The alliance between France and Japan made the Tang Empire nervous, and Britain, as a long-term traditional ally of France, became awkward and ambiguous.

The situation in Shijie suddenly surged.

The day after the signing of the Franco-Japanese alliance, Hitler conveyed his attitude to Zhang Meng through the Tang Embassy in Germany, and Hitler expressed his attitude against the Franco-Japanese alliance and hoped to build a German-Tang military alliance.

Zhang Meng was stunned, history at this moment because of the relationship instigated by his butterfly wings, and now it has undergone great changes. Because of the close military cooperation between Tang and Germany and the undying hostile relationship between Tang and Japan, the possibility of a German-Japanese alliance is very low, and with Hitler's IQ, if he chooses between Tang and Japan, it will inevitably be the Tang Dynasty.

"Ask about the attitude of France, are they going to war with us?"

Zhang Meng did not reply to Hitler, but ordered Shangshu Province to question the French government in the most solemn manner, clearly indicating the hostile relationship between the Tang Empire and the Japanese Empire, and asking France to give a clear answer.

At the beginning, there were also different opinions within the French government, and the original intention of the Paul government was to create friction between the Tang and Japan, and use Japan to balance the Tang Dynasty and France to profit. Unexpectedly, things became complicated, and the Tang Empire demanded a response from France in a questioning tone, and demanded that France clearly state its position and not allow France's ambiguous attitude.

"Even an island nation dares to shout against the French Empire?"

French public opinion is very unhappy, as the victor of World War I, since the end of the war, France has received war reparations from Germany, in fact, the foundation is still very strong, and the comprehensive national strength is not comparable to the Tang Empire.

Faced with the questioning of the Tang Empire. Paul's government had no choice but to save face, reiterated the content of the Franco-Japanese alliance, and demanded that the Tang Empire not act rashly.

This is tantamount to a positive response to the Tang Empire. France's firm support for Japan was demonstrated.

After Zhang Meng in Daming Palace learned the news, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he had been building a big jihua in his heart, that jihua originally planned to take advantage of the outbreak of the second shijie war, when the great powers of various countries ate the dog's hair, the Tang Empire took the opportunity to rise rapidly and become a superpower to resist the United States and the Soviet Union after the war. But now Jihua can't keep up with the changes. The camp of the expected Second Shijie War has changed, and the Tang Empire is in an awkward position and will have to make a difficult choice.

Zhang Meng calculated an account in his heart. There will be a decisive battle to the death between Tang and Japan, and the outbreak of the Tang-Japanese War will inevitably involve France, the traditional alliance between Britain and France is strong, and Britain has suffered a great loss from the Tang Empire. In the end, France will inevitably be on the side. It is impractical for the Tang Dynasty to go to war with the Three Kingdoms at the same time. Germany was the best choice to contain Britain and France. However, Hitler's madman will inevitably fight on all sides, the Soviet Union will eventually be drawn into the war, and the United States will either be on the side of Britain or neutral, and it is absolutely impossible to stand on the side of Datang and Germany, which is a huge variable.

Thinking of the terrifying industrial capacity and war potential of the United States, Zhang Meng suddenly frowned.

"!"

Zhang Meng hasn't swear for a long time, which shows that he is in a very bad mood at the moment.

To be able to live in this shijie. It was supposed to be more earning, thinking of this. Zhang Meng turned his heart sideways and decided to give it a go.

"The victor is the prince and the loser is the thief, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, will he definitely lose if he cooperates with Germany? If Lao Tzu had won World War II, Shijie history textbooks would have inevitably written that Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union were fascist countries. ”

If the German army had been given help at a critical moment, the German army would not have been able to deal with Britain and would not have suffered setbacks at Stalingrad. Japan is an enemy of the Tang Dynasty and has formed an alliance with Britain and France, so it is impossible to attack Pearl Harbor again, and the isolationism in the United States is extremely strong, as long as the Tang Empire does not easily touch the ass of the Americans, the United States may not easily enter the war.

This war is not without hope of winning!

Thinking of this, Zhang Meng suddenly exuded an endless will to fight.

"Give Hitler a reply, we are willing to form an alliance!"

Zhang Meng's decision is the will of the entire Tang Empire, the officials of the Tang Empire are directly or indirectly cultivated by Zhang Meng, and they do not hesitate to support any decision of Zhang Meng, especially the military, which is the backbone of Zhang Meng, since the end of the last war against Japan, they are all gearing up, trying to improve their combat effectiveness and knowledge, after more than five years of development, the backbone elements of the year are already members of all parties in the Tang Empire, The middle class was also filled with the first batch of graduates of the Tang Empire Military Academy, and the grassroots were promoted by outstanding soldiers who had fought on the battlefield.

It's just that the only thing missing is the backup liliang. Although the Tang Empire has expanded its population base to 16 million people in recent years, the problem of military resources is no longer a key constraint, but after all, the founding of the country and the army are relatively short, and the talents trained by the empire's own military schools are only the first batch of graduates to serve. On the other hand, since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has produced more than 100,000 graduates of military academies in China, and hundreds of thousands of experienced military personnel have also been trained in the wars against China, Russia, and Germany, which are incomparable with the Tang Empire in a short period of time.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Meng agreed to Japan's request for peace a few years ago, after all, there was a shortage of talents and reserves in the Tang Army, and it was impossible to fight with the Japanese army.

Although this problem has been eased now, Zhang Meng does not dare to take risks easily, if it is not for being forced to have no choice, he Ning Yuan will develop for a few more years to strengthen his strength.

On December 5, 1935, after repeated consultations and negotiations between Tang and Germany, Tang and Germany formed a military alliance. In the same way as France and Japan, Tang and Germany also concluded an alliance under the banner of anti-Comintern. It's just that because of the delicate international situation, Tang and Germany have released rumors in advance to test the reaction of Britain, the United States, France, Italy and other countries, and as a result, France strongly protested on the grounds of the Versailles Treaty, and Britain also symbolically protested, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and the Stanley cabinet pursued a policy of appeasement and did not take practical action. The United States kept a low profile, and the Hoover administration only called on Tang, Germany, France, and Japan to sit down and have a good talk, hoping that the two camps would jointly target the Comintern and the Soviet Union and not engage in internal strife.

Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini highly admired Hitler, supported the German-German alliance, and expressed great interest in joining the German-German alliance.

The only variable was the Soviet Union, originally the four countries of Tang, Germany, France, and Japan all claimed that the anti-Comintern was aimed at the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union did not care, because the Soviet Union and the Tang Dynasty, Germany, and France did not have a conflict of core interests such as territory and economy, but after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan seized a lot of Russian land and interests in China, especially after Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces of China, which posed an imminent threat to the security of the Soviet Far East, and the Soviet and Japanese armies in the border areas were constantly in friction.

To Zhang Meng's surprise, the Soviet Union also expressed its willingness to work with the Tang Empire to contain Japan in the north and south, and even hoped to join the Tang-Germany alliance and sign a non-aggression pact with the Tang and Germany.

Zhang Meng had a headache and didn't know how to choose for a while.

This is a great opportunity, but it also contains a great risk. (To be continued......)
