As an ally of the Tsarist Empire, the Gaul State naturally did not sit idly by while the Tsarist Empire mobilized for war and prepared to deal with the impending war.
Moreover, the Gaul state has never forgotten the great vendetta of more than forty years ago.
At that time, the Prussians could be said to have stepped on the shoulders of the Gauls to complete the unification of the country, and became one of the most powerful countries in Europe and even in the whole world.
This is certainly the glory of the Prussians, but it is also the shame of the Gauls.
For so many years, the Gauls have been using the Germanic Empire as an imaginary enemy, and have been trying to develop their military strength in order to one day be able to defeat the Germanic Empire in one fell swoop and avenge the snow. And now for them, the opportunity has undoubtedly come too.
The Germanic Empire was an ally of austria-Hungary, and once war was declared on austria-hungary, the Germanic empire would naturally be involved in the war.
Moreover, the main target of gaul was the Germanic Empire, not the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Gaul did not share a border with austria-hungary, and if it wanted to attack austria-hungary, it would have to attack across the sea.
Moreover, with the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Tsarist Empire alone was enough to deal with them, and there was no need for the Gaul State to do anything. Therefore, the main task of the Gaul state in this war was to deal with the Germanic Empire.
However, the strength of the Gaul State was already much weaker than that of the Germanic Empire. Not only was the industrial strength far inferior to that of the Germanic Empire, but even the population was equivalent to sixty percent of the Germanic Empire.
Of course, Gaul also had vast overseas colonies to supply them with troops. Recruiting overseas colonists into the army is also a tradition in Gaul.
But even so, the gaul state was very worried.
It seems that after the collapse of the First Gallic Empire established by Napoleon the Great, the Gauls would not have fought.
However, after receiving the guarantee of the Empire that the sun never sets, the Gaul State did not have to worry at all. In their own strength, they were indeed not rivals of the Germanic Empire. But they also had the Tsarist Empire, an ally that could contain a considerable part of the Germanic Empire’s power from the eastern front. There is also the Empire that never sets, which can form an expeditionary force and reinforce them.
Among other things, there is also the little brother of the Kingdom of Billys, who also has a certain amount of power.
Under such circumstances, the gaulish top brass also believed that since this war was inevitable. Then, simply use this battle to defeat the Germanic Empire in one fell swoop, and shame on you. At the same time, the threat posed to them by the Germanic Empire was completely eliminated.
The Gallic Commander-in-Chief, Raymond Poincaré, had issued orders for the Gallic Army to begin mobilizing to raise the standing strength of the Gallic Army from eight hundred thousand to two million men in response to the threat of the Germanic Empire.
Of course, the excuse they made was that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was engaged in a military mobilization, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was about to use force against their little brother the Kingdom of Selvia, and it did not seem to be going to the Germanic Empire at all. But in fact, who their target is, passers-by know.
Similarly, the Empire of the Rising Sun on the other side of the Strait is also mobilizing. The Imperial Navy had entered a state of war readiness, and a large number of capital ships had been transferred back to the mainland from various seas to prepare to blockade the coast of the Germanic Empire.
If necessary, it was even more decisive with the Germanic Imperial Navy to defeat the Germanic Imperial Navy in one fell swoop.
This is the most important thing for the Empire where the sun never sets.
Only after the defeat of the Germanic Imperial Navy could the supremacy of the Imperial Navy of the Empire not be challenged. Their homeland can also be in absolute security. In this way, no matter what the war looks like on the European continent, the war will not burn on their homeland.
Of course, in order to support the Gaul state and help the Gaul state resist the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army, the Imperial Army is also actively mobilizing.
Decades ago, the Army of the Kingdom of Prussia was able to sweep through the Army of the Second Gallic Empire, and even the Emperor of the Gauls was captured. Thus laid the myth that the Prussian army combat effectiveness was the first in the world.
Even the Gauls have been underpaid for decades. But it is difficult to say whether the Gauls were able to withstand the attack of the Germanic Empire in the midst of war. Therefore, the Empire did not rest assured of the Gauls.
In order to ensure the victory of the war, the Empire of the Rising Sun had to send a large number of troops, form an expeditionary force, cross the strait, and travel to the north of the Gaul Kingdom to support the Gaulish people.
Otherwise, once the Gauls were defeated, the Germanic Empire would conquer all of Western Europe. At that time, no one will be able to prevent the victory of the Germanic Empire anymore.
Even if the Tsarist Empire was on the Eastern Front, it could not resist it.
The Germanic Empire would win the land wars and become the hegemon of the European continent.
This is an absolute disaster for the Empire of the Sun Never Setting. Even if they have a powerful Royal Navy that can defend the homeland. However, after losing the support of the European continent, once the Germans integrated the power of the whole of Europe. The Germanic Empire, then, was ready to build an incomparably powerful navy to challenge the Royal Navy of the Empire. It will be very difficult for the Imperial Navy to continue to maintain its advantage.
In such a situation, the Cabinet of the Empire has made a decision to mobilize the Army. Once war broke out, an expeditionary force was immediately dispatched to The Gaul State to fight.
Ensure that the Gaul state can withstand the attack of the Germanic Empire with the assistance of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.
In this way, the Empire could take advantage of the Royal Navy, blockade the coast of the Germanic Empire, and cut off the coastline of the Germanic Empire until it dragged the Germanic Empire alive.
As time passed, the Kingdom of Selvia still did not respond to the ultimatum proposed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Or rather, there is no explicit rejection.
But the fact that a general national mobilization has actually begun is all that is said.
Not only that, but the Russian Empire, the Gaul Empire and the Empire of the Rising Sun also began to mobilize. This meant that the Entente was ready for a great war with the Allies.
In response, the Austro-Hungarian and Germanic Empires also began to mobilize.
Only the Kingdom of Caesar, one of the Allied powers, seemed unmoved, and hung high on its own.
All countries have mobilized, so that the air throughout Europe seems to have a choking smell of gunpowder.
