Although the establishment of the Holy Alliance has been kept secret, the gathering of monarchs from various countries, heads of government and diplomatic and military officials in Berlin is arguing in itself. In addition to the empire's omnipresent intelligence agencies, we naturally soon learned what the Germans and those who hated the empire were doing.

The Holy Alliance was originally an alliance against the extremely allies of the Chinese Empire. It can be said that the war between the two sides had no objection since this moment. However, the time of the war broke out is still uncertain. Perhaps, just one accident can cause the Holy Alliance and the Chinese Empire and its allies to break out into a long and large-scale war.

Compared with the sacred alliance formed by the German Empire, Britain, Russia and Italy, the Chinese Empire was not alone. The two hard-core allies of the Empire, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, had long been on the same boat as the Empire. In addition, with the support of the Empire, the newly established Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland, could only be on the same front with the Empire. Without the support of the Empire, the British alone would not be able to stand the counterattack.

Judging from the number of countries, the country on the Empire seems to be one more than the Holy Alliance. However, these allies of the Empire are generally not strong. The Spanish Kingdom now has a population of only more than 20 million. The Belgian Kingdom has a population of less than 10 million, which is why it absorbs the Dutch and French. The Republic of Ireland has a population of only nine million, and the Kingdom of Scotland has a population of only six million. Compared with other countries of the Holy Alliance except the German Empire, the power of the Empire is undoubtedly much smaller.

However, the power of the empire can completely make up for the gap between the two sides. It can even significantly surpass the power of the Holy Alliance. This is also the reason why the empire's allies can still stick to their own positions even when facing the powerful pressure of the Holy Alliance. They believe that even if the war breaks out, the Chinese Empire can win the best victory. Even if their country is destroyed in the war, it will soon be rebuilt and even develop better. This has been verified in the last war.

After the establishment of the Holy Alliance, the situation in the entire world, especially in Europe, became very tense. The countries of the Holy Alliance were secretly preparing for war, which made the smell of smoke over the entire European continent become more and more intense. This also made the empire's allies in Europe feel a huge threat and began to expand their military strength to fight against possible threats. After all, once the war breaks out, fools know that they will become the first target. As allies of the Chinese Empire, they have to bear certain responsibilities when they enjoy the benefits of their powerful allies. Take the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Spain for example. Before the empire's reinforcements arrived in Europe, they must do their best to ensure that the situation in Europe will not deteriorate. Only then can they have the power to counterattack. Otherwise, the entire battle situation will be corrupt.

"Your Majesty, now we have figured out the relevant situation of the Holy Alliance. Among the countries participating in the Berlin Conference, the German Empire, Britain, and Russia, the Good Italy Kingdom have joined the Holy Alliance. The Mexican Republic and the Brazilian Empire refused to join the Holy Alliance. The Ottoman Turkish Empire is still on the verge of sight! However, the contradiction between the Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Once the war situation is unfavorable to the Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will join the Holy Alliance. That is almost no doubt!" said Marshal Luo Hongtao, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau. In order to obtain these exact intelligence, the Military Intelligence Bureau has also made great efforts. Some intelligence personnel have even sacrificed their lives for this.

"British, Russia and the Kingdom of Italy joined the Holy Alliance to oppose the Empire. This was not unexpected! It was obvious that they wanted to take revenge. It was estimated that they had planted the seeds of revenge in the last Istanbul Peace Conference! However, it was not that easy to avenge the Empire. They had to be prepared to be defeated by the Empire again. And this time, the Empire will never give them a chance to turn the tables!" A ruthless look flashed in Long Yufei's eyes. This time, if the Empire wins the world war, then all the countries of the Holy Alliance, including the German Empire, will be dismembered and divided into small countries one by one. Some strategic areas will be directly occupied by the Empire. The Empire will have a series of military bases in the defeated countries to ensure control of these countries. By then, no country can challenge the empire's world hegemony, and the empire will become the most powerful country in the world.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Alliance has been established. This undoubtedly means that the countdown has begun between us and the Holy Alliance. From the perspective of comprehensive national strength, the Empire is not worse than the Holy Alliance, and is even stronger. However, a big factor restricting the Empire is that the Empire is too far away from Europe. The Empire's strong military strength is difficult to invest in Europe!" Cabinet Prime Minister Lin Zihao couldn't help but worry. Although the Empire is already very powerful, who can guarantee whether there will be a time when a ship capsizes in the gutter?

"Well! This has always been a big problem. However, over the years, the Empire has been preparing to ensure that the Empire has an advantage in future wars. The Empire's Navy is twice that of the German Navy. This will not only allow the Empire to defeat the German Navy and maintain maritime hegemony, but also protect the empire's maritime transportation line from the empire to Europe, so that the empire's army can continuously transport it to Europe to participate in the war by sea. In addition, the railway from the empire to Eastern Europe has been completed and opened to traffic one after another. The Siberian Railway and the Central Asia Railway are both eight-line railways, which can be used as a fulcrum.

After the war begins, the Empire's army will fight in Eastern Europe! Therefore, the distance and transportation factors will not even be as big as the last war!" Long Yufei said with a smile. In recent years, the Empire has spent a lot of money on infrastructure construction, connecting the Empire with the entire Eastern Europe. The two railway trunk lines allow the Empire to transport its troops to Eastern Europe for combat in the shortest time. The transportation of various logistics supplies can also be guaranteed. It can be said that the Empire has been preparing for the war since the end of the last war.

"Yes, Prime Minister. The Empire has been preparing for this war for a long time. So far, the Empire's war preparations have been completed one after another. It can be said that even if the Germans do not start a war, the Empire will start a war. Don't worry, the Empire will definitely win this battle!" Marshal Sun Hao, the Minister of Army, said with a smile.

The Imperial Army has also developed rapidly in recent years. Although the size of the army has not expanded, so far there are only 18 armies. However, there are mainly reserve troops composed of retired soldiers, which have reached tens of millions. Even if these reserve troops leave the army, they will have one month of military training every year. Once a war breaks out, they will be able to join the army immediately and after a short period of adaptive training, they will be able to go to the battlefield immediately. In other words,

, In a maximum of three months, the Imperial Army could expand 10 million people. Subsequently, the Empire would also recruit young people to join the army. Based on the current population base of the Empire, the total population suitable for participating in the army is tens of millions. It can be said that it is impossible for the Holy Alliance to defeat the Imperial Army. Even if the Navy is unexpected, the Empire can still win the final victory with its powerful army. If the Navy performs normally, it will be able to ensure that the Empire wins the war in the shortest time.

What's more, the Imperial Army also has a series of new weapons in service. The armored forces that have been built a few years ago have been secretly equipped with troops. Each army is equipped with an armored brigade with more than 200 tanks. In addition, the Empire has secretly formed four armored troops, and these armored troops will directly belong to the Imperial General Staff. Once the war breaks out, they will make a brilliant debut on the European plains.

Each armored army has 5 brigades, including 3 armored brigades and two mechanized infantry brigades. The military heavy tank battalion is also equipped with 72 "Tiger" heavy tanks. This tank has more powerful armor and larger-caliber tank guns than the "Leopard tank". Once it is put into the battlefield, it will be invincible. Even the German Empire has already started research on tanks. However, the gap between them and the Empire is too big. It can be said that there is no suspense for the Empire to win the final victory in the future war.

"The Imperial Navy is also ready for battle! The 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy has gathered in the North Sea. Once the war begins, we will fight a decisive battle with the German Navy. With the strength of the Imperial Navy's 5th Fleet, the possibility of victory is very high. In addition, the 11th Squadron of the Imperial Navy will enter the Mediterranean from the Indian Ocean to protect the maritime transportation line on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will reinforce the 5th Fleet. This year, the Imperial Navy's "Northern Song-class" battleships and

The battleships of the "Southern Song-class" will be in service one after another. The Imperial Navy will have 48 battleships, 24 heavy cruisers, hundreds of light cruisers, and more than 200 destroyers. In addition, the Imperial Navy will have hundreds of submarines, including 24 ocean submarines and 80 offshore submarines. The Imperial Navy is fully confident of winning!" Marshal Wei Yong, the Minister of Navy, also patted his chest and promised. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
