October 15, Republic 2757 (1916). ，

At 8 o'clock in Rome time, the government of the Kingdom of Italy announced that it would join the Central Powers and at the same time declare war on the Entente. At 10 a.m. on the same day, eight divisions of the Italian Army crossed the Italian-French border and headed for Nice. At the same time, the Italian Navy and the Austro-Hungarian Navy formed a combined fleet and sailed towards the port of Marseille.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Entente immediately responded to Italy's provocations, and they declared war on Italy one after another. The French immediately established defensive lines in places such as Nice and Marseille and mobilized reserves to defend against the invasion of Italian troops. The British Mediterranean Fleet also formed a combined fleet with the French Mediterranean Fleet to prepare for war against the Allied fleet.

On October 17, the Ottoman Empire officially announced its accession to the Central Powers and declared war on Britain and France. On the 18th, Britain and France declared war on the Ottomans.

Now the whole world is dizzying, and Osman's fate is still reasonable, after all, they are also holding back the fire when they are lying down and being shot. But Italy's choice is something to consider.

After getting these two little friends to join, the prestige of the Allies was unmatched for a while.

At this moment, the whole world is not calm. Most of the onlookers believed that the Entente might be on their knees this time.

Especially in some British and French colonies, a number of rebel groups sprang up almost overnight. However, very few of them were supported by the Allies and China, and most of them were self-organized by locals. This is not surprising, there is no shortage of careerists anytime and anywhere, they did not move in the past because they did not have the opportunity, and now seeing that Britain and France are already difficult to protect themselves, where can they still sit still?

However, these people are also confused and inadequate, and although Britain and France now seem to have the upper hand, that is only for Germany. It's really to clean up these restless natives, and they still have absolutely no problem.

In particular, Britain, as the world's number one colonial empire, absolutely did not allow such a thing to shake the colonial system. Especially in this situation, if you really let some guys get their way, it will form a domino effect. If the colonial system had collapsed, the British Empire would have been doomed.

As a result, they did not even care about the plight of their homeland, and used the troops they had planned to send to Europe to suppress the colonial uprising, and at the same time bought large quantities of arms from China and the United States to arm the colonial forces that could be trusted. Pulling one faction to fight another and inciting the masses to fight the masses has always been the watchman of the old imperialists.

Japan was also very enthusiastic about it, and sent six divisions of the army to help Britain and France suppress the colonial uprising. According to the Japanese thinking, Lao Tzu can't beat the Germans, can't he beat a group of natives?

In order to achieve the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, the armies of Britain, France and Japan even used poison gas to deal with those rebels.

Most of those rebel armies were poorly equipped, lacked training, had extremely backward combat methods, and had poor organizational skills. But as soon as Britain and France got serious, they were tragic. In the face of brutal repression by the British and French, these rebels were quickly defeated, the bases were destroyed, and the personnel were executed. The British even thought that the shooting was not strong enough, and carried out "artillery executions" on some of the rebel leaders, that is, they were executed with artillery instead of rifles.

As for the style of the Japanese army, I don't think I need to introduce it too much. Anyway, they achieved very impressive results in the British and French colonies, and a considerable number of rebels and supporters were wiped out by them, literally "exterminated". For example, in a state in India where there was a lot of trouble, there were originally about 2 million people, but after the two Japanese divisions succeeded in eliminating the "bandits" in it, there were only 1.2 million people left.

As for whether there will be 800,000 bandits, this is not a question at all. Even the British themselves don't care, they only demand the suppression of these damned rebellions, and as for how many people will die, that's a secondary issue. Even in their hearts, these Indians are not human beings at all, as long as the stability and unity of the British Empire are maintained, what is the matter with the death of a group of "two-legged beasts"?

Far from being dissatisfied with the behavior of the Japanese, the British praised them and openly praised the Japanese army in the media for doing a good job, doing a good job, and doing a good job! At the same time, a large amount of pounds of pounds went into the pockets of the Japanese Government.

Basically, by the end of October, the situation in the British and French colonies had stabilized, and even South Africa and India, which had been making trouble earlier, were suppressed by Niu Niu with the most ruthless means. Seeing that Niu Niu and the rooster were crazy, Wen Desi, out of some consideration, also let the forces he controlled quickly turn into a latent state and no longer act publicly.

Well, Wen Desi also let some colonial "natives" on his side surrender to the British and French colonial governments as "good citizens", and easily sold some uprising organizations that were not his own, thus gaining the trust of the colonial government. Hey, who would let these organizations refuse to accept our kind intentions? Wouldn't it be easier to kill people with a knife than to spend all their efforts dealing with them later? There's no way, one day can't be two.

October 31.

After the Battle of Jutland, the United States could not sit still. After many exchanges of transatlantic cables with Wendehe, President Wilson felt that it was still not in-depth enough, and that some key issues were better met directly by the two sides. So on October 24, the U.S. government announced President Wilson's visit to China.

The next day, President Wilson left in a hurry, because the United States was in a hurry to discuss many things with China, and he and his visiting team were preparing to take an airship, which was too slow. In Washington, D.C., they boarded the USS White House, a presidential luxury passenger airship, first to San Francisco and then to Hanjing along the Sino-American Pacific airway.

The Sino-American Pacific airway has been in operation for almost five years since it was officially opened in December 1911. Thanks to the perfect safety system of China's civil aviation and the extremely high safety factor of the helium airship itself, there has not been a single serious accident in the past few years. The biggest accident was when some airbags were damaged by strong winds, and several passengers and crew members were slightly injured during the forced landing.

Wilson's "Flying White House" is also the work of the US government following the trend, and after China built a special presidential airship, other countries have followed suit, and also customized or modified special airships for their own monarchs and heads of state. Countries are like comparisons, and the construction of Führer airships is becoming more and more luxurious and extravagant. However, this kind of huge and luxurious palace in the sky is indeed very popular, and the monarchs feel that this is in line with their identity, so they don't care about this little money. With these people taking the lead, the big nobles and wealthy businessmen of various countries have also followed suit, we can't afford or are not qualified to build a "flying palace", but we can always build a "flying villa", right?

So, for a while, all countries were playing this luxury version of the custom airship. Many chaebols in the United States have also built one for themselves to play, which is much more fun than a yacht. The U.S. government is also red-eyed when it looks at it, and everyone has it, so how can we not have rice? We are the dignified number one industrial country on the earth, how can our boss not have a "flying palace" that meets his identity? This is not only a matter of enjoyment, but also the face of the country.

So they commissioned the Zenith Group, the largest airship manufacturer in China, to build this customized version of the large passenger airship. The Flying White House was built in February 1913 and the final decorations were completed and handed over to the U.S. government. Once they received it, they were used as the president's airship.

The interior of the airship not only has the most luxurious and luxurious interior decoration, conference rooms, audio and video broadcast rooms, bathrooms, gyms, entertainment rooms, study rooms, kitchens and other functional cabins, air conditioners, movies, tape recorders, radios, refrigerators, televisions and other modern equipment, as well as high-power radio stations and other communication facilities, can communicate with all parts of the United States at any time. Well, of course, the Zenith Group also installed some small, inconspicuous electronic devices on it by the way.

Wilson, who had just been elected president at the time, was overjoyed when he received the gift. He often cruises around the United States on the "Flying White House", and many times he spends his time on the airship for office, meetings, and even small parties. As the "Flying White House" dedicated to the head of state, it is naturally more complete and thoughtful in terms of safety, and this time President Wilson traveled, he was accompanied by an empty Pan Am passenger airship to deal with emergencies.

At 10 o'clock this morning, President Wilson's "Flying White House" arrived safely and landed steadily at China's Hanjing Airport.

As the first head of state of the great powers to visit China, President Wilson was naturally greeted by Wen Desi at the airport in person. A red carpet was rolled out directly in front of the airship's boarding door, and as President Wilson stepped off the airship, the military band immediately played a welcome song. At the same time, a 21-gun salute was fired from the surrounding salutes.

The subsequent flag-raising ceremonies, the review of the guard of honor and other routine ceremonies will not be repeated.

President Wilson was also anxious and did not bother to rest, and after arriving at the Thang Long Chi State Guesthouse, he asked for an immediate meeting with Boon Duc Si.

Wen Desi also knows his intentions. Wilson just wanted to ask: Brother, if we continue to play like this, will we get out of the game? If we really let Erdezi win the European war, we will be in big trouble!

Since the guests don't want to rest and talk about it, as a host, they naturally can't refuse. The two sides held a formal meeting in a small confidential conference room at the Thang Long Chi State Guesthouse.

The meeting was very private, except for the two heads of state and a very small number of cronies, not even the staff who brought tea and water were not allowed to enter, and there were only 10 people in the conference room.

The talks lasted a relatively long time, and after the two sides came out for lunch at noon, they closed the door and continued the talks, knowing that the talks would come to an end at half past three in the afternoon.

As for what the two heads of state discussed, the press release was an official article, which only said that the two sides had a cordial, warm and friendly conversation and had in-depth exchanges on current issues of common concern, which enhanced mutual trust and strengthened the traditional friendship between the two countries...... As for the specific content, I have no comment!

Anyway, when Wen Desi and Wilson walked out of the conference room, the participants from both China and the United States were full of sincere smiles, and they knew that this was a meeting that was happy for both sides.
