Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

The world war was still going on, and immediately after the Battle of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Bulgarian Navy launched a landing operation on Cyprus.

At this moment, the defenders on the island had no fighting spirit. After a symbolic resistance, more than 300 British soldiers on the island put down their weapons and surrendered under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Philip.

Such a small battle is not worth mentioning in the world war. Even the London government is ready to abandon the Mediterranean.

London

Churchill said solemnly: Everyone, the operation of the Royal Navy has failed. It is only a matter of time before the fall of the Mediterranean Sea. Neither Sicily nor Malta are capable of long-term combat.

The most critical issue now is that we must find a way to keep India and South Africa, and it is best to keep the Suez Canal, otherwise this war will be difficult to fight!

Although the tactical command ability is not good, but in terms of strategic vision, Prime Minister Churchill is still very good.

Soon after the battle of Sicily broke out, he knew that the Mediterranean Sea could not be kept. Without the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal would be dispensable.

After all, the Bulgarians still have a Grand Canal in the Gulf of Aqaba with a larger navigable capacity. With this canal, the role of the Suez Canal has been greatly reduced.

Even if the Mandeb Strait is still in their hands, he doesn't think he can hold it for long, after all, the Bulgarians have already launched an attack.

Fighting against the Bulgarians on land, even if the British Army fights all of them, it can only give away their heads.

The Suez Canal can be lost, but South Africa and India cannot give up. If these two places are lost, then there is no need for the British Empire to fight this war.

The Minister of State frowned and said: Your Excellency, this is not just a problem with South Africa and India, the Germans are now asking us for reinforcements, and the military pressure they are bearing is too great.

If we cannot provide them with effective support, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Germans will collapse.

We cannot bear the consequences of losing the European continent. Without the restraint of the Germans, the Bulgarians can calmly integrate the European continent.

Once this terrible consequence happens, then there is no need for us to continue this war!

The colonies of India and South Africa cannot be lost. These two places are the pockets of the British. The Germans, the only powerful ally, cannot give up even more. Churchill frowned even tighter.

The strength of the British Empire is not unlimited, especially in the face of Bulgaria, a powerful player. He also has to admit that at this time, Bulgaria's overall national strength is above them.

The flag of the empire on which the sun never sets can only be fooled now, and European countries simply don't buy it.

Everyone is not a fool. Smart politicians know very well that standing on the side of Bulgaria will not only gain more benefits, but also have a greater chance of winning!

The worst result is a tie between the two sides. Anyway, no matter how powerful the British Empire is, they will not be able to counterattack the European continent, even if all the remaining countries unite!

This is the self-confidence of European countries and a manifestation of their strength. Once Germany is defeated, the current neutral countries will all fall to Bulgaria.

The empire on which the sun never sets is not in vain. Occupying the most valuable and extensive colony in the world, Bulgaria cannot afford the British Empire.

Especially after Bulgaria agreed to give up the Indian region and shared it with everyone, the British could no longer have an equal bargaining chip.

If the Bulgarian government dares to give up India, it is the generosity of others. If the London government dares to give up India, it is to give up the position of world hegemony!

The Minister of War said with a gloomy face: To support the Germans, supplies are not enough, we must also send troops, and this number cannot be less.

The Germans have mobilized more than 5 million troops, and will exceed 7 million in the future, but judging from the current situation,

This is still far behind the Eastern European Union.

We have to find a way to fill the gap of at least 5 million troops, which is still based on the fact that the enemy does not continue to mobilize.

The combat effectiveness of the Germans is not as outstanding as we imagined, the quality of officers is not as good as that of World War I, and our weapons and equipment cannot match Bulgaria.

Especially in the air force, the battle of Sicily can explain everything. We have a geographical advantage and deployed a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, but we still haven't blocked the enemy's front.

How should we solve the five million troops shortfall now? Due to the relationship between combat effectiveness, it is unrealistic to win this war by forming a colonial cannon fodder force!

The total population of the countries of the Holy Alliance will not be less than 350 million. With such a large population base, they will not be short of soldiers.

To make up for this gap, we must win over American countries to send troops, including the Japanese, who are now our target!

The British did prepare for war, but they were not ready to mobilize millions of people and send them to the European continent as cannon fodder!

The lessons of World War I have taught the British that the cruel wars on the European continent are really not suitable for them to play!

The lives of the British are too precious. After being fooled once, many people have awakened. They are not a war nation, and they have no intention of working for the capitalists.

Churchill frowned. He knew that this kind of pessimism must not spread in the British Empire. Once the people doubted the victory, it would be even more difficult to proceed with the subsequent conscription work.

Now the first thing to do is to convince the people in the government. If they don't have confidence in the war, should we continue to fight this war?

Everyone, be more optimistic, these problems are not impossible to solve, the problem of the shortage of troops is the best solution!

We can mobilize 4 million troops from the mainland, 3 million troops from the three North American countries, 500,000 troops from Australia, 200,000 troops from New Zealand, and 500,000 troops from Canada.

The British Empire alone can mobilize 8.2 million troops and form 5 million colonial troops. We have enough troops for the enemy to consume!

The cannon fodder troops in the colonies are worthless, we can keep building them, and the British Empire will not collapse until the blood of the Indians is shed! Churchill bewitched

It's a pity that everyone is an old fritter. These figures are only in theory. The British Army's establishment is too small. The most direct problem with the expansion of the army is the lack of officers.

It is too late to train them now, and the day lily will be cold by the time they train the generals.

The Minister of Defense frowned and said: Your Excellency, this number is almost the limit of mobilization. We cannot complete the mobilization without a year or two.

Will the enemy wait for us for such a long time? As long as the Bulgarians are willing, perhaps without waiting for our military expansion to be completed, the Germans will surrender, and India and South Africa will not belong to us anymore!

Foreign Secretary Attlee said: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has conducted in-depth communication with American countries, and we will receive 500,000 reinforcements in the next month.

Putting this army on the German battlefield, we can send another 500,000 troops to solve the urgent need first, and let the Germans take the defensive position. As long as we persist for a few months, we have completed the mobilization, so there is no need to worry!

If the Germans give up their offensive and adopt a shrinking strategy, it will become a war of attrition again, and it will definitely not be possible to tell the winner in the short term.

As long as the Germans hold on, anything is possible.

The mobilization system of the British Empire was not fast enough, and they did not get the support of the people. Regardless of their hype, the lessons of World War I told them that the country belongs to the capitalists, and only their lives are their own!

After the battle broke out for so long, the British Army has only mobilized more than 1.8 million troops, which are distributed in several dominions, and are undergoing emergency training.

Before the troops formed combat effectiveness, the Germans had to be held back. The main force of the British Army had to go to India and South Africa in an attempt to block the Bulgarian front.

That's right, everyone, let us cheer for the great victory of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It won't be long before reinforcements from all over the Americas will come in a steady stream. The final victory in this war will only belong to us! Prime Minister Churchill said passionately

No matter what ideas the American countries have, they must now fully support the British Empire, even if it is just lip service, it is what they need now.

There are cowards in any country. If there is no hope of victory and things are not going well, they may compromise.

Obviously, this is something that Prime Minister Churchill cannot tolerate, so they have won over the American countries at all costs and reversed the passive political situation.

...

Wars do not change according to personal preferences. At this moment, the Persian Campaign, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Mandeb Strait have all started.

It is completely a routine operation of the Bulgarian army. In an integrated land-air war, the air force bombs first, and the army launches an attack after it is completed.

Bulgaria's armored forces also began to show their prowess. After the air force bombing ended, they immediately launched an offensive, smashing the front of the British defenders to pieces.

The infantry soldiers who followed behind rushed up to attack and wiped out the remnants of the enemy in the shortest time.

Not everyone can play blitzkrieg, whether it is from Persia to India, or from Egypt to South Africa, it cannot be completed in a short time.

At such a distance, although the Bulgarian army was going well, it still could not achieve the effect of the Blitzkrieg.

It can be said that the vast territory, poor traffic, and harsh natural environment are the best nemesis of the Blitz.

For example: In history, the army of the Third Reich fell into the sand in the Soviet Union, which is an obvious example.

The vast land slowed down the attack speed of the German army, and after winter came, it directly buried the German army!

Now the Bulgarian Army is also playing at the speed of a blitzkrieg, but it is a pity that it cannot achieve the corresponding results. It will not be able to complete the task in the short term!
