Chapter 801

With the formation of the two camps, the international situation became increasingly clear. On one side was the anti-British alliance centered on the Holy Roman Empire – the Continental Alliance; on the other side was the anti- Shinra alliance formed by Britannia – the Pan-Ocean Front.

The Suez Canal attack tore open the last layer of window paper, and the contradictions between the two camps were placed on the table.

The armed conflicts in various places continued to escalate. Except for a declaration of war, a real war had formed between Shinra and Britannia.

Most of the main members of the Continental Alliance were concentrated in Europe. With the ready-made organizational framework of the European Alliance, there was only a slight change in function. The Pan-Ocean Front led by the British was in trouble.

When countries first joined the Pan-Ocean Front, the situation was not like this. The British only told everyone to form a group to besiege Shinra, but did not say that the enemy was the entire European continent.

The scope of the enemy expanded, and there were disputes within the Pan-Ocean Front. Although everyone was confident in the Royal Navy, everyone was not sure about this war.

"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors." This saying did not apply to countries. Because of historical reasons, most countries had conflicts of interest with their neighboring countries, and even long-term hostility.

The enemy of the enemy was not necessarily a friend, but could be an ally most of the time. For example, if Chile joined the Pan-Ocean Front, then the two hostile countries, Peru and Bolivia, would naturally be inclined to the Continental Alliance.

Now they did not jump out to pick a side, because of the Royal Navy's dominant position, so everyone did not dare to act rashly. Maybe they had already secretly colluded.

In this context, everyone not only had to participate in the war against Shinra, but they also had to be careful of their neighbors' backstabbing.

It was not that the Government of the United Kingdom did not think of a solution, but when it involved interests, there was no discussion at all.

Take Chile, Bolivia, and Peru for example. It was very easy to want Bolivia and Peru to give up their hatred, as long as Chile was willing to give up the benefits of the South Pacific War.

The Chileans would naturally not agree to give up the meat in their stomach, and then there would be no discussion.

No matter how big the face of Britannia was, it was not as big as the interests. Even if the Government of the United Kingdom was willing to share the colonies of Shinra, it would not be of any use.

Although the colonies of the Holy Roman Empire were vast, there were not many that could be seized.

If more people participated in the division, no one would be full. Everyone joined the Pan-Ocean Front to eat meat, but the final harvest was very touching.

In order to coordinate the relationship between the allies and integrate the strength of the alliance, the British government was extremely busy, but the final result was very touching.

Every country had their own calculations. When there was a conflict between the interests of the Alliance and their own country, the national interest would definitely take precedence.

The government in Vienna couldn't make the European countries do their best, and the government in London couldn't make the Pan-Ocean Front countries work too hard.

The allies had not been settled yet, but the voices of the Pan Front Government were. The verbal cannons started to attack the government's foreign policy, as if the current situation was the result of the current government's incompetence.

Throwing away the newspaper, Campbell rubbed his forehead and asked, "The Marines haven't found an opportunity yet?"

Navy Minister Swindin waved his hand and said, "Whether it is the enemy's Nanyang fleet or the American fleet, they are usually scattered in various ports. They will not gather unless there is a major event.

Navy Minister Swindin waved his hand and said, "Whether it's the enemy's Nanyang fleet or the American fleet, they are usually scattered in various ports. They won't gather unless there's a major event.

But after dividing our forces, the Royal Navy's advantage will no longer exist. But after splitting up, the Royal Navy's advantage no longer existed.

Even if the enemy occasionally gathered, they would only be active in the coastal area. Considering that the enemy could retreat to the port at any time and that the air force could provide firepower support, we did not act rashly. "

This was the opposite of the Army. The lobster soldiers were good in small-scale battles, but once the scale of the battlefield expanded, they would immediately wither.

Finance Minister Asquith: "Since we can't sneak attack, we might as well find an opportunity to fight the enemy.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Asquith: "Since we can't sneak attack, we might as well find an opportunity to fight the enemy.

We also have the cooperation of our allies. We can completely destroy the enemy's two ocean fleets in a short period of time and ensure the smooth sea trade lines.

The footsteps of war are constantly approaching, and we don't have much time left. The saint of the Vienna Palace is now performing his final performance.

If everything goes according to plan, it won't take long for their investigation results to come out, and then they will declare war on us. "

It was obvious that Asquith did not like Franz at all. It made sense. Everyone had no image except for Asquith. It would be a problem if he was not hated.

Foreign Affairs Minister Adam said coldly, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already begun to coordinate the issue of joint operations, but it will still take some time.

There are two problems we are facing now. One is the issue of command, and the other is the distribution of benefits after the war.

Our allies have big appetites. What they want does not match their own strength. We need to let them see the reality. "

Ever since they discovered that the enemy had changed from Shinra to Europe, Britannia's allies were no longer so willing. However, it was easy to get on the ship but difficult to get off. Reality did not allow them to retreat.

At this point, even if someone wanted to jump ship, the Government of Vienna would have to consider the feelings of their allies first. It was impossible to accept them.

Being neutral was even more ridiculous. If they wanted to retreat after the war, it would be equivalent to offending both sides. They would definitely be punished after the war.

If it was not for the fact that they still needed the help of other countries, the Government of the United Kingdom would not be polite to these greedy allies.

…

Just as the British were busy forming teams, the investigation team's report finally appeared on Franz's desk after a week.

Unsurprisingly, all the evidence presented in the investigation report, which was more than thirty pages long, pointed to the British.

After flipping through it casually, Franz lost interest in continuing to read. There were too many words. It was a complete waste of time.

After glancing at everyone, Franz shook his head and said, "There's too much content. I have to simplify it. Also, the evidence is too detailed. It's as if it was personal experience. It can't stand up to scrutiny.

He would delete, subtract, and add in some ambiguous things. After the war, add in the British's confession, and it will be perfect.

Once it's settled, announce it to the public and ask the Government of the United Kingdom to hand over the murderer and compensate for the losses. At the same time, give them a final order.

Forget it, let's wait a little longer! It's Christmas next week. For God's sake, let the British have their last Christmas. "

It also took time to track down the evidence. It was only a week, and more than half of the time was spent on the road.

Whether or not there was an in-depth investigation, it was scary to think that they could produce such a thick report in such a short period of time.

Unfortunately, this report was drafted by a professional. The participants of the investigation team were all criminal investigation experts in various fields. They were a group of people who pursued perfection in evidence.

In theory, the evidence listed in the report was complete. There were even photos of the contacts. All of them were impeccable and could not be denied by the British.

But in Franz's eyes, it was awkward no matter how he looked at it. People who had experienced the impact of the Internet knew that the more detailed the details presented, the easier it was to be overturned.

On the contrary, ambiguous things were the most difficult to overturn. Anyway, history books were written by the victors. Ambiguous content could be proven after the war.

Time could affect a person the most. After staying in this world for decades, Franz had completely integrated into the times. This included giving face to God.

There was no other way. God's face was too big for him. Generally speaking, not giving face to God at a time like Christmas was going against the entire people.

If you didn't believe it, you would know by looking at the reactions of everyone present. No one raised any objections. It was obvious that everyone was a "loyal" believer of God.

Prime Minister Chandler said, "Yes, Your Majesty. As for the investigation report, we will implement it later.

But since the declaration of war has to be postponed until after the holiday, do you want to find the Pope to choose an auspicious day? "

It was not ironic. Europeans also had to choose a day when they encountered major events. Some superstitious people even found witches to perform divination.

The anti-British alliance included the Papal States. They had the most professional team of charlatans, so naturally, they had to be used.

It seemed like superstition, but it was not. Before and after the outbreak of war, it was easy for people to feel lost and need to seek spiritual sustenance.

With a great god like the Pope, it would be a crime not to make use of him. It was because the Government of Vienna had integrity that the British were not labeled as heretics.

Of course, it was impossible to do so without integrity. The struggle between monarchical power and religious power had always existed, and it was only in the last two hundred years that monarchical power prevailed over religious power.

Before that, the monarchical power of Europe was also very bitter. Even though he regarded himself as the most devout believer of God, when it came to core interests, Franz was not prepared to give the Vatican a chance.

"Then inform the Vatican that the declaration of war is set for December 27th. Let the Pope be prepared."
