"Third master, where is this Guadeloupe?" Someone asked. Larger territories have heard of foreign territories, but most people don't know where a small island like Guadeloupe is!

"It doesn't matter where it is, in short, the Americans have made war against us, these despicable and shameless American devils, the empire has not yet attacked them, they have made the first move. If Lao Tzu was still thirty years younger, Lao Tzu would definitely join the Imperial Navy and defeat those American devils," the third master said angrily. As the empire grew in strength and won victories in wars, the self-esteem and self-confidence of the people also increased considerably. The people have long been regarded by the empire as a one-on-one power in the world, and now the Americans are actually fighting without declaring war, isn't it fatal?

"Third master, it doesn't matter if you're old, don't you still have two boys in your family? Wouldn't it be enough to let them go? Someone said.

"Humph! Don't try to run the old man. Sue you, yesterday the old man's youngest son had already gone to report, but he had joined the Imperial Army. The third master said proudly, as if he was very happy that his son could join the army.

"Yo! That's amazing, the youngest son of the third master is a top student who graduated from Imperial University! If you want to join the army, you have to be a platoon commander! Congratulations to the third master, if your son makes a meritorious service, then he will definitely have to rise to the king in the future! Everyone congratulated.

"Platoon commander? Tell you, my son was a platoon commander when he was in the reserve, and this time the newly formed unit will directly become the deputy company commander! The third master was very happy. It seems that if you forget about it, it is inevitable that people will die in war. Any victory is forged with the blood of the soldiers of the Empire. Of course. For the sake of the empire's strength, everyone is willing to do it!

With Wang Yuze's speech, the whole territory of the empire was boiling, and on the one hand, the citizens angrily scolded the Yankees for their despicability and shamelessness, and on the other hand, they also held demonstrations and petitions one after another, demanding that the empire send troops as soon as possible to defeat the Yankees and let them know the power of the empire. The recruitment points in the major cities of the empire were even more lined up in just two hours. Albeit. The Empire has not yet released any news of conscription. Those young students with strong blood have undoubtedly become the main force of these long dragons.

"Students, the empire does not have a large-scale conscription plan at present, and the troops currently mobilized are all former retired soldiers. It's useless for you to squeeze here, so let's go back to school! An officer at a recruiting point spoke bitterly to the students who wanted to join the army. However, his persuasion was useless, and more and more people gathered here.

"Why don't you let us join the army, we also have to defend our country and defeat the Yankees!" The students questioned the island.

"This is the order from above. I don't know! We will send the application letter to every soldier, so don't gather here! "The officer at the conscription point explained the island. However, the students were still reluctant to leave for a long time.

This is happening in cities all over the country. An old farmer with a wrinkled face. Send your son to the conscription point and let him be loyal to the country. However, it is true that the empire has no plans for large-scale conscription for the time being, which makes these simple old peasants very puzzled. They read little though. But I also know that once a war starts, it will definitely require a lot of troops. They also cherished their sons. He also knows that fighting a war is to kill a man. But after hearing that the empire declared war on the United States, they still sent their sons to the recruitment point without hesitation, which shows their love for the empire!

Many young people who have no way to serve the country have petitioned the army and governments at all levels, asking to join the army and serve the country. For this reason, Wang Yuze had to once again broadcast a speech on the radio that the conscription of the empire was planned, so that the young people could work and study with peace of mind, and be prepared, and if the empire needed it, they would summon everyone. Wang Yuze personally came forward to explain, and this was the only way to calm down the craze for joining the army. It can also be seen that although the people of Japan are eager for peace, they are willing to sacrifice for their country once the war begins. The popular support is available, which also makes Wang Yuze full of confidence in winning this war.

When Emperor Wang Yuze made a radio speech, Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi also met with Sherlock, the US ambassador to China. It's just that U.S. Ambassador Sherlock handed over the U.S. government's declaration of war before Wu Tingfang opened his mouth.

Tang Shaoyi was suddenly annoyed, he threw the declaration of war on the table, and said coldly: "You have already launched an attack on the empire, and it is too despicable and shameless to submit the declaration of war now!" ”

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, unfortunately this is the decision of the United States Government, and I can only do it. However, isn't the U.S. government also learning from your country? With the support of your country, didn't Chile also declare war against Argentina in the same way? U.S. Ambassador to China Sherlock said neither humbly nor arrogantly. Even though he was still a little worried about this war, now that the war had begun, he could only pray that the United States would win!

"Good, good! Your Excellency, on behalf of the Chinese Empire, I also formally inform the US Government that from now on, the two countries are at war! The empire will do its best to win this war and let the United States know the consequences of angering the empire! Tang Shaoyi said.

"The United States will also do its best, although China is very strong, but the United States is not weak. To use a famous Chinese saying, 'It is still unknown who will kill the deer!' Ambassador Sherlock said.

"Soon you will know who the victory belongs to. I would like to solemnly warn the US Government that the US can start a war, but it is not up to the US Government to decide when the war will end. This time, the actions of the US government will completely destroy the country! Tang Shaoyi said coldly.

"This is not a matter of bothering His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs. If nothing else, I'll take my leave. We will leave China in three days! Ambassador Sherlock said.

With the two countries declaring war on each other, China and the United States have officially entered a state of war. However, China was somewhat caught off guard by a surprise attack by the United States, and even led to a defeat in the early stages of the war. However, this is only temporary, China's warplanes have been accelerated, and the army and navy are about to start counterattacking. The short-lived advantage gained by the Americans through undeclared raids would soon be lost completely.

In addition, the declaration of war between China and the United States has also allowed the scale of this war to continue to grow. Although, the war in Europe has begun, and both sides have already suffered heavy casualties. But the scope of the war was largely confined to Europe. And now, the war has spread to the whole world. If the previous war between the Allies and the Entente could only be called a European war, then from now on, this war can be regarded as a real world war!

Britain, France, and Russia, as allies of the United States, should also declare war on China after the United States declared war on China, according to the treaty. However, with the exception of France, which declared war on China the next day, the other two countries have been dragging their feet. France had lost all its colonies in Europe, so naturally there were not so many concerns. But Britain and Russia are different. Britain's major colonies, India and Australia, and even South Africa, were within China's range of attack, and it would be difficult for Britain to hold on to these colonies if China attacked them while Britain's main power was being dragged down in Europe. The same was true of Russia, where the Russian 'Autumn Offensive' suffered a crushing defeat and lost hundreds of thousands of troops, which made the high-spirited Tsar Nicholas II feel as if he had been slapped in the head. Although, after mobilization, the army of the Russian army has expanded to three or four million people. But if it wants to fight on two fronts, Russia will still be unable to bear it. Therefore, both Britain and Russia hope to be able to avoid provoking China at this time. After all, China's tiger has not yet really been involved in the war. However, the United States has no choice but to declare war on China. The behavior of the Americans to provoke the Chinese in order to avoid throwing military power into Europe also made them very dissatisfied. It's just that in order to maintain the alliance, the two countries are not good at blaming the United States too much.

It was not until three days later that Britain and Russia declared war on China. However, both the Russian Eastern Front and the British colonies were completely on the defensive, and they did not dare to take the initiative to provoke China. China also declared war on Britain, France, and Russia. Similarly, China has focused its strategic focus on the United States, and has no plans to attack Russia and Britain until the war becomes clear. Of course, there was also an intention to use the hands of Britain, France, and Russia to deplete Germany's strength.

After the United States did not declare war on China, Germany jumped out first. Kaiser Wilhelm II publicly condemned this shameless act of the United States, saying that the United States and the entire Entente were the main culprits in undermining world peace, and called on peace-loving people in the world to take action to defeat the Entente and bring peace back to the world.

At the same time, the German government also took the opportunity to announce the secret agreement signed between Germany and China, and in accordance with the provisions of the secret agreement, formally declared war on behalf of Germany to the United States. Austria-Hungary, Germany's hardcore enemy, followed suit and declared war on the United States. For a time, the scale of the world war almost rose to its peak.

As soon as the secret agreement between Germany and China was announced, it caused an uproar around the world. The Entente even accused China and Germany of colluding with each other to undermine world peace. These wars of words will not play any role in the development of the world situation at all, and what can play a role is mainly the war on the front line!
