After the Chinese Empire, the Entente and the Central Powers declared war on each other, the war between the two sides did not break out immediately, and the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire seized the time to use a large number of trucks to transport troops and war materials to the front line of the Russian Ural Mountains, especially near the city of Chelyabinsk east of the Ural Mountains, which was the place where the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire gathered the most troops.

The mountains of the Ural Mountains behind the city of Chelyabinsk are the most suitable place for the army to pass through, and the army of the Chinese Empire wants to cross the Ural Mountains, the easiest way is to conquer the city of Chelyabinsk in the east, and then the Ural Mountains become very simple for the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire.

The Imperial Chinese Army also mobilized a significant portion of its forces to the southwestern part of the Chinese Empire, targeting the British Asian colonies of India, Burma, Nepal, and Bhutan.

The Entente Britain and France, the Allied Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire also mobilized troops to Russia, and used the railways in Russia to assemble on the front line of the Ural Mountains, ready to resist the attack of the Chinese Empire together with the Russian army.

However, the combined forces of the Entente and the Central Powers, as well as the armies of the Chinese Empire, have assembled troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and the scale is very large, and the two sides can only increase their forces in a short period of time, and it may take a lot of time before the official start of the war.

The seven countries of the Entente and the Central Powers have also begun to expand their respective armies, when will they be able to completely defeat the powerful Chinese Empire. The seven countries have no bottom in their hearts, and they can only prepare for a protracted war.

The British knew that after the declaration of war. The Chinese Empire would never give up its attack on the British Asian colonies, so the British began to rearm themselves in their Asian colonies. A large number of colonial troops, mainly Indians, were quickly prepared, not to mention the combat effectiveness for the time being, it was absolutely amazing in number, as for whether they could stop the powerful Royal Army of the Chinese Empire and hold the British colonies in Asia, the British had no bottom in their hearts, and the British did everything they could, and the rest could only pray for God's blessing.

At the same time, the navies of the seven countries of the Entente and the Central Powers also began to assemble. Prepare to form a joint expeditionary fleet and sail to the waters of Asia to compete with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire at sea.

However, it is not easy for the navies of the seven countries to be assembled, and it is unknown when the joint expeditionary fleet will be able to sail to Asia, and it may take two or three months.

The smell of war smoke is getting stronger and stronger, and other countries in the world are all focusing on this war between the Chinese Empire and the Entente and the Allied Powers, and everyone understands that the scale of this war must be very large. It will even surpass the war between the Eight-Nation Alliance and Lin Daxin a few years ago, after all, in the past few years, the military strength of various countries has increased exponentially.

Some countries are very, very happy about the outbreak of this big war. One could even say that there was jubilation, and Japan was the happiest of these countries.

In the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan, Emperor Meiji of Japan said to Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Kobo, Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Tomoto, Minister of War Katsura Taro and Navy Minister Heihachiro Togo with a red face: "God bless our great Japanese empire!" Amaterasu has appeared! Britain, France, Russia of the Entente. Germany, Italy, Austria and Turkey of the Central Powers, 7 European powers fought together with the Chinese Empire. Even if the Chinese Empire has the most powerful navy, land and air force in the world, it is impossible to escape the fate of defeat! An opportunity for our Great Japanese Empire to take revenge. Inadvertently, it just appeared! ”

Needless to say, Emperor Meiji's hatred for the Chinese Empire and for Lin Daxin is needless to say, and now that the Chinese Empire has such a powerful enemy, Emperor Meiji has not closed his mouth since he learned the news of the declaration of war.

Emperor Meiji originally thought that the war between the Chinese Empire and Russia would drag the two Entente powers, Britain and France, into the war, but he never expected that even the four countries of the Central Powers would be involved together, which is really surprising.

Your Chinese Empire has nothing to do, now it's sad! The combined power of the Entente and the Central Powers is no longer something that a single country can contend with, not even the Chinese Empire today.

Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this time the Chinese Empire is definitely unlucky, the military strength of the seven European powers of the Entente and the Allied Powers together has steadily suppressed the Chinese Empire, although the Chinese Empire can survive for a period of time by relying on its strong strength, but in the end, the result of the Chinese Empire will definitely be as expected by His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Tomobayashi also said excitedly: "The war launched by the Chinese Empire against Russia this time has made the countries of Europe finally feel the threat of the Chinese Empire, and finally unite to prepare to defeat the aggressive Chinese Empire, which is really a godsend for our Empire of Japan. ”

Emperor Meiji also had this in mind, and he also hoped that Japan could rely on the big tree of the Entente and the Allies to take revenge, regain the land lost by Japan, and even gain more benefits.

If the Entente and the Allies had not declared war on the Chinese Empire this time, Japan would have to wait until it wanted to take revenge, after all, the strength of Japan and the Chinese Empire was far from the same, although Japan almost took out the coffin to develop its army and navy, but even if Japan completed the expansion of the army and navy according to the plan, the military strength of the entire Japan still cannot be compared with the Chinese Empire, and the difference is not a little bit.

As soon as Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Yubayashi's words fell, and before Emperor Meiji could speak, Japanese Navy Minister Heihachiro Togo immediately said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate for our Great Japanese Empire to join this war at present, and we still need to wait a little longer, and the time is not yet ripe. ”

Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Yubayashi frowned and said, "Togo-kun." Do you think that the Chinese Empire will be able to turn the tables in front of the entire Entente and the Central Powers this time? Now is not the time of the Eight-Nation Alliance a few years ago, when Lin Daxin suddenly got 7 dreadnought battleships. It was only the naval combined fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance that suffered a crushing defeat in the naval battle that caused a series of chain reactions. The powerful eight-nation alliance was unfortunately defeated by Lin Daxin. Now that the Entente and the Allies together have more dreadnought battleships than the Chinese Empire, and the army strength of the Chinese Empire has also surpassed that of the Chinese Empire, I firmly believe that the Chinese Empire will never create another miracle, and we in the Great Japanese Empire should seize this opportunity. ”

Heihachiro Togo said: "Yoshimoto-kun, I also think that the Chinese Empire will not be lucky to win this time, the combined strength of the 7 countries of the Entente and the Allied Powers is indeed much higher than the entire Chinese Empire, but if we join the war at this time, because of the geographical location of our Great Japanese Empire." It is very likely that the Chinese Empire will concentrate a large number of naval and land forces to launch an attack on the mainland of our Great Japanese Empire, and in that case, our Great Japanese Empire will definitely suffer very large losses, so please think twice about it. ”

Emperor Meiji and several other important Japanese ministers couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard Togo Heihachiro's words, and even Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Yubayashi did not refute it, what Togo Heihachiro said was very reasonable, Japan was too close to the Chinese Empire. The navy of the Chinese Empire was ready to attack the Japanese mainland, and on the island of Hokkaido, next to Japan's Honshu Island, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire had a naval base and a main fleet stationed. It was clearly aimed at Japan, and if the navy of the Chinese Empire concentrated its forces, it would deal with Japan first. Then the consequences will be unimaginable.

Heihachiro Togo continued: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister thinks that if our Great Japanese Empire wants to join this war against the Chinese Empire. At least until the navies of the Entente and the Central Powers defeated the main forces of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire. In this way, the Imperial Navy of the Chinese Empire would be exempted from the security of our Imperial Japanese Empire. ”

Japanese War Minister Katsura Taro said: "What Togo-kun said makes sense, Your Majesty the Emperor, we in the Great Japanese Empire must be cautious this time, and it is better to wait." ”

Emperor Meiji sighed and said: "What you said is reasonable, the newly formed 30 army standing divisions of our Great Japanese Empire are still under construction, and the three Amagi-class dreadnought battleships have not yet laid their keels, and this Emperor also thinks that our Great Japanese Empire should wait for the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire to be severely damaged before considering joining this war!" It is a pity that we cannot immediately declare war on the Chinese Empire and wash away the shame of our Great Japanese Empire, so we still have to endure it for a while. ”

Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, rest assured, this time the Chinese Empire is in a catastrophe, and our Great Japanese Empire will definitely have a chance to wash away the shame." ”

Considering the security of its homeland, Japan did not join the Eight-Nation Alliance and formally declare war on the Chinese Empire, as it did a few years ago, but chose to continue to endure it.

In addition to Japan, which was the happiest country because of the outbreak of war between the Chinese Empire and the Entente and the Allied Powers, the United States, on the other side of the Chinese Empire, was no less happy about this war than Japan.

In the office of the President of the United States in Washington, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Navy, George W. Dewey to U.S. President Theodore. Roosevelt said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, the Chinese Empire has now provoked the entire Entente and the Allied Powers, and the good days have come to an end, and the combined military strength of the Entente and the Allied Powers has surpassed the Chinese Empire by a lot. Your Excellency the President, should we, the United States, also consider achieving the benefits that we in the United States can only dream of in this war? Many of the territories of the Chinese Empire in the Pacific Ocean are very important to us in the United States. ”

President Theodore. The smile on Roosevelt's face was also very bright, the United States has now regarded the Chinese Empire as its potential enemy, the United States has developed its navy and army on such a large scale, and it has the meaning of competing with the Chinese Empire for control of the Pacific Ocean, and now the seven European powers have declared war on the Chinese Empire together, and the probability of the defeat of the Chinese Empire is close to 100 percent, and the United States has not yet made a move, and the biggest enemy is already about to collapse, so it is no wonder that the United States is not happy!

But President Theodore. Roosevelt was very much more interested in Secretary of the Navy George. Dewey's suggestion was not endorsed by George. Dewey meant to let the United States enter the war and declare war on the Chinese Empire together with the Entente and the Central Powers. Roosevelt said: "Mr. General, I think that it is not the time for us in the United States to intervene in this war, you must know that the Chinese Empire is not a soft persimmon, even if the Entente and the Central Powers finally defeat the Chinese Empire, they will definitely pay a considerable price, we in the United States do not need to wade into troubled waters, we just need to watch the Chinese Empire weaken!" ”

George. Dewey frowned and said: "Your Excellency, if we don't get involved in this war, then the territory of the Chinese Empire in the Pacific Ocean will be divided up by the Entente and the Allies." ”

Theodore. Roosevelt shook his head and said, "As long as there is no such huge force as the Chinese Empire on the other side of the Pacific Ocean in our United States, it will not be a threat to our United States." In addition, the United States sent too few land and navy troops in the last eight-nation alliance, and it is no longer so easy to join the coalition forces of the Entente and the Allies this time. ”

George. After the defeat of the Chinese Empire, the territory of the Pacific Ocean would inevitably be divided between the Entente and the Central Powers, and it would be impossible for one country to monopolize all the interests of the Chinese Empire in the Pacific, so that the United States would indeed be less of a very big threat.

Moreover, in the last war, although the United States only sent a small number of warships and land forces, the United States suffered very small losses in the last war, but it was also despised by European countries, and it is not easy to join a team like the Eight-Nation Alliance!

George. Dewey sighed and said, "It seems that we in the United States can only be a bystander this time." ”

President Theodore. Roosevelt said: "There is nothing wrong with being a bystander, let the Chinese Empire, the Entente, and the Central Powers fight hard!" As long as the United States continues to develop its armaments, it is very likely that those territories in the Pacific Ocean that are of vital importance to us will still belong to us.
