Chapter Eighty-ninth Thoughts
The new situation in the world has made the powerful countries exhausted.
In the Second Balkan War between the Balkan countries and Turkey, Turkey lost a large tract of territory and was almost completely expelled from Europe. However, the conflicts in the new Balkan Peninsula showed no signs of aborting Balkan Peninsula, but instead deepened, and the situation in Europe also entered a more intense and tense situation after the war.
The game between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia in the Balkans has entered a more intense stage. The entire Europe seems to be full of charge. Just one electric spark will arouse violent discharges between the entire European countries. The war is about to break out!
At this time, the changes in the Far East made Russia, which was already exhausted, even more overwhelmed. Nikola Nikolaevich, the uncle of Tsar Nicholas II, and the most important military general in the imperial world, complained to the Tsar:
"The soldiers of the Empire are not afraid of war, but do you want your soldiers to fight in the far east under the bombardment of the enemy's terrifying airships?"
Russia's aircraft industry has not produced aircraft that can be used for air force operations until now, not to mention that the cold weather in Siberia has put forward higher demands on aircraft parts and fuel. Russia does not have its own aviation industry and has to face the threat of the world-famous airships of the Chinese Defence Force. The Tsar had to turn his hands to his allies Britain and France again.
Over Europe, radio waves shuttled and moved.
"Dear Mr. Asquis! Russia needs our support in the Far East, but please forgive the current France. There is absolutely no extra force to send to Asia. The ambitious Prussians on the other side are still eyeing the French territory. I wonder if your navy has plans to send support to the Far East!" A telegram sent from Paris, France to London, England, conveying the meaning of the newly-taken President Raymond Poon Gale to the British Prime Minister.
France obviously does not intend to send force to participate in the Sino-Russian War, and it will not be said to travel thousands of miles apart. It will not gain anything when it takes time and effort. Instead, it will be suspected of causing trouble. After all, France's own colony Indochina is also under threat from the core areas of the Chinese. It is the time when it is firm, France does not want the Chinese to find an opportunity to swallow it.
"No, no! Dear President Poon Galai! I think that in the Far East, except for the navy, Great Britain will not have any power. In Europe, trapping Germany has overwhelmed our fleet. Great Britain has a wider colony around the world to maintain. It is impossible to consume its power in the Far East. The only thing we can do now is to trap China's trade channels and block the strategic fulcrum of the Chinese navy's southward movement. I think, now, this is the responsibility of the British navy!"
Britain's attitude is also very clear. Germany, which is close to you, is the most important enemy in front of you. After all, China is in the Far East and cannot endanger the interests of the empire for the time being. The current situation can no longer tolerate the two countries' repeated distractions in global strategies.
Next, the Russian special envoy and Britain and France held several rounds of consultations in Paris. Finally, the agreement reached, clarifying the obligations of both sides on the Far East: in the Far East, if war between China and Russia begins, Britain and France will live up to the obligation of military support. However, as compensation, Britain and France will provide limited support to Russia in material support and aircraft industry. In addition, two hundred aircraft will be provided to Russia's Far East Military Region in advance.
Russia wants to try to bring Britain and France in the Far East, but how can Britain and France have the power to start war in the Far East now? Are the British and French colonies still trembling within China's attack range?
The Allies between the Allies. Russia's own allies have roughly the same attitude.
But within the entire world, other countries do not care about the situation between China and Russia, or even if they care, they have no power to interfere. Only the United States stood up at this time and actively participated in mediation.
In the Chinese Palace in Nanjing, the chief guard Wang Shuang came in to report: "Your Majesty! The American ambassador is here to meet again!"
"I'll tell him that I'm not here. For what happened outside, I asked him to find the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US ambassador to run here all day long!" Li Zhe was very upset.
"It seems that the United States is now growing in fear of the empire! When Hong Kong took it back, the US president also sent a telephone to congratulate him. Now China is also regaining lost territory, but the United States tries every means to obstruct it. This attitude, hum! His heart is punishable!"
Guo Jia, who is preparing to make a living here, commented.
A few days ago, the US President called on China and Russia to negotiate and resolve the old territorial issues, so as not to undermine the stability of the Far East! He also proposed good office plans to both China and Russia respectively, trying to use his own influence to get both sides back to the negotiating table!
However, China and Russia directly rejected the US proposals without any idea of negotiations. Although the Chinese government has been planning for this battle for a long time, it is inevitable. But Russia? When did you hear that the great Russia will take out the territory that was swallowed into its stomach and then?
At this time, the United States of America has far less face than that of the later generations!
The situation in the Far East was so as toward the abyss under the insistence of both sides.
There is only one country in the world who looks at all this with secret joy at this time.
Japan has been hit and almost sinks into hell.
"Sauga! I didn't expect that China would also go to the path that the empire once took! Challenge Russia, a corrupt country in the Far East, and achieve great reputation for Great China! In this strategy, Chinese strategists have lost the wisdom of the former imperial elites and the face of the wisdom and power of their Chinese ancestors!"
"But you have to admit that they are taking a steady step, right? When Europe was in a state of slack care, it was impossible to integrate the situation in the East, and first use the old Russia, which is incomplete, to test the sword and rebuild the once-profound martial power of China! Lay the foundation for the next step of reorganizing the Chinese tribute system in Asia. What's wrong with such a step-by-step process? Unfortunately, the former Japan was just a stepping stone in the eyes of the man sitting in the Chinese Palace in Nanjing, and it was not even a target of establishing authority. This is really too much!"
"No, Mr. Akashi! The Chinese strategists have taken this step, although their strategy is excellent, but they have not seen the future situation. They lack a long-term vision. In the early days of the establishment of the empire, they will repeat the mistakes of the empire! Now, the Americans have begun to secretly support us.
Although China can take advantage of the chaos in Europe to have some advantage in Asia, it threatens the balance of the world situation. Once the situation in Europe is calmed down, Britain, France and other powers will free up their hands and work together with the United States and the East, and will definitely bury the eldest empire completely. At that time, it will be time for our Japan to end its hardships!"
"Oh? Lord Akiyama! Then what you mean is that this time in the Far East, Russia will definitely be defeated, but in Europe, Britain and France, other powers will definitely defeat Germany!"
