The British did intend to take the German Far Eastern colonies under their control at first, and the British were able to do so, and just as the Australian and New Zealand armies were preparing to attack the German colonies, the orders from the overlords came down to pack their backpacks and sit on ships ahead of Europe, rather than attacking German Guinea and the Mariana Islands, which were close at hand. This makes many people feel incomprehensible, and even Britain itself doubts whether there is a "moral traitor" in Britain. Only a very small number of core personnel know the significance of this move.

Britain and France have always wanted to pull the United States to their side. I don't know if the Spanish-American War scared the United States, or for some other reason, the United States did not show much interest in joining the Entente camp, not only the American people were indifferent to the great war in Europe, but even the US government and capitalists also said that there was no problem in continuing to provide materials and armaments to the Entente countries, but it was better to directly participate in the war.

Has the United States really decided not to go to war? Or is it true that the US top brass is indifferent to the situation in Europe and only cares about money? Apparently not...... The United States did not immediately enter the war, but waited for an opportunity, an opportunity to exchange the maximum benefit for the minimum cost. The icing on the cake and charcoal in the snow are definitely not the same concept, now that the British and French are in full combat power, let them fight to the death with the Germans first, and when the two sides are about to die, how good it would be for the Americans to join the battle as saviors! Save effort and get the most out of it! When the time comes, the United States can take a good look at the bamboo pole ......... the British Empire.

Another point is that the Americans are far from being ready for war, let alone general mobilization, the US government does not even have an excuse to persuade Congress to mobilize, and Germany is still very restrained in fighting before it has launched an unrestricted submarine war without regard for the reaction of the whole world, as it has done in history. I really don't fight when I run into an American ship. Therefore, the American society really does not care much about this war, and even if it is mobilized, it will take a long time for you to expand the current US military to several million people. Then they took the weapons provided by the French and fought the Germans. At this time, the mobilization ability of the US imperialists and the US imperialism during the two wars in history is obviously incomparable, and the United States is a tiger in terms of national strength, but the combat effectiveness of the army can only be described as a kitten, at least at this stage.

The American Army is not good, but it does not mean that the Navy is not good, this is not until now, the Americans have 6 super dreadnoughts equipped with 14-inch naval guns and several dreadnoughts, as well as a large number of former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers. If you look at this navy only in terms of tonnage, it is definitely the third in the world, which is higher than the tonnage of the Huaxia Navy. This force seemed absolutely important to the Entente powers, which were extremely dependent on maritime transport. Just before the Italian Navy entered the war. The British tried their best to encourage the Americans to take their side as soon as possible. And the German Far Eastern colonies were a ......... of benefits that the British threw at the Americans.

The British are very much like they have taken this place under their control. But all the same. The Americans also want to create a stable point of support in the Far East. Although they lost the fight against Spain that year, the Americans believed that it was the result of the strong support of Spain by European countries. From the bottom of their hearts, Americans do not admit defeat. However, the consequences of the Spanish-American War were still very serious, and it disrupted the pace and strategy of the US Navy's military expansion. The Americans want to control the whole of America. For now, it seems almost material, but the United States' attempt to project its military power on the other side of the ocean has become out of reach, because in the Far East, an exceptionally powerful country has risen and taken advantage of two foreign wars to take control of most of the Dutch East Indies. The powerful Chinese fleet and geographical superiority made the Americans sigh. …。

This time, the outbreak of the world war gave the Americans a chance, and the German Far Eastern colonies were destined to be occupied by the British soon after the start of the war due to geographical limitations and strength. And the British have no strategy, and the background of this is intriguing. Just when the whole world was speculating about what game was playing in the belly of the British. The British ambassador to the United States has solved the mystery. In order to show the British government's friendship with the United States, the British were willing to "give" the German Far Eastern colonies to the United States. But there is a demand that the United States must be allowed to take it by itself! …。

The British did this for a purpose, as long as the boots of American GIs landed in the German colonies, then it meant that the United States was finally on the side of the Entente. But the Americans are not stupid either. Just a few islands let the United States be a thug for the Entente? Wilson isn't that stupid. The United States would never go to war and fight the Germans because of the small favors of the British. The United States intends to wait...... Wait until the British have a lot of benefits and beg for their help.

And while Britain and the United States were making their own calculations, the Huaxia Republic, as the hegemon of the Far East, was also calculating the gains and losses of interests. After the German Far East Fleet withdrew to the Middle East, Xu Jie did not once look at the map and weigh it carefully. This was especially uneasy when it became known that the British intended to "give" the place to the Americans. To tell the truth, the strategic location of both German Guinea and the Mariana Islands is very important, and they will be China's defense against the penetration of American power. The United States failed to get the Philippines as it did historically. But if these two places are occupied, then the United States will also have a foothold in the Far East. This is something Xu Jie absolutely does not want to see.

On a deeper level, if the United States occupies this area and the Allies fail, as they have historically done, then Britain's Australia and American-controlled Marianas will be united, and Britain and the United States, after emerging from the crisis in Europe, will certainly unite to contain China in the Asia-Pacific region. The outcome of the war in Europe is still unclear, but in order to prevent such a situation from happening, Xu Jie believes that it is necessary to prevent the Americans from entering the Far East! …。

But not now. Because Huaxia does not have a suitable excuse, and Xu Jie still needs to take a good look at the scale, although Huaxia has updated its capital ships in recent years, the core construction of Huaxia's military force is still the army, after all, dealing with the collapse of Tsarist Russia is Huaxia's top task. Fighting but not breaking, it is the best choice for Americans to retreat in the face of difficulties! Just when Xu Jie was at a loss, the German ambassador to Huaxia came to the door! And he came with the Kaiser's mandate!
