"The lights are going out all over Asia; We won't see it rekindled in our lifetimes. —British Foreign Secretary Edward.

In the Kremlin, Edward, who was received by Tsar Nicholas II, brought peace and friendship to Britain and, of course, a treaty to promote relations and cooperation between the two countries.

Rivals who do not deal with each other, for the sake of a common enemy, come together without surprise, and both Russia and Great Britain need each other's help.

Especially Nicholas II, when he learned that Fan Yize had declared war on Britain, not to mention how excited he was.

Russia, which has an infinite desire for territory, was beaten to its doorstep for the first time, or from the Far East to Central Asia, and even the door of Europe was about to be pried open.

It has been more than a year since the army under Fan Yize occupied the central region of Siberia, and Russia has not thought about regaining the territory, but there is no better way.

There are many contradictions in Russia, almost a civil war, Nicholas II's dominance was fully challenged, and it was not easy to calm down this internal contradiction, but the empire could not recover the lost territory in time, and after the national mobilization, due to the deterioration of the living environment, there were even two famines, resulting in more than 100,000 people starving to death, and the Russian army spent this time in suppression.

The occupation of vast lands from Siberia has caused a lot of food supply in Russia to be in short supply at once, and industrial production has also been subject to frequent stoppages and strikes under the contradictions of social classes.

Fortunately, this contradiction is still under control, and for more than a year, Russia has not done anything at all, and is constantly preparing for the war to recover Siberia.

Since now Russia no longer needs to send troops and supplies to the Far East, only here in Siberia, and the railway is fully connected, this has reduced Russia's logistical pressure several times at once.

Millions of troops on the Western Front were mobilized on the Eastern Front, and Russia also conscripted one or two million troops in order to recover the Far East.

The huge number of troops, the logistical supply under the bureaucratic system, the result is still not easy, and Russia has not rushed to war.

Anyway, now the troops under Fan Yize's command have no intention of continuing to attack, so it is better to make more preparations.

In the words of the tsar, if Russia is given another five years, Russia will not only recover all its territory, but also drive Fan Yize out of Korea and Japan, and even send a fleet to land in Jakarta and let the soldiers of the Russian Empire escort Fan Yize to the Kremlin.

Nicholas II has his own self-confidence, of course, he also has his own worries, after all, Russia is getting stronger, and Fan Yize's strength is not stagnant, not to mention that the army under Fan Yize is constantly strengthening the Siberian defense line every day, and every day that passes, the Russians want to recover, they have to pay hundreds of thousands more casualties.

In fact, Russia is already very anxious internally, Fan Yize has no intention of peace talks, and there is no possibility of withdrawing from Siberia, and he is constantly strengthening the defense line, which is to occupy Siberia permanently.

When Fan Yize declared war on Britain and threw a series of combination punches to storm British colonies in Asia and Australia, Russia breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Yize's pressure on Russia is really not small, after all, people have been crushed along the way, but if Britain is added, Russia thinks that with Britain's help, Russia will not be afraid of Fan Yize.

Britain has the largest colonial territory in the world, has the largest population in the world, has a fleet capable of fighting Fan Yize, and is also considered the most powerful ally by Russia.

However, in the next few days, Britain lost one after another, which made the Russians calm down a lot, and the British were not Fan Yize's opponents, a fact that made the Russians very depressed.

Edward's purpose in coming to Russia was very simple, that is, to promote an immediate Russian counterattack against Siberia and indirectly reduce the pressure on the British colonies.

Especially when Edward arrived in Moscow, he received news from the country and learned that the situation was even more unoptimistic, and he became more and more anxious.

From the outbreak of the war to the present, only a week has passed, and the whole of Malaysia has been occupied by Fan Yize, and the situation in the British colony of Burma is very dangerous, and the local colonial army and British defenders cannot stop the next attack.

The enemy, who had full control of Bengal, not only captured Calcutta, but was also in the process of invading British India.

Even though the British and British India had planned to form a large colonial army, the situation was still worrying, and the United Kingdom, which had no control over the sea, would not be able to transport its domestic military products to the British colonies, nor would it be able to allow the local troops to arrive in British India in time.

The first reinforcements from the British mainland had just arrived in the Middle East, and then had to advance by land towards British India.

It is expected that it will be difficult for this support army to reach British India in two months, and this is not a matter of choice, so the British have also ordered a large number of trucks in Europe and the United States, and in the Middle Eastern colonies there is oil, but the number of trucks is far from enough.

However, the enemy's movement was too fast, and the British feared that by the time Britain was able to support British India on a large scale, the whole of British India might have fallen under Fan Yize's control.

This also made Britain very anxious, Australia was too far away, the British had no time to take care of it, and now Britain only wanted to protect British India.

Edward's conversation with Nicholas II went well, and Russia was in dire need of support from the British, who were doing their best to satisfy the appetites of the Russians.

The two countries also took this opportunity to formalize the alliance, which was proposed by the British, and the Russian side readily agreed.

Because Russia is also allied with France, Britain, which is allied with Russia, is also trying to quickly open up France's diplomatic dilemma.

After all, in the Far East, Fan Yize threatened not only British colonies, but also Southeast Asia, with the exception of Thailand, which was not a colony, and everything else was under French control.

As for Germany, Britain hoped that it would focus on appeasement and not stand up and make trouble for Britain at this time, although the British side also believed that there was little hope of success.

The British ambassador to the United States tried to persuade the US Congress and the president to clearly recognize the serious threat that Fan Yize posed to the United States in the Pacific.
