The Far East fleet is pitiful, with for the loser in Malacca naval battle, the day of Japanese Navy will not naturally feel better. 英国远东舰队凄凄惨惨戚戚,同为马六甲海战中的失败者,日本海军的日子自然也不会好过。 Navy family property that the Meiji Restoration 30 years accumulates, a dynasty ruined most probably. The East Asia's first naval power, became a joke directly. 明治维新三十年积累下来的海军家底,一朝葬送了大半。东亚第一海军强国,直接成了一个笑话。 To just the Japanese nationalism of rise, the failure of Malacca naval battle, obviously was unacceptable. 对刚刚崛起的日本民族主义来说,马六甲海战的失败,显然是不能接受的。 With transmitting of defeat news, suddenly may you be punished by heaven traitor the slogan, resounded through Japanese archipelago. 伴随着战败消息的传来,一时间“天诛国贼”的口号,响彻了日本列岛。 Once was honored as navy that nationality hoped, overnight turned into the national criminal who everyone spurned. Island country incisiveness that extreme manifests here. 曾经被誉为“民族希望的海军”,一夜之间变成了人人唾弃的国家罪人。岛国的偏激在这里体现的淋漓尽致。 Day imperial palace, since the news of Malacca naval battle failure comes, before Emperor Meiji holds the governing, conference one after another. 天皇宫,自从马六甲海战失败的消息传来,明治天皇就接连召开御前会议。 Not anxious is not good, the congenial failure needs to pay the price. Defeat of Malacca naval battle, put in the dangerous situation Japan directly. 不紧张不行,投机失败是需要付出代价的。马六甲海战的战败,直接将日本置于了危险境地。 Prime minister Keitarou: „ Search and rescue ship has returned one after another, because encounters the reason of Spanish Navy, we also lost two search and rescue ships, the remaining warships feared that did not come back. 首相桂太郎:“搜救船已经陆续返回,因为遭遇西班牙海军的缘故,我们还损失了两艘搜救船,剩下的军舰怕是回不来了。 In light of combat report that Austria announced that basically can determine that Great general Sukeyuki Itou died a martyr. 结合地利公布的战报,基本上可以确定伊东祐亨大将杀身成仁。 Information that according to Cam Ranh bay transmits, the Far East fleet of English is the loss is also serious, in the harbor could not have found the form of over ten thousand tons warship. 根据金兰湾传来的情报,英国人的远东舰队同样是损失惨重,港口中已经找不到万吨以上主力舰的身影。 The situation in Far East area the thorough erosion, in future a long time, we must be under the sea threat of enemy. ” 远东地区的局势已经彻底糜烂,在未来很长一段时间内,我们都要面临敌人的海上威胁。” No matter Sukeyuki Itou died in battle, must, if dying a martyr, otherwise absolutely does not have the means to give the domestic people confession. 不管伊东祐亨有没有战死,都必须要是“杀身成仁”,否则根本就没有办法给国内的民众交代。 The general public may why, no matter defeats, is instead defeating in the battlefield, that is incompetent, waste and traitor. 普通民众可不管为什么战败,反正在战场上败了,那就是无能、废物、国贼。 Only had the dying in battle battlefield, can extinguish everyone's part of resentment slightly, but waste the reputation must have. 唯有战死沙场,才能够稍微消弭大家的一部分怨气,不过“废物”的名头还是少不了的。 Relatively speaking, whether Sukeyuki Itou died in battle, is only a small issue. At present the biggest problem, is the Far East situation erosion. 相对而言,伊东祐亨是否战死,也只是一个小问题。眼下最大的问题,还是远东局势的糜烂。 As an island country (Japan), lost the command of the sea, without doubt is awfully. Especially the Russo-Japanese War, is launching intensely. 作为一个岛国,丧失了制海权,无疑是要命的。尤其是日俄战争,正在激烈展开。 Once Holy Roman navy east-bound, not only the frontline Japanese forces must be finished, Japanese archipelago was also dangerous. 一旦神罗海军东进,不光前线的日军要完蛋,就连日本列岛也危险了。 Hirobumi Itou: „ The result of Malacca naval battle, has proven us with the power gap between top big powers. 伊藤博文:“马六甲海战的结果,已经证明了我们同顶尖列强之间的实力差距。 To make up for these disparities, dozens years of effort has not been is impossible to achieve. However, at present we most lack is the time. 想要弥补这些差距,没有数十年的努力是不可能做到的。然而,眼下我们最缺的就是时间。 The European situation is also tense, Holy Roman Empire hits out in all directions now, the English has been tired out from the press. 欧洲局势同样紧张,神圣罗马帝国现在是四面出击,英国人已经疲于奔命。 The royal navy is not multipurpose, in a short time, the English feared that does not have the ability to reassign enough warship to reinforce Far East. 皇家海军也不是万能的,短时间内,英国人怕是没有能力抽调足够的军舰增援远东。 In other allies as for alliance, everyone is very clear, on Republic strength, remaining even we were a little inferior. 至于联盟中的其他盟友,大家都很清楚,也就合众国有点儿实力,剩下的连我们都不如。 Although the Washington administration also dispatches troops, but the binding force to various provinces are limited, now western provinces anti-war. 华盛顿政府虽然同样出兵,但是他们对各州的约束力非常有限,偏偏现在西部各州是反战的。 Counted on that they dispatch troops to support us, for a short time is not perhaps realistic, at present we can only depend on itself. 指望他们派兵支援我们,一时半会儿恐怕也不现实,眼下我们还是只能靠自己。 The imperial navy the vitality has damaged severely, the enemy can block Sea of Japan momentarily, in the military has not resulted in hits, only has seeks the breakthrough diplomatically. ” 帝国海军已经元气大伤,敌人随时都可以封锁日本海,军事上根本就没得打,唯有在外交上寻求突破。” It is not Hirobumi Itou instigated, is really the present really has no way to hit. The navy cannot withstand, Japan will degenerate into the isolated island. 不是伊藤博文怂,实在是现在真没法打。海军顶不住,日本就会沦为孤岛。 Once the marine transportation shut off, the frontline Japanese forces quickly because of losing the logistics supply defeated, when the time comes the Holy Roman navy only needs to deliver toward the island in the Russian force of Far East. 一旦海运被切断,前线的日军很快就会因为丧失了后勤补给而战败,到时候神罗海军只需要把远东的俄军往岛上一送。 Now can only expect is: The Holy Roman navy's similar vitality in the Malacca naval battle damages severely, in a short time is incapable east-bound. 现在唯一能够期待的就是:神罗海军在马六甲海战中同样元气大伤,短时间内无力东进。 This probability is too small, according to passing on the information, the enemy does not fight a decisive battle with them directly, is hanging them merely, making the air force act as the main force of attack. 只是这种概率太小,根据传回来的情报,敌人根本就不和他们正面决战,仅仅只是吊着他们,让空军充当进攻的主力。 Foreign minister Inoue Kaoru: „ Yitou Monarch, in the diplomacy wants to break through, similarly is also beset with difficulties, even possibly. 外相井上馨:“伊藤君,外交上想要突破,同样也是困难重重,甚至可以说是没有可能。 Relations empire's with Vienna governments, has not felt better. 帝国同维也纳政府之间的关系,从来都没有好过。 Although we have been repairing diligently, but the Franz Great's prejudice to the empire is too heavy. Regardless how us diligently, is not studious. 尽管我们一直都在努力修复,但弗朗茨大帝对帝国的偏见太重。无论我们怎么努力,都是无用功。 In the past years, Austria altruistic, not only looks for trouble to the empire one time. If not for we deal appropriately, perhaps the conflict has broken out. 在过去的岁月里,地利人不只一次给帝国找麻烦。若不是我们应对得当,恐怕冲突早就爆发了。 In addition, we with hatred between Spain and Russia, is a big barrier. 除此之外,我们同西班牙、俄罗斯之间的仇恨,也是一大障碍。 They are the important member nations of mainland alliance, now hits a person when he is down without enough time, is impossible to make us move out. ” 他们都是大陆联盟的重要成员国,现在落井下石都来不及,根本就不可能让我们全身而退。” Being adaptable to the situation is the important factor that Japan rises, may meet the strong person politics, this move does not work. 能屈能伸是日本崛起的重要因素,可遇上强人政治,这一招就不灵了。 No matter how crouches/submits Di makes, the release good intentions slightly, Franz is pretends unable to see. Meets the opportunity, gives Japan to wear the small shoes. 甭管怎么伏低做小、释放善意,弗朗茨就是装作看不见。一遇到机会,就给日本穿小鞋。 In some sense, Japanese Navy neat going south , was also compelled. 某种意义上来说,日本海军干脆利落的南下,也是被逼出来的。 In the mainland alliance has one group of enemies, doesn't go to and English mixes, making the Japanese go to mix with whom? 大陆联盟中有一堆敌人,不去和英国人混,让日本人去跟谁混? What a pity the British eldest child decline is too quick, but also without and other Japan rises truly, has been on the decline. 可惜英国老大没落太快,还没等日本真正崛起,就已经日薄西山。 By the narrow ideological influence of volcano island country (Japan), the Japanese was been very easy to carry too far, even the senior government officials are still no exception. 受火山岛国的狭义思想影响,日本人特别容易走极端,即便是政府高层也不能例外。 Defeat of Malacca naval battle, made the Japanese government win the war to lose confidence to the ocean alliance. 一场马六甲海战的战败,就让日本政府对大洋联盟赢得战争丧失了信心。 Must know that ocean alliance numerous member nations, is not so pessimistic. It looks like in other member nations, even if the ocean alliance is unable to win the war, the dignified conclusion war was not difficult. 要知道大洋联盟众多成员国,就没有这么悲观的。在其它成员国看来,纵使大洋联盟无法赢得战争,体面的结束战争还是不难的。 Everyone is not a fool, if really the percentage hundred must lose, who will also continue to accompany the English to play? 大家都不是傻子,真要是百分百要输,谁还会继续陪着英国人玩儿? The politics is most realistic, what the politicians first consider is the benefit, once discovered that the matter may not , the treaty of alliance is a scrap paper. 政治可是最现实的,政客们首先考虑的是利益,一旦发现事不可为,盟约就是一张废纸。 After sighing, Hirobumi Itou said slowly: „ Without is so serious, what the Vienna government must first consider is the benefit. 叹息了一声后,伊藤博文缓缓说道:“没这么严重,维也纳政府首先要考虑的是利益。 Do not look at now suddenly Austria or the ally, so long as Holy Roman Empire won the war, the situation had the fundamental change. 别看现在俄还是盟友,只要神圣罗马帝国赢得了战争,情况就发生了根本性的改变。 Without the common enemy, among suddenly Austria was only left over the benefit and conflict. 没有了共同的敌人,俄之间就只剩下利益和冲突了。 Between the world eldest child and world second child have the natural on strategic contradiction, particularly they have the long boundary line, the contradiction of hidden were more. 世界老大和世界老二之间存在着天然上的战略矛盾,尤其是他们还有漫长的边界线,隐藏的矛盾就更多了。 By greedy of Tsar government, they will never let go any expansion opportunity. I speculated, after the war India will become the contradictory focus between suddenly Austria. 沙皇政府的贪婪,他们从来不会放弃任何一次扩张机会。我个人推测,战后印度将成为俄之间的矛盾焦点。 If the Russia person took away half India, Holy Roman Empire can also tolerate them to take Far East? 假如俄国人拿走了半个印度,神圣罗马帝国还能够容忍他们拿下远东么? Either the fate fights a war personally, either supports the agent. As long as is the Vienna government has scruples the table manners, was impossible just to beat the English, started to own ally. 要么亲自下场打一仗,要么扶持代理人。但凡是维也纳政府顾忌吃相,就不可能刚刚击败英国人,就对自己的盟友下手。 The Far East empire is good-for-nothing, cannot hold. Under this situation, the empire is their only choices. 远东帝国不成器,根本就扶不起来。在这种背景下,帝国是他们的唯一选择。 Naturally, is different from the English, Holy Roman Empire is the world's first land power, is not big to the demand of empire, our expected needs are lower. ” 当然,不同于英国人,神圣罗马帝国自身就是世界第一陆军强国,对帝国的需求没有那么大,我们的预期需要更低一些。” Can look, Hirobumi Itou lacks self-confidence at heart similarly. The speculation always speculated, the East and West ideological mode is different, no one knows the plan of Vienna government. 看得出来,伊藤博文的心里同样没底。推测始终都是推测,东西方思维模式不一样,谁也不知道维也纳政府的打算。 Acting as the goon is not difficult, the goon who delivers does not need not to use white/in vain. The issue is the goon also divides two types: One type is raising for a long time, one type is the disposable cannon fodder. 充当打手不难,送上门去的打手不用白不用。问题是打手也分两种:一种是长期养着的,一种是一次性炮灰。 What Japan needs becomes the former, can obtain the support for a long time ; Rather than becomes the latter, degenerates into toilet paper that used up threw. 日本需要的是成为前者,可以长期获得扶持;而不是成为后者,沦为用完了就扔的厕纸。 ...... …… With fierce explosive sound, under ignited the raging flame, the flame released the endless enthusiasm, warmed this cold winter. 伴随着剧烈爆炸声过后,下方燃起了熊熊烈火,火焰释放出无尽的热情,温暖了这个寒冷的冬天。 But to the following London People, rather does not want this special warmth. Even this winter, especially cold. 只不过对下面的伦敦民众来说,宁愿不要这种特殊的温暖。即便是这个冬天,格外的冷。 The fight for several days, British Air force has seen through the real motive of Holy Roman air force, no longer blind intercept. 连续多日的战斗,英国空军已经识破了神罗空军的真实目的,不再盲目升空拦截。 In order to preserve effective strength, British Air force took the lead to conduct the strategic shift, retreats Scotland area that the Holy Roman air force is unable to cover. 为了保存有生力量,英国空军率先进行了战略转移,撤退到了神罗空军无法覆盖的苏格兰地区。 Does not have the air force to protect, the sky of London degenerated into the world of Holy Roman air force thoroughly, the pattern of bombing also changed gradually. 没有空军守护,伦敦的天空彻底沦为了神罗空军的天下,轰炸的模式也渐渐发生了改变。 After the explosion, can form flame to splutter to all around, sends out about the 1000 C high temperature, and can stick in other object last long time combustion napalm bomb, quick emerges from numerous bombs, becomes the Holy Roman air force most loves. 爆炸后能形成一层火焰向四周溅射,发出1000C左右的高温,并能粘在其他物体上长时间地燃烧的“凝固汽油弹”,很快就从众多炸弹中脱颖而出,成为了神罗空军的最爱。 Especially in London this haze serious place, after napalm bomb explosion, flame that produces, the function of direction goal. 尤其是在伦敦这种雾霾严重的地方,“凝固汽油弹”爆炸后产生的火焰,还有指引目标的作用。 Only regret is the smoke of building combustion is too big, similarly will affect the line of sight of pilot. 唯一遗憾的就是建筑物燃烧的烟太大,同样会影响飞行员的视线。 However this is the small issue, has the smoke place not to need to manage, according to the place that has not belched smoke throws the bomb, is the alternative carpet bombing. 不过这都是小问题,有烟的地方不用管,照着没有冒烟的地方丢炸弹,也算是另类的地毯式轰炸。 Original space and time napalm bomb has not blossomed in radiant splendor in a war, the main reason or the raw material are insufficient, needs to use a lot of natural rubbers. 原时空“凝固汽油弹”没有在一战中大放异彩,最主要的原因还是原材料不足,需要使用大量的天然橡胶。 However, is limited as the natural rubber capacity of strategic resources, and is several years, is not the short time can enhance the capacity. 然而,作为战略资源的天然橡胶产能有限,并且还是一种好几年,根本就不是短时间就能够提高产能的。 The capacity is insufficient, the place that needs to use are also many, naturally did not have the means to put out too much natural rubbers to produce the bomb. 产能不足,需要使用的地方又多,自然没有办法拿出太多的天然橡胶来造炸弹了。 Now is different, under promotion of butterfly effect, the automobile industry and electric power industry erupts ahead of time, the market of natural rubber had been opened. 现在不一样,在蝴蝶效应的推动之下,汽车工业、电力工业提前爆发,天然橡胶的市场早就被打开了。 Light Holy Roman Empire , must consume over a million tons natural rubber every year. Some markets have the production, the capacity of natural rubber also follows to erupt. 神圣罗马帝国一家,每年都要消耗上百万吨天然橡胶。有市场就有生产,天然橡胶的产能也跟着爆发。 After the war breaks out, the economy changes over to the wartime pattern. Squeezes out tens of thousands tons natural rubber, brings to produce the bomb to Holy Roman Empire , not difficult problem. 战争爆发后,经济转入战时模式。挤出几万吨天然橡胶,拿来造炸弹对神圣罗马帝国来说,并非什么难题。 Then, had the present raging flame. Was different ended from a sound that before bombed, visual impact that the present raging flame brings, but was much bigger. 然后,就有了现在的熊熊烈火。不同于之前轰炸的一声响就完了,现在的熊熊烈火带来的视觉冲击,可要大得多。 More and more British People, to this had the repugnance. Even if Edward VII gives the radio speech personally, summoned that everyone takes up the weapon to protect our homes and defend our country, cannot block the anti-war call to be getting higher and higher. 越来越多的英国民众,对这场产生了反感。即便是爱德华七世亲自发表广播演讲,号召大家拿起武器保家卫国,也挡不住反战的呼声越来越高。 Especially after the air force gives up the air defense, encountered the people from various circles fierce batch, suddenly Campbell cabinet as if becomes the criminal in Britain. 尤其是空军放弃防空之后,更是遭到了社会各界的猛批,一时间坎贝尔内阁仿佛成为了不列颠的罪人。 Campbell, after all is not Churchill, individual moral integrity is much higher, is unable to achieve to disregard the public opinion. 坎贝尔,毕竟不是丘吉尔,个人节操要高得多,无法做到置舆论而不顾。 After turnover smog of cigar, Prime Minister Campbell asked: When can air force go to battle again?” 吞吐了一口雪茄的烟雾后,坎贝尔首相问道:“空军什么时候能够再次出战?” Sorry, prime minister. In the front fight, the air force has hurt the vitality. In a short time, we do not have the ability that goes to battle with again.” “抱歉,首相阁下。在前面的战斗中,空军已经伤到了元气。短时间内,我们不具备再次出战的能力。” Can look, expectation at heart Prime Minister Campbell has dropped, no longer requested the air force to beat the enemy, merely is only request going to battle. 看得出来,坎贝尔首相的心里预期已经下降了很多,不再要求空军能够击败敌人,仅仅只是要求“出战”。 What a pity the reality is brutal, point(s) the small request, the rejection of air force minister Adili Austria. 可惜现实是残酷的,就这么点儿小要求,空军大臣阿蒂利的拒绝。 Without the means that the present is really cannot hit. In the past month, British Air force lost over a thousand fighter aircraft, died in battle more than 800 pilots. 没有办法,现在是真不能打。在过去的一个月时间里,英国空军损失了上千架战机,阵亡了八百余名飞行员。 Although the aviation industry of Britain is next to Holy Roman Empire , may want for one month to supplement over a thousand fighter aircraft, is still unable to complete. 不列颠的航空工业虽然仅次于神圣罗马帝国,可想要一个月内补充上千架战机,仍然是无法完成的。 Especially domestic factory, but also encountered key bombing of enemy, delayed the progress. 尤其是国内工厂,还遭到了敌人的重点轰炸,更是拖延了进度。 The airplane does not supplement promptly, the pilot supplement speed was slower. Cannot train ten days of half a month, delivers the battlefield? 飞机补充不及时,飞行员补充速度就更慢了。总不能训练十天半个月,就送上战场吧? Internal affairs minister Azeyanagi: Political pressure is big, folk to air force does not take is repugnant, if not make anything......” 内务大臣阿泽维多:“政治上的压力非常大,民间对空军的不作为已经非常反感,如果再不做点儿什么……” Knight, we have acted. Half a month ago, we raided Paris ; Last week, we raided Madrid ; Yesterday we even also raided Norden. “爵士,我们已经行动了。在半个月前,我们空袭了巴黎;上个星期,我们又空袭了马德里;昨天我们甚至还空袭了诺登。 The Empire Air force has used the maximum strength, launched the counter-attack to the enemy, but this still cannot change the disparity in both sides strength. 帝国空军已经用最大的力量,向敌人发起了反击,但这仍然改变不了双方实力上的差距。 We need more pilots, a more advanced fighter aircraft, these require the time. Before solving these problems, the air force not suitable fights a decisive battle with the enemy. 我们需要更多的飞行员、更先进的战机,这些都需要时间。在解决这些问题前,空军不宜同敌人决战。 Everyone is unwarrantable, the enemy will not initiate landing forcefully, the air force must retain certain strength, at crucial moments strikes to the enemy fatally. ” 谁也不能保证,敌人不会强行发起登陆,空军必须要保留一定的力量,在关键时刻给敌人致命一击。” Although is not willing to accept, but everyone has to acknowledge that Adili Austria said is reasonable, the royal navy was unable to safeguard the security of English Channel. 尽管不愿意接受,但是大家不得不承认阿蒂利说得有道理,皇家海军已经无法保障英吉利海峡的安全。 The Malacca naval battle has proven: In the offshore operation, the air force can slaughter the navy. 马六甲海战已经证明了:在近海作战中,空军能够对海军进行屠杀。 Without an air force, enemy once initiates lands forcefully, Britain wants to intercept cannot achieve. 若是没有一支空军力量,敌人一旦发起强行登陆,不列颠想要拦截都做不到。 Once makes the enemy successfully land, then anything was needless saying that the following weaponry had no way to hit. Counted on that the lobster soldier defends British Isles, is really makes people be hard to raise the confidence. 一旦让敌人成功登陆,那么什么也不用说,后面的仗根本就没法打。指望龙虾兵保卫英伦三岛,实在是让人难以提起信心。 Foreign minister Adam: „ The issue of pilot, does not need extremely to be worried. Ministry of Foreign Affairs had reached the agreement with the allies. 外交大臣亚当:“飞行员的问题,不用太过担心。外交部已经同盟友们达成了协议。 In the future in six months, will introduce 1000 pilots from various countries one after another, next week will have 300 pilots to arrive. 未来半年时间内,将陆续从各国引进一千名飞行员,下个星期就会有三百名飞行员抵达。 Moreover we 200 fighter aircraft that purchase from Republic, will arrive the next week. 另外我们从合众国采购的两百架战斗机,也会在下个星期抵达。 If the performance can the meet requirement, have the continuous fighter aircraft in the future, transports from the Americas. 如果性能能够满足要求的,未来还有源源不断的战机,从美洲运送过来。 Although these are unable completely to solve the difficult position of air force, but eases the pressure. ” 这些虽然无法完全解决空军的困境,但是缓解一下压力还是可以的。” The rarity has a good news, the wrinkle between people foreheads, had a sign of melting finally. Only First Lord of the Treasury Asquith's complexion, as before gloomy fearfulness. 难得有一个好消息,众人额头间的皱纹,终于有了一丝融化的迹象。唯独财政大臣阿斯奎斯的脸色,依旧阴沉的可怕。 Without is so simple, does not know that everyone noticed, recently the industrial material price rises. “没有那么简单,不知道大家注意到了没有,最近一段时间工业原材料价格又上涨了。 Continues the order the factory, has sent out the representative to request to consult the price to the rear services headquarters, the report has projected on Ministry of Finance. 承接订单的工厂,已经派出代表到后勤部要求重新协商价格,报告已经打到了财政部。 Since I had sent people to check, the war erupted, the domestic price presented general Zhang. 我派人去查了一下,战争爆发以来,国内的物价都出现了普涨。 Especially the strategic resources related industrial material, the increase is swift and violent, some raw materials even presented being out of stock. 尤其是战略物资相关的工业原材料,涨幅更是迅猛,部分原材料甚至出现了断货。 Because of the reason of war, the route in Far East has interrupted completely ; The route in Indian Ocean was also elongated more than 10,000 nautical miles ; Although the route in Americas has minimal impact, but the merchant ship has the accidental/surprised frequency clearly to increase. 因为战争的缘故,远东的航线已经完全中断;印度洋的航线也被拉长了一万多海里;美洲的航线虽然影响不大,但是商船发生意外的频率明显增加。 This is only a start, the difficult problem that then we must face will be only more, the royal navy needs for the merchant ship escort...... ” 这只是一个开始,接下来我们要面对的难题只会更多,皇家海军需要为商船护航……”
