Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 474: Form Mutation

"What, our people came from Warsaw. In Warsaw, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's army began to slowly integrate together." Nicholas II was a little surprised, and his expression became solemn.

In the past six months, although Tsarist Russia has begun to mobilize troops from all directions, in the end, it can only mobilize a maximum of about 1.3 million troops in the southeast, and this will include the Balkan Peninsula, Romania and Ukraine. The total of 400,000, other places are also taking precautions, and the news coming now is that Berlin may be in contact with Vienna again. Obviously, the German Empire's attitude of wanting to get involved has not changed much. .

If the German Empire intervenes, not to mention directly deploying troops, but directly deploying additional troops in Poland, Lithuania, etc., the final result will be an increase in military pressure on Tsarist Russia. This is something that the current Tsar needs to pay attention to, and Prevention.

Damn it, how could things have changed so much? If it had been a few years ago, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire had dared to act like this, they would have been beaten to Vienna long ago.

"Damn Spain, if they hadn't violated Tsarist Russia's majesty over the years, how could these countries dare to confront Tsarist Russia? That guy Alfonso is such a fucking bastard." Several other people stood aside without saying a word. Whoever goes up at that time will become the target of the cannon. For old foxes like them, this kind of thing will never be done by them. Although Stolypin is loyal to Tsarist Russia. But it doesn't necessarily mean that he is such a stupid and loyal person. There are still relatively few Yue Fei in the world.

To be honest, Nicholas II actually admired Alfonso XIII's decisiveness very much. As a powerful king, every decision he made meant that the country would face the impact of such a decision. , whether it's good or bad, you have to bear it. Although he is sometimes grumpy, but. Among the many princes of that year. Becoming the last heir to the Russian tsar already represented his ability.

It was just that with the gradual expansion of Tsarist Russia over the years, he finally became a little arrogant. Stolypin and several others began to follow him before many heirs broke out. . These people are his team. It is also the main reason why he has been able to continue to rule the country in his position over the years. For them, he gave absolute trust. It's just that in peacetime, it is necessary to suppress the other faction. Pobedonoschaev and Stolypin are the leaders of these two factions.

Finance Minister Witte and Interior Minister Plevi also worked with Nicholas II for many years. Although the two people usually engage in extreme confrontations, Nicholas II didn't understand that these two people were only looking after the development of Tsarist Russia. Therefore, many times, he did not blame them. On the contrary, he even blamed them more than before. , he favored them even more. After all, the disagreement between the two people made him feel more comfortable sitting on the throne than the unity of opinion.

"Your Majesty, this is bad, we are all finished."

Ignoring Nicholas II's sudden change, the military intelligence officer who quickly walked in continued with a pale face: "This morning, the three seaports of our Black Sea Fleet were severely attacked simultaneously, and Odessa, the Black Sea Fleet The headquarters was completely wiped out, and the port of Sevastopol, where another squadron was located, was also seriously attacked. There was not much of the fleet left. But now Novorossiysk's light navy is better, with only about 70% damage. ."

"What? Only lost 70%? Such a number should be described as better." Nicholas II was so angry that he fainted. Everyone in the room screamed, and the entire summer palace fell into In panic.

April 12, 1913, is a day worth remembering.

While everyone was talking about many things, in March, Sun Wen from the Far East returned to Guangzhou from Japan, preparing to carry out an operation to overthrow Yuan. The consequence was that in April, in the Far East, Yuan Shikai fought against Yuan Shikai in order to obtain funds. Sun Wen's South signed a loan contract for the aftermath of the crisis with a consortium of banks from Britain, France, Germany, Spain, the United States, and Japan. The signing of this contract meant that China's northern government had officially become a debtor of all the major empires in the world. , which also means that people in the northern region have officially become slaves of these countries to absorb nutrients.

While people in these countries were talking about the calculation of the interest earned by the government this time, the news spread from the Black Sea shocked the whole world to a certain extent. It even caused more than 100 people in the world. Widespread fear.

In the early morning of local time, during the farewell, many officers and soldiers of the Tsarist Russian Navy were not alert, and the country's important naval port unexpectedly found an unusual replacement.

The Black Sea has always been the sea area with the most direct contact between the Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia. This huge lake is huge enough to be described as a sea. It was surrounded by Tsarist Russia to the east and north, the Ottoman Empire to the south, and Romania and Bulgaria in the west. Romania's coastal strip was very small. It has always been very quiet here. It can be said that this sea area has always been very peaceful.

The same is true for Tsarist Russia’s troops stationed in various places, especially the main naval base of the army on the Black Sea, which is in the southern city of Odessa in Ukraine. In addition, there are Novorossiysk and Sevastopol, the three port cities. It is now the main port of Tsarist Russia’s Black Sea Navy. In the Black Sea, in addition to these three military ports of Tsarist Russia, there are several other ports that are important and excellent military ports. One of them is Constanta in Romania. This port is an important life port in Romania and is the country's small port. The home port of the fleet was also one of the ports where Tsarist Russia did not patrol the Black Sea.

In addition, there are the Bulgarian ports of Burgas and Varna. These two ports are one of the most important ports on the Black Sea, because they are located on the edge of the Black Sea out of the Mediterranean Sea, except for Istanbul. The most important port.

After that, these ports are the most important naval ports in the Black Sea, and they are also the most suitable for docking the navy. In addition to these, there are actually many ports, but they have not been discovered, such as Jidai in the Ottoman Empire. Located in the middle of the Black Sea, it is the most balanced Black Sea. Its geographical location is similar to that of Crimea. The same is true for Samsun, Orshe, etc., but the current Ottoman Empire does not have so much funds for development. These are just ports.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is not cost-effective to develop these ports in the Mediterranean. After all, with the conflict with Tsarist Russia, the cost of development is not directly proportional to the subsequent benefits. For the Ottoman Empire, this is not a good deal. Not a good deal right now. So these excellent undeveloped ports were delayed.

However, this does not mean that these ports are not useful. On the contrary, this is actually a place for stealth subversion of the best in other countries.

This sneak attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet and other Russian naval forces was the result of the fact that the secrets of these ports had not been paid attention to.

“A shocking reversal, what’s the answer to the mystery?” The headline of the Swiss newspaper International Wired carried this headline, which attracted the attention of many people.

"The reason why Tsarist Russia was successfully attacked this time was because not long ago, the Ottoman Empire actually agreed to let the Austro-Hungarian Empire lease several small ports in the country's central and eastern parts. Therefore, this time the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is far away from the Black Sea, unexpectedly , successfully sunk more than 90% of the combat ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and this is not the latest news. This newspaper also received the latest news before publishing.

According to the news just received, at three o'clock this morning, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with the help of these ports, had quickly occupied the Romanian shore of Constanta under a sudden attack by landing ships and other ships. With the help of surface ships, it had firmly occupied the eastern coast of Romania, and it is said that the Royal Guards of Hungary and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are about to fall towards the east and south respectively. For Tsarist Russia, it is now time to test them. I don’t know, what will be the final result of this battle? This will be something that the world is paying serious attention to. "

With the appearance of the article "International Wire", the whole world was quickly shocked. This reason and news shocked many politicians, especially those in Tsarist Russia, Britain and the United States. Many people were related to the Ottoman Empire and the United States. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was not a friendly country. Only then did they realize the truth of the matter, and finally found out that these countries were actually connected, especially the United Kingdom. The British government paid great attention to the occurrence of this incident.

The combination of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire actually produced such an effect. This was absolutely shocking to the British. In fact, such an effect was what the British had been planning for a long time, and they had been slowly moving forward. middle.

However, the Ottoman Empire is still supporting it desperately, which makes it extremely difficult for Britain to move forward. As long as it enters the Black Sea, the current situation of Tsarist Russia and Britain will be somewhat different. By then, Tsarist Russia will have to really bow its head in front of Britain. After all, In the face of Britain's invincible navy, after entering Tsarist Russia's back garden, the threats they faced were absolutely impossible for Tsarist Russia to truly deal with. This is also the reason why Britain has been protecting Greece to take advantage of its geographical location, in order to gain a geographical location that can contain Tsarist Russia.

This time, the result that the UK wanted was achieved. However, it was a pity that it was not achieved through the British promotion. Therefore, although the UK was relieved about this, its allies who jointly dealt with the German Empire were hit hard, so the UK still made a superficial move. Kung Fu condemned this action.
