"Mr. Roosevelt, I have to admit that the United States is a powerful nation. It has only been less than two years since the end of the war, but the United States has come out of the shadow of the war, began to slowly recover its strength, and burst out with formidable national strength. And my Russia, still suffering from the poison of war! Tsar Nicholas II said. This war, and the subsequent rebellion, changed the always arrogant and conceited Tsar Nicholas II a lot, he has realized that Russia is not as strong as he imagined, if he does not want to be destroyed, then he can only put down his arrogance, fight with other heads of state, and it is best to form an alliance, so that Russia, which is under the front of the Chinese, can continue to exist. Reality always makes people make the right changes.

"Your Majesty, you have won the prize. It has taken more than 100 years of development for the United States to achieve what it is today. However, the strong industrial power of the United States is only expressed in the commercial field. In the military sphere, we are still far behind. Although the efforts have already begun, there is still a long way to go to defeat that formidable enemy! Theodore Roosevelt replied. There is no doubt that the industrial power of the United States has climbed to the first place in the world. However, industrial strength is not equal to military strength, and the weakness of military strength has caused the United States to suffer a great loss. China has cut a large piece of meat from the United States, which it has used to develop itself. In time, once China has exhausted the benefits of the war, it will be able to explode into a power that will terrify the whole world.

"Mr. Roosevelt, the despicable Chinese, is taking advantage of the fact that the United States is not ready. before starting the war. If the war had broken out not in 1899, but in 1901, perhaps the outcome of the war would have been different! Tsar Nicholas II lamented.

Theodore Roosevelt nodded. If the war had broken out two years later, the strength of the US Navy would have more than doubled. In the second Sino-US Pacific naval war, it would not have been so lightly lost to the Chinese. Even if in the end it still can't change the outcome of the war and defeat the Chinese, after all, the strength of the Turkish fleet of the Chinese Navy is too strong, but. It's just that it can change the outcome of the United States. If the U.S. Navy can win, then they will have enough strength to protect the West Coast of the United States from attack, the U.S. Army will have more time to arm itself, and American industry can be transformed into military power. In that case. Even China would not dare to land in the United States lightly! Even if hundreds of thousands of squadrons land in the United States, the final victor will not necessarily be Chinese.

It's just that this is all their later speculation. It has already happened, and the Chinese have become the big winners of the war two years ago, reaping the enviable benefits. And with the help of these benefits. China will inevitably become stronger, and sooner or later it will threaten them again. Whether it's for revenge or self-preservation, countries like the United States and Russia. There is no way out, they can only seize the time to develop themselves, and then form an alliance and unite to confront China. Individual countries. It is already destined not to be China's opponent.

"Mr. Roosevelt, I always thought. Those despicable yellow-skinned monkeys are a great threat to the entire Western world. They are rude, ignorant, ignorant and backward, and their roots do not belong to the Ming race, and they bring war to the whole world. I think that we, the whole Western world, should unite and deal with those yellow-skinned monkeys together! Nicholas II said.

"Of course, Your Majesty, I fully agree with your point of view. However, the Western world is not monolithic! The Allies, led by Germany, had close ties with China. If it weren't for Germany's support, those Chinese roots would not have been able to develop into the way they are now! Theodore Roosevelt said. If several countries can form an alliance to deal with China, that would be exactly what he meant.

"Germans? Those arrogant Germanic peoples, sooner or later, will pay for their ignorance. However, although Germany was strong, they lacked resources, did not have many colonies overseas, and with a powerful British navy in the North Sea, Germany could not threaten the world. As long as we can get rid of those yellow-skinned monkeys, then the whole world will be full of peace! Nicholas II said.

"That's right, that's right. Although the British Navy was defeated in the last war, it will not be long before the Navy recovers its strength with British heritage. The British Navy wanted to blockade Germany, which was not a problem at all. The main trouble now is the Chinese. However, I believe that the British will not refuse our kindness this time! Theodore Roosevelt said. The reason why he came to attend Queen Victoria's funeral and the enthronement of the new King Edward VII in person this time was to benefit from the British. In terms of funding, the United States does not lack it, what they lack is technology. Although, with the help of Britain, the construction of the next class of battleships, the 'Connecticut-class' battleships, such battleships can only match the Chinese' 'Chinese-class' battleships at best. The Chinese Pacific Fleet now has two 'Zhonghua-class' battleships and two 'Qin-class' battleships. Even if the US Navy's 'Connecticut-class' battleships will be built six at once, there is still no good chance of victory against the Chinese' Pacific Fleet. What's more, before the Panama Canal was opened, the US Navy had to make a detour of more than 20,000 kilometers from South America to the West Coast, which gave the Chinese Navy an excellent opportunity to wait for work! Therefore, the U.S. Navy had to build more new battleships, and the U.S. Navy's own low-class battleships, the 'Mississippi-class' battleships, and subsequent improvements, had to get more relevant technology from Britain.

Tsar Nicholas II and Theodore Roosevelt had a great conversation. Tsar Nicholas II took the opportunity to present Theodore Roosevelt with the dilemma that Russia was now facing. Theodore Roosevelt also assured Tsar II that when he became president of the United States, he would provide support to Russia. In contrast, for the United States, having an ally like Russia threatening China behind the flank will also make the United States more secure. It is very much in the interests of the United States to help Russia and confront China.

Later, British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour joined the crowd. They are all victims of the last war, and they have a common language. Faced with the same enemy, these three countries have involuntarily come together. Moreover, they are actively preparing to draw another victim country, France, into it. In this way, the four countries are in an alliance, a real alliance, not a loose alliance like in the last war. In this way, we will be able to deal with the Chinese threat.

Of course, the actions of Britain, the United States, and Russia also alarmed Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Although Britain has fallen a big heel, it is still the world's first power, the United States is the most powerful country in the new industry, and Russia, although it is declining, the most purified part of Europe is still under control, and it can lightly arm millions of troops. If these countries are united, they will have the power to change the whole world.

Kaiser Wilhelm II was secretly determined to draw China into their alliance. Even if it is related to the leadership of the Central Powers, there is no need for China to join the Central Powers, but Germany must also form an alliance with China, or a secret alliance!

Soon, February 18 arrived. On this day, it was Queen Victoria's funeral, and the whole of London was plunged into endless mourning. A large number of Britons, who came from all over the United Kingdom, came to see off their esteemed Majesty the Queen. It was this queen who ruled Britain for sixty-four years that made Britain the most powerful country in the world.

The cardinal archbishop who came from the Vatican personally presided over the funeral of Queen Victoria, and if it were not for the Pope's advanced age, I am afraid that he would have come in person. The funeral was very solemn, and almost all the most important national leaders of the world gathered here. Among the funeral crowds were the new King Edward VII, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Tsar Nicholas II, King of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele III, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, King Alfonso XIII of Spain, and many more.

Although Wang Yuze attended Queen Victoria's funeral, he did not appear in the funeral crowd. The people who sent the funeral were all relatives of Queen Victoria, and he and Queen Victoria were not related, so naturally there was no need to go to the funeral. Roosevelt Theodore, the Republican presidential candidate from the United States, also did not go to the funeral of Queen Victoria, but talked enthusiastically with Wang Yuze. Although Wang Yuze knew that the future president of the United States would definitely hate him to death in his heart, he still talked to him with a smile on his face, which made Wang Yuze very proud. The president of the United States in later generations, which one is not coaxed by cowhide! And a hundred years ago, when the United States had not yet become the world's number one power, the president of the United States was not a very powerful role.

Dealing with Theodore Roosevelt with hypocrisy, Wang Yuze simply returned to the state guesthouse to accompany his wife. It's just that now the whole of London is immersed in sorrow, and it's not a good opportunity to visit London. Otherwise, he would like to take advantage of this time to visit London.

The solemn funeral lasted three days before it ended. After the funeral, the leaders of the countries did not leave, and a month later, it was the enthronement of the new King Edward VII.
