Chapter 771: Lu Bei is in a hurry
The war situation between Germany and Russia has completely stirred the nerves of all the powerful countries in the world, and the invincible German Army has continuously advanced the front towards the hinterland of the Divine Empire in less than ten days, and the powerful artillery cluster has made the Russian army at the forefront have no power to fight back. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]。 The update is so fast.
Nicholas II was almost 'driven' crazy, the German army's advance was too fast, and it was only feared that the three armies of Tsarist Russia's eastward transfer had not had time to play the front line, and the German army had already arrived in St. Petersburg! If you still play a special ball, there will be only one way left to surrender according to it.
Nicholas II frantically sent telegrams to France and England, asking Britain and France to urgently intervene in the German-Russian dispute and exert the strongest political pressure on Germany to alleviate the current plight of the Tsarist Empire.
Now Nikolai needs to worry not only about the western front of the Tsarist Russian Empire, but also about the eastern front, and now the Tsarist army in Inner Mongolia, Vladivostok, and Zhili has been devastated, so that the Far East military strength of Tsarist Russia has been weakened to the extreme, if the three Western Front armies are all transferred back to the Western Front, then the Far East military strength of Tsarist Russia will be in a period of obvious weakening, and it is difficult to say whether it can withstand the military pressure of the Republic of China.
However, the retreat of the three armies is already a foregone conclusion, the Far East is important, and it is certainly not as important as St. Petersburg and Moscow, but the western part of Tsarist Russia has concentrated more than 80% of the economic power of Tsarist Russia, and there is absolutely no room for loss, not to mention that it is still the lair of Nicholas II?
It's just that it's not just Nicholas II who is anxious now, but Lube of Farasi is even more nervous now, and Tsarist Russia has mobilized three army groups to Siberia, and the west is empty.
France is also a little weak in domestic strength now, France also 'pumped' out the three group armies, ready to go to China, and the British besieged Zhang Yi's military forces in the Guannai, and now the three group armies have approached the Strait of Malacca on warships, and suddenly Germany launched such a rapid offensive against the Tsarist Russian Empire, and in just a few days, the Tsarist Russia gave him the armor and was defeated!
What to do?
All the heads of state in Europe know that Wilhelm II is a paranoid, madman, doing everything is simply wanton, never thinking about the consequences, if the German army stops attacking Tsarist Russia now, but turns around and attacks France, it will be a big trouble, you must know that France does not have the strategic depth of Russia, the area of the whole France is only three or four hundred thousand square kilometers, from the German border to Paris, France, it is only a few hundred kilometers, once the French army can not resist, France's political fu doesn't even have a place to run!
Lube's head is all sweating that has been 'forced' out, what should I do?
Withdrawal? , where is it too late to withdraw troops now, it will take at least half a month to return to France from Malacca! If Wilhelm II wanted to deal with France, it would have been too late~
Lubet was in a hurry, directly on the steamer, crossed the English Channel, and ran to London in a hurry, and now it is Britain that can restrain Germany, after all, the English 'woman' king and Wilhelm II are still cousins, the most unfortunate, the two countries together, can also block the edge of Germany.
At Buckingham Palace, Prime Minister Salisbury received Lubey.
After the two men had met each other, Lube asked eagerly: "Mr. Salisbury, now that the Germans have suddenly torn up the agreement between us, treacherously attacked Tsarist Russia, and have advanced the front into Belarus, my Prime Minister, you must come up with a convincing attitude!" ”
Salisbury looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, waved his hand at Lubet, and said: "Mr. President, you must clearly understand that although Germany is strong, he only dares to attack Tsarist Russia, he will never dare to open two fronts at the same time, and now Wilhelm II is not ready to attack France and Tsarist Russia at the same time, he is not so crazy, and declaring war on our three countries at the same time is simply self-destruction!" ”
Lube hurriedly said: "Mr. Prime Minister, what you say now is completely irrelevant, hanging high, I think at the beginning, but our two countries instigated Tsarist Russia to increase the military strength in the direction of China, and guaranteed that Germany will not attack Tsarist Russia, and now it has only been more than a month, and things have changed so much." Nikolai, that bastard, sends me no less than seven or eight telegrams a day, how do you think you want me to reply to him? ”
Salisbury frowned and said, "Mr. Lubey, this matter is easy to do!" The two of us jointly drafted a document strongly condemning Germany's aggression and demanding that Germany end the war within seven days, and that the army must withdraw from the territory of the Tsarist Empire within half a month. ”
Lubet was so angry that he almost jumped up, and roared angrily: "Mr. Salisbury, what you said is too easy, I feel that your land does not border with Germany, even if there is a war, the German army will not be able to hit the British mainland, but our France is close to Germany, as long as the German army advances two hundred kilometers from the border to the French mansion, the cannon can directly hit Paris!" You told me to make such a 'fierce' announcement, what if I completely 'provoked' that madman of Wilhelm II? He's a 'bastard' who doesn't make sense, madman! ”
Salisbury shook his head helplessly, the bystanders are clear, the authorities are 'confused', in the face of such a sharp offensive of the German army, strong troops, of course the French are very nervous, any country next to the Germans will be extremely nervous, not to mention that France has just recovered from the Franco-Prussian War, hundreds of millions of francs of war reparations, coupled with a large amount of war consumption, almost made the political Fu at that time to be 'pants', can the French not have palpitations?
Salisbury said in a deep voice: "Mr. President, I don't think you need to be so nervous, although Germany has developed rapidly in recent years, but his comprehensive strength has not surpassed ours, I can guarantee you that as long as Germany dares to expand the scale of the war, the British Army will definitely cross the English Channel as soon as possible, enter your country, and fight side by side with your country, maybe the Germans are powerful, but they are definitely not the opponent of the Anglo-French alliance!" Now, what I have to do is to try my best to stabilize the Germans, so that they can strike the best troops, if they are unwilling, then help Tsarist Russia to delay time as much as possible, as long as the three armies of Tsarist Russia return to the Western Front, then Germany will not have much chance, after all, Germany just wants to take advantage of such an opportunity, if it really fights with all its might, it will not be cost-effective, don't you say? ”
