"Maybe, this is God's punishment for America, a hardship in fate. We cannot avoid it, and we can only choose to fight to the end with our European friends." President William Taft's answer is more theological.

Geographical disputes or national destiny disputes?

In this world, except for the dictatorial emperor who led the rise of the Ocean Empire, no one can answer this question, but more of it is speculation.

The most urgent thing now

It is the day when all the mobilization forces can be mobilized, to stop the sharp offensive craze of the Japanese army, to try their best to persevere until the end of the year, and to the day when the world powers such as Britain and France free up their hands to interfere in the situation in North America.

Such an answer made the American senior officials present silent. Although it was not satisfactory, it might be the only solution.

One is rising and the other is declining. Today, America no longer has the ability to compete head-on with the Ocean Empire, and has lost its traditional influence in South America. The power has shrunk in a corner of North America and can only use the power of Europe to compete with the attempt of the Ocean Empire to intervene in the North American situation.

Early June

After a short rest, the Japanese army sent troops to continue northwards, conquering Milwaukee, Green Bay and other Lake Michigan cities, occupied large areas of land in the northern part of the five major lakes, and obtained a port facing the Atlantic Ocean.

The UK was furious about this and publicly announced that the Royal Fleet and the Canadian Navy jointly blocked the St. Lawrence Estuary, strictly prohibiting any passenger and cargo ship from entering and leaving the Japanese-occupied area, and imposed many sanctions.

Japanese Foreign Minister Masaaki Masao Masao urgently set out for Europe to mediate. After arriving in London at the end of June, he launched a series of whirlwind diplomatic operations. In early July, he went to Paris and Rome to go to the wharf of European powers to explain Japan's policies and emphasized that Japan has completely stopped military operations...

Early July

A shocking news came from Russia, and Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, the eldest princess Olga, the fourth princess Anastasia, and the little crown prince Alexei who was deeply suffering from hemophilia and several personal servants were secretly executed.

The news was later confirmed by a senior executive of the Russian workers' government, and the senior executive expressed his anger;

The abdicated Tsar still secretly colluded with the imperialists, united with 14 countries and rebel white bandits to interfere in the internal affairs of Tsarist Russia, betrayed the nation and the country, and brought serious disasters to Russia. It should be severely punished. This is the judgment of the people.

This incident caused an uproar in all countries around the world. The most difficult thing to accept was Nicholas II's cousin, King George V. The original intention of the new Russian bourgeois government to promote the Tsar family to exile in Britain, and the British government and parliament also agreed.

However, George V, considering that the British Labor Party was more sympathetic to the Russian workers' movement and was afraid of causing chain adverse reactions, he refused to suggest exile, but unexpectedly harmed his cousin's family.

In his public speech at Buckingham Palace, George V accused the Russian workers' government of being the "public enemy of the world" and that Britain would unite with "all powers of justice" to crack down on "users who despise the throne and restore law and order..."

Subsequently, senior officials of foreign countries, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Western, Denmark, Norway and other kingdoms delivered policy speeches hostile to the current Russian government. The increase in the Russian interference army from 14 countries to 21 countries all at once, which shows the strong international response.

This slightly brutal action of the Russian workers' government touched the basis of the sacred and inviolable royal power and aroused public anger.

Among them, Britain, France and the United States were most angry. Britain was ruthlessly slapped in the face. France was furious and heartbroken because the new workers' government completely refused to recognize the huge loan of tens of billions of francs.

Speaking of which, France is also unlucky. The main battlefield of the Western Front of the World War was in France. While suffering huge losses of personnel, the wealthy France became a heavily in debt.

Before the war, France was a famous usury kingdom. She could live a very comfortable life by eating interest alone. Therefore, she ignored the development in the industrial field and failed to catch up with the second industrial revolution, which was characterized by electrification. She was left behind by advanced industrial countries such as the United States, Germany and Britain, and her comprehensive strength was far behind.

Before the pustules were unveiled, France still lived in a powerful dream, singing every night, and having the energy to point fingers around the world, and life was happy.

After the outbreak of the world war, the massive invasion of the German army broke the dream...

Before the war, France invested about 60 billion francs in countries around the world, and more than 60% of the investment was concentrated in European countries.

Among them, France lent the most to Russia was 11.3 billion francs, followed by the Ottoman Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Spain and Belgium. The combined number of countries is as high as more than 60 billion francs.

Although France's foreign capital exports are second only to the Ocean Empire and the United Kingdom, the Ocean Empire invested abroad to develop industries, support commodity exports, expand the financial industry dominated by banks, or set up factories and invest in industries.

France lends usury to others and earns interest. This unproductive usury capital output makes France receive huge interest every year and become a loan shark in Europe, so it is called "wereign imperialism."

Among the more than 40 million people in France, about 5 million profiteers maintain a luxurious life by relying on the interest generated by huge loans around the world.

After the war broke out, the old world continued to be broken, and these usury people fell into the abyss.

Originally, before the war, France had a debt of 8.6 billion francs against the Ocean Empire, but by the end of June 2018, it had already owed 5.5 billion gold-weather loans from the Ocean Empire, which was equivalent to 55 billion francs (the value of 14 years before the war).

During the war, France issued currency indiscriminately, causing the Franc currency to fall downward, which seemed particularly painful when repaying the strong Jinyang loan.

What made the French collapse was that the 11.3 billion francs lent to Russia were ruined. More than 80% of the probability of lent back the money to the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was not expected to be returned, but the money owed to the Ocean Empire had to be paid back.

The huge psychological gap is more than just the word "miserable"?

The Ocean Empire was not good either. The new Russian workers' government brazenly killed the Tsar family. After the incident was exposed, it attracted anger from the imperial royalist party and public opinion. There were shouts of beating and killing, and it was inevitably involved.

After all, both parties are in-laws in marriage, so how could they remain indifferent?

From the standpoint of a feudal emperor, it is impossible to show sympathy for the Russian workers' regime. It is indeed arbitrary and is more secure in following the crowd.

This secret was revealed earlier than in history, lies in the influence of the butterfly effect, and many major historical events have become beyond recognition.

Fortunately, the European war is imminent, leaving enough time for the Russian workers' regime to form a Russian workers' army, fight against the rebellious forces of Belarus and resist foreign interference.

Early July

The battlefield on the Eastern Front was covered with clouds.

After signing the Brest Contract, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire sent troops to invade large numbers, occupying Poland, Lithuania, Kurland, Levelland and Estrand. They also took over the Ardahan, Karls and Batumi.

According to the contract;

Russia recognized Ukraine and Finland's independence and immediately withdrew its troops from Finland, Ukraine and the Oran Islands, ensuring that peace treaties were signed with Ukraine immediately and recognizing the peace treaty between Ukraine, Austria, Bao and Turkey.

The problem now is that the 2nd Army is stationed in Kiev, controlling the land between Western Ukraine and Crimea, with a total of about 290,000 square kilometers, almost as large as three Zhejiang provinces.

As a member of the Allies Group, the Ocean Empire did not recognize the separate peace between Russia and Germany, nor did it recognize the relevant treaties, which became a hard nail on the battlefield on the Eastern Front.

The 5th and 9th German armies entered the Caucasus region in a large scale, approaching Western Ukraine with the millions of Austro-Hungarian Empire, forming a trend of battling from the north and the west.

The German and Austrian coalition forces totaled about 1.7 million, including 630,000 German troops and more than 1.1 million Austro-Hungarian troops. They took the momentum of a great victory on the Eastern Front battlefield and were overwhelmed with great momentum.

July 7, 2018

After the ultimatum was fruitless, the German and Austrian coalition concentrated 3,140 artillery pieces and launched violent artillery bombardments on the two battlefields of the North and Western Fronts as wide as 171 kilometers.

For a moment, the artillery fire broke out, shaking the sky and the earth...

The Battle of Western Ukraine begins

The Second Army of the Ocean Empire Expeditionary Army was not outdone and immediately dispatched a group of air fighters to attack, staged a fierce air battle over Western Ukraine.

Fighter groups on both sides roared and chased in the air, and the roar of engines shook the sky. The Royal Air Force once again showed its dominance over the sky, shooting down one German fighter jet after another, crashing into the black soil of Western Ukraine in long black smoke.

On the second day of the fierce battle, the Royal Air Force of the Ocean Empire was already very obvious. Only the few remaining German aircraft dared to take a risky battle, and the air competition entered the final stage.

At this time, the German and Austrian coalition forces couldn't wait to launch a general attack. The German and Austrian troops all over the mountains followed the passage opened by artillery fire, and floods surged like a spread.

In the sky

The Royal Air Force fleet of the Ocean Empire was dispatched, and the H-2 bombers nicknamed "Farmer" roared by in a dense manner, bombing the artillery positions behind the German army, with flames rolling and gunpowder everywhere.

With the support of artillery fire, the Russian soldiers who were stationed on the front line opened fire together with the remaining heavy machine guns in the open and secret bunkers, and cooperated with the heavy machine guns in the trenches to carry out "beyond shooting" and severely attacked the German and Austrian coalition forces.

The densely packed bullets fell from the sky, killing a large number of German and Austrian soldiers. The battles on the front line were very fierce, and the corpses were killed everywhere, revealing the blood and cruelty of the war.

The Russian army, which strengthened its weapons and equipment, leaped up and struggled to survive the fierce attack of the German and Austrian coalition forces. A few areas that were broken were taken back after being put into the reserve team to counterattack.

The fierce battle lasts for a day and will stop until dusk.
