On the other side of the ocean, as the second member of the Ocean Alliance, the United States has been particularly lively recently, and the issue of whether to send troops to participate in the war has been completely quarreled.

Not only are members of Congress quarreling among several factions, but also among the people. With the media's fuel, it has now become the hottest topic in American society.

It was finally difficult for all parties to reach an agreement, but as the news of the London bombing came, everyone started arguing again.

After all the efforts of the slaughter, they finally calmed everyone down, but the bad news of the naval battle in Malacca came again.

The successive bad news made Theodore Roosevelt collapse. The president of the United States was not easy to be, and his domestic position had never been unified.

The United States was born in Britain, and British and American capital was a true sash, and interests prompted the United States to stand on the side of the British.

As for the Holy Roman Empire, it is an alien in the capitalist world. Although it is also classified as a capitalist country, the internal play is nationalism.

There are a lot of restrictions, and the bourgeoisie is suppressed and tightly suppressed. Especially the management of financial capital is more strict, even to the point of being harsh.

If the Holy Roman Empire wins the war, the Shinra model will dominate the world, which will definitely be a disaster for the capital world.

If it weren't for the excessive involvement of the interests and the British were fooled on board the ship early, with Britain's performance on the battlefield, Roosevelt would have long since stopped compromising the British.

But the reality is cruel. The United States was too deeply influenced by Britain. Both political and cultural, economic and industrial industries were tied to the British.

After World War II in Original Time and Space, the Americans were able to smoothly take over the world hegemony of Britain, which was the line that these interest groups were tied to.

It has to be admitted that the British have had a strong influence these days, and while winning over the United Nations, they can even stabilize the alliance.

If it weren't for the deep hatred between the north and the south, it would probably be that the two countries could even appear in the same trenches now.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the laissez-faire of the Vienna government.

The more allies the better. In addition to the same interests as possible, you must also consider the responsibilities and impacts caused by them.

The Holy Roman Empire's power in America is OK to defend its own colonies, but it is obviously impossible to provide security to its allies.

Influenced by Franz, the pragmatic Vienna government never did anything beyond its own capabilities.

In the Americas, which have weak strength, it naturally went quietly. Anyway, they were all making up the numbers. When cannon fodder is not qualified, these countries are not needed to emerge before the situation is unclear.

The real meaning of winning over allies lies in the construction of the international situation after the war. It is obviously better to have allies cooperate with them than to be directly harder. For the overlord country, the more you have, the better.

President Roosevelt asked with concern: "Did the expert group's evaluation result come out? How big is the British's chance of winning?"

Deep down, I leaned towards the British. In this war, the United States also supported Britain, but Roosevelt was still unsure of the outcome of the war.

There is no way, the split United States is definitely not a problem of 3-1=2. In terms of comprehensive national strength, at most half of the original time and space period, and industrial strength is particularly weakened.

Even if Britain and the United States combined, there is still a qualitative gap with the Holy Roman Empire. The only advantage is probably that the Ocean Alliance covers a wider territory, a larger population, and a richer resources.

However, war is not only about territory, population and resources. It also takes a long process to convert these things into military strength.

Otherwise, the population of British India alone would be almost the same as the entire continental alliance; the territory controlled by the Ocean Alliance was far more resources than that of the continental alliance.

If the conversion efficiency was not high, this war should have been one-sided to the Ocean Alliance, and Britain would not be suppressed by the Holy Roman Empire.

Secretary of State Castro replied with a serious expression: "The situation is very bad now, and the situation is moving in a direction that is not good for us.

Before the war broke out, the expert group evaluated that the Ocean League's chances of winning were as high as 86.7%; after the London bombing, it dropped by ten percentage points; after the results of the Malacca naval battle came, the expert group lowered the score by twenty percentage points again.

It seems that the Ocean League still has a higher chance of winning, but this is the ideal state and we must be in an extraordinary situation.

For example: the Russians sent troops to India, or the Cape of Good Hope fell, the fall of British East Africa, the fall of Indochina Peninsula, and the occupation of Persia by the Shinra Army, etc.

Frankly speaking, I am very suspicious of the combat effectiveness of the British Army. Without external forces, their strength would probably not be able to stop the enemy's troops."

Although the world war broke out, the real participation in the war was Britain and the Holy Roman Empire. At most, the Japanese and Russian Empires were included, and the remaining participating countries were in the preparation stage.

With the situation taking a sharp turn, the British government naturally wants to pull allies to the end. As the No. 2 country of the alliance, the United States must take practical actions.

After pausing for a cup of coffee, Roosevelt said fiercely: "Since that's the case, then find a way to help the British defend their territory.

Other countries may have a way out, but we cannot. The Vienna government's hostility towards us has been around for a day or two.

Since the Civil War, they have never given up on suppressing us. Now everyone has declared war on each other, and they will not stop if there is a chance to weaken us."

In fact, the suppression of the United States since the Civil War was not only from the Holy Roman Empire, but many European countries participated, but the difference was only the degree of pressure.

This includes restricting the influx of immigrants, blocking high-tech technologies, and unequal treatment in trade.

It was not until the establishment of the free trade system that it became the United States, which became a European commodity dumping market, that political life was a little easier.

Everyone understands the deep-seated reasons, it is nothing more than that the chosen country is too rich and has too great development potential, which arouses jealousy and fear among European countries.

In order to change this passive situation, the Washington government naturally moved closer to Britain, which came from the same origin. It happened that the British were also excluded by the European world, and the two sides hit it off and hooked up.

No matter how the international situation changes, the internal reasons for the Holy Roman Empire's suppression of the United States exist, which has become a problem that the US government must face.

...

The blood-red sunset was gradually fading, planes were still hovering in the sky, artillery fire was still roaring on the ground, and the overwhelming shouts of killing seemed to tear the entire world apart.

Putting down the telescope, Grand Duke Friedrich sighed.

After a day of battle, thousands of casualties were paid, and the position was pushed forward less than a mile.

Faced with the decline of the Persian Empire, it is obviously not satisfactory that it only achieved such a record.

There is no way, the enemy is prepared. Between the three great gangsters of Britain, Russia and Austria, the Persian Empire was worried about which day?

As the saying goes, "Born in distress and death in happiness", although the Persian Empire has declined, it is still inevitable to face the threat of three major gangsters at the same time, and the ruling class's sense of crisis is still inevitable.

In order to protect itself, the Persian government has always taken advantage of the contradictions between the three countries to sway left and right, just not to take sides.

In normal times, doing this is naturally the best choice. As a buffer zone for the three major powers, you don’t need a stand, and taking a side will only put yourself in a dangerous situation.

However, the times are developing and the international situation is changing. The Persian government, which has not kept up with the pace, made a wrong judgment at the outbreak of the hegemony war, which triggered the war.

Although the Vienna government repeatedly promised that it would only attack India and would not plot against Persian land, the Persians simply did not believe it.

Perhaps it was because the Turkic ancestors left behind the allusion of "fake Taoism to attack Guo", which made the Persian government make a wrong judgment.

Not only did he reject the Vienna government's proposal to borrow money, he also hooked up with the British. Of course, the British took the initiative to come to him to help.

However, this is not the focus. It involves the Vienna government's second strategic plan, which is related to the success or failure of the hegemony war, so naturally there is no tolerance for any warmth.

Since diplomatic negotiations cannot be reached, we can only see it on the battlefield. The style of the overlord country is so simple and unpretentious.

The line of defense in front of us was built by the Persian government for more than 100,000 laborers over the years.

Perhaps the Persian government felt that the tortoise shell could give people a sense of security. Not only did it establish fortifications on the border of Shenluo, but it also had a line of defense on the borders of Russians and British.

Facts have proved that fortifications are still effective. If these fortifications are not available to rely on and directly engage in head-on battles, the winner will probably be decided now.

After looking at the sky, Grand Duke Friedrich gave up his plan to fight at night. Although the army needed to grab time, it was not like this.

I personally ran to the front line and the daytime battles were all in my eyes. It was not that the Shinra Army was not strong enough, but that the enemy was prepared for it.

Not only were a large number of traps dug along the way, but many mines were also buried, and tank armor was difficult to exert its power.

The slow attack during the day is largely due to the delay in mine clearance.

According to the current situation, it is not difficult to break through the enemy's defense line, but it will be difficult to break through the enemy's defense line in a short period of time.

Of course, as long as you are willing to fill in your life, there is still hope.

Unfortunately, it was the Russians' unique skill to fill in human life. In the Holy Roman Empire, even if Grand Duke Friedrich was a royal family, he would not be able to take advantage of it.

"Order the troops to stop attacking."

With the withdrawal signal, the day's battle was over, and Nefriedrich, the command center, stared at the map alone in a daze.

After repeated research, Friedrich concluded that the Holy Roman Empire now needs cannon fodder troops.

Persians could use the terrain to build defense lines, not to mention the British. The battles behind them were inevitably filled with lives.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, sacrificing one or one million soldiers to take India is definitely a cost-effective deal.

But Friedrich is different. As one of the few insiders in the empire, he is very clear about his domestic attitude towards India.

To describe it in one sentence: this is not a dish from the Holy Roman Empire.

After looking through the colonial history, you will know that from Austria to the Holy Roman Empire, the target of colonization has always been in areas with vast land and sparsely populated areas.

India, which has a large population, has no strategic significance to the empire except for being able to plunder wealth in a short period of time.

Now targeting the offensive target at India is to put pressure on the British and force the British government to spend national efforts to fight on land.

If too much sacrifice is made for this, the strategic significance will be lost. Especially when the Air Force and Navy perform well, the Army cannot have "heavy casualties".

Establishing a cannon fodder force seems simple, but in fact it also affects the whole body. It is not only necessary to consider cost-effectiveness, but also to consider political influence.

These issues are not something Friedrich, the commander-in-chief in front of the enemy, who can decide in one sentence. The only one who has the power to decide the military system is the emperor.

...

The next day, Grand Duke Friedrich, who was wearing panda eyes, appeared in everyone's sight.

"Order the Third Division, the Ninth Division, and the Thirty-Sixth Division to launch a feint attack from the front, and order the Seventh Division, the Thirteenth Division and the Eighteenth Division to launch an attack on Persia through the Russian Empire!"

There is no doubt that this is a little risk-free gambling. If the Persians did not strengthen their defenses on the Northern Line, or had not had a strict defense, they would have been completely over.

If you are prepared, it will also lengthen the front line between the two countries. The longer the front line, the greater the consumption of materials and the more difficult it will be for logistics supply.

The Holy Roman Empire, which has a great family and a great career, can withstand these consumptions, which does not mean that the Persians can also withstand the terrifying consumption brought by the long front.

Even with the support of British allies, the British are now unable to take care of themselves. How many resources can they allocate to aid Persia?

The combat staff on the side reminded: "Commander, we have not communicated with the Russians yet. If we cross the border and use the road, it may cause misunderstandings."

Cross-border attacks are definitely not easy. Under normal circumstances, no sovereignty can be agreed, especially a big country like Russia.

Friedrich shook his head: "No, this is not a cross-border passage. We are just jointly attacking Persia with the Russian army.

Don’t forget that the Tsarist government also declared war with Persia. As allies, what’s the problem with us jointly sending troops to attack Persia?”

If you declare without a war, you cannot get it on the surface. From a legal perspective, the Russian Empire has already begun war with the Persian Empire.

According to the provisions of the Russian-Austrian Covenant, during joint combat, the Russian army, as ally, has the obligation to cooperate with the Shinra army to launch an attack.

As for whether diplomatic disputes would arise without communicating with the Tsarist government in advance, it would not be within Friedrich's consideration.
