"Gentlemen, this war, we have anticipated and are well prepared. In a way, this war is what we have provoked. Then, it is time for us to carry on this war, defeat the enemy, and achieve the final victory. Long Yufei said to the military and political officials of the empire with a stern face. Fighting another world war, thus completely crushing the threat posed by the German Empire to the world hegemony of the Reich, this is the goal of the Reich's planning of this world war.

"From now on, the whole country is at war. Establish the Supreme Command of the Empire, and all the important tasks of the Empire are taken care of by the Supreme Command. The heavy industry of the empire was transferred to a wartime system. Mobilization should be carried out immediately, and the first batch of 12 group armies should be formed as hard as possible. The second batch of 20 group armies must also be mobilized immediately. Time was running out for us, and the Germans began a preemptive strike. Therefore, in the early stages of the war, we will most likely have to withstand the attack of the Germans and even the Holy Alliance! Long Yufei said.

In the early stages of the war, it was clear that the Holy Alliance would be the main attack, while the Peace Alliance, led by the Chinese Empire, would be on the defensive. Of course, in a situation where it is on the defensive, the Peace Alliance is also accumulating forces and actively preparing for a counterattack.

"Your Majesty, all the battle plans have already been made, and we can proceed according to the plan at any time." Prime Minister Lin Zihao said.

Long Yufei nodded: "Then, let's work together to win the last large-scale war of the empire!" ”

Long Yufei and the military and political officials of the empire positioned this war as the last battle of the empire. The last large-scale war, after this war. The empire may also have some small wars, but. None of these wars can be compared to world wars. As expected by the Empire, the Empire won this world war after that. There is no country in the world that can challenge the world hegemony of the Empire. Empire, will become the real hegemon of the world. And this is also the goal that Long Yufei and everyone have been working hard for.

Because various plans have been made before. Therefore, after the outbreak of the war, the empire did not panic, and only needed to proceed according to various plans. After the empire entered the wartime system, except for heavy industry, which began to fully turn to war, the rest was probably only the conscription of the army, which was closely related to the vast number of imperial people. After all. According to the plans of the General Staff, the Reich needed at least fifty army groups at the front. The standing strength of the empire was only 18 army groups. Therefore, the follow-up empire needed to mobilize 32 army groups, that is, 6.4 million people, to join the front-line troops. This, of course, is the most optimistic scenario. If the war is unfavorable, the Empire will definitely need to recruit more troops. Fortunately, the current demand for soldiers is not a big problem for the Empire. The huge base of 600 million people gave the empire enough soldiers. If 10 million troops are not enough. The empire can recruit twenty million, or even thirty million. And this is also the greatest advantage of the empire. If other nations want to challenge the Empire, they will have to face this advantage that the Empire has. This is probably the nightmare of all the enemies of the Empire!

In the afternoon of the same day. Emperor Long Yufei also made a speech to the entire people. In his speech, Long Yufei once again declared that the Chinese Empire is a peace-loving country, and we hope that the whole world can live in peace. All the time. The Chinese Empire also did it in line with this idea. However, there are always countries in the world that want to challenge the empire. That's what keeps the whole world in turmoil. The Germans took a despicable and shameless approach to sneak attack on the allies of the Reich, which was a challenge to the Reich. It is also an insult to the Empire. The Empire is absolutely not able to accept this. So, in the face of the challenge of the Germans, the Reich will respond in the most severe way. Long Yufei called on all subjects of the empire to respond to the call of the country and actively make their own contributions to this war. Now, the time when the empire needs them.

Long Yufei's speech made the enthusiasm of all the people for war burst out. Although, with the continuous improvement of cultural history, there are more and more people of insight. They were aware of the present world situation and had long anticipated the inevitability of war between the Reich and Germany. Even so, though, some were against the war. It's just that there are too few people who support them, and almost most of the people support Emperor Long Yufei. In their minds, Long Yufei had already been deified. Long Yufei's will is the will of the gods.

At the same time, the German ambassador to China, Klaus, received a telephone call from the Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan, who made an urgent appointment with him. Ambassador Klaus naturally knew the reason why Wei Yuan urgently made an appointment to meet with him. In fact, he also listened to the speech of the Emperor Long Yufei. Although, he always believed that Germany wanted to challenge the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire, which was very unreliable. If we don't do it well, we will lead Germany into the abyss. Unfortunately, he was humble and could not influence German foreign policy. The only thing that could be done now was to bring the letter of declaration of war, which had already been prepared, to the foreign minister of the Chinese Empire and show him the determination of the German Empire. In addition, he could only pray to God in his heart that Germany would be victorious in this war. However, as a China expert who has been in China for many years, he knows the strength of the Chinese Empire. When the war potential of the Chinese Empire is unleashed, it will be very terrifying. No country in the world can stand up to the Chinese Empire. Not even Germany. The Holy Alliance, led by Germany, seems to be formidable. However, compared with the Chinese Empire, there is undoubtedly a big gap.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I am very sorry for what has happened now. The war between our two countries seems to have been doomed a long time ago, and no one can avoid it. Ambassador Klaus said. In fact, the meeting between Wei Yuan and Ambassador Klaus appeared very calm on both sides. This was probably before the war began, and both sides had expected such a day! Everyone was ready for this meeting.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Ambassador. None of us can avoid the fact that our two countries have come to this point. Between our two countries, there is no one who is right and who is wrong, and it is all for the sake of their respective national interests. However, the war has already begun. Well, we'll have to go all out! Wei Yuan said calmly. The Chinese Empire wanted to maintain its world hegemony, so it was inevitable that it would suppress Germany. The Germans, on the other hand, could not bear the suppression of the Chinese Empire and tried to challenge the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire. This is simply an irreconcilable contradiction. Once the contradictions have intensified to the highest level, they can only be resolved by the Tongguò war. And this is what both sides want to see.

Wei Yuan and Ambassador Klaus went through the final procedures. Klaus submitted a declaration of war, and Wei Yuanhe formally declared war on Germany on behalf of the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Empire and the German Empire declared war on each other, which directly led to the outbreak of this world war. The other members of the Holy Alliance and the Peace Alliance also followed in the footsteps of the two great powers, declaring war on each other one after another, and plunged into this world war.

On the afternoon of August 10, the Kingdom of Afghanistan declared war on the German Empire. Subsequently, the kingdoms of Egypt, Najd, Spain, Ireland and Scotland, as well as the Republic of Chile, also declared war on Germany. As if it had been agreed, all the member states of the Peace Alliance fulfilled the covenant and declared war on the German Reich.

The next day, August 11, the allies of the German Empire also declared war on the Peace Alliance. The Prime Minister was Russia, followed by the United Kingdom, the Kingdom of Italy, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Norway, the Kingdom of Sweden and the Kingdom of Denmark.

At the last minute, the Kingdom of France declared its membership in the Peace League and declared war on Germany and all the Holy Alliance powers. Not far behind, the French Empire declared its membership in the Holy Alliance and declared war on the Chinese Empire and all the countries of the Peace Alliance.

As a result, in a very short period of time, all the countries of the two camps have been thrown into the world war. The countries that participated in the world war have spread all over the world. Of course, South America has undoubtedly become the calmest place. The Republic of Chile, although a member of the Peace League, has also declared war on the Holy Alliance. However, South America does not have members of the Holy Alliance. The Republic of Chile was weak, and the Chinese Empire did not require the Republic of Chile to send troops to the war. They're more of a logistical helper. For example, copper ore and saltpeter produced in the Republic of Chile are still the most important resources for warfare. The Navy of the Republic of Chile can also attack the ships of the Peace Alliance in the waters of the South Pacific.

Although, all the countries of the two camps have already declared war. However, only two countries are still at war, Germany and the Kingdom of Belgium. It is one thing to declare war, and quite another to go to war. After all, it takes time to put the army into the battlefield.

However, in addition to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Spain was also actively preparing for war. They belong to Western Europe as well as the Kingdom of Belgium, and once the Kingdom of Belgium is defeated, it will be their turn next. So, after the declaration of war, millions of Spanish troops had invaded the territory of the French Empire, and together with the Kingdom of France, fought against the combined forces of Germany and the French Empire.

In addition, the navy of the Kingdom of Spain began to gather in the eastern Mediterranean, preparing for a decisive attack on the navy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to protect the shipping lines of the Mediterranean. (To be continued......)
