Chapter 959: Hidden dangers

Although Japan in this era is a bit arrogant, it is still reliable. In the last years of Meiji and the early days of Taisho, the politicians and strategists who emerged from the Japanese Reformation are still alive, although there are various internal struggles and many problems. , But overall it is much better than the Showa era, especially in terms of national strategy!

Although the conflict between the United States and Japan prematurely intensified because of Ruprecht’s operations, Japan has really gained a lot in terms of profit, and the Philippines’ output is more abundant than that of Taiwan in history. A lot! And Japan's national strength has also improved a lot, so it is said that if you lose your horse, you will know good fortune. Now, Japan, which is stronger than in history, clearly has greater ambitions. Especially this time, after the British acquiesced in Japan's occupation of part of the Dutch East Indies colonies, the ambitions of the Japanese high-levels expanded again! They are looking for the next goal! A goal that can get a lot of benefits without worrying about opposition from Britain and France!

There was once a proverb: "When you have more friends than your enemies, then you win." Akashi Genjiro forgot the source of this sentence, but he agreed with the viewpoint very much. He believed, It is impossible for any great power to succeed in the rise of a great power solely on its own.

Why can Italy be unified? In the Second War of Independence of Italy in 1859, could Italy win Austria without the help of the French? In the Third War of Independence in 1866, Italy chose Prussia as its ally, and the Prussian-Austrian War broke out that year! And when Germany won, Italy also won Venecia from the Austrian-Hungarian Empire! And finally completed the great cause of unification! Even the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, Count Cavour, believes that it is impossible to rely solely on Italy itself, and must rely on the international situation.

If it is used well, the dream of reunification can be realized even if trash is like Italy. Well, since weak countries need strategy and allies to succeed, do powerful countries need it? Naturally needed too! The rise of Prussia is an example! And from a strategic point of view, the difficulty of the rise of Prussia is not small at all, because the European hegemony at the time, France, could tolerate a unified Italy. Italy that did not agree was a vegetable chicken. If it was unified, it would be 5 vegetable chickens. The fighting power is limited and impossible. It affects the hegemony of France, but Germany and Prussia are different. After Blücher, Prussia cannot be regarded as a first-class power, right? But at least the second-class powers! How about dividing Poland with Russia? For this country that also has the potential for hegemony, France is on guard!

Compared with the less domestic problems during the unification of Italy, the internal problems faced by Prussia during the unification were too big, even bigger than the external problems. The current situation in Bavaria is a sequelae of the internal unification problems of Prussia. Prussia not only has to face the powerful France, but also Austria, which is also within the German system, and other kingdoms second only to Prussia and Austria! This is definitely not something that can be solved by hard fist. Think about it, if Prussia and France or Austria are in a fight, if Austria or France crosses the line, then Prussia will kneel down! Really think you have to pick two for nb? !

Akashi Genjiro admires Bismarck very much! Because the seemingly smooth military operations are actually very risky! The Prussian-Austrian War has another alias called "Seven Weeks War". What does it mean? Obviously, this war has been fought for seven weeks! It is impossible for Bismarck and Mochi to let this war last too long! Otherwise, let alone France and Russia may intervene, simply once the Kingdom of Bavaria decides to fulfill its obligation to send 100,000 troops between itself and Austria, then the situation in Prussia It's hard to say!

Although Prussia was victorious in the Battle of Koregnitz, Austria still had the ability to resist. If Prussia is persecuting too much at this time, then the end result is likely to be the interference of other countries that will cause Prussia to fall short. And even if Prussia wins this time, if Austria is allowed to bear revenge, then in the subsequent Franco-Prussian War, if Austria does it, Prussia will definitely not be able to stop it!

And not only can it not allow Austria to bear hatred, but also allow middle-class nations to accept Prussia, the future boss. This is why the entire German Empire will have one emperor and three kings. Although the result was not good, Bismarck had done its best, and after excluding Austria, Prussia had the capital to fight France. Thus finally completed the unification!

Therefore, no matter which country wants to truly rise, such superb diplomatic skills and sharp sabers are necessary. Does Japan have both of them now? The veterans of Japanese politics during the Meiji era believed that their diplomatic and strategic skills were enough, so now it's the saber. The navy's saber proved to be good, and it is also the third-level in the world, right? Japan has repaired the United States twice. As for challenging the two behemoths of Britain and Germany, forget it. No such ability. The United Kingdom will not talk about it. If it is purely Germany, if the German fleet led by Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria in Operation Thunder-Surbrus draws out a gesture, it will be enough for the Japanese to drink a pot...

Then when the Japanese executives are okay, they still think about www.wuxiaspot.com~ whether the army saber is easy to use? (Especially the Japanese Army pays more attention to this issue) Before the outbreak of the First World War, the Japanese Army was quite confident, after all, the Russians let them down. Isn't it a first-class level?

However, when the war really broke out, the Japanese suddenly discovered: "I rely on it, this tm is called a national war. The Bavarian and Bohemia regiments under the command of Bavarian Crown Prince Ruprecht are no bigger than the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War. Smaller, the equipment is a few higher grades! This tm is too terrible?! The army of a country can actually be higher than the Japanese empire!" In fact, the Japanese still overestimated their combat effectiveness. , The same division, the Bavarian division does not know where it is higher than the Japanese army!

After the first round of the Eastern Front, the Japanese were even more frightened, not only because the Bavarian Army defeated two Russian armies in one round, with a total of more than 400,000 troops. This is understandable for Japan. After all, the Bavarian Legion has many guns and guns, and there are hundreds of tanks. By the way, there are planes. Even now, the Japanese are still looking at their planes like a large kite in a daze, wondering how this thing works.
