It is really unacceptable that the United States declared war like this, but judging from the situation on the battlefield in Europe, it is time for him to declare war. History is earlier than before. Hindenburg replaced Farkinham, who failed in the Paris Meat Grinder Campaign two months earlier than before, and became the chief of staff of the German General Staff. It was precisely because Hindenburg took over as the General Staff that he and Rudendolf could withstand Prime Minister Holvig's suggestion that Wilson was facing a general election. The unlimited submarine war did not barely hold on for several months like history after sinking the Lusitania cruise ship, and finally gave up because he was worried about angering the United States.

Moreover, in this war, the most gorgeous battleship confrontation in history was still because the German Navy wanted to do pieces and dared not fight strategically, as history did, and was also because the Royal Navy commander Jericho advanced and retreated, and avoided the decisive battle, which was no different from history. Later, the German Navy only did near-shore defense and bet on unlimited submarine warfare, while the Royal Navy could only deploy a wide defense submarine network and implement long-distance blockade.

The naval war had just subsided. On land, the British and French allied forces gathered forty divisions to launch the Battle of Amiens in order to capture the strategic key to northern France, and to contact the pressure of the German army in Paris. During this strategic offensive, Britain finally began to use the tanks it had used in history, but the battlefield was muddy and the mechanical stability of the tanks was poor. These tanks all climbed their nests without running many kilometers. After five months of fierce fighting, Britain and France finally ended the strategic offensive with nearly one million casualties due to no progress in the war and the continuous rain.

The wars on sea and on land were quite fierce, and at home, the General Staff finally convinced the German Emperor and began to implement comprehensive and strict management of various domestic materials. At this time, Germany had more synthetic ammonia equipment than in history. In the original history, in the last year of the end of the war, Germany had only 350,000 tons of synthetic ammonia production [Note:]. Now, its synthetic ammonia production is three times that of history, and the national synthetic ammonia production exceeds one million tons, which is equivalent to three times that of historical shells, or two million tons of grain each year with the same number of shells as in history.

The Infantry Artillery Association's united tactics, elastic defense tactics, anti-tank tactics, wolf pack tactics, comprehensive dominance of the economy, synthetic ammonia equipment, and electronic tube radio. Although these things were found in most Germany in history, they were used earlier and more precisely. The advantages they created on the battlefield were astonishing. This advantage was not to be imported into the Russian army or to provide merchant ships to Britain and France. In many cases, Yang Rui even suspected that Germany would win the entire war, but whenever he thought of this, Great America and its highly righteous president immediately smashed this idea;

What's more, the defeat of Britain and France is not in line with China's interests in terms of long-term strategic or short-term real profits. China needs funds to build a country. Similarly, the Nanyang region is not good enough to become the sphere of influence of the emerging power of the United States. It is best to maintain its original state and be independent or taken by China in the next war. If the United States intervenes in Southeast Asia when Britain and France are defeated, what can China gain at this time?

The habitual hope that history follows the original trajectory, and the habitual hope is to put treasures on familiar history. Yang Rui wavered a little and no longer has any hope for German victory. As he thought before, it was a seesaw. The happiness of one side was entirely based on the pain or madness of the other side. Of course, only the strongest can obtain the benefits of Asia. Therefore, the two wars in history benefited the Japanese.

After thinking about some things briefly, Yang Rui turned to Zhang Shi, "How is Russia? Is there a revolution possible?"

Although it was only the end of January 1917 in the Jesus calendar, the revolution had already emerged. Zhang Shi said: "The workers in Petersburg have now begun to strike. This was deliberately provoked by the Revolutionary Party. The number of people on strike exceeded 200,000. The strike caused traffic paralysis. In addition, this winter is colder than in previous years. Trains and railways are unable to operate due to the severe cold, and manpower is also short of recruitment, so the supply of coal and flour in the city is a problem.

If this situation cannot improve, then take the general strike during the Russo-Japanese War twelve years ago as an example, Russia will eventually have a huge revolution. But," Zhang Shi was a little confused when he said this, "Sir, many of the people we sponsored are not in Russia, and Russia is blocked by Germany. How do they return home? If they go back late, wouldn't they miss this opportunity? Do we want to..."

"Don't worry, the Germans will help us do these things." Yang Rui said confidently: "Along with the fact that Russia does not withdraw from the war, no matter who comes to power, he will eventually be overthrown by the Bolsheviks; but if he really retreats from the war, then all the lives and money that Russia has paid before will be lost. When the United States declares war and victory is in sight, who dares to take this responsibility? Many times, the country is ruined by politicians' persistence in self-restraint." (To be continued)
