European countries relaxed the material restrictions on France, which was originally a good thing, but Napoleon IV could not be happy at all.

There is no way, and the change in political stances in various countries also means that the European world is not optimistic that France can win this war.

Nowadays, the center of the world is in Europe, and the viewpoint of the European world will directly affect the judgments of countries around the world.

In recent times, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has worked hard to win over allies overseas and has achieved phased results, especially after the British joined, which has become more powerful.

Without this bad news, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico and Japan may all become members of the anti-Austrian alliance.

Nothing is possible now. Politicians are not fools. It’s okay to let them go with the flow and speculate. If they want them to go against the current and fight side by side with France, then there’s no need to think about it.

Open the map and you will know that Egypt plays a crucial role in this war. Once it falls into the hands of Austria, the anti-French alliance will be invincible.

Seeing that France was strategically passive, no matter how much the Paris government promised, the fencemen could not get millet from their fire.

Resisting his anger, Napoleon IV asked: "Why did the Egyptian region fall so quickly?

You should know that we just launched a new force not long ago. The 23 infantry divisions and the Egyptian troops have a total force of more than 800,000. Are our troops all the food bags in the lounge?"

Rumors are not released casually. If the Vienna government dares to deceive people by occupying Egypt, it is also worthwhile.

Just a week ago, the French army lost the estuary of Egypt, and the French army in Egypt had contacted France's mainland, and no one knew what happened on the front line.

From the standpoint of the bystander, France had just increased its troops on the front line and lost its estuary. This was clearly the Austrians were deliberately seducing the enemy.

Since we are luring the enemy, we are naturally sure to win. It is reasonable to say that the Egyptian region falls so quickly.

The outside world could make up for this, and Napoleon IV could not bear it. Not only did he lose Egypt, he also lost more than 300,000 regular troops, which was a loss to his grandma's house.

If I had known this, it would have been better to withdraw the French Egyptian troops and fight with the anti-French alliance on the European continent, at least it would have increased the chance of winning.

Facing the emperor who was about to go wild, Luskinia, the same confused Minister of Army, explained helplessly: "Your Majesty, no one knows what happened in Egypt now. Maybe, this is just a false news released by the Austrians.

In addition to the reinforcements we sent, the Egyptian region had more than 500,000 regular troops alone, and Governor Jacob had rich combat experience. Even if he could not defeat the enemy, he would not be able to be wiped out so quickly.

Before the port fell, we contacted Egypt for the last time, and Governor Jacob also promised to last for at least half a year."

If you persist for half a year, there are naturally prerequisites. War is about materials. With sufficient logistics, 500,000 French regular troops and 300,000 cannon fodder troops will certainly have the power to fight.

However, the plan did not change quickly, and the port guarded by the French army fell first, and the French Egyptian troops turned into isolated troops.

According to the information from the navy, they were attacked by the Austrian navy and air force at the same time. After heavy losses, they were forced to evacuate, and then there was nothing else.

This is the tragedy of losing air supremacy. The Mediterranean is not big. Taking off from Libya, the Austrian Air Force can monitor the every move of the French Navy, but the French cannot lock in the Austrian Navy's mobilization.

In this era without radio and telegraphs, even if spies collect information, they cannot send it back in time.

Information is not equal, and the French Navy has to adopt a conservative state in a series of operations. The main fleet did not dare to divide the troops at all, for fear of being ambushed by the Austrian Navy.

The only squadron stationed in Egypt was stationed in a very limited scale. It was naturally unbearable to be attacked by Austrian sea and air.

Without the entire army, it is enough to prove that the French naval generals are still reliable. As for the safety of the port, it is really embarrassing.

Without the support of the navy's firepower, it was hit by the Austrian army and the sea, land and air, and the fall of France's port in Egypt became inevitable.

After hearing this explanation, Napoleon IV looked a little slow: "You mean Austrians are spreading rumors, but what are the benefits of this? Is it just to shock those fencemen?

In essence, we all know that luring allies to attack Austria's overseas colonies is just to get rid of the passive situation of political isolation and helplessness, and it will not really affect the war.

For Austria, even if all overseas colonies were lost, they would return to their hands after the war.

Now, releasing this rumor certainly preserves overseas colonies, but also pushes them to the opposite side of European countries. Especially Britain and Russia, they are absolutely unwilling to see them continue to grow."

Releasing such rumors is not worth the cost to Austria. This is the conclusion that Napoleon IV has drawn based on the current international situation and is also the reason why the international community is willing to believe the rumors.

Foreign Minister Carrel Kadrez: "Your Majesty, this may be the Austrians making plans for the international situation after the war.

After all, once our strategy is successful, Austria will add a large number of enemies overseas. It involves so many countries. If all of them come to the door to retaliate, it will inevitably cost a lot; it will not work without revenge, which is related to the dignity of the country.

If this is the case, then we must be careful. The enemy may have the confidence to win the war, so they will do this.

News came from the Embassy in Russia that Russia and Austria have been in frequent contact in recent times. We all know that Russia and Austria have a very close relationship and Austria has a very strong influence in the Russian Empire.

The brains of those Eastern European barbarians are relatively simple, and often they don’t do things through the brain. If Austria wins over the Russians, then the war will be difficult to fight later."

The chain of contempt has always existed. For a long time, the European continent has been well-developed and backward in Western Europe. The Russians in the Eastern Europe have naturally become the object of contempt.

There is no doubt that Karel Kadletz was deeply influenced by this concept and had always been prejudiced against the Tsarist government.

Whether it is strategy or interests, as long as you are stupid, it is not a problem.

According to the principle that one mountain cannot withstand two tigers, Russia and Austria, as neighbors, should be incompatible with water and fire, but the reality is just the opposite. Russia-Austrian relations have exceeded everyone's expectations.

So much so that European international relations research experts have been led by mistake, and some people even openly proposed that as long as politicians can maintain restraint, they can resolve all contradictions with political means.

Frankly speaking, this view is not unsuccessful. Without the British as a messenger, the European continent in its natural plane would have been able to resolve disputes through political means.

You should know that twenty years ago, France and the Austrians were allies. The conflicts between the two countries began to escalate, and it was after the British joined the alliance.

Because he had no confidence in the Tsarist government and was worried that the worst would happen. The French government had no choice but to make a quick decision and forced the front line to launch an attack, and the European War was once again pushed to a climax.

...

London, Prime Minister Gladstone has been insomnia since the news of French Egypt came.

The Austria, which is connected in a whole, is really terrifying. The existence of this behemoth has seriously threatened Britain's strategic security.

From this day on, Britain's maritime hegemony lost its checks and balances on Austria. If the two countries turn against each other one day, Britain must go to land to fight against Austria.

There is no way, the Suez Canal has fallen into the hands of Austria, and the Cape of Good Hope has become the only hub between Britain and India, and a military must-be defended place.

Lost this place also means losing India. As for detours, what is theoretically feasible is actually not practical at all.

It is simple to say that if you really detour tens of thousands of miles, it will not only increase the time, risks and costs of sailing at sea, but also weaken the British government's control over India.

If the Russians go south again, the British government will have no way to guarantee that reinforcements and strategic materials can be sent over in time.

In the conference room, Prime Minister Gladston's face was full of storms and said seriously: "Everyone, the worst situation we are worried about is still there.

With the fall of French Egypt, all our restrictive measures on Austria have lost their effect. At present, we must not only find a way to help the French, but also consider how to ensure the safety of the Cape of Good Hope."

Whether it is a sense of crisis or a paranoia caused by the murder. Theoretically, as long as Russia and Austria reach a deal, Austria will have the possibility of attacking the Cape of Good Hope.

Even the transaction content was completed by everyone present. The Russian army sent troops to the European continent to help deal with the French in exchange for Austria to occupy the Cape of Good Hope and cut off the ties between Britain and India.

One of them won the hegemony of continental Europe and Africa, and the other one obtained British India, and the two countries joined forces to divide the world. From the perspective of interests, Russia and Austria made great profits.

Foreign Minister George: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has begun to take action, and we will find ways to undermine Russia and Austria's further approach.

But this is far from enough, unless the French can hit Austria hard in the continental war, the Cape of Good Hope will not be safe from now on.

Things on the battlefield are not accurate. Judging from the strength on paper, I don’t think the French have the possibility of winning the war.

Even if we fully support the French, they did not have the strength to severely damage Austria. You should know that the current Austrian Empire is not only the world's largest industrial power, but also a giant with more than 30 million square kilometers of land and a population of over 100 million.

If other countries in the anti-French alliance were added, it would be difficult for us and the French to gain an advantage.

In this context, we either come to the battlefield in person or force the French to fight to the death and use them to consume Austria's strength.

The benefits of doing this are very obvious. The strength of France and Austria has been weakened. No matter who wins or loses, they will not have the strength to dominate the continent after the war."

This multiple-choice question is easy to do. Britain just pked a match with the Russians, and lost more than 200,000 local troops on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and had no ability to continue to have a friendly match with Austria.

If you don’t want to fight to the death, you can only let your allies join. France is also a big country. If you do your best, it will be enough for Austria to have a drink.

Once Austria's strength is severely damaged, it is when Russia and Austria part ways. After all, there is only one European overlord, and there is no way to give up when they cannot win; once a new opportunity arises, no one will let go.

The colonial minister Primros echoed: "The Jazz's proposal is good, and I agree very much. But before that, we must first increase the Cape of Good Hope and not give the Austrians an opportunity to take advantage of it.

It is best to send troops withdrawn from the battlefield in Afghanistan to the Cape of Good Hope to garrison the Austrians."
