Switzerland is a country made up of Germans who don't want to be Germans, French people who don't want to be French, and Italians who don't want to be Italians.

So they can only be permanently neutral, and their relationship with the three surrounding neighbors is very average, and there is an occasional wave of tension.

Now the contradictions between them and Italy have intensified, and the cause is naturally the internal contradictions of the Italians, which have risen from small contradictions between two people to the question of national dignity.

However, the Swiss government still has a strong executive power, and quickly locked down the parties that caused the conflict of public opinion, and took control of the situation.

"Mr. Luca, could you please elaborate on the situation?"

"Yes, Mr. Luke! But I really don't blame me for this matter, he provoked it first, and I did it roughly! Luca explained

"Mr. Luca, I believe that this time it doesn't matter what you do, it's just that the Italian media is exaggerating, and isn't the domestic media also supporting you?" Luke said with a slight smile

……

"Okay, Mr. Luca is basically sure that you are just a victim in this matter, but before the matter is over, it may still trouble you!" Luke explained

"Yes, Mr. Luke!"

……

As the investigation deepened, the Swiss government naturally found artificial clues, and it was obvious that someone was manipulating public opinion.

The Swiss federal government reacted quickly, traced it down to Italy, and then it was gone.

The Kingdom of Italy was also arrogant, and although they were half-defeated in World War I, their nationalism is now on the rise again.

At this point, no matter whether or not there are people to guide public opinion, they will not be able to make concessions, and this is a matter of national self-confidence.

Interfering with the Swiss investigations, but still sending people to investigate themselves, created an opportunity for Bulgarian intelligence officers.

In this era, it was difficult to monitor the movement of people, and before the Italian government could react, the intelligence officers who discovered something wrong had already left Italy.

However, the matter is not over, and the Bulgarian intelligence agency in Switzerland has also surfaced, but in the absence of evidence, the Swiss government only protested privately.

"Your Majesty, our intelligence agents in Switzerland have been exposed, and our intelligence organizations in Italy have entered the incubation period!" Intelligence Leader Wiki said with a grim face

Little Ferdinand frowned, he didn't expect that this small activity would expose the Bulgarian intelligence organization.

Soon he was relieved that Switzerland had never been the focus of the Bulgarian intelligence services, and that there was very little investment except for a limited number of people.

With too few resources invested, the intelligence agencies naturally have no way to build a network, and now with a sudden order, they can only go into battle shirtless.

If it is left in Britain or Germany, the protective layer of intelligence organizations is three layers inside and three layers outside, and many intelligence officers do not know who they are working for.

There are even those who pretend to be other national intelligence organizations and infiltrate the local area, and in addition to the high-level, the intelligence officers below have been deceived from the beginning.

"I'll let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handle it, I don't want this to happen a second time!" Little Ferdinand said with a gloomy face

Fortunately, it's Switzerland, even if it's exposed, Bulgaria can shut them up, and everyone will be stupid and stunned.

If something goes wrong with the British intelligence organization, now the embassy will go to the prison to collect people, and if you want to get people out, you will have to pay a terrible price.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wiki replied

The plan could not keep up with the rapid changes, and the news leaked, so the conflict between Switzerland and Italy would soon end, and the resulting changes in the international situation would require little Ferdinand to deal with the aftermath.

Of course, this is only a minor nuisance, and it is impossible for the Swiss government to make the news public, otherwise their status as a neutral country will cease to exist.

As a country caught in the middle of Germany, Austria, Italy and France, they had no choice but neutrality.

If it weren't for their unimportant geographical location and lack of resources, they wouldn't be able to be neutral, as you can refer to Belgium.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this time we can let the French take the blame, in addition to our provoking the conflict between Switzerland and Italy, the French intelligence organization is also involved!" Wiki proposed

Is it hard to do this?

In fact, it is not difficult at all, and the most important thing now is not who provokes the contradictions between the two countries, but who they need to secretly provoke the contradictions!

For the Swiss, it's best to make the big things small and the small things small!

As a neutral country, the only way to survive is to participate in the contradictions between the major powers.

For Italy, again, it was different, an excellent excuse that could be used to strike at the enemy.

Both Bulgaria and France are their enemies, there is no doubt about it, the choice needs to be made on who to strike first.

"Well, got it, you don't need to worry about this problem!" Little Ferdinand said lightly

Obviously, this is his dissatisfaction with the intelligence services, and these things are beyond their purview.

What country does not have an intelligence organization? What if it's exposed? These problems cannot be put on the surface at all, otherwise in two days, a group of spies will be caught by the Bulgarian police.

Then, everyone began to fight with each other until the end of the matter.

Little Ferdinand doesn't know how many such cases he has seen, in Ferdinand's words: pull the enemy to the same level as himself, and then use his familiar experience to defeat the enemy!

Usually this happens in politician elections, where everyone goes to the bottom of each other's throats, and in the end the people can only choose one of the bad things and think they are in a good position.

In addition to the problems in the back, it is also logical, it is rotten in the first place, how can you have expectations?

This is a worse era, there is no such thing as perfection, as long as others are worse than you, you win.

The most typical example is the current Polish battlefield, where the German army is in frequent situations along the way, and there are often fights, and the officers cannot find all their troops.

But it doesn't matter, the Polish army on the opposite side is even worse, and often by the time the commander's order reaches the front-line troops, the German army has already come over.

Orders are always one step slower than reality, and this is more deadly than the confusion of command of the German army.

The command system can also be said to be a problem of running in troops, and it is acceptable that an army is suddenly formed and that there is poor coordination between various troops.

What is even more pitiful is logistics, the battle has only started, and the situation of late arrival of materials has occurred frequently, and the speed of the front-line troops is too fast, but the speed of transportation in the rear has not been able to keep up.

The Germans did not dare to fight too fast, and if they were not good, they would go hungry, and the situation of receiving the wrong supplies also happened from time to time.

It is said that good flour has become potatoes, and what was originally canned beef suddenly becomes canned vegetables, and this kind of thing does not happen too much.

Historically, the Germans also had logistical problems in the early wars, and carried out deepening reforms, and the problems that occurred in the middle and later periods were gradually reduced.

Generally speaking, the logistics of the German army never really met the needs of the front-line troops, which was very prominent in the Battle of Stalingrad and the African theater.

This problem is not as simple as it seems, not only because the logistics department does not work hard, but also because the domestic supply of materials is insufficient, and the east wall is often demolished to make up for the west wall.

Coupled with the Supreme Command, the chaotic strategy, without taking into account the actual situation, it is difficult to think of problems in logistics.

London

At the headquarters of the League of Nations, a hearing was underway on the German invasion of Poland.

The vast majority of countries hoped that the League of Nations would intervene in the war.

This is the European continent, not the Far East, and the Germans do not have the geographical advantage of Japan and do not dare to refuse the resolution of the League of Nations now.

Unfortunately, the result was disappointing, and the British recognized the legitimacy of the military action taken by the German government, naturally on the grounds that the Poles had died themselves.

Of course, the support of the British was not enough, even for the entire Western European Union, to legitimize the League of Nations.

But if you add West Russia and Austria-Hungary, it is enough, you can only say it and mix it, you always have to pay it back, and now the Poles are paying for the previous foreign policy.

The Germans reached an agreement with Austria-Hungary and Western Russia, Bulgaria chose silence, and the new Polish kingdom was sacrificed.

Although the French were making a show for the Poles, there was nothing they could do. Who allowed the Poles to go too far and give the Germans a pretext for war, and the League of Nations recognized the legitimacy of German military action?

However, Germany's desire to annex the new Kingdom of Poland was opposed by various countries, and it was obvious that this was everyone's bottom line, and even the British did not support them.

The de facto military occupation was only one step away from the formal annexation of Poland.

"Father, the French have withdrawn from the League of Nations, and it seems that they still haven't put down their shelves, and they can't even help losing their voice in the alliance!" Ferdinand Jr. complained

"In that case, let's get ready to quit too!

As soon as the war broke out, it would have become awkward to remain in the League of Nations, and what would happen in the future, who knows? Ferdinand said with a sigh

In any case, the existence of the League of Nations has indeed played a vital role in maintaining world peace.

From 1923 to 1937, there was no major war in the world, and the League of Nations was a great contributor.

Now, because of the changes in the international situation, the founding countries of the League of Nations have a conflict of interest, and this organization has come to an end.

The French are now prominent, the Japanese left even more so as early as 1937, and if Bulgaria withdraws from the Union again, then the League of Nations will become a real reality.

"Father, aren't you optimistic about the current international situation?" Little Ferdinand asked with concern

"Nope! The current international situation is very powerful for us, even if we fail to provoke the contradictions between Italy and Switzerland, but the Franco-German war is inevitable!

The French are too arrogant, they are not willing to become a second-rate country, but in fact, with their strength, they can only become a second-rate country, and not living up to the name means disaster!

Judging by the current situation, if the French are not able to win over Spain, they will soon be in a tragedy.

The Swiss will certainly continue to remain neutral this time, Belgium issued a declaration of neutrality as early as 1936, and the French have practically no allies except for Poland, which is about to finish. Ferdinand said with a smile

"Father, how do I think there is a problem with the Belgians' declaration of neutrality, do they think that the Germans will let them go because of this declaration?" Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously

"This is up to the Belgian government, even if they give up the territory they occupied in Germany in World War I, and the Germans want to attack France, borrowing from Belgium is still the best option.

When the time comes, they will still have to make a choice, either agree to join the German side by the passage; Either join forces with France and deny the passage of German troops.

The geographical position dictates that they have to choose between Germany and France, and the declaration of neutrality, except to tie their own hands and feet, actually has no effect! Ferdinand said helplessly

He completely does not understand the approach of the Belgian government, not everyone can be neutral, especially if he is caught in the middle of a big country, he must make a choice.

Even if you want to be neutral, then learn from Switzerland and arm yourself to keep your enemies off.

You must know that when countries are expanding their armaments, Switzerland is also preparing for war, but it is not what later generations of intellectuals said, neutral countries can reduce military spending.

If you don't have the strength, who cares if you're a neutral country or not?

If a declaration can solve the problem, then what else is the army for?

"Father, is there anything in the Swiss Confederation that wants our support, and it seems that they also feel threatened and unwilling to give up their status as neutrals?

Under normal circumstances, Germany and Italy would not attack Switzerland now, but why would Switzerland be upset? Ferdinand Jr. asked suspiciously

"You have as much information in your hands as I do, and there are a large number of think tanks, where do you analyze every day, you can't find it, and I can't find it!

However, from a psychological point of view, the Swiss are still very reasonable to be worried, and being wary of their neighbors is the most natural choice.

If France falls to the Western European Union in the future, Switzerland will be finished, and Germany, France and Italy will join forces to carve up Switzerland.

The idea of the Swiss is just a small problem, you notice that the German army did not, their combat effectiveness was quickly restored! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

"It's really a quick recovery, it's only been a few years, and we've almost caught up, even if it's a gap with us, this gap is not irreparable.

If the Italian army also had such strength, even only half of the combat strength of the German army, they would have the strength to fight the French.

With the addition of the British, the chances of victory for the French are now very slim, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the French.

However, France is anti-war again, and they do not know that the more they oppose the war, the greater the chance of war breaking out.

If France had not been anti-war, perhaps Germany would still be torn apart and might have become an independent country with the intervention of the French government! Little Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

"Well, a reminder to the French, speed up the pace of the war. Italy is almost unable to hold out, and now they have not made a move against Switzerland, then they will attack France by the end of the year at the latest!

Of course, it is also possible to attack Austria-Hungary or us, but the chances of this are very small, and the Italians will not be so stupid! Ferdinand said with a sneer

There is no worst, only worse!

Strategically, Poland, France, and Belgium are neck and neck, all rotten to the point that the Poles have already paid the price, and now it is about to be their turn.

Belgium, automatically ignored by Ferdinand, their strategy is that there is no strategy, and the goal is very clear: I don't fight you, you can't come and fight me!

The strategy of the French is equal to no strategy, the government is changing too fast, there is no way to implement it, they are busy with infighting, and naturally there is less time to care about the outside world.

The strategy of the new Kingdom of Poland, that is, the mythical version of the strategy! The Poles have always wanted to restore to the territory of the Kingdom of Poland to its peak, and are still working on it.

Obviously, this strategy was born at an inopportune time, advanced to more than a hundred years ago, and perhaps there was still a possibility of success, and now they want to realize this strategy no easier than becoming a world hegemon!

"Father, I'm afraid this is very difficult, even if I remind them, I don't know who to turn to?" Little Ferdinand said helplessly

There is no way, the French president + prime minister has become the representative of the main war faction, and anti-war is still prevalent in France, if nothing else, it will not be long before the French government will be replaced.

To be precise, the domestic cabinet has been replaced, but Prime Minister Daladier has been re-elected and has not yet stepped down.

And that's not all, the French prime minister has also set a record of seven terms, certainly not re-elected, and the shortest term was less than a week.

Faced with this situation, Ferdinand could only nod helplessly and watch the French continue to wave.
