Chapter 209：

The defeat on the frontline has exacerbated the infighting of the London government, coupled with the political scandal some time ago, Prime Minister John Russell was forced to resign.

The Whigs lost in the new general election, and the Peel and Conservatives formed a cabinet. George Hamilton-Gordon entered the arena of history.

The new government and the new weather, the most important thing for the George Hamilton-Gordon administration is the Near East War.

Retreat is not possible, which is related to Britain's international status. Now is the age of Britain and Russia. If the London government retreats at this time, it is to recognize the Russians, which is equivalent to recognizing the Russians' world supremacy.

Not to mention the terrible loss of interest and the spiritual blows that the British people cannot accept.

As the leader of the anti-war, George Hamilton Gordon understood the difficulties of John Russell, this is a war that has to be fought.

No matter how big the casualties, you have to fight. If the expansion of the Russians is not curbed now, the future cost of the British Empire will be even greater.

10 Downing Street

"You, it's our turn to clean up this mess. The situation on the Balkan battlefield is very unfavorable to us. According to the battle report sent from the front, the coalition may fail at any time.

The question now is whether we should continue to develop the second front, or the third front. George George Gordon asked

It can be seen that the heart of Prime Minister George Hamilton-Gordon is not calm, and the wrinkles in his brows have betrayed his inner anxiety.

Secretary of the Navy James Graham replied: "His Prime Minister, strategically, there is no problem in opening the second front in the Crimea.

The strength of the Russians is limited by their domestic traffic, which restricts the release of power. Because of the long-term preparations, Russian talents are capable of supporting both the Caucasus and the Balkans.

In fact, in the Balkan battlefield, the Russians were heavily dependent on Austria's logistical supplies, otherwise they would have been unable to move.

If we open up new fronts, we will soon exceed the limits of the Russians. Even if we can't completely win on the battlefield, we can consume them.

Now that the Russian Black Sea Fleet is over, we can launch an attack at any time. If necessary, we can turn all the Ukrainian coasts and the Crimean Peninsula into battlefields, leaving the Russians tired. "

The cabinet was re-elected, but the top of the government has not changed much, and the war-related Ministers of the Army and Navy have remained in office.

It is not surprising that the Secretary of the Navy supports this plan. If the second front cannot be opened, how can the importance of the Navy be reflected?

The struggle for rights is everywhere, and it is impossible to compete with the world. Although the Royal Navy has the absolute advantage and suppresses the army, they also run out from time to time to sense presence.

"It is possible to open up a second front, but the situation on the Crimean Peninsula is a bit complicated. The island's climate and the domestic gap are somewhat large. If you take the initiative to launch an offensive, non-combat reductions will be very serious.

It would be better to land on the Ukrainian coast first, cut off the Crimean Peninsula's connection with the mainland from the back, and trap the Russian army on the island. Secretary of the Army Stanley proposed

"Mr. Stanley, isn't the main force of this attack French?" Navy Secretary James Graham asked

...

The dispute over the offensive route has become a dispute over the dominance of the Army and Navy.

It turns out that there are more bull forks in the British Navy than in the Army, so the result of this battle for dominance is self-evident.

Paris

Napoleon III could not bear it for a long time, but he could not afford to lose politically in this war; he could not afford to lose in France.

Received a notice from the British, the French government made the decision as quickly as possible, sending 200,000 troops to launch the Crimean War.

After some consultations, on February 12, 1853, Britain and France reached an agreement and sent 300,000 troops together to open a second front in the Crimea.

At this time, the war on the Balkans had come to an end. Under the attack of the Russians regardless of casualties, the coalition forces were still unable to defend the Sliven area.

Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier successfully backed the Ottomans back on the surface. On the surface, it appeared that the Russians broke through the Ottoman defense and then completed the encapsulation.

Seeing that the situation was gone, on February 14, 1853, Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier ordered the French army to break through, and the prepared French army easily broke the Russian siege.

They were running smoothly, and the coalition forces were suffering. The Ottoman army should not be said. It was directly betrayed. Less than 30,000 troops ran out after the war.

The British were also shot in tragedy. They were busy reorganizing the army to restore combat effectiveness. As a result, the bears came from behind and were fleeing without a shot.

When counting the losses, Major Oliver was directly speechless. The failure of this battle was indeed irrelevant to them, but the losses on the battlefield were terrible.

Needless to say, the commander of his expeditionary force has been downgraded. He can barely be regarded as a division commander. Anyway, he has retained more than 9,000 troops, hasn't he?

The rest is broken up. Only God knows how many of these people were killed, how many were captured, and how many were lost.

Constantinople General Command

Oliver growled aggressively: "Pelissier, you **** better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise the British Empire will not give up!"

Of course, it is impossible to give up. The British Expeditionary Force suffered such a heavy loss. If there is not even one statement, how can it be explained to the country?

"General Oliver, calm down first. The position was suddenly attacked by the enemy, and we were caught in the encirclement of the enemy. We were not able to inform you at all." Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier forcibly explained

"Miscellaneous, such an excuse to fool the children! Even if the Russians break through the line of defense, they will not be able to complete the circuitous encroachment immediately. You have no time to send someone to inform you?

If it weren't for you to take us as dead ghosts, I am afraid that the French army would not be able to withdraw so completely! Major General Oliver sneered

"I'm afraid we can't blame us. The 50,000 reinforcements promised by your government should arrive twenty days ago, and there is no shadow now. If this army had not been postponed, this battle would have been impossible to lose.

Now that you have come to this stage, you can hardly blame it. It was the error message you provided that directly misled the military deployment of the coalition forces and caused this failure. Emmable Jean-Jacques Perlisier goes head-to-head

...

Who can't shake the pot? At this critical moment, the dead friend must be dead, and the Russian army can't be pursued without the rear of the coalition forces. Can the French army withdraw so completely?

If the notice is really given, the British will run away. The part of the Russian army they blocked came from the flanks, and the French army could not be wiped out.

Even if the French army hangs up, with enemy troops in front and chasing troops, it can run half of the troops, which is God's blessing.

It's much better now, but the French army only took out more than 20,000 casualties and took out the main force.

With the cover of the navy's firepower, these French troops can defend Constantinople. In the interests of the French, Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier's decision was correct.

The sequelae are quite serious. Apart from the Sardinians who have been paddling, the main force of the coalition forces on the Balkan Peninsula is the French.

The Ottoman Empire became the biggest loser and lost all his pants. After receiving the news, Abdul Mejd I was stunned.

The Ottoman government has nowhere to go, they are different from Oliver, and there is no British Empire behind them.

Now that the Balkans is the French, it is anxious that Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier will also kill people. Do you still expect the Sudanese government to succeed?

Whether they like it or not, this gangster is guilty. As long as the French keep Constantinople, the London government will acquiesce in this result.

Interests are always more important than the truth. Even if the blood is pitted, the Sudanese government has to continue to adhere to the French.

The Ottoman Empire's fiscal revenue above the seventh floor comes from the Balkan Peninsula, and most of the industry is gathered around Constantinople. (Istanbul area)

Without the Balkans, the strength of the Ottoman Empire is not comparable to that of Sweden and Belgium. This consequence cannot be sustained by the Sudanese government.

...

Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier's approach was a military success, but politically it caused endless troubles for the Paris government.

Of course, Napoleon III himself was willing to face this kind of trouble. The harm of the two is the least. International political troubles affect French interests; it is better than losing on the battlefield and shaking his own foundation of rule.

After eating a long meal and a long war, Major General Oliver now admires his predecessor's foresight very much. He now firmly opposes joint action with the French.

The London government was also dissatisfied with the French's approach and put political pressure on Napoleon III to ask them to give an explanation.

With the British taking the lead, the Ottoman Empire naturally followed suit. Under pressure from allies, Napoleon III made concessions.

On the next battlefield in the Balkans, the French army independently assumed the responsibility of blocking the Russians and guarding Constantinople; the British and Sardinians were responsible for handling Greece and Montenegro; the Ottomans suffered the most damage, and they were able to paddle their waters to appease them.

There is no doubt that this is the British who bears 50% of the bulk of the war, France and Ottoman each share 25%, and the British consortium will not provide the loan business.

The clear division of operational tasks resolved the internal contradictions of the coalition forces, and at the same time cast a shadow on the upcoming Crimean war.

...

In just over two months, the Prime Minister Felix traveled to more than 20 German states and has now come to Frankfurt, the seat of the federal parliament.

After so long diplomatic efforts, Prime Minister Felix still has something to gain. At least several free cities have declared their support for the "Holy Roman Empire."

It's no surprise that these free cities are the areas most affected by nationalism, and their governments themselves are most affected by public opinion.

The remaining states either objected or hesitated. In short, everyone is a smart person, and they are all looking for excuses to delay, and no one is stupidly opposed to the German regional unification.

The Kingdom of Prussia was not idle either, and their representatives often arrived one step ahead of Felix, communicating with governments in advance, and jointly opposing the reconstruction of the "Shen Luo".

The situation at the high level is not clear to the people. Most Germans are optimistic about peaceful reunification, and the reason is very simple-no state government has directly opposed it.

The people are free to express their opinions, but the state government is afraid to speak indiscriminately. It cannot be said that because "Shen Luo" is not reliable, unification by force can make the German regions truly merge?

Austria has been preparing for so long, Franz did not dare to raise the banner of unity of force, let alone these small state governments.

As the object of unification, it is too late to oppose it. How can it be supported? Even in order to protect their own interests, they could not block the road to rebuild Shen Luo.

In the unlikely event that reunification is inevitable, rebuilding the Shinra is the path that is in their best interest, so the attitudes of most German rulers are complex.

If you want to oppose the reconstruction of Shinra, you can't say it directly. You can only expect someone to be a bird and disrupt Austria's plan.

Up to now, the slogan "Reconstructing the God Luo" has been ringing in every corner of the German region. Every time Felix arrives, he will be warmly welcomed by the local people.

If this continues, Felix is ​​likely to be the "Father of the Sun" by future generations, and the reputation of the Butcher Prime Minister will no longer be called.

At this moment, he has become the spokesman for pacifism, and in the future, he may become a blood-stained prime minister. Anyway, Franz will not come out to grab the limelight.

Huyou is not easy, especially Huyo a group of old foxes. Felix has continuously promised various interest groups to unify the various benefits afterwards, and from time to time, we must answer everyone's questions.

Brag to the capitalists the benefits of the big market, assure the nobles that everyone's interests will not be damaged, and sell the nationalist dream to the nationalists ...

In short, one word-blowing, whether they believe it or not, or whether it can be cashed, Prime Minister Felix has been blowing it all the way.

To quote a line: "Every politician is a good salesman."

Blowing dry mouth, in fact, only brings down the resistance of everyone.

Most people still choose to be neutral, and they can accept the reconstruction of the Shinra. If they want to contribute, they will avoid talking.

Everyone is the one who does n’t see the hare and the hawk. Do n’t expect them to invest until they see the benefits.

As a result, Felix was satisfied. Originally I just wanted them to be neutral, but now I can fool some supporters, and I have already made money.

The focus of this public relations is the South German region, which is the region with the greatest influence in Austria. There are also many communities of interest. He attracts these talents is his real goal.
