Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The Irish are descendants of the ancient Celtic nation, but the Irish, who have a large number of fertile fields, have not been able to develop an independent and unified nation-state for a long time.

For national independence, the Irish have also fought for hundreds of years. Especially after the outbreak of the Great Famine in the mid-19th century, the population of Ireland dropped from 8 million to less than 4 million, and they completely separated from the London government.

After the outbreak of the First World War, the Irish independence movement was on the rise, but it was finally extinguished, and the British also made concessions.

Limited national autonomy obviously cannot meet the needs of the Irish. In order to achieve complete national independence, they quickly got mixed up with the Bulgarians.

Mr. Sim, why are you here? How is your hometown? the intelligence officer Reith asked in surprise

Sim didn't answer directly, but instead asked, Reith, what's the Irishman going to do?

The Irish have a strong desire for independence. They are willing to help us land on the island of Ireland, but this requires the endorsement of the Holy Alliance. They demand that we publicly declare Ireland's independence and ensure that their independence and sovereignty will not be violated! Rui thought for a while and said

You can promise them that the country has no interest in the island of Ireland. We intend to make Ireland independent! Sim said with a slight smile

Compared with the enthusiasm of the Irish for independence, he was more worried about the strength of the Irish and whether they could provide help to the army during the landing operations.

Mr. Sim, the Irish Independence Organization lacks weapons, ammunition, and food. We need to solve this problem! Reith frowned.

Sim thought for a while and said: Well, the problem of weapons and ammunition is not too difficult, we can ask the Air Force for help and let them empty a batch of weapons and ammunition.

The problem of food is a bit troublesome. If the gap is too large, we have to wait until our army lands before it can be satisfied!

By the way, what's the reaction from the Scots? Is there any possibility of winning over?

Reith said embarrassingly: Mr. Sim, I'm sorry, we haven't opened up the situation in the British Isles except Ireland. The Scottish independence movement organization only has two or three kittens and puppies, which can be ignored!

In the process of national assimilation, England and Scotland have been integrated, and everyone has become a part of remembering interests, so naturally there is no revolutionary enthusiasm.

Forget it. We will launch a landing operation in two months. The specific time and place are waiting for notification. I will contact the headquarters and give them a batch of weapons and ammunition! Sim thought for a while and said.

...

On January 1, 1941, Bulgaria issued the Declaration of National Independence, publicly declaring that any nation that aspires to establish an independent country should be granted national independence after it is determined that it has the legal right to found a country!

This declaration kicked off the wave of national independence after the World War. In less than a week after the declaration was issued, Sofia received as many as dozens of applications for independent statehood.

Among them, Ireland is naturally indispensable, including Scotland, Wales and other regions, which have obtained the right to establish an independent country. It is worth mentioning that the three countries of British North America have also been independent.

If it weren't for the fear of shaking the allies' desire to fight, the areas with independent nations would continue to expand.

After occupying the Dominion of South Africa and the Egyptian region, the African continent has been divided into north and south by Bulgaria and France. Except for the Portuguese part of Mozambique, the southern African continent has become part of Bulgaria.

The expansion on the African continent has been completed, the most essential areas have been eaten up, Bulgaria is already full, and the rest is dispensable.

On January 1, 1941, the Holy Alliance Army Expeditionary Force was established, including: 500,000 troops from Bulgaria, 300,000 troops from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, 350,000 troops from the French Republic, 260,000 troops from West Russia, 30,000 troops from Belarus, and 15,000 troops from Finland ...

The 2 million expeditionary army was formed in this way. The Bulgarian Army General Augustus served as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and the soldiers pointed directly at the British Isles.

Don't look at the fact that the Expeditionary Force has only been established now. In fact, preparations began a few months ago. The troops promised by various countries have completed their assembly before the news is released to the public.

The current situation is different from a few months ago. All the countries on the European continent except Germany have joined the Holy Alliance, and their influence is very different.

Intimidation, although primitive, is also very effective. Under the threat of either friend or foe, even if they were more inclined to the British, everyone chose to stand on the side of the winner at this time.

Blessings and misfortunes never come singly!

After the formation of the Expeditionary Force was completed, the situation in Germany also changed, and the shadow of failure has enveloped the sky over Germany.

Except for the German army fighting out at the beginning of the war and looting a batch of supplies, there was only assistance from the British.

These are all consumables. The war has been going on until now, and they have been exhausted long ago. The Germans can only rely on themselves now.

In other words, there is not enough raw materials in the industry, even if they want to produce, they can't do it?

Even if they are defending at home, their production speed of weapons and ammunition still cannot keep up with the consumption speed on the battlefield, which is a tragedy.

Insufficient weapons and ammunition and insufficient strategic materials seriously restricted the combat effectiveness of the German army. On many fronts, the German army was constantly retreating, using long trenches to delay the enemy's attack.

Only the upper echelons of the German army know that the most critical moment is coming. Germany is not a big food-producing country, and it has to import food in peacetime, let alone in wartime.

Germany's material supply system has been suppressed to the lowest point. If it continues to decline, it will not be able to meet the most basic living conditions of the people.

Don't think about meat, you may not be able to see it every week. Butter, cheese, candy, tobacco and wine, tea, and coffee have long been withdrawn from the supply list.

Five hundred grams of bread per person per day, and the rest can be made up with potatoes. Those in the countryside have to dig some wild vegetables to survive, and their material supply standards are even lower.

With continuous failures on the battlefield and material shortages in life, the people's war weariness is gradually rising against this background, and the upper-level rulers are also eager to find a way out.

On January 2, 1941, the German government sent an armistice negotiating delegation to the Holy Alliance, and representatives from various countries gathered in Sofia to start negotiations.

The existence of Germany has seriously threatened the peace and security of the European continent. It must be divided and all countries must be paid for the war losses! French Foreign Minister Corleone said indignantly

The proposal of the French was supported by the four countries of Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Poland. As the biggest victims of this war, they are deeply hurt.

Coleman, who presided over the meeting, frowned, but he didn't object directly, but said slowly:

Mr. Corleone, calm down first. It's not difficult to ask the Germans to split, and it's not difficult to ask the Germans to pay reparations, but it's difficult to ask the Germans to pay reparations while being divided!

Whether to want money or to split Germany, this is a multiple-choice question. Once Germany is divided, a group of newly independent small countries will not be able to repay their debts.

No, even the German government is incapable of repaying its debts. The debts from World War I have not been paid off, and now there is another payment. What will they use to repay it?

Now the French have gained a lot of wisdom from a pitfall, and they no longer dare to play the trick of raising tigers. Even if German labor is free, they dare not help the Germans retain industrial production capacity.

Mr. Coleman, many things in this world cannot be measured by money. For the sake of world peace, the French Republic is willing to give up part of the compensation! Cole Leon replied without hesitation

Money can be made again if you run out of money. If you have to PK with the Germans every twenty years, then the French Republic will take pills sooner or later.

After the First World War, France's national strength was weakened by four levels, and it was not recovered until 1929. As a price, France fell behind from the world's first-line powers.

Although this war is not as tragic as World War I, France's overall national strength has still been seriously affected, and France's international status will definitely continue to decline after the war.

Judging from the current strengths of various countries, France, Austria-Hungary, and West Russia are all second-rate powers in Europe.

If Germany is not completely suppressed, if Bulgaria supports the Germans in the future, will they still have a good life?

Mr. Corleone, we all know your efforts for world peace, but you have paid such a high price, you still need to get compensation.

Germany has always been a united country that has never endangered world peace in the previous thousand years, but has frequently caused wars in recent decades.

This is not a problem of unification, but more of an institutional problem. As long as Germany restores the political system it had a century ago, all these problems will be solved!

There is no doubt that Coleman is talking nonsense. His main purpose is to keep a powerful but ununified Germany in the center of Europe.

Mr. Coleman, this does not guarantee the safety of the European continent. As long as Germany is not completely divided, they may threaten world peace again in the future! Cole Leon said with a frown

We can abolish the armies of the defeated countries and forbid them to produce any weapons, including pistols, which must be imported from abroad. I think this way, everyone can rest assured! Coleman said with a smile

He doesn't know whether the French are satisfied or not, but other European countries are very interested. A Germany that does not develop its military is not a threat.

And they can also use the expenditure they should have spent on military expenses to pay war indemnity, and everyone can share a sum to make up for the loss.

...

After the preliminary agreement was reached, Germany and the Holy Alliance signed an armistice treaty on February 8, 1941. The German army put down its weapons and surrendered, and the war on the European continent ended.

This time the Germans reacted quickly, and they didn't die until the end, and the British were at the bottom. In order to carve up the British colonies, everyone let them go.

It's just that the German central government was betrayed, and they have become rubber stamps from now on. According to the medieval election system, the central government was formed by the emperor's elect.

Can a central government formed by princes expect others to support it?

Even the Federal Parliament no longer exists. If there is a conflict, they may separate at any time, and any kingdom has the strength to fight for independence.

Anyway, there is no army, and weapons and equipment cannot be produced. If it wants to suppress the rebellion, the central government cannot do it.

This is also the result of a compromise. The French insisted that Germany be divided, and West Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire also meant to support the French for their own interests.

In the end, each made a concession. Germany continued to maintain nominal unity, and at the same time, the states had the freedom to establish independent states.

Don’t be surprised if one day a kingdom, or principality challenges the central government, this is normal operation, and this is their basic right given to them by the Treaty of Sofia.

It can be independent today, and can rejoin tomorrow. In short, this nominal Germany has become a joint organization of German states, and the states are free to come and go.
