Chapter 1188 The unlucky American

In 1914, the United States was the world's largest industrial country, and its GDP ranked first in the world early on, but it was not the world's largest country, and it could not even be ranked in the top three. Britain, Germany, and France were recognized as the top three. Even in terms of Europe's influence, Russia was above him. The influence and strength of a country are not judged by who is the first. Influence requires a lot of things. At present, the core of the world is Europe, and the financial center is England, London, and the battle between Germany and Britain is for world hegemony. The United States tried every means to join the Allies, and even ruled out real money to Europe to expand the influence of the United States.

In fact, the reason why the United States in later generations was able to become a superpower was that the achievements of World War II were a very important aspect, but the United States' infiltration throughout Europe after World War I was absolutely not good, it was a tree without fate.

In this era, with the emergence of the Northwest, Germany was too strong with the support of the Northwest. On the army, it almost suppressed Britain and France with its own strength. If Britain and France could not support it, after Germany gained European hegemony, the United States would be in trouble and could not achieve its goal at all.

The United States joined the European battlefield faster than in history, especially when many meat grinder battles had not yet begun. The huge losses from Britain and France caused the United States to fill in at this time, and the losses were much greater than those in history. Because of this, the United States cannot be as calm as history. Among the Allies, the United States, as a latecomer, must listen to the views of Britain and France. Otherwise, the problem will be very serious.

Russia had never expected this variable. Russia would have lost its chain if it had the ability to mobilize tens of millions. It is calculated that Russia has lost at least 4 million since the outbreak of the war, but it is still able to mobilize 3 million or even more. This shows how terrible Russia is. What they don’t know is that in the war, the United States has always been the focus of mobilization ability. The United States can compare with the United States to Russia's mobilization ability, which has always been the pride of the United States.

After coming to Europe, the United States realized that this was not the case at all. The pride of the Americans was not supported by the German attacks. The soldiers who were not familiar with the European battlefield had no ability to survive in the meat grinder battlefield. Even if they experienced it and had the strength, they would just live a little longer. The meat grinder was a meat grinder. It was because he did not take human lives seriously.

The United States was also very helpless. The United States joined the European war in order to improve the status of the United States. However, the European war invasion was far beyond their imagination. After the powerful United States arrived, it could almost only become. The existence of cannon fodder. The previous experience of the division awakened the Americans. Next, it did not enter the main battlefield. However, the grinding-like battle situation still caused heavy losses to the United States. In just a few months, at least 500,000 people were lost, which was much more than the domestic turmoil caused by the United States.

If only Americans lost money, the Americans would be very angry, but compared with the main battlefield, Britain and France suffered more than one million losses. This shows that the tragic situation of the war has really come into contact with the strength of the German army. No wonder Britain and France were defeated. The three of them lost a total of nearly 3 million losses, while the Germans on the other side suffered less than 1 million losses. The 1:3 loss ratio allowed Germany to persist even with itself.

It is precisely because of this lesson that the 3 million troops that Russia hastily recruited are useless in the face of such a battlefield. It is absolutely cannon fodder, but what it should be given is still to be given. The United States cannot bear the joint pressure from Britain and France, nor can it bear the consequences of the Allies losing Russia, so what it should be given must be given.

Russia's demands were not possible. In the case of Britain and France as a guarantee, the British specifically mentioned the importance of Russia and must not let Russia turn toward the direction of the allies. Isn't this a rogue? Using this as a threat is really a treaty.

The tough attitude of Britain and France, coupled with the threat of Russia's withdrawal, finally formed a joint force, which made the United States reluctantly agree. Now, only the United States has the spare energy and leisure, the United States has proposed a loan loan bill. It is better to calculate it, but how many of the entire Britain and France can have in total? The number of tens of millions of troops has been killed, and it is really dead, and the war has ended.

But this is the case between countries. Now Britain and France have no leisure time, and at most part of the funds are not funds. They just exempted Russia's debts and reduced Russia's finances to a negative extent. The real money is borne by the United States.

The United States' initial hesitation was driven by major consortiums in the United States, and the lease bill was in full swing. As for the lease bill, the US government paid a lot of money, but the consortiums had a lot of money and rented for Russia was very risky. The Russian government had already been insolvent, but the focus of the consortium's activities was on another aspect. The Tsar had been the richest family in Europe hundreds of years ago, with only 10 billion dollars in gold, and various precious cultural relics from various periods of Russia. These things were wealth. I was really afraid that Russia would not repay it. In this era, the naked jungle law. If Russia really wanted to rely on this money, they would really not be ruthless.

Britain, France and the United States were considered major powers of this era. They saw a lot of things, but did not see the revolution that Russia might trigger. The Soviet regime at that time did not consider anything and was really denied. During World War I, or even earlier during the Russo-Japanese War, the funds loaned to Russia by various countries were wasted. Fortunately, Russia owed France more and other countries less, so this did not cause turmoil. However, later, France dominated the interference of various countries in the Soviet Union.

In this era, since the Lease Act, Russia has already owed US$1 billion in foreign debt, and this number is still increasing. According to the evaluation of major consortiums in the United States, not to mention a country as big as Russia, the Tsar’s own wealth is about US$20 billion higher. In half, Russia can bear at least US$10 billion.

As the United Kingdom and France as guarantees, the United States quickly issued a loan loan bill, which was another $1 billion of arms, which was formed in the factory and began to transport military supplies to Russia.

Although Britain had a tough attitude and supported Russia, the United Kingdom was really in tears. The famous Russia, which was once a European road roller, has really become a rookie who is a person. In Europe, it was abused by Germany, and in Asia, it was abused by China. In terms of the degree of abuse, Asia was more powerful than Europe. In 1911, the million troops lost nearly one million. This time, it was just over one million. Could it be that these troops were all paper-based, and even the British knew that the Red Tower was run by Russia for hundreds of years. Since the 18th century, it has attacked the important town of East Asia. Such a city has been so long that it has been guarding so many troops, and it was captured when it was said to be captured.

The Far East was corrupt, and Japan and Russia joined forces to create trouble for China. In the British's idea, the two-country coalition forces with a total strength of up to 5 million would at least leave China without any time to pay attention to other things.

In fact, it was done well at the beginning. Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China, and three aspects involved millions and even more troops. Even among the things that were widely spread by the Japanese, it is very likely to break through the Yalu River defense line and ravage the entire Northeast China. As for Russia, it has already taken action. A million troops have entered the Fudi of Mongolia. As long as it breaks through Mongolia, it is not far from the core of the northwest. Even if it does not seek a core, Mongolia is enough to bring China a huge blow.

But the situation suddenly changed, and the development of things was not like this. No one expected that the Japanese would brag, and even the millions of Russian troops entered the trap of the Chinese. The millions of troops were destroyed, and even the military city of Chita was lost. Compared with Russia, British soldiers were more professional and could easily judge that the situation in the Russian Far East, as long as the Chita and the trading city were in the hands of the Chinese, the initiative in the war was not in their hands.

For a time, the British Foreign Ministry and the Prime Minister all had an illusion that it was a mistake to bring Russia into the camp of the Allies. Since the outbreak of the European War, Russia not only did not play any role, but instead helped countless hardships.

But the mistake has been formed. With the close relationship between Germany and China, if China defeats Russia and takes over the entire Siberia, Germany may change direction and attacks Russia from Europe. Even if it cannot defeat the entire Russia, Germany and China will join Russia, with the strength of the two armies, China's huge population resources, and construction capabilities, expand the Siberian Railway, and form a real lifeline on land. At that time, the Allies will be in trouble. Even if the United States joins it, it will not be possible. No matter how powerful the United States is, it will not border with Europe, and there is a vast Atlantic Ocean between it.
