Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Kingdom of the Netherlands

After receiving an official reply from the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Dutch government does not know whether it should be a joy or a worry.

This result is almost exactly the same as their guess. Bulgaria does not have any interest in Nanyang, which is worth celebrating.

Unfortunately, because of no interest, the Bulgarian government is too lazy to send troops.

The Bulgarian government plans to set up a mercenary to help counterinsurgency. But can this mercenary alone do the trick?

You must know that the insurgents in Southeast Asia are extraordinary. After so many battles, people have evolved.

The elite troops among them are not much worse than the regular forces of some countries in terms of combat effectiveness!

What's more, there is Japanese support behind them.

If the mercenaries fail to rebel, the Bulgarians are likely to give up, anyway, their investment is small and they can stop loss at any time!

This is no more influential than letting the Bulgarian government send troops directly!

If it is to send troops directly, it will be different. Even if the Bulgarian government does it for its own sake, it must suppress the rebellion.

Be aware that there are a series of political factors behind the Southeast Asian colony insurgency.

The Dutch government is pretty good. Anyway, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has long since fallen.

Anyway, the British Empire is supporting me. What is the record of the British army this time?

How could it not be used as a politician?

After the background of the British Empire was added, the Dutch people felt that the government had worked hard, and the Dutch army's record on the battlefield was better than the world hegemon.

This is sufficient proof that the current government is capable.

The attention of the Dutch people has been attracted, which does not mean that the matter is over. The rebellion still has to be suppressed. Every time a day is delayed, the huge amount of money is lost!

"The Prime Minister, the mercenaries formed by the Bulgarians, can arrive in Southeast Asia in September and adapt to one month's weather conditions. After the rainy season ends, we just launch the attack. We must also prepare the necessary supplies in advance!" Said Robinson

"Well, how many people are there in Bulgaria?" Prime Minister Daan asked with concern.

"A total of four infantry divisions plus one air division, with a total strength of about 70,000." Robinson thought about it and said

"Is this a bit of an army? There is no tank armored unit, can this work?" Prime Minister Daan asked worriedly.

"The Prime Minister, the Bulgarians gave an explanation. They believe that in the jungle areas of Southeast Asia, our enemies are a group that has not yet evolved and does not need to be equipped with too much heavy firepower.

As for tank armored units, they are even less used. They think that our armored units in the Nanyang area are enough.

Their reasons convinced me that these armoured forces did not have a way to travel through the jungle, and that our enemies were just a group of indigenous people and were not capable of producing weapons and ammunition.

In this context, the rebel army needs the ability to be flexible, mobile, and capable of rapid assault. Although these heavy equipment are powerful, they are simply not enough for the enemy! Robinson explained

"Damn, then who asked us to send armored troops, who are the stupid reinforcements?" Prime Minister Daan said angrily

Obviously they have been confused, and it is obviously not normal to require heavy firepower reinforcements on a battlefield that does not require the use of these heavy weapons.

However, knowing and knowing, everyone has no intention to continue to study, it is nothing more than interests.

The army does not need these heavy equipment. How can these arms dealers make money in China? How do the people on this chain of interest make money?

These problems are well-known to them, but they have been made too angry this time.

Originally, the funding for the war was insufficient, and as a result, the money for weapons and equipment was well purchased, and most of it wasted on these heavy weapons.

As long as people with a slightly normal IQ know that there is a very serious fool, all these so-called weapons and equipment are all piles of goods, purely for the purpose of cheating money.

I went to the battlefield for a walk, and then they were reasonably scrapped, and then all the relevant personnel, from front-line officers to weapon manufacturers, took a piece of money from it.

Therefore, Prime Minister Daan just caught an officer and scolded him, and gave him an idiot's hat. The officer's personal ability was not enough to expose the matter.

If you continue to track down, this will be dead. Although not many prime ministers were assassinated in the Netherlands, Prime Minister Daan did not want to test the interest of the group.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands itself is a small country and there are few wars. The domestic arms dealers have not had a good life. If they dare to cut off their only financial path, then they should not die.

This is not the case only in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but in many countries around the world.

Many people think that the arms trade is a huge profit, and this is true. But this is just a single piece of gross profit. In fact, their sales are not large, and the overall profit is not so abnormal.

Especially in small countries, their own domestic markets are very limited. In the international arms market, they cannot compete with the major powers.

If they encounter an arms race, they can indeed make a lot of money, and if they encounter the era of peace, they can only survive miserably.

Take the Kingdom of the Netherlands as an example. In peacetime, their army is less than 100,000. How big can this arms market be?

If the arms dealers do not sell these "valuable" big guys and sell rifles, how much is a 100,000 rifle?

It can be said that in this era, 100,000 rifles sold 100,000 pounds at the top of the sky. This is already a profit of two or three hundred. From the perspective of gross profit, this is indeed a huge profit.

(Reference: In January 1904, the "Sheep" government purchased 12,000 6.5 mm Meiji 30-year rifles, 2,000 carbines, and 7 million rounds of bullets;

There were 650 pistols and 130,000 rounds of ammunition; there were 48 Japanese wild cannons and 16 Japanese mountain cannons, which were the latest Japanese Meiji 31 ​​rapid-fire guns at that time with 25,856 rounds.

Together with accessories, ammunition carts, etc., a total of 1.2 million silver was spent. )

However, these rifles do not need to be replaced every year. In fact, it is very good to change 10% to 30% every year.

In other words, the annual sales of rifles in the Netherlands by arms dealers are tens of thousands of pounds.

If it is replaced with a tank, a tank with supporting facilities can sell thousands of pounds, and the profits of both parties are not at the same level.

In short, arms dealers who sell firearms do not make much money, unless they catch up with the World War, they can still go.

If in peacetime, at this point in sales, after removing labor, machinery maintenance costs, and production costs, almost no money will be made, and losses will often occur.

In this context, the arms dealers will naturally push the governments of various countries to upgrade their weapons and equipment, and every time they reload, they make a profit.

This is also the reason why in many countries, it is not suitable to use certain equipment, and regardless of the actual situation, a large number of equipment is provided.

"So what about the military strength? Now that the rebels in our Nanyang colony are in the millions, do the Bulgarians think that it can be done with only 70,000 troops?" It seems almost cursed, Daan asked again

"This ~~" Robinson hesitated a little, not knowing if he should continue

"Say, there are no outsiders here, and it won't be passed on!" Prime Minister Daan broke his concerns

"Bulgarians think that our rebels are slightly problematic. They suggested that we use the navy to block the rebels from the outside world and isolate the rebels on each island!

With our troops in the Nanyang region, plus these 70,000 mercenaries, it is more than enough to deal with the rebels on any island alone, and they recommend breaking them one by one!

Now that the islands occupied by the rebels are establishing power, the rebels have also emerged from the jungle. As long as the army defeats their main force, these people will immediately flee.

We can slowly annihilate. As long as we strictly control the arms trade in the colonies, without ammunition replenishment, these rebels will be dragged to death! Robinson organized the language and said

Everyone's faces are ugly, although not explicitly stated, in fact this is also saying that they are too crap, and a simple strategy cannot be formulated.

Heaven and earth conscience, they are all pure politicians. Those who use soldiers to fight against God are given priority in political considerations.

Politically speaking, when they first started their insurgency, these islands were only insurgents in some areas, and of course they should be destroyed at the same time.

Otherwise, the rebellion on this island will be wiped out, and that island will be completely occupied.

The situation is no longer the same, basically they are all fallen, they don't need to care about political influences anyway, they will not be worse than the current situation anyway.

However, everyone is an old churros, and they soon reacted. As long as they can annihilate the rebellion and solve the big trouble now, I'll say it!

"Then let's do this. The Ministry of Finance will raise a sum of money as soon as possible. We must prepare the logistics materials first. Don't arrive at the end because the materials are not in place and delay the rebellion process!" Daan said unchanged.

London

Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was about to be mad. The performance of the British Army had already thrown the face of the British Empire into his pants.

Similar to the performance of the British army in Southeast Asia during World War II in history, it was dubbed by the London media as "smell at the enemy and run away!"

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, the performance of the British Army did fail. Can't you beat the rebels when the forces are equal and the firepower is dominant?

Even if the Japanese are mixed in the rebels, this should not be the normal performance of the British army!

The international media have equated the British Army and the Italian Army, and their existence is to refresh the bottom line of the fighting power of the great powers!

These are the problems that ordinary people see. The real reason is very clear. That is, the British army's adaptability is too poor. They have not been able to adapt to fighting in the unique geographical environment of Southeast Asia.

The most obvious sign is a large number of non-combat reductions. Many British officers and men have lay down before they even entered the battlefield.

It seems that this is a reincarnation, and Churchill sent them to death in history, and this time there is no exception.

These issues are not important now.

Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin now has the most headache is who should be sent to rebel. The civil servants don't have to think about it. Even if he dares to send, some people dare to go?

The few remaining generals in the British Army who made great achievements visited him in person, and no doubt they were rejected.

Suppressing the colonial rebellion is obviously a chore. Winning is the right thing to lose, and losing is your incompetence.

Coupled with the policy of unloading and killing donkeys consistently implemented by the British Cabinet, no one is willing to jump into this fire pit, and even if he has repeatedly promised it, it will not help.

These celebrities are unwilling to do so, they can only promote newcomers. The British army is not unavailable, but too many people are available.

What about the end of the world war? The British Army is not much else now, that is, there are many generals, and there are more than 500 officers in the rank of Brigadier General or above.

Don't be surprised, there are many generals in various countries around the world. Like the British Army, it also mobilized millions of people and hundreds of colonial divisions.

Many of these troops are in the plan and have not had time to go to the battlefield, but they do not affect the existence of their officers, do they?

A teacher, how can it be a brigadier? Come back in a circle on the battlefield, and you will become a major general!

If military achievements are made, then the deputy division commander and chief of staff will also become major generals, and higher-ranking officers need not be said. Even the brigadiers and regiments below become brigadiers.

After the end of the World War, the British Army gave birth to more than 2,000 Brigadier Generals and above officers.

With so many personnel, who has the stronger military capabilities and who has the worse military capabilities, is this what Stanley Baldwin can know?

If he knew, there would be no defeat, and the Southeast Asian rebellion would have been extinguished long ago.

"My Excellency Prime Minister, I think Major General Archibald Percival Weaver is good. He is now a recognized genius general in the Army. His ability to fight the United States has also been recognized by colleagues from all over the world. ! "The Secretary of the Army suggested

"You mean that Cyclops?" Stanley Baldwin asked

"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" The Secretary of the Army replied

"He is a candidate recommended by your army, so is there anything special about our one-eyed dragon general?" Stanley Baldwin asked

"My Excellency, our Army is a group of black people, you know, even the most basic training is lacking, and Major General Weville is the most capable general in our army!

At the same time, he has a strong ability to respond to changes. In all the exercises, he performed very well and was recognized by everyone!

To this end, I have also consulted a number of generals in the country, and they all think that Vewell is the most suitable candidate! The Secretary of the Army thought about it and said

"Well then, let this one-eyed dragon general try first, I hope he can bring us good luck!" Stanley Baldwin rubbed his forehead and said

"Relax, Your Excellency Prime Minister! No matter what, it will not be worse than at present, at least General Weaver can train us a elite soldier!" The Secretary of the Army comforted

The main reason for this situation is that after the end of the World War, in order to avoid the expansion of the military's influence, the British cabinet tried to send back all the generals who had made great achievements ~ www.readwn.com ~ Family.

Often these people who have achieved military success are also the most capable in the British army. After these people are retired, the remaining people are either average or have not grown up.

Otherwise, such a battle will not take place under the command of a major general. Anyway, it is also hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if a marshal is sent, the British Empire will not be able to take it out.

It's just that their civil service system is leading all of this. Naturally, these people can't make outstanding achievements and have an extraordinary influence in the army.

The dispute between culture and warfare is indispensable, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. Stanley Baldwin's cabinet has just caught up, and the Southeast Asian rebellion has exposed the aftermath of civilian leaders.

The **** decides the head, knows how to know, but do not expect that Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin will change all this. In order to create such a political structure, a king in Britain was sent to the guillotine, which defeated the influence of the army!

How could he now drive back in history?

(Remarks: Archibald Percival Weaver (born May 5, 1883-May 24, 1950), during World War II, the Italian army was destroyed by 300,000 troops with 50,000 troops in Africa. The enemy is famous for 130,000.

Later, due to Churchill's blind command, he lost to Rommel. He was transferred to the Southeast Asia Theater Command, and due to lack of combat readiness, and the intervention of Mr. Churchill, he was defeated by the Japanese Southern Army Temple.

One of his eyes was blinded in World War I, so he was nicknamed "One-Eyed Dragon". )
