346 The Ottoman War Returns(1/2)
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the cabinet ministers stood in formation and bowed in unison with a smile on their faces.
This has become the signboard ceremony of the Li Wei imperial meeting.
Anyway, every decision of the great Roman emperor was extremely wise!
Whoever dares to say that it is not, he is a traitor and wants to be arrested and shot a hundred times!
The next voice of the Roman Empire is this effect.
Of course, Li Wei can achieve such perfection, but he still depends on the assistance of the golden finger of the total war system.
Britain, the Pudong, Russia and other insignificant European countries all touched the whole body.
Since Li Wei said that Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland will remain unchanged, the next target will naturally not be the country here.
The current Roman Empire declares war on any country in Europe, and will be collectively declared by other European countries!
The Roman Empire was too huge and it was really impossible to expand it anymore!
As for diplomatic efforts, in the face of the situation in Europe at this time, it was like taking off your pants and farting. As long as the ruler who was not trying to kneel down and lick Levi's soles, he would not choose to form an alliance with the Roman Empire.
The reason why the three great powers of Britain and Ireland, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Russian Empire did not form a military alliance was just to not stimulate the Roman Empire.
After all, Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland are fighting against the Qing Empire, which is thousands of miles apart. The Kingdom of Prussia is completing the reserve system for national mobilization. The people are very disgusted with the reserve training that is not paid. The Kingdom of Prussia is gritting its teeth and suppressing it!
The Russian Empire was resuming domestic production and slowly repaying the loan interest of the last war...
“We already have a fleet in the Mediterranean that is enough to match the Royal British Navy, and I think it’s time to launch a war against Asia Minor and defeat the Ottoman Empire.
Asia Minor is the land where the Ottoman Empire made its fortune and its core territory. If we occupy it, the Ottoman Empire will be completely eliminated.”
"Your Majesty, although the Ottoman Empire has weak combat power, it has a vast territory and a very complex ethnic composition. If it occupies Asia Minor, it will inevitably require a large number of troops to be stationed. After all, there are finally many people in the Ottoman Empire, and most of them are pagans, which are difficult to govern."
"It doesn't matter, our strategic goal is to occupy Asia Minor while allowing the Ottoman Empire to surrender to the Roman Empire and become a vassal state of the Roman Empire.
A vassal state that maintains independent sovereignty.
There are powerful enemies around us, so I will naturally not waste too much troops to equalize the mess left by the Ottoman Empire.
All the pagan populations in Asia Minor were forced to migrate to the territory of the Ottoman Empire as a reward for their allegiance."
"Your Majesty, what should I do if the Ottoman Empire is tough?"
"Then keep fighting!
Fight eastward to the border line of the Persian Empire, and then southward to occupy the Arabian Peninsula.
If the Ottoman Empire wants to destroy the country, we will take down all the last North African territory of the Ottoman Empire."
When Li Wei said this, he suddenly paused: "As the Liberator!"
As we all know, the land of the Ottoman Empire's own ethnic group is mainly the Asia Minor Peninsula. Other territories include the Arab region, Greater Syria, and North Africa. They are all subsequent conquests, filled with a large amount of land for the survival of other ethnic groups that have been discriminated and exploited.
On these lands, the rule of the Ottoman Empire was not popular. The Roman Empire only needed to defeat the local Ottoman regime and could easily dissolve the long-term rule of the Ottoman Empire here as a liberator.
There is no need to leave one soldier or one soldier to garrison.
Therefore, as long as the Ottoman Empire is not a brainless person, he will definitely not fight to the end with the Roman Empire.
If even Asia Minor's territory could not be kept, the Ottoman Empire would not be an opponent of the Roman Empire in other territories. If it does not surrender, would it be true that it would be waiting to destroy the country?
It is actually not difficult to maintain long-term stability in the territory of Asia Minor as long as you act more roughly.
By forcibly migrating the pagans there and introducing some Catholic whites from Europe, they can control the place.
No matter what race the migrated whites were, they could only rely on the Roman Empire government, regardless of their previous race, and the remaining Christians were unable to fight against the Roman authorities, whether they were active or passive.
Those white Christians who migrated here would become the most loyal supporters of the Roman Empire, and they had no right to choose!
In this way, the pressure on ethnic conflicts within the Roman Empire can also be reduced.
As for the massacre, it seems to be a very simple method, but it is a method that is least efficient and easily causes a rebound.
The reason is very simple. People are often forced to an extreme after they have no hope of living.
If the pagans heard the orders of migration, there would not be many people who stood up to resist.
If you hear the order that you will be slaughtered, as long as you are not a coward, you will stand up and resist!
At that time, the Roman Empire had to station large troops here and go to war with the guerrillas all day long.
The victorious side will certainly belong to the Roman Empire, but how can the Roman Empire, which was involved in a large number of troops, use troops to other directions?
Other European countries will never miss this opportunity. They will inevitably fund the guerrillas that resisted the Roman Empire, causing the Roman Empire to fall deeper and deeper in the ocean of people's war.
Then, when those European powers saw the opportunity, the fifth anti-French alliance broke out.
What?
You said that it is the Roman Empire now, why does an anti-French alliance still appear?
Haha, the Roman Empire was self-proclaimed by the Li Wei regime, and no sovereign state in Europe recognizes it!
In newspapers from continental countries, Levi is still called the French tyrant.
The European powers never gave up on the idea of driving Li Wei back to France.
After all, anti-French and anti-Roman have completely different political significance for European countries.
Li Wei did not adopt a massacre policy, just because doing so would be harmful to him or not.
Even if we really want to engage in genocide in the future, we have to wait until there are no powerful enemies around us.
Suppressing the rebellion while dealing with external enemies is the most dying decision.
In history, how many powerful countries have suffered from internal and external troubles?
Germany in World War I was not defeated by the Allies, but was overthrown by the revolutionary party in the country!
Of course, the Tsar in World War I also ended this way.
The reason why the Germans dared to launch war again in World War II was the pit left behind by World War I.
Because during World War I, the German mainland was not invaded. If the government in power after the revolution was not politically defrauded by the American president and played with applause, the millions of German troops would not have put down their weapons and surrendered.
As a result, after Germany lost its armed forces, the German people realized how stupid the revolutionary government was...
It is not difficult to understand that the German government was not well-known at that time and was succeeded by the bearded man who later became the leader.
The economic crisis is just a fuse to intensify the hatred of the Germans.
It was precisely because after World War I that the Germans felt that they were not defeated but deceived that the situation in which Germany started the war in World War II was invaded.
Then, at the end of World War II, Germany was completely broken...
If Germany was self-disarmed in World War I, Germany, and Germany, even its underwear was lost.
Some people may refute that before the end of World War II, the German army still had hundreds of thousands of field troops, which had the power to fight.
However, looking at the military strength of the Allied forces at that time, you will know why the remaining German troops surrendered.
Whether it is equipment or troops, Germany, which fell from the capital, has no hope of turning the tables, even if it is just a glimmer of hope!
After all, the German army at that time was not a brainwashed loyal army.
Compared with the landing war against the British Isles, the landing war plan against the Asia Minor Peninsula is much simpler.
The Mediterranean fleet of the Roman Empire could completely wipe out the Ottoman navy first, and then transport the army and various war materials to the Asia Minor Peninsula little by little.
The landing Roman Guards will have sufficient logistics supplies and support forces that will be sufficient to level Asia Minor.
Relying on the Istanbul Strait, which is now renamed the Constantinople Strait, the Roman Guards can quickly land and fight.
Even if Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland suddenly declared war and attacked the Mediterranean fleet of the Roman Empire that blocked the strait, the Roman Guards that landed at that time were enough to sweep the weak Ottoman Empire.
What's more, the main energy of Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland is now devoted to the Far East, and the probability of participating in the war between the Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire is not high.
In 1808, Vienna had received news from the Far East.
Major General KFC was finally limited by a long distance after obtaining a series of military victories.
As the front line continued to lengthen, the Qing court gathered more and more troops, and the expeditionary force led by Major General KFC was already powerless. According to the news received by Li Wei, Major General KFC had to give up Jiangning Prefecture under the heavy pressure of the Qing army and retreat to Guangdong city.
This was taken by Major General KFC to retreat, and he didn't want to see his retreat be cut off.
As a result, the war between the two sides was in a deadlock.
The London government also seems to be bored by the expensive Far East war and is discussing a truce.
As for the ceasefire conditions proposed by Major General KFC, it was naturally rejected.
The Qing Empire was too far away, and the London government felt pressure on the fight of less than 10,000 Indian soldiers.
If trade profits and compensation can be obtained, the London government will be happy.
Of course, the best result is to seize a Far East stronghold and threaten the Qing court at all times to prevent them from suddenly changing their minds.
The credibility of the Qing court was very low in the eyes of Europeans.
In the eyes of white people, those Eastern people have no contractual spirit at all!
The negotiated tariffs can increase them in a blink of an eye!
