Compared with the clear strategic goals of the Allies, the strategies of the Allies are a little awkward!
As the boss of the Germans, they are still confused, taking the biggest enemy as a French, and preparing to overthrow France again to dominate the Big 6!
The remaining two younger brothers are still fighting each other, and the Italians are still staring at the territories of Austria and Hungary. Although the Germans work hard to reconcile them, this contradiction still exists!
Similarly, the Italians are also staring at their prospective ally, the Ottoman Empire, and even the half-ally Greek, Italians have expressed interest!
If you talk about pit cargo teammates, from ancient times to now, when pushing Italy, it is estimated that those who know the modern history of Europe will have no doubt!
Then there was the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Joseph I was still sober-headed. After annexing Serbia, he regretted it!
The ethnic contradictions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are already large enough, and endless internal contradictions have suppressed his desire to expand territory!
All in all, the performance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at this moment is still good, but their desire for war is really worrying!
Without the conflict in the Balkans, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has no desire to fight the Russians! Grab a site? Haven't the internal contradictions been resolved yet?
By then, the Hungarians showed a strong interest in Romania. Unfortunately, they are still allies, and the Vienna government will never tolerate them!
Take a look at Ferdinand. Although the three-nation alliance is still strong on the Big 6 in Europe, their internal contradictions are heavy. The Germans are not British and French and have not been able to resolve the internal contradictions through diplomatic means!
Therefore, even if the current allies are more united than in history, their core is still German.
Austria-Hungary and Italy each have their own plans, and even they are not so willing to see the Germans dominate the Big 6!
...
Time flies by, and it's Christmas again. On this day, the whole country is on holiday. Ferdinand is playing with the Christmas tree with four little guys.
Oh, it 's the eldest son and the second son who are helping, Caesar is in charge of making troubles, and the third son, Peter, is waving a flag and clapping to cheer, like a winning general, but Ferdinand is not a little angry!
The king's son is not so good. Caesar Jr. still has a good year or two, and Peter is his last happy time. He will soon follow in the footsteps of the two elder brothers and feel what is elite. Noble education!
Ferdinand had to be fortunate. Fortunately, the family has a deep foundation and has a rigorous education system for future generations. Basically, he has been rigorously trained since childhood, and there will be no waste when he grows up!
Usually this kind of training is often targeted at the eldest son, so there are also many things that happen after the eldest son has an accident.
But when he came to Ferdinand, he decided directly that all sons should receive the same education!
In the future, a few kingdoms will be stirred up overseas and thrown out as kings. This way, even if there is any change in the future, the Saxony-Coburg-Gotha-Kohali family can maintain a prominent position. !!
Oh, this is all for the future. Now let 's enjoy the joy of heaven!
But Ferdinand was quickly attracted by a message!
"Your Majesty, the Sofia has been completed, and you can start sea trials at any time. We have our own Dreadnought!" Xiang Konstantin said somewhat incomparably.
"What?" Ferdinand said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, we are the second country in the world with a Dreadnought!" Constantine said excitedly.
After repeated confirmation, Ferdinand finally determined that this thing is true! Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, Bulgaria began preparations in advance and finally replaced Germany as the world's second country with a fearless ship!
I believe this news will spread the world and soon shock the world!
Maybe it 's not too surprising in the upper levels of countries. After all, they know that Bulgaria 's fearless ship started construction in the first half of 19o7, and with the technical support of Gaul chicken, it is not surprising that it can be created!
But ordinary people don't know! They will only be shocked by the power of Bulgarian industry and lament the power of Bulgaria!
Although this kind of civil recognition cannot increase Bulgaria's hard power, it can increase soft power! And what the Bulgarian government lacks now is precisely this soft power!
"Okay! The sea trial ceremony is set for three days. Now we will announce the news and invite ministers from all countries to participate in this event!" Ferdinand said with some excitement.
He knew that as soon as the news came out, this Christmas would change, and the whole world would be shocked by it!
After all, in everyone's perception, the second fearless ship should be French, German, and no matter how bad it is, Russians, Austria-Hungarians, Italy, and even Americans are within their guesses!
The second country capable of building a fearless ship is Bulgaria? The first reaction of a normal person is that this is impossible!
What the **** is Bulgaria? God 's back garden, I heard where the roses are good, that's it!
Although Bulgaria has risen after the Balkan War, its international influence is limited to the Near East, and its popularity in the world is still so unknown!
...
In fact, due to the backwardness of news transmission in this era, in addition to the Bulgarian people at Christmas, other countries have only received the news from the upper levels. After receiving the news, ordinary people have no idea how long!
...
As the news spread, Sofia was lively first, of course, it was already very lively at Christmas! This news undoubtedly adds another joy!
The first reaction of many people is today's April Fool's Day? Although everyone knows that Bulgaria has launched the Dreadnought program, no one can believe that it was completed so soon!
You know that so many countries in the world now have the technology in the British, and the Bulgarian fearless ship is coming too fast!
From the beginning of the War of Independence, until now After two generations of unremitting efforts, the dream of a great nation is finally about to be realized!
Of course, this is not yet a dream of a great country in Ferdinand's mind. He is very clear that Bulgaria is only the first step and the road ahead is long!
History tells him that if a country does not have enough territory and enough people, he will never become a true great country!
Can half of the Balkan Peninsula support a powerful country? The answer is no!
Even the entire Balkan Peninsula can only support at most one regional power. This is parallel time. The British and the French have proved this with practical actions!
The ideal country in Ferdinand's mind is that it contains ...
