    "Mr. Roosevelt, I have to admit that the United States is a powerful country. It has only been less than two years since the war, but the United States has already emerged from the shadow of the war, begun to slowly regain its strength, and erupted with a formidable force.  Strong national power. And my Russia is still suffering from the torment of war!" said Tsar Nicholas II.  This war and the subsequent rebellion made the always arrogant and conceited Tsar Nicholas II change a lot. He had realized that Russia was not as powerful as he imagined. If he did not want to be destroyed, then he  We can only put down our arrogance and establish relations with other heads of state, preferably forming alliances. Only in this way can Russia, which is under the attack of the Chinese, be able to continue to exist.  Reality always allows people to make the right changes.

    "Your Majesty the Tsar, you have given me the award. It has taken hundreds of years of development for the United States to achieve what it is today. However, the United States' strong industrial strength is only reflected in the commercial field. In the military field, we are still far behind.  Although efforts have been made now, there is still a long way to go before we can defeat that powerful enemy!" Theodore Roosevelt replied.  There is no doubt that the industrial strength of the United States has climbed to the first place in the world.  However, industrial strength is not equal to military strength. The weakness of military strength has caused the United States to suffer a big loss.  China ruthlessly cut off a large piece of flesh from the United States and then used it to develop itself.  Over time, once China has exhausted all the benefits gained from the war.  It will definitely be able to explode with strength that scares the entire world.

    "Mr. Roosevelt. Despicable Chinese. He launched the war just when the United States was not ready. If the original war had broken out not in 1899, but in 1901, perhaps the outcome of the war would have been different.  !¡± Tsar Nicholas II exclaimed.

    Theodore Roosevelt nodded.  If the war could have broken out two years later, the strength of the U.S. Navy would have more than doubled.  In the second Sino-US Pacific naval battle, they would not lose to the Chinese so easily.  Even in the end, it still cannot change the outcome of the war and cannot defeat the Chinese.  After all, the Chinese Navy's local fleet is too powerful, but it can only change the outcome of the United States.  If the U.S. Navy can win, then they will have enough strength to protect the West Coast of the United States from being attacked. The U.S. Army will also have more time to arm itself, and U.S. industry can also be transformed into military strength.  In that case, even China would not dare to land in the United States easily!  Even if hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops land in the United States, the final winner will be.  It may not necessarily be Chinese.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that these are all their subsequent guesses.  Things have happened.  The Chinese became the big winners in the war two years ago and gained enviable benefits.  And with the help of these interests, China will inevitably become stronger and will threaten them again sooner or later.  Whether it is for revenge or self-protection, countries such as the United States and Russia have no choice but to seize the time to develop themselves, and then form alliances to unite against China.  Individual countries are destined to be no match for China.

    "Mr. Roosevelt, I have always thought that those despicable yellow-skinned monkeys are a huge threat to the entire Western world. They are rude, ignorant, ignorant and backward, and do not belong to a civilized race at all. They bring war to the entire world. I  We believe that the entire Western world should unite to deal with those yellow-skinned monkeys!" Nicholas II said.

    "Of course, Your Majesty the Tsar, I completely agree with your point of view. However, the Western world is not monolithic! The Allied Powers, led by Germany, have close relations with China. Without the support of Germany, it would be impossible for the Chinese to develop as they are now.  To a certain extent!" said Theodore Roosevelt.  If several countries can form an alliance to jointly deal with China, this is exactly what he wants.

    "Germans? Those arrogant Germans will pay the price for their ignorance sooner or later. However, although Germany is powerful, they lack resources themselves and do not have many colonies overseas. There is a powerful British navy blocking the North Sea. Germany  It is impossible to threaten the world. As long as we can get rid of those yellow-skinned monkeys, then the whole world will be filled with peace!" Nicholas II said.

    "Yes, that's the case. Although the British Navy failed in the last war, with Britain's foundation, it will not take long for the Navy to regain its strength. It is not a problem at all for the British Navy to blockade Germany. The most important thing now  The trouble is the Chinese. However, I believe the British will not reject our kindness this time!" Theodore Roosevelt said.  The reason why he came in person to attend the funeral of Queen Victoria and the coronation ceremony of the new king Edward VII was because??It is to get benefits from the UK.  In terms of funds, the United States does not lack technology. What they lack is technology.  Although, with the help of the United Kingdom, the construction of the next-level battleship, the 'Connecticut-class' battleship, has begun, this kind of battleship can only rival the Chinese's 'Zhonghua-class' battleship at best.  The Chinese Pacific Fleet now has two 'Zhonghua-class' battleships and two 'Qin-class' battleships.  Even if the U.S. Navy's Connecticut-class battleships will be built six at a time, they still don't have much chance of winning against the Chinese Pacific Fleet.  What's more, before the Panama Canal was opened, the U.S. Navy had to take a detour of more than 20,000 kilometers from South America to the west coast. This gave the Chinese Navy a perfect opportunity to wait for work!  Therefore, the U.S. Navy must build more new battleships. The U.S. Navy's self-designed next-level battleships, the 'Mississippi-class' battleships, and subsequent improved models must obtain more relevant technologies from the United Kingdom.  OK.

    Czar Nicholas II and Theodore Roosevelt had a very pleasant conversation.  Tsar Nicholas II took the opportunity to raise the predicament that Russia was facing to Theodore Roosevelt.  Theodore Roosevelt also assured Czar II that after he became president of the United States, he would definitely provide support to Russia.  In comparison, for the United States, having an ally like Russia threatening China from behind will also make the United States safer.  Helping Russia and letting Russia confront China is very much in the interest of the United States.

    Later, British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour also joined in.  They were all victims of the last war, and they had a common language.  Facing the same enemy, these three countries have involuntarily come together.  Moreover, they are actively preparing to include another victim country, France.  In this case, the four countries will form an alliance, a real alliance, not a loose alliance like the last war.  In this way, we can deal with the threat from China.

    Of course, the actions of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia also alarmed Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy.  Although the United Kingdom has suffered a big fall, it has a strong foundation and is still the world's most powerful country. The United States is the most powerful country in the new industry. Although Russia has declined, the most purified part of Europe is still under control and can  Easily arm millions of troops.  If several countries like this unite, they can have the power to change the entire world.

    Kaiser Wilhelm II secretly made up his mind to draw China into their alliance.  Even if it is related to the leadership of the Allied Powers, China does not need to join the Allied Powers, but Germany must also form an alliance with China, or a secret alliance!

    Soon, February 18th arrived.  On this day, it was Queen Victoria's funeral, and the whole of London was plunged into endless sorrow.  A large number of British people came from all over the UK to see off their respected Majesty the Queen.  It is this queen who has ruled Britain for 64 years and made Britain the most powerful country in the world.

    The Cardinal Archbishop came from the Vatican to preside over Queen Victoria's funeral in person. If the Pope hadn't been too old, he might have come in person.  The funeral was very grand, and almost all the world's most important national leaders were gathered here.  The funeral crowd included the new British King Edward VII, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Tsar Nicholas II, King of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele III, and Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  , King Alfonso XIII of Spain and many more.

    Although Wang Yuze attended the funeral of Queen Victoria, he did not appear among the mourners.  Those attending the funeral were all relatives of Queen Victoria. He and Queen Victoria were not relatives, so there was no need to go to the funeral.  Roosevelt Theodore, the Republican presidential candidate from the United States, also did not go to the funeral of Queen Victoria. Instead, he had a warm conversation with Wang Yuze.  Although Wang Yuze knew that the future President of the United States must hate him to death, he still talked to him with a smile on his face, which made Wang Yuze very proud.  Which of the future U.S. presidents is not a bully?  A hundred years ago, when the United States had not yet become the world's most powerful country, the president of the United States was not a very powerful figure.

    After dealing with Theodore Roosevelt with false affection, Wang Yuze simply returned to the State Guesthouse to accompany his wife.  However, now that the whole of London is immersed in sadness, it is not a good opportunity to visit London.  Otherwise, he would like to take this time to take the queen to visit London.

    The grand funeral lasted for three days before it ended.  After the funeral, the leaders of various countries did not leave. One month later, it was the coronation ceremony of the new British King Edward VII.
