Mediterranean Hegemony Road

London

Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald was on the verge of a meltdown, and since word of the promises they made to Germany and Italy leaked, he knew it was over.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, the French people were immediately angry, and they dared to sacrifice their interests. The angry French people also besieged the British embassy.

Forced by public opinion, the French government directly asked them to do multiple-choice questions.

France, Germany and Italy cannot coexist. French Prime Minister Daladier publicly stated: If there is Germany and Italy in the Western European Union, there will be no France, and if there is France, there will be no Germany and Italy!

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this question is difficult to solve. Whether it is without Germany, Italy or France, the Western European Union is incomplete.

Not everyone in the United Kingdom supported the establishment of this alliance. Chamberlain clearly expressed his opposition. He believed that this alliance would be useless except to drag the British Empire into the war.

The most embarrassing thing now is that internal conflicts have erupted before the Western European Union has been established, and the internal conflicts of interests of various countries are far greater than those with the Eastern European Union!

Judging from the current situation, war between Germany, Italy and France is likely to break out in the future, but the British Empire cannot survive alone.

This time, don't think about misfortune. The countries in the east have already formed an alliance. As long as Germany and Italy are not crazy, they will know that the persimmon is looking for soft pinches.

Prime Minister Ramsey MacDonald also knew about the internal problems of Germany and Italy. His original plan was to sacrifice small countries such as Poland, the three Baltic countries, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.

By sacrificing the interests of these neutral countries, the two countries can barely get out of the predicament, and then everyone will work together to fight against the Eastern European Union.

The plan cannot keep up with the rapid changes, and the benefits are calculated, but the national sentiment is ignored. Now it is not the Middle Ages, and the people have already awakened.

No matter how good the land outside was, it was not as good as my hometown. No matter what the British promised, they would not buy it and insisted on reclaiming their homeland.

If Germany and Italy insist, can the French still make concessions? The French people did not agree either!

This is their spoils of war, why give up?

Besides, after so many years, there are millions of French people living in these places, who would dare to let them move?

The present situation,

What do you guys think? asked Ramsay Macdonald, frowning.

Your Excellency, the current situation is not good for us. With the relationship between Germany and France, even if we pull them into the alliance, it will be difficult for us to play their due role! Foreign Secretary Attlee said

This problem is already obvious, Mr. Attlee, the purpose of our establishment of this alliance is not to fight, we just want to keep the European continent in balance!

No one would expect Germans and French to be united in good faith, that is impossible and not what we want! ’ replied Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald

It's funny to say it, the British established an alliance to avoid war?

It is estimated that many people will feel that it is a fairy tale when they hear this news!

However, this is indeed a fact. In Britain, where anti-pacifism is on the rise, it is politically correct to avoid the outbreak of war, especially a war where the outcome cannot be determined!

Well, Your Excellency, even so, so what?

In terms of strength, the French are currently stronger, but in terms of geographical location, Germany and Italy are more important to us.

Once we ally with France, Germany and Italy will inevitably fall to Bulgaria, and then the European continent will be almost unified.

Now the small neutral countries will fall to Bulgaria, and with the support of Bulgaria, Germany and Italy will inevitably attack France and knock down the last nail on the European continent!

When the time comes, what should we do? To help or not to help?

If you help, even if Britain, France and the West join forces, there is no chance of winning.

If we don't help, the European continent will no longer have our right to speak!

Conversely, if we choose Germany and Italy, then France is very likely to join the Eastern European Union, and it is also very likely to choose neutrality.

The arrogant French will not be a younger brother to others, but what Bulgaria needs now is not an ally, but an obedient younger brother!

In the future, Germany and Italy will still fight the French. There is no way to ease the conflict between them. Once the war breaks out, we will still be dragged into the water!

Perhaps this is what the Bulgarians want to see, if the French submit to them, then we have nothing to do but give up the European continent.

If France is neutral, they will take advantage of the conflict between Germany, Italy and the French to push the outbreak of war behind their backs, and we will have to fight the French. Attlee said with a wry smile.

Since the establishment of this alliance, they have said that it is going to war, so why not establish this alliance?

The consequences are even more serious. Germany and Italy will still have to compete with France, and Western Europe will be burnt to pieces. After the war, all European countries will fall to Bulgaria, and the world hegemony will be replaced.

The dead end of the problem lies in the territorial dispute between Germany, Italy and France, which covers hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. This is not a colony, this is a domestic dispute, and neither side can make concessions.

Do you still have different opinions? Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald asked expectantly

Your Excellency Prime Minister, can't we draw in other allies? Chancellor of the Exchequer Rafael said dissatisfied

Mr. Raphael, do we have any other allies? There are only so many countries with some strength on the European continent.

The remaining small neutral countries such as Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, even if we spend a lot of money to bring them over, what is the use? asked Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald

The resources of the British Empire are not unlimited. If the cost of attracting allies is greater than the cost of compromising with Bulgaria, they might as well compromise.

This kind of trouble will soon pass, and the British general election is about to start again. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald has no confidence to be re-elected, so this issue can be dragged on.

Later, whichever unlucky guy is the successor, let that unlucky guy take the blame, anyway, just don't let him make this decision to pull hatred.

...

Your Majesty, the Spanish Civil War has broken out, and the scale is still very large! Coleman gloated.

Little Ferdinand smiled slightly. At this time of the Spanish Civil War, the life of the British was even more difficult.

The selection of allies also depends on whether they are reliable or not. The Spaniards are obviously cheating their teammates. After their civil war is over, their national strength will be almost exhausted.

This alliance with the Spaniards, not only will John Bull not get any benefits, but he will also contribute money and efforts to help fight the civil war.

The only advantage is probably that Germany and Italy will not be involved in this civil war. They are all poor ghosts now, let alone Soviet Russia. Who knows who they are?

Bulgaria has never had the habit of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. This is a diplomatic strategy formulated by Ferdinand. Even if it wants to intervene, it cannot intervene openly.

Obviously, Spain didn't know that Bulgaria was spending so much effort to engage in a roundabout strategy.

Let's declare neutrality, let's see how the British deal with it!

By the way, I would like to appeal to both parties to exercise restraint, try to resolve conflicts through negotiation, and then condemn the countries that interfere in Spain's internal affairs, and give them the shit that started the war!

Little Ferdinand directly decided to watch the excitement, and at the same time, he did not forget to add a bit of trouble to the British.

The Spanish Civil War was a war between left-wing democrats and right-wing conservatives. For Bulgaria, the reason and process are not important, the key is to disrupt the layout of the British.

Your Majesty, since the British support the left-wing forces, shouldn't we support the right-wing groups and make them evenly matched, the effect will be better! Foreign Secretary Coleman suggested

You mean to secretly support the Franco Group? Do you think they can win the final victory? Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously

If you can support a Spanish government that hates the British, it is naturally worth Bulgaria's shot.

However, from a geopolitical point of view, Bulgaria does not have that much influence on Spain, and it is not easy to support a regime.

Your Majesty, aren't there still Frenchmen? For their national defense and security, the French must now support a pro-French Spanish regime.

The original left-wing coalition is no longer reliable, they have just won the parliamentary election, and they are messing with the British.

If the French do not want to be surrounded on all sides, it is imperative to support the Franco Group, which is opposed to the British, and we are just pushing it secretly.

Then come forward to cheer up the Franco Group, stabilize the morale of the people, and at most give some money and weapons, other things have nothing to do with us! Coleman said with a smile

Little Ferdinand nodded thoughtfully, agreeing. As long as Bulgaria is not the first bird, it doesn't matter.

It is good if it succeeds, it can weaken the influence of the British in the world, but if it fails, it will be the French who are blamed for their hatred.

As in history, this Spanish civil war is a preview of future wars, but the protagonist has changed.

The reality is so cruel. The Anglo-French alliance, which was originally closely related, parted ways more than ten years ago under the impetus of interests, and now stands on the opposite side.

Germany and Italy, which were originally enemies, have now become John Bull's new younger brothers.

After sighing, little Ferdinand put away his thoughts.

How far has the alliance negotiation between the British and Germany and Italy reached? Little Ferdinand asked with concern.

The two countries have reached an agreement on major issues, but they have been arguing about minor issues. I just felt that the British seemed to be deliberately delaying time and not wanting to sign a treaty. This is very wrong! Coleman frowned. said

The general election year is here, and it is normal for this kind of thing to happen. For Prime Minister MacDonald, this kind of treaty with serious consequences is not signed if it can be signed.

After all, do more and make more mistakes, do less and make less mistakes, and if you don’t do it, you won’t make mistakes!

The cabinet that has been doomed not to be re-elected, they will naturally not do such thankless things! Prime Minister Tolsky explained

This is not the first time. Didn’t the previous cabinet delay the management of London’s smog?

Macdonald took the crown for Prime Minister Stanley Wynne Baldwin a while ago, and he had a bloodbath on the issue of London smog.

Now the fortunes are changing, and the one with the highest popular approval rate is the former Prime Minister Stanley Win Baldwin. There is no other reason, but his economic ability is strong.

This is politics. If you don't cheat your opponent before leaving office, you are not a qualified politician!
