Chapter 883

Just as the Government of the United Kingdom decided to bet all its chips on the Five-card Stud, the outcome of the Battle of the English Channel was also disseminated by the Government of Vienna.

The morale of the Continental Alliance soared, and the fence-sitters who had been wavering also moved closer to the Government of Vienna.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many countries involved and the interests involved, making it difficult to finalize in a short time, the Continental Alliance would have swelled.

On the contrary, the Oceanic Alliance was gloomy. Everyone had high expectations for the Royal Navy before, but now they were disappointed.

The boss was not doing well, and the subordinates were also in a difficult position. If it weren't for the fact that the current situation did not allow anyone to retreat, they would have voted with their feet.

Blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.

On May 27, 1905, the Continental Alliance led by Shinra joined forces with the Russian Army heading south in the Khorasan area. On the same day, the Tehran garrison, besieged by the Continental Alliance, laid down their weapons and surrendered, and the Persian Empire was officially destroyed.

Persia's defeat was expected. In the face of the attack of the European countries, the Persian Empire had already exceeded its usual level to be able to resist for five months.

Even with the support of allies, this was still a remarkable achievement. If the British Isles were bordered by the European continent, it was unknown whether Britannia could last for five months.

But at this time, they had no choice but to overthink things. A feeling of sympathy spread in the Oceanic Alliance.

The Government of the United Kingdom, which was in a mess, had no time to appease the emotions of their allies, and even their own emotions were too late to adjust.

When they opened the map, they knew that India was in danger. Fortunately, the Suez Canal was blocked. Otherwise, the enemy's navy would have gone east to cover the army's attack from the sea, and the situation would have worsened.

It was not much better now. India was already fighting on two fronts, and it was possible that they would have to fight on three fronts in the future.

The only thing they could rely on was the terrain. The Allied Alliance had to cross the Persian Plateau, and logistical transportation was a big problem.

In fact, the biggest reason why the Persian Empire could last for five months was that logistics limited the performance of the Allied Alliance.

There was no other way. Except for the major cities, most of Persia did not have railways, and they could only rely on human and animal transportation.

The only railways were destroyed by the Persians. In order to ensure the logistics of the army, the Government of Vienna even mobilized hundreds of transport airships.

As the front line continued to move forward, the Allied Alliance Headquarters was also moved to Zahedan. As the victor of the battle, there was no smile on Archduke Friedrich's face.

"Kill all the way to India." The slogan sounded simple, but when it was put into practice, trouble would come.

Logistics was their biggest weakness. At the moment, the most important task of the allied forces was not to fight but to repair the railway destroyed by the enemy.

Perhaps, or because of the Persia, the Kingdom of the Persians, the Empire, but, Persia Kingdom, the Persia Kingdom's Empire, Empire.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was because they were wary of the Persian Empire, but the number of railways that the sh * t-stirrers built in Persia was also varied.

To Even the Railways, Kingdom had Railways, Route. Were to the train. Looking at the report in his hand, Friedrich suspected that he was not the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces but an engineering commander-in-chief.

No matter how bad the traffic was, it was a strategic victory to push the front line to India.

At this point, as long as the Continental Alliance was willing to invest, it was only a matter of time.

There were two sides to everything. While the Continental Alliance achieved a strategic victory, the Continental Alliance was also in turmoil.

There was no doubt that India was the best "cake." The Vienna government had made a promise early on that they would not touch India and let everyone divide it up.

The Continental Alliance was made up of small countries. Apart from Shinra and Russia, no one had the power to swallow India. The Government of Vienna had also announced their withdrawal. The only competitors left were Britain and Russia.

It was not difficult to expel the British. Faced with the siege of the entire European continent, it was almost impossible for Britain to defend India. The problem was after the British were expelled.

Without a common enemy, allies became competitors. Interests moved people. Even though the Russian Empire was still powerful, it could not shake everyone's determination to spy on India.

One-on-one, no one was a match for Russia. Once they joined forces, the situation would be very different.

Since Shinra was suppressing them, they were allies in name. Even if there was a conflict, Russia could not directly attack them.

There was no need to directly fight with Russia. They could just compete in secret. Whoever was afraid was a coward.

A war without the smoke of gunpowder had thus begun within the Continental Alliance. All sorts of underhanded methods were being used to drag the other party down, to play dirty tricks, and to be the first to perform.

Soon, the lawsuit was brought to Franz's desk. Then, the fight continued. In the face of interests, it was not easy to mediate.

Moreover, it was the Government of Vienna that provoked the conflict between the European countries and Russia. For this, they even threw India.

If it was not for the fact that the war for hegemony was not over and it was not a good time to start a dispute, Franz would have personally added fuel to the fire.

The Government of Vienna did not care about the matter. The two sides were fighting happily, but at this time, the British made their move.

From Lisbon to St. Peter, strikes broke out all over Europe.

Unlike the restraint of the revolutionary party in the past, this time the British completely let go of their hands and feet. They played with any danger without considering the consequences.

Not only did they repatriate the revolutionary party, but they also sent professionals to help formulate the outline of the revolution. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, at least it was successful.

The revolutionaries, who had been fooled, seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They threw themselves into the revolutionary tide without a care for their own safety.

The Russian Empire, which had the most accumulated contradictions and the most corrupt bureaucratic group, naturally became the disaster area of this storm.

When other countries went on strike, it was really just a strike. The social environment did not allow it. Even if the revolutionary party shouted slogans loudly, it was difficult to start a revolution.

The Russian Empire was different. As the first country to participate in the war, Russia was also the country most affected by the war.

Nearly three million troops were mobilized to support the war on two fronts at the same time. It was impossible for the economy not to be affected.

Although there was support from the Government of Vienna, this support was also limited. Most of the war funds and supplies were raised by the Tsarist government itself.

If that was the case, with the size of the Russian Empire, it was not impossible to support. The bad thing was the bureaucratic group.

Nicholas II had never been a strong monarch, so naturally, he could not intimidate the evil spirits in the country. The opportunity to make a fortune came, and it was inevitable to "collect three to five more buckets."

It seemed inconspicuous, but when added up, it was a heavy burden on the people at the bottom.

Life was already difficult, and the capitalists jumped out to add insult to injury. On the one hand, they hoarded and raised prices, on the other hand, they deducted wages and increased working hours.

People had no money in their pockets, and life was difficult. It did not matter, there was a tailor-made usury.

The experts and scholars who should have issued early warnings, under the power of capital, continued to sing praises and advocate wildly …

With the continuous concentration of wealth, social contradictions also increased day by day, creating opportunities for revolution.

On June 1, 1905, the Polish people on strike broke out in an armed conflict with the military and police on Wittes Avenue, and the Polish independence organization took the opportunity to launch a rebellion.

After the "6.1" revolution, it was like pouring a ladle of water into a pot of boiling oil, and it splashed everywhere in an instant.

On June 4, a national independence movement broke out in Bulgaria; on June 6, an independence movement broke out in Finland; on June 11, an anti-Russian riot broke out in Lithuania; on June 15, Ukraine …

Before that, in May, the Afghan National Revolutionary Party launched an armed revolution and fired the first shot against Russia.

However, anti-Russian riots often broke out in the Regions of Afghanistan, and the guerrillas had never been wiped out, so it did not attract people's attention.

On June 22, French laborers in Siberia rioted, and the Siberian railway was disrupted for a time.

On June 26, Osman immigrants exiled to Siberia also participated in the rebellion.

This was not the end. In early July, a rebellion also broke out in Grozny in the Caucasus region.

On July 11, the Kazakhs in the Central Asian region also joined the anti-Russian movement, and the Central Asian railway was disrupted.

…

With so many independence and rebellions, it was obvious that the British could not plan it alone.

Let's not talk about other things for the time being, looking at how the revolutionary party returned to Russia, and where the weapons and equipment came from, it could explain the problem.

European countries conspired against Russia, and it was hard for the Tsarist government not to be unlucky. What's more, the Russian Empire also leaked information everywhere, creating opportunities for everyone.

The Russians were unlucky, and the European countries could not escape unscathed. Revolutions were contagious, especially when the British were still full of fire.

On June 18, the Portuguese republican party launched a coup, and Carlos I fled in panic.

On June 24, a religious conflict broke out in the Spanish capital, Madrid, resulting in 7 deaths and 16 injuries. The conflict between the reformists and conservatives escalated.

On June 27, a republican movement broke out in the Regions of Italy, and the Grand Duke of Lucca fled in panic, and the Papal State was also on the verge of death.

On the same day, an anti-war movement broke out in Hanover, asking the Government of Vienna to end the war and restore peace.

On June 29, an anti-Russian demonstration broke out in Prussia.

On July 1, an anti-war demonstration broke out in the Netherlands.

…

It was a mess, and the entire European continent, from east to west, was a mess.

The British only started, and the rest was up to the countries to play freely. He conspired against you, you conspired against me, I conspired against him, and after a round of traps, no one was able to escape unscathed.

The continental alliance fell into chaos, and Britannia was not able to escape. As the protagonist of this war, how could there be no contradictions in the country?

After the English Channel War, the peaceful days of the British Isles ended. The people's hatred of the war reached its peak, and the voices of the people against the war grew louder.

On June 16, 1905, an anti-war strike broke out in Bradford, followed by Sheffield, Liverpool, London, Dublin, and other major cities.

Especially in the Dublin area, the momentum of the independence movement also rose. If it wasn't for the enough garrison, the local people would not only be anti-war, but also independence.
