped out, and they have not attracted everyone's attention.

On June 6, French workers in Siberia rioted, and the Trans-Siberian Railway was interrupted for a time.

On June 6, the Ottoman immigrants who were exiled to Siberia also participated in the rebellion.

This is not over yet. At the beginning of July, a rebellion also broke out in Grozny in the Caucasus.

On July 7, the Kazakhs in Central Asia also joined the anti-Russian movement, and the Central Asian Railway was forced to stop.

……

So many independences and rebellions are obviously not something that the British family can plan.

Leaving aside other things for the time being, we can explain the problem by looking at how the revolutionary party returned to Russia and where the weapons and equipment came from.

European countries cheated the Russians together, and it was hard for the Tsarist government not to be unlucky.What's more, the Russian Empire is still leaking everywhere, creating opportunities for everyone.

The Russians are unlucky, and European countries have not been able to survive alone.Revolutions are contagious, especially when the British are firing on all cylinders.

On June 6, the Portuguese Republicans launched a coup, and Carlos I fled in a hurry.

On June 6, religious clashes broke out in Madrid, the capital of Spain, resulting in 24 deaths and 7 injuries. The conflict between reformists and conservatives escalated.

On June 6, the republican movement broke out in Italy, the Grand Duke of Lucca fled in a hurry, and the life of the Papal State was also hanging by a thread.

On the same day, an anti-war movement broke out in Hannover, demanding that the Vienna government end the war and restore peace.

On June 6, anti-Russian demonstrations broke out in Prussia.

On July 7, anti-war demonstrations broke out in the Netherlands.

……

It's a mess, the entire European continent is a mess from east to west.

The British just made a start, and the rest is free for all countries to play. They cheat you, you cheat me, and I cheat him.

The Continental Union fell into chaos, and Britain was not able to escape. As the protagonist of this war, how could there be no conflicts in the country?

After the Battle of the English Channel, the days of peace in the British Isles came to an end, the people's aversion to war reached its peak, and the voice of anti-war among the people became increasingly louder.

On June 1905, 6, an anti-war strike broke out in Bradford, followed by Sheffield, Liverpool, London, Dublin and other major cities.

Especially in the Dublin area, the momentum of the independence movement has also risen. If there were not enough troops stationed, I am afraid that the locals would not only oppose the war, but would fight for independence.

Chapter 154

Although the Seven Injury Fist has a serious backlash, it has to be admitted that its power is great.Especially when European countries are contributing to the flames, the power of the outbreak will be even greater.

The Trans-Siberian Railway was interrupted, and the good situation in the Russian Far East turned into water; the Central Asian Railway was cut off, and the alliance's offensive in India was interrupted.

Civil strife broke out in the Russian Empire, and the tsarist government was too busy to take care of itself, and it simply couldn't take care of the front-line Russian army.

The Russian army in the Far East is out of reach, but the Russian army in Central Asia, as an ally, cannot watch them starve, especially since the coalition forces have successfully joined forces.

Fortunately, India is rich enough to obtain some supplies on the spot as supplies, otherwise Franz could only order the withdrawal of troops.

Although there is no withdrawal of troops now, don't even think about launching an attack for a while.Suddenly there were 80 more mouths, crowding out a large amount of the coalition forces' transport capacity.

Not only has the Indian battlefield been affected, but even the progress of the "Sea Lion Project" has been delayed.

The European continent is in chaos, how can France be stable?There was no major disturbance because the Allied forces were going to land in the British Isles and temporarily live in France.

With millions of troops gathered, no matter how big the chaos is, it can be extinguished.After several failed rebellions in a row, the Revolutionary Party stopped engaging in armed uprisings and started a strike movement instead.

Affected by the general strike, the railway in France was interrupted for a while. In order to stabilize the rear, the coalition forces had to put out the fire in the backyard first.

In a place as big as the European continent, countries are very closely connected, and the situation affects the whole body.

To stabilize the backyard, not only to help the French government stabilize the situation, but also to help other allies stabilize the situation.

For example: helping the restoration of the Portuguese king.

Although the Republican Party also stated that it would join the alliance and continue to fight against the UK, doing things at this point in time is the enemy of the alliance, the kind that has no room for negotiation.

Allies should naturally help each other.Except that the French and Portuguese allied forces ended in person, the remaining governments acted spontaneously.

Whether this help played a positive or negative role remains to be further studied.

Anyway, in Franz's view, without the selfless dedication of allies, the turmoil in Europe would be at most one-third of what it is now.

There is nothing to blame, politics is what it is.The contradictions among European countries have been around for a long time, even if they are pulled down to an alliance, it does not mean that the contradictions do not exist.

Opportunities come to your door, if you don't play tricks, you will have problems.Anyway, it is the British who are responsible, so there is no need to be polite.

Whoever has more enemies is the most intuitive manifestation at this time.Without any surprises, the Russian Empire, which was chaotic from east to west, and from south to north, topped the list of being pitted with absolute advantage.

There was fierce turmoil within the alliance, but the Vienna government turned a deaf ear to it.It's not that Franz didn't want to do anything, it's because his family got involved, and he didn't have the confidence to speak.

Anyway, things have already happened, and it's too late to stop.It is good for everyone to make peace and dump the blame on the British to maintain the internal unity of the alliance.

Let's make trouble, the British Empire after the Battle of the English Channel is already a "dead grave at home", and it doesn't matter if it is cleaned up later.

No matter how lively the outside is, as long as there is no turmoil in Shinra, Franz can sit back and watch the world.

Interest is the eternal driving force, and the British are about to be pulled down and replaced by their own. The Holy Roman Empire can be described as unprecedentedly united.

Just look at the final outcome of the matter.The anti-war movement in Hannover had just kicked off before being suppressed by the state government.

Britain's influence in the local area is still not greater than its interests.For their own interests, the Hanoverian nobles, military, and bourgeoisie all took a firm stand on the main battle.

Even the Anglophiles now want to overthrow the British in order to inherit the rich heritage of the British Empire.

Anti-war not only cut off our money, but also cut off our future.

The hatred of obstructing the way is irreconcilable.

In this context, anti-war will naturally not have good results.

The fact is also the same. The experts and scholars who called on the whole people to oppose the war had just shouted a few slogans before they were accused of being "British spies".

Then, there is no more.Using heavy codes in troubled times has offended all interest groups. Even if you can save your life, you can't expect to have a future.

In contrast, the anti-Russians in Prussia were much happier, only being warned.

The anti-Russian movement has lasted for decades in Prussia, and it has long become one of the daily activities of residents.

On a certain day, the folks hold a parade every year.Now it's only a few days ahead of schedule, so it's not a big deal at all.

On the surface, it doesn't seem to have much influence, but the political influence is too great.The anti-Russian elements have not been dealt with, and in the eyes of the outside world, it is a political signal that the "Vienna government is anti-Russian".

In a sense, everyone dared to attack the Russian Empire unscrupulously, and they were also affected by this aspect.

Misleading is misleading, Franz will not come out to explain at this time, that is what the Prussian government did and has nothing to do with the Vienna government.

Although this is true, the Constitution of the Holy Roman Empire clearly stipulates that unless it is a major event involving national security, the central government cannot intervene in the internal affairs of the state without the initiative of the state government.

The anti-Russian demonstrations obviously do not involve national security.It is even more impossible for the Prussian government to give up its high degree of autonomy for such a trivial matter.

Facts are facts, but politics is about complicating simple things.If an explanation is made now, it will fall into the eyes of the outside world as "there is no silver 300 taels here".

If you have this skill, you might as well support the Irish independence movement.At least it can further attack the British and shorten the duration of this war.

……

In St. Petersburg, with the outbreak of the revolutionary wave, this house in the Russian Empire became more and more ethereal in the wind and rain.

Nicholas II, who has entered middle age, has matured a lot in terms of temperament and political skills, but he is still unable to clean up the current mess.

The war, the wave of strikes, the wave of revolution, the wave of independence, all collided.

In fact, the strike movement in the Russian Empire had begun to appear as early as two months ago.

It's just that the number of people who participated in the strike at that time was not as large as it is now, and it did not spread to the whole country.

With the joint efforts of the tsarist government and the capitalists, the turmoil was quickly quelled, but the problems involved were not fundamentally resolved.

Prices are still going up, and overtime hours are getting longer. The only thing that doesn't move is wages.

A large number of social contradictions had already accumulated, and the revolutionary movement supported by the British naturally became the fuse.

Just when the Russian Empire needed help the most, allies jumped out to add insult to injury.

For example: In the Finnish independence movement, apart from the limited support of the British, the Nordic Federation contributed more.

Another example: the Polish independence movement was backed by the Kingdom of Prussia.

……

These support activities are not limited to spiritual support, but real money.

If you investigate deeply, you will find that the main commander of the rebel army was actually serving in the armies of various countries a few months ago.

In order to make things happen, people don't want to lose face, so naturally they won't be afraid of the tsarist government's protest.

It can only be said that the era of the Russian Empire is over.Even if the tsarist government has repeatedly declared that it will retaliate in the future, it will not shake everyone's determination to do things.

There is no way, the overlord of continental Europe is now the Holy Roman Empire.It doesn't matter if you do things secretly. If you want to send troops to attack a sovereign country, first ask the boss if he agrees.

In fact, even if the Vienna government did not interfere, the Russian Empire could not do much.

There are too many countries involved, and it is still unknown who will beat whom in the end.

The issue of revenge is not in a hurry, the most urgent thing is to get through the current hurdle.

The strike movement spreading across the country is still intensifying, and strike waves have occurred in almost every city with a population of more than [-].

What worried Nicholas II even more was the endless rebellion in the country.So far, the population involved accounts for nearly 30.00% of the total population of the Russian Empire.

Open the map, and at a glance, half of the Russian Empire has planted the flag of the rebels.If it is not handled well, the Russian Empire will be cold.

"boom!"

The cup in his hand fell to the ground, and the hot coffee splashed everywhere.

"What, the Austrians cut off our supply of strategic materials?"

Because Nicholas II was not nervous, the war has progressed to the present, and the strategic materials provided by Shinra have accounted for half of the total materials.

If these supplies are suddenly gone, what will be used to fill the gap?If the supply of strategic materials is insufficient, what can the Russian army use to suppress the rebellion, and what to use...

Foreign Minister Mikhailovich explained: "It is not a complete cut off, but a temporary reduction in the supply of strategic materials to us, and about [-]% of the previous share can be retained.

The reason given by the Vienna government is: In order to ensure the logistical material supply of our army going south, we can only reduce the quota of strategic materials provided to our homeland. "

After hearing this explanation, Nicholas II choked instantly.If you want to condemn, you can't say it.

Although it is a joint operation, due to geographical factors, the logistics of the Russian army is currently independent of the allied forces.

Now that there is a rebellion in Central Asia, the Russian army in India has no way out and can only be supported by the allies.

Suddenly there are 80 more troops, and the strategic materials needed are naturally not a small sum.Such a big gap cannot be filled just by filling it up.

From the standpoint of the Allied Forces, reducing the import of strategic materials to Russia and using them to fill this hole is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.

Anyway, it was all used on the Russian army in the end. The Vienna government’s commitment to provide general strategic materials has not been reduced, and it is not a breach of contract.

The problem was on the bright side, and Nicholas II could not object.Otherwise, the 80 Russian troops on the front line will be hungry.

However, suppressing domestic rebellions also requires the consumption of a large amount of strategic materials.

In particular, the rebels occupied the Central Asian Railway and the Siberian Railway, and the strategic materials that the Tsarist government had hoarded along the railways also fell into the hands of the rebels.

Realizing that something was wrong, Nicholas II hurriedly ordered: "Immediately send someone to communicate with the Vienna government and ask them to increase the quota of strategic materials."

There is little hope and we must try, otherwise the battle to suppress the domestic rebellion will be difficult to fight.

Chapter 155 The Difference Between Politics and Military

European countries pitted the Russians together, the Continental Alliance fell into infighting, and the Oceanic Alliance finally got a short respite.

The first to benefit is Japan. Unlike the smooth sailing in the original time and space, this Russo-Japanese War was full of twists and turns.

Especially after the failure of the Malacca naval battle, the Spanish navy came to make trouble every now and then, causing the Japanese Empire to almost collapse.

The safety of the route was threatened, the transport fleet was often attacked, and the supply of logistical materials was insufficient, so the Japanese troops on the front line would naturally be affected.

If it weren't for the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers, the battle line would have collapsed long ago.Even so, the battle line retreated from Vladivostok all the way to the banks of the Yalu River.

The shadow of failure hangs over the heads of the Japanese, and the mood of despair continues to spread. The Japanese government has even begun to prepare for the way out.

At this critical moment, the Spanish navy, which was active in the Sea of ​​Japan and often made troubles, suddenly stopped coming.
