"More than ten years of preparation have gone to nothing. The navy really lost the entire war service in one afternoon. After receiving the news of Makanov's defeat, Ruprecht sighed. He knew that so far, in addition to the United States, the general trend in the world has coincided with history. If nothing unexpected happens, the Russians will be defeated, and then finally join the Allies with the economic aid of Britain and France. Then the Allies led by Britain, France and Russia will fight against allies mainly Germany, Austria and Turkey. As for Italy? This country is still in North Africa and Turkey, and hope it can continue to consume.

When the news of the Battle of the South China Sea reached Japan, the Japanese, as winners, were naturally overjoyed. They cheered for their victory, and the French and British were happy with the Japanese. The Russians fell into a big flaw in the Far East at the beginning of the war, which was definitely a good thing for both countries. The British continued to watch the wall, watching the Russians get deeper and deeper, while the French make money from the Russians while thinking about how to add a few nooses to the Russians' necks.

The Russians did not give up, at least Nicholas II did not want to admit defeat like this. On the one hand, the propaganda organs of the Russian government began to hype the despicable and shamelessness of the Japanese and started the war with sneak attacks. The fact is indeed the case. The Japanese made a fuss to make a profit this time. At the same time, Russia has entered a state of war readiness, and more and more materials are transported from Europe to the Far East. The temporary defeat at sea did not completely lose confidence. They now have an army that has been prepared for more than ten years! However, what the Russians did not expect was that on the day the war broke out at sea, the Japanese army launched the first attack...

"The Russian Navy has lost, they have lost the opportunity to fundamentally solve Japan. The remaining fleets are separated in two directions. Even if we provide assistance according to the original plan, it cannot solve the problem." Benson was surprised by the correct analysis of the situation by the Bavarian ****, and on the other hand, he also expressed his concerns about the battle situation to Roosevelt.

"It seems that we lost again this time, right? Perhaps it was a wrong choice to plan to break the deadlock from the perspective of Russia from the beginning. It was a corrupt, old, backward, and incompatible with this era. It was completely incompatible with our requirements." Roosevelt had also realized the result of this war. It was indeed impossible for Japan to completely expel Russian power from the Northeast, but at least Japan could further expand its sphere of influence in the Far East. If the Russians could not fight, the Japanese had the support of the British, and the Russian financial owners did not want Russia to continue, so this war would definitely not last.

"It seems that six years have passed, and the encirclement that bound the development of the United States has not been weakened but strengthened. If this battle is won, the Japanese will become the undisputed regional overlord in the Far East, and Russia will become an ally of Britain and France. All our efforts will be in vain! Loans and warships built by the Russians have made wedding dresses for others. Old powers led by Britain, France and Russia will be united to cope with all the crises in the world." Benson also said helplessly.

"Don't take the situation so badly. The biggest crisis of the British has not yet arrived. The British always only focus on two things, one is maritime power and shipping, and the other is the equilibrium of the European continent. The latter is particularly important to the British. Now, the equilibrium of Europe has been broken, and the power of the French-Russian alliance is far weaker than that of Germany and Austria. If the British want to balance, they must take action themselves. If this is a protracted war, the blow to Britain, France and Russia will be devastating."

Roosevelt said with a smile. Russia is just a chess move. It is good to be able to defeat Japan, but it doesn't matter if it can't, because the United States of America has a better choice. Imagine that Europe was seriously injured in this war, while the United States was unscathed, and even opened up the situation in the Far East during this period. What a wonderful thing it was to do?

"This will be an extremely protracted war. No matter what the final result of the war between the two sides, the lights of European civilization will be extinguished after the war." After a while, Benson said quietly. He could not imagine that when 5 to 6 European powers decide to start a war, it would be a war that would affect the world. Except for the United States, all the most powerful countries in the world would probably be involved. Both sides were evenly matched and were extremely confident in their own strength. The war would start on their territory, colonies and the oceans of the world. Now the consumption of war will be an extremely terrifying number.

"What we need to do is to make this war last longer, make both sides as miserable as possible, and then stop with an unbeaten ending! The hatred will continue. After the war, what they first consider is not how to heal the trauma of the war, but how to defeat their opponents again in the future. The Germans will still be limited to the European continent as an important piece for our predecessors, and the British will fall from the peak of maritime power, and then our opportunity will come!" Roosevelt's smiling face seemed a little terrifying to Benson!

There are only interests between countries. In order to prevent the United States from being on the side of the Allies, the prince plotted against the Americans without mercy, and the Americans also regarded the Germans as pawns for their own interests. Both sides only had common interests in some aspects. Ruprecht would treat Austro-Hungary as friends, but would never treat the United States as friends. He only believed in part of the promises of the Americans. What about the United States? Although in principle, it supported the confrontation between the Germans and Britain and France, he definitely did not want to see a strong Germany that could leave Europe! When both sides were drinking and having fun, they also had various plots behind their backs.

"It seems that in order to achieve this goal, we have to deal with His Highness **** from Bavaria for a long time. To be honest, I feel that he is not a suitable ally because he is too smart, can see far, and has great means." Benson said with a frown slightly.

"So what? He is not the German Emperor. From a strategic perspective, he is just a passive bearer. The conflict between old empires such as Britain and France and emerging powers such as Germany and Austria will happen sooner or later. What else can he do besides actively responding? He will accept our loans, then give us the benefits we want, and then fight a battle with the British for the interests of the United States!" Roosevelt said indifferently.
