The first thousand four hundred and forty-six chapters began to mobilize
Faced with Germany's warning, the Kingdom of Belgium and Spain have the Chinese Empire as their backers, so they would not be afraid at all. What's more, how could they admit that they sent troops to France to fight? Those armies were wearing the uniforms of the Kingdom of France, and there was no evidence that they were their army. As long as the two countries did not recognize it, Germany would have no way to deal with them. As for the war, isn't this what the Chinese Empire and the entire peace alliance hoped?
Anyway, this war is inevitable and will be fought sooner or later. Since this is the case, it would be better to start earlier. After all, under the leadership of the Chinese Empire, the war preparations of the major members of the Peace Alliance have almost been completed. On the other hand, Germany and other members of the Holy Alliance should be slightly slower. Although they have accelerated the progress of war preparations, they still cannot compare with the Peace Alliance. If the war breaks out now, it will be more beneficial to the Peace Alliance. If it continues, it will be beneficial to the Holy Alliance.
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Belgium, Charles Rozer, and Foreign Minister Henry De Bruker both made public speeches, severely rebuking the German Empire for slandering and threatening the Kingdom of Belgium. They claimed that the Kingdom of Belgium was a peace-loving country. They were very concerned about the war between the Kingdom of France and the French Empire. However, they absolutely did not send troops to fight in France. The German Empire accused them of slandering them. If the German Empire tried to use this as an excuse to start a war against the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Belgium would not retreat and would face the battle to the end. These politicians were all good at talking lies with their eyes open. If they wanted to play politics, they had to be shameless!
Subsequently, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, the Duke of Valencia and the Earl of Foreign Affairs, Jose de Salamanca, also made similar speeches, all of which expressed their attitudes. They swear that they did not send troops to France to fight. The Germans' unreasonable accusations were simply slander. This was the reason why Germany so carefully concocted them. At the same time, they also claimed that if they encountered German attacks, they would resist to the end. The Kingdom of Spain was determined to become a world power second only to the Chinese Empire. Naturally, they had to keep up with the Chinese Empire.
The statements of the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Spain immediately made the people of the two countries excited. Although they were both afraid of war, which would cause them to be displaced and even lose their lives. However, when the enemy imposed war on them, they would not be afraid, and would only fight to the death to fight the enemy to the end. Even if the German Empire was very powerful, it was the overlord of Europe. However, with the Chinese Empire, the most powerful country in the world, as an ally, both the Belgians and the Spanish, they believed that the final winner of the war must be theirs.
The reversal of the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Spain made the German Empire very angry. The German Emperor William I was even more angry and cursed, saying that the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Spain no longer had the integrity of European countries, claiming that they all followed the Chinese Empire and became cunning and shameless countries. If the Kingdom of France had not received the help of the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Spain, how could they easily defeat the French Empire's army? Now, the French Empire's army has been defeated and suffered heavy losses. The Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Spain have all begun to march towards Reims. It is estimated that it will take a long time to reach the capital of the French Empire.
"The Belgians and the Spanish are simply shameless! Do they have the integrity of white people? They are all those damn yellow-skinned monkeys. They have made the Spaniards and the Belgians as shameless as them!" German Emperor William I was like a furious lion. In fact, is he qualified to accuse the Chinese Empire? The shamelessness of Europeans is probably much stronger than the Chinese! There are no people who strictly adhere to integrity in the entire European country. William I said this just to put all the responsibility on the Chinese Empire.
"Your Majesty, the French Empire asked us for help again, hoping that we could send troops into the French Empire to help them resist the enemy's attack. Otherwise, the enemy would likely capture Lance. The French Empire could no longer defend Lance. Once the French Empire fell, the strategic depth of the enemy would be greater. We want to destroy them in the shortest time. It would be very difficult. All previous plans would probably not avoid the end of miscarriage!" said Earl Moltke.
After the French Empire, the Kingdom of Belgium, France and Spain will be connected together and have a greater strategic depth. It will be very difficult for the German Empire to defeat the entire Western Europe in one battle. Once the reinforcements of the Chinese Empire arrive, the German Empire may have to fight a war of attrition with the Chinese Empire. This will undoubtedly be a disaster for the German Empire. Therefore, the German Empire has always hoped to take over the entire Western Europe before the main force of the Chinese Empire arrived in Europe.
William I frowned. In the previous predictions of the German General Staff, if the war broke out and the reinforcements of the Chinese Empire would arrive in Europe, it would take about two months. After all, it would take one month to transport them from the Chinese Empire to Europe by sea. The early army gathered at the seaside and prepared various war materials, which would take time. Therefore, the German General Staff's plan was to take over the entire Western Europe within two months and let the reinforcements of the Chinese Empire arrive in Europe and have to carry out landing operations. As long as the German defense line was strong enough to prevent the Chinese from landing, they would not have to avoid fighting on two fronts on land.
"But if we send troops into the French Empire, the war will break out soon! The Chinese have been waiting for such an opportunity. All countries in the Peace Alliance have prepared for war, but they just have an excuse. The Chinese Empire has already issued a warning that no country must interfere in the war between the French Kingdom and the French Empire. Otherwise, the Chinese Empire will take action!" said Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck. The threat of the Chinese Empire has brought great pressure to the German Empire.
"If the French Empire falls, the consequences will be even more unpredictable!" said Crown Prince Frederick William. He supports fighting a war. Since it is unavoidable, even if you retreat, you cannot avoid the outbreak of war. So it is better to fight a war.
"Let's do this, order the whole country to mobilize. To deter the Kingdom of Belgium and Spain, and to demand their troops to withdraw from the French Empire immediately. Otherwise, the consequences will be borne by themselves!" said Emperor William I of Germany. He wanted to rely on such means to force the Kingdom of Belgium and Spain, as well as the Chinese Empire behind them to compromise. After all, if you mobilize, it means that the war is not far away.
"Yes, your Majesty!" Earl Moltke and Earl Albrech von Ron nodded.
On August 3, the German Foreign Ministry once again issued a stern statement, demanding that the troops invading the French Empire immediately withdraw from the French Empire. Otherwise, Germany would take force to maintain peace in Europe and the entire world.
At the same time, the German General Staff ordered war mobilization. A large number of German youths began to go to the conscription site after receiving the order to be recruited. The German mobilization system was very perfect and the mobilization could be completed within half a month.
Not only Germany mobilized, but other members of the Holy Alliance also carried out in secret or openly. Suddenly, the situation in the world became even more tense. Many knowledgeable people saw that the war was approaching, and they called on all countries to remain restrained and calm. Once the war broke out, the civilization created by human beings might be damaged in the war.
However, the will of these people cannot affect the will of the country based on it. War has long been inevitable.
"Your Majesty, the Germans have begun to mobilize wars, and a large number of troops are advancing towards the border. According to the information we have obtained, the Germans seem to have given up their fantasies and are dedicated to preparing for war!" Marshal Luo Hongtao, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, reported to Long Yufei.
"Well! The Germans are not like the French. They are very practical. After they realize that the war is inevitable, they will start preparing for the war with all their might. For them, there is no way out for this war!" Long Yufei said. He was a little excited and also a little blamed himself. After all, this war will cause countless people to shed blood and sacrifice. However, for the hegemony of the empire, these sacrifices are acceptable.
"Your Majesty, then will our mobilization begin immediately? Otherwise, once the Germans complete the mobilization, the war will probably begin!" said General Liu Zhongming, Chief of Staff.
"Give orders to the troops that were originally intended to ship to Europe, so that they could gather at ports everywhere and prepare to load ships to Europe. In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a warning, requiring the Germans and other member states of the Holy Alliance to stop mobilizing immediately to avoid further intensification of the loss of composure. Otherwise, the empire will respond in a tit-for-tat way! Give them twenty-four hours of consideration." Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Minister Wei Yuan nodded.
On the afternoon of August 3, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire issued a statement asking Germany and other members of the Holy Alliance to stop mobilizing immediately, otherwise the Empire will respond tit-for-tat. At the same time, it requires that Germany and other members of the Holy Alliance must respond within 24 hours, otherwise it will be believed that the German Empire and the Holy Alliance have given up peace.
