Chapter 217: Preparing for Battle

The end of the Russian-Austrian Alliance, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly shocked the world.

What Pacific War, disputes over the free trade system, secrets of Queen Victoria—all these hot news topics were pushed aside.

Anyone with even a slight political sense knew that the global political landscape was about to be reshuffled.

With the Russian-Austrian Alliance gone, the last barrier constraining the Prusso-Polish Federation no longer existed. The Berlin Government would not wait for the Russians to prepare before launching a war.

Over the years, both Prussia and Russia had been preparing for war, and both nations' military industries and transport had achieved breakthrough developments.
