where is the belgium congo?
Never became the Belgium Congo. The Congo free state was spilt between Britain, Germany, portugal and France, though the French have to up some of the French congo, and had to give a small colony to Belgium.

well it appears that the Great mistake number one is about to kick off.
Germany have got to deal with Austria-Hungary as well though.France is in for a world of hurt a british blockade and a german invasion will not help their survival.
Austria is near to revolution, but they aren't finished yet. Wars tend also to unite peopleaustria is a dead man walking and Italy is just waiting to get the italian speaking lands back.
Spoilers!!!so will the germans and British split the oil fields they conquer from the corpse of the ottoman empire. more please

They could, but it will not be an easy fight by any means, and it will only become worse for them the longer the war lasts. Their navy may be good, and may be able to put the hurt on the RN pound for pound but it won't be able to recover nearly as quickly. The fact of the matter is that at this point nobody on the continent could match GB in its ability to repair and replace damaged/sunk ships.
Similarly, Germany may have to deal with A-H, but even with a larger military they won't take as many resources to bring down as Russia did. They're smaller, still wracked by systemic problems with their military (and infrastructure), and unlike invading Russia the Germans will have a much easier time invading from a logistical standpoint. Their railroads are on the same Gauge after all.
In this situation I could see German strategists favoring an inverted version of the Knockout blow strategy they used OTL. The Austrian military is unlikely to be much faster to mobilize than they were here and Vienna is comparably very close to the border (especially compared to Paris, behind a short and well defended border as it is). A rapid invasion of the heartland of A-H could cripple it, if not take it out of the war entirely; thus freeing up lots of resources that could either be sent directly to the border, or down into Italy to mount an invasion from that direction.
This is all assuming that Germany doesn't try and pull and end-run through Belgium anyways, though that really depends on how much Russia is actually committed to the Treaty of London, as they'll probably be filling the role of Neutral Power who signed this time.
Could you post the link to the new TL in here?
