Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 1140: Chapter 154: Kicking Someone When They’re Down

Though the Seven-Injury Fist comes with severe repercussions, one must admit its power is indeed formidable. Especially when the nations of Europe collectively add to its momentum, the resultant force is even greater.

The interruption of the Siberian Railway led to Russia’s advantageous situation in the Far East dissolving away; the severance of the Central Asia Railway disrupted the Allied Forces’ offensive in India.

Internal chaos erupted within the Russian Empire, leaving the Tsarist Government too preoccupied with its own affairs to attend to the Russian Army at the frontlines.

While the Russian Army in the Far East was out of reach, the Russian forces in Central Asia, as allies, could not be abandoned to starve, especially since the Allied Forces had already successfully joined forces.

Luckily, India was wealthy enough to provide some local resources for replenishment; otherwise, Franz would have had no choice but to order a retreat.

Now, although there hadn’t been a retreat, launching an offensive was also out of the question for the time being. Suddenly, an additional eight hundred thousand mouths to feed put a strain on the transportation capacity of the Allied Forces.

Not only was the Indian battlefield affected, but even the progress of the “Sea Lion Plan” was delayed.

With the European Continent in disarray, how could France remain stable? It only avoided major turmoil because the Allied Forces were about to land on The British Isles and were temporarily stationed within France.

A million-strong army gathered, and any significant chaos could be quelled. After several failed rebellions, the Revolutionary Party stopped playing with armed uprisings and turned to orchestrating strike movements instead.

Affected by the major strikes, railway services inside France were at one point disrupted, compelling the Allied Forces to put out the fires in their own backyard first to stabilize the rear.

In such a small place as the European Continent, where the nations are closely interlinked, the situation can be likened to a chain reaction.

To stabilize the backyard, it was necessary not only to help the French government stabilize the situation but also to assist other Alliance members.

For example: aiding in the restoration of the Portuguese King.

Though the Republican Party also expressed joining the Alliance to continue the fight against Britain, making trouble at this juncture made them the enemy of the Alliance, with absolutely no room for negotiation.
