Chapter 1272 Ukraine - Transcaucasia 2
And this situation is exactly what the prince or Deo wants to see! "If the situation in the country really reaches the point where it is necessary to use thunder means, it is also beneficial to transfer some of the troops stationed in Ukraine back. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" said the prince in his heart.
This place is so big that most of Ukraine plus the lower Volga region went out independently. It covers an area of more than 700,000 square kilometers, and even with the size of the Bavarian Army and the Bohemian Army, it is very expensive to completely control it, of course, sometimes there are some problems, the White Army and the Red Army need food, both need population, and when there is not enough, they will fight the idea of this place. What is the saying? For conquered regions, the benefits cannot be given all at once, but the disasters must be all together! Only then will the newborn Ukraine abandon its illusions about the USSR!
The future Ukraine should be an important source of resources, a commodity market, and a staunch ally of Germany and Austria, and a bridgehead against the USSR! The status and significance are very significant, so Ukraine cannot be weak. (What?) What if you say Ukraine is too strong? Combined with history, it seems that this statement is not true! Considering the national problem and the weak industrial base, it is very difficult for Ukraine to be truly strong enough to make Germany and Austria jealous! )
After the end of the war, the prince, who had almost completed the farming technology, needed to let the Ukrainians solve the most basic problems of survival, and he needed to give new hope to the Cossacks and the old Ukrainian nobility on his side. The country needs to be built step by step, and it's a mutually beneficial relationship. Perhaps in the near future, the German-Austrian alliance system will become the German-Austrian-Ukrainian Triple Alliance system, and Ukraine's position in the future may be even more important than Turkey's! Of course, the prince admits that he also wants to give the countess and their common descendants a good future!
And then there's the Caucasus problem! O Caucasus! It's a mountainous area, but to be honest, it's really nice and very important! The Caucasus is at the junction of Eurasia, with the Black Sea to the west and the Caspian Sea to the east. Europe to the north and Asia Minor to the south! Next to Turkey and later Iran! The only way to get in and out of the oil pole of the Middle East!
And then talk about the problem of resources, not to mention anything else, simply the Baku oil field, and the close Caspian oil and gas field is the reason why Germany and Austria can't let go! This TM is so important! Historically, Russia in World War II produced more than 20 million tons of oil a year, and it relied on this! With this, if Germany fights 2 more wars, there will be no need to engage in synthetic gasoline! There is ready-made oil, why do you spend so much energy?!
As for the rest? Lead, zinc, tungsten and other metal minerals in the North Caucasus, as well as magnetite, coal mines, copper mines, etc. in the Transcaucasia are all necessary for the rise of Germany, and these resources must not be abandoned! In some Transcaucasian regions, the mineral resources of Germany and Austria are basically complete, forming a complete internal industrial system, and there are no obvious shortcomings. (Not to mention rare earth ores, this thing is lacking except for TG and US imperialism) Therefore, this place will definitely become a direct control area of Germany and Austria, and from the current point of view, the probability of being called the control area of Austria-Hungary will be greater!
To be honest, the Inner and Outer Caucasus together is not small. There are 440,000 ordinary kilometers of land, and the population here is also quite large, and the ethnic issues are more complicated, the religious issues are also more complicated, and the people are fierce and aggressive, and what can be solved with fists is absolutely not ...... to be solved. Even during the Soviet period, all kinds of contradictions never stopped, for example, the Chechens in World War 2 also helped the German army, and then after the war they also moved away on a larger scale than Stalin. Of course, some were moved back later as a move to de-escalate the conflict, but what was the result? Look at the ...... of the two Chechen wars after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
For here? To be honest, the prince doesn't have a good way either, the situation here is even worse than in Ukraine! If it weren't for the abundant resources here, then the prince wouldn't care if there would be a river of blood here! But because of these resources, no matter how difficult it is, the prince can at least ensure that the mines and factories here can operate normally! This is the bottom line, there is a dirt between your ethnic and religious groups. I don't care about all kinds of small-scale infighting, but if anyone affects production, then wait to be smashed to pieces by the iron fist of the army!
You can form a so-called republic, but as long as you don't become independent, this is actually the Soviet Union's approach to some ethnic groups in the region, such as the Republic of Ingushetia in Russia today, and the union republics of Azerbaijan and Georgia in the Soviet Union. If you want to live a good life, you can follow the prince, and if you want to be more independent, you can also do it. But you can't have a bad life yourself, and you can't let others have a bad life, then you have to clean it up.
"I hope the Russians will clean up the local ethnic problems before retreating, and by the way, the Turks!" The prince did not think maliciously that there is a choice when there is contrast, and there are others who hurt, so that they can see the benefits under the prince's rule! Well, that's all!
Whether it is Ukraine or the Caucasus, it is a long process to want long-term peace and stability in both places. In addition to the right way and method, the most fundamental thing is to ensure that Deao has always been at the peak of his strength! Otherwise, other countries can rise up as soon as they are instigated. For details, you can refer to the later Soviet ....... As for how the instigated people lived after the country gained independence? That's not what the demagogues want to do. Specifically, you can refer to the Ukraine of later generations.
By the way, there is also the problem of Romania, which is also rich in resources. It is the largest oil field in Western Europe and the fourth largest grain exporter in Europe. But the prince did not attach much importance to this, first of all, the first problem was that Romania itself was a relatively pure mono-ethnic state, and even more depressed was that the Romanians were not only in the Kingdom of Romania, but also in Transylvania within the Kingdom of Hungary. Not to mention that Romania is an enemy of Germany, even if it is a friend of Germany, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapses, the prince must try to burst the vitality of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as much as possible. Therefore, this relatively acute national issue, the prince must deal with it well.
And the current plan is to give part of Romanian territory to Bulgaria, Bulgaria is an ally of Germany after all, and it is still appropriate to obtain some benefits, weaken Romania, and thus weaken its national character, and at the same time improve the treatment of Romanians, Austria rules the Czechs mainly with Huairou, and Hungary rules the Romanians, which is somewhat violent.......
