The British did intend to take the German Far Eastern colonies under their control at first, and the British were able to do so, and just as the Australian and New Zealand armies were preparing to attack the German colonies, the orders from the overlords came down to pack their backpacks and sit on ships ahead of Europe, rather than attacking German Guinea and the Mariana Islands, which were close at hand. This makes many people feel incomprehensible, and even Britain itself doubts whether there is a "moral traitor" in Britain. Only a very small number of core personnel did not know the significance of this move.

Britain and France have always wanted to pull the United States to their side. I don't know if the Spanish-American War scared the United States, or for some other reason, the United States did not show much interest in joining the Entente camp, not only the American people were indifferent to the great war in Europe, but even the US government and capitalists said that there was no problem in continuing to provide materials and armaments to the Entente, but it was better to directly participate in the war.

Has the United States really decided not to go to war? Or is it true that the US top brass is indifferent to the situation in Europe and only cares about money? Apparently not, the reason why the United States did not immediately enter the war, but waited for an opportunity, an opportunity to exchange the maximum benefit for the least cost. The icing on the cake and charcoal in the snow are definitely not the same concept, now that the British and French are in full combat power, let them fight to the death with the Germans first, and when the two sides are about to die, how good it would be for the Americans to join the battle as saviors! Save effort and get the most out of it! When the time comes, the United States can take a good look at the bamboo pole of the British Empire.

And the other point is that the Americans are far from ready for war, let alone general mobilization. The U.S. government has no excuse to persuade Congress to mobilize, and Germany is still fighting with restraint before it has launched an unrestricted submarine war without regard to the reaction of the entire world, as it has done in history. I really don't fight when I run into an American ship. Therefore, the American society really does not care much about this war, and even if it is mobilized, it will take a long time for you to expand the current US military to the size of several million people. At this time, the mobilization ability of US imperialism and the US imperialism during the two wars in history is obviously incomparable, and the United States is a tiger in terms of national strength. But the combat effectiveness of the army can only be described as a kitten, at least at this stage.

The American Army is not good, but it does not mean that the Navy is not good. By this time, the Americans already had 6 super-dreadnoughts armed with 14-inch guns and several dreadnoughts, as well as a large number of former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers. If you look at this navy only in terms of tonnage, it is definitely the third in the world. It is higher than the tonnage of the Huaxia Navy. This force was absolutely important to the Entente powers, which were extremely dependent on maritime transport. Just before the Italian Navy entered the war. The British tried their best to encourage the Americans to take their side as soon as possible, and the German Far Eastern colonies were a favor that the British threw at the Americans.

The British were very much like they had brought the area under their control, but the Americans also wanted to establish a stable base of support in the Far East. Although they lost the fight against Spain that year, the Americans believed that it was the result of the strong support of Spain by European countries. From the bottom of their hearts, Americans do not admit defeat. However, the consequences of the Spanish-American War were still very serious, and it disrupted the pace and strategy of the US Navy's military expansion. The Americans' desire to control the whole of America is now almost a reality, but the United States' attempt to project military power on the other side of the ocean has become unattainable. Because in the Far East, an unusually powerful state has risen. He also took advantage of the two foreign wars to bring most of the Dutch East Indies under his control. The powerful Chinese fleet and geographical superiority made the Americans sigh.

This time, the outbreak of the Great War gave the Americans an opportunity, and the German Far East colonies were destined to be occupied by the British soon after the start of the war due to geographical limitations and strength. And the British have no strategy, and the background of this is intriguing. Just when the whole world was speculating about what game was playing in the stomach of the British, the British ambassador to the United States solved the mystery. In order to show the British government's friendship with the United States, the British were willing to "give" the German Far Eastern colonies to the United States. But there is a requirement that the United States must be allowed to take it itself!

The British did this for a purpose, as long as the boots of American GIs landed in the German colonies, then it meant that the United States was finally on the side of the Entente. But the Americans are not stupid, just a few islands let the United States be a thug for the Entente? Wilson isn't that stupid. The United States would never go to war and fight the Germans because of the small favors of the British. The United States intends to wait until the British are begging for their help with a lot of benefits.

And while Britain and the United States were making their own calculations, the Huaxia Republic, as the hegemon of the Far East, was also calculating the gains and losses of interests. After the German Far East Fleet withdrew to the Middle East, Xu Jie did not once look at the map and weigh it carefully. This was especially uneasy when it became known that the British intended to "give" the place to the Americans. To tell the truth, the strategic location of both German Guinea and the Mariana Islands is very important, and they will be China's defense against the penetration of American power. The United States did not acquire the Philippines as it did historically, but if it occupies these two places, then the United States will also have a foothold in the Far East. This is something Xu Jie absolutely does not want to see.

On a deeper level, if the United States occupies this area and the Allies fail, as they have historically done, then Britain's Australia and American-controlled Marianas will be united, and Britain and the United States, after emerging from the crisis in Europe, will certainly unite to contain China in the Asia-Pacific region. The outcome of the European war is still unclear, but in order to prevent such a situation from happening, Xu Jie believes that it is necessary to prevent the Americans from entering the Far East!

But not now, because Huaxia does not have a suitable excuse, and Xu Jie still needs to take a good look at the scale, although Huaxia has updated its capital ships in recent years, but the core construction of Huaxia's military strength is still the army, after all, dealing with the collapse of Tsarist Russia is Huaxia's top task. Fighting without breaking, letting the Americans know the difficulties and retreat is the best choice! Just when Xu Jie was at a loss, the German ambassador to Huaxia came to the door! And he came with the Kaiser's mandate!

Thanks to the book friend zhouyu1976 for the reward and the book friend Dongguan bald king, the monthly pass of the white-bearded mouse and the evaluation vote of the flower maple ~~~.

Here, I hope you will once again support the new book "Journey of the Immortal King" on the side, which is also an attempt by the author~~~. Hopefully, it won't be lost. But rest assured, "Huaxia Sea Power" will definitely end, and there will be a more ~~~ later today. (To be continued......)
