St. Petersburg, receives the peaceful signal that the English sent, Alexander III helpless sighing of. 圣彼得堡,收到了英国人释放的和平信号,亚历山大三世无奈的叹了一口气。 This War in Afghanistan has a strong beginning but a weak ending, to Russian Empire, is completely opening the King actually nearly to make the bronze score finally. 这次阿富汗战争可谓是虎头蛇尾,对俄罗斯帝国来说,完全是开局王者最后却差点儿打出了青铜战绩。 Just started to have the Afghan Guerrilla forces to coordinate, the Russian force hung dozen of English, what a pity the Afghan area was not a level road, as front unceasing prompted forward, the logistics pressure of Russian force was also getting bigger and bigger. 刚开始有阿富汗游击队配合,俄军是一路吊打英国人,可惜阿富汗地区不是坦途,随着战线的不断向前推进,俄军的后勤压力也越来越大。 In addition English reinforcements unceasing arrival , the Russian force lost the strength superiority, the situation in battlefield changed gradually. 加上英国人援兵不断的抵达,俄军丧失了兵力优势,战场上的局势渐渐发生了变化。 By the present, the War in Afghanistan had evolved a battle of attrition. Facing the wealth male potential big English, the Tsar government that compels poorly obviously cannot resist. 到了现在,阿富汗战争已经演变成了一场消耗战。面对财雄势大的英国人,穷逼的沙皇政府明显招架不住。 It seems like that the Russian force gets the winning side in the Afghan battlefield, in fact the Tsar government also swallows. 看似俄军在阿富汗战场占据上风,实际上沙皇政府也是有苦难言。 The war conducts now, the Russian force had paid with about 500,000 people of casualties, as well as Gundam/reaches as high as several billions rubles war funds, however India in legend is unattainable. 战争进行到现在,俄军已经先后付出了近五十万人的伤亡,以及高达数十亿卢布的战争经费,然而传说中的印度还是可望而不可及。 The personnel casualty is only the small issue, after all regained Central Asia, but also occupied 3/4 Afghanistan, even exchange ratio of both sides achieved astonishingly 1.1 : 3.7, it can be said that Russian force in the past 50 years best score. 人员伤亡只是小问题,毕竟收复了中亚地区,还占领了四分之三个阿富汗,甚至双方的交换比达到了惊人的1.1:3.7,可以说是俄军近50年来最佳战绩。 Naturally, this is the score that adds on Central Asia Khanate and Indian colonizing army together, pure and British armed forces main force PK, the Russian force takes less than many advantage. 当然,这是把中亚汗国和印度殖民军一起加上的战绩,单纯和英军主力pk,俄军还是占不到多少便宜。 Has the moisture content not to relate, this does not affect the Tsar government to take to conduct the political propaganda, in brief the performance in Russian force battlefield, to the past that various aspects confess. 有水分没关系,这也不影响沙皇政府拿出来进行政治宣传,总之俄军战场上的表现,对各方面都交代的过去。 The one who made Alexander III have a headache was the finance, since he succeeded to the throne the family property that the Tsar government has saved to build not to say completely, but also owes the large amount of debt, most critically cannot enter India. 令亚历山大三世头疼的是财政,自他继位以来沙皇政府积攒的家底全部搭进去了不说,还欠下了巨额的债务,更关键的是没能够打进印度。 If the Russian force has entered India, then loses everything, Alexander III must continue the war. 如果俄军已经打进了印度,那么砸锅卖铁,亚历山大三世也要将战争继续下去。 What a pity reality not, if, the English had responded. Except for pro-localization faction outside several hundred thousand principal forces, 2 million Indian colonizing army cannon fodders are ready in full battle array. 可惜现实没有如果,英国人已经反应了过来。除了本土派出来的几十万主力部队外,还有两百万印度殖民部队炮灰严阵以待。 According to the information that the frontline transmits, the British armed forces main force has rarely come out to fight a decisive battle, most of the time in the rear area supervises combat, use colonizing army and Russian force entanglement, British armed forces military officer even completely not caring personnel casualty. 根据前线传来的情报,英军主力已经很少出来决战了,大多数时候都是在后方督战,利用殖民部队和俄军纠缠,英军将领甚至完全不在乎人员伤亡。 According to this rhythm gets down, has the Indian not dead greatly, stance that the English will not admit defeat. 按这个节奏下去,大有印度人不死光,英国人就不会认输的架势。 How the gray draft animal is not again valuable, indigenous is more expensive than the colony. No matter how exchanges compared with, the Russian force is suffers a loss, after all opposite Indian has 300 million. 灰色牲口再怎么不值钱,也比殖民地土著贵一些。甭管交换比怎么样,俄军都是吃亏的,毕竟对面的印度人可是有三亿。 „Preparation and English negotiated!” “准备和英国人谈判吧！” After making this decision, the Alexander III whole person was depressed. The Russian Empire opportunity closest to India, missed. 做出这个决定后,亚历山大三世整个人都消沉了下来。俄罗斯帝国距离印度最近的一次机会,就这么错过了。 „Yes!” “是！” „Your majesty, we must inform Austria altruistic, after all......” “陛下,我们要不要通知一声奥地利人,毕竟……” Did not wait for foreign minister Austria Scar Jimenez to say the words, Alexander III hit to block the way: „You look at the office! The English does not want to hit now in any case, we do not have the ability to hit.” 不等外交大臣奥斯卡・希门尼斯把话说完,亚历山大三世就打断道:“你们看着办吧！反正现在英国人不想打了,我们也没有能力打下去。” Then, Alexander III turns around to depart directly. 说完,亚历山大三世直接转身离去。 Without a doubt, Russian Empire has the ability to continue this war, after all Austria benefits the wet nurse in the behind blood recovery, for a short time can also insist. 毫无疑问,俄罗斯帝国不是没有能力继续这场战争,毕竟还有奥地利奶妈在后面补血,一时半会儿还坚持得住。 The key is unable to capture in the situation in India, continued this war to constrain the English, Austria that is advancing triumphantly in the African continent will only benefit cheaply, did not serve the interests of Russian Empire. 关键是在无法夺取印度的情况下,继续这场战争拖住了英国人,只会便宜正在非洲大陆高歌猛进的奥地利,不符合俄罗斯帝国的利益。 Good ally, cannot resist the temptation of benefit. 再好的盟友,也抵不住利益的诱惑。 According to beforehand agrees, the Vienna government to support the Tsar government to be in charge of India, received exchange for Russia supporting the Austria advantage to lord over Africa, after the war both countries shared the European hegemony. 按照事先约定,维也纳政府以支持沙皇政府入主印度,换取俄罗斯支持奥地利独霸非洲,战后两国共同分享欧陆霸权。 Tsar government now and English truce, in pig teammate. But does not have the means that the Tsar government to determine oneself cannot attain India, that cannot look that the Austria advantage lorded over Africa. 沙皇政府现在和英国人停战,也是在坑队友。可是没有办法,沙皇政府已经确定自己拿不到印度,那不能看着奥地利独霸非洲了。 Otherwise the strength of post-war two countries will further enlarge, in the age of this law of the jungle, in the event of the strength imbalance, the so-called sharing European hegemony, is a joke. 要不然战后两国的实力就会进一步拉大,在这个弱肉强食的年代,一旦出现实力失衡,所谓的共享欧陆霸权,就是一个笑话。 The political intelligence of Alexander III is miraculous, knows the importance of suddenly Austria Union, to reduce the political influence, the decisive choice flings the pot. 亚历山大三世的政治头脑还是非常灵光的,知道俄奥同盟的重要性,为了降低政治影响,果断的选择甩锅。 ...... …… Since deciding to support the French, British Ministry of Foreign Affairs took a series of actions, the British and Russian truce is only one of the measures. 自从决定支持法国人后,英国外交部就采取了一系列的行动,英俄停战只是措施之一。 After all the Russia person is the ally that Austria benefits, not possible to be quarrelled on the treachery of flickering by them in a few words. If nothing else, light/only Britain , Russia contradictory are not the short time can untie. 毕竟俄国人是奥地利的盟友,不可能被他们三言两语就忽悠的倒戈相向。别的不说,光英俄矛盾就不是短时间能够解开的。 Just went to war, turn head formed an alliance. Perhaps these show operations, this existed in theoretically, the middle ages can also achieve. 刚刚打了一仗,回头就结盟。这些的骚操作,这存在于理论上,或许中世纪还可以做到。 However today that the nationalism rises, if who dares to play, must erupt the revolution is not possible. 但是在民族主义崛起的今天,谁要是敢这么玩儿,非得爆发革命不可。 Tokyo, sent off British minister of unexpected visitor, Hirobumi Itou whole person is not good. 东京,送走了不速之客的英国公使,伊藤博文整个人都不好了。 Coordinates various interests with great difficulty, depresses the sound that goes south reluctantly , to continue to implement the beforehand going north strategy, now the English such a mixes, the situation changed. 好不容易才协调各方利益,勉强压下南下的声音,继续实施之前的北上战略,现在英国人这么一掺合,局势又发生了变化。 Does not need to want also to know, the English visited his opposition leaders, the politician who the support went south not to mention, was definitely lobbied. 不用想也知道,英国人连他这个反对派领袖都拜访了,原本支持南下的政要就更不用说,肯定是被游说了。 In Hirobumi Itou is pondering countermeasure time, the voice of aide suddenly resounds. 正在伊藤博文思考对策的时候,侍从的声音突然响起。 „Prime minister, the royal palace makes the phone call, before wanting you to participate in governing that immediately conference.” “首相,王宫打来电话,要你立即去参加的御前会议。” „Bang” a sound, the drinking glass in Hirobumi Itou hand falls to the ground accordingly. Came quickly, has not left behind the setup time to him. “砰”的一声响,伊藤博文手中的水杯应声落地。来得太快了,根本就没有给他留下准备时间。 Without a doubt, behind this definitely has the political forces participation of home, otherwise the British minister front leg will not just walk, immediately before must hold the governing, conference. 毫无疑问,这背后肯定有国内的政治势力参与,要不然也不会英国公使前脚刚走,马上就要召开御前会议。 Such action, nothing but is demonstrating to him, wants his going south opposition to give way before difficulties. 这样的举动,无非是在向他示威,要他这位南下反对派知难而退。 Does not have the means that Meiji Restoration „three” had passed away, cannot suppress all political forces again the sea calming god needle, the method of political struggle becomes even more oversteps the limit. 没有办法,明治维新的“三杰”都已经故去了,再也没有能够压制所有政治势力的定海神针,政治斗争的手段变得越发出格。 On for example now, these fellows is hiding the truth from his prime minister, contacts with the English in secret, even had reached the agreement. 就比如现在,这些家伙就瞒着他这位首相,私底下和英国人接触,甚至是已经达成了协议。 Knows to turn over to know, Hirobumi Itou in fact helpless. Do not look that he is famous in the later generation, he has not achieved effective and influential word. 知道归知道,伊藤博文实质上还是无能为力。别看他在后世大名鼎鼎,他从来都没有做到过一言九鼎。 Also is Japan has not conducted the strategy to be risky now, the military does not have to do with enough time in a big way in the war, the government can suppress them reluctantly. 也就是日本现在还没有进行战略冒险,军方也没有来得及在战争中做大,政府勉强能够压制得住他们。 If puts after the military does is big, if who dares with them to do against, divides minute to make a mutiny, trades a government. 要是搁在军方做大之后,谁要是敢和他们对着干,分分钟就闹出一场兵变,换一届政府。 ...... …… Minister of the navy Tsugumichi Saigou takes the lead saying: „ English has indicated the standpoint, must support the French, the international situation had the fundamental change. 海军大臣西乡从道率先开口说道:“英国人已经表明立场,要支持法国人,国际局势发生了根本性转变。 The result of European war has tended to the clarification, the risk that we were worried about does not exist, all conditions of implementation going south strategy had. ” 欧陆战争的结局已经趋于明朗化,原本我们担心的风险不复存在,实施南下战略的所有条件都具备了。” If possible, Tsugumichi Saigou does not want to be this person who takes the lead. However does not have the means that he does not want to raise one's head as the ministers of the navy is not good. 如果可能的话,西乡从道是不想做这个出头鸟的。不过没有办法,作为海军大臣他不想出头都不行。 The Southeast Asia area big powers converge, the situation is intriguing, once Japan extends the influence, must expand the navy inevitably significantly. 南洋地区列强云集,形势错综复杂,日本一旦将势力延伸过去,势必要大幅度扩建海军。 As the biggest beneficiary of going south strategy, the high-ranking navy officer had unified the opinion, did not allow that his minister of the navy flinches. 作为南下战略的最大受益者,海军高层已经统一了意见,根本就不容许他这个海军大臣退缩。 Agricultural business secretary Inoue Kaoru: „ Xixiang Monarch, your so-called European war situation is clear, perhaps is also too early to say. 农商务大臣井上馨:“西乡君,你所谓的欧陆战争局势明朗,恐怕还言之过早。 It is well known, what the English is strongest is the royal navy, relatively speaking their army was common. 众所周知,英国人最强的是皇家海军,相对而言他们陆军就非常一般了。 Even if the French earned the support of English, is still little significance to the European decisive battle, only if the Russia person also supports them. 就算是法国人获得了英国人的支持,对欧陆决战也没有太大意义,除非俄国人也支持他们。 In fact, this is the not possible matter. It is well known, suddenly Austria Union is very stable, the Russia person cannot leave Austria to benefit. 事实上,这是不可能的事情。众所周知,俄奥同盟是非常稳固的,俄国人根本就离不开奥地利。 Only if were the Tsar government brain water penetration, will betray own ally, ran to support own enemy. ” 除非是沙皇政府脑子进水了,才会背叛自己的盟友,跑去支持自己的敌人。” Without the problem, the British and Russian negotiations just started, in addition be at the security condition, the intelligence capability of Japanese government is limited, the tentacle has not extended to UK and Russia leadership. 没有毛病,英俄谈判才刚刚开始,尚且处于保密状态,日本政府的情报能力有限,触手还没有伸到英俄两国高层。 According to the normal ideological mode, Britain , Russia are making war, law Austria to make war, the enemy of enemy is a friend, moreover suddenly Austria both countries had the treaty of alliance, now UK , France by one, suddenly Austria will naturally also stand. 按照正常的思维模式,英俄在开战、法奥在开战,敌人的敌人就是朋友,况且俄奥两国本来就有盟约,现在英法靠在了一起,俄奥自然也会站在一起。 UK , France conduct PK on the land with suddenly Austria, almost does not have the odds of success. Under this situation, accepts the invitation of UK , France to declare war to the Austria advantage, how to see that is far-fetched. 英法在陆地上和俄奥进行pk,几乎没有胜算。在这种背景下,接受英法的邀请对奥地利宣战,怎么看都不靠谱。 Army great general Dashanyan: „ In well Monarch, you considered thoroughly. Not to mention is the Russia person willing to dispatch troops to help Austria benefit, how even if they do win in Europe can? 陆军大将大山岩:“井上君,你多虑了。且不说俄国人愿不愿意出兵帮奥地利,就算是他们在欧洲获胜又能怎么样？ So long as the English is willing to support France, the overseas colony competed for the anti-France coalition to be in the absolute disadvantage. The Austria advantage wants to retaliate us, wants them to be capable of crossing the blockade of royal navy to be good. 只要英国人肯支持法兰西,海外殖民地争夺中反法同盟就处于了绝对的劣势。奥地利想要报复我们,也要他们有能力越过皇家海军的封锁才行。 As far as I know, the ally that UK , France win over is not only we, several Americas will also participate, the goal is for the overseas colony that to capture Austria benefits. 据我所知,英法拉拢的盟友不光是我们,还有几个美洲国家也会参与,目的就是为了夺取奥地利的海外殖民地。 We awaken was too late, missed the colonizing time, now looked all around the land of the world to have the master. 我们觉醒的太晚了,错过了殖民时代,现在环顾全世界的土地都有了主人。 Is good because of the European big powers is also contradictory layer on layer/heavily, this European war is our best opportunities. So long as captured Austria to be Southeast Asia, the coal, iron ore, rubber and grain that we wanted...... had everything expected to find completely. ” 好在欧洲列强也是矛盾重重,这次欧陆战争就是我们的最佳机会。只要夺取了奥属南洋,我们想要的煤炭、铁矿、橡胶、粮食……全部都应有尽有。” Is looking at self-intoxicated Dashanyan, Hirobumi Itou cannot bear hit to block the way: „ English may not have the preparation and we forms an alliance, inviting them to participate to attack Austria to be Southeast Asia, is only because of the situation need. 望着自我陶醉的大山岩,伊藤博文忍不住打断道:“英国人可没准备和我们结盟,邀请他们参加进攻奥属南洋,只是因为局势需要。 Again many that no matter they promise, captured Austria to be Southeast Asia, most benefits were also UK , France, belonged our is only some remnant thick soup cold roast/broil. 不管他们许诺的再多,夺取了奥属南洋,大部分利益也是英法的,属于我们的只是一些残羹冷炙。 European history everyone has studied, should be clear about their customs. Even if Austria benefits in this war defeats, they were still a great nation. 欧洲历史大家都研究过,应该清楚他们的规矩。就算是奥地利在这次战争中战败,他们仍然是一个大国。 For some benefits, offending a European power is completely the gain does not equal the loss. In the future is retaliated time, English not for us over. ” 为了些许利益,得罪一个欧洲大国完全是得不偿失。未来遭到报复的时候,英国人可不会替我们出头。” The window paper was pierced, everyone was scared. The law of the jungle is the essence of this time, the weak one does not have the qualifications and powerhouse competes for the spoils of war. 窗户纸被捅破了,所有人都傻眼了。弱肉强食是这个时代的本质,弱者是没有资格和强者争夺战利品的。 The power gap is extremely disparate, even if UK , France gave many promises, after the war the Japanese government did not have the ability to want them to cash. In the face of the benefit, the violation was really normal. 实力差距太过悬殊,就算英法给了再多的许诺,战后日本政府都没有能力要他们兑现。在利益面前,违约实在是再正常不过了。 If unable to monopolize Austria to be Southeast Asia, under follows to take advantage of a mistake merely the soup behind UK , France, then launches this war, becomes absolutely does not have the significance. 如果无法独占奥属南洋,仅仅是跟在英法后面捡漏下的汤水,那么发动这次战争,就变得完全没有意义。 Although Japanese Military radical a little, but they are not silly. Two Showa general staff have not gotten online, the people on the scene are the intelligence quotient online lords, naturally cannot jump the pit. 日本军方虽然激进了一点儿,但是他们却不傻。中二的昭和参谋部还没上线,在场的的众人都是智商在线的主,自然不会去跳坑。 Tsugumichi Saigou shows a faint smile, points at the map on wall saying: „ Yitou Monarch, this issue we naturally considered. The English have their abacuses, we have our plans. 西乡从道微微一笑,指着墙上的地图说道:“伊藤君,这个问题我们自然考虑到了。英国人有他们的算盘,我们也有我们的计划。 Our neighbors do not have an archaism to be called „go through cut down Guo”. Austria benefits anyone to know not affably, the light they in the presence of Southeast Asia area, are not we can eat up. 我们的邻居不是有一句古语叫做“假道伐虢”。奥地利不好惹谁都知道,光他们在南洋地区的势力,都不是我们能够吃下的。 From beginning to end, Austria is Southeast Asia is not our goal. Our real goal here- fertile Philippines. 至始至终,奥属南洋都不是我们的目标。我们的真正目标还是这里-肥沃的菲律宾群岛。 Choice with the UK , France cooperation, but to use them acts as a cover, confuses the Spanish, to capture Philippines creation opportunity. ” 选择和英法合作,只是为了利用他们做掩护,迷惑西班牙人,为夺取菲律宾群岛创造机会。” Hears this explanation, Hirobumi Itou's dignified look slightly slow. With attacking Austria is compared with Southeast Asia, obviously bullies the Spanish to make one accept, at least risk in controllable range. 听到这个解释,伊藤博文凝重的神色稍缓。和进攻奥属南洋相比,显然欺负西班牙人更加能够令人接受,起码风险在可控范围之内。 „ Plan, although is good, but have you considered the consequence? “计划虽然不错,可是你们考虑过后果么？ UK , France are not the lord who good to deal with, knows we are using them, in the future will definitely retaliate. 英法可不是好相与的主,知道了我们在利用他们,未来肯定会进行报复。 An operation is not good, will fall into the beyond redemption position the empire. After all our strengths were too weak, could not withstand to toss about. ” 一个操作不好,就会将帝国陷入万劫不复的境地。毕竟我们的力量还是太弱了,经不起折腾。” Tsugumichi Saigou nods: „ This issue, our military has discussed. Without the European war, in any event, we do not dare to do. 西乡从道点了点头:“这个问题,我们军方早就讨论过了。如果没有欧陆战争,无论如何,我们也不敢这么干。 Now is but different, the European big powers were divided into UK , France and suddenly Austria two big camps, the European balanced strategy of English creakied, for a short time these big powers could not attend to us. 可是现在不一样了,欧洲列强分成了英法、俄奥两大阵营,英国人的欧陆平衡战略摇摇欲坠,一时半会儿这些列强都顾不上我们。 From collection to the total military strength that the material, the warring parties mobilize added to cross ten million/countless, such blood spelled, in the participant who this European war was very difficult the true victor, the final result mostly was mutually wounded. 从搜集到的资料来看,交战双方动员的总兵力加起来都过千万了,就这么血拼下去,这欧陆战争的参与者中很难有真正的胜利者,最终的结局多半是两败俱伤。 So long as we are more flexible, in the European war decides on the eve of the victory and defeat, joins a victor side promptly, this game was even steady. 只要我们灵活一些,在欧陆战争分出胜负前夕,及时加入胜利者一方,这一局就算是稳了。 No matter who won the war, must be busy licking the wound after the war, for this minor matter, will not wage a war to our allies. 不管是谁赢得了战争,战后都要忙着舔伤口,根本就不会为了这点儿小事,对我们这位盟友大动干戈。 If the luck is good, but can also take advantage of opportunity to obtain some spoils of war, improves our international standings. ” 如果运气好的话,还能够顺势分得一些战利品,提高我们的国际地位。” ...... ……
