"Your Majesty, the Italians have made a request to enter the war, and as long as the French agree to return their territory, the Kingdom of Italy can send half a million troops to attack Germany!" Foreign Secretary Coleman spoke

"Oh, this is probably one of the best jokes of the year, tell the Italians to talk to the French about it, we can't be the masters of the government of Paris!" Little Ferdinand said without hesitation

Was the 500,000 army of the Kingdom of Italy important at this time?

Of course, in terms of quantity, this number is not small, enough to determine the direction of a war, but unfortunately the number is not equal to the combat effectiveness.

Now that the Holy Alliance is still fighting against the pan-international front, the weight of the Italians is even lighter, how can the French divide their own interests?

Even if the Bulgarian government supports Italy, it will not work, the strength of the French is not weak, and now they can only be regarded as half a little brother, and they are not so obedient.

The decision made by little Ferdinand is exactly what everyone thinks, and everyone still understands such simple international common sense.

The grievances between the Italians and the French, which were a historical legacy of the last world war, could not be challenged by Bulgaria now, even if it wanted to weaken the French.

Most of Bulgaria's legitimacy was determined under the Versailles system, and it was inherently the defender of interest groups.

The Italians did not fight the war very well, but their ability to develop the economy in peacetime was still good, and after the war it was just to provoke contradictions between them and the French.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese government has made a request to join the Holy Alliance, and this time they are very sincere and have their sights set on Australia and Malaysia!" Coleman added

Whether or not to allow the Japanese to join the Holy Alliance is another complicated issue, and there are many reasons to consider.

"Your Majesty, if the Japanese can attack Australia, it will be very beneficial to our post-war layout, it is better for them to fight with New Zealand!" Chief of Staff Christophe thought for a moment and said

There is no doubt that it is very cost-effective to add an ally militarily, and if the Japanese make a move, the British will not be able to guarantee sea superiority.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it is too broad to let the Japanese join the Holy Alliance, we must consider the political influence, as well as the future strategic layout!" Prime Minister Tolsky said with a frown

Let the Japanese join the Holy Alliance, first of all, it is a trouble on the side of West Russia, Nicholas II is very vindictive, and the scar on his head is still there?

Secondly, the interests of the Dutch must also be considered, and if the Japanese are allowed to enter the Nanyang region, Indonesia of the Dutch will definitely not be able to be saved, and it will be a matter of time before it falls.

Even the French were reluctant to accept the Japanese, and as long as they wanted to keep their colonies in Southeast Asia, they had to suppress their ambitions.

The most important thing is that the boss in the country does not like the Japanese, and Ferdinand's anti-Japanese tendencies are very obvious, even with the Bulgarian government.

Even now, in the era of Ferdinand the Younger, this situation has not changed, and there have been pro-British, pro-French, pro-German, pro-Russian, and pro-Austro-Hungarian factions in the top echelons of the Bulgarian government......

Among so many factions, only the pro-Japanese faction has never appeared, which is enough to explain the problem.

Now the Bulgarian government wants the Japanese to be the thugs, to flank India and attack Australia in the Far East, so as to defeat the British at the lowest cost; And they don't want to accept Japan as an ally, which is politically correct.

Everyone is in a quandangle, convincing Ferdinand the Great to change his position?

This thought flashed away in everyone's eyes!

Such an idea is too crazy, unless the little Ferdinand, the emperor, himself comes up, no one else has the courage to bring it up.

It takes courage to question a God!

At least the current cabinet members do not have the courage to face the greatest emperor in Bulgarian history, and they can't do it without cowardice.

"Just let the Japanese join the alliance, tell the Japanese that we can acquiesce to their actions against the British colonies!" Little Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

Choosing between offending Lao Tzu and offending the Japanese, this question does not need to be considered by him at all.

The more Ferdinand deified, the more obvious the advantages he brought to the Bulgarian royal family, which was the source of the legitimacy of the throne and was destined not to be stained.

Even if it was a wrong decision, now Ferdinand Jr. must continue and succeed, which is politically correct and does not need any reason.

Without Bulgaria's support, the doors of the Holy Alliance were naturally closed to the Japanese government, and the Tokyo government was in an uproar.

And then there is no then, just do what you have to do. On the one hand, it is to make up for the lack of resources, and on the other hand, the radical faction in Japan is no longer under control.

If they attack the Holy Alliance, they have a chance to gain most of the South Seas; Attack the British, and they have a chance to get Australia and New Zealand, and even go to India for a piece of the pie.

There is no way, Bulgaria is being generous to others, and it has no intention of honoring it, and the conditions are naturally very generous.

Obviously, the British could not give it, and although Indonesia and the Philippines were rich, this obviously could not satisfy their appetite.

……

Pacific Ocean

In the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy, a conspiracy is unfolding.

"Yamamoto-kun, the southward strategy must be launched, otherwise the Imperial Japanese Navy will be reduced to a transport fleet of army manure!" Tian Fengyi said solemnly

"Tian Yuanjun, the Bulgarians refused us to join the Holy Alliance on the grounds of the Russians' opposition, and the strategic plan that was formulated in advance is now impossible to implement!" Yamamoto said with a frown

Tian Fengyi said passionately: "Yamamoto-kun, this is just an explanation given by the top group of fools for their own interests, don't forget that Bulgaria has no objection to our southward strategy!"

From a military point of view, they have no reason to oppose it at all, as soon as we provoke a war, the shackles that bind us to the Navy will be untied. ”

True, as soon as the Japanese launched an attack on the British, their crude oil supply could be restored immediately, and the economic blockade of Bulgaria against them ceased to exist.

It is better than now, supported by smuggling every day, and the Japanese government has to bear a sky-high price higher than the normal international oil price every day, which seriously threatens the development of their navy.

"What are you going to do?" Muramo Yamamoto asked with a frown

"Yamamoto-kun, this requires your strong cooperation......" Tian Yuan Feng said after thinking about it

……

On July 12, 1940, the flames of war had reached South Africa, and the trend of the world situation became more and more obvious.

South Africa is located in the southern hemisphere, and in July South Africa has entered the cold winter wax moon, and the temperature has dropped to minus 8 °C, and in some areas even reached -18 °C.

In such temperature conditions, the biggest threat to the Bulgarian African theater of operations is no longer the enemy, but bad weather.

Fortunately, there are many Russian immigrants in Bulgaria, and in the context of ethnic integration, through continuous marriages, they have also inherited a little bit of polar bear's ability to resist cold.

Otherwise, this war will be even more difficult to fight now, and the non-combat attrition alone is an astronomical amount.

God doesn't give face, the rest of South Africa can't be moved for the time being, so I have to stop it first, otherwise the logistical supply pressure is too great, and we can't all rely on the empty supplies, right?

Although the Bulgarian air force transport formation is large, it has to meet the logistical supply of hundreds of thousands of troops, which cannot be completed by human capacity.

Looking at the battle report on the front line, little Ferdinand's brows tightened, and now the biggest enemy has changed from the British to bad weather.

Not only is the offensive in South Africa blocked, but the conditions in Persia are not much better, and it is about to enter the height of summer, and the hot summer will also hinder military operations.

"Blocked on the land battlefield, the next thing is up to the navy and air force, are you ready?" Little Ferdinand asked with concern

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

Two voices, almost at the same time.

At this moment, Bulgarian submarines have been deployed to France, Spain, and the Atlantic coast of Africa to embark on a hunting trip.

And the Air Force was not to be outdone, and the bombing program had already begun, after uniting the Air Force of the Holy Alliance.

Since 9 July, a major bombing strategy has begun, with London and Berlin being hit hard, with thousands of warplanes dropping bombs on their heads every day.

Of course, the British and Germans launched a fierce counterattack, including a series of retaliatory bombings, including Paris, Vienna, St. Petersburg and a series of other areas.

There were even German planes that ventured into the Balkans in an attempt to sneak up on Sofia. Unfortunately, this section of the road was too long, first with a salvo of Bulgarian anti-aircraft fire, and then the air force quickly took to the skies to enter the battle.

Before they reached the border of Sofia, the German planes that came to sneak attack were gorgeously hitting the streets.

Want to run? There has to be a way out!

The surrounding countries are all members of the Holy Alliance, not even a neutral country, and they can't even find the direction of their escape except for being shot down.

Naturally, the Bulgarian Air Force retaliated violently, and in just one week, 25,000 tons of ammunition were dropped on the Berlin area, forcing the Germans to move.

The fires in the Berlin area continue to this day, and they can still be faintly seen, and at this moment, all the Germans lost their voices - Berlin is finished.

This makes many people wonder if the disaster of World War I is going to strike again?

The seeds of doubt have been planted, just waiting to take root and sprout.

A united German government is very terrifying, and only by dismantling their belief in victory will the next war become smoother!
