While the two were eating, Jesla walked in and took out a telegram, which was an ultimatum issued by the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Serbia, to seize any publications that caused hatred and contempt for the Austro-Hungarian royal family and to immediately ban national self-defense.

organize and ban other organizations that engage in anti-Austro-Hungarian propaganda; immediately delete from educational groups and teaching methods any teaching content that will or may incite anti-Austro-Hungarian propaganda; expel those in the military or administrative departments who are accused of carrying out anti-Austro-Hungarian propaganda.

Hungarian propaganda officials, the list of which was provided by the Austro-Hungarian government.

Accept cooperation with relevant departments of the Austro-Hungarian government to suppress activities in Serbia that attempt to subvert the territorial integrity of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; with the assistance and instructions of relevant departments designated by the Austrian government, take legal action to punish the planning or execution of the assassination on June 28

incident, and persons who were in Serbian territory in 1914; immediately arrest the two named persons revealed by Austria-Hungary's preliminary investigation; maintain cooperation and take effective measures to curb arms smuggling in its territory; explain to Austria-Hungary that it is hostile to it, and

statements by senior Serbian officials inside or outside Serbia; and to take immediate steps to inform the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

There are ten articles in total. Sheffield read it very carefully. This seemingly official article is definitely not literal. Just like the clauses Sheffield wants to supplement the segregation bill, it has a deep meaning.

After years of training, the Lord can see the connection between diplomatic rhetoric and its true meaning.

"William, what's going on!" Robert Parker looked at Sheffield silently for a long time and asked curiously.

"Oh, it's the ultimatum given by the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Serbians." Sheffield put down the telegram and said relaxedly, "My friend, let's go to Biermont Manor to chat tonight."

"The Kaiser wants me to stop thinking carefully about whether we should mobilize. As you know, he and I have a very good relationship. Things should not have reached this point." Nicholas II's joy at the recovery of his daughter only lasted.

One day later, news came that Serbia had decided to reject the ultimatum and that Austria-Hungary had launched a national mobilization, putting pressure on the entire Europe.

Sukhomlinov, the Minister of War beside Nicholas II, knew that his emperor was still in a dilemma. He understood this difficulty, but firmly refused, "Only partial mobilization against the Austro-Hungarian Empire is

If not, the general mobilization plan will either start or not, there will not be a compromise."

"I'm thinking about it!" Nicholas II sighed and waved his hand for Sukhomlinov to go down. At this time, every second that passed was a torment for him. He knew how to avoid it.

The war in front of him is a tragic war whose scale far exceeds that of the Russo-Japanese War. Can the current Russian Empire withstand it?

The sun rose over the east coast of the United States, but Sheffield, who had not slept all night, was in an excited mood. In these short pages, he said to Jesra enthusiastically, "How is it? Isn't it very logical? This is the British

The irrefutable evidence of the separation of Europe is that once the war on the European continent begins, all newspapers under the League of Nations will publish reports about Britain deceiving Germany."

"Boss, the largest ethnic group in the country are British immigrants." Jesla looked at the energetic boss and couldn't help but remind him.

"So what? How long have we been independent? The Germans came forward to help us weaken the British. This is the most worthy of celebration for our country." Sheffield waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "We have to make the Germans give up.

There is nothing wrong with fantasizing about preparing for a struggle. History has proven that the British are hypocritical. Although we are also hypocritical, our country is not in the position of the British. The biggest goal now is to remove the British from the position of world hegemon.

Pull it up and down, nothing else matters.”

"We want to discredit the British in front of the whole world, and at the same time, this is also an excellent opportunity to exclude German influence. We will only benefit our own country. As for the nonsense about blood being thicker than water, that is for ordinary citizens."

It’s the indoctrination that should be accepted, do you understand?” Sheffield flipped through his hard work one by one, and the results obtained after a night of no rest were worth it.

Sheffield's standard for judging whether things are just is that he, his family, the Dixie people, and the white people of the United States all rank fourth. As for the British Empire in Europe, the so-called father of the United States, it is on the same level as Germany.

News of the mutual mobilization of Austria-Hungary and Serbia has spread throughout the world. At this time, diplomats and royal families in various countries are still struggling in vain to prevent war from coming.

On the United States side, Robert Parker's lobbying company successfully launched a lobbying campaign against the federal government. The basis of the lobbying was fake news created by Sheffield himself.

Why did the lobbying company of the former president's son do this? There is a very fair excuse. Blood is thicker than water!

If tens of millions of people in the entire UK were to die, Sheffield would of course dance with joy on the spot, but then he would cry crocodile tears, pick up the blood-thicker-than-water sign from the ground, and try to get the United States to come forward to defend the UK.

People take revenge. Even if he never believes these nonsense, there is no way that the citizens believe it.

"Mr. William, you don't seem to have had a good rest." As the manager of the headquarters of Thyssen Associates in New York, Gretel Thiessen had just come to work when he was startled by the tired-looking Sheffield and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't say anything yet!" Sheffield, of course, had not rested well. He lowered his voice to signal Gretel Thiessen not to act rashly, and followed him upstairs carefully.

All this confused Gretel Thiessen, and he didn't speak again until he arrived in his office, "Mr. William."

"Gretel, take a look at this first!" Sheffield stared at his bloodshot eyes like a thief, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, handed them to the other party and said, "I hope you can know,

The dangerous environment now facing the German Empire."

"Is this?" Seeing the world's richest man like this, Gretel Thyssen did not dare to neglect, and quickly took the paper handed over by Sheffield and read it. His doubts were replaced by an incredulous look, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Compared to the slave owners who were suffering from lack of sleep, the upright Germans looked quite wonderful. Finally, they suddenly raised their heads and said, "Mr. William, is this true? The British have been presiding over the mediation of the crisis between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Serbs."

"The most untrustworthy people in the world are the British. It's good if you are a powerful country or an ally of the British, but your country cannot be stronger than the British. As long as any country has a tendency to become stronger than the British, it will no longer be an ally of the British.

.The balance of power on the continent, with the weak united against the stronger, has always been the focus of British diplomacy." Sheffield stared at his red and swollen eyes and danced, but Gretel Thyssen's heart became heavier and heavier, and he shook his head and said,

"Maybe this information is not accurate. Maybe Mr. William, your information is not true. I'm sorry, I have no doubt about Mr. William's friendliness to Germany."

"The president of the lobbying company, his name is Robert Parker, and he is the son of President Alton Parker." Sheffield used a calm and even gentle voice to pierce Greter Thiessen's fantasy, "Actually, I want to prove that this intelligence is

It’s not true. It will be clear when the British tear off the mask of hypocrisy, and I believe it won’t take too long.”

These words completely shattered all of Greter Thyssen's illusions. The president of the lobbying company was the son of the former president. If this was not credible, what else could be credible? Did President Wilson need to personally prove it?

"Will the Liege Fortress in Belgium block the German army's attack and buy Britain time to organize an expeditionary force?" Gretel Thyssen asked, taking out the most important part of the lobbying content.

"No intelligence can be guaranteed to be 100% accurate. It can only be proven by the first trigger point, which is when the UK clearly takes off its mediation mask." Sheffield knew that the UK still looked like a mediator, but it was about to end, he said.

It may have been torn.

Gretel Thyssen no longer had any doubts and sincerely thanked Sheffield, "Mr. William, thank you for everything you have done for Germany."

"The best thank you is for letting me do nothing. Although anti-Britishness is the mainstream in the United States, who knows whether it is true or false?" Sheffield sighed, "I hope that some of the things I do will save Germany from

To deceive and prevent the outbreak of war, peace is always valuable." That's weird!

The Ace Spy's first move was a complete success. Even before Sheffield left the Thyssen Associates building, Gretel Thyssen had already urgently contacted the channel to send this important intelligence to Berlin.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, we think William II is using his cousin relationship to deceive you." At the cabinet meeting in the Winter Palace, War Minister Sukhomlinov spoke angrily, and the entire cabinet was also furious. At such an important time,

, the Russian emperor turned out to be indecisive.

Nicholas II sighed. He was shaken again and walked outside to the garden to meditate.

"Your Majesty, we all know that this is a difficult decision." The servant in the garden saw the hesitation of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor and comforted him.

At this moment Nicholas II was touched in his heart. Nicholas has long been regarded as an indecisive coward, living in the shadow of his ancestor Peter I. At this difficult moment, a decisive decision must be made

! He eliminated those weak thoughts that yearned for peace, and made a determined effort to restart national mobilization.

Gretel Thyssen's telegram has been sent to Berlin and the palace of Wilhelm II through Thyssen Associates. In fact, just before this telegram was sent, the British Foreign Secretary had changed his tone towards the German Ambassador in London.

Do not exclude participation in the war.
