War is not something that can be fought, and even if it is ready, as long as Bulgaria does not want to bear the charge of provoking war, then it must find a convincing reason.

It's not so easy to make a case that most people are convinced of.

For example, if a soldier is missing, or a shipwreck, this kind of excuse that has been used by people is obviously no longer useful.

"Your Majesty, we don't have to provide a pretext for war, we can be dragged into the water!" Foreign Secretary Coleman proposed

"How did you get dragged into the water? Neither Austria-Hungary nor Western Russia wants to fight now, they will not take the initiative to bring it up! Little Ferdinand said with a frown

"Your Majesty, aren't there still Frenchmen? As long as we reveal an alliance with them, there is a pretext for war, and they will gladly provide it to us! Coleman said with a smile

Little Ferdinand nodded thoughtfully, no matter what the pretext for war was, as long as it was not artificially created by the Bulgarians.

In case the future is debunked, then there are also people who top the tank, anyway, the battle has already been fought, as the so-called water is difficult to collect, in addition to ripping the skin, everyone should do what to do!

……

Paris

President Albert Lebrun breathed a sigh of relief that the Bulgarians were finally willing to strike.

It's also embarrassing to say that as the nominal number one army power in the world, it actually failed to win against the Germans, who had just recovered.

The tactical command capability of the French Army is already behind this era, and its understanding of armored forces is still stuck in World War I, and it has suffered a big loss just after fighting the Germans.

Fortunately, they still learned a lot in the First World War, such as the defensive tactics of Bulgaria back then, and a large number of civilians were temporarily recruited to dig a large number of trenches and lay out more than a dozen lines of defense.

Although the temporary defense line was not very strong, the purpose of delaying time was achieved.

The essence of Blitzkrieg is one word - fast!

When the offensive is delayed, the power of the armored forces is not so great, and it is already the sky that dominates this era.

The sequelae of the weakening of science and technology appeared, the Germans did not gain air supremacy, and once the armored forces were blocked from attacking, they became live targets, and after suffering losses, the German armored forces naturally did not abandon their anti-aircraft firepower and rushed forward.

The French Army also did not have the ability to defeat the Germans, and the war fell into a stalemate.

This stalemate was undoubtedly unacceptable to the French, and in terms of the will to fight, the French soldiers could not compare with the German soldiers at all.

"Marshal Pétain, what will be the military consequences if we drag Britain and Bulgaria into war at the same time?" Albert Lebrun asked with concern

"Your Excellency, from the standpoint of the Army, my personal judgment is that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

The British, who supported the Germans in an open fire and blockaded the Atlantic coast, were already doomed to the enemy.

However, their army is now only more than 400,000, and these troops are stationed in the mainland of no more than 100,000, and they have a quarter of them deployed in Sicily, and Egypt has 60,000 men, all to defend Bulgaria.

As soon as Bulgaria enters the war, these forces will be taken care of and we don't need to worry about it.

The greatest advantage for us is that the Germans will once again be locked in a state of three-front warfare, and Austria-Hungary and Western Russia will hold back their large forces.

With the current strength of the Germans, they simply cannot support such a war, and in half a year at most, we can defeat the Germans. Marshal Petain analyzed

Needless to say, the Navy was transferred on this. The advantage of the Royal Navy is still obvious, and the combined navies of the three countries can only be equal to them.

If there is a fight, most of them will suffer. However, the probability of this happening is very low, and it is impossible for either side to concentrate all their navies and play stud.

There is no problem for France and France to join forces to defend the Mediterranean. Once Germany is defeated, Europe will be integrated, and the British will not have anything to play.

The English Channel is too narrow, and it is not impossible for the coalition forces to land at any cost.

The gap in the naval strength of the two sides is not so great, and the British are destined to hold only one of the two exits in the Mediterranean, and losing either of them will be fatal.

"Well, I need your cooperation to convince those old men in Congress to declare war on Britain!" Albert Lebrun said fiercely

"Your Excellency, there is no problem with declaring war on the British, but how can you guarantee that the Bulgarians will enter the war right away? Wouldn't it be miserable if they put us together? Petain asked with concern

"After the declaration of war on the British, we will send the air force to bomb the army, and in the style of the British, they will definitely retaliate, and then they will blow up the Bulgarian embassy exactly!" Albert Lebrun said coldly

This was a pretext for Bulgaria that his staff had carefully designed for Bulgaria to go to war, and anyway, as long as the British Air Force came to London, it was not up to them.

Even if they don't fry it, the French Air Force will do it for them, and they can't carry this pot without it.

He was also not afraid of the Bulgarian tricks, and without the cooperation of the French, Bulgaria would have paid a much greater price if it wanted to defeat the British alone.

Anyway, the British had a lot of money, and after the war, the Bulgarians ate meat, and they were able to drink soup, which was enough to make up for their losses on the battlefield.

"Your Excellency, do not forget the Japanese in the Far East, they are eyeing our Vietnamese colonies, and in the event of a new world war, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop their ambitions!" Prime Minister Daladier reminded

"If you can't hold it, give up, if necessary, you can also lure the Japanese to make a move on the Nanyang region, as long as they move, after the end of the European war, it will be their end!" Albert Lebrun said with a sneer

The Nanyang region is fertile and rich in resources, and it is also the world's main natural rubber producing area.

It's a pity that they are all lords, and they can't eat it at all.

Now that the Japanese government has been kidnapped by the army, the top government officials know that it cannot be moved, but the middle and lower ranks of officers and soldiers do not.

The French government has been operating in the Far East for more than 100 years, and it is not one or two in Japan. Now that the Netherlands have fallen, it is not difficult to lure them into doing something to the Dutch colonies.

As long as it enters the South Seas, it will not be something that the Japanese government can control.

None of the old powers was a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Japanese had not yet acted, and the French were already arranging a way back for them.

……

London

Mr. Churchill was not idle, and the countries of the Americas basically fell to them, and if it were not for the strength of the Eastern European Union, they would have to bring their own dry rations into battle.

"Your Excellency, it's not good that the French declared war on us two hours ago on the grounds that we support the Germans!" Attlee said with a frown

You don't have to think about it to know that there is something wrong with this, if the French had the courage to declare war on them, they would have done it a few months ago, and there is no need to wait until now.

"Oops, the Bulgarians must have discovered our actions in the Americas and allied themselves with the French, otherwise the Gallic chickens would not dare to declare war on us at this time!" Churchill said with a frown

The declaration of war by the French had obviously disrupted their disposition, and the countries of the Americas, which had supported them, would certainly hesitate again.

Everyone is not stupid, the reason why they follow the British is for the sake of profit.

The Anglo-French war broke out, the Eastern European Alliance plus France, could Britain and Germany withstand it?

This is a big question mark, everyone knows that the British do not attach importance to the army, and at this time on the European continent almost the Germans fought alone, Austria, Western Russia, and Bulgaria.

What's the odds? Anyway, they can't see that if they want to help the British at this time, they will have to send the army to the European continent to work hard.

They have not forgotten the cruelty of the First World War, and millions of casualties have been lost, and these small countries cannot afford to play!

"Woo!"

Before Churchill could think of countermeasures, the air defense sirens sounded, and it was clear that the French were doing something and did not take them into account in the slightest!

"What's going on outside?" Churchill asked with concern

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, enter the bomb shelter, the French plane is coming!" The attendant said hurriedly

……

The French planes came and went as quickly as they could, and as soon as they entered London and dropped their bombs, they left, completely unconcerned about the so-called bombing targets.

Sudden bombing, the British were blindfolded, and the war broke out like this?

"Where is the anti-aircraft fire? And what is our Air Force doing? Why not intercept? Mr. Churchill roared

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we have intercepted and shot down a French plane!" The Minister of the Air Force replied

"Why let the enemy into London?" Churchill said unconvincedly

"Your Excellency, please correct that it was not we who let the enemy into London. The enemy came so suddenly, we were not prepared at all.

Moreover, even if we are prepared, it is impossible to guarantee that the enemy will be completely intercepted, and under the current technical conditions, this is impossible to do!

We have done our duty, it is the government that is responsible for this, and someone must be held accountable for this sudden war! The Minister of Air Force said with great dissatisfaction

"Humph! Your Excellency, this question is not something you should be concerned about, please remember that soldiers should not get involved in politics!

Now what you have to do is to find a way to prevent this from happening, and to take revenge on me as soon as possible, the people need an explanation! Churchill roared

His methods of ascending to power are somewhat disgraceful, and the military has never bought his account much, if it weren't for the lack of choice, he would have let these people get out.

However, after experiencing the war in Southeast Asia, he has already understood that the war still has to be commanded by professionals, and a rash change will only make the situation worse!

……

On March 2, 1940, the French government declared war on Britain, and the French air force attacked London, and in the afternoon, the London government also declared war on the French, and the Nth Anglo-French War broke out.

The people who eat melons are in an uproar, and many people who don't know the truth are throwing themselves to the ground for the five bodies admired by the French, and this courage is not something ordinary people can have.

At dawn on March 3, the British Royal Air Force assembled hundreds of bombers and appeared over Paris to bomb a number of strategic targets.

The French, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally could not let them leave unharmed, and Paris was no more convenient than London by the sea.

This is the interior of France, and the French Air Force has time to intercept it, and when the British and French Air Forces are fighting, the Luftwaffe also comes over to join in the fun.

However, this is the French mainland, even if they are one enemy and two enemies, they still have an advantage in the number of aircraft, and they cannot see that the British and German air forces can retreat decisively.

Looking at the damage report in his hand, President Albert Lebrun smiled triumphantly.

Although in today's battle, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, and other landmarks were badly damaged, with more than 500 casualties and billions of francs in economic losses.

The Bulgarian embassy in France was also reduced to rubble in the bombing, and dozens of staff members, including the ambassador to France, were seriously injured, and seven of them died on the spot.

This is a very bad diplomatic incident, and it is not clear whether it was blown up by the British or by the Germans.

Anyway they were allies, whoever dropped the bomb was the same, and the pretext for war that the Bulgarians needed appeared.

Sofia

As soon as the embassy was bombed, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a sternly worded diplomatic note to Britain and Germany, ordering them to hand over the murderers within 24 hours.

The question is who is this murderer?

The British are confused, the Germans are confused, and the melon-eating masses are even more confused!

Proof?

The only evidence is that the British and German air forces both attacked Paris, it wasn't the bombs they dropped, it couldn't be the bombs dropped by the French themselves, right?

Buildings like the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral, the French demolition team dared to blast them?

Unfortunately, the Bulgarian embassy in France is less than 200 meters from the Louvre, and the entire area has been bombed, and it is reasonable that the possibility of the French directing and acting on their own is infinitely zero.

"Your Majesty, both Britain and Germany have rejected our request, they think it was just an accident and there is no so-called murderer!" Coleman said angrily

"Humph! This must not be counted like this, we must take revenge! Little Ferdinand said with a feigned anger

"Your Majesty, since they can bomb our embassy by mistake, we can also bomb them by mistake, why don't we conduct a military exercise and blow up the Mediterranean Fleet by the way!" Chief of Staff Coleman said with a sneer

"Well, release the news from now on, we are going to conduct a week-long military exercise in the Mediterranean, all personnel and ships, please leave, otherwise you will bear the consequences of accidents!" Ferdinand Jr. said

If this kind of thing happened, if there was no retaliation, would it still be the Bulgarian style?

Ferdinand Jr. was very keen to see if the British could bear it when thousands of bombers swept through Sicily.

Isn't it just a mistake?

Who wouldn't?

I can also get lost in the foggy plane, and with one careful step, Sicily will be carpet-bombed.

Shameless, who's afraid of whom?

Anyway, they just need a pretext for war, and it's enough for now, and if it's a bit far-fetched to declare war for this, it's not too much for me to retaliate once, right?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not enough, our colonial troops can also move, it is better to take South Africa together!

And the Middle East, it's time to take Egypt, and the gateway to the Mediterranean is in our hands! Christophe suggested
