(Chapter 1 arrives, there will be chapter 1 later)
"I think we don't care about them at all. Anyway, there is no possibility of real peace between us and Austria and Russia. Rather than temporarily truce and let them have time to recover their strength, it is better to continue the war to the end. Anyway, Austria has now We are absolutely weak, and our four legions can destroy Austria as soon as possible, and then continue to attack eastward, attack southern Russia, and coordinate with the troops stationed in Poland to try to eliminate Russia." Dugel expressed his opinion. In his view, there is absolutely no need to pay attention to Austria and Russia's willingness to seek peace when they are in an advantage.
"Marshal Dougal, I have to remind you of one very important thing, that is, the intensity of the war consumption has completely exceeded our previous expectations. Up to now, the war has only been going on for a month, but it has already consumed us. With 30% of the strategic reserves, we still have to prepare for landing operations in the UK. The consequence of that is that we cannot guarantee the supply of materials on the Eastern Front. Moreover, the Eastern Front is very long now, which makes our later support very difficult. We need a period of time to strengthen the supply line, so the east will not be able to break out large-scale wars for a period of time in the future." Logistics Minister Luo Di said. The progress of the war was too fast, completely beyond people's expectations, and brought great difficulties to the logistics support work.
"How could this kind of problem happen? We have been preparing for this war for more than 10 years!" Dougal complained. This is really a pity. If the logistics support can keep up, then the war on the Eastern Front may develop better.
"Hehe. Marshal, it's not our logistics department's fault. How could the empire's army be so powerful?" Rody joked.
Everyone also laughed. So far, the battle has gone very smoothly.
"Everyone, now we are actually facing a choice, whether to attack Britain or attack Austria and Russia. Our logistical support limits our attack plan, and we can only choose one of the two." Xiao Jie said with a smile. For such a result, he was also very helpless. Although the logistics department is already overloaded, it still cannot meet the high-intensity consumption of the front line.
This question is very difficult to answer, because if you choose to attack one target, the remaining one will recover its strength quickly, which will be very unfavorable for future wars.
"Your Majesty, I think we should attack Britain first. Most of the previous wars between France and other European countries were initiated by Britain. If we eliminate Britain, then we will completely resolve the threat from the west and concentrate on Moreover, without the aid of Britain, the strength of Austria and Russia will be greatly reduced. Although we choose to eliminate Britain first, it will give Austria and Russia a lot of breathing time. But, everyone, don’t forget Now that we have controlled the entire Western Europe and most of Central Europe, we can completely integrate these controlled forces, and then our strength will be improved again, even higher than the combination of Austria and Russia." Egypt K expressed his opinion.
"I also agree that we should deal with Britain first, so that we can deal with Austria and Russia without any worries. Although there may be an alliance between Austria and Russia now, this alliance was formed only after being pressured by us, There are also irreconcilable contradictions between the two countries. As long as we can seize the opportunity, we can completely break through each of them, and then the difficulties we face will be much reduced.” Foreign Minister Grigio also expounded his point of view .
After that, other people also expressed their views one after another. Most people still believed that Britain should be eliminated first, and then Austria and Russia should be solved one by one.
"I already understand everyone's opinions. In my opinion, I still think that Britain should be eliminated first. After all, the most powerful navy in Britain has been eliminated by us, and the remaining army is nothing to fear. I believe Our army can quickly occupy the British Isles at a small cost. But Austria and Russia are different. Although they suffered heavy losses from our army's attack at the beginning of the war, they undoubtedly still have very strong strength Yes. It’s okay for Austria to say that as long as we destroy the Vienna area, the Great Plains of Hungary, Prague and other places, Austria’s industrial base will be completely destroyed, and Austria will also completely lose its ability to fight. But Russia is different. Russia is a traditional As an agricultural country, its industrial foundation is very weak. Unless we can occupy all of Russia or kill all the Russians, it will be difficult for us to destroy Russia. However, Russia is too big, and we simply don't have that many troops. To destroy such a country, we can only choose the way of encroaching step by step, but this will undoubtedly take a lot of time. Therefore, we should first eliminate the threat of Britain, and then slowly solve Austria and Russia." Xiao Jie concluded in the end road.
"The cabinet has no objection to His Majesty's plan." Prime Minister Cambáceres took the lead in expressing his support.
With the full support of the government and the military, Xiao Jie's plan to destroy Britain first and then deal with Austria and Russia was finalized.
"Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will immediately contact Austria and Russia, and prepare to hold peace talks with the two countries. The General Staff is stepping up to formulate a battle plan and prepare to land in the UK. The Logistics Department will ensure the supply of materials for the front line and make war reserves. Other departments must also Fully cooperate with this operation. For the sake of France, I hope everyone will work hard." Best, Xiao Jie gave the order.
All the people stood up and shouted: "For France!" Now, they are very confident that the glory of France will bloom again in their hands, and everyone is devoted to intense work with full enthusiasm.
Afterwards, both Austria and Russia received notes from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Francis I and Alexander were overjoyed, and immediately ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to step up preparations for peace talks. At this moment, the two countries have completely left Britain aside.
In order to resolve the conflict between Austria and France, Francis I thought for a long time. After all, Austria is no better than Russia. For France, Russia still has the power to fight. As Austria is very close to France, its strength is much weaker than France, and it is difficult for them to resist France's attack. Therefore, Francis I needs to ease the relationship with France and win more development time for Austria.
Later, Francis I proposed to Alexander and Xiao Jie that they could have a meeting to resolve the misunderstandings between the three countries. For his proposal, both Alexander and Xiao Jie expressed that it was not necessary, but Francis I insisted on it repeatedly. In the end, after consultations by the foreign ministries of the three countries, it was decided to hold a meeting between the emperors of the three countries in mid-May to resolve their disputes. The meeting place was chosen in Przemysl, a city in southern Poland. This is almost the junction of the three countries. At the same time, choosing to meet in Poland controlled by France also expresses the respect of Austria and Russia for France. Xiao Jie expressed no objection to this, and at the same time told the two countries that during the period of the meeting, the French troops in Przemesil will all withdraw from the area, and each of the three countries will send a small-scale **** Troops are stationed in the area. Both Francis I and Alexander expressed their appreciation for Xiao Jie's approach.
At the end of April, the diplomats of the three countries all rushed to Przemysl in advance to prepare for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor of each country. At this time, France's landing plan for the United Kingdom has also reached the best juncture. And England was fully aware of the meanness of Austria and Russia.
"Damn Austria and Russia, how can they abandon us and make peace with France alone? Don't they know that if France defeats us, then they will not have good results?" The British Prime Minister, the Earl of Liverpool, roared, receiving He was furious at the news of the betrayal of the alliance by both Austria and Russia.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think we should immediately send a note to the two countries ~www.mtlnovel.com~ to warn them to abide by the covenant and stop their dangerous actions immediately." The British Home Secretary said first.
"Now that Austria and Russia have decided to make peace with France, do you think they will heed our warning?" said Lord Smegle, the Foreign Secretary.
"Then what is your Ministry of Foreign Affairs doing, and why did this happen?" the Home Secretary growled. In his view, the betrayal of the allies was entirely due to the unfavorable work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Your Excellency, Minister of the Interior, you have to make it clear that this time Austria and Russia betrayed the alliance. Although our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has the inevitable responsibility, the root cause is not with us, but with the military. Will Austria and Russia abandon us after repeated failures?" Smegley blamed the military.
Seeing that the quarrel might expand, Liverpool immediately stopped it: "Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Now everyone should think about how to get through this difficult time."
Everyone was silent. The military leaders including the Minister of War Hammurabi, now the situation is very clear. If Austria and Russia make peace with France, then the UK will face France alone. This is for the UK , no less than a catastrophe.
