Empire, but also the whole of Europe. Three days ago, everyone was still discussing how much effort Hans would make to protect Hungary. Three days later, Hans not only sent troops to protect Hungary, but also beat up Hungary’s neighbors.
What kind of operation is this?
Isn’t Hans, the boss, too considerate?
They not only resolved the crisis of Hungary’s demise, but also resolved the huge threat to the north of Hungary!
If they really let them control the land they conquered, then the north of Hungary would be completely safe!
Thinking of this, those countries that originally had a good impression of Hans, such as the three Baltic countries, Bulgaria around the Black Sea, Turkey, etc., all began to move!
After seeing the benefits of following Hans, these countries began to be tempted.
Most of them were participants in World War I, and they were also members of the Allied Powers. So after the end of World War I, they were treated as defeated countries, and almost every country lost a lot of land.
Therefore, seeing the former leader of the Allied Powers, their leader Hans, return strongly, these former brothers are naturally jubilant!
After all, with their strength, asking them to challenge the two great powers, the British Empire and the Gallic Empire, is simply asking for their lives, and they can’t do it even if they fight their lives!
So they can only hug the thighs, and the British Empire and the Gauls are their enemies. Even if they want to put their hot faces on other people’s cold butts, others may not accept it, so they can only hug the thigh, that is Hans!
However, although these countries are jubilant, they did not come up at the first time, and they still planned to wait and see.
After all, as a defeated country in World War I, Hans’s strength was greatly weakened, and at this time Hans had no allies at all. Even if their strength returned to the peak level before World War I, because there was no iron ally like the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they were actually in a state of fighting alone!
In this state, other countries are somewhat skeptical, wondering whether Hans really has the strength to fight against the encirclement and suppression of the British Empire and the Gauls!
And this four-nation war is a great opportunity to test Hans’s quality!
If Hans withstands the pressure and successfully saves the Hungarian Empire, then these younger brothers will be willing to trust their former boss again and continue to follow the boss.
But if Hans can’t save the Hungarian Empire, then they’d better go to bed. If they can’t even save the Hungarian Empire at their doorstep, if something happens to them in the future, don’t expect Hans to help them!
Therefore, this war is a huge test for Hans!
Conversely, this is also a severe test for the British Empire and the Gauls!
If they can’t suppress Hans, then their plan to block Hans from the east and west will immediately fail. At that time, Hans will completely break through their encirclement and blockade, and can no longer be suppressed!
Knowing the seriousness of this matter, after the British Empire decided to send troops to Jieke to help protect Jieke, it immediately sent people to contact the Gaolu people, intending to encourage the Gauls to participate in the military pressure action against Hans!
The Gauls responded coldly to the invitation of the British Empire.
At this time, the turmoil caused by the economic crisis in Gaul was gradually magnified, and a large number of domestic workers were unemployed.
The British Empire has 33 million square kilometers of colonies to settle, but Gaul does not have so many and their domestic population has always been insufficient.
The Gauls have worked hard for several years and finally brought immigrants from Eastern Europe and North Africa to their homeland, and finally raised their total population a little!
If these people were sent out at this time because of the domestic economic crisis, then all their previous efforts would be in vain!
Unlike the British Empire, the British Empire is an island country, so they only need to maintain a strong navy to protect their safety.
Gaul is a continental country. If they want to protect themselves, they must have a strong army.
The strength of the army is directly related to the number of troops, and the number of troops is directly related to the total population of the country!
Under the combined effect of these factors, the Gauls were quite cautious.
On the one hand, their domestic economic situation was getting worse and worse, and a large number of workers were unemployed at home. The loss of their livelihood became a hidden danger to social security.
On the other hand, their neighbor Hans’s actions were getting bigger and bigger, especially in the military field, with new actions almost every year, which made the Gauls highly nervous. They dared not relax at all, fearing that their relaxation would lead to Hans taking advantage of the situation.
So, they had to passively expand the army with Hans and keep a reserve army of millions of people at any time to prevent the coming of war.
In this case, they really couldn’t send these unemployed workers away. If they sent these people away at this time, Hans would send troops to attack them in the next second. They needed to mobilize and recruit a large number of young people to join the army to fight for the country, but found that the young people had been sent away. Wouldn’t that be very embarrassing?
Therefore, in a dilemma, the Gauls did nothing and let the domestic situation deteriorate day by day!
At this time, even if they knew that the Hans had provoked trouble in Central Europe, they were really powerless under such an unstable domestic situation, and they could not intervene in this matter with the British!
Therefore, the Gauls rejected the invitation of the British.
After all, in their view, it was not their protectorate of Poland that was invaded by Hans, but the protectorate of the British. Although they were in the same camp as the British, this was the guarantee of independence provided by the British. Since the British made this promise, the British had to bear the corresponding responsibility! However
, their own failure to send troops over did not mean that they would not help.
The Gauls urgently summoned the Polish ambassador to the Iron Tower City, promising to provide a batch of weapons and equipment to Poland, so that the Polish people could enter the German city to help deal with Hans!
In the eyes of the Gauls, the army sent by Hans was not that many, but only one group army, with only 300,000 or 400,000 people. Even if the army of Hungary was included, it was only 500,000 or 600,000 people.
Jieke’s own army had 500,000 or 600,000 people, plus the troops sent by the British and Romanian armies. Their advantage in manpower was actually very obvious. At this time, it would be enough to let the Polish people go over to represent themselves and show their faces. Could it be that Hans really wanted to occupy Jieke’s land and not withdraw his troops?
Impossible!
If they really did this, then they would just eat up their group army. Anyway, the multinational coalition had a clear advantage in manpower, and Hans did not invade Jieke in the name of the country, but sent troops in the name of the volunteer army. In this way, Hans would definitely be subject to many restrictions! The
Gauls thought well, and the Polish people also thought beautifully.
It is not impossible for them to send troops, but the Cheshin area of Jek must be given to them. The Polans feel that Cheshin was originally their territory, but it was taken away by the Jekes after they were divided!
Since they have restored their country at this time, they naturally have to take back the land they once lost.
The Gauls treated the Polans’ request indifferently. Anyway, the Polans were not asking for their own territory, and they naturally didn’t have to feel bad about things that had nothing to do with them.
So the Gauls told the British about the Polans’ request.
When the British heard that the prerequisite for the Polans to send troops was to get Cheshin, they didn’t have any special reaction.
They didn’t care much about the conflict between the Polans and Jeek, and they didn’t care whether Cheshin belonged to Polans or Jeek.
If Cheshin could be exchanged for Polan’s troops, it would be good for the British, at least it could help them eliminate the German army.
Moreover, in the eyes of the British, if they failed to kill the German army this time, Czech would also lose a lot of land. Instead of ceding Czech’s land to Hans or the Hungarian Empire, it would be better to cede Czech’s land to their ally Poland.
So the British agreed to the Polish request without even thinking about it, and sold Czech!
