The news of Italy's participation in the war was an unexpected surprise to Sheffield, but he was far from showing how happy he was.

"Boss!" Jesra said softly. Doesn't his boss hope that the bigger the war, the better? It should be a happy thing for the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Italy to join the war one after another.

"What I'm afraid of now is that the Allied Powers won't be able to withstand it." Sheffield said eyelidly, "If nothing happens, Britain will declare war on the Kingdom of Italy soon. The Allies are currently Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy.

It seems to be weaker than the Allied Powers of Britain, France and Russia, but the territories of several countries are connected to each other. On the contrary, the Allied Powers can no longer support each other. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. The most important thing is that compared with the naval power, the Austro-Hungarian Navy is not strong.

, even the naval power of the entire Allied Powers cannot compare with that of the Entente Powers."

"Now, the Imperial Russian Navy is blocked by the Dardanelles Strait and cannot get out. It was equivalent to annihilation at the beginning of the war. The Austro-Hungarian Empire's navy has ushered in liberation. Together with the Italian Navy, the naval power of the Mediterranean is one

For example, if the Allies want to gain an advantage, Britain must send troops from the Home Fleet to assist. Otherwise, the connection between France and its North African colonies may be cut off, and it will no longer be able to receive support from overseas. This will be detrimental to France, whose national strength is not as strong as the Germans.

It’s not good news.”

With Italy and the Ottoman Empire joining the war within two days, the overall strength of the Allies has been infinitely closer to that of the Entente. In theory, the British Empire can mobilize manpower from all over the world to support the war. But a large part of these soldiers are Indians

, can Indians also fight?

Not to mention now, even if India attacks Pakistan a hundred years from now, it is not the slave owner's bragging. He has five times the population of the other party and four times the territory of the other party. He will not be worse than the Indians in fighting Pakistan.

It's just crushing by standard national strength. The war fought by India in the 21st century is actually the small farming and pastoral countries surrounding the Qing Dynasty in the agricultural era. The level is about the same. The population of our country far exceeds yours. What kind of genius general is extraordinary?

There is no need for strategy at all. If it is a one to one exchange, I will definitely win.

One advantage of fighting this way is that if you don't think too highly of yourself, the chance of overturning is much smaller. When facing the same agricultural countries that are weaker than themselves, the Qing Dynasty is a more terrifying existence than the Han and Tang Dynasties. It's just a trick of the industrial age.

Can't go down anymore.

Sheffield is now afraid that the Allied camp will be cut off in the middle. If one side of the French-Russian alliance, the real core of the Entente, is severely damaged, or if the Germans cut their throats in an instant, this all-out war will not be able to continue.

The slave owner who woke up in the morning made a rare trip to the church. Of course, he did not go to the church to atone for his sins, but to pray for France and Imperial Russia so that they would not be defeated by the sharp German offensive at the beginning.

"My dear, the Allies will not collapse like this." Louisa Morgan comforted softly. She understood the slave owner's inner thoughts. The series of pro-German voices did not come from the heart, but only for the weaker allies.

Encourage.

"What is the Entente? It's a Franco-Russian alliance. I never pray for the British to be even a little better." Sheffield categorically denied, "It would be best if the British were unlucky. Maybe we can take the opportunity to liberate Canada, but if France and Russia are

The Germans have been defeated. Who in this world will dare to say no to Germany in the future?"

"You really have a burning hatred for Britain." Louisa Morgan finally confirmed one thing, the slave owners' hatred of Britain was not just a show.

"Heretics are more hateful than heretics. I am a heretic. To the country of Britain, the United States is a heretic." Sheffield chuckled and said, "Is it so difficult to understand? At the level of asking Britain to get out of the world, we and Germany

People are unanimous, but Germany is far more powerful than the United States and is a country that can prevent Germany from achieving its goals through war. Britain does not have such ground power. The only country that has such power is the Franco-Russian alliance."

"I want to find a way to help the Franco-Russian alliance!" Sheffield thought for a moment and realized that it was not impossible. He had two female archduchess on his hands, and he could send some analysis to Nicholas II through this channel.

At this time, the slave owner was no longer the pasha of the Ottoman Empire, an old friend of the German people. He finally remembered that his wife was French and his most beautiful mistress was Russian.

“In this situation, we can only count on Britain to mobilize colonial troops from all over the world as soon as possible.” Sheffield reminded Anne on the phone, “France must put some pressure on the British, because currently only Britain has the naval power to escort various places.

The colonial army will inject fresh blood into the Allied Powers. Through the telegram from the daughter of the Russian Emperor, some analyzes of the War Department of the United States can be communicated to the senior Russian officials."

"I knew you wouldn't let the Allies suffer misfortune." Anne said sweetly, "My dear."

"Don't say that, dear, you know I have always been very hostile to Britain." Sheffield sighed, "All I can do is scold the British in the newspapers. The British expect France and Russia to bleed, and they are like

It was absolutely impossible to get through the war in the past. It had to deal with the war with all its strength. Next, the League of Nations society criticized Britain for not paying attention to France and Russia."

The slave owner was not good at anything, but he was very good at scolding the British. He could not allow the British to mess around like they had in history. Although the British suffered heavy losses in World War I, compared to the Franco-Russian alliance, which had already used its energy to suck milk,

, Britain is just dawdling.

In the first few days of the Battle of the Marne, the League of Nations seemed to point out from the standpoint of the Allied Powers that the Allies were not united, and the British were still thinking of a continental balance of power, hoping that the Franco-Russian alliance would shed blood and weaken all the powerful countries in Europe.

When the two major camps were fully engaged in this unprecedented war, Sheffield directed the League of Nations to provide guidance, bringing a touch of comedy to the world war. But in the eyes of the participating countries,

This behavior of hiding aside and working as a war reporter is very hateful.

Soon the British government ordered the closure of the League of Nations newspaper in the UK, killing this newspaper that mobilized military morale to serve as a warning to monkeys.

Of course, Sheffield expressed a serious protest, although he was not distressed at all and thought it was very normal. The participating countries could block the news despite the Spanish flu, but there was nothing these countries could do.

Immediately afterwards, France also followed the British move and closed down the League of Nations newspaper in Paris. But the impact had already been made. The French president and prime minister put pressure on London and asked Britain to immediately mobilize colonial troops to join the war. It was a life-and-death moment.

, putting aside selfishness and jointly dealing with the threat from the Allies is the serious thing to do.

"Why on earth does that spiritual German hate the British Empire so much?" Churchill was furious. With the ability of the British government, of course he knew who the owner of these newspapers was.

From the very beginning of the war, Sheffield's newspapers did not say a good word about Britain, so as to ensure Belgium's neutrality. Sheffield said that Britain deliberately deceived Germany and caused the outbreak of the world war. It was hypocritical! The Ottoman Empire entered the war, and Sheffield said it was because of the seizure of

Two Ottoman battleships were aimed directly at Churchill, the Lord of the Admiralty himself.

Now that Italy has entered the war, the entire Allied land is connected, and France and Russia are at war. Sheffield also said that Britain is playing with the balance of power on the continent and does not work hard.

It's a matter of conscience. In the first few days after the war broke out, many people, including Churchill, thought so. But now that the situation has reached such a critical level, there is nothing left to do.

The participating countries were all focused on fighting the war, but the slave owners on the other side of the Atlantic had been nagging the British. Now the government has finally closed down these newspapers, which is really satisfying. But the impact has already been caused. On the same day, the French Prime Minister and the President sent telegrams to London one after another.

, asking the UK to provide more sincere support.

At the cabinet meeting on this day, Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith and many ministers, including Churchill, formally began to discuss the issue of conscription in overseas territories.

"The Germans were really well prepared for war, and the participation of the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Italy in the war caught people off guard." When Herbert Henry Asquith mentioned the Ottoman Empire, his eyes swept away from Churchill.

Pass.

Churchill's seizure of the Ottoman Empire battleship is now a well-known fact throughout the country. Although he himself did not admit it. Who among the cabinet ministers does not know that this is true? It is just to maintain the unity of the cabinet during the war.

Only then did they declare to the outside world that it was the stubbornness of the pro-German faction in the Ottoman Empire that led to this result.

"The two sides are fighting fiercely on the Marne River front line. It is conservatively estimated that both sides have suffered more than 100,000 casualties in a few days. This is a tragedy we have never heard of. To be honest, only ministers are here now. I already regret getting involved in this war. For a

Serbia, we have paid such a heavy price, but the war seems to have just begun. If the war cannot be won in a short time, I simply cannot imagine it."

Edward Gray, as foreign secretary, lamented, "I regret even my pledge of Belgian neutrality."

"It is meaningless to say this now. The situation of the French is very dangerous. Now France and Russia have doubts about our actions." Herbert Henry Asquith said firmly, "We have entered the war, and only

Only when we win can we come out. What I mean is to immediately expand conscription in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, and form the Canadian Legion and the Anzac Corps. The Canadian Legion will be deployed on the Western Front, and the ANZAC Corps will be deployed on the Mediterranean Front, with Egypt as the base and the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Italy.

Fight."

"The key thing now is to maintain sea control. If France has no problem, it should cooperate with our Mediterranean Fleet to launch an attack on the Italian Navy." Churchill suggested.

"That's it. Our allies now urgently need our sincerity." Herbert Henry Asquith said decisively.
