Chapter 122, Opening up a New Front

The final result, of course, was not what Wallicot expected. Although the British and French allied forces now have an absolute advantage in strength, a large number of people may not necessarily win the battle! &1t;/p>

The battle on the western front has once again reached a stalemate. The British and French allied forces have a large number of troops, and the Germans have strong combat effectiveness. &1t;/p>

In order to break this situation, Britain and France naturally turned their attention to other places. Their first reaction was to fool the Russians. As long as Russia is willing to work hard, the Allies will definitely bear the third-front war. &1t;/p>

It's a pity that the tsarist government has just had an internal struggle, and Nicholas II is busy with the aftermath? No matter how Britain and France flicker, it is impossible to use foreign troops on a large scale before the internal struggle of the Russians is over! &1t;/p>

Then they turned their attention to the southern front, and found that the two sides were fighting in full swing, and it was impossible to tell the winner in a short time! &1t;/p>

Walikote's sudden proposal naturally attracted the attention of the British and French governments. After some calculation, they found that although they are now fighting the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as long as Austro-Hungary is over, can the Germans hold on? &1t;/p>

As a result, Wallicot ushered in unexpected gains. Britain and France decided to increase their troops by 100,000 to cooperate with him. In order to maintain the dominance of the war, Wallicot had to ask for help from home again. &1t;/p>

...&1t;/p>

"General Wallicot is now requesting support, what is the plan of the General Staff?" Ferdinand asked&1t;/p>

Acting Chief of Staff Klossoff replied confidently: "Your Majesty, we plan to draw eight infantry divisions and two heavy artillery brigades from the newly formed volunteer army to form a reinforcement force with a total strength of about 140,000. The establishment of an airport in northern Italy threatens Austria and the Munich region of Germany!" &1t;/p>

Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction. The plan of the staff department is still very reliable. Now there are about 170,000 troops in the hands of Walicott that can be invested in the Austrian Raiders, plus the 200,000 troops reinforced by Britain and France. , Now the country has sent another 140,000 troops, and the total strength has reached 510,000. &1t;/p>

This is enough to start a medium-scale battle. You must know that Britain and France did not use the colonial troops to make up the numbers this time. In order to break the deadlock as soon as possible, they also paid for it. They are all elite troops directly drawn from the Western Front! &1t;/p>

Of course, this is because they now have sufficient troops on the western front. Even if there are as many as 300,000 to 400,000 casualties per month, they can still shout, and there is no pressure at all to take out a mere 200,000 troops! &1t;/p>

Ferdinand knew that the Allies were about to struggle again. Facing the menacing Allied forces of more than 500,000 troops, where should they deploy their troops to deal with them? &1t;/p>

Opening up a front is not a simple problem. Apart from the army, the most important thing is the consumption of supplies! This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Allies! &1t;/p>

Adding another Italian front, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely not be able to yell, and the Germans will also be very uncomfortable. Maybe they can find a way to collect the army, but the strategic materials will be in big trouble! &1t;/p>

Of course, this is something that Hindenburg should consider, and it has little to do with him. &1t;/p>

...&1t;/p>

After contemplating for a while, Ferdinand said with deep emotion: "Well, let's do this, this world war has been going on for too long,

It has also had a very big impact on our domestic economy. It is not a bad thing for us to end this war as soon as possible! "&1t;/p>

It is of course a good thing for Bulgaria to end the war as soon as possible. After all, basically everything that should be obtained now is in hand, and those that have not yet been obtained can also be traded after the war. &1t;/p>

At the same time, this war also successfully weakened the competitors, such as Italy and Austria-Hungary, two suffering brothers, most likely to be removed from the powers after the war. &1t;/p>

Britain, France and Russia have also been hit hard to varying degrees. Everyone will lick their wounds in the next twenty years, and they will no longer be able to continue to suppress Bulgaria's development! &1t;/p>

After eating and drinking enough, the enemy is dead, so naturally there is no need to continue fighting! &1t;/p>

If the fight continues, it is estimated that the Americans will jump out to pick peaches. Once this war cannot be won in the short term, the Americans will definitely not refuse to join the war, Britain and France, and they will have to pay a high price to win them over. &1t;/p>

The cake is only this big, if there is one more person to share, the others will naturally only get one less share, which is obviously not something Ferdinand can bear. &1t;/p>

As for the rumors passed down in later generations, the Americans were put together by Britain and France and did not benefit from the First World War. This is just taking it out to fool ordinary people. Anyway, Ferdinand would not believe it! &1t;/p>

Standing in his current position, he realized how amazing the Americans gained in World War I. Even the combined gains of Britain and France were less than half of theirs! &1t;/p>

First of all, through this war, the Americans increased the centralization of power. Before the outbreak of World War I, although the federal system of the United States was not a mess, it was actually not much better. &1t;/p>

But after the end of the First World War, the United States was really integrated, the influence of the federal government on the local area increased, and domestic capitalists also realized the power of unity, and the centripetal force of the country was greatly enhanced, eliminating the possibility of national division. , The road to American hegemony began to set sail. &1t;/p>

Secondly, it has established the status of the United States as a major country in the military. Especially in the Washington Conference, the United States has achieved the world's largest naval tonnage equal to that of the British. Standing on the shoulders of the British, the international influence has been greatly improved! &1t;/p>

Finally, it is the economic benefits. Not only has it gotten rid of the control of the domestic economy by European capital, but it has also changed from a debtor country to a creditor country, and it has completed the penetration of the European continent through economic means, which is also a great contribution to the Second World War. The outbreak of the Great War planted the seeds. &1t;/p>

Compared with these gains, the gains of the Americans in the colonies are indeed nothing, but even if all the colonies of the Allied countries are added up, they cannot be compared with the foundation of laying the foundation for world hegemony! &1t;/p>

It is these benefits hidden in the dark that are the reason why Ferdinand did everything possible to prevent the Americans from participating in the war. &1t;/p>

In any case, as long as the Americans do not participate in this world war, the U.S. government will not be able to crazily increase its investment in the military as it has in history, at least it will not be able to pass the hurdle of Congress! &1t;/p>

Without the crazy investment in the military, it would be impossible for the United States to achieve an equal status to the British after the war, and even the international status would not be greatly improved. This can be regarded as comprehensively restricting the development of the United States. &1t;/p>

It not only curbs the improvement of Americans' hard power, but also hits the improvement of their soft power. After the war, they will face the full suppression of the British. Anyway, there will be a lot of excitement in the future! &1t;/p>

Who told them to expand their navy now, it's almost like eating dumplings. After the world war is over, their navy's total tonnage will probably be about the same as that of John Bull. Strike the second has always been a great national policy! &1t;/p>

Historically, after the end of World War I, Britain and the United States almost fought over the Canadian issue, but in the end there was a little accident, and John Bull had no choice but to make concessions. &1t;/p>

Not to mention this time and space, John Bull's strength has been more fully preserved, and there is support from the two countries of France and France. There is no need for them to admit cowardice to the Americans! &1t;/p>
