"The Nomanov dynasty has finally fallen!" Xu Jie said excitedly after seeing the relevant information. He had not been so happy for a long time. He had never been so happy even when he won a large territory after defeating Russia for the second time.

, in his opinion, the two Sino-Russian wars only laid the foundation for today's matter, and China's desperate efforts only made Russia, the clay-footed giant, give up the Far East and suffer some flesh wounds at most.

That's it. And this time, after Germany completely defeated Russia, it was China's turn to completely dismember this northern behemoth! For this day, China has been preparing for 10 years! The Chinese Army, which has not moved for a whole decade, is now

It’s finally time to move! And the target is the North and Central Asia occupied by the Russians! Well, this is just a long-term plan. As for how much it can occupy, it depends on the actual development of the situation.

But before attacking Russia, Xu Jie needs to reconsider the situation in Europe. The current situation is so different from that in history that even Xu Jie thinks that if things go wrong, the Entente will be defeated miserably.

What should I do? Historically, the United States entered the war in 1917. Under the pressure of absolute strength, Germany was able to launch a last-ditch Emperor's Offensive. But now? The Germans have almost no problems with raw materials and food.

.And controlled the entire Mediterranean! The Italian Navy finally took action and completely cut off France's connection with North Africa. The United States, the key force of the Allied Powers, has not yet decided to participate in the war, which makes the Allied Powers' situation very difficult. And according to intelligence

It shows that early next year, the German High Seas Fleet will have a real showdown with the Grand Fleet! And Xu Jie knows the Germans’ trump card, so the British are really likely to lose!

If the Grand Fleet collapses or is severely damaged, the blow to the Allies will be fatal! Although after the war, the German Navy needs to rest and recuperate, and will not take any action against Britain in the short term. But if the Grand Fleet is severely damaged, this will be a blow to the Allied Powers!

Britain's confidence in continuing this fight would be destroyed

What a blow! Britain is an island country. Losing its fleet means losing its sea lines of communication, which is equivalent to the collapse of a person's blood circulation system. Even if it can barely support it, it will never last long. By then, what if the United States joins the war?

The United States also wanted to challenge both the German High Seas Fleet and the Allies in the Mediterranean

Combined Fleet? Are you kidding me? No matter how powerful the U.S. industry is, it must transport troops across the Atlantic. If the Atlantic route cannot guarantee safety, what can we do if the Atlantic route cannot transport things? And compared to the Allies, the Americans cannot bear the loss of lives.

Obviously low. And trench warfare is obviously a bloody battle! Beautiful

The United States must participate in the war, and the United States must lose a large amount of materials and personnel in the war. Xu Jie needs to bleed the United States through the European battlefield! Therefore, the United States government must see the hope of winning the war, and the premise of this hope is that Britain and France

The two countries continue to fight with all their strength. Therefore, Britain must not collapse!

What will happen if Britain fails? Germany will dominate Europe. Although Europe is indeed far away from China, Xu Jie still does not want Germany to become bigger. The reason is very simple. First, Germany wants a pro-German Russian government to maintain

Containment of China, and China wants to dismember Russia to increase its strength. This is a point that both sides

The interests are in conflict with each other, but this issue was covered up before Russia was overthrown. And when the Russian government fell, this contradiction began to become prominent again! The second reason appeared in Germany's ally Turkey. Because

With the strong support of Germany, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is still alive. He controls China

A large area in the east, including Iraq and Kuwait in later generations, these two places are important oil fields! Although they have not been discovered yet, for the sake of future plans, Xu Jie is absolutely unwilling to let these two places be placed under

under the control of other major powers, and if Germany wins, these two future super-industrial

The oil countries will definitely not be able to escape! I am afraid that other oil fields in the Arabian Peninsula will also be under the control of Germany! The third reason is that after Germany’s unprecedented victory, will Germany, which is full of confidence, do anything drastic?

Actions, such as fighting against China or something. This potential threat makes Xu Jie a little worried.

So to sum up, China does not mind allowing the Germans to gain some fruits of victory, but the fruits cannot be too much and cannot completely enrich the Germans! You can include the Baltic Sea coast, Belarus and Ukraine into your own territory or sphere of influence

, but it can never control the entire former Russian region. Germany can draw Britain and France on the Western Front, but it can never completely weaken France and exclude Britain's influence on the European continent! Within this framework, Germany is a friend of China, and

If this framework is exceeded, it can only be enemies, or even a sword fight between the two parties!

According to ordinary people's thinking, since they don't want Germany to win, then wouldn't it be enough to cut off support to Germany? It seems reasonable, but in fact, China also hopes that the British will be severely damaged! And fundamentally shake the British sea power.

The basis, that is to say, Xu Jie needs a larger-scale engagement between Britain and Germany than Jutland

!The best result is that both sides suffer heavy losses, the British further shrink their troops, and Germany is temporarily unable to launch a new offensive, so that it can wait until the United States joins the war to replenish the combat power of the Allies! This is a dilemma. How to grasp the strength of the generals?

Change is very important! If this move is successful, Xu Jie is sure to let this war continue for another two years!

These two years are enough time for the Chinese government to launch an offensive against the Russian Provisional Government and complete the consolidation of the newly occupied areas. From the current point of view, the situation is most beneficial to China. With the establishment of the Russian Provisional Government, his German puppet regime

The nature of the war has changed from an ally of the Allied Powers to an enemy. It is impossible for Britain and France to provide it with help, and they just want to get over it quickly! And Germany? It has to focus on the battlefield in the west, and the help it provides to the Provisional Government is at best verbal.

It is not practical. After all, they still need China to supply their supplies. As for an excuse to start a war? That is quite easy to find. Many of the weapons and ammunition provided by China to the Tsarist government were given on credit. According to normal

For the transaction process, Russia will pay with gold and other hard currency. But now, the provisional government is obviously unable to pay the debt, and the supplies have been consumed. Then China can use this as an excuse to go to war with the Russians

!

The fall of the Nomanov dynasty had a huge impact. On the second day after the establishment of the Russian Provisional Government, the British Ambassador to China expressed the hope that China would stop exporting materials to Russia and expressed its willingness to purchase them at 120% of the price.

, and exchange gold, silver or technology to prevent these weapons and ammunition from falling to the Russian Provisional Government or Germany.

After all, these materials can now theoretically be transported across Asia to Europe through the Trans-Siberian Railway! This is equivalent to opening up a second supply line for the Allies! And judging from the current situation, China is obviously leaning towards Germany. From the perspective of Britain and France

Come on, this batch of supplies originally ordered by Russia and paid for by Britain and France are very likely to end up being cheaper for the Germans.

To the surprise of the British, Huaxia readily agreed to the request of Britain and France, but said that the freight for this batch of goods would need to be calculated separately. When British diplomats asked privately why Huaxia agreed to the deal, Xu Jie responded like this

of: “We are a neutral country

Home, what we care about is the freedom of trade and navigation, and according to the most basic business principles, the highest bidder cannot be changed! The Russian Provisional Government does not have the ability to pay, and the Germans’ bid is lower than your country’s price, then we

Naturally, I will resell the goods."

Perhaps the success of this transaction has doubled the confidence of the British. Perhaps the British government believes that this is the beginning of a change in China's attitude. After all, the British government is more or less aware of China's purpose. Now that the Czar has fallen, it is time to carve up Russia.

The quasi-ally with Germany finally broke up.

Sorry, so far, the British have not received any information about Germany's negotiations with China. On the contrary, Germany hopes that China can support the Russian provisional government and respect their sovereignty and integrity! Isn't this funny? In the eyes of the British,

The arrogant William II still didn't understand the situation.

The Allies worked tirelessly. With the support of American loans, they once again purchased various materials in large quantities, especially various mechanical products, rubber, oil and other strategic materials! Regardless of whether these things are needed or not, they should be bought and stored first.

, it cannot fall into the hands of the Germans anyway. The British's move obviously caught the Allies off guard! The Germans do not have the ability to fight with the British

People are more generous! Fortunately, China still fulfilled the orders placed by the German government in advance and did not resell them to others because of the British. However, because of the British's sweeping of goods, the next phase of the Allies' orders became

It is very difficult. After all, although China is huge, its output of rubber, oil and other materials is also huge! There are more British people, but naturally there are fewer Germans.

"Our country hopes that your country can continue to support the Allies. The war is almost over. Our advantages are very obvious. We have every hope that this war will be completely ended in the middle of 1917. By that time, the huge colonial systems of Britain and France will

will collapse, and China will directly inherit the British and French spheres of influence in the Far East. Isn't this a good choice for your country?" The German envoy persuaded Xu Jie more than once to continue the original policy. The Germans are not stupid either. They

I also felt the change in situation.

"Your country should know what our country is concerned about, but it is a pity that your government has not given any formal and clear answers to our concerns. Our country has made huge sacrifices for the victory of the Allies, and we have provided you with imports.

90% of fuel consumption

, more than 75% of rubber, more than 80% of tungsten ore and various non-ferrous metals, as well as a large number of machinery and accessories. We even exported our country's most elite warships to your country at critical moments. We have done so much, but

What can we get?" Xu Jie asked seriously.
