Holy Roman Empire

Franz did not immediately make a decision on the future naval development strategy, which will be said after the end of the Near East War.

However, the navy's funding for the construction of the iron armored ship was readily approved. Anyway, with the millions of shields to buy the honor of the world's first iron armored ship, the political gain alone is enough to pay for itself.

The new Holy Roman Empire has just been established, and the government needs good news to inspire. Buying a wave of national pride with millions of shields of warships is much better than doing face-saving projects.

Global cruise is not possible in a short period of time. At least an iron armored fleet is required to be able to have a shocking effect.

Franz is not a prodigal. Until the first armored ship comes out to prove its superiority, it is impossible for him to build a bunch of them all at once.

When the first generation of iron armored ships came out, the shipyard had accumulated experience, and it was easy to upgrade the technology later.

As for the performance of the early iron armored ship, Franz was not worried at all, and it would be a big upgrade in the future. It was sold to the Americans during the Civil War.

Not only Americans, but also many large international customers. Russians are a potential large customer, although they are a bit poor.

However, Franz is not worried. In the future, the Russians will flicker. To save money, the two countries will engage in naval research and development.

The French also did it before World War I, and then they pulled the Russians into the pit. Everyone else was exploding the Dreadnought. As long as their two countries did not respond, they created a bunch of warships that could be retired before serving.

Then it is even more important to win the honor of "the first iron armored ship", and the brand effect is the basis for selling a good price.

Every technological innovation is half a step ahead of others, naturally leaving the outside world with a very technical concept.

Don't assume how professional politicians are. In fact, most of these people can make decisions by slap their heads. The first thing we weigh is the interest, and the second is the impression.

As with the sale of ordinary goods, the price of products with brand bonuses will always be higher, while the products without brands can only be sold on land.

Obviously, military products cannot be sold at the price of land and goods.

The weapons that Austria sells to the Russians have not increased their prices in the international market before the war, but the net profit will not be less than 30%, and the huge profits in the arms market can be seen.

...

In the Balkans, the coalition forces naturally withdrew from the Greek kingdom since the three countries, Britain, France and Austria, reached an agreement on Greece at the Paris meeting.

There is a Principality of Montenegro next door, and they need to get it done. Oliver has no time to accompany the Greeks to continue playing. Anyway, under the principle of unification of the great powers, the Greeks have no choice.

The acceptance condition is a semi-colonial and semi-capitalist country. Under the restraint of the big powers, the Greek kingdom can also preserve its territory without worrying about the survival of the country; if it refuses the requirements of each country, it will soon become history.

When the Greeks fell on their feet, the morale of the coalition forces finally recovered. Neither the British army nor the Sardinian army took Montenegro in their eyes. Instead, the Ottoman army often fought with Montenegro, knowing that it was a hard bone.

Major Oliver was very dissatisfied with the Ottoman procrastination. No, it is Lieutenant General Oliver. He just won a battle. Naturally he was promoted, and the position of commander of the expeditionary army was obtained.

I have to once again feel the importance of the backstage. Compared with other British generals, Oliver was mixed into the position of Army Lieutenant before the age of 40, enough to shame many people.

The liaison officer Amedeo Biawati said dissatisfied: "His Commander, the Ottomans have refused our request to join the army on the grounds that the lost land needs to be cleared of the rebellion."

In his opinion, now that everyone is fighting for the Ottomans, none of their allies have dropped their chains, and the Ottoman army actually flinched.

However, he could not blame the Ottoman government because Britain and France directly killed the main force of the Ottoman army in the previous battle.

In order to appease the Ottomans, the governments of the two countries made a promise that they would not have to participate in subsequent battles.

Oliver thought for a while and said, "Forget it, a prince of Montenegro is not worth mentioning at all. It doesn't matter if Ottoman ginseng does not participate in the next battle."

In saying this, Oliver was full of confidence, and there was no loss at all in attacking the Greek British forces. With the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, there are now 65,000 people.

In contrast, how many troops do the enemy have? Even if the Principality of Montenegro was madly recruiting troops in the newly occupied area, it was a pity that it was searched by the Ottomans first, and there was little left in its youth.

Even if even the kin of the captives had been compiled, the Principality of Montenegro had barely assembled 40,000 troops, and it is unknown how much combat power it can have.

Oliver was so confident that he wanted to block the heavy siege of the gangs he had just assembled, and it was simply a dream.

Without a group of Ottoman cannon fodder, Oliver didn't care. As a high-ranking officer, Lieutenant General Oliver knew that he knew politics.

Now the London government hopes that the Ottoman Empire can maintain a certain strength and continue to help guard the Black Sea portal after the war.

The strength of the Russians had already been seen. The London government did not want to have another Near East war. They had lost confidence in the Russians.

Even if it was won on the Balkans, it was won on the Crimean Peninsula, or the Russians would be killed. They continued to attack Russia, and they could not afford to lose.

In this context, it is natural to find ways to use diplomatic means. Although the Ottoman Empire was decaying, it was precisely because of the decaying London government that they were relieved to let them guard the Golden Channel.

This requires the Sudanese government to restore its strength as soon as possible. Obviously, this is not easy. A war in the Near East came to an end and the entire Balkan Peninsula was destroyed.

Since Ottoman was unwilling to take part in the later battles, Lieutenant General Oliver couldn't force it, didn't he see the French guarding Constantinople alone?

Now the losses are so heavy, they haven't asked for allies to help. Of course, this does not rule out the French's fear of being pitted by teammates.

Big nations still need credibility. Now that they have made a commitment, they must fulfill their contract. If you break the contract three or five times, everyone will not play with you, even the British Empire cannot stand it!

Without any hesitation, Lieutenant General Oliver led the British-Israeli forces to kill the past in Albania, and the war broke out.

...

Looking at the menacing coalition forces, the Principality of Montenegro panicked. Unlike the Ottomans, they often fought, and without awe, they were still very afraid of the British Montenegro.

Small but complete.

The various departments of the Montenegro government are still complete, fully proving that they are a country, not a cottage.

Danilo I said solemnly, "Dear everyone, the development of the Near East War has now exceeded our control.

After a bit of hard work, we successfully won the Skutai Fortress, captured half of Albania, and won the estuary we dreamed of.

Behind this glorious result, we also paid a heavy price. Nearly 4,000 warriors fell on the battlefield. The war emptied our national treasury and now we owe Austria a huge foreign debt.

Strategically, we have got everything we want. The Principality of Montenegro is tired and has no strength to continue to fight.

Now let's think about how we can eat the land we have controlled. "

Apparently, Danilo I's desire to fight had been exhausted and he wanted to settle down.

There is no way. The capital of Montenegro is too small. It has seized several times the land of the native land at one time, and it has already exceeded their limits.

For other countries, the loss of 4,000 people may be a figure. For the Principality of Montenegro, this is a vital injury, and it is almost to the point of Dai Xiao at home.

Even if they knew the enemy was going to attack, now they can only passively defend. I played too much in the early stage, and put a lot of money into it. Now Danilo I dare not continue playing.

Claude Drreridge, the Prime Minister's part-time foreign minister, analyzed: "Prince, if we want to swallow the territory we occupy, it will not be possible unless the Russians can win the war.

However, judging from the current situation, the outcome of this war is still unclear.

Britain and France had the upper hand on the Crimea, but they could not defeat Russia in a short time; the Russians had an advantage on the Balkans, but they were unable to conquer Constantinople.

If the Russians lose the war, then our troubles will be great, and we will definitely be retaliated by the enemy after the war.

Relying solely on our own strength, I am afraid we cannot resist the enemy's counterattack. "

"You don't have to wait. According to the information we have received, the enemy is already on the road, or the war will break out in a week," said Mirkov, commander-in-chief and chief of army of Montenegro.

The Greek waste group had previously talked about sharing Albania with us. I did not expect that it would be so vulnerable that it would not have the ability to consume the enemy's strength.

Immediately we will face a 65,000 British-Saharan coalition attack. The gap between the enemy and us is too great, and this war has to be fought. "

Despite the resentment, Mirkov was still eager to try this. The British are rebellious, but they are not intimidated by Britain.

In order to get to the estuary and change the impoverished situation of the Principality of Montenegro, they have struggled for generations. Naturally, it is impossible to give up the benefits in hand because they are afraid of the powerful enemy.

Danilo I asked: "Is it possible to solve the problem by diplomatic means?"

As a peace activist, he really did not want to fight. The Principality of Montenegro is also unable to fight. As a small country, they can only recklessly. Now that this wave is over, it is natural to rest.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work. Although Britain and France sent people to contact us, they did not have much sincerity.

We are not only required to join the coalition and declare war on the Russians. After the war, we will also spit out most of the gains we now make. Claude Drreridge, Prime Minister's part-time foreign minister, replied

Talking about conditions also depends on strength. No matter how dazzling the Montenegrin army is on the battlefield, it cannot hide the fact that they have insufficient strength. Without strength, it is naturally impossible for Britain and France to pay a large price.

What's more, it costs a price to jump back. The Russians are not soft persimmons. The situation on the battlefield is just a stalemate, and there has not been a victory or defeat. If the wrong team stops, it is really over.
