Chapter 203 Want to be a oriole

The Japanese published in the newspaper that Tsarist Russia declared war on the Nanjing central government earlier than the Tsarist Russian officials. Even when the newspaper was printed, Kanir Ishihara, who was the emperor's special envoy, was still on a plane returning from Moscow.

The devils really need good news now. This shocked the world. You should know that it may be nothing if the two Asian countries fought, but although the polar bear of Tsarist Russia has always been praised by Europeans as a barbarian, it is also an important military power on the European continent. This time, it really responded to that saying, a polar bear stood on the scale of war.

In the 1930s, there was only one consulate of the Russian polar bear in Nanjing (the embassy was not a big street at this time). After receiving the news, Principal Jiang immediately summoned the consulate of the Russian Consulate to ask about the authenticity of the matter. The consul did not know what Moscow was doing thousands of miles away and said what he was doing. He was not a heavenly eye and ear-like manner. He did not say hello to him from beginning to end.

Therefore, the consul's answer to the principal's inquiry was: "Just... I hesitate..." If he makes a wrong answer, it is a big event.

The principal understood the attitude of the Tsarist Russian consul when he saw the attitude of the Tsarist Russians. He recalled that the Russians used the Middle East Road to transport troops to the Japanese and sent air volunteer groups. It was not an exaggeration to say that this behavior was declared as a declaration of war. It was just that Nanjing did not want to face the challenge of two bad guys at once, so he did not declare war on Tsarist Russia. But now it seems that he can't escape.

Originally, the president wanted to withdraw some of the Central Army from Shaanxi, but now he didn't think he could withdraw some of the Central Army from Shaanxi. Now he didn't think he could withdraw his troops to the northwest to prevent Tsarist Russia. As for the coastal destination, it was very safe. Although this old Russian also had a Far East fleet in the Far East, there were not a main battleship. Now Nanjing has six Zhongshan-class super battleships. (Zhongshan, Qingling, Lushan, Taishan, Huashan, Huangshan) Most of these battleships are named after the word "shan", which is also a fact. Super battleships with displacement of tens of thousands of tons look like mountains on the sea.

The Russian consul who was not clear about the words was sent away, and the principal urgently met with the German ambassador. As an ally, although he had been fighting in this war that took place in Asia, if Tsarist Russia declared war on the Nanjing central government, it would be equivalent to declaring war on Germany. These two countries are both European countries, although the territory of the two countries is not bordered, they are still fighting during the war.

The only sandwich biscuit between the two countries is not so good (Belarus and Ukraine are not yet ** at this time). In addition, Czechoslovakia, Austria and Hungary are all Germans. Now the German head of the Beard is actively striving to merge with Ollity Hungary and Czechoslovakia, thus forming a great German empire against European powers.

Relatively speaking, the German ambassador understood a lot and told the principal that he had sent the news back to Berlin. Regardless of the truth or falsehood of the news, Berlin would react as soon as Tsarist Russia declared war. As for what the reaction was, it was not something that he, an ambassador, could know now. I guess he didn't even know the bearded himself.

Although the Russians were unhappy that the Japanese reported in advance that they had declared war on the Nanjing central government, this was just one or two days earlier.

On the day when the Tsarist Russian army drove into Heilongjiang from the Far East, Moscow hesitated to declare war on the Nanjing central government. This is the domineering spirit of imperialism. I will fight whoever I want. If your Nanjing government wants to fight, there are a series of warlords and Japanese soldiers in the middle to block it first. The European giant Napoleon all sank the halberds and broken sand on the territory of the empire. Can you, a warlord in Nanjing, be even more powerful than Napoleon?

One fights two fights, and it’s impossible to say that you can let you go if you don’t declare war on others. After receiving the news from the consul of Tsarist Russia, Nanjing declared war on Tsarist Russia while expelling Tsarist Russian diplomats. Anyway, the General Staff also analyzed that Tsarist Russia’s sending troops just to act and would not really sell the Japanese to death. Besides, Tsarist Russia’s economic conditions do not allow it to send too much troops in Asia, especially East Asia. At that time, everyone thought it was not a good thing for Tsarist Russia to intervene in the Three Emperors, and this just verified this prophecy.

However, there are still some benefits before the principal. Tsarist Russia has been operating in China for a long time, and although there are not as many factories and mines as in the three northeastern provinces, there are still some. When the two countries declared war, the unlucky thing was that these merchants and industrial and mining owners who invested in China were explicitly confiscated by the Nanjing Central Government and sent to the public concession.

The busiest person at this time was Xiaomouzi. Xiaomouzi had already convened a think tank to discuss it in Berlin after receiving a report from Ambassador to China Todman.

A group of heads and tongues discussed for two days but did not discuss a result. Instead, they made the mustache's head a big fuss. In short, the think tank summarized the following points.

First, the Tsarist Russian Empire's ambition to expand its territory would not disappear because it occupied an Asia's largest country. Europe is their focus.

Second, Germany is really not ready to resist Tsarist Russia now.

Third, considering that Tsarist Russia is not ready in Asia at this time, our allies should be at ease for the time being. Even if there is no room for space, the chance of Germany sending troops to Asia is almost zero.

Fourth, Tsarist Russia's military operation will surely cause uneasiness to some countries, especially small Eastern European countries. Whether or not they declare war or not, there is no better opportunity than to negotiate a merger with Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia at this time to form the Great German Empire.

Fifth, if we lose our current largest market and raw material production, the German economy will stagnate.

When Tsarist Russia really declared war, Xiaowangbang away a series of think tanks and left Ball, and asked: "What do you think if we declare war on Tsarist Russia but don't send troops? You see, our two countries do not have borders after all, right?"

Ball understood this, and his beard wanted to make soy sauce again, but Tsarist Russia is not a traditional soy sauce party member. Ball replied: "If we declare war on Russia, it is very likely that Russia will invade Poland when the time is right to achieve the goal of bordering us. After all, their focus of expansion has been in Europe. The Tsarist Russian Empire has made plans to attack Poland countless times. This level of two-front battle is nothing to the Tsarist Russian Empire."

This time, even the bearded man was angry. He raised his beard and slapped the table and said, "The Slavs bullied people too much. Poland has been an inseparable part of my great German empire since ancient times."

"That's right, but in fact, whoever has the biggest fist is who owns it."

The mustache thought for a while and asked, "If Russia invades Poland, what will happen to France and Britain?"

Ball thought for a moment: "It's probably just reprimand and sanctions. Eastern Europe is not the focus of the work of these two countries."

The mustache asked again: "What if we invade Poland ahead of time? How would they react?"

"It will probably declare war on us, neither France nor Britain want to see a great German empire rising in central Europe."

"Is this the same person's fate? They are not afraid of the rise of the Tsarist Russian Empire to occupy the entire Europe and Central and Western Asia?"

"I think they will only take action when we can't hold on. The Tsarist Russian Empire has long risen in Eastern Europe, but it also has its own difficulties." The difficulties mentioned by Ball also exist. For example, the Tsarist Russian Empire is vast and sparsely populated, and the economy is underdeveloped. The Tsar and the cabinet pockets are always short of money. This destined that they can only rise in Europe through erosion, rather than conquering Europe in one battle.

The bearded man pondered for a long time and said, "Then declare war. Since we will fight sooner or later, we might as well fight when I am alive. This is a bit more certain. Now the focus of work must be shifted, and the merger with Austria, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia must speed up the progress. At least we must be prepared before Tsarist Russia sends troops to Poland."

After the news of declaring war on Russia came out of Berlin, the happiest thing was not the Nanjing government but the Paris government and the London government.

France and Britain have long been hoping that someone can stand up and curb Tsarist Russia's expansion in Eurasia. However, France and Britain themselves do not want to suffer losses. It is very good to have a strong Germany jump out now.

France and Britain also want to be the oriole here. If Germany is defeated, Tsarist Russia will be defeated half of its blood. The two countries can stand up and clean up the mess and get the greatest benefits. On the contrary, if Tsarist Russia is defeated, Germany will not have much blood left. France and Britain can copy Germany's retreat from behind and force them to surrender unconditionally. These two are really good at fighting.

France and Britain have different interests. Britain's idea is that I am an island country outside Europe. It will not be good for anyone who is stronger on the European continent. However, Britain's army is weak and it is impossible to dominate the European continent, so I will hit anyone who appears. France wants to take advantage of these guys' fights and stand up and dominate the European continent and become the world overlord. There was a chance, but it was defeated by Britain that time. Although Britain did not suffer any benefits in the end, the name European scoundrel was not called in vain.

Chiang Kai-shek himself was also very moved by Germany's declaration of war on Tsarist Russia at the first time. This declaration of war on the Russians is different from declaring war on the Japanese. One is thousands of miles away, and the other is not far away.

The two countries have a feud. This time, the secret telegram from Berlin's beard also came. It said that the current German army is not ready to fight against Tsarist Russia, but the navy can still intercept Tsarist Russia's merchant ships and cargo ships to attack Tsarist Russia's economy.

Although Tsarist Russia also has several fleets, namely the Baltic Fleet, the Far East Pacific Fleet, the Caspian Fleet, the Black Sea Fleet, and the Northern Fleet, its disadvantage is that it is too dispersed - even if it is not dispersed, it is difficult to fight the German Navy with the combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Russian Fleet and the aging and outdated ships.
