Mediterranean Hegemony Road

v2 Chapter 22: Strategy of the Russian Empire

Since I can't do it myself, supporting 傀儡 is also a good choice! The Ottoman Empire is indeed weak, but it can't stand the Russian-Turkish feud! God knows, will Sudan get mad someday?

Isn't Armenia an example? You just do it. Why keep it secret? Suppression of ethnic rebellions, the Russian Empire did not do less, but when the news leaked, it was already done! Which time has been held by the international community?

It seems to the Russians that IQ is worrying! Oh, completely ignored the gap between the two countries' national strength! If the Armenian problem occurs in the Russian Empire, it is estimated that the people will roar into two voices, and most governments will pretend that they have not seen it! !!

The strategy of the Russian Empire has to start from the beginning, all forced!

The predecessor of the Russian Empire was the Principality of Moscow, which is located in the middle of the Eastern European Plain. Most of the territories have high latitudes, cold weather, and harsh environments. Therefore, the focus of the Russian expansion was south, west, followed by east, and finally north .

To the north is the Arctic Ocean. It is well known that the Arctic Ocean has extremely cold climates and poor navigational conditions. The long Arctic Ocean coastline is only one place in Murmansk that can be used as an estuary, and it is the only frozen port in the Arctic Ocean.

However, Murmansk is an estuary port with high latitude and cold climate. In August, the highest temperature during the day was minus 12 degrees, at night, 0 degrees, and the lowest temperature in winter at night reached more than 60 degrees. The difficulty can be imagined.

The road in the north was blocked, and looking to the west, the Russians and western neighbors fought for hundreds of years. Part of the coastline of the east coast of the Baltic Sea has been seized from Finland, Sweden, Lithuania, and Poland, but the Baltic Sea is a closed inland sea!

The Russian navy was confined to the east of the Baltic Sea, and wanted to go out unless it swallowed up coastal countries such as Sweden, Germany, and Denmark. However, regardless of the size of the coastal countries, they are all unbeatable Xiaoqiang, none of them are provoked.

First, Denmark's Kalmar dominates, and then the second elder, Sweden, is overwhelming, and now it is Germany's turn, and it is not the Russian Empire that can balance it anyway!

Next, let's go south. Unfortunately, the Black Sea is still closed than the Baltic Sea. To go out, you must pass through Turkey. After you go out of Turkey, you have to cross the Mediterranean Sea.

The puppet Russians tried to **** the Bosporus from Turkey, and the British-French partnership returned to puppets in the Crimean war.

The current situation is very obvious. Even if the Russian Empire can PK off Turkey and enter the Mediterranean Sea, it will have to be returned. Therefore, the Russian Empire has invested its strategic focus in the Far East!

In contrast, Europe is hard bones, and the Far East is soft persimmons!

Russians have seized a large area of ​​land from the food empire and obtained a natural good port Vladivostok (Vladivostok).

But Vladivostok, although in good condition, has an icing period and is surrounded by the Japanese archipelago, the Korean Peninsula, and the Aleutian Islands. The Russians had to excuse themselves when they came out of the Pacific Ocean.

However, if you compare them, you will find that compared with Britain and Germany in Europe pk, Japan and North Korea are a little troublesome, they are simply insignificant!

The Russian Empire has no plan to excuse it. Since it is fancy, it will be better soon. Anyway, Japan and North Korea at the end of the 19th century were weak chickens, and they were not in the eyes of Russians.

Now that Russia has found the best breakthrough, naturally it will not stay in Europe and continue to fight the **** copy. The navy wanted to open the way to the Mediterranean in advance, but it was only a precautionary plan. It was good to succeed, and it was good to fail!

There is a reason that cannot be said, just to brush the sense of presence! Support the Bulgarians to come out to grab the strait, there must be a navy?

Now that Bulgaria ’s small navy is just catching smugglers offshore; if it sails, maybe it will be directly destroyed by pirates?

不 Isn't the value of the Russian Navy reflected? According to traditional practice, the Bulgarian Navy is the Russian Navy wearing a vest. From the establishment to training, the Russian Navy should handle it all, including command power!

As for Bulgaria's attitude, is this important? Can you not eat the pie delivered to you? Anyway, the future is part of the Russian Empire, just like several kingdoms in the German Empire, the present is to pay for future gains!

Before the Siberian Railway was opened to traffic, the Russian Empire's power in the Far East was extremely limited, and the navy was going to be a spectator!

This is intolerable by the Admiralty. Whether it is for personal or collective interests, the Minister of the Navy must keep the Navy alive anyway!

Then the obedient Bulgaria came into the eyes of everyone. Coincidentally, the Bulgarian Army performed well during the Second Paso War and won the true story of the Russian Empire! (Remarks: Before 1886, the Bulgarian Army was organized by the Russians. From establishment to training, it was done at the request of the Russian instructor!)

Support Bulgaria to ban the Ottoman Empire's monopoly on the strait ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ is a good choice!

Will Bulgaria become bigger? Sorry, it doesn't exist! At least in the presence of the Russian Empire at its peak, even if Ferdinand was in charge of the Balkans, he had to be an honest brother!

末 At the end of the 19th century, in terms of comprehensive national strength, the British Empire was a well-deserved boss, followed closely by the Russian Empire, and Germany and the United States were still practicing their internal skills!

排名 This ranking has not changed until 1905! The French-Russian Alliance suppressed the German-Australian three-nation alliance in Europe. In order to alleviate the pressure on the European continent, all countries (except France) have inadvertently chosen disasters.

Austro-Hungarians must pretend to be grandchildren, and they can only compete with the Russian Empire by relying on Germany, let alone Bulgaria! After decades, Bulgaria has risen, and the two countries have long been tied together. It can no longer be solved by personal rapprochement!

The statement of the Minister of the Navy, as early as a dozen years ago, the Russian Empire had similar plans, but for various reasons, they have not been implemented.

Beginning with Bulgaria's independence, the Russian Empire had a strong influence, and even once grasped the Bulgarian army, which did not change until 1885.

提出 Now put it up again, different from the past: Bulgaria's strength is a little bit stronger, in order to avoid dissatisfaction of Bulgarians, Alexander III began to use Huairou during the period of III!

At present, it seems that the effect is not bad. The "Great Bulgarian" promoted by Bulgaria and the Slavic unification strategy proposed by the Russian Empire are essentially the same. The only difference is that the appetite is smaller!
