On the European battlefield, with the accession of Western Russia and Austria-Hungary, the Germans seemed to have returned to World War I, and fighting on three fronts was not a fun thing.

Even with the support of the British, the Germans were still at a disadvantage, and they had to retreat from the war to France.

The Spaniards had entered the war, and the advantages of the Holy Alliance on the European continent were too obvious, and the Franco government naturally could not resist the temptation.

The Eastern and Southern Fronts were caught between Russia and Austria, the Germans had been pinned down a large number of troops, and the Western Front encountered the Franco-Spanish forces.

Although the strength of the Spaniards is limited, a big country is a big country, and even if the combat effectiveness is discounted, the million-strong army is not muddy.

The German Prime Minister said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the first batch of reinforcements from the British has arrived, and it will not be long before reinforcements from the countries of the Pan-International Front will flock in.

This time we will not fight alone, the internal meeting of the Pan-International Front has determined that in the next six months, we can get at least 1.8 million reinforcements, and within a year, this number can be doubled!

Now I ask you to hold the line and wait for reinforcements to arrive before launching a counterattack! ”

Chief of Staff Guderian frowned and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we have done our best, since the outbreak of the world war, the supplies promised by the British have begun to be delayed.

The submarines of the Holy Alliance are ravaging the Atlantic, the British are no longer able to guarantee ocean transportation, and we will face the embarrassment of insufficient supplies for a long time to come!

Compared with the shortage of materials, the problem of insufficient troops is easy to solve, we can amend the conscription bill and adjust the age of service personnel to 17~58 years old, we can solve the urgent need! ”

Losing the battle also needs a reason, and the German army on the front line is losing and retreating, and it must not be that the enemy is too strong, and this argument is politically untenable.

Then we can only continue to find reasons, insufficient troops and insufficient materials, these two excuses are too powerful, and either one can be used to explain to the people.

Guderian's choice to use the lack of supplies as an excuse is undoubtedly very clever.

If the army is insufficient, it can continue to recruit troops, and it can always be expanded under the reckless force. Whether these newly expanded units are combat-ready or not is another matter.

Guderian was naturally aware of this problem, and he did not want to cause trouble for himself, so he focused on the supply of strategic materials.

If there is a shortage of strategic materials, the troops will naturally have no way to fight, and it will be logical to carry out a strategic transfer in this case.

The prime minister frowned and said: "General Guderian, the government is already thinking of a way to deal with the problem of materials, but it will take some time.

The big question at the moment is when our troops will be able to stabilize the main situation, we have already retreated to Belgium on the Western Front, and we can only rely on the Rhine to defend again.

The Western Russian army on the Eastern Front is attacking Poland, and we can only be beaten passively; Not to mention the southern front, where Austria-Hungary attacked our homeland directly, and there were also signs of Bulgarian troops.

If we can't stop the enemy's attack, the fire of war will soon reach our hinterland, which is very bad for us! ”

Guderian thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency, we are also very clear about this issue, the General Staff proposes to abandon Belgium, retreat to the Rhine line, and confront the French along the river.

Concentrate superior forces and give priority to the defeat of Western Russia. Their strength is the weakest, and they are the easiest to open the gap and get rid of our situation of fighting on three fronts! ”

It's easy to give up, but it's hard to do it. If nothing else, morale alone is a big problem.

Secondly, even if they defend from the west and attack from the east, they are not much sure of winning. After the loss of air supremacy, the shadow of the blitzkrieg was not seen.

British goods are not durable, and it doesn't matter if the aircraft can't win the enemy, after all, the sky belongs to Bulgaria in this era, and the Germans were hit by the air forces of Bulgaria, France, Austria-Hungary, and Western Russia at the same time.

The problem is that in terms of army weapons and equipment, the British are also lagging behind, not only are they not comparable to Bulgaria, but even Austria-Hungary and Western Russia, which are army powers, are not comparable to them.

The same weapons and equipment, produced from the German arsenals, were of much better quality than those produced by the British.

Typical piracy surpassed the original, but unfortunately the Germans had limited industrial capacity and even worse weapons research and development capabilities, so they had to rely on the British.

"General Guderian, there is no problem in retreating to the Rhine, but you must ensure that you hold the Rhine, this is our bottom line!" The prime minister said very responsibly

During this period, the German government, despite the constant infighting, was united in the external world, and lost once, and now everyone cannot afford to lose.

The current German army is at its highest morale, fighting for living space, and it can score 12 points with 10 points of combat effectiveness.

Under the condition that the weapons and equipment are slightly backward and the troops are not superior, the German army can suppress the French army, which is enough to explain the problem.

If it weren't for the participation of Austria-Hungary and Western Russia, they would still be pressing the French to fight!

It is a pity that there is no such thing as a reality, the potential of the Germans is too great, and if Bulgaria wants to sit firmly in the position of world hegemon, there can be no great power on the European continent.

On the European continent, there are only four major powers: Austria-Hungary, Western Russia, France, and Germany.

Austria-Hungary is a multi-ethnic country, and it is okay to engage in the economy with peace of mind, but if you want to develop military play and compete for hegemony, it is better to wash and sleep!

Western Russia is not much better, and Soviet Russia next door is still eyeing it, and relations with Eastern Russia are not good.

And Western Russia and Austria-Hungary are both neighbors of Bulgaria, and geopolitics has dictated that they can only farm honestly.

The French people do have great potential for development, but now they have been distorted, and they cannot stand up to the French people with the most revolutionary spirit, and once France rises, it is better to support the French people's revolution.

Only the Germans are not easy to deal with, and they are unswervingly advancing on the road of industrialization, and in recent years, the speed of industrial development in Germany has not been less than 8 percent.

……

"Your Majesty, the Germans have begun to shrink strategically, the western front has withdrawn to the Rhine line, and the southeast and southeast fronts are also defending with all their might!" Foreign Secretary Coleman said with a frown

Little Ferdinand's face sank, and the Germans cowered, the original plan to use the war on the European continent to drain the strength of the British was no longer feasible.

With the Rhine River barrier, the French will not be able to break through in the short term, and it is impossible for Western Russia and Austria-Hungary to make a desperate effort, so Bulgaria can't personally send troops to fight the Germans, right?

"The Germans have made a strategic contraction, then the next thing is to see our battle with the British!" Little Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

Prime Minister Tolsky analyzed: "Your Majesty, we have also taken into account this situation, the French and Austria-Hungary and Western Russia will definitely not be able to cooperate sincerely, and the success rate of trying to rely on them to consume the strength of the British is not high.

The most important thing now is the African theater, and once we occupy the British colony of South Africa, the situation in the Asian region will inevitably change.

We attacked India from the Persian region, Eastern Russia attacked India from Central Asia, plus the Japanese in the Far East, the British would certainly not be able to hold it.

Without these two colonies, the finances of the British Empire would collapse and the Commonwealth would have collapsed! ”

"Well, but that's not enough, it's time for us to bomb the British Isles, and the Irish Independence Organization, and it's time to get moving!" Little Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

The bombing of the British Isles has long existed, and the Germans could bomb London in history, so that the British could not even meet the supply of supplies.

Not to mention the Holy Alliance, the greatest advantage is that the Balkans are far enough away from the British Isles that the Bulgarians can bomb them with impunity, but the British cannot retaliate.

At most, they can only take out anger on the French and Spaniards, or bomb the Bulgarian colonies, which will not hurt Bulgaria's core interests.

Will the British be able to hold on? Bulgaria is not German, there are a lot of allies, and there is no need to worry about going it alone.

Now little Ferdinand has enough air force to bomb the British Isles, and the Holy Alliance also has to contribute, even if there is soy sauce, one hundred and eighty pilots will always have to come out, right?

Without contributing, on what basis to share the spoils? Bulgaria is also not charitable, and if the promised loot wants to be fulfilled, it still has to speak on the battlefield!
