The Rise of Australasia

The specific treaty stipulates that if any of the four great powers is subjected to unprovoked aggression from another country, including but not limited to border provocations, sneak attacks, and crisis creation, the other three great powers must immediately stand behind the provoked country and, after consultations, take joint action to maintain world peace.

Given the current strength of the Allies, this treaty is purely aimed at Germany and its allied nations behind.

Apart from the allied nations, even the United States does not have the courage to launch an attack on any of the Allies' nations.

In addition to the requirement for military responsibility, the four great powers have also signed the "Naval Affairs Declaration" to agree on the respective tasks of the navy among the four countries.

This declaration is only limited to wartime, with the United Kingdom assuming the defense of France's Atlantic coastal region and France assuming the defense of the British colonized coastal areas in the Mediterranean Sea.

Russian Nation joins the blockade against the German High Seas Fleet, and Australasia sends at least four main battleships to help the British Empire patrol the Indian Ocean region.

At the same time, if war breaks out, France's Mediterranean Fleet will control the entire Mediterranean Sea together with Russia Nation's Black Sea Fleet.

Just in case, both the British fleet along the Atlantic coast and the Australasian fleet patrolling the Indian Ocean region must take joint action after consultations to block the entire Mediterranean Sea, especially the Otranto Strait, to prevent the Italian Navy and the Austro-Hungarian Navy from joining forces.

Australasia's least commitment to naval obligations is actually due to the fact that its navy has only five main battleships so far.

However, this also has an advantage – even if the navy suffers considerable losses in the war, it is still acceptable to Australasia.

Anyway, it's only three dreadnoughts and two battlecruisers; even if they're all sunk, Arthur will only be heartbroken.

Not only the navy, but the obligations that each country should bear in the army have also been preliminarily divided.

The United Kingdom and Russia Nation are responsible for jointly resolving the German High Seas Fleet, and the British must send troops to support France to help them hold the line.

The Frenchman is responsible for the offensive power of Germany on the Westline, where many of Germany's main force will be concentrated. In addition, the Mediterranean route is also the responsibility of the Frenchman, and the Russian Black Sea Fleet, as well as part of the Australasian fleet, can provide assistance.

Russian Nation's main goal is to deal with enemy Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bulgaria, and Ottoman Empire. Of course, opening a battlefield in eastern Germany and forcing the Germans to fight on two fronts is also necessary.

In view of the problem of insufficient weapons and equipment in the Russian Army but abundant troops, Britain-France-Australia Three Nations have promised to provide Russian Nation with low-priced weapons and equipment during the war.

If Russia Nation's Westline support is cut off, Australasia will transport a large number of weapons and equipment to Russia Nation from the Far East.

First, Australasia is to dispatch at least 300,000 combat troops to support France.

Second, except for retaining a certain scale of defensive forces, all other naval forces of Australasia will be mobilized to cooperate with the British, French, and Russian navies.

Third, given Australasia's fairly good military industry, it will be responsible for providing Russia Nation with a large number of weapons and equipment, and the selling price cannot be too high.

If Britain-France Two Nations lack weapons and equipment, they can also purchase from Australasia.

The preliminary division of combat tasks is basically like this, determined by the four countries based on their geographical location.

Actually, whether it's divided or not, the situation after the war breaks out will be like this. Geographical location determines the war policy of each country. It's not like Australasia can fight a decisive battle against the German Navy, right?

If you have to say who has the heaviest task in the preliminary division of combat tasks, it might be the Frenchmen.

According to the division of combat tasks, in the early stage of the war, the French have to resist the joint attacks of the two great powers, Germany and Italy, and their navy has to fight against Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Although the military strength of Italy is not that strong, France can't beat Germany either!

Good news is that in the army, the French have support from the United Kingdom and Australasia.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the number of troops supported by the United Kingdom and Australasia is expected to be around 600,000.

In addition to France's own soldiers, there will be no problem gathering 2-3 million men after the war breaks out.

As for the navy, it seems difficult to blockade the Mediterranean Sea, but with the support of the British, Russian Black Sea Fleet, and Australasian Fleet, the possibility of completing the task is still high.

If the war develops according to the battle plan, it would also be good news for the Allies.

After all, the Allies' battle plan has no flaws except for consumption, and the Allies basically have large families and businesses and are not afraid of that little consumption.

As for the issue of interest distribution after the war, negotiations did not go smoothly. In the end, it was Arthur who proposed to distribute based on the losses and contributions of the Four Great Powers in the war that France and Russia agreed, and the British finally nodded.

France and Russia's agreement is actually very normal. The French have the heaviest tasks in the combat allocation, and their contribution during the war must not be small.

As for the Russians, they have no advantages other than many people. If it's about losses, they are really not afraid of anyone.
