In the banquet hall, when Wang Yuze was talking with Kaiser Wilhelm II, a pair of red eyes stared at him. However, Wang Yuze didn't seem to notice this, or even if he did, he didn't care. The owner of these eyes is a tall middle-aged man, with a typical beard, with that tall and straight figure, very obvious Slavic features. He was Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, his wife, and the granddaughter of Queen Victoria. After the death of Queen Victoria, he also rushed to London from St. Petersburg with his wife. Fortunately, the situation in Russia has stabilized a lot, otherwise he would not have dared to leave Russia lightly.

The rebellion in southern Russia continued. It's just that, despite the support of China, the rebels of the Russian Democratic Labor Party led by Ulyanov have been defeated by the Russian ** team again after the initial madness. The scale of the current war is mainly charged in the Caucasus. In Ukraine and the Don region, there were also small battles that broke out. But on the whole, there was no longer any problem for Russia to quell the uprising. Once again, Ulyanov asked Germany and China for help. However, seeing that there was no benefit to be gained in this war, Germany rejected Ulyanov's request, and severed contact with him, erasing all traces of it. On the contrary, the Chinese side proposed that if Ulyanov had nowhere to go, he could go to Central Asia to live temporarily. Of course, there is a precondition, that is, the Russian Democratic Labor Party is not allowed to develop in China's controlled areas. Otherwise. China will use thunderous means to destroy the Russian Democratic Labor Party outright. Wang Yuze does not want the Russian Democratic Labor Party to take root in China.

Tsar Nicholas II hated Wang Yuze to death. In the last war, Russia was arguably the biggest loser. Not to mention the loss of most of the territory, almost all the wealth accumulated by the Russian imperial family over hundreds of years has been emptied by the Chinese. And the outbreak of civil strife in Russia has made Russia's situation even worse. Although the civil strife is about to subside, Russia is already heavily indebted. Governments are on the verge of bankruptcy. In addition, Russia's most important grain-producing regions, Ukraine and the Don region, also suffered very heavy losses in this civil strife. can be met, in the next year or two. There will definitely be a large-scale famine in Russia, and the days ahead in Russia will be very difficult. And the culprit of this qiē is China, the young and terrifying emperor, so that Tsar Nicholas II wanted to rush up immediately and blow his head out.

"Uncle. Please mourn and be happy! I believe that my grandmother will live a very happy life in heaven! Tsar Nicholas II and his wife came to Edward VII's side and comforted.

"Well, thank you. Your Majesty, I'm fine. I don't have much time to grieve that the whole of Britain is in a critical moment. I also need to lead and lead the British people. Overcome the current difficulties! Edward VII said in high spirits. After being the crown prince for decades, Edward VII was still very excited about the opportunity to sit on the British throne when he was old.

"Of course, uncle. I am confident that under your leadership, Britain will soon become the world's number one power. However, don't you think that it is the evil Eastern Empire that is responsible for the turmoil in the whole world? I seem to have seen the sight of another westward expedition of the yellow race, which will bring great disaster to the whole of Europe! Tsar Nicholas II said. He knew that relying on Russia's current strength alone, he would not be able to confront China at all. Therefore, he can only win over other countries as much as possible. And the United Kingdom, which has a huge heritage, is undoubtedly a very good candidate.

"Your Majesty, Tsar, you are very right. However, the current situation is very unoptimistic. The Eastern Empire has risen completely, and unless our entire West unites, it is impossible for the root to defeat them. And will we, the whole West, be able to unite? William, that little guy, I'm afraid that what he is thinking about now is how to unite with the Eastern Empire to defeat us so that we can divide the world! Edward VII said disdainfully. There is no doubt that in the last war, Britain suffered a crushing defeat. But Britain still has a strong navy, they can still dominate Europe, they can still blockade the North Sea, and keep Germany on the European continent. Of course, the strong rise of the Chinese navy has given Britain a huge challenge. In particular, the kind of battleship called the battlecruiser that China has just put into service, this is completely a vicious battleship designed against the British! Fortunately, the British had already found a solution, and soon they would be able to build a sizable number of such warships to protect Britain's fragile sea lines of communication. As long as it can get a steady stream of replenishment from the colonies, Britain will not be defeated! Edward VII was very confident in this! Of course, the life or death of those colonial people is not their concern.

"Uncle, Britain has great strength, and there is no need to be afraid of those yellow-skinned monkeys, but Russia is different. In the last war, Russia suffered huge losses. And the damned untouchables in the country have rebelled again. Although the rebellion of the untouchables was now about to be suppressed, it had inflicted great losses on Russia. Therefore, I hope that my uncle will be able to lend a helping hand and help Russia. Otherwise, a weak Russia would not be able to resist the attack of those yellow-skinned monkeys. And once Russia is defeated, I'm afraid, the next Yellow Peril is just around the corner! Tsar Nicholas II said.

Edward VII frowned, if China wants to expand outward, it will mainly be to Australia in the south, India and the Middle East in the southwest, and Russia in the west. Both Australia and India are very important to the UK. If Russia were to be defeated by China because of its great loss of strength, and China's power invaded Europe, it would be a great disaster for Britain and the entire Western world. Therefore, from the British standpoint, it is very advantageous to support Russia and use Russia as a bridgehead to resist China's westward expansion.

"Your Majesty the Tsar, these major national affairs need to be discussed with the Prime Minister. However, I know Prime Minister Arthur Belfour, and I can see the problem we are facing. For the sake of our common enemy, we will join forces! Edward VII said with a smile.

"Yes, I see, thank you uncle for your help!" Tsar Nicholas II said excitedly. He knew that the Yellow Peril theory, which he had so vigorously promoted, had been paid. If Britain had come to the rescue, Russia would have fared much better. Of course, he is also very clear about the idea of the British. But now Russia has no choice but to do so.

Tsar Nicholas II left his wife and walked around the banquet hall, during which countless English noble women tried to invite Tsar Nicholas II to dance, but he refused. Now, he had something to do, but he didn't have time to pay attention to these noble ladies, and he had to continue to find people to sell his Yellow Peril theory, so as to gain more support for Russia. It is a pity that French President Emile-François Lube will not arrive until next month, otherwise Tsar Nicholas II would have been able to sell his views to this big creditor. The French were keen on capital export rather than industrial construction, which made France earn huge wealth, but its industrial power was surpassed by the United States, Germany and later China. However, the French are still happy to export capital. Tsar Nicholas II believed that sooner or later the French would pay for it.

"Mr. Roosevelt, it's such a pleasure to see you!" Seeing Theodore Roosevelt, who was talking to several English nobles in the corner of the banquet hall, Tsar Nicholas II immediately walked over. The United States and Russia are tantamount to a pair of brothers and sisters in this war. Both countries were defeated by China, and then extorted by China. The only difference is that Russia seems to have suffered more losses, and its national power is far less powerful than that of the United States. The United States has gradually shaken off the adverse effects of the war and began to develop rapidly, but Russia is still stuck in the quagmire of war, which makes Nicholas II very envious.

"Your Majesty the Tsar, I am very happy to see you!" Theodore Roosevelt, with glasses, replied politely.

"Mr. Roosevelt, should I congratulate you in advance, and perhaps the next time we meet, I should call you Your Excellency the President of the United States!" Tsar Nicholas II said.

His Majesty the Tsar smiled, the election is not over yet, and no one can say who will win in the end. However, I believe that only those who fight wholeheartedly for the good of the American people will win the final election! Theodore Roosevelt said with some conceit. As the Republican presidential candidate, his domestic support is very high, far ahead of the Democratic presidential candidates. In his opinion, there will be no problem in becoming the next president of the United States. Representing the United States at Queen Victoria's funeral and Edward VII's enthronement was a great opportunity for him to build good relations with the rest of the world. The last time it was defeated by China, the United States does not want to take revenge all the time. It's just that Theodore Roosevelt said that with the strength of the United States itself, even if it bursts out with its powerful industrial strength, it may be difficult to defeat China. After all, in the last war, China, which received huge war reparations, has already begun to develop rapidly. China's powerful military power is even more incapable of the United States than it can catch up. Therefore, if it wants to take revenge, the United States must abandon isolation and find like-minded allies!
