Holy Roman Empire

Modern warfare is no longer confined to the field; most of the time, the game off the field is often more intense.

From the beginning of the hegemonic war, Britain fell into a passive state, but it was only limited by the war mindset and was caught off guard by the Holy Roman Empire.

For the entire war, it can only be regarded as a first-hand advantage, and cannot directly determine the final result. Just as Germany swept Europe first in World War II, and finally exited in a desperate manner.

The only difference is that the Soviet Union has not yet been born, and the American nurse is still a little girl.

The allies are not strong enough, and Britain can only stand the test alone. Fortunately, Britain is at its peak, and it is not the “weakness of the West” during World War II.

But no matter how solid the family is, it will be impacted by war. Rising prices are not a big deal. The key is that the maritime trade line is affected, resulting in insufficient domestic material supply.

In the short term, it may be supported by inventory, but the war cannot be ended in one or two days, and the inventory will be exhausted sooner or later.

There is no way, everyone's expectations of the Royal Navy are too high in advance, and the issue of trade line security has not been considered at all.

Had it not been for the capitalists to perceive the atmosphere of war ahead of time and hoard some materials, I am afraid it would not be as simple as raising prices now.

Secretary of the Navy Swinding: "The navy will **** merchant ships, but our number of warships is limited, and we have to suppress the Continental Alliance. The number of warships we can produce is limited.

In order to ensure the safety of merchant ships, it is best to let the merchant ships concentrate their operations, and we will dispatch warships to protect their safety. "

The Royal Navy's performance in the Malacca naval battle has caused a domestic uproar. Although they have repeatedly promoted the enemy's tricks, if they lose, they lose.

Compared with the Japanese Navy, the Royal Navy is fortunate. The British people at most call them rubbish, not labeling them as "national thief".

Whether it is to win this war or to remove the "trash" hat on its head, the Royal Navy must perform well in the next operations.

Performance can be attributed to performance, and the actual problems faced still need to be resolved.

Thousands of ships go in and out of the British Isles every day, and the ocean-going ships are no less than three digits. The Royal Navy cannot protect them even if they are dispatched together.

In particular, the enemy's current tactics for breaking the diplomatic ties are not decisive at all.

Those who participated in the attack were all high-speed warships. Regardless of the combat effectiveness, at least the speed is top-notch.

To deal with these enemies, ordinary warships are useless at all, and only a few warships can participate in the war.

Submarine underwater is even more troublesome. In this era without sonar detection equipment, unless it is a distance contact, it will not be found at all.

In this context, even if the merchant ships can concentrate their operations, the pressure on **** is still heavy.

Secretary of Commerce Burns: "Sir, it's only theoretically to bring merchant ships together. It's hard to come here once in a while. It's impossible to concentrate every time.

Not all commodities can be shipped at the same time, and centralized operations will seriously slow down the transportation speed.

Especially for some unpopular routes, there are not a few ships in a month, so you can't let people go once a year, right?

Our transportation resources are not unlimited, and can't stand such a waste. "

The war is cruel, and the British in the original time and space have also played the trick of centralized transportation, but the result is somewhat moving.

Except for particularly important materials, which need to be transported centrally and escorted by warships, everything else comes in quickly.

There is no way. The centralized transportation of warships and escorts does solve the safety problem, but the concentration of the fleet drags down the transportation efficiency. Some commodities that are not suitable for long-term storage are directly rotten in the warehouse.

Other issues are easy to say, but it will not affect everyone's money. Human lives are the least valuable during the war, but the sea caught up with the most profitable period of maritime trade.

As long as the profit is large enough, the risk is not a problem. There is no need to personally **** them, and the capitalists naturally don't care about taking risks.

One-third of the ships can be earned by taking an ocean route. No matter how severe the enemy's attack is, it is impossible to intercept all ships, even one in ten.

The probability of encountering an enemy attack every time you go to sea is at most a few percentage points, and you can bet on luck.

As long as you run four times without being sunk, that is blood. Even if an accident really happened, there are still insurance companies.

Of course, the insurance company is not giving it for nothing. After the war broke out, insurance premiums went up, anyway, the wool was on the sheep.

After listening to the Secretary of Commerce, Swinding waved his hand helplessly: "If the fleet cannot be concentrated, then we can only express regret.

The enemy's colonial branch was very wide, and they retracted as soon as the Royal Navy dispatched. Unless these colonies are uprooted first, the rats will not be cleaned up at all. "

Picky?

No, this is politics. Unlike the past, political slogans can be shouted casually. This is a time of war. Once the promises made cannot be fulfilled, it is equivalent to actively sending the handle to the hands of political opponents.

Don't look at everyone sitting together, it looks like grasshoppers on a rope, but there is also competition between grasshoppers.

If you really encounter a problem, everyone will throw the pot faster than anyone else. It is unrealistic to share joys and sorrows. It is a routine political operation to die in the daoists and not die in the poor.

Pulling out the enemy’s colonial ports is simple to say, but if it is implemented in concrete terms, it will not be accomplished overnight.

Britain's energy is limited, the existing colonies are barely guarded, and it is obviously difficult to open up new battlefields.

Army Secretary Marcus: "The Cape of Good Hope is already in jeopardy. The battlefield in East Africa is even more erosive. The achievements of the empire in Africa are being eaten away bit by bit by the enemy.

In Asia, the enemy launched an offensive on Persia and the Indochina Peninsula at the same time, and the enemy's ambitions against India did not hide in the slightest.

According to the intelligence gathered on the front lines, the Russians have also increased their troops to the Afghan area and may launch an offensive at any time.

The Persian government has asked us for help for the seventh time. If we don't send reinforcements, it will only be a matter of time before Persia is defeated.

Of course, we are not without counterattack. After the unremitting efforts of the Canadian Army, we have captured most of Alaska.

Because of the national policy, the army has always maintained a low force. Now the simultaneous multi-line use of troops has exceeded our limit. "

The reason is too strong, because the Royal Navy has not been able to play its due role, and now the Lobster Soldier has undertaken the main combat mission.

At the same time, five fronts were opened up, and even one of the fronts was completely victorious. This result is completely worthy of the British Empire's investment in the army.

As for the water content, there is no need to delve into it. The British government needs good news to stabilize people, and the British people also need good news.

In this context, any victory deserves much publicity.

Conquering Alaska is a good subject. More than 1.7 million square kilometers is more than the total land occupied by Britain. After offsetting each other, the British Empire still made money.

As for the difference between land and land, just ignore it. As long as it is not stated in the newspaper, how can ordinary people figure it out?

What's more, Alaska's reputation in Britain is not low at all, and there is also a "Golden State" among the people.

Therefore, the armed parade of the Canadian Legion cannot be a parade, but a great victory.

Shameless, you can also crown the "Turning War". Anyway, it is used to soothe people's hearts, and it doesn't hurt to blow some cowhide.

"Isn't the army expanded to two million? There are many colonial legions, how can it be returned..."

Before the Secretary of the Navy could finish speaking, Marcus interrupted: "Your Excellency will also take time to expand. Two million is just data on paper.

The war broke out just over a month, and there are only two or three countries in the world that can mobilize two million troops in such a short period of time, not including Britain.

The army is different from the navy. You have sufficient military expenditure and maintain a large establishment in normal times.

Just over a month ago, the Imperial Army had only 137,000. Now it has directly expanded to 2 million, which is equivalent to a fourteen-fold increase.

For this kind of expansion, we do not have enough reserves, whether it is officers or weapons and equipment.

To be more optimistic, the recruits recruited in the next two months can each get a gun, which is a remarkable achievement.

It is God's favor to be able to initially form combat effectiveness within the year. In fact, there are not many mobile forces that we can use in the short term. "

Anyone can lose the pot, the Navy does not want to take responsibility, and the Army is also unwilling to carry this scapegoat. Everyone has a good reason, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The navy cannot guarantee the smooth flow of maritime trade lines, mainly because the enemy’s colonies are there and there is no way to kill the enemy’s broken fleet.

The army is even more straightforward and sells badly when it comes directly. The expansion of the army has been expanded, but most of the recruits have not yet entered the barracks, and there is no guarantee with a single rifle. How can they be combat effective?

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional.

Prime Minister Campbell was irritated. The former factory of the world can't even guarantee a single rifle. Why is this so embarrassing?

There is no way, the size of the British Army has always been only a few hundred thousand. Even if it has a stockpile of weapons, it is amazing to reserve more than a hundred thousand guns.

Even if it was thought of expanding the army, no one expected that it would need to expand so much. In particular, there have been too many international conflicts in the past century, and most of the time the troubles ended.

According to past experience, Britain has always attacked other countries and has not been attacked by other countries, at least not in recent decades.

When the situation became tense, everyone reacted. But the time is already late, not to mention which group of parliamentarians is holding back, the production capacity alone is a big problem.

In normal years, Britain only needs a production capacity of more than a hundred or two hundred thousand guns per year to meet the needs of the local and colonial forces.

Now that the local army has expanded and the colonies have expanded, there has been a gap of five or six million rifles. How can it be filled in a short time?

During the original World War I, Britain was forced to place orders with the Americans because of its rapid expansion and the inability to keep up with its weapon production.

Needless to say now, the only difference is that the industrial capacity of the United States has not risen, and the military production capacity is not even as good as that of the British.

The military industry of the United States is not good, and the other member states of the Ocean Union, the industry is even more rubbish. In most of these countries, weapons and equipment are purely imported.

Almost all those with military production capabilities these days are nestled in the European continent, and now they are all enemies of the British Empire.

In this context, where did the British Army get so many guns? Even if it is smuggling, there is no smuggler who has so much energy.

What's more, it is not only weapons and equipment to buy, but also the follow-up ammunition.

With Britain’s military production capacity, working together for a while may not even produce the daily training bombs for millions of troops.

These problems cannot be solved, and it is a joke to ask the Army to launch a counterattack. If the situation can be stabilized, it is all open.

Looking at the world map on the wall, Prime Minister Campbell sighed deeply, and swallowed again when he reached his mouth.

...

In the Near East, with the start of the battle of the Shinra Army's attack on Persia, the Tsarist government also quietly increased its troops to the border areas.

Whether these troops are used to guard against the Persian invasion or are ready to jump out and pick peaches at a critical moment, it is still impossible to jump to conclusions.

At least Colonel Seacrest couldn't figure out what he wanted to do in the country. In the last period of time, he has repeatedly petitioned the country for war, but all have been rejected.

It is not easy for small and medium aristocrats these days. Without a prominent identity background, it is not easy for them to get ahead if they have no military merits.

Forget the Far East battlefield, it's hard work. Let alone the bad weather, the key is that there may be problems with logistics.

The most tragic thing is that the Japanese military merits should be discounted. If you win, you should be a serious crime.

Even if the government is able to measure the suffering of frontline officers and soldiers, and does not hold relevant responsibilities, the parties themselves are not embarrassed to get involved in aristocratic circles.

In this regard, you can see from the war reports sent back from the Far East that Russian officers and soldiers are really desperate.

No one likes drudgery, and Colonel Seacrest is no exception. There is also time to make meritorious deeds, not all battlefields can be mixed, it is best to find soft persimmons.

Finally, when the war of hegemony broke out, the Russian Empire joined the Continental Alliance and fought a war with the British-led Oceanic Alliance, but it was a pity that it declared no war.

In order to have a further opportunity, the Russian army is also vying for it. The Afghan front line is naturally the most popular.

Although there are many enemies, it is easy to get a record if there are many enemies. The Indian colonial army flies the British flag, and the officers are all British.

After rounding up, it's about the British army. Stepping on the shoulders of the British is really not too cool.

It is a pity that Colonel Seacrest was a bad game. Due to his identity and background, he unfortunately lost to his competitors and came to the front line of Persia.
