Chapter 566: Aftersound
"More than ten years of preparation have come to naught, and the navy is really the service that lost the entire war in one afternoon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info After receiving the news of Makanov's defeat, Ruprecht said with a sigh. He knows that so far, apart from the United States, the general trend in this world has coincided with history. If nothing else, the Russians will be defeated, and then they will finally join the Entente with the economic assistance of Britain and France, and then the Entente, led by Britain, France and Russia, will confront the Central Powers dominated by Germany, Austria and Turkey, as for Italy? The country is still being consumed in North Africa and Turkey, and hopefully it will continue to be consumed.
When the news of the naval battle in the South China Sea reached Japan, the victorious Japanese were naturally overjoyed, cheering and rejoicing in their victory, and the French and British were also happy with the Japanese, and the Russians had planted a big heel in the Far East at the beginning of the war, which was definitely a good thing for both countries. The British continued to watch as the Russians sank deeper and deeper, while the French made money from the Russians and figured out how to put a few nooses around the Russians' necks.
The Russians did not give up, at least Nicholas II did not want to admit defeat like this, on the one hand, the propaganda apparatus of the Russian government began to trumpet the meanness and shamelessness of the Japanese, and started the war by means of a sneak attack, which is indeed the case, the Japanese are absolutely worth the money this time, and at the same time the whole country of Russia has entered a state of war readiness, more and more supplies are being transported from Europe to the Far East, and the temporary defeat at sea has not completely lost confidence in the Russians, and they now have an army that has been prepared for more than ten years! However, to the surprise of the Russians, on the day of the outbreak of the great battle at sea, the Japanese Army launched the first ...... attack.
"The Russian Navy has already lost, they have lost the opportunity to fundamentally solve Japan, the remaining fleet is separated in two directions, and even if we give assistance according to the original plan, it will not solve the problem." On the one hand, Benson was surprised by the correct analysis of the situation by the Bavarian ****, and on the other hand, he also expressed his concern about the situation to Roosevelt.
"Looks like we're losing again this time, isn't it? Perhaps it was a mistake to intend to break the game from the perspective of Russia from the very beginning, which is rotten, outdated, backward, and out of step with this era. Completely not in line with our requirements. Roosevelt was also aware of the outcome of this war, it is true that Japan could not completely expel Russian power from the Northeast, but Japan could at least further expand its sphere of influence on the Far Eastern continent, the Russians could not fight, the Japanese had the support of the British, and the Russians' financiers did not want Russia to fight again, then this war would absolutely not continue.
"It seems that six years have passed, and the encirclement network that has bound the development of the United States has not weakened but strengthened. If this war is won, the Japanese will become the undisputed regional hegemon of the Far East, and Russia will become an ally of Britain and France, and all our efforts will be in vain! Loans, warships that helped the Russians build were made wedding dresses for others. The old powers, led by Britain, France and Russia, will unite enough to deal with all the crises in this world. Benson also said helplessly.
"Don't look at the situation so badly, the greatest crisis of the British is yet to come, the British have always been concerned with only two things, one is sea power and shipping, and the other is the equilibrium of the European continent. The latter was especially important for the British, and now the equilibrium in Europe was in danger of being broken, and the Franco-Russian alliance was much weaker than the German-Austrian alliance. If the British wanted to balance, then they had to take matters into their own hands, and if it was a protracted war, the blow to Britain, France and Russia would be devastating. ”
Roosevelt said with a smile. Russia is just a move for him, and it is good to be able to take out Japan, but it doesn't matter if it can't, because the United States of America has a better option. Imagine how wonderful it would be for Europe to be devastated in this great war, and the United States to come out unscathed and even open up the situation in the Far East during this time?
"It will be an unusually protracted war, and whatever the final outcome of the war between the two sides, the lights of European civilization will be extinguished after the war." After half a ring, Benson said quietly. He could not imagine that when five or six European powers decided to go to war, it would be a great war that would affect the whole world, and all the world's largest powers except the United States would probably be involved. The two sides are evenly matched, and they are extremely confident in their own strength, and the war will be fought in their territories, colonies, and the world's oceans, and now the attrition of the war will be an extremely terrifying number.
"What we need to do is make this war as long as possible, make it as miserable as possible for both sides, and then end it with an undefeated ending! The hatred will continue, and after the war is over, their first consideration will not be how to heal the wounds of the war, but how to defeat their opponents again in the future, and the Germans will remain confined to the interior of the European continent as important pawns in front of Britain, France and Russia, and the British will fall from the pinnacle of sea power, and then our opportunity will come! Roosevelt's smiling face looked a little terrifying to Benson!
There are only interests between countries. In order to make the United States not stand on the side of the Entente in the end, the prince calculated that the Americans were merciless, and the Americans also used the Germans as a pawn for their own interests, and the two sides only had common interests in some aspects, Ruprecht **** would treat Austria-Hungary as a friend, but he would never treat the United States as a friend, and he only believed part of the Americans' promises, and what about the United States? Although in principle they support the confrontation between the Germans and Britain and France, they absolutely do not want to see a Germany strong enough to go out of Europe! When the two sides are talking about wine, there are also all kinds of calculations behind the scenes.
"It seems that in order to achieve this goal, we have to deal with that Bavarian **** for a long time, to be honest, I don't feel that he is a suitable ally, because he is too smart, sees far, and is very means." Benson said with a slight frown.
"So what? He is not the Kaiser, and from a strategic point of view, he is only a passive bearer, and sooner or later the conflict between the old empires such as Britain and France and the emerging powers such as Germany and Austria will occur, what can he do other than actively deal with it? He will accept our loans, then give us what we want, and then fight the British for the good of the United States! Roosevelt said nonchalantly.
