Albrech: "From the current situation, the coalition forces will be able to successfully meet on the Kizil River next month, and the first phase of the coalition forces' combat mission will be basically completed.

In order to better adapt to the battlefield situation and end the war as soon as possible, the coalition command decided to adjust its military deployment.

After the division of the Ottoman Empire is completed, the troops of various countries will re-dividate their labor.

In the next round of strategic plans, the Russian army is responsible for the strategy west of the Kizil River, with the focus on taking down the enemy's capital, Ankara as soon as possible.

The Austrian army was responsible for the strategy west of the Kizil River. The core of the strategy was to take down the Mesopotamia and further divide the Ottoman.

Given that the Greek army and Montenegro army suffered heavy losses on the battlefield and were unable to undertake the next phase of combat tasks, the coalition command decided to cancel the next combat tasks of the two armies and carry out a one-month renovation.

After the renovation of the troops is completed, the task of the two armies is to be responsible for clearing local guerrillas, maintaining the stability of the newly occupied areas, and where they are responsible for, and then dispatch them according to actual needs.

Does anyone have any questions?"

The final question was obviously aimed at Greece and Montenegro, and Russia and Austria's division of combat labor was clearly coordinated in advance.

The heavy losses are just an excuse, kicking the Greek army and Montenegro out of the combat sequence also means that they have lost their voice in the distribution of trophy.

Marshal Maxim Trentiev of Montenegro: "No problem, our army has reduced more than 600 troops, and it really needs to be repaired."

Both battalions were destroyed and the troops were not repaired, Maxim Trentiev's strengthening regiment would be scrapped.

Publius wanted to speak but stopped. This was not the time to show off. Otherwise, he would annoy the coalition command. After the mission to die, Greece would have to pay all his money.

Russia and Austria can withstand casualties in units of tens of thousands, which means that many soldiers can afford to lose, but Greece cannot.

In the previous battle, the Greek army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, which was no lower than Montenegro, and the morale of the army had been greatly reduced.

...

The situation on the battlefield became clearer, and the post-war sharing of spoils was put on the Vienna government's agenda.

The pre-war agreement was just an oral agreement and could only be used as one of the reference standards at most. The decision of how much the spoils should be divided depends on strength.

The performance of the four anti-Turkey alliance countries on the battlefield and their contributions to the war will become the core standard for post-war sharing of spoils.

In addition, we must also consider political influence and the feelings of allies to satisfy all parties as much as possible.

Prime Minister Felix: "Although Greece and Montenegro did not make much effort on the battlefield, their joining brought political bonuses to the alliance.

In particular, the death of a minister by the Greeks increased the legitimacy of us launching this war. These additional effects must be taken into account by the government.

When we instigated the Armenians to launch the independence movement, we promised to make them independent and establish a country. We also needed to give them an explanation after the war.

Other nations in the Ottoman country that responded to the alliance also need to give them an explanation and not let the outside world watch jokes."

He is not the world's leader yet, and many of the Austrian government's practices are moving closer to the world's hegemony.

When a boss cannot be without his younger brothers, if you want to gain the support of his younger brothers, you must let everyone see real benefits.

While taking into account the interests of my younger brother, you cannot harm your own interests, otherwise you will become a sucker.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "The nations that responded to the alliance were mainly Greeks and Slavs, instigated by the Greek government and the Russian government respectively.

It is enough to hand it over to the two countries to resettle after the war. Those who are unwilling to leave can stay. Anyway, the small number of people does not cause trouble.

The trouble is that the Armenians are independent and founded, which involves our future strategic deployment.

Austria needs to set an example to make everyone believe that as long as they cooperate with us, they can achieve national independence.

Independence and establishment of a country naturally requires territory. Demarcation of a piece of land from the Ottoman Empire and making the Armenians independent will inevitably reduce the income of us and the Russians.

The most important thing is that this place is difficult to choose. We cannot give up on the Mesopotamia Basin, and there cannot be a country among the country on the Asia Minor Peninsula.

The best choice is the Caucasus Mountains generation, where the land is barren and has the lowest value. After Armenia's independence, it can also become a buffer, reducing the boundary between us and the Russians.

But now it has fallen into the hands of the Russians, and if the Tsarist government wants to spit it out, we will have to pay a big price."

Supporting Armenia's independence and founding of the country was actually aimed at Britain and France, and in a sense it also impacted the Russians.

There are not many ethnic groups in Europe that urgently need independence. The Irish, Italian, and Poles are definitely among the top three, and the Bulgarian, Scottish, and Baltic national independence awareness will be reduced by several levels.

The Poles can be ignored for the time being. They were killed in the Prat-Russia War and were severely injured and could not recover for a while.

The Irish and Italians are the nations most likely to break out of independence movement in Europe, and are also the focus of the Vienna government's business development.

Armenia is the magnet that attracts independent organizations of the two countries and Austria to cooperate. When Austria and Britain and France face each other, this is the best killer weapon.

Navy Secretary Castagni suggested: "Maybe we can make transactions by helping the Russians develop their navy. Now is the ocean era, and we are not afraid that the Russians will not be moved."

"But the Tsarist government has no money!"

The words of the Chancellor of the Finance Minister Carl directly made Castagney's many reasons still die.

The navy is a gold-eating beast, and playing with the navy in a poor country is a disaster.

With the fiscal revenue of the Tsarist government, being able to balance income and expenditure is the result of God's blessing, and it is simply unrealistic to develop the navy.

As if he had thought of something, Franz suddenly said, "The Russians have no money, so let them become rich."

Before this, we must first tempt the Tsarist government to take the bait.

The Navy is breaking out in a technological revolution, and our group of battleships will be eliminated by the times in no time.

It happened to be used for waste and given to the Tsarist government a fleet as compensation for the independent establishment of the Armenians.

The Kingdom of Prussia is over, the Danes are also traditional ally of the Russians, and the final obstacles in the Baltic Sea no longer exist.

Constantinople was firmly controlled by the Russians, and after the end of the Near East War, the Black Sea became the inner lake of the Tsar.

We are also allies of the Russians. Their door to the Mediterranean is open, and the strategic situation of the Russians can be said to be unprecedentedly good.

All obstacles no longer exist, and now the navy is missing. Now is the golden age for the Russians to develop the navy, and someone within the Tsarist government will definitely see it.

Giving a fleet to the Russians and igniting the enthusiasm of the Tsarist government to develop the navy is of great significance to our next strategic significance.

Montenegro and Greece can also follow this example. If there is no land to them, you can reward them with a warship."

The Vienna government has decided to provoke a new round of naval arms race as the pre-dreadnought era arrives, and these battleships are bound to be eliminated.

Keeping it in your hands is a burden. If you want to sell it all, there are no such rich financial supporters in the world.

According to previous practice, these untreated warships are usually modified if they can be converted into merchant ships, and if they cannot be modified, they become school training ships. The final destination is either to become the target of naval target training or to dismantle and sell scrap iron.

Giving it to allies is not a scam. Austria's backwardness is still the main force in the hands of the Russian Navy.

Navy Secretary Castagni said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, we are at a loss for sending warships for free, at least we have to recover the cost, right?"

No matter whether it is selling second-hand warships or converting them into merchant ships for sale, they can provide a military expenditure to the navy, and they can’t get a single piece of hair if they are given for free.

Franz smiled and said, "Our allies can't afford it. Even if the price is low, I don't think the Tsarist government has the courage to buy a fleet.

Besides, it was not really for free, we exchanged political interests. As for the military expenditure of the Navy, wouldn’t it be back if we did after-sales service?

If it is not enough, you will sell them some small warships, help them upgrade their ports, and promote Austrian standards to their allies' navies.

The navy of the Principal of Montenegro is almost zero, you can do whatever you want; the Greek navy is still in the English system, and you need to help them correct it; the Russian navy was still thirty years ago, and you have a lot of business."

Franz once thought that free goods were the conscience of the merchant. After being beaten by society, he had to admit that free goods were the most expensive.

I didn't seem to have paid for this service, but in fact, I have bought a order for it somewhere else.

While giving away warships, you can also promote the Austrian naval standards, and the benefits contained in this are absolutely not low.

You can see from the Army that through a series of operations by the Vienna government, Austrian equipment has become the most popular weapon in the world.

More than half of the countries around the world use Austria's standard weapons, and Austria accounts for 73.6% of the international arms exports.

In contrast, the Navy is much more miserable. It was suppressed by the British in the international arms market and occupied less than 10% of the market share, which is completely incompatible with its strength.

"Your Majesty, the finances of the Tsarist government are very bad, and it is almost impossible to make them rich." Chancellor Carl reminded

Franz nodded: "We can sign long-term supply contracts for raw materials with the Russians, overdraw the Russians' future income, and increase the funds that the Tsarist government can mobilize in the short term.

Helping the Russians upgrade their military ports can also fool them into making them both military and civilians, and use the port's future income to make up for their early investments.

To mobilize our influence in Russia to build momentum, let the ocean era be deeply rooted in people's hearts and exaggerate the important letter of the sea power.

It made the Tsarist government believe that the reason why the Russian Empire was poor was because it gave up the ocean and fought to the mainland.

After the Tsarist government takes the bait, we will talk to them about territorial transactions. We will pay a high price for the territory in the Russian Ukraine region, so that the Tsarist government's pockets will be thrilled.

Maybe we were at a disadvantage on the surface, but after a lot of money, it would still flow back to Austria.

As long as it can inspire the Russians' ambitions for the ocean and induce the Tsarist government to turn its strategy to the Indian Ocean, it is a victory.

When necessary, false market prosperity can be created in Russia, so that the Tsarist government can think that it has recovered and restored its vitality…”

This is a big game, and it can even be said to be the biggest game played since Franz succeeded to the throne.

Not only did the anti-Turkey alliance be included, European countries and even countries are chess pieces on the chessboard.

The strategic induction of the Russians is an insignificant link in this grand strategy. This big game started more than ten years ago.

Due to the changing international situation, several fine adjustments were made in the middle, and Franz only barely completed the layout now.

It is not necessary that all strategic plans be successful, as long as one-third achieves the goal, Austria is the winner.
Chapter completed!
