In 1914, the United States was the world's largest industrial country, and its GDP was already the world's first, but it was not the world's largest country, not even the top three, Britain, Germany, France, which were recognized as the top three, and even in terms of Europe's influence, Russia was above him. The influence and strength of the country are not judged by who is the first, the influence of this thing, to integrate a lot of things, for the time being, the core of the world is in Europe, the financial center is London, England, Germany and Britain this war, in order to world hegemony, the United States has done everything possible to join the Entente, and even excluded real money troops to Europe, in order to expand the influence of the United States.

In fact, the merits of World War II are a very important aspect of the reason why the United States was able to become a superpower in later generations, but without the penetration of the United States in the whole of Europe after World War I and World War I, it would definitely not work.

In this era, changes have taken place under the emergence of the northwest, and Germany, with the support of the northwest, is too strong, and on top of the army, with its own strength, it is almost pressing Britain and France to fight, if Britain and France cannot support it, after Germany gains hegemony in Europe, the United States will be miserable, and there will be no way to achieve his goal.

The United States joined the European theater faster than in history, especially when the many meat grinder battles had not yet begun, and the huge losses of Britain and France made the United States fill in at this time, and the losses were much greater than in history. Otherwise, the problem is serious.

This variable in Russia is something that they did not expect at all. Russia, which can mobilize tens of millions, will drop the chain. After calculation, Russia has lost at least 4 million since the outbreak of the war, but he is still able to mobilize 3 million, or even more, which shows how terrible Russia is. The United States can compare the mobilization capabilities of the United States to Russia, which has always been a source of pride for the United States.

After coming to Europe, the United States realized that this was not the case at all, the pride of the Americans, in the face of a round of attacks by the German army, could not be supported, and soldiers who were not familiar with the European battlefield simply did not have the ability to survive in the meat grinder battlefield. Even if you experience it and have the strength, it's just a little more time to live, and the meat grinder is a meat grinder. It's because he doesn't take human life seriously.

The United States is also very helpless, and the United States has joined the war in Europe in order to improve its status. But the war situation in Europe was far more tragic than they imagined. After the arrival of a strong United States, it can almost only become. The existence of cannon fodder, the previous encounter with the division, woke up the Americans, and then, did not enter the main battlefield, but the grinding plate-like war situation still caused heavy losses to the United States, in just a few months, at least 500,000 people were lost, which is much more than the previous domestic turmoil in the United States.

If only the Americans lost, the Americans would be very angry, but relative to the main battlefield, Britain and France are more than a million losses, it can be seen that the tragedy of the war, he also really came into contact with the strength of the German Army, no wonder the British and French defeated the army, the three of them totaled almost 3 million losses, the Germans on the other side, the loss was only less than 1 million, and the loss ratio of 1:3 allowed Germany to hold on even if it relied on itself.

It is precisely because of this lesson that the Americans know that in the face of such a battlefield, the 3 million troops hastily recruited by Russia are useless at all, and they are absolute cannon fodder, but what should be given still has to be given, and the United States cannot afford the joint pressure of Britain and France, nor can it afford the consequences of the Entente losing Russia, so what should be given must be given.

In the case of Britain and France, the British specifically mentioned the importance of Russia, and it was necessary to prevent Russia from falling in the direction of the allies. Isn't this a scoundrel, using this to blackmail is really a child's play with the treaty.

The tough attitude of Britain and France, coupled with the threat of Russia's withdrawal, finally formed a joint force, so that the United States reluctantly agreed, who let now, only the United States have this spare strength and leisure, and the United States has proposed the Lend-Lease Act, which is good in itself, and it may be how many of the entire Britain and France combined, and the number of tens of millions of troops has been held to death, it is really dead, and the war is over.

But this is the case between countries, now Britain and France have no leisure, at most part of the funds, in fact, it is not funds, but only the cancellation of the arrears of Russia, so that Russia's finances have been reduced a little to a negative extent, and the real money is borne by the United States.

The initial hesitation of the United States, under the promotion of the major consortia in the United States, the development of the Lend-Lease Act is in full swing, as far as the Lend-Lease Act is concerned, the U.S. government has lost a lot of money, but the consortiums are full, and the Lend-Lease to Russia is very risky, the Russian government has long been insolvent, but the focus of the consortium's activities is on the other side, the tsar from hundreds of years ago, is the richest family in the whole of Europe, just gold is as high as 10 billion US dollars, There are also all kinds of precious cultural relics of various periods in Russia, these things are wealth, I am really afraid that Russia will not be able to pay it back, this era, but the naked law of the jungle, if Russia really wants to rely on this money, they will really not be soft.

Britain, France and the United States are considered to be the big countries of this era, they saw a lot of things, but they didn't see that the revolution that Russia might trigger, the Soviet power at that time, almost didn't think about anything, it really fell on it, during the First World War, and even earlier during the Russo-Japanese War, the funds lent to Russia by various countries were wasted, but fortunately, at that time, Russia owed more to France and less to other countries, which did not cause turmoil, but later, in the interference of various countries in the Soviet Union, France was dominant.

In this era, since the beginning of the Lend-Lease Act, Russia has owed $1 billion in foreign debt to the United States, and this figure is still increasing, according to the evaluation of Russia by major American consortiums, not to mention a country as big as Russia, just say that the wealth of the tsar himself is about $20 billion, and according to half, Russia can afford at least $10 billion.

Britain and France as guarantees, the United States quickly issued a Lend-Lease bill, another billion dollars of arms took shape in factories, and began to send military supplies to Russia.

Although Britain has a tough attitude and supports Russia, but the British side really wants to cry without tears, the former European steamroller, the famous Russia, has really become a rookie who everyone sees, in Europe, abused by Germany, in Asia, and abused by China, in the degree of abuse, Asia is more powerful than Europe, the million army in 1911, the loss of nearly one million, this time, simply more than one million, is it possible that these troops are all paper paste, and that Chita, even the British know some, Chita has been operated by Russia for hundreds of years, and since the 18th century, it has been attacking the important cities of East Asia, such a city, how long has it been, and it has guarded so many troops, saying that it was captured and captured.

The erosion of the Far East, the alliance between Japan and Russia, should have caused trouble for China, and in the minds of the British, the combined forces of the two countries, with a total strength of up to 5 million, would at least leave China with no leisure to pay attention to other things.

In fact, it was good at the beginning, Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Northeast China, three aspects involved China's millions, or even more troops, and even among the things spread by the Japanese, it is very likely to break through the defense line of the Yalu River and wreak havoc on the entire Northeast of China, as for Russia, it has already been put into action, and the million-strong army has entered the Forte of Mongolia, as long as it breaks through Mongolia, it is not far from the northwest core, even if it does not seek the core, just Mongolia, it is enough to make China suffer a huge blow.

But the situation suddenly changed, the next development of things was not at all like this, no one expected that the Japanese would brag, even Russia's million-strong army, also stepped into the trap of the Chinese, the million-strong army was wiped out, even the military town Chita fell, compared to Russia, British soldiers are more professional and easy to judge, the situation in the Russian Far East, as long as Chita and the trading city are in the hands of the Chinese, the initiative of the war is not in their hands.

For a time, the British Foreign Office and the Prime Minister had a false impression that it was a mistake to draw Russia into the camp of the Entente countries, and since the outbreak of the European war, Russia not only did not play any role, but helped countless people.

But the mistake has already been formed, with the close relationship between Germany and China, if China defeats Russia and takes the whole of Siberia, Germany may change direction and attack Russia from the European part, even if it can't defeat the whole of Russia, Germany and China after the Russian division, with the strength of the two armies, with China's huge population resources, plus construction capabilities, expand the Trans-Siberian Railway, and form a real lifeline by land, when the time comes, the Entente will really be in trouble. No matter how powerful the United States is, it does not border with Europe, and there is a vast Atlantic Ocean in between.

Broke his teeth and swallowed it in his mouth, this is the bad thing about the alliance, Russia that has been allied was expelled from the alliance, there is no way, God knows if it will defect to the Central Powers, although Russia's strength is still much inferior to Germany, but compared to countries like Turkey, Italy, and even Austria-Hungary, it is still a lot stronger, so down, the war situation in Europe is really going to end, and when the time comes, there has always been a tendency to join the camp of the Allies, For the Allies to be truly united in Europe and Asia, the world pattern will be fixed, and Britain will have to make compromises for the sake of this.
