Germany and France are important members of Allied Powers and Allied Powers respectively. Especially Germany is the leader of Allied Powers. Now that the two countries are at war with each other, the international situation has naturally become very tense. Some pessimistic people even believe that war is inevitable.
Especially the other members of Allied Powers and Allied Powers were greatly affected by this. According to the treaty originally signed, if a war breaks out, they will inevitably be involved.
Two allies of Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Kingdom of Italy. Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely become an ally and follow Germany to start a war with Allied Powers. However, no one can guarantee what kind of decision they will make regarding Italy Renshe Plastic Bags.
France's two allies, Russia and France, have signed a military alliance treaty. Once a war breaks out, Russia will definitely join the war. As for the British, although they did not sign a military alliance treaty, the French confidently believed that the British would not sit idly by. Otherwise, once France is defeated, not only will it not be of any benefit to Britain, but it will also endanger the British hegemony. Therefore, the French are confident. Otherwise, they would not dare to treat Germany so toughly.
The disastrous defeat of Franco-Prussian War was a nightmare for many French. France is also divided into two factions. One faction wants Vengeance and wants to defeat Germany in future wars and avenge its past humiliation. The other faction tried their best to avoid war. However, now French government is clearly the main battle group that has the upper hand.
Facing the increasingly fierce conflict between France and Germany, Britain also feels troubled. Prime Minister Asquith convened the members of Cabinet to discuss countermeasures. The current situation is also very tense for Britain. These senior officials of the British Empire had to be cautious.
"Gentlemen, tell me, will French and Germany fight over Morocco this time?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.
You know, six years ago, German Emperor Wilhelm II visited Morocco, which caused considerable dissatisfaction from French. They almost broke out a war because of this and dragged the whole world into the war.
"Prime Minister, it's hard to tell about the current situation. Germany people's attitude is very tough. Of course, the French side's attitude is also very tough. They have shown their determination not to hesitate to fight. If the situation continues as planned, the possibility of a war is undoubtedly very high." Foreign Minister Edward Sir Gray looked worried.
"Hell, Germany people know how to cause trouble!" First Sea Lord McKenna cursed. Now Royal Navy is developing at a high speed. However, building a Battleship is not a simple matter and usually takes two to three years. Therefore, it will take a long time for Royal Navy's strength to develop explosively. During this period of time, Royal Navy should avoid being involved in the war.
As First Sea Lord, McKenna is undoubtedly under great pressure. Royal Navy, which has not been defeated for hundreds of years, will never fail in the future war. Otherwise, his name will be passed down forever as a shame to Royal Navy. McKenna, I don't want that to happen.
"Prime Minister, otherwise, let French compromise a little. After all, without our support, French would not dare to provoke Germany Human. Even if they and Russians are combined, it will be very difficult to defeat Germany," Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd? George suggested.
"No, this is absolutely not possible!" Before Prime Minister Asquith could speak, Home Secretary Churchill jumped out.
"France is our important ally. If there is a war with Germany in the future, France will be the main ground force to deal with Germany. British Empire's army, whether in size or strength, cannot compete with the Germany people. We must We have to rely on French. Therefore, in this case, we must support France unconditionally and let them see our sincerity. In this way, French will cooperate closely with us in future wars." Churchill said.
British Cabinet's ministers all nodded. They also believe that under the current circumstances, the outbreak of war in the future is almost a certainty. I just don't know when exactly the war will break out. France is an important ally of Britain. Therefore, for the sake of the future situation, it is very necessary to support France.
"There is another reason, that is, we cannot compromise with the Germany people. Otherwise, the Germany people will think that we are afraid of them and will make further advances. Therefore, we must be tough. Only in this way can we deter the Germany people and buy us more time." Churchill continued.
"What Mr. Churchill said is correct, we cannot compromise with Germany people!" Prime Minister Asquith said.
"Prime Minister, what if the war really breaks out because of this?" Edward Sir Gray asked.
"If a war breaks out because of this, I believe British Empire will have enough strength to cope with the war and win the war." Prime Minister Asquith said. His attitude is undoubtedly very firm.
"Prime Minister, although many warships in the navy are still under construction. However, once a war breaks out, Royal Navy is confident that he can defeat the Germany people." McKenna said.
Prime Minister Asquith nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with the navy's statement.
British government acted very tough against Moroccan Crisis this time. They openly publicized that France's actions in Morocco were just acts and asked Germany to exercise restraint and withdraw its warships.
At the same time, British Royal Navy also dispatched a Light Cruiser and a destroyer from Gibraltar to Morocco to express support for France.
The support from Britain makes French more confident. They said they would never back down on the Morocco issue. If Germany wants to start a war, they will not hesitate to fight for it.
Under such circumstances, Germany had to consider whether to start a war at this time. Allied Powers united on this issue and showed support for France. However, Germany's allies are no longer so united. Although Austro-Hungarian Empire expressed support for Germany, Kingdom of Italy called on both parties to exercise restraint. This makes the situation even more unfavorable for Germany.
With no other option, Germany could only choose to compromise temporarily, take a step back first, and then look for opportunities.
