The signing of the Treaty of Brest between the Russian government and Germany officially withdrew from the war caused an uproar throughout the world. The German government insisted that this was a victory for Germany and the Allies as a whole, and that they had already won the Eastern Front and were about to win on the Western Front. The war would end with the victory of Germany and the Allies.

At the same time, a large number of German* troops began to be transferred to the Western Front, putting increasing pressure on the Allied forces on the Western Front.

In London, the capital of England, the internal meetings of the Entente continued. Although, the countries have already reached an agreement on containing Soviet Russia and, if necessary, intervening in Soviet Russia. However, the problem that is still tangled is undoubtedly that countries want to use the strength of the Chinese Empire to strangle Soviet Russia, but they are unwilling to watch China expand westward again. Naturally, the Chinese Empire was not willing to do thankless work. So, the two sides have been at a stalemate. Originally, Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du and Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi both wanted to return to China. But Wu Haoxuan instructed them that the variables would happen soon. The Entente will definitely compromise.

When the news of the signing of the "Brest Treaty" between the Russian government and Germany came, the delegates of the participating countries were shocked.

"Betrayal, this is a betrayal of the Covenant by the Russians, who actually reneged on the Treaty and colluded with the Germans. We must punish the Russians and destroy the Russian government! British Prime Minister Lloyd George said.

U.S. Secretary of State Brian and Japanese Prime Minister Masayi Terauchi both nodded their heads in agreement with Lloyd George. However, French Prime Minister Clemenceau and Italian Prime Minister Orlando do do not seem to care. As for Chinese Prime Minister Yang Du, he was silent. Aren't these guys trying to curb China's expansion? Then don't blame the empire for standing by and watching.

"Your Excellency, the main forces of the Germans are being transferred from the Eastern Front to the Western Front. According to the information we have, the Germans will soon launch another major offensive on the Western Front. I think. At this time, our main forces should continue to concentrate on the Western Front, against the Germans, and not to interfere with the Soviet government. After defeating the Germans, we can go back to interfering with the Russian government. The Germans, and the German-led Allies, were our worst enemies. French Prime Minister Clemenceau said. He insisted on putting the defeat of Germany in the first place. As for the Soviet Russian government, as long as it did not threaten France, they naturally did not want to pay attention to it. In the period of history that Wu Haoxuan is familiar with, although France sent troops to participate in the intervention of the Russian army, there were only 760 people in total. What can such a small army do?

"Prime Minister Clemenceau, that's not what I said. The Bolsheviks were the great enemies of the whole world, and they were very good at seducing the lower classes. If left to their devices. By the time we had defeated Germany, they were already very strong. At that time, it will be very difficult to destroy Soviet Russia again. U.S. Secretary of State Brian said.

Prime Minister Clemenceau pursed his lips and said nothing more. In his opinion, Russia has now lost a lot of strength, even if the Soviet Russian government is in power and wants to develop. It's also very difficult. For France, it will not pose much of a threat. Deal. If Soviet Russia is really powerful at that time, then it is better to give up interfering in Soviet Russia.

The attitude of the French made Britain and the United States and other countries very dissatisfied.

"Your Excellency Lloyd George, Your Excellency Brian, the Japanese government is willing to raise the number of troops intervening in Soviet Russia from 100,000 to 200,000. However, our army is poorly equipped. I'm afraid that countries will need to provide us with weapons. In addition, we do not have enough funds to mobilize these troops, and I am afraid, we will need a loan. Japanese Prime Minister Masatakeshi Terauchi jumped out.

The Japanese government is willing to send 200,000 troops to intervene in Soviet Russia, which can be said to have solved everyone's urgent need. As for the weapons and loans that Japan needs. This is nothing at all for Britain and the United States. Britain and the United States can easily provide Japan with what they want.

Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du and Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi frowned, and they could see that the Japanese clearly wanted to use this time to interfere in Russia and strive for more benefits for Japan. This was undoubtedly a threat to the Chinese Empire. They didn't pay much attention to it, though. The wars of the past few years have ushered in a blowout development of the Chinese Empire. The gap between the Chinese Empire and Japan has widened. If Japan wants to seek revenge on China, it is almost impossible for it to happen.

"Your Excellency Yang Du, what about the Chinese Empire? If the Chinese Empire chooses to sit idly by, then we hope that the Chinese Empire will allow the Japanese military to take advantage of China for the sake of the whole world. Lloyd George said with a smile. He believed that if Japan could send 200,000 troops to attack Soviet Russia, plus those troops in Russia who resisted the Bolsheviks, it should be able to defeat Soviet Russia.

"I'm sorry, but the Empire won't agree to the Japanese army." Yang Du obviously didn't get in the oil and salt.

Lloyd George was annoyed, but couldn't help it. Field Marshal Douglas Haig reported to him that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had formally requested repairs. This made the strength of the coalition forces on the battlefield very tense. You must know that the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which has reached 500,000 troops and has strong combat effectiveness, has become a main force of the Allied Forces on the Western Front, and if the Chinese Expeditionary Force is unwilling to continue fighting, then it will be very difficult for them to defeat the German offensive this time.

"Your Excellency Yang Du, the territory of the Chinese Empire is already large enough, and it can be regarded as the largest country in the world. Are you not satisfied? U.S. Secretary of State Brian said.

Many people nodded secretly, the territory of the Chinese Empire is definitely the first in the world. It is also the most populous in the world. In terms of industrial strength, it is probably only second to the United States. Coupled with the great military power of the Chinese Empire, such a country was already too powerful. If the Chinese Empire is allowed to continue to expand, then the position of world hegemon will probably be surrendered by the British.

"Your Excellency, this is not an expansion of the Chinese Empire, we just want to regain our homeland. A few decades ago, when China's national power weakened, Russia seized the opportunity to plunder a large amount of territory belonging to China. Now, the Chinese Empire has recovered these territories, and there is nothing wrong with this at all. Yang Du was resolute. He knew that these guys didn't dare to really turn against China at all, they were just a bunch of paper tigers, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Hasn't China already recovered those territories? You have even occupied the whole of Eastern Siberia. Brian said.

"No, that's just part of the territory that China has lost. There are also those territories south and southwest of Lake Baikal. and those territories in northwestern China all the way to Central Asia. It's all still in the hands of the Russians. Yang Du shook his head.

Lloyd George, Brian and others all looked a little unsightly. The Chinese Empire is waving the banner of recovering its homeland, and they really have no way to stop it. What's more, with the current strength of the Chinese Empire, if China ignores them and directly sends troops to attack, then they will have no choice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Chinese Empire does not want to contradict you on this issue. The reason why we haven't launched an offensive until now is just to save face for you. If, because of this, you think that the Chinese Empire is easy to bully, I think you are very wrong. Yang Du continued.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's not forget that the longer we delay on this issue, the more time Soviet Russia will have to develop. At that time, it will be even more difficult for us to strangle Soviet Russia. British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour reminded.

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, if they could not reach an agreement and were reluctant to send troops, the troops in Russia who resisted the Bolsheviks would certainly not be the opponent of the Soviet Russian government. Once they are defeated, it will probably be even more difficult for countries to intervene in Soviet Russia.

"The Chinese Empire must ensure that it only recovers those territories that have been occupied by Russia, and must not continue to expand." Lloyd George said.

"Of course, I can make guarantees on behalf of the Chinese Empire." Yang Du nodded.

"So, do you have any opinions?" Lloyd George asked.

US Secretary of State Brian opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He knew that Yang Du's guarantee would not have any effect. Once the Chinese start to attack Russia, they will certainly encroach on a large amount of Russian territory. When the time comes, it will become a fait accompli, and all countries will have no way to take China, so they can't really go to war with China, right? Not to mention whether they can win against China, the people of all countries will never allow them to go to war with a world power like China after they have fought a world war.

"Very well, since we have all agreed, then we have officially decided to send troops to intervene in the Russian Revolution and help the Tsar and the Russian bourgeoisie to restore power." Lloyd George said.

Everyone else nodded their heads, but the Western countries were just talking about the scene, and they didn't send many troops at all. In the period of history that Wu Haoxuan is familiar with, the British only sent more than 1,000 people, the French sent more than 700, the United States sent more than 10,000, and Italy also sent 2,000 people. However, in this world, the Japanese promised to send 200,000 people to the war. As for the Chinese Empire, there were already five group armies on the border, with 750,000 men on standby. The empire has long been sharpening its knives and is ready to slaughter Russia. (To be continued.) )
