Holy Roman Empire

The British Far East Fleet was miserable and miserable. Both were the losers in the Malacca naval battle. Naturally, the life of the Japanese Navy would not be easy.

Most of the navy wealth accumulated during the 30 years of the Meiji Restoration was ruined at once. The No. 1 naval power in East Asia has directly become a joke.

For the newly emerging Japanese nationalism, the defeat of the Malacca naval battle is obviously unacceptable.

With the news of the defeat, the slogan of "Tianzhu Country Thief" resounded throughout the Japanese archipelago.

Once known as the "Navy of National Hope", it turned into a national sinner that everyone spurned overnight. The extremeness of the island country is fully reflected here.

The Emperor's Palace, since the news of the defeat of the Malacca naval battle, Emperor Meiji has convened successive imperial meetings.

It's not enough if you are not nervous. Speculation failure comes at a price. The defeat of the Malacca naval battle directly put Japan in danger.

Prime Minister Kataro: "The search and rescue ships have returned one after another. We have also lost two search and rescue ships because of the Spanish navy, and the remaining warships may not be able to return.

Combined with the battle report announced by Austria, it can be basically determined that Ito will kill him.

According to the information from Cam Ranh Bay, the British Far East Fleet suffered heavy losses as well, and no battleships of more than 10,000 tons could be found in the port.

The situation in the Far East has completely eroded, and for a long time to come, we will all face enemy maritime threats. "

Regardless of whether Ito Yuhyung died in battle or not, he must be "killed and become benevolent", otherwise there would be no way to explain to the people in China.

Ordinary people, no matter why they are defeated, are defeated on the battlefield. They are incompetent, trash, and national thief.

Only by dying on the battlefield can some of everyone's grievances be dispelled a little, but the name "waste" is still indispensable.

Relatively speaking, whether Ito Yuhiro died in battle is only a small question. The biggest problem right now is the erosion of the situation in the Far East.

As an island country, it is undoubtedly fatal to lose control of the sea. In particular, the Russo-Japanese War is violently unfolding.

Once the Shinra Navy advances eastward, not only will the frontline Japanese troops be destroyed, but even the Japanese archipelago will be in danger.

Ito Bowen: "The result of the Malacca naval battle has proved the strength gap between us and the top powers.

It is impossible to bridge these gaps without decades of hard work. However, what we lack most right now is time.

The situation in Europe is also tense. The Holy Roman Empire is now attacking from all sides, and the British are already exhausted.

The Royal Navy is not omnipotent. In a short period of time, the British may not be able to deploy enough warships to reinforce the Far East.

As for the other allies in the alliance, everyone knows that the United States has some strength, and the rest is not as good as us.

Although the Washington government also sent troops, their binding force on the states was very limited, but now the western states are anti-war.

It may not be realistic to expect them to send troops to support us for a while. At the moment we can only rely on ourselves.

The imperial navy has been greatly injured, and the enemy can block the Sea of ​​Japan at any time. There is no military attack at all, but a breakthrough in diplomacy. "

It's not Ito Hirobumi, but it's really impossible to fight now. If the navy can't stand it, Japan will become an island.

Once the shipping is cut off, the Japanese army on the front line will soon be defeated because of the loss of logistical supplies. At that time, the Shinra Navy only needs to send the Russian troops from the Far East to the island.

The only thing we can look forward to now is that the Shenluo Navy was also badly injured in the Malacca naval battle, and was unable to advance east in a short time.

It's just that this probability is too small. According to the information returned, the enemy will not fight them head-on at all, just hanging them and letting the Air Force act as the main force of the offensive.

Foreign Minister Kazuo Inoue: "Ito-kun, if you want to make a breakthrough diplomatically, there are also difficulties, and it can even be said that it is impossible.

The relationship between the Empire and the Vienna government has never been better.

Although we have been working hard to repair it, Franz the Great has too much prejudice against the empire. No matter how hard we work, it is useless.

In the past years, the Austrians have troubled the Empire more than once. If we hadn't dealt with it properly, the conflict would have broken out long ago.

In addition, our hatred with Spain and Russia is also a major obstacle.

They are all important members of the Continental Alliance. It is too late to get down to the ground and it is impossible for us to retreat. "

Being able to bend and stretch is an important factor in the rise of Japan, but in the case of strongman politics, this trick will not work.

Regardless of how to be small and show goodwill, Franz just pretended not to see. Whenever there is an opportunity, I wear small shoes for Japan.

In a sense, the Japanese navy was forced to go southward simply and neatly.

There are a bunch of enemies in the Continental Alliance. If you don't mix with the British, who do you want the Japanese to mix with?

It's a pity that the British boss fell too fast, and before Japan really rose, it was getting worse.

Affected by the narrow ideology of volcanic island nations, Japanese people are particularly prone to go to extremes, even high-level government officials.

The defeat of a Malacca naval battle made the Japanese government lose confidence in the Ocean Alliance winning the war.

If you know the many member states of the Ocean Union, they are not so pessimistic. In the eyes of other member states, even if the Ocean Alliance cannot win the war, it is not difficult to end the war decently.

Everyone is not a fool, if you really lose 100%, who will continue to play with the British?

Politics is the most realistic. The first thing politicians consider is interest. Once they discover that something is impossible, the covenant is a piece of waste paper.

After a sigh, Ito Hirobumi slowly said: "It's not that serious. The first thing the Vienna government must consider is its interests.

Regardless of whether Russia and Austria are still allies, as long as the Holy Roman Empire wins the war, the situation will fundamentally change.

Without a common enemy, only interests and conflicts remain between Russia and Austria.

There are natural strategic contradictions between the world boss and the world’s second child, especially since they still have a long border, and there are even more hidden contradictions.

With the greed of the tsarist government, they never gave up any opportunity for expansion. I personally speculate that after the war, India will become the focus of conflict between Russia and Austria.

If the Russians take half of India, can the Holy Roman Empire still tolerate them taking the Far East?

Either fight a battle in person, or support the agent. As long as the Vienna government is scrupulous about taking pictures, it is impossible to attack its allies just as soon as they defeat the British.

The Far Eastern Empire was not a weapon, and it couldn't be helped. In this context, empire is their only choice.

Of course, unlike the British, the Holy Roman Empire itself is the world's first army power. The demand for the empire is not so great, and our expectations need to be lower. "

It can be seen that Ito Hirofumi's heart also has no bottom. Presumptions are always conjectures. Eastern and Western thinking patterns are different, and no one knows the Vienna government’s plans.

It is not difficult to act as a thug, and the thug who is sent to the door need not be used for nothing. The problem is that there are two types of thugs: one is raised for a long time, and the other is disposable cannon fodder.

What Japan needs is to become the former and get long-term support; not to become the latter and become a toilet paper thrown away when it runs out.

...

With the sound of a violent explosion, a raging fire ignited below, and the flame released endless enthusiasm, warming this cold winter.

But for the people of London below, I would rather not have this special warmth. Even this winter, it is extremely cold.

After many days of fighting, the British Air Force has seen through the true purpose of the Shinra Air Force and will no longer blindly launch and intercept.

In order to preserve its viable power, the British Air Force took the lead in a strategic shift and retreated to an area of ​​Scotland that the Shinra Air Force could not cover.

Without the protection of the air force, the sky of London was completely reduced to the world of the Shenra Air Force, and the bombing pattern gradually changed.

After the explosion, it can form a layer of flame that sputters around, emits a high temperature of about 1000 °C, and can stick to other objects and burn for a long time. The "napalm" quickly stood out from many bombs and became a god. Luo Air Force’s favorite.

Especially in places with severe smog like London, the flames produced after the explosion of the "napalm" can also guide the target.

The only regret is that the smoke from the building is too large, which will also affect the pilot's sight.

But these are all minor problems. Don't worry about where there is smoke. Throwing bombs where there is no smoke is also an alternative carpet bombing.

The original space-time "napalm" did not shine in World War I. The main reason was insufficient raw materials and the need to use a lot of natural rubber.

However, the production capacity of natural rubber as a strategic resource is limited, and it is still several years, and it is not possible to increase production capacity in a short time.

The production capacity is insufficient and there are many places to be used. Naturally, there is no way to use too much natural rubber to make bombs.

Now it is different. Driven by the butterfly effect, the automobile industry and the power industry have exploded ahead of schedule, and the natural rubber market has long been opened.

The Holy Roman Empire alone consumes millions of tons of natural rubber every year. Where there is a market, there is production, and the production capacity of natural rubber is also exploding.

After the war broke out, the economy shifted to wartime mode. Squeezing out tens of thousands of tons of natural rubber to make bombs is not a problem for the Holy Roman Empire.

Then, there is the current raging fire. Unlike the previous bombing that ended with a sound, the visual impact of the current raging fire is much greater.

More and more British people have become disgusted with this event. Even if Edward VII delivered a radio speech in person, calling on everyone to take up arms to defend their homeland, the voice of anti-war can not be blocked.

Especially after the Air Force gave up air defense, it was violently criticized by all sectors of society. For a while, Campbell's cabinet seemed to have become a criminal in Britain.

Campbell, after all, is not Churchill, his personal integrity is much higher and he cannot ignore public opinion.

After taking a sip of cigar smoke, Prime Minister Campbell asked: "When will the air force be able to fight again?"

"Sorry, Prime Minister. In the previous battle, the air force has hurt the vitality. In a short time, we do not have the ability to fight again."

It can be seen that Prime Minister Campbell’s expectations have dropped a lot, and he no longer requires the Air Force to defeat the enemy, but only requires "going out."

It's a pity that the reality is cruel, just such a small request, Air Secretary Attilio refused.

There is no way, now it is really impossible to fight. In the past month, the British Air Force lost thousands of fighters and killed more than 800 pilots.

Although Britain’s aviation industry is second only to the Holy Roman Empire, it is still impossible to replenish thousands of fighters within a month.

Especially the domestic factories were also heavily bombed by the enemy, which even delayed the progress.

If the aircraft is not refilled in time, the pilot replenishes more slowly. You can’t train for ten days and a half month, just send it to the battlefield, right?

Minister of the Interior Azevedo: "The political pressure is very high. The civilians are already very disgusted with the inaction of the Air Force. If we don't do something..."

"Jazz, we have already acted. Half a month ago, we air strikes Paris; last week, we air strikes Madrid; yesterday we even air strikes Norden.

The Imperial Air Force has used its greatest strength to launch a counterattack against the enemy, but this still cannot change the gap in strength between the two sides.

We need more pilots and more advanced fighters, all of which will take time. Until these problems are resolved, the Air Force should not fight a decisive battle with the enemy.

No one can guarantee that the enemy will not forcibly initiate a landing. The air force must retain a certain amount of strength to give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical moment. "

Although they are unwilling to accept it, everyone has to admit that Attilio made sense that the Royal Navy has been unable to guarantee the safety of the English Channel.

The Battle of Malacca has proved that the air force can slaughter the navy in offshore operations.

Without an air force, once the enemy initiates a forced landing, Britain would be unable to intercept it.

Once the enemy has successfully landed, there is no need to say anything, and the subsequent battles cannot be fought at all. Counting on the lobster soldiers to defend the British Isles is really hard to gain confidence.

Foreign Secretary Adam: "Don't worry too much about the pilot problem. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reached an agreement with allies.

In the next six months, 1,000 pilots will be introduced from various countries, and 300 pilots will arrive next week.

In addition, the two hundred fighters we purchased from the United States will also arrive next week.

If the performance can meet the requirements, there will be a steady stream of fighters transported from America in the future.

Although these cannot completely solve the Air Force's plight, it is still possible to relieve the pressure. "

The rare good news is that the wrinkles between everyone's foreheads finally showed signs of melting. Only the face of Asquis, the chancellor of the finance, was still gloomy and terrifying.

"It's not that simple. I don't know if you have noticed. The prices of industrial raw materials have risen again recently.

The factory undertaking the order has sent a representative to the logistics department to request the price to be renegotiated, and the report has been sent to the Ministry of Finance.

I sent someone to check, and since the war broke out, domestic prices have risen in general.

In particular, industrial raw materials related to strategic materials rose even more rapidly, and some raw materials were even out of stock.

Because of the war, the route of the Far East has been completely interrupted; the route of the Indian Ocean has also been lengthened by more than 10,000 nautical miles; although the route of the Americas has little impact, the frequency of accidents on merchant ships has increased significantly.

This is just the beginning, and there will only be more problems we will face next. The Royal Navy needs to **** merchant ships..."
