The alliance between France and Japan made the Tang Empire suddenly nervous, and as France's long-term traditional ally, Britain's attitude became awkward and ambiguous.

The world situation suddenly surging.

On the second day after the signing of the French-Japanese alliance, Hitler conveyed his attitude to Zhang Meng through the Tang Dynasty Embassy in Germany. Hitler expressed his opinion against the French-Japanese alliance, hoping to build a German-Tang military alliance.

Zhang Meng was stunned. At this moment, history has undergone great changes like a change of worldly changes due to his butterfly wings. Because of Tang De's close military cooperation and Tang Ri's undying hostile relationship, the possibility of a German-Japanese alliance is very low. With Hitler's IQ, if you choose between Tang and Japan, it will definitely be the Tang Dynasty.

"Ask France's attitude, are they going to go to war with us?"

Zhang Meng did not reply to Hitler, but ordered the Secretariat to question the French government with the most serious attitude, clearly stating the hostile relationship between the Tang Empire and the Japanese Empire, and France asked for a clear reply.

At first, there were different opinions within the French government. The original intention of the Paul government was to create friction between Tang and Japan and use Japan to balance the Tang Dynasty to make profits. Unexpectedly, things became complicated. The Tang Empire asked France to respond in a questioning tone, and asked France to clearly state its position and not allow France to be ambiguous.

"With just an island country, you dare to clamor with the French Empire?"

French public opinion was very unhappy. As a victorious country in World War I, France has actually had a very strong foundation because it received German war reparations since the war. In terms of comprehensive national strength, it is not comparable to the Tang Empire.

Faced with the questioning of the Tang Empire, the Paul government had to sacrifice his face, reiterated the content of the French-Japanese alliance, and asked the Tang Empire not to act rashly.

This is equivalent to a positive response to the Tang Empire and expressing France's firm support for Japan.

After learning the news, Zhang Meng from the Daming Palace couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had been building a huge plan in his mind. The plan was originally intended to take advantage of the outbreak of World War II and the powers of various countries bit their dogs and mouths. The Tang Empire took the opportunity to rise rapidly and become a superpower that competed with the United States and the Soviet Union after the war. But now the plan cannot keep up with the changes. The expected camp of World War II has changed, and the Tang Empire is in an embarrassing position and will make a difficult choice.

Zhang Meng did some calculations in his mind. There must be a decisive battle in Tang and Japan. The outbreak of the Tang and Japan war will inevitably involve France. The traditional ally relationship between Britain and France is strong, and Britain suffered a great loss from the Tang Empire. In the end, it will inevitably choose France to stand on the side. It is unrealistic for the Tang Dynasty to go to war with the Three Kingdoms at the same time. Germany is the best choice to restrain Britain and France. However, the madman Hitler will inevitably fight from all sides, and the Soviet Union will eventually be involved in the war. Moreover, the United States will either stand on the side of Britain or be neutral, and it is absolutely impossible to stand on the side of the Tang and Germany. This is a huge variable.

Thinking of the terrifying industrial capabilities and war potential of the United States, Zhang Meng suddenly frowned.

"Oh shit!"

Zhang Meng didn't swear for a long time, but it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood at this moment.

Being able to live in this world is to make more money, but when you think of this, Zhang Meng made up his mind and decided to give it a try.

"If you win, the king and the prince are losers, I will not believe it. Will you definitely lose if you cooperate with Germany? If I win World War II, the textbooks of world history will inevitably say that Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union are fascist countries."

If the German army was given help at a critical moment, the German army might not have no choice but to do anything to Britain, and might not be frustrated in Stalingrad. Japan was an enemy of the Tang Dynasty and formed an alliance with Britain and France, and it was impossible for it to attack Pearl Harbor again. The isolationism in the United States is extremely powerful. As long as the Tang Empire did not easily touch the butt of the Americans, the United States might not easily participate in the war.

This war is not without hope of winning!

Thinking of this, Zhang Meng suddenly exuded endless fighting will all over his body.

"To Hitler's reply, we are willing to form an alliance!"

Zhang Meng's decision was the will of the entire Tang Empire. The officials of the Tang Empire were directly or indirectly trained by Zhang Meng, and they did not hesitate to support Zhang Meng's decision, especially the military, which was the backbone force that had always followed Zhang Meng. Since the end of the last war against Japan, they were all ready to improve their combat effectiveness and knowledge and technology. After more than five years of development, the backbone elements of that year were already members of all parties in the Tang Empire, and the middle class was filled with the first batch of graduates from the Tang Empire School. The grassroots were all outstanding soldiers who had gone to the battlefield to fight wars. If the Tang army relied on surprise during the previous battle against Japan, and the overall quality of the military source was lower than that of the Japanese army, then the Tang army has now caught up.

However, the only thing that is lacking is reserve force. Although the Tang Empire has expanded its population base to 16 million in recent years, the issue of military source is no longer a key constraint, after all, the founding of the country and the army was short, and only the first batch of graduates trained by the empire's own military academies to serve. Although the Tang Empire has sent students to famous military academies around the world on a large scale in recent years, and many batches have returned to China, it is only more than 10,000 people. In contrast, since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has produced tens of thousands of military academies in its domestic military academies, and in addition, it has cultivated hundreds of thousands of experienced military talents in the war against China, Russia and Germany, which are incomparable to the Tang Empire in a short period of time.

It is precisely because of this reason that Zhang Meng agreed to Japan's request for peace a few years ago. After all, the Tang army lacked talents and reserve forces, and it was impossible to fight with the Japanese army.

Although this problem has eased, Zhang Meng dared not take risks easily. If he had not been forced to do so, Ning Yuan would develop a few more years to strengthen his strength.

On December 5, 1935, after repeated consultations and negotiations between Tang and Germany, Tang and Germany formed a military alliance. The same method as the alliance between France and Japan was exactly the same. Tang and Germany also signed an alliance under the banner of the International Industry. However, because the international situation was delicate, Tang and Germany both made noises in advance to test the reactions of Britain, the United States, France, Italy and other countries. As a result, France strongly protested on the grounds of the Versailles contract, and Britain also protested symbolically. However, the thunder and rain were low, and the Stanley cabinet pursued a policy of appeasement and did not take practical actions. The United States was relatively low-key, and the Hoover administration only called on the four countries of Tang, Germany, France and Japan to sit down and have a good talk, hoping that the two camps would jointly target the Communist International and the Soviet Union and not have internal strife.

Italian Prime Minister Mussolini highly praised Hitler and supported the German-Dang alliance. At the same time, he expressed great interest in joining the Tang-Dang alliance. This was as expected by Zhang Meng and there was no big change.

The only variable is the Soviet Union. Originally, the Tang, Germany, France and Japan claimed that the international industry was targeting the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union did not care. Since the Soviet Union and the Tang, Germany, and France had no conflicts of territory, economy and other core interests, after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan seized a lot of Russian land and interests in China. Especially after Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces of China, it posed an imminent threat to the security of the Soviet Far East, and the Soviet and Japanese armies were constantly in conflict with each other in the border area.

What Zhang Meng did not expect was that the Soviet Union also expressed his willingness to work with the Tang Empire to restrain Japan from the north and the south, and even hoped to join the Tang and De Alliance and sign a non-aggression treaty with Tang and De.

Zhang Meng had a headache and didn't know how to choose for a while.
