1052 The Beginnings of the World War
On August 8, the war further expanded, and Stalin declared war on Lanfang on behalf of Red Russia, and at the same time sent 40 divisions and nearly 600,000 troops to attack the northern territory of Lanfang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of these forty divisions there were six panzer divisions, four of which were armed with Renault tanks produced by France during the World War, which were not supported by the French to Red Russia, but by the British.
It seems that George V's break with Red Russia because of the killing of Nicholas II's family was just a trick by the British, and the British and Russians never broke off.
This is also normal, George V has not much power left in Britain, and the British politicians are already hungry, in order to contain Lan Fang, or in order to defeat Lan Fang, the British can cooperate with the devil.
Lan Fang has always been wary of Red Russia, and Qin Zhiyuan deployed heavy troops in the Northern Xinjiang Region, led by Wuwei Hou Jin Taihe.
There is basically no suddenness in the attack launched by Russia, because of the contract signed between Lanfang and Russia, the Russians must first cross the vast Central Siberia before they can come into contact with Lanfang's army, and this process will take at least half a month, so Jin Taihe has enough time to mobilize for war.
On August 8, Lanfang declared war on Russia, and at the same time, the Lanfang Congress asked Qin Zhiyuan to return to Lanfang and organize the Lanfang military and civilians to go all out to win the war that determined the national fortune.
Qin Zhiyuan had no intention of returning to the mainland, and the reason why Qin Zhiyuan stayed in Sardinia, which had become the front line, was to wait for the decision of the French.
The French are now very entangled, in fact, as soon as Mussolini declared war on Lanfang, Pierre, who was the prime minister, and Bastien, who was the minister of war, approached Gaston Dumerg and demanded that France immediately declare war on Italy and attack Italy by land to relieve the pressure in the direction of Sardinia.
To be honest, Gaston Dumerg has no feelings for Lan Fang, and his personal relationship with Qin Zhiyuan is not very good, at least not as good as the relationship between Pierre, Bastian and Qin Zhiyuan, and even from the bottom of his heart, Gaston Dumerg is very disgusted with Lan Fang.
Lan Fang has always maintained an expansionist stance, a few years ago when Lan Fang and France had a good relationship, Lan Fang was able to maintain restraint, although Lan Fang obtained Cam Ranh Bay from the French, but it was only a commercial act, and Lan Fang used legitimate means, which made Gaston Dumerg have nothing to say.
But with the expansion of Lanfang, Lanfang's interests and the interests of France will inevitably conflict, the world is so big, it has basically been carved up by the British and the French, and when Lanfang expands to a certain extent, conflict is inevitable.
In fact, the western province of Lanfang was created from the French, and with the addition of the four islands of Comoros and what happened to Gaston Dumerg in Corsica, Gaston Dumerg definitely has reason to hate the Lanfang people.
Now let Gaston Dumerg take the initiative to relieve the pressure on Lanfang, Gaston Dumerg really can't do it.
Gaston Dumerg called Qin Zhiyuan and expressed his willingness to mediate the relationship between Lanfang and Italy, which is the maximum Gaston Dumerg can do.
After Stalin declared war on Lanfang, Pierre and Bastian went to Gaston Dumerg again and demanded that France and Lanfang maintain a united front.
Gaston Dumerg refused again, and was categorical: "Impossible, France can't stand on Lanfang's chariot, it's not in the interests of France, it's all clowns who jump out now, the protagonist always doesn't appear until the end, look at Italy, and then look at Red Russia, they can't tie one piece enough for Lanfang people to fight, so no decision can be made easily now - and so far, neither the United States nor Britain has expressed their position, and their entry will really weigh the balance of the war, If we make the wrong choice at this time, then France will be doomed - not to mention that we do not have the strength to declare war now, France has shed too much blood in the last war, and it has not yet recovered its strength, and we still need to recuperate. ”
Gaston Dumeg's reasons are indeed very sufficient, France has not yet completely quelled the Moroccan rebellion, although Bastian broke through Ajdir, the capital of the Republic of Reif, and killed Abdul Kerim, the king of the Republic of Reve, but sporadic resistance still exists in the Rif Mountains, Morocco is not completely stable, and all the mobile forces of the French army are still in Morocco.
Compared with Italy and Russia, the statements of the United States and Britain are indeed very important, although Britain contained France after the world war, it is undeniable that the cooperation between Britain and France in the last world war was basically quite pleasant, and now let the French stand against the British, Gaston Dumerg is indeed lacking in confidence.
"At this time, we must make our voices heard, if we can't help Lan Fang when they need it most, then there will be an eternal rift in the friendship between us, and it will be a rift that can never be repaired, Lan Fang's scientific and technological strength is strong, the army and air force are unique in the world, even if the British participate in the war, the British may be able to occupy a part of the advantage in the early stage with their naval superiority, but in the long run, the decisive battle still needs to be fought on land, and the British will definitely not be able to compete with the Lan Fang people on land, Even if you add the Americans, you can't - as for restoring strength, don't worry about this, we sacrificed a lot in the last world war, the British are the same, our troops are insufficient, the British are also insufficient, and Lan Fang, they have enough backup, think of the 400 million people of the Republic of China, Lan Fang has almost unlimited war potential - so don't hesitate, this is a good opportunity to repair relations with Lan Fang, if we don't grasp it, then we will definitely regret it in the future. "Pierre is anxious, Lanfang people are not only an ally for Pierre, but also Pierre's relatives, even if you don't consider Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre's personal relationship, Pierre's sister, sister, father, and mother all live in Lanfang, which is enough for Pierre to do anything for Lanfang.
Pierre and Qin Zhiyuan did have differences before, but it is normal to have differences, and in the face of major threats, Pierre is definitely willing to fight side by side with Qin Zhiyuan, just like in the last world war.
Pierre is very confident in Lan Fang, or Pierre is very confident in Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan met Pierre soon after he arrived in France, Pierre almost experienced the whole process of Qin Zhiyuan's growth from a laborer to the king of the world's powerful country, which made Pierre full of confidence in Qin Zhiyuan, no matter what the circumstances, Pierre believed that Qin Zhiyuan could become the ultimate victor.
If France does not take a position now, then Pierre is almost certain that French Indochina will never be saved.
Lan Fang is best at engaging in "national self-determination", although this is the way proposed by the Americans, but in the hands of Lan Fang, this way has really been carried forward, Lan Fang has a good mass base in French Indochina, if Lan Fang instigates "national self-determination" in French Indochina, then the result is self-evident, it must not be what the French want to see.
"Mr. President, it's time to make a decision, I have here a joint letter from forty-one generals, we unanimously ask for a declaration of war on the Italians, even if the British enter the war, we don't want to be enemies with the Lanfangs - in the last world war, we have seen the strength of the Lanfang army, and perhaps my next words will make you feel uncomfortable, but I still have to say that in the face of the Lanfang army, the French troops did not have the confidence of victory - this feeling has never been before, Even in the last world war, when the Germans were only eighty kilometers from Paris, we firmly believed that France would win the war, but now, not to mention that we have no confidence in victory, we have no desire to fight at all, if I now order to fight with Lan Fang's army, then I dare to guarantee that the tragedy of 1916 will be repeated, and if we choose to be comrades with Lan Fang, believe me, we will definitely recruit enough soldiers, in fact there is now an army assembled in Nice, all you need is an order, We can launch an attack on Italy right away. Bastian was confident, and of course this was based on the premise that France was on the side of Lanfang.
"We will not declare war on Italy, and at the same time we will not be an enemy of Lan Fang." Gaston Dumerg first blocked Bastian's words, and then shattered all Bastian's hopes: "Why are there troops assembled in Nice?" Whose order is this? Why haven't I been notified? Again, I emphasize that I am the President of France, that all orders for war must be issued from this office, that all acts of war must begin from this office, and that the army is not allowed to do anything without my orders, otherwise those responsible will surely go to court-martial--as for the tragedy of 1916, gentlemen, what is the difference between this private act and that tragedy? ”
The accusation was a bit harsh, and Bastian immediately changed his face.
Soldiers, more or less have a bit of character, Gaston Dumeg's words are tantamount to accusing Bastian of betraying France, which makes Bastian, who was already angry, unacceptable, seeing Bastian's face turned over, "dog and mother" is about to blurt out-
"Neither will we be enemies of Lan Fang, nor will we become Lan Fang's allies, you mean we will not participate in the war? That would lead to the marginalization of France, and eventually we would lose all voice, so—" Pierre spoke before Bastien, avoiding a conflict that erupted.
But halfway through Pierre's words, the door to his office was pushed open, and Gaston Dummig's secretary rushed in panting with a telegram: "The Germans - the Germans have entered the war - the Germans have declared war on Russia - the Germans have chosen to support Lanfang!" ”
Pierre and Bastien once again turned their gaze to Gaston Dumerg, with a complicated expression.
