Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 33, Burning Berlin

"Your Majesty, the Italians have requested to join the war. As long as the French agree to return their territory, the Kingdom of Italy can send 500,000 troops to attack Germany!" Foreign Minister Coleman said.

"Oh, this is probably one of the best jokes of the year. Tell the Italians to talk to the French about this issue. We can't be the masters of the Paris government yet!" Little Ferdinand said without hesitation

At this time, is the half a million troops of the Kingdom of Italy important?

Of course, from the perspective of quantity, this number is not small, enough to determine the direction of a war, but unfortunately, quantity does not equal combat effectiveness.

Now that the Holy Alliance is still pressing against the pan-international front, the weight of the Italians is even lighter. How can the French divide their own interests?

Even if the Bulgarian government supports Italy, nothing will work. The strength of the French is not weak. Now they can only be regarded as half younger brothers, not so obedient.

The decision made by little Ferdinand happened to be what everyone thought in their minds, and everyone understood such simple international common sense.

The grievances between the Italians and the French is a historical issue left over from the last world war. Even if Bulgaria wants to weaken the French now, it is impossible to launch a fight on this issue.

The legitimacy of most of Bulgaria's territory is determined under the Versailles system, and it is inherently a defender of interest groups.

The Italians were not very good at war, but their ability to develop the economy in peacetime was good. After the war, they just provoked conflicts with the French.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese government has made a request to join the Holy Alliance. This time they are very sincere and have set their sights on Australia and Malaysia!" Coleman added.

Whether or not the Japanese should be allowed to join the Holy Alliance is another complicated issue, and there are many reasons to consider.

"Your Majesty, if the Japanese can attack Australia, it will be very beneficial to our post-war layout. It is best to let them fight with New Zealand!" Chief of Staff Christopher thought for a while and said

There is no doubt that it is very cost-effective to add an ally in the military. If the Japanese make a move, the British will not be able to guarantee their sea power advantage.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, letting the Japanese join the Holy Alliance involves too much. We must consider the political impact and future strategic layout!" Prime Minister Tolsky said with a frown

Let the Japanese join the Holy Alliance. First of all, West Russia is a problem. Nicholas II is very vengeful. Are the scars on his head still there?

Secondly, the interests of the Dutch must also be considered. Let the Japanese enter the Nanyang region, and the Dutch Indonesia will definitely not be able to keep it. It will be a matter of time before it falls.

Even the French are unwilling to accept the Japanese. As long as they want to keep their colonies in Southeast Asia, they must suppress the Japanese ambitions.

The most important thing is that the bosses in the country don't like the Japanese. Ferdinand's anti-Japanese tendencies are very obvious, and even the Bulgarian government is also anti-Japanese.

Even now, in the era of Ferdinand Jr., this situation has not changed. There have been pro-British, pro-French, pro-German, pro-Russian, and pro-Austro-Hungarian factions in the top ranks of the Bulgarian government...

Among so many factions, only the pro-Japanese faction has not appeared, which is enough to explain the problem.

Now the Bulgarian government,

It is politically correct to want the Japanese to be thugs, flanking India in the Far East and attacking Australia in order to defeat the British at the least cost; and not wanting to accept Japan as an ally.

Everyone is caught in a tangle, persuading Ferdinand the Great to change his position?

This idea flashed away in everyone's eyes!

This kind of idea is too crazy, unless the little emperor Ferdinand himself, no one else has the guts to bring it up.

It takes courage to question a god!

At least the people in the current cabinet don't have the courage to face the greatest emperor in Bulgarian history.

"Just let the Japanese join the alliance, tell the Japanese that we can acquiesce in their actions against the British colonies!" Little Ferdinand thought for a while and said

The choice between offending Lao Tzu and offending the Japanese was something he didn't need to consider at all.

The more deified Ferdinand was, the more obvious the advantage it brought to the Bulgarian royal family. This is the source of the legitimacy of the throne, and it is destined not to be stained.

Even if it was a wrong decision, now little Ferdinand must bite the bullet and continue, and he must succeed. This is politically correct and does not need any reason.

Without the support of Bulgaria, the door of the Holy Alliance was naturally closed to the Japanese government, and the Tokyo government was in an uproar.

Then there is no more, just keep doing what you should do. On the one hand, it is to make up for the lack of resources, and on the other hand, the radicals in Japan have been out of control.

If they attack the Holy Alliance, they will have a chance to obtain most of the Southeast Asia region; if they attack the British, they will have a chance to obtain Australia and New Zealand, and even go to India for a share.

There is no way, Bulgaria is generous to others, and has no intention of honoring it, so the conditions are naturally very generous.

The British obviously couldn't give it. Although Indonesia and the Philippines were rich, it obviously couldn't satisfy their appetite.

...

Pacific Ocean

In the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy, a conspiracy is unfolding.

"Yamamoto-kun, the southward strategy must be launched, otherwise the Imperial Japanese Navy will be reduced to a transport fleet for the army's horse dung!" Tian Yuanfeng said seriously

"Mr. Tianyuan, the Bulgarians refused us to join the Holy Alliance on the grounds that the Russians objected. The strategic plan formulated in advance can no longer be implemented now!" Mr. Yamamoto said with a frown

Tian Yuanfeng said passionately: "Yamamoto-kun, this is just an explanation given by the idiots at the top for their own benefit. Don't forget that Bulgaria did not object to our southward strategy!

From a military point of view, they have no reason to oppose it at all. As long as we start a war, the shackles tied to our navy will be untied. "

That's right, once the Japanese launched an attack on the British, their crude oil supply could be restored immediately, and Bulgaria's economic blockade against them no longer existed.

It is better than now, supported by smuggling every day, the Japanese government has to bear a sky-high price that is twice the normal international oil price every day, which seriously threatens their naval development.

"What are you going to do?" Yamamoto asked, frowning.

"Yamamoto-kun, this requires your strong cooperation..." Tian Yuanfeng thought for a while and said

...

On July 12, 1940, the flames of war had reached South Africa, and the trend of the world situation became increasingly obvious.

South Africa is located in the southern hemisphere. In July, South Africa has entered the twelfth lunar month. At this moment, the temperature has dropped to minus 8°C, and some areas even reached -18°C.

Under such temperature conditions, the biggest threat in the Bulgarian African theater is no longer the enemy, but bad weather.

Fortunately, there are many Russian immigrants in Bulgaria. Under the background of national integration, through continuous marriages, they have also inherited some of the cold resistance of polar bears.

Otherwise, this war will be even more difficult to fight now, and the number of non-combat attrition is an astronomical figure.

God doesn't give face, the rest of the South African region can't be moved for the time being, so we have to stop first, otherwise the logistics supply pressure will be too great, we can't rely on all the short supplies, right?

Although Bulgaria's air force transport formation is large in scale, it cannot be done without human capacity to meet the logistical supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Looking at the battle report from the front line, little Ferdinand frowned. Now the biggest enemy has changed from the British to the bad weather.

Not only is the offensive in South Africa blocked, but the conditions in Persia are not much better. It is about to enter midsummer, and the hot summer will also hinder military operations.

"I've been blocked on the land battlefield, so it's up to the navy and air force. Are you ready?" Little Ferdinand asked with concern

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

Two voices sounded almost at the same time.

At this moment, Bulgarian submarines have been deployed to France, Spain, and the Atlantic coast of Africa, and started hunting trips.

The air force is also not to be outdone, the bombing plan has already begun, after the joint air force of the Holy Alliance.

Since July 9, a large-scale bombing strategy has been launched. Both London and Berlin have become hardest hit areas, and thousands of fighter planes drop bombs on their heads every day.

Of course, the British and Germans launched a fierce counterattack, including a series of retaliatory bombings. A series of areas such as Paris, Vienna, and St. Petersburg were bombed.

There were even German planes that ventured into the Balkans in an attempt to attack Sofia. It's a pity that this section of the road is too long. First, Bulgaria's anti-aircraft firepower fired a salvo, and then the air force quickly took off to join the battle.

Before reaching the border of Sofia, the German planes that came to attack us flamboyantly flew down the street.

Want to run away? Then there must be a way to go!

The surrounding countries are all members of the Holy Alliance. There is not even a neutral country. Except for being shot down, they can't even find the direction to run.

Naturally, the Bulgarian Air Force retaliated violently. In just one week, it dropped 25,000 tons of ammunition into the Berlin area, forcing the Germans to move.

The fire in the Berlin area has continued until now, and it can still be seen faintly. At this moment, all Germans lost their voices—Berlin is finished.

This makes many people wonder, is the disaster of World War I coming again?

The seeds of doubt have been planted and are just waiting to take root.

A German government with one heart and one mind is very terrifying. Only when their belief in victory is disintegrated, the next war will become smoother!
