Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 92, the wolf smoke rises

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? On April 18, 1926, after half a month of debate, the British Parliament finally passed the Persian region and Afghanistan region battle decision.

In this respect, Churchill has made great contributions. If he hadn't persuaded members of Congress with his three-inch tongue, perhaps two or three years of arguing might not have yielded results.

From 1923, the anti-war ideology broke out in the United Kingdom, and it reached its peak in 1926. The people opposed all foreign military actions.

Fortunately, the opponents at least two small countries this time did not attract the attention of the people, so that the resolution could be passed so smoothly.

Of course, in terms of territorial area, Persia is really not small at all. The area of ​​the Pahlavi Dynasty is larger than the five British Isles combined.

However, in terms of strength, they are a downright small country. As a semi-colonial country, what strength is there at all?

Everyone knows that this is just a trivial local war, and it is even said that if Bulgaria exists, the British Empire only needs military threats to force the Pahlavi Dynasty to compromise.

Now Ferdinand intends to turn the war into a quagmire for the British. On May 1, 1926, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry protested to the Pahlavi dynasty, demanding that they hand over the Bulgarian criminals they had harboured.

Of course, the Pahlavi Dynasty could not be handed over. From 1918 to the present, the number of criminals who have fled from Bulgaria to the Persian region has not been 100,000 or 80,000. How can we find them in this era?

If no one can be handed over, the Pahlavi Dynasty will be in big trouble. The well-prepared Bulgarians have produced evidence that from 1918 to the present, terrorists who have traveled from Persia to Iraq to cause chaos almost every year.

The Bulgarian government has reasons to believe that this is a terrorist activity supported by the Pahlavi Dynasty behind the scenes, and ordered the Pahlavi Dynasty to hand over all participants within 24 hours, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk.

On the same day, the British Governor's Office in India also issued a note to the Pahlavi Dynasty asking them to thoroughly investigate anti-British activities, arrest all anti-British personnel, and hand them over to the British within 24 hours, otherwise prepare for war!

The Pahlavi Dynasty said that they were wronged and that these matters had nothing to do with them. You must know that they just overthrew the old king in 1925 and established a new regime.

How can things that started in 1918 have anything to do with them? Even if someone supports terrorist activities, it is impossible for the government to participate. The previous government was timid, how could it take the initiative to provoke Bulgaria?

Not to mention the government, no one even dares to participate in the planning of terrorist acts even from non-governmental organizations. For those who are linked to these matters, grass has already grown on their graves.

Bulgaria's strength in the Persian region is not small. Even if it is an anti-guarantee element, the highest pursuit is to expel the Bulgarian forces, but no one is arrogant enough to counterattack Bulgaria!

Engage in anti-British activities, what the hell is this, although they are really thinking in their hearts, isn't it too late to implement it?

At most, there are a few young students shouting slogans, but there is no concrete action. They have just gained power, and they are too late to fight, how can they have the heart to do things!

In the age of imperialism, the truth doesn't matter, as long as the powers think they did it, that's what they did!

The Pahlavi Dynasty knew that the trouble was big, and the only gratifying thing was that Afghanistan next door also enjoyed the same treatment. Anyway, having an ally can share the pressure.

It is a pity that this is destined to not change the result. No one thinks that the Pahlavi Dynasty can resist the north-south attack of the British and Bulgarian countries. Unless they can activate the aura of the protagonist and become immune to all attacks, they will be ready to die!

Not to mention them, no country in the world can fight against the British and Bulgarian at the same time, so the result of the war is already doomed.

On May 3, 1926, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared the Pahlavi dynasty,

Engaged in activities in support of the division of Bulgarian territory and formally declared war on the Pahlavi dynasty.

On the same day, the British Empire also declared war on the Pahlavi Dynasty on the grounds that they were engaged in anti-British activities, and the Middle East War broke out.

As the protagonist of the war, the Pahlavi Dynasty is undoubtedly a tragedy. This time it is really not that our army is not working hard, but that the enemy is too powerful.

Less than a month after the start of the war, the Bulgarian army was killed outside the city of Tehran, showing the world what is really overwhelming!

To use troops in the Persian region, the Bulgarian government did not mobilize domestically at all, and the Middle East theater did it by itself. A total of three main divisions, plus two local militia divisions, formed a force of 80,000 people to kill the past. .

Don't worry, there are not many troops in this group. The Pahlavi Dynasty was beaten as soon as the war broke out. Hundreds of planes roared from the sky, and armored vehicles and tanks on the ground advanced directly. Let them experience what modern warfare is.

The result is naturally self-evident. The Pahlavi army, which did not even have a rifle, was naturally collapsed at the touch of a button.

Don't say it is now, even if it was not until 1930, it was beaten by tens of thousands of British troops and finally fell into a protectorate.

Compared with the smooth progress of the armed parade in Bulgaria, the performance of the British was much worse. The British colonial divisions were temporarily recruited to India, and their combat effectiveness was also in line with their status.

When Bulgaria conquered Tehran, they were still in the province of Stan-Baluchistan.

There is nothing surprising about this, as the so-called cheap is not good, and good is not cheap. Since the British have chosen cheap goods, naturally they cannot count on this combat effectiveness.

As a colonial army, their equipment was still before the First World War. Aircraft and tanks were too extravagant. It was enough to have machine guns and cannons. Anyway, the enemy's equipment was even worse.

This is also because the British were too arrogant to start the Persian war and the Afghan war at the same time. If all 300,000 troops were invested in the Persian war, it would be impossible to beat Kerman now.

Originally, it was good to take 54 degrees east longitude as the dividing line, and the two sides divided the Persian area equally. Now since the British are so unqualified, it is no wonder that Ferdinand took more.

Anyway, the central region is the buffer zone between the two sides. There is no clear division of spheres of influence. If you grab it first, you will definitely take advantage of it in the end.

This is also a bargain. The Pahlavi Dynasty has just abolished the original king and established a new dynasty. There are still a lot of things in the country that have not been sorted out. capabilities are not yet available.

"Your Majesty, the British sent us a diplomatic note protesting our failure to comply with the "Draft for the Partition of the Persian Territory!" Metev said.

"Have we violated the rules, why didn't I know?" Ferdinand asked in surprise

"Your Majesty, we have not violated the regulations. As an ally, the British Empire has been unable to resolve the resistance organizations in the Persian region. We have to do our ally's obligation to help them!" Metev replied solemnly.

"Well, just write back to the British like this. We will abide by the treaty we signed at the beginning, and urge them to end the war as soon as possible. A long-term war is the biggest enemy of world peace!" Ferdinand said righteously. say

"Yes!" Metev replied

"Order the Middle East Theater Command, and now it's as much as it can occupy. After this village, there is no such store!" Ferdinand added.

The war broke out very suddenly, and the British did not have time to buy off the enemy. If they were given a few years, with the influence of the British in the Persian region, it is estimated that the troops who directly defected would be one by one.

"Yes!" replied the chief of staff

This war is really not worth mentioning. The strength of the two sides is not on the same level at all. Ending this war as soon as possible, and then watching the British jump into the pit of Afghanistan is the kingly way!

Now the British can't get out of it, once they give up Afghanistan, the Bulgarian influence will extend in and threaten their precious India.

Based on the performance of the Bulgarian army on the Persian battlefield, the London government dared not bet that Bulgaria could not win the Afghanistan region. For the sake of India's security, they had to bite the bullet.

Ferdinand's requirements are not high, and it is enough to reproduce the results of the Anglo-Boer War.

Presumably after this battle, the anti-war forces in the UK will further grow, and then they will never be pulled back.

A world hegemon who is afraid of war will no longer be a threat. Dig a few more holes and let them jump, and they can almost expose their weak nature.

That's right, from the beginning to the end, Ferdinand never thought of going head-to-head with the British Empire. The reason is very simple, Bulgaria's means of pulling allies, and it will never catch up with the British.

This is determined by geographical location. Many countries dare to offend Bulgaria, because everyone is far apart, and they can ignore Bulgaria's retaliation.

It is impossible to face the British. The naval bases all over the world will be attacked immediately once they are confronted. It is self-evident who to choose in the face of reality.

Geographically, who are the allies that might support Bulgaria? It is nothing more than the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire. At most, it can win over Italy. This is determined by geopolitics.

And they were all forcibly tied to the chariot, everyone was too close, they had no choice!

On the other hand, there are too many potential allies of the British, and Ferdinand is incomparable in this regard.

This has a premise that the British Empire has always been so strong that once their weak nature is exposed, these allies will become their enemies.

This is Ferdinand's consistent strategy, first gradually disintegrating the enemy's allies, isolating the enemy, and then pulling the allies to attack the enemy.

Judging from the trajectory of Bulgaria's rise, at any time, they have no shortage of allies, and they have never been isolated by the international community!

When dealing with Serbia, the Russian Empire was an ally of Bulgaria, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was lured over and became a potential ally in secret. Then Serbia suffered a tragedy and was divided between Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary.

When dealing with the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire was an ally of Bulgaria, the Balkan Alliance was an ally of Bulgaria, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was also a potential ally.

In the first Balkan War, the Ottoman Empire fell into blood mold and was besieged to death by the Balkan Alliance.

During the Second Balkan War, Ferdinand also pitted the Ottoman Empire first, making them public enemies.

Then he hugged the Allies' thighs, and then lured the potential enemy of the Balkan Alliance into the pit, and then the war pushed them into the great pit of the Allies.

As soon as the world war broke out, Ferdinand nailed the potential enemy of Italy to the chariot of the Allies. When the world war ended, all the enemies around Bulgaria disappeared.

Even the teammates suffered five labors and seven injuries, lost the strength to threaten Bulgaria, and turned from a potential enemy to a real ally.

Then Britain, France and Paul stand together again, dominate Paris and will rule the world.

Using the battle for world hegemony between the United Kingdom and the United States, behind the scenes, and using the pandemic as an excuse, the Americans have become the target of public criticism.

Then he cheered the British, made them muster up their courage, and took the world coalition to overthrow the biggest threat of the United States. Before everyone could react, Bulgaria was iodine again.

In the midst of a series of chaos, Bulgaria has already gained enough interests, but at the same time it is still hidden in the dark, and the interests that have not been exposed will not become the target of public criticism!

Now there is only one last enemy left. As long as the British Empire collapses or declines, there will be no enemy that can threaten Bulgaria.

Even the current British Empire, the threat to Bulgaria is very limited in essence, unless they can build another world's first army!

It is a pity that the layout of this series is basically a conspiracy. On the surface, it is really impossible to see Ferdinand's sinister intentions, or some smart people have seen it. In the face of interests, they still chose to jump into the pit!

In theory, as long as the strength of the British Empire is sufficient, Ferdinand can only make wedding dresses for them, making the British Empire's position of world hegemony more consolidated!

The British people in this era are full of confidence. They don't think that a mere Afghanistan can cause them much trouble. What they see is the huge benefits that can be brought by mastering the center of this Eurasian continent!

"Your Majesty, are we really going to compete with the British for Afghanistan?" Metev asked hesitantly.

"Of course not, I just want to put pressure on the British, make them look like they are eyeing the Afghan region, and make them impatient! As long as people are in a hurry, it is easy to make wrong judgments!

War is the easiest to consume national strength. When the London government makes the wrong decision, their war machine cannot stop.

If the Afghan region is defeated, they will also hurt their vitality. If the Afghan region cannot be defeated, then the British Empire's position of world hegemony will be crumbling!

Don't you think it's a game of chess that's fun to play?

No matter what the final result is, the British people's energy has been contained in the Afghanistan area for a short time, and we can get a period of stable development again! ' asked Ferdinand

"Your Majesty, all of this is based on the premise that Afghanistan has the strength to resist the British invasion. At least they must be able to withstand the first wave of the British attack, otherwise our efforts will be wasted!" Metev frowned. Say

"Yes, but what have we really paid? Except for an armed parade, we actually didn't invest too much resources in it, and it doesn't matter if we lose it!" Ferdinand said calmly

For Ferdinand's perseverance in digging holes, everyone can only admire them.

Digging a pit all the way, and now the British have actually reached the most dangerous moment, and under the cover of the prosperity on the surface, the British do not know anything about it!

Not long after the three North American countries joined the British Commonwealth, they lacked enough national centripetal force. When the British Empire was strong, they were members of the British Commonwealth. Once the British Empire declined, they would inevitably move towards independence.

These three kingdoms are only less than 10% of English descent, not even the number of Irish descendants. Don't expect them to have a strong centripetal force on the British Empire.

The native Irish, crying and clamoring for independence, were only temporarily suppressed, and the outbreak only needed a fuse.

In the vast colonies, with the spread of revolutionary ideas, there should not be too many people who want to rebel against the British Empire. They are waiting for a suitable opportunity.

In this context, the London government has lost its military spirit again. Once an accident occurs, it is tantamount to expect the British Army to turn things around!

Coupled with the popularity of anti-war ideology, the enthusiasm of the British people to join the army has dropped to the lowest point in history. If these hidden dangers are really ignited, it will be difficult for the London government to mobilize the army to counter the rebellion.

The Royal Navy is still invincible in the world, so you can't expect warships to go on land to suppress uprisings, right?

Now what Bulgaria has to do is to detonate these contradictions, and the war in Afghanistan is only one of the leads. There are still many explosive packs buried by Ferdinand for the British!
