"Which side do you think we should join?" Ren Chao did not answer Wang Weihua's words, but asked with a smile.

"Wechen is stupid, and Wechen doesn't know which side we should join." Wang Weihua said honestly.

Ren Chao smiled and waved his hand and said, "Come on!" Sit down and say, and Ye Feng, you also sit down, let's just talk about it today, you two don't have to be too restrained, let's talk freely and talk about the general trend of the world. ”

"Wechen obeys!" Wang Weihua and Ye Feng said respectfully, and then carefully sat down on the chair next to Ren Chao.

"Today, we won't talk about anything else, let's just talk about whether our Huaxia Empire should join the side of the Allies? Or join the side of the Entente? What do you two think, just tell me and hear it. Ren Chao said with a smile.

"Wechen thinks that no matter which group we join, the first thing to ensure is that we will be able to defeat." Wang Weihua said cautiously.

"Wei Hua! I have to say that what you say is complete nonsense. Well, you can tell me, which of the two sides has a better chance of victory? Ren Chao shook his head and continued to ask.

"Well~! Wechen thought that according to the current comparison of strength between the two sides, the strength of the Entente was stronger than that of the Central Powers. After all, Britain and France are old powers, and although Germany has risen strongly in recent decades, there is still a certain gap between it and Britain and France. Wang Weihua replied honestly.

Ren Chao nodded noncommittally and said, "Then you mean that Britain and France can win the European war?" ”

"Wechen didn't dare to categorically say that the Entente side would be able to win in the end, after all, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and no one dared to guarantee what would happen next? But judging from the comparison of strength, Weichen thought that the Entente had a better chance of winning. Wang Weihua replied.

Ren Chao nodded, turned his head to look at Ye Feng, and asked with a smile. "Do you also think that the Allies have a better chance of winning?"

"Your Majesty, for Commander Wang's opinion, Weichen does not dare to agree. The minister thought that although Britain and France seemed to have the upper hand in terms of strength all day long, now that China had declared war on Tsarist Russia, it would relieve a lot of pressure on the side of the Central Powers. If Germany could quickly defeat Tsarist Russia on the Eastern Front, it would be able to concentrate its superior forces against the Anglo-French forces. The German Army is known as the first in Europe, and Germany's shortcomings are in the navy. Judging by the tables of both sides at the beginning of the war, the Anglo-French forces were no match for Germany at all. Once the Germans succeeded in occupying France, they forced France to surrender. There was only one Britain left, and even if they had a strong navy, they would have no way to take Germany. And Germany did not have a strong navy as a cover, and naturally could not pose a threat to Britain. In this way, it is likely that the two sides will negotiate an armistice, and then Germany will succeed in dominating the European continent. Therefore, Weichen thought that as long as Germany could seize the opportunity, it was still very likely to defeat Britain and France. Ye Feng said respectfully.

"Hmmm! There is some truth to that! Ren Chao nodded slightly and said, "But I think that the Anglo-French alliance was really not good at the beginning of the battle. However, this was mainly caused by the lack of preparation for the war by Britain, France and other countries, which was provoked by the Allies after all, Germany and Austria were well prepared, and Britain, France, Russia and other countries could be said to be forced to respond to the war. It is inevitable to lose a few battles in a hurry. However, in the Battle of the Marne, the British and French forces took advantage of the carelessness of the German army to underestimate the enemy and successfully defeated the German attack. The German army changed its strategy and concentrated its main forces on attacking Tsarist Russia. This gave Britain and France a respite. By the time Britain and France were well prepared, the Germans might not be able to defeat the Anglo-French forces. ”

"But now we have declared war on Tsarist Russia, and the defeat of Tsarist Russia is a foregone conclusion. Tsarist Russia was out early, and Britain and France were missing a strong ally. Italy, on the side of the Central Powers, has not yet entered the war. Italy's strength should not be underestimated, and if Italy entered the battle, the British and French forces would certainly not be able to block the attack of Germany, Austria and Italy. Ye Feng hurriedly retorted.

"Why hasn't Italy entered the war until now, according to the alliance signed between Italy and Germany and Austria, as soon as the war broke out, they should enter the war against Britain, France, Russia and other countries, but they didn't, and they began to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight out of their own interests. Even if you go to war, it's not certain which side to join? Ren Chao shook his head and said. Ren Chao naturally knew that in real history, Italy finally betrayed the side of the Central Powers and threw herself into the arms of the Entente, although the Italian army, known as Noodles, was indeed not very good, but Italy still had a strong navy at that time. If Italy joins the side of the Central Powers, the Italian navy will at least be able to contain part of the British and French fleets, so that the British and French navies will not be able to impose a naval blockade on Germany as they have done in history. As for what choice Italy will ultimately make in this time and space, it is difficult to say, if Germany and Austria can quickly defeat Tsarist Russia and take the initiative on the battlefield, maybe Italy will fall to the side of the Allies.

"Does that mean that the Entente side will finally win the war?" Ye Feng asked tentatively.

"Who will win this war, it's hard to say now. Because there are two other countries that play a crucial role in the outcome of this war. Ren Chao said with a smile.

"I wonder which two countries His Majesty is referring to?" Wang Weihua asked suspiciously.

"One is my Chinese Empire, and the other is the United States." Ren Chao said.

"The United States?" Wang Weihua couldn't help frowning.

"Don't underestimate the United States, yes, the current military strength of the United States is indeed very average, and there is still a certain gap compared with Britain, France, Germany and other countries. But don't forget, that's because the American warplanes haven't started yet. After all, the United States is the world's largest industrial power, and even if we are in China, we are at best on a par with the United States. Now the people in the United States are extremely war-weary, so even if the US government wants to enter the war, Congress will not pass it, so the US will remain neutral. But once the U.S. government senses that its interests are threatened, it will definitely enter the war. At that time, the United States' huge war plane will be a force to be reckoned with, and its strength will definitely not be worse than that of Britain, France, Germany, and other countries. Ren Chao couldn't help but sigh when he said this. At present, the United States is far from being as strong as later generations, in real history, after the outbreak of World War I, the United States took advantage of the God-given opportunity of the European War to make a windfall, but after the war, Germany and Austria were defeated, Britain and France were also disabled, and the United States took this opportunity to become the creditor country of the whole of Europe, and since then it has begun to rise strongly and become the world's largest power, and its status as the world hegemon was not gradually determined until after the outbreak of World War II.
