1673 Strategies 3

"From the current situation, it seems that our Hungarian allies will find it difficult to cause a heavy blow to Austria." Prime Minister Asquis said helplessly.

If it was a complete Hungary, it would naturally bring a heavy blow to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But now, Hungary is already divided, Slovakia in the north has gradually been taken over by Vienna, and the Croatia region in the southwest is also rapidly approaching the center. Transylvania in the southeast, the gathering place of Romanians, has become a mess. Now half of the places that the Hungarians can control! And in this half of the area, there are still many internal disputes... Just this piece of material, can you expect how high the combat effectiveness it has?

"If we can cooperate with the Count Obernie of the Independent Democratic Party when necessary, some old antiques will let them enter the garbage dump of history. No matter what, in this winter, an incident that can shake the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire will be broken, whether it is independence or regime change! By the way, there are also distant relatives of the unsuccessful Habsburg family, and Grand Duke Karl can also use it. Isn't he a fairly king? Didn't the Hungarian nobles want a king? I think the cooperation between them is very good." Prime Minister Asquith said meaningfully.

"By the way, how did our operations in the Arabian Peninsula go? I remember that this was led by a colonel named Thomas Edward Lawrence?" Prime Minister Asquis asked.

"It's not good. Colonel Lawrence convinced Hussein Ibn Ali to launch an uprising against Turkey. It started very smoothly, but later, in order to fight the Asian Minor battle, the military recruited some Arab soldiers into the British army, which led to the weakness of the rebel army. You know, there were already a large place and sparsely populated areas, so the result is now very bad." Lloyd George said embarrassingly.

"Okay, this is really not good news." Asquith said, but he didn't take this matter seriously. In the eyes of the British, this is just a step of chess. It is good to be successful, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter.

The inertia of history is huge. On this plane, a great Arab national uprising broke out. The person who led the uprising was still Hussein Ibn Ali, a person who was directly related to the founder of the *** religion, brought great harm to Turkey in history. The Allied Powers recognized Hussein's kingship and national independence as the condition that these Arabs fought for the Allied Powers. Then after the war, Britain and France decisively broke the contract and divided the lost lands of Turkey. The so-called national independence also became a bubble.

But unlike in history, the Arab uprising on this plane was very failed and did not cause much harm to Turkey. Of course, for the British, this was just a small matter. Although it was a bit regretful, it did not hinder the overall situation.

When the frontal battlefield cannot gain an advantage, the British will gradually accumulate advantages from other corner battlefields, thereby accumulating a small victory into a big victory, which will eventually change the entire battle situation and even use scraps. Then the British are also very concerned about Japan, the fourth largest ally among the Allies.

"How much cannon fodder and labor can the Japanese provide us next year?" Asquith asked.
