Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 795: Bad times

Out of the conference room, the faces of Huthier and others were gloomy. Obviously, everyone did not catch a cold about Lieutenant General Jarrett's talk.

It didn't show up at the meeting, it was they who spoke lightly. Others are lieutenants, and the highest in the Austrian delegation is not just a lieutenant colonel.

Coupled with the apparently higher level of the insurgents' greater trust in the British, directly questioning each other in public, it has no effect except to offend people.

Back in the camp, the most active Major Portiorec couldn't help it: "You said, is that guy possibly collecting French money, intentionally ..."

Lieutenant Colonel Hutil interrupted: "It's impossible! Anyway, they are also the lieutenants of the imperial empire. No matter how little they will be treason for a little money.

In fact, Lieutenant General Jerrett is not completely unreliable, at least more reliable than those of the high-ranking rebels. "

advantage?

Sorry, Hutil could not be found. The military deployment of Lieutenant General Jarrett was, in theory, no problem at all.

Everything is counted, that is, the execution ability of the rebel army is ignored.

Including the last ambush, there was no problem in theory. It was only because the fighting force of the insurgents was too garbage that the battle failed.

Good cannot be compared, it can only be worse. Although Lieutenant General Jarrett was a little bit rigid and his bureaucracy was a bit strong, it was more reliable than the high-ranking insurgents.

Major Portiorec shook his head: "I'm afraid the strong are also limited. Gerrett's combat experience is limited to suppressing colonial insurgency, not instigating colonial insurgency."

There is no way. Britain has not fought for many years. The most recent battle was still with Austria for South Africa, but it ended in failure.

After losing the battle, naturally there is no future at all. In that year, the group of military officers who participated in the battle retired, retired and changed jobs.

Now sending representatives are also tall men selected by short men. Lieutenant General Jarrett stood out after suppressing the miners' rebellion in Australia.

Fackingham laughed: "In fact, this is not bad. There is Gerrett in charge of commanding the rebels, at least to ensure that the rebels will not easily surrender.

According to the battle plan just announced, isn't our mission to attack Ugsul? Just stepped in and entered the hinterland of Egypt. "

"No easy surrender" has become a reason, and this expectation value is also speechless.

Hutil nodded: "That's it. The person who contacted us first, airdropped a batch of compressed biscuits. No one can guarantee to leave the camp and get supplies."

The first taboo of the lone army is logistics. Nearly 10,000 troops are replenished on the spot behind the enemy. Whether the collected food can fill the stomach is unknown.

...

Command of the Rebel Army, Lieutenant General Gerrett was staring at the map. Don't look at what he says lightly, in fact he doesn't have any sense at all.

Not to mention taking these gangs together, even if he was allowed to command the British Army and the French to work, Jarrett was not sure.

The French title of "the world's first army" was fought on the battlefield. The European army is a stepping stone for the French army to reach the top. Anyone who has such an enemy will be under pressure.

Mahdi asked in a deep voice: "Can General Jerret, send the Eighth Division to attack Ugsul, or not send out the Sixth Division?"

After a moment of silence, Gerret reminded cautiously: "Sir, attack is not offense.

The French had two regiments in Ugsour's garrison. If they wanted to capture it, not to mention an eighth division, even with the sixth division.

We just need to make a gesture to attract the attention of the French and take time off for the main force to rest. "

Deep down, Jarrett had a strong sense of distrust of the commanding forces of the insurgents.

If it wasn't for political reasons, he wouldn't mind being united with the Austrians.

No matter what, Hu Tier and others are also from the regular military academy, which is more reliable than the "uprising army seniors" who catch the ducks on the shelves.

Otherwise, such an important task, Jerrett would not be handed over to the Eighth Division.

Regardless of whether or not everyone's positions are opposed, the interests of Britain and Austria are the same in terms of adding chaos to France.

...

The Egyptian war began to burn, and the troubles of the London government came. The enemy did not follow the rules of the card at all and did not directly confront them. Instead, they sought out the perplexity of the Persian government.

We must know that the Persian government is willing to sign a traitorous treaty. In addition to military threats + diplomatic blackmail, there is also the British government's commitment to solve diplomatic difficulties.

In other words, the British gained Persian diplomatic power and covered the foreign affairs of the Persian Empire.

It is time for Britain to honour its promises, but the British government is powerless. The reason why the covenant is a covenant is that there is no light.

Russia and Austria pretended to be stupid, ignored the existence of the treaty directly, and asked the Persian government to sign a free trade agreement, which embarrassed the London government.

"Free trade" is a banner for Britain. As the biggest beneficiary of the free trade system, the British government cannot jump out and hinder free trade.

Hitting your own face is only a small problem. In case the free trade system breaks down, that is a big loss.

Gladstone asked: "Have the Russians stopped their small moves in Central Asia?"

Foreign Minister George shook his head: "Still the same, the Russians have no intention of converging at all. Not long ago, the Cossack cavalry ransacked a small tribe in Bukhara.

Glaston's brow frowned even more, but it didn't work. It was clearly worsening.

If the arrogance of the Russians cannot be combated, the Central Asian countries will begin to reconsider the issue of the team.

The Tsarist government is not considered a reckless husband who can only kill and kill. Although diplomatic means are lacking, they are also diplomatic.

No one can guarantee that the Russians will support the pro-Russians in power locally and take a more modest way to annex Central Asia.

Especially now that the Russian Empire is in a weak state and is not suitable for initiating war, diplomacy is even more important.

This can be seen from the power structure within the Tsarist government in recent years. The power of the foreign minister to speak in the government is increasing day by day, only to the Minister of Finance.

After hesitating for a while, Gladstone made the decision: "Showdown directly with the Russians and tell the Tsarist government:

Either stop the small movements in Central Asia and guarantee not to expand in Central Asia; or fight in Central Asia!

At the same time, he sent people to join the Trilateral Negotiations with Russia and Austria to destroy as much as possible. "

It is even more difficult to solve the Central Asian problem now, when the Russians have recovered their vitality.

By contrast, Persian interests are still a minor issue. It was essentially a temptation. It was too much hatred to swallow Persian interests alone.

...

The plan will never change quickly. Before the British intervene, the negotiations between Russia and Austria will come to an end.

On April 28, 1885, due to the diplomatic pressure imposed by Russia and Austria, and the flickering of the negotiating table, the Persian officials responsible for the negotiations stumbled and signed the "Three-Country Free Trade Agreement."

Perhaps the Persian officials involved in the negotiations were deliberately confused. Compared with the unequal content everywhere in the British and Pomeranian Treaties, the "Three Countries Free Trade Agreement" is much more harmonious.

There are not so many additional conditions. On the surface, everyone is dealing fairly and has not directly violated the sovereignty of the Persian Empire.

The Persian government is not all fools. There are also many smart people who can distinguish who is the primary enemy and who is the secondary enemy.

This Persian official who deliberately "obsessed" is much smarter than the idiot who signed the British and Pomeranian treaty.

There were no foolish people being led by Russia and Austria, directly copying the conventions of the countries in the "free trade system."

For the impenetrable Persian empire, being able to get a treaty that looks equal is already a great diplomatic victory.
