Britain, France, and Russia formed the Entente, although the only true military alliance was the Franco-Russian alliance between France and Russia. www.biquge.info However, it is foreseeable that once war breaks out, the British will certainly not sit idly by. If France and Russia were defeated by the Allies, the British would not be able to stand alone. When the time comes, they will only be able to compromise with the Allies, and perhaps be destroyed.

Therefore, once the war broke out, it would evolve into a large-scale war between the Entente and the Central Powers, which seemed to be irreversible. A large-scale war seems to be brewing. The day of the end of peace seems to be getting closer and closer.

The establishment of the Entente also caused the world to form two opposing military and political blocs, which made the pattern of Europe and even the whole world more turbulent.

As the leader of the Central Powers, Germany naturally bore the brunt of the influence on the establishment of the Entente. Everyone knows that the war seems to be one step closer to them.

Wilhelm II convened an emergency meeting in the palace, which was attended by senior military and political officials of the empire, as well as Qin Tian, who had become the crown prince of the empire.

As soon as he walked into Wilhelm II's office, Qin Tian felt a solemn atmosphere, and all the ministers had worried expressions on their faces. Everyone has some worries about the current international situation.

Once everyone had arrived, the Imperial Council officially began. Wilhelm II glanced at everyone, and then said: "Gentlemen, the British and the Russians, have hooked up. Plus the previous agreement between the British and the French, as well as France and Russia, which were originally part of the military alliance. As a result, Britain, France, and Russia have formed a military alliance, a military alliance against the Empire. Now that the international situation has become more and more dangerous for the Empire, what should the Empire do to be able to cope with the pressure of the enemy? ”

Even if Wilhelm II was rigid and conceited. But this time, he also felt a lot of pressure. He had always had a slight illusion about the British, that even if there was a war, the British would not get involved in the war. But now it seems that as the British got closer and closer to France and Russia, the slightest illusion in his heart was gradually thrown away. After all, the British were on the verge of putting their bayonets on his chest, and if he continued to have illusions, wouldn't he be too stupid?

"Your Majesty, the union of Britain, France, and Russia is something we have long anticipated. Although, this makes the international environment in which the empire finds itself even worse. However, the empire has been preparing for this. As long as the empire continues to grow, we may not lose. Moltke spoke first. Although Qin Tian has been the crown prince for more than half a year, he still has no chance to move Moltke. At least, as long as Wilhelm II can still be trusted, Moltke's position as chief of the general staff is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Wilhelm II nodded, then looked at the other ministers.

"Your Majesty, the alliance of Great Britain, France, and Russia poses a great threat not only to the Empire, but also to Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Italy. I think that under the threat of an alliance between Britain, France, and Russia, the Allies will be more united within themselves. And this, perhaps, is a good thing. "Prime Minister Bernhardt? Feng? Billo said.

Although the Triple Alliance has been established for more than 20 years, there are contradictions among the three member states. In particular, the contradictions between Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Italy made this military alliance exist in name only, and there was not much centripetal force at all. If the three member states can be united, even if they are not as good as Britain, France and Russia, the gap is quite limited. If there is a fight, it will be very difficult to say whether the winner will be lost.

"Father, I think we should be careful with the Kingdom of Italy. It is well known that the contradictions between the Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were very acute. Although, the empire has been trying to reconcile. But if Britain, France, and Russia had offered better terms to Italy, the Italians would have betrayed us. So, we had to guard against this, so as not to be stabbed in the back by the Italians after the outbreak of war. Qin Tian reminded. As a latecomer, he certainly knew how the Italians fared in World War I.

In another time and space, after the outbreak of World War I, the Italians tried every means to delay, refused to fulfill the obligations of the Alliance, and fought between the Central and Entente powers. Waiting for the Allies and the Entente to make an offer. In the end, the Entente seemed to be able to give Italy more benefits. Therefore, the Italians immediately betrayed the Central Powers without hesitation, turned to the Entente, and went to war against Germany and Austria-Hungary.

However, the Italians did too badly in the war, and hundreds of thousands of people attacked Austria-Hungary, although they won the initial victory. However, after Germany sent a part of its troops to assist Austria-Hungary, it was quickly blocked at the border, unable to advance a single step, and was even defeated by Germany and Austria-Hungary.

Therefore, in the war, Italy is simply a pig teammate, specializing in pit its own teammates.

"Your Royal Highness, there is an alliance between us and the Italians. The Covenant is sacred, and the Italians should not tear it up easily, right? "Foreign Minister Feng? Kidren? Vahit asked.

"The covenant is indeed sacred. However, there has never been a true friend between countries, and there are only eternal interests. We and the Italians have formed an alliance because of common interests. As soon as the Entente gives more benefits than we give, the Italians will inevitably betray us. I have no doubt about it! Qin Tian said with an affirmative expression.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests!" Marshal Count Tirpitz agreed.

Even Wilhelm II nodded his head again and again.

"What's more, ladies and gentlemen, I have also heard that the greatest function of the covenant is to tear it up. It is almost impossible to bind the allies with a paper covenant. Interests, only by eternal interests, can unite allies. There were common interests between the empire and Austria-Hungary, so Austria-Hungary had always looked to the empire. But the Kingdom of Italy? Unfortunately, I really can't see that. On the contrary, the Italians in the colonies of North Africa had a tacit understanding with Britain, France and Russia. In the Adriatic, however, the conflict with Austria-Hungary was very obvious. Qin Tian continued.
