Germany and France were important members of the Central Powers and the Entente, respectively. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoGermany, in particular, was the leader of the Allies. Now that the two countries are looking at each other, the international situation has naturally become very tense. Some pessimists even believe that war is inevitable.

The other members of the Central and Entente powers, in particular, were greatly affected by this. According to the treaty signed at the beginning, once a war breaks out, they will inevitably be involved.

Two allies of Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Italy. Austria-Hungary was determined to fulfill its allies and follow Germany to the Entente. However, the Italians will make plastic bags, I am afraid no one can guarantee what kind of decision they will make.

France's two allies, Russia and France, had signed a treaty of military alliance, and in the event of a war, Russia would certainly enter the war. As for the British, although there was no military alliance treaty, the French were confident that the British would not sit idly by. Otherwise, once France is defeated, it will not only not benefit Britain at all, but will also endanger the hegemony of the British. Therefore, the French have nothing to fear. Otherwise, they would not have dared to treat Germany so hardly.

The disastrous defeat in the Franco-Prussian War was a nightmare for many French people. In France, it was also divided into two factions, one wanted revenge, and wanted to defeat Germany in the future war. On the other hand, they tried to avoid war. It's just that now the French government is clearly the main war faction that has the upper hand.

In the face of the increasingly fierce conflict between France and Germany, the British side also felt tricky. Prime Minister Asquith convened the members of the Cabinet to discuss countermeasures. The current situation is also tense for the UK. So that these high-ranking officials of the British Empire had to be cautious.

"Tell me, gentlemen, will the French and the Germans fight for Morocco this time?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.

You know, six years ago, Kaiser Wilhelm II visited Morocco, which caused considerable dissatisfaction among the French. They almost went to war because of this, dragging the whole world into the war.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the current situation is difficult to say. The attitude of the Germans is very tough. Of course, the attitude of the French side is also very tough. They all showed their determination to fight at any cost. If the situation continues to be further planned, the possibility of war breaking out is undoubtedly very high. "Foreign Secretary Edward? Sir Grey's face was worried.

"Hell, the Germans know how to mess up!" Secretary of the Navy McKenna scolded. The current Royal Navy is developing at a high speed. However, building a battleship is not a simple matter, it usually takes two to three years. Therefore, it will take a long time for the strength of the Royal Navy to develop in a blowout. During this time, the Royal Navy was supposed to avoid getting involved in the war.

As the Lord of the Navy, McKenna is undoubtedly under great pressure, and the Royal Navy, which has not been defeated for hundreds of years, will definitely not be able to lose in future wars. Otherwise, his name would have been passed down forever as a disgrace to the Royal Navy. McKenna, I don't want that.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, let the French compromise a little. After all, the French would not have dared to provoke the Germans without our support. Even if they and the Russians combined, it would be very difficult to defeat Germany. "Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd's? George suggested.

"No, it's absolutely not going to work!" Before Prime Minister Asquith could speak, Home Secretary Winston Churchill jumped out.

"France is an important ally of ours, and in the event of a war with Germany in the future, France will be the main ground force against Germany. The British Empire's land forces, neither in size nor strength, could compete with the Germans, and we had to rely on the French. So, in such a situation, we must unconditionally support France and let them see our sincerity. In this way, in the future war, the French will cooperate closely with us. Churchill said.

The ministers of the British Cabinet nodded one after another. They also all believe that in the present situation, the outbreak of war in the future is almost a foregone conclusion. I just don't know when the war will break out. France, on the other hand, 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 must not compromise with the Germans, otherwise the Germans will think that we are afraid of them, and will further gain an inch. So, we have to be tough. Only in this way will we be able to deter the Germans and buy us more time. Churchill continued.

"Your Excellency Churchill is right when he says that we cannot compromise with the Germans!" Prime Minister Asquith said.

"Your Excellency, what if war really breaks out because of this?" Edward? Sir Grey asked.

"If war breaks out because of this, I believe that the British Empire will also have enough strength to deal with it and win it." Prime Minister Asquith said. His attitude is undoubtedly resolute.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, although many warships in the Navy are still under construction. However, in the event of war, the Royal Navy was confident that it would defeat the Germans. McKenna said.

Prime Minister Asquith nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with the Navy's statement.

The British government has been very tough on the Moroccan crisis. They openly preached that the French actions in Morocco were an act of justice and demanded that Germany exercise restraint and withdraw the battleships.

At the same time, the British Royal Navy sent a light cruiser and a destroyer from Gibraltar to Morocco to show support for France.

The support of the British side made the French more confident. They said that on the Moroccan issue, there will be absolutely no backing down. If Germany wanted to go to war, they would not hesitate to fight for it.

Under such circumstances, Germany had to consider whether to go to war at this time. The Entente showed their support for France in solidarity on this issue. Germany's allies, however, were not so united. While Austria-Hungary expressed its support for Germany, the Kingdom of Italy called for restraint on both sides. This makes the situation more and more unfavorable for Germany.

With no choice, Germany could only choose to compromise for the time being, take a step back, and then look for an opportunity.
