    Just as the United States' entry into the war in April 1917 changed the balance of power and the direction of the war, sixteen months later in September 1918, the Sino-Japanese alliance and the United States, the largest supporter behind it, announced their response to the Samara Peace Initiative and demanded  The participating countries stopped the war and started equal negotiations to solve the problems that the war could not solve. This ground-breaking policy change once again changed the course of history.

    For the United States, the huge cost of casualties in the European battlefield, especially the Western Front battlefield, is something that all American people are unwilling to bear. The isolationism in the United States has now transformed into a pacifism that defends peace, while the Sino-Japanese alliance is much more direct.  , in a word, the family has a weak foundation and cannot afford to fight a war with hundreds of thousands of casualties. On the Ukrainian battlefield, the Germans only invested six second-line infantry divisions and beat the Eastern Front Allied Forces with equal strength and even greater firepower.  , neither the Japanese government nor the Chinese government can sit back and watch the hundreds of thousands of elite troops they have saved up through hard work be consumed by the German meat grinder on the Eastern Front!

    The Germans are of course happy to see the results. No matter how the situation after the United States enters the war is reversed, Germany will not be able to fight the entire world and win with the power of one country. The majestic German Ace Flying Wing was actually shot by newborn calves over Ukraine on the Eastern Front.  The Chinese Air Force was beaten to the point of being completely wiped out, and the two main German infantry divisions could not stop the assault of a Chinese mixed armored brigade. The opponent was not a tank, but just more than 200 wheeled armored fighting vehicles, but the 12mm caliber  Large-caliber machine guns are simply a nightmare for the German Army!  

    Germany's intelligence collection capabilities are second to none in the entire world. The intelligence of the Central Front Army that the Chinese king had reorganized and assembled more than 10 armies on the Ufa Plain was obtained by Berlin at a huge cost. Six modern infantry armies were also obtained.  Well, the key point is that a large number of new tanks have appeared in the mechanized group army being formed by the Chinese. This is a fatal threat to the German Army. Ludendorff and Hindenburg did not dare to neglect or despise the Chinese armored vehicles.  , machine guns, mortars, fighter jets and even grenades are far more powerful than the German Army, not to mention that the performance of the German Air Force aircraft in the sky is far behind. Even the opponent's 37mm anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns are insurmountable.  exist!

    Thanks to the fact that the rise of the Chinese is still short, the industrial base is still weak, and the production and transportation capabilities are insufficient. Otherwise, the German and Austrian Allies fighting on two fronts will face an unpredictable crisis. Fortunately, the Sino-Japanese Alliance expanded too quickly on the Eastern Front.  It is difficult to smoothly digest so much territory of the former Tsarist Russia, and the Asian yellow-skinned monkeys with weak family background are unwilling to consume their elite troops for the British and French on the Western Front. They seize the time to take advantage of the short-term victory on the Western Front and seek to sit down.  Negotiation and an honorable end to the war is Germany's best option!

    The armistice initiative initiated by the Volga Federation finally received the response of the British and French governments on September 18, 1918. The gunfire on the Western Front battlefield finally stopped. The Germans were very confident and single. A week later, on all sides, on all sides,  On the same day that the negotiating delegation arrived in Paris, France, a large-scale withdrawal of troops from the front line began. Trains and cars pulled the main German army back to the western border between the two sides before the war in 1914

    The only thing that Britain and France can comfort themselves with is that this time the Germans did not break their promise and took the initiative to withdraw their troops before the negotiations began. Of course, the Germans were not polite when they retreated. 30 kilometers west to north from Paris, everything that can be demolished  Factory equipment and captured artillery, machine guns and tanks were shipped back to Germany!

    No one expected that the armistice negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference, which started on September 25, 1918, would last for three months like a marathon. More than 1,000 representatives from various countries participated in the Paris Peace Conference, including 70 plenipotentiaries.  people, later changed to the "Conference of Seven", namely, US President Wilson, British Prime Minister Lloyd George, French Prime Minister Clemenceau, German Prime Minister Prince of Baden, Chinese Prime Minister Duan Qirui, Japanese Prime Minister Masaki Terauchi,  Head of the Volga Federation Wang Geng.

    In fact, the people who led the meeting were the President of the United States, the Head of the Volga Federation, and the Prince of Germany. The British Prime Minister and the French Prime Minister were the most energetic, loud, and fierce but inner-hearted guys. As for Duan Qirui, he had the right to be cheerful all day long.  When it comes to visiting relatives and making friends, Japan's Prime Minister in the temple plays the role of Duan Qirui's little follower.

    On Christmas Day 1918, the three-month Paris Peace Conference ended. The Allies and the Entente concluded the Treaty of Versailles. Britain gained the Arabian Peninsula, France maintained its colonies in Africa, and the Volga Federation replaced the original Tsarist Russian Empire.  Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Belarus, Western Ukraine, Georgia, and Azerbaijan have all become duli countries, but there is a three-year buffer period. After three years, a referendum will be held to decide whether these new duli countries will maintain duli or choose to  Join the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Volga Federation!

    It is worth mentioning that the Belarusian Soviet regime, which adheres to Bolshevism, won the Entente through the mediation of the Volga Federation.?The recognition of the ? camp, Ulyanov and his comrades must ensure not to export their doctrine and revolution to countries outside Belarus, otherwise, there will be consequences at their own risk!

    The future of Belarus, with a population of 8 million and a territory of 200,000 square kilometers, will be determined by a local referendum in five years. In other words, Ulyanov and his Bolsheviks have 5 years to consolidate power, or  Overthrown by the people Although the surrounding neighbors look smaller than Belarus, behind them are either the German Empire or the Volga Federation. The life of the Soviets is not that easy!

    This battlefield destroyed the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and greatly weakened the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, Czech Hungary finally remained in the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Turkish Empire was no longer as majestic as it once was, and there were a lot of emerging countries in the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa.  The small desert country declared duli, of course, behind the manipulation of Britain and France.

    The French were undoubtedly the biggest losers in this war that lasted for four years. The United States, as the largest creditor of Britain and France, now had two more followers who had to obey even if they did not obey. Although the British still relied on their maritime power and huge colonies to  Duli maintains his aloofness, but the pressure of owing so many foreign war debts is definitely not light.

    The Sino-Japanese Alliance is the biggest winner of this war. It entered the war last, developed fastest, and paid the smallest price. The Volga Federation is a duli sovereign country in name, but its head of state is the King of China. Although this emerging country advertises itself as a republic and a republic, it adopts  It is indeed the military duc¨¢i system, but the people's lives are much better than before. The "357 Rent Reduction Regulations" and the "Federal Land Act" have quickly stabilized social order, and all ethnic groups in the federation are equal.  Principles made this emerging country very cohesive

    The carrot is of course not the only bargaining chip. The Bundeswehr, the National Guard, the Federal Security Service and the local governments at all levels, which are mainly demobilized soldiers, have built a new empire. The Western Siberian Autonomous Republic east of the Ural Mountains remains  existence, this is also a colony assigned to Japan in the Sino-Japanese Alliance. As for Japan, although dissatisfaction with Japan's gradual influence after the China-Japan Alliance has been heard from time to time, absolutely no one dares to stand up and challenge the powerful  Neighbor¡­¡­

    The only consolation for Japan is that China does not plan to vigorously develop its navy. The land and air force are still China's development direction, and the task of building a powerful navy has become the only expectation and goal of Japan's entire country!

    Because Wang Geng chose to stay in the Volga Federation as head of state, his father-in-law Duan Qirui became the president of the Republic of China, and Xu Shuzheng became the new prime minister of the cabinet as expected, and the Southern Party became the second largest party in the parliament.  , the largest party was the National Unity Party representing the participating military system and the New Beiyang. Duan Qirui became the lifelong honorary party leader, Xu Shuzheng became the party leader, Feng Guozhang became the speaker of the Senate, and Sun Dapao became the speaker of the House of Representatives.

    The size of China's participating armies has always remained at 1 million. It also has 3,000 fighter planes and an air force of more than 100,000 people. The navy is a shortcoming. Fortunately, the construction speed of Japan's navy is very fast, which also exhausts Japan's national power.  , making Japan's dependence on the China-Japan alliance not only not reduced, but even higher.

    On the night of January 28, 1919, a meteor that was several times less powerful than the Tunguska explosion broke through the atmosphere and roared towards the land of Siberia. In the snowy and frozen world, the locomotive of a luxury train on the Trans-Siberian Railway was destroyed.  The meteor shower concentrated and exploded The locomotive was wiped out in the huge explosion The carriages were also thrown off the rails and squeezed into steel braids

    The head of the Volga Federation who returned to China from the Volga River, the founder of the Chinese Participating Army and the Sino-Japanese Alliance, and the founder of the dawn of peace in World War I, the King of China, mysteriously disappeared in the sudden explosion caused by an alien meteor

    Endless darkness and whirlpools, countless lenses and light and shadows flashing and disappearing in front of my eyes, everything is like a latest black and white silent movie, everything seems to be eternity after eternity in silence Everything seems like a dream but always.  Hard to wake up¡­

    I don¡¯t know how long it has been

    Finally, I opened my eyes, and what I saw was a soft ceiling lamp in the center of the roof. The white light was neither too bright to be dazzling, nor too dark to make people feel deserted and lonely.

    Wang Geng slightly raised his head and glanced around the room. It was obvious that this was an elegant single ward. The Howard clock hanging on the wall opposite the hospital bed was exquisite but not luxurious. The minute and hour hands had just coincided with the Roman numeral xii. In front of the window  Although the delicate gauze curtains are drawn, the flickering of neon lights unique to the big city at night can be vaguely seen through the gaps.

    It¡¯s midnight now?  Big bang, space-time tunnel?  Where am I?  Glancing at the calendar on the bedside table, everything seemed familiar. Looking closer, the latest page on the calendar was clearly visible.Written: February 24, 1917.

    ?????????????????????? It¡¯s actually back to 1917 again?  Where is this?  !  ¡­
