"Yes, boss, this is a huge disaster." Although Jesra did not see his boss being sad at all, he did not stop him from being a yes man and in line with his boss's opinions.

"The world today is too scary, and many people are very irritable." Sheffield shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I am still looking for two female Grand Duchess. You can just tell me the progress of the matter. In recent years,

The domestic economy has been struggling in the quagmire. Our factory needs to attract a group of workers to make its own contribution to the national economy."

Almost immediately, Sheffield knew that it was necessary to expand the United Company's recruitment. If this was not done now, it would be too late to recruit workers when the war broke out.

This time the slave owner acted faster than the kings of European countries and immediately began preparations for war. At the same time, he also contacted Kuwait, the only country under his control that might be affected. Only strength is the basis for self-protection. He hoped that Britain and the United States

The sordid relationship between the two countries, which is constantly being resolved and disrupted, can prevent Kuwait from being attacked.

I hope the British Empire will be more sensible on this matter, otherwise, the Democratic Party is now in power in the United States. Taking advantage of the world war to give the British Empire such a sudden break is not a good thing for both parties.

A neutral country that stays out of the situation may not be what the British want, but it is better than the emergence of a hostile country.

Off the coast of Kiel, on the yacht of the German royal family, William II listened to the news of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand with an expressionless face. William II, dressed in military uniform, listened to the words of Chief of General Staff Moltke and said, "This

Is this a good opportunity?"

"For us, the sooner the war breaks out, the better, and it is best to start it right away." Little Maoqi said with an appraising look on his face, "The war must be started when it is beneficial to our allies. The later the war breaks out, the more serious it will be for us.

Disadvantage. Another favorable condition is that Nicholas II’s daughter disappeared in the United States, which should be more unlucky. Now that Queen Nicholas is still in America, in this case, the panicked Nicholas II

The world may not be too radical about the Balkans."

Moltke also used the attack in Texas as a current advantage, pointing out that the current Russian Empire might not interfere with the Allied Powers' position.

The Russian Empire has always been an important part of the Allied Powers camp. Although the Russian Empire was disgraced during the Russo-Japanese War, some countries are like this. No matter how decadent the country looks, you cannot underestimate it.

Imperial Russia is such a typical country. With every passing year, Russia will become more and more powerful with the assistance of France. In a few years, all the unfavorable factors of the Russian Empire will be solved. If a war breaks out at that time, it will be very harmful to Germany.

Very disadvantageous.

In fact, once the potential of the Russian Empire bursts out, it will be more difficult to deal with than any other country. German leaders have already foreseen that Russia's power will become stronger day by day, and the seemingly powerful Austria-Hungary Empire will gradually decline, so they hope to compare the strength

Wage war when circumstances are favorable.

After listening to the words of the Chief of General Staff, William II seemed to be relieved. The inquiry he just made was not to seek advice, but just to get the support he wanted. After hearing this, he said, "Yes, you think the same as me. This is right."

We have a very favorable opportunity. We are not afraid of any country, but it is undeniable that the overall strength of the Allied Powers is more advantageous. The sooner the war breaks out, the better it will be for us."

For Germany, when no one is ready for war, it is better to break out late than to break out early.

"When war and peace are put on the same scale, the one with the greatest interests will be crowned justice. Justice can be shaped, and history is written by the victors anyway."

Although the Sarajevo incident only lasted a day, it has already shown its effects. At least in the Allied camp, there are already calls for war. It is newspapers in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy also hopes to regain what was taken away by France through war.

Colonial. Of course the voice is not loud now!

As a French person and a first-generation immigrant, it is impossible for Anne not to have feelings for France. When she heard that there was a risk of war, she was very worried about France and her mother in France. She asked herself what she sometimes felt like

Will a war break out with the scumbag husband?

It's a pity that I only got a very clever answer from Sheffield. Many words seem reasonable, but if you taste them carefully, you will find that they are really not nutritious.

Anne was very dissatisfied with Sheffield's words and blocked her airway, "I just want to ask my mother if she is safe and if a war is coming soon."

"Based on what I know about the old man, if war really comes, he will run very fast. I don't run too slowly, so there is no need to worry for the time being." Sheffield stretched out his hand to rub the hard beard on his chin.

Stubble said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Don't underestimate the old man's ability to fear death."

There was unusual movement in the Imperial Russian Mission in Texas, and Sheffield learned through Washington. It should be the connection between Imperial Russia and the Imperial Russian Mission.

The slave owner's guess was correct. Nicholas II strictly ordered his wife, Empress Nicholas, and his two remaining daughters to return to the country immediately. How could the search for the other two daughters be left to the rest of the mission to follow up?

.

Sheffield didn't know what the purpose of doing this was, and he was not the emperor of the Russian Empire. Could it be that Nicholas II had become far-sighted? He believed that war was inevitable, and in order to prevent his family from leaving the protection, he strictly ordered his wife and daughter to return home?

In fact, it was not that complicated. It was two consecutive assassinations that made Nicholas II think that a new round of assassinations of political figures from various countries had begun again, and that his wife was not safe outside. As for the death of Rasputin, he did not

He didn't particularly care, because he was not like Empress Nicholas, who had the fanaticism of a convert and was exploited by Rasputin.

Nicholas II did not think so much, but it does not mean that there were no ministers in the Russian Empire who recognized the danger. There are two large military groups in the world today, but under the two major groups, there are many frameworks specifically targeting third countries.

.For example, the Balkan Anti-Russian Agreement included Romania’s participation.

Although Romania ultimately chose to join the Allies, Bulgaria, which had previously been pro-Russian, joined the Allies instead.

The rise of Germany was a major event that changed the balance of power in Europe, amplifying many factors that were not conducive to the Russian Empire. This was also the reason why the Alliance of Three Emperors was eventually replaced by the Triple Entente.

Every country has its own reasons for participating in the war, so the ministers of the Russian Empire also strongly recommended that the queen be brought back immediately and not stay abroad at this dangerous moment.

This is not a question of whether Empress Nicholas is willing or not. The emperor and ministers have the same opinion on this matter. When such a big thing happened, Nicholas II could only be cruel and let his wife go

capricious.

The Imperial Russian delegation was divided into two parts. The remaining people continued to search for the whereabouts of the two female Grand Duchess, while a part of them escorted Empress Nicholas back to the country.

Sheffield appeared again. At the hotel where Queen Nicholas was staying, he vowed that he would give an explanation and write a bad check at will. No one would be able to find the Grand Duchess anyway.

"Since the Queen is returning to the country, I can only wish you a safe journey." Sheffield said with a look of pity on his face, "I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that the two Grand Duchess are still in Texas.

Now every road has been blocked and not even a bird can fly out. As long as the criminals realize that they cannot escape and search door to door, they will always be found. When the time comes, I will personally ask them why they do this."

Empress Nicholas was gone, unwillingly taken away on the orders of her husband, Emperor Nicholas II of Russia.

Sheffield even went to the train station to say goodbye in person. He wanted the other party to leave Texas as soon as possible. The moment the train disappeared from sight, he said directly, "All the food, steel and oil that are now in the backlog will be sent to Europe immediately. All of them."

"

"I know, boss, will a war break out?" Jesra asked as she walked in front of Sheffield.

"The question you asked is interesting. The heir to the country was killed by an ordinary person from a small country with one shot, and there was no reaction at all. How does the world view the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Sheffield smiled coldly and said, "Nothing.

If you accept it, let alone Serbia, the Slavic provinces within it will still listen to Vienna’s orders?”

Will the Austro-Hungarian Empire take action and Russia watch? Will the years of hard work in the Balkans and the influence of the Slavic world's leading brother be destroyed in one day? The Germans will watch as the only country of the same ethnic group is defeated?

If the Germans join the war, will France give up the rare opportunity to attack from both sides and let its country face the Allies alone in the future?

Every country has its reasons for joining the war. If industrialized society is fully mobilized, it will definitely be countless times bloodier than all the forgotten wars.

In the streets and alleys of Texas cities, job postings covered the original missing persons notices looking for the Grand Duchess. After Empress Nicholas left, the slave owners did not even bother to pretend, and hurriedly prepared blood transfusions for the participating countries.

The preparation is the real thing.

Cargo ships left the port one after another, heading for Lyon, Hamburg, London, Marseille, and even Constantinople.

At the same time, under the recruitment notice that raised the monthly salary by three dollars, countless people lined up to enter his factory. On the other side of the Atlantic in Europe, private contacts between various countries reached an unprecedented level.

All diplomats are doing their best to fight for the last chance of peace and frequently release optimistic news to the outside world. This is in sharp contrast to some newspapers that encourage the advent of war.

"There will be no war in Europe!" This is an article published by the New York Times. It lists the various advantages of Europe as the origin of modern civilization and believes that all countries will definitely come up with feasible methods to avoid war.
