Chapter 1671: Strategy One

Chapter 1671 Strategy 1

"What about our assets in Murmansk?" Esquith asked.

"According to our agreement with the Russians, we have deployed a certain amount of troops there. They will protect the precious supplies of the British Empire and hand them over to the right people," Lloyd George said.

"Very well, if the chaos can end before next spring, then we can still contain a large number of German troops on the Eastern Front." Asquith nodded.

In fact, the British have been preparing for the "funeral affairs" of the Normanov dynasty for a long time. In the eyes of the British, the Russian government can be finished, but the war must continue! The British have established contact with some people in Russia. After the latter promises to establish a bourgeois republic, as long as the British continue to provide assistance and recognition, they can continue to stand on the side of the Allies. This situation is completely similar to history. Historically, after the February Revolution, the bourgeois government established was also willing to continue fighting.

As for food and industrial issues? Hehe, what should I say about this? Historically, the Russian Civil Revolutionary War was fought for a long time. It's just dead people, and for the British, does it have anything to do with how many Russians die?

Of course, only relying on blocking and supporting new spokesmen can only guarantee the continuation of the war. And if you want to win, then you need to work hard elsewhere, don't think about Germany, the British can't get in, neither the German government nor the bourgeoisie who want to make trouble, they can't accept the British The olive branch that ran over, so now, the only thing that can be tempted is the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

Of course, the so-called mind-boggling is definitely not for Austria, but for Hungary! When Hungary fell into internal and external difficulties, the British saw an opportunity, an opportunity to force the Austro-Hungarian Empire to withdraw from the war, and even blow up this important ally to pieces! And if the Austro-Hungarian Empire is kneeling, I am afraid that the Germans should really think about how to go in the future, right?

"We have established contact with the Hungarian government. We provide them with some supplies and equipment. After suppressing the domestic rebellion, they declare independence. At least in the name of the Hungarian Parliament, they will refuse to participate in this war. And will Trying to influence the Austrian government," Lloyd George said.

Some people may ask, how to transport things made in the UK to Hungary? This has to say that the British have a broad mind and a wild way! In order to ensure the success of their plan, the British contacted the Italians this time...

Although in this plane, Italy is almost adhering to neutrality, but there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, the contradiction between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is difficult to reconcile, maybe not as good as France and Germany, but with deep hatred It's not enough to describe it! Even if it is neutral, if there is a chance to severely injure this enemy of yourself,

The Italians still have to stab twice!

So, on this issue, the Italians and the British hit it off! What could be better for Italy than to split the Austro-Hungarian Empire? If the Austro-Hungarian Empire fell into a civil war, I might still get some benefits from the collapsed territory of Austro-Hungary!

Therefore, Italy and the British are very cooperative on this issue. The British provide funds, and the Italians provide materials (the British pay the bill). Then, Italy will use its status as a neutral country to transport materials to areas controlled by Hungary to support the Hungarian government’s domestic efforts. The suppression of the rebellion!

If only this is achieved, then the British's diplomacy and strategy are already considered very good, and they can score 75 points, but how can it be possible for the Dangdang British Empire to only have this level? The British choose to do better!

In order to reduce the pressure on the Hungarian government, the British government even found the leaders of the Romanians through various channels, on the condition of ensuring the territorial integrity of Romania after the war, in exchange for a compromise between the Romanians and the Hungarians! In this way, once there is no war pressure with the Romanians, the situation in Hungary will be much better! After adding this item, the British's strategic layout can score 90 points this time! 10 points less, because I am afraid that you will be proud...

As for the Hungarian government, if it can subdue the national independence movement in the country, what will it do next? The British also thought about them! What is certain is that if Hungary can survive this catastrophe, then the relationship between Vienna and Budapest will never return to the original level! After realizing that the so-called dual empire cannot make itself safer and get more, then Hungary really has the possibility of independence! After all, if independent, Hungary would also be a big European country with 300,000 square kilometers!

As for what will happen after independence? Then it has little to do with the British. If Hungary remains within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then the two sides will definitely argue about status issues, and as hedgehogs huddled together for warmth, the armies of both sides must be wary of each other. In this case, the Austrian army The possibility of entering the Western Front will be greatly reduced. However, this is the most unlikely outcome!

So what is the most likely outcome? Naturally, Hungary became independent, and then Austria fought Hungary in order to maintain the unity of the empire! That's right, a battle between the two sides will be inevitable! It is certainly impossible for Austria to allow the provinces of Hungary to separate from the empire neatly, and even the Germans may intervene in this war, and the Bavarian Army may bear the brunt.

As for the result? The British guessed that the biggest possibility was that Hungary was beaten to pieces, and Austria was also exhausted. In order to ensure its own domestic stability, the Germans might have to provide some military support. The Bavarian Army and the Bohemian Army may suspend their journey to the Western Front. At this time, if the Russian government on the Eastern Front can perform better at this time, the Allied Powers' invasion of the Eastern Front may be reduced a lot, so that the situation will not become so bad. On this basis, the Allied Powers may not be unable to achieve a decent result-maintaining the national boundaries before the war. That's right, so far, the British don't have the confidence to completely kill Germany now!

"How is our current plan going?" asked the prime minister.

"The large amount of firearms and ammunition we provided for the Hungarian Legion has arrived, and our attached military and liaison personnel have also started working, but the feedback is not good." Lloyd George said carefully.

"You mean, the Hungarians are playing tricks on us?" Prime Minister Asquith said, frowning.
