Thank you for the reward of the two buddies who brushed away the old thoughts of the world and the old thoughts of the world! Brothers, support some more recommended votes! Also, there must be no children reading this book, right?

I can't play happily anymore!

On October 15, 1916, the U.S. Congress approved the 28th President of the United States of America, Thomas Brown. Woodrow. Wilson, who officially declared war on behalf of the United States on the Second German Reich in the Allies.

On the same day, the Second German Reich, having received a declaration of war, declared war on the United States of America. On October 16, the day after the Second German Reich declared war on the United States, Austria-Hungary followed the Second German Reich in declaring war on the United States.

On October 17 of the same year, Wilson again declared war on Austria-Hungary. Almost half an hour after the United States declared war on Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria also officially declared war on the United States.

Why did the United States rush to declare war on the Second German Reich? Didn't even wait for the "Zimmerman Telegram" incident to happen!

What is the justification for the US government's declaration of war? It was the Second German Reich's broken engagement in the Atlantic that seriously threatened American interests and endangered U.S. national security, and then the Navy of the Second German Reich sank American merchant ships more than once, and as many as nearly 1,000 American citizens were buried at the bottom of the sea.

That's right, the Wilson administration in the United States raised the banner of seeking justice and justice for the American citizens who were killed in the German naval attack.

The German navy has long drawn up a war zone, and has repeatedly stated that any country's ships entering the navy will take reasonable compensation in the event of a false attack, but solemnly warns that they must not enter the war zone.

Yes, the Second German Reich had already been notified in advance and had proposed a plan of reparations. There is no doubt that this is to not provoke the United States too much, after all, the largest trade neutral country of the Entente countries is the United States. And the Second German Reich was deeply afraid that the United States would enter the war, so the above announcement appeared.

The United States would enter the war early because the British and French governments had made it clear to Wilson's government that the Allied forces could no longer win at Verdun, and that the Germans would get their ticket to Paris as long as they won Verdun.

At the same time, the British and French governments also admitted to the United States that the Battle of the Somme, which they launched in order to relieve Verdun, would also face failure, and not only would they not be able to relieve the crisis on Verdun's side, but also caused the Allied forces to lose a large number of troops on the other side of the Somme.

Yes, the Entente really said frankly, for example, France is about to face defeat, for example, Britain said that it does not have enough troops to continue to compete with the German army on the European continent, but the Entente also has something to hide, that is, data on battlefield casualties.

The Entente powers, led by Britain and France, were quite clear about whether the United States would be able to accept a European presence led by the Second German Reich. Once the Second German Reich became the hegemon of Europe, would it be a good or bad thing for the United States?

The contradictions between the United States of America and the Second German Reich existed, but they did not go to the point of declaring war on each other. The contradictions are mainly due to the events that preceded the war, such as the fact that the Second German Reich continued to sell arms to some countries in South America and export industrial products and technology to countries such as Mexico on the few German islands in the Pacific Ocean.

In addition, there is a very strange thing, and that is that the trade volume between the Second German Reich and the United Nations of America is really not very good.

The trade quota between the world's first industrial country and the world's second industrial country is small, which is actually a very abnormal situation. But! We must not forget that the United States has a thing called the "Protection Act", which restricts the flow of goods from other countries into the United States in large quantities, but the United States can sell its own goods to the world.

Kaiser Wilhelm II also began to restrict the flow of American goods to Germany because the United States had the Protection Act. This should only be a countermeasure, a reciprocal trade policy, at least in the eyes of the Kaiser. However, in the eyes of the Americans, that is not equal.

Yankee hegemony had arisen before the outbreak of the First World War, both "I can do it, you can't do it".

Britain, the world hegemon, has adopted an attitude of ignoring the hegemony of the United States, including France, and even the United States has hinted that the Americas are forbidden, and Britain, as a global hegemon, has not said this, but Britain has never set foot in the Americas. There is only one country in the world that has defied the hegemony of the United States, and that is the Second German Reich.

Indeed, only the Second German Reich extended its hand to the Americas, and even constantly instigated Mexico to challenge the United States.

Tell me if the Kaiser is sick in the brain! He even instigated Mexico, which was nothing at all, to attack the world's largest industrial power, just because the United States, which in the eyes of the Kaiser, had only a few hundred thousand troops, and its military strength was extremely weak. The Kaiser then selectively ignored the industrial power of the United States.

Mexico is not ***, they know very well what will happen to the United States, but the Mexicans have not objected, and have repeatedly reaped benefits from the Second German Reich, as for attacking the United States or something...... Don't give a reply.

It doesn't matter what grievances there were before, the important thing is that the United States has declared war on all the member states of the Central Powers, and Li Qi, who heard the news, is standing on the position that originally belonged to the Entente.

...... the Entente troops had withdrawn from the Somme front a day earlier, it could not be called a retreat, it should be called a rout. The German army on the Verdun side declared victory, and the German army on the Somme side also declared victory, and the German army won great victories in two important battlefields, one after the other.

Litch was particularly prominent at the Battle of the Somme, and he learned that his rank would not be promoted for a short time, but that the royal family would privately reward him with some land and money. It should have been something to be happy about, but he couldn't be happy at all, Germany had two great victories, but ......

France did not surrender, the old government fell, a new government was formed, the new French government moved the capital to Bordeaux, and then made a strong declaration: France will continue to fight against the evil allies, fight to the point of a soldier, as long as there is one more person left in France, France will definitely not give in!

At the same time, the new French government issued another notice, that is, Paris was declared an undefended city. It is equivalent to telling the Second German Reich that if you like to occupy Paris, go and occupy it, but do no harm to her.

The British royal family also took the initiative to contact the Kaiser for the first time after the war, saying that Paris is a beautiful city and that she is a treasure that belongs to all of Europe.

Britain was followed by other countries, including those allies of Germany, and they all agreed that the Germans really didn't want to inflict any trauma on Paris.

Of course, Li Qi didn't know so much, he only knew that the United States had declared war on the Second German Reich, and then Duan Qirui's government had also declared war on the Second German Reich.

Hearing that China had declared war on the Second German Reich, Richie felt a feeling in his heart that he did not know how to describe it.
