"Judging by the actions and statements of the Germans now, war is inevitable, and they are using their last time and money to buy supplies and raw materials from all over the world. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info," the Secretary of State said to William H. Taft.

"And what about the actions of the Bavarian side? What is Ruprecht doing? "When it comes to Germany, Americans never forget the Bavarian prince.

"They are doing the same thing, and, according to our sources, the Bavarian Corps has already begun to mobilize. The war will officially break out in no more than a month at the latest. The secretary said.

"Okay, it's finally here, it's an opportunity for the United States, no matter what the result is, whoever the winner is, European civilization will fall from its peak, and the vacuum of power left behind will be handed over to us, we need to shed more blood in Europe!"

"Are the Germans still handing over the German Pacific colonies as agreed between us?" Taft remembered to get down to business.

"They are carrying out the plan step by step, and the handover of most of the area is underway, except for Kaiser Wilhelm's Land and part of the Bismarck Archipelago area, but the only problem is that we have too few people. And our native fleet has not yet arrived. General Benson, who was next to him, said.

"Well, now that the Germans have fulfilled the treaty, then we should also fulfill our responsibilities." Taft commanded. As agreed, the United States will do everything in its power to send supplies to the Allies at a time when tensions in Europe begin. The U.S. government would then issue a statement demanding that the belligerents respect the safety of navigation on the high seas by neutral countries, and that their naval blockade operations should not target civilian goods. In order to ensure the normal life of the people of the belligerent countries.

Of course, such a statement, that is, that neither the Entente nor the Central Powers would have complied. But in addition to these statements, the Americans may have promised to use high-speed merchant ships to "smuggle out" for the Allies or to transfer supplies to the Allies through third countries. At the same time, it is also open to the German shipping companies in the United States, you can buy and transport. The U.S. government won't care.

Of course, the Americans were more concerned about the German colonies in the Far East, but their movements were obviously slower, and the distance was too far, the military port in Hawaii was not fully completed, the fleet size was limited, and if it came from the mainland, it was too long, and the Americans did not expect, or the world did not expect, that the initial exchange of fire in this war would actually take place in the Pacific region.

On March 25, 1912, 11 days before the official declaration of war, the main fleet of the Japanese Navy, including 2 dreadnoughts, 2 super dreadnoughts, 2 Kongo-class battlecruisers and 4 former dreadnoughts, had assembled in Manila Bay!

"How is the negotiation between the Prime Minister of Saionji Temple and the British?" The commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Shigetaro Yoshimatsu, waited anxiously for news. Such a large-scale fleet concentrated in the Philippines could not hide anyone's eyes, at this time, the Germans and Americans were nervously carrying out the colonial transfer plan, and not delaying a single day would mean the increase of American power in the Western Pacific region.

"The British only emphasized that we could only take action after the declaration of war, and they believed that acting now could easily lead to an intensification of tensions between the United States and the Entente, so they refused to support our action and said that the Anglo-Japanese alliance was not suitable for such an undeclared war situation." An officer replied.

"So how does the Prime Minister of Xiyuan Temple decide?" Shigetaro Yoshimatsu asked.

"I don't know what the Prime Minister's opinion is, but Admiral Rokuro Yashiro and Admiral Shimamura, the head of the Naval Command Department, think that we can circumvent this problem by declaring war on Germany in advance." The officer replied.

"It's a good idea, but I don't know if the government will take such a move," Shigetaro Yoshimatsu said with a pause, then nodded.

And the very next day, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu received an order from the Admiralty and the Japanese government to immediately move south, and in four days the Japanese government would declare war on Germany, and after the ultimatum was delivered by the Japanese government at 8:30 in the morning, the Japanese fleet could act immediately!

However, the Japanese obviously still kept a hand, and the Japanese government asked the fleet to avoid conflict with the American fleet as much as possible when carrying out the plan, not to fire first, and to "consider giving up when the situation does not allow" After all, this operation did not have the endorsement of the British, and the British may or may not help, and the Japanese government must consider facing the threat of the United States alone.

The current size of the US fleet is not small, and the number of capital ships is 4% more than that of the Japanese! Even if we include the other two Kongo-class battlecruisers that are about to be completed and the Hyuga and Fuso, Japan's largest capital ships, which are under construction, the Japanese fleet still has a great disadvantage in the face of the United States. The minimum ..... of the Japanese Navy in the war against the United States will be satisfied.

Thus, three days before Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Japan first declared war on Germany, and on the same day that war was declared, the Japanese fleet launched an attack on Kaiser Wilhelm's territory, Truk Atoll, and part of the Mariana Islands. The Americans' plan to take over the German colonies in the Far East before the outbreak of war ultimately failed. Although no direct conflict between the two countries broke out because of the restraint between the two sides, it was inevitable that relations between the United States and the Entente would fall to a freezing point. The ice age between the two even lasted until the 30s.

"The Japanese have already acted! They occupied our colonies in the Far East. When a staff officer told Churchill the news, the British Admiralty-Chancellor, the future Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said first.

"Then I hope that the Japanese Navy will fulfill their obligations! to maintain the Allies' maritime superiority in the Mediterranean! Churchill said that while the two major military blocs were sharpening their knives and preparing to make a move, the Italians were very subtle in their attitude towards the war, and they did not join the side of the Allies as the French imagined, while maintaining relations with the Central Powers. The Italians of this plane are more hesitant and more careful!

The clouds of war have already enveloped the whole of Europe, and at this time, Ruprecht has finally stepped onto the battlefield, and the whole 20 years of preparation are waiting for today! The two armies of Bavaria and Bohemia-Moravia had already entered the assault position, and when war began, the German and Austro-Hungarian armies of millions would collide with the six Russian armies in the southern theater of the Eastern Front!
