The result of this naval battle was good news for Yang Feng, so that he could continue to keep his trade lines open.
However, this trade line is still full of uncertainties. After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire only has four battleships. The reason why it is able to hold the Strait of Otranto is entirely due to its geographical advantage. However, such an advantage is not reflected in the steady stream of British and French battleships arriving.
At present, it is difficult to say how long it can last.
It is true that six Guba-class ships cannot break their defense line, but six more ships are needed! There is also the variable of Italy. No one knows which side Italy will ultimately bet on. Even Yang Feng doesn't know.
If Italy joins the Allies as it historically did, then this line of defense will be meaningless.
During this period, Britain and France have not stopped lobbying Italy. It is hard to say whether the Italians will be swayed. After all, the issue between them and France is over. If Britain and France offer enough conditions, Italy may switch to the Allied Powers.
, they are just not optimistic about the direction of the wind yet.
The most important Balkan railway on land must pass through Bulgaria. In fact, Bulgaria is living the most difficult life now. Since this small country had its legs broken, it has begun to eat fast and chant Buddha without caring about worldly affairs. But it is a pity that this
This war kicked him into the Tyrannosaurus rex's playground.
Poor Ferdinand I struggled to deal with two, or rather three, groups during this period. There was the Ottoman Empire to the south of him. He was so tired that his hair was said to have turned white. If he really had a choice, he would probably rather pass through.
The section of railway in his own country was demolished. The Allied Powers Group asked him to prohibit the passage of any goods destined for Germany and Austria. The Russian Black Sea Fleet hung around the seaside every day and threatened with force. The Allied Powers Group threatened that if he dared to do so, then Austria-Hungary in Serbia would
The army went straight to Sofia and beat him.
The Ottoman Empire in the south watched indifferently and said nothing, but it was obvious that if he made a choice that dissatisfied Hamid II or Emperor Yang, the hundreds of thousands of Ottoman troops on the border would also beat him.
At this time, Bulgaria was really unable to resist the aggression of any party. During the Balkan War, the entire country's young and middle-aged people were almost dead, and there were many widows in the country. What could they do to resist the invasion? Therefore, since the beginning of the war, he and his cabinet can only move forward.
All parties are pretending to be pitiful and pretending to be grandsons, dragging on day by day.
They may feel that bullying such a country is too detrimental to their own image, so all parties have not pushed them too hard. In particular, the invasion of Romania has lost a lot of points to the Allied Powers, and Nicholas does not want to drag another enemy. Balkan Railway
Materials are still being transported to Germany and Austria, so Germany and Austria have no reason to attack, but then, transportation is often interrupted due to small reasons such as landslides, landslides, mudslides, and even sabotage by Serbian guerrillas.
Especially the latter is becoming more and more frequent.
The Bulgarian government is really helpless at this point. After the remaining tens of thousands of Serbian army troops were dispersed, they were all hiding in the mountains and forests on the Bulgarian border. Now Bulgarian power cannot expel them at all.
Therefore, this channel is very unsafe. Once both parties are annoyed by his little tricks, Bulgaria is bound to be destroyed. The difference is who does it, but no matter who does it, the result is that this country will become a battlefield.
.and then smash everything to pieces.
Therefore, Yang Feng must prepare another route, a route that can ensure safety.
A route that runs through Macedonia and then directly to Belgrade. Building a railway will definitely not work. It will take too long. There are only mountains and ditches. Maybe tunnels will have to be dug. By the time it is built, the war will be over and a similar road will be built.
That's all. They just need to widen and strengthen their original mountain roads, and then repair some bridges so that they can pass five-ton trucks.
Let Hamid II solve this task himself. This guy has made a lot of money recently as the captain of the transportation team. I think he is also willing to add another route, and for him it is nothing more than recruiting hundreds of thousands of migrant workers.
That's all.
After personally sending a telegram suggesting that Hamid II build a direct road to Belgrade in his country for future business, Emperor Yang put the matter behind him.
How can a big man like him have time to worry about such trivial matters? He can't cope with just a bunch of women now. Her Majesty the Empress of Russia has no intention of ending her visit, which makes Yang Feng's concubines seriously unhappy.
Especially this shameless woman, who does not consider the impact at all. No matter which city in China she visits, she must take Yang Feng to accompany her. Thinking that they are happy and happy in the sky, she must guard the empty room alone, even if it is Lin Luoke
Such a good temper is unbearable. Her Majesty the Queen has hinted many times, asking him to send that woman away quickly.
But the problem is that Alexandra just won’t leave, and Yang Feng has nothing to do. You must know that he is also making a contribution to the country. During this period, under the personal care of Her Majesty the Empress of Russia, Chinese companies and the Russian government even disclosed secrets.
Yes, a contract worth 500 million yuan was signed. Of course, the Russians had to pay with gold. These contracts alone can bring more than 100 tons of gold to Chinese companies, and this is just the beginning. Such orders will be placed in the future.
There will definitely continue to come. You must know that Nikolai's goal is to arm an army of six million people. With his little military production capacity, it is already very good to satisfy two million people.
Now that the United States is still under blockade, its two allies are also thinking about buying arms from China. They have no time to care about it. Apart from China, they have no place to buy.
For such a super big customer, one must serve her well and satisfy all her requests meticulously, even in bed. This can be regarded as a contribution to the country, at least Emperor Yang himself thought so.
However, unlike Her Majesty the Queen of Russia who showed her graceful and elegant royal demeanor in China, allowing the Chinese people to feel the magnanimity of a great nation from the far west, the Russian army on the front line did not make people feel the magnanimity of a great nation at all. In fact, the Russian army has just experienced
The worst defeat since the war began.
The first and second Russian armies that broke into East Prussia were encircled and annihilated by the German army in the Masurian Lake area, and suffered losses of more than 150,000 people. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to experience this defeat.
Later, the battlefield between Germany and Russia moved into Russia, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while. You must know that these two army groups are the main force of the Russian army. The standing army before the war should be considered the strongest in combat effectiveness. It is undoubtedly very surprising that they both achieved such a result.
Much to the dismay of pro-Russian observers.
And it’s not just the European battlefield, the Russian army is also having bad news in the Philippines. In order to cut off the fox’s logistical supply, the Russian army launched an attack on Negros Island with an army. This battle even brought in a division from Singapore.
With the full cooperation of the A San soldiers and the British Far East Fleet, tens of thousands of troops landed forcefully under the cover of the battleship's artillery fire, and then overwhelmingly defeated a Monkey Division that blocked them, and set foot on the island aggressively, on Panay Island in the distance.
In the eyes of the Chinese people, they began to sweep.
The Russian army, which had learned the lesson from the last time, acted step by step this time, advancing in division-based units, leaving no chickens or dogs behind wherever they passed, and soon successfully occupied most of the towns on the island, but unfortunately it was too late.
Then I fell into an endless nightmare. The monkeys who had long since dispersed and hid in the jungle were attacking the Russian army in various ways day and night. These guys did not engage in regular combat with the Russian army. They used mortars to bombard them in the dark.
They used black guns and even laid mines and set traps. In short, they took full advantage of their own conditions and treated the Russian soldiers as prey in the jungle.
Although the losses caused by such attacks to the Russian army would not be too great, the accumulation would be terrifying. The Russian army did not pay much attention to it at first. After occupying Negros Island, they were ready to continue their efforts to capture Cebu! As a result, various ministries
After counting the number of people, the Russian commander was frightened. In just one week, half of his brigade was gone. Moreover, this was when the main force of the Russian army was gathered together. If the main force had attacked Cebu, what would happen?
But those who stayed behind would disappear in less than a week.
Under this situation, he had no intention of attacking Cebu. He first cleaned up his occupied area, and then continued cleaning up endlessly.
The Russian army has a total of three armies in Luzon. When it attacked Negros Island, there was another division fighting the monkeys on Samar Island. In addition, some troops were still stationed on Mindoro Island. Now there is a whole army.
The army is trapped in Negros Island, which means that there is only a little more than one army left in Luzon, which gives the Luzon monkeys an opportunity.
Over the years, they have been living a hard life under the brutal oppression of the Russian army. It would be true to say that there is no hatred at all. Moreover, the Philippine People's Liberation Army led by Aguinaldo and Liu Hengzhu has always been active in the south, because there are Panay Island and the Germans.
The territory can be retreated. These people suddenly appear from time to time, making the Russians nervous. How can the fox not make good use of it in this situation? With the help of Chinese businessmen, these two guys who had disappeared for more than a year have returned.
Reappeared in southern Luzon and raised the anti-Russian banner.
However, the return of the two men this time was different from the previous times. As the Russian troops in Luzon were gradually exhausted, many concentration camp-like settlements only had a very small number of Russian troops. Under the attack of these fully equipped German-style insurgents,
Soon one concentration camp after another was liberated, and more monkeys joined their ranks. These monkeys, who had a bloody hatred for the Russians, spread like a plague throughout Luzon. It didn't take long before they began to attack Bada.
Cities like Yan pose a threat. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
