Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Time flies, and it soon entered June 1925.

At this time, more than four months had passed since the Luocheng H bomb explosion experiment.

Since the last time he saw the H-bomb explode, Lin Yi ordered the Luocheng base to continue producing H-bombs, and he himself returned to the capital.

After returning to the capital, Lin Yi showed Zhao Xi photos of the scene. He also told him the scene at that time, which shocked Zhao Xi.

He didn't expect that there would really be a bomb that could blow up a city with one bomb.

At this moment, Zhao He was frightened and at the same time felt very lucky. After all, the empire was the first to master this weapon.

He couldn't help but feel that the money invested in this experimental team over the years was worth it.

Zhao Xi asked Lin Yi to improve Luocheng's security and defense, and the secret of the H bomb must not be known to the enemy.

Even if Zhao He didn't say it, Lin Yi would do it.

After everything was done, Empire and Lin Yi became quiet again.

The whole world in 1925 was not as peaceful as in 1924.

After more than a year of running-in, Europe has made new moves.

The first to take action was not the Hans Empire, but the Rhineland Republic, which was sandwiched between the Hans Empire and the Gallic Empire.

As mentioned before, the Rhineland Republic knew that it had offended its two powerful neighbors, who wanted to form a military alliance to beat it.

Therefore, the Rhineland Republic abandoned the Hans Empire and the Gallic Empire, and turned around to get involved with the John Empire and Millican.

But you said, let's just mix them together. After all, everyone knows this kind of thing tacitly.

But if you get involved, you should keep a low profile, but the Rhineland Republic does not.

After it signed a bilateral trade agreement with the John Empire and the Millican Empire, that is, after the paramilitary alliance treaty, it suddenly felt that it was very embarrassing that it had been targeted by the Hans Empire and the Gallic Empire.

Since you are so embarrassed, you must find your place.

Ever since, after signing treaties with the two countries, it began to exert pressure on the Hans Empire and the Gallic Empire.

This kind of pressure is still an economic pressure, which has caused another blow to the Hans Empire, which had already begun to recover economically.

Adolf was so angry that he slammed the table on the spot, wanting to show Rhineland something awesome.

But he was stopped by Ludendorff.

Ludendorff told Adolf that the Hans Empire was not ready for war yet, so he advised him to be patient.

Adolf knew that what Ludendorff said was true, but he also felt that it would damage the majesty of the Hans Empire if he was insulted by the Rhineland like this.

As a result, with Adolf's acquiescence, large-scale protests took place in the Hans Empire.

Some reckless youths from the Hans Empire directly smashed the shops and factories of the YT people.

Those YT people living in the Hans Empire reported to the local patrol police, but received indifferent looks from them.

It was obvious that these patrol officers did not want to deal with this matter, and they even supported the young people.

At the same time, the Hans Empire used this to pass high tax provisions for the YT people.

This clause is very overbearing. You must either pay half of the turnover tax or leave the Hans Empire.

What I’m talking about here is turnover, not profit.

This may lead to factories and stores with relatively high costs and thin profits to lose money as long as they are in business.

And this is the result Adolf wants.

He just wants to use this demonstration to clean out the YT people.

At the same time, the actions of the Rhineland Republic also made the Gallic Empire see a crisis.

After all, when it comes to economic sanctions, the blood and tears of the Gauls are no less than those of the Hans.

You must know that the last financial crisis that affected the world was caused by the Rhineland Republic, and it almost collapsed the Hans Empire.

Therefore, now that they see the Rhineland doing this to the Hans Empire again, they are also worried that the Rhineland will do the same to them next time.

Therefore, the Gauls took the initiative to approach Adolf this time, wanting to further cooperate with Adolf.

And this is what Adolf wants.

Therefore, in July 1925, in Rome, the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, the three countries signed a treaty of defensive alliance.

The treaty stipulates that if any one of the three countries is attacked by a third country, the other two must send troops to help.

If we say that the trade treaty between the three countries guarantees the stability and freedom of the trade lines between the three countries, it is a quasi-military treaty.

So now this three-nation defensive alliance is a real military treaty.

Following the signing of the treaty, the leaders of the three countries went to the Vatican to pray for the Pope's blessing.

Pope Pius XI also readily agreed.

Let me say one more thing about Pius XI.

In fact, before the unification of the Kingdom of Italy, the city of Rome was the territory of the Papal States.

But later, when the kingdom was unified, they wanted to take back these lands.

This touched on the interests of Pius XI, so Pius XI directly refused.

The King of Italy did not dare to be tough with Pius XI, so he only took back the lands of the Papal States except Rome.

Later, as Lao Mo came to power, he wanted to restore the glory of the ancient Roman Empire throughout his life.

But he actually wanted to restore the Roman Empire, but in the end the city of Rome was not in his hands. Is this possible?

Therefore, Lao Mo went to discuss with Pius XI, hoping that Pius XI would change the place.

He could make the decision and trade two cities for Rome.

But Pius XI naturally refused. Are you kidding me? What is the status of the city of Rome? That has been the center of Europe for thousands of years. How could it be given away so easily?

As a result, the talks between the two parties collapsed, and Lao Mo angrily expressed that he would take back Rome by force. Pius XI also said, I am here, and you can come if you have the ability.

Lao Mo is a tough guy, so he really came.

Pius XI looked at Old Mo, are you serious? Suddenly he lost his composure.

Therefore, Pius XI ordered his Swiss Guards to defend the city of Rome. At the same time, he himself went to live on Vatican Hill, the commanding height of Rome.

As I said before, the army of the Kingdom of Italy is actually very capable, it just depends on whether they are willing to fight.

It was obvious that the army of the Kingdom of Italy was very interested in regaining the thousand-year-old city of Rome, so it took them only two hours to defeat the Swiss Guards, the pro-army forces of the Papal States.

But what happens next is a little troublesome.

After the Kingdom of Italy defeated the Swiss Guards and took over the city of Rome, it did not continue the attack. Instead, it released the encirclement, hoping that Pius XI could run out of Rome on his own.

After all, Pius XI is the Pope. Who in the Western world would dare to actually attack the Pope?

In this way, maybe everyone has no idea, so let’s put it another way. If it were still the Somme War in World War I, the Hans Empire and the Gallic Empire were fighting a bloody battle, and both sides were desperate.

At this time, if you throw Pius XI into the middle of the battlefield, both sides will definitely stop, and then respectfully invite Pius XI out before fighting.

Don't think this is a joke, this kind of thing can definitely happen.
