It is a stud game between countries! This kind of stud game puts the entire country, or even the entire nation, on the gambling table.
Why stud?
In the final analysis, the winner takes all, and the loser... will naturally lose everything and have nothing.
But sometimes, even if many countries are on the gambling table, they are not necessarily willing to stud.
A country that dares to stud may not necessarily win, but a country that dares not to stud will definitely not win.
In fact, the UK has never dared to stud.
It's not that Britain doesn't dare, but because it has too many concerns - after all, Britain wears shoes and is not willing to lose too much on the battlefield. If the problem can be solved through non-war means, they don't mind doing that.
.
Even to a certain extent, until 1996, Britain was still looking for the possibility of withdrawing Russia from the war. Even though the war started because of the Anglo-Russian conflict.
"It seems that I have still ignored the fickleness of the Slavs!"
After learning that the information was provided by Sergei Vitus, the finance minister of the Roman Empire, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but sigh,
"As long as they have enough interests, they can betray anything."
Yes, the British like to betray their allies, but Russia is better at backstabbing allies. It withdrew from the war during World War I. In the early days of World War II, when Sandoku and Santoku carved up Poland, they formulated a plan to attack Santoku. If not, Santoku would have torn it up first.
Treaty, it is estimated that Santoku was the one who fought the Great Patriotic War.
When it comes to backstabbing... I'm good at it!
Although Emperor Zhu Da had always been wary of Russia, he was not so quick to backstab him. After all, in the simulator, Russia was still very upright and fought to the end.
What has changed?
Emperor Zhu Da half-closed his eyes, recalling the first battle in the simulator - first of all, the situation on the European continent has not changed, and the change in Persia has not been much. Where did the change occur?
"Australia!"
The only change was the mobilization of troops limited by transport capacity. Between North America and Australia, the base camp chose North America instead of fighting on two fronts as originally planned. In the simulator, the landing of the Imperial Army in Australia became the Empire's
"Battle of Dardanelles" - In the thirteen-month battle, due to insufficient transportation capacity, the imperial army could barely maintain the front line in the face of the Australian Legion's counterattack. 500,000 imperial soldiers successively crossed the ocean and arrived in Australia.
After nearly thirteen months of fighting, 111,402 Imperial troops were killed and 157,037 wounded. The losses were heavy, although the Imperial troops eventually occupied Australia.
However, the setbacks in the war caused the empire to invest too much power in Australia, which in turn affected the North American operations. This was like a domino, affecting the situation on each battlefield, and of course it also affected London. After all, victory would bring people
Come to faith.
Topics such as peace talks are naturally outside their scope of consideration.
And now?
Whether it was the stalemate on the European battlefield or the bad news on other battlefields, the British had the idea of dividing and disintegrating the "Four Emperors Alliance".
"The Russian offensive in Persia has suffered a setback. If the British are willing to cede Persia, they will most likely withdraw from the war and gain something for nothing. Of course, it is better than using their own troops to conquer Asia bit by bit."
His Majesty's words were spoken by Zhuge Jun, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
"Now, the Russians seem to have made their choice. If the Russians really backstab us, how should the empire choose?"
Faced with a backstab, what choice should the empire make?
Of course I have to stab it back!
This is a perfectly normal way of coping, but what happens after the stabbing goes back?
This does not change Russia's withdrawal, which will be a blow to the strength of the Imperial Alliance. Not to mention that the strength of the alliance has been severely weakened, and Russia may even join the Allied Powers. By then, the problem will be complicated.
what to do……
Emperor Zhu Da frowned, and another suggestion flashed in his mind.
"Your Majesty, we made a mistake in this matter. Our people paid too much attention to internal information..."
What is following insider information?
It's because "007" has penetrated so deeply that information will be continuously sent to him, so that he doesn't need to pay attention to the intelligence from the outside world at all.
"Mistake? Was it 007's mistake at work? No!"
Emperor Zhu Da shook his head and said.
"This is not a mistake at all. 007 needs to protect themselves. Overzealousness in external intelligence will cause them to reveal their identities. Every submarine we dispatch is not easy. They must protect themselves first, and then they can use it.
The effect is good, now let’s think about how to remedy it..."
Emperor Zhu Da did not think this was a mistake. After all, intelligence personnel were not omnipotent. He could not have known that the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister would reach a consensus in private, and then they would bypass the official government and send a secret envoy.
This action is not official at all, and they will only make this incident public when the dust has settled.
How to remedy?
"Your Majesty, we can find a way to delay the British action, um..."
"Assassin! You can send out assassins to kill the secret envoy midway."
Killing is not the best choice to solve the problem, but it is definitely the most convenient choice. If killing one person cannot solve the problem... then kill a few more.
The intelligence department has never been a pure department. They have done a lot of dirty work in order to complete their tasks. They know very well what is the easiest way, and they are also very good at carrying out such tasks.
Regarding this, Emperor Zhu Da did not doubt that the Investigation Department could let the secret envoy die quietly.
"Um……"
With Qian Zizhuang's suggestion in his mind, Emperor Zhu thought for a while and then said.
"How does the empire choose? We can send emissaries to lobby them, but what are the chances of success?"
"The British can give up Persia, we..."
Zhuge Jun frowned, and then he remembered that the empire had never given up the fat on its lips, and everything it gave away was... other people's.
Being generous to others is what the empire is best at. Persia is indeed the British sphere of influence!
"The reason why the Russian court chose this tendency is, to put it bluntly, because they lost their teeth in Persia and felt that the bones were difficult to chew. Since the British made concessions, they could just give in, but in essence, they would
We choose this way because we do not have a real advantage on the battlefield now. India is good, but only the fat in our mouths is ours!"
After sighing, Emperor Zhu Da asked the crown prince beside him. In the past days, Zhu Youlin had been studying government affairs beside him.
"Youlin, what do you think?"
Zhu Youlin thought for a while and said.
"Father, there is no difference between Slavs and Anglo-Saxons! They are all a group of profit-seeking people. No matter what kind of promises we make, as long as the benefits given by the other party are big enough, they will definitely betray them, but..."
Zhu Youlin said directly.
"But no one will betray the winner, because only the winner can bring real benefits! Therefore, the losers will eventually be abandoned, and everyone will follow the winner!"
