Everyone looked at British Prime Minister Arthur Belford with a hint of envy. It takes tens of millions of pounds to build 18 powerful new battleships at the same time! Only the UK has this.
The foundation of the country can do such crazy things. However, the wealth accumulated by Britain has been a maritime overlord for hundreds of years is definitely an astronomical figure. In order to maintain their status, they naturally do whatever it takes. In this regard,
It's also something everyone can understand.
Tsar Nicholas II was so envious. Originally, the accumulation of the Russian royal family was also very amazing. However, in the last war, he was defeated by China and then blackmailed a small part. Then, China was again
By selling prisoners of war, he once again made a fierce blow on Russia, which almost made Tsar Nicholas II empty all his wealth. Now there is a Russia that is full of holes caused by war and rebellion.
, I don’t know when I can restore my strong strength!
French President Emile François Lube was also very satisfied with the actions taken by Britain. Although France has started construction of four "Guoba" battleships, and the next four "Breton" Brittany
The class battleship is still in the design. However, France's focus is still on land. Germany's pressure on France comes from Germany's powerful army, not the navy. If the German navy is
Rapidly grow, then the German army is already the world's number one. The defeat of the French-Prussian War caused France to suffer a lot. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, France devoted most of its national strength to the reconstruction of the army. As for the navy
, France has given up the unrealistic idea of fighting for the world. Therefore, the huge pressure brought by the German navy is left to the British to deal with. Just in time, the British are also very good at this aspect, and the French navy cooperates at most.
It's all right away.
"His Excellency Prime Minister, the United States is like Britain. It is facing pressure from the enemy's strong navy. The US government intends to establish a strong navy to ensure its own safety. However, the United States has some weakness in its technical reserves and needs strong support from Britain to provide strong support.
! "Theodore Roosevelt took the opportunity to raise the requirements of the United States. Although the United States has strong industrial strength, it still has a big gap with Europe in terms of top technology. If it can get help from the United Kingdom, then the United States' strong industry
Strength can play a huge role.
"In order to deal with our common enemy, Britain will never be stingy in this regard!" said British Prime Minister Arthur Belfort.
Then, everyone discussed the specific details. For example, when a country encounters any danger, how other countries should help. Allies should provide assistance to allies with poor national strength, etc. These all need
Only one-by-one discussion can be done.
The secret meeting between Britain, France, the United States and Russia took three days to reach an agreement and signed an alliance treaty. The treaty stipulates that Britain, France, Russia and the United States, and the four countries form a joint response to the alliance and China.
Alliance, once these four countries are attacked by any allied country or China, the other three countries must declare war on the enemy within three days. At the same time, they will devote all their troops and naval forces to defeat the enemy for their allies. In the war
Before the outbreak, the four countries will carry out a series of technical and financial cooperation to provide the overall strength of the four countries and ensure victory in future wars.
As the initiator of the four-nation agreement, Britain got what it wanted. French President Emile François Lube said that France will accelerate the construction of the "Golba-class" battleships in the first half of this year
The construction of the 'Breton-class' battleship will begin. Once Germany challenges the British Navy, the French Navy will do its best to help the British Navy defeat the German Navy. Theodore Roosevelt also said on behalf of the US government that the United States will continue to start construction of new battleships.
In the next five years, a new first-class battleship will be launched every year. However, the main enemy of the US Navy is China, and there is not much direct help to Britain. However, this also makes Britain very satisfied, with the United States
If China is held back, then Britain can do its best to deal with Germany. The British believe that with the support of the British Navy and the French Navy, it is not a big problem to defeat the German Navy.
The formation of the Four-Nation Agreement directly led to the emergence of two different camps in the entire world. Or in other words, the Four-Nation Agreement, the Three-Nation Alliance, and China, which is free from the Allies. However, the most important confrontation still occurs in
Europe and China are just confronting the United States in the Pacific region. This makes the war imminent.
Wang Yuze would never have thought that he wanted to cheat the Germans before revealing the news that the German Navy's battleship was built in a Chinese shipyard. However, it caused such serious consequences, which directly led to the direction of history.
The earth-shaking changes have been made. After the Allies and the Allies began a comprehensive confrontation in advance, the possibility of the outbreak of World War I was much greater. Not to mention, the German Navy was able to own 16 ships around 1905.
Advanced battleships form a powerful navy. The British navy is only limited to the German navy, and the gap in strength between the two sides is very small. Once the situation changes and German Emperor William II decides to take risks, the war is likely to break out. At that time,
Even if China is located in the east of the world, it is not immune.
However, this is exactly what Wang Yuze wants. Let Western countries continue to increase military spending and consume their national strength. Then, through World War I, they will consume all their national strength. At that time, China will be able to at a small price.
Get control of the entire world.
The leaders of France, Russia and the United States gathered in London to hold secret talks with the British Prime Minister. Although the whole process was very confidential, what could be done in Europe at this time? The allies led by Germany
, and immediately began to obtain relevant information. Finally, on the third day after the United Kingdom, France, the United States and Russia signed a military treaty, German Emperor William II obtained relevant information. Even the military signed by the four countries
The entire contents of the treaty were already placed on William II's desk.
"Damn, these guys finally got together! Humph! Do they think that if they unite, they can stop Germany's footsteps? The German people need broad living space. This is the power given to Germany by God, and it is also Germany.
No one can stop the emperor's obligations!" German Emperor William II roared angrily. In his opinion, Germany's current national strength is completely incompatible with the living space that Germany has. Why are the British and French?
They were able to occupy such a vast colony, but the Germans were limited to Europe, without sufficient resources and a large market, which made it increasingly difficult for Germany to develop. Therefore, breaking the existing world system and establishing a new one
World system, this is Germany's only choice.
"Come on, call the Prime Minister, Chief of Staff, Minister of the Navy and Crown Prince!" After calming down his mood, German Emperor William II issued an order to the waiter. He must summon the important officials of Germany to discuss countermeasures.
, What impact will the four countries of Britain, France, the United States and Russia form an alliance, and what countermeasures will Germany take in the future?
Soon, German Prime Minister Hornlohe Shillingsfist, Chief of Staff Earl Alfred von Schrieffin, Minister of Navy Alfred von Tirpitz and Crown Prince Friedrich
William rushed to the office of Emperor William II.
"Everyone, our enemies have taken action, they have joined forces, trying to fight us. Two days ago, the British, French, American and Russians, they have signed formal military alliance assistance in London
The content of the treaty is very simple. Any country is attacked by a third country, and the other allies will do all their military power to help. Obviously, their alliance is obviously aimed at us!
"German Emperor William II said with a sinister face.
This was the first time the German Prime Minister and others learned about this news. After hearing William II's words, they were shocked. Although they were all ready to know that these enemies would sooner or later together. But because of the various countries
They believed that even if these enemies united, they would have to wait at least several years later. At that time, Germany had already prepared for war. However, no one expected that Britain, France, the United States and Russia
The four countries reached an agreement so quickly, which completely caught Germany off guard.
"Your Majesty, since Britain, France, the United States and Russia have formed an alliance, we cannot wait. We must win over China as much as possible. Even if China does not join the allied countries, Germany must sign a secret alliance treaty with China. Britain, France, and the United States have to do so.
Once the four Russian countries unite, the huge strength formed is not something that we Germany can deal with. Only by tying the Chinese to our chariots can we have a chance to win!” German Prime Minister Hornlohe Xiling
Sphist said immediately. Although Germany is developing rapidly, its foundation is too poor and it cannot compete with several old-fashioned powers.
German Emperor William II nodded. Although he was a little reluctant to admit it, he knew that at this time, Germany really needed China as an ally! (To be continued...)
