On the evening of 10 September, while Schurik, the prime minister of the Sharad Empire, was reporting to Emperor Herris, the prime ministers of the other six countries sent back to China by telegram the number of troops that each of the seven countries' naval and land armies needed to send and the plan for the distribution of benefits after the war.

In addition to the navy, the seven countries need to attribute all the super-dreadnought battleships, battle cruisers, and dreadnought battleships in service to the soon-to-be-established seven-nation naval combined fleet, and in terms of land, the seven countries also have a minimum troop contribution limit, and this minimum cannot include the army forces of the client countries.

The minimum number of troops is eight million for the Noomi Empire, seven million for the Sharad Empire, six million for the Innovaba Empire, five million for the Monia Empire, and four million for the Gisk, Ryerland, and Orenza Empires.

Of course, the more troops the Seven Nations Army can join this war, the greater the share of benefits that will be distributed after the war.

The emperors of the Anglopa Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire, the Gisk Empire, the Ryerland Empire, and the Orenza Empire did not have much disagreement about the number of troops that each of the seven countries' naval and land armies needed to send and the distribution of benefits after the war, so on the morning of September 11, the prime ministers of the seven countries gathered in a conference room in the Prime Minister's Office of the Sharad Empire and signed an agreement on the Seven-Nation Alliance.

In order to give each country some time to mobilize troops and raise war materials, the seven countries preliminarily agreed that they would formally declare war on the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire in early January next year.

On the afternoon of the day the agreement was signed, the prime ministers of the seven countries jointly held a press conference at the Prime Minister's Office of the Sharad Empire, announcing that the seven countries would form a seven-nation alliance for the sake of world peace, urging the seven countries and other countries in the world to reduce their military forces and stop the current military competition that is becoming more and more intense among the countries of the world.

The rest of the world was in an uproar about the sudden formation of the seven-nation alliance of the world's seven powers, and many countries immediately reacted, this so-called seven-nation alliance was obviously established against the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire.

On the morning of September 14, 3013 in the Tang calendar, in a large hall in the palace of Liuyun City, the capital of the Liuyun Empire, Emperor Li Hong frowned and asked Prime Minister Cao Ziliang: "Prime Minister, what do you think of the telegram sent by the Shalad Empire in the morning?" ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the Salad Empire will not only send an additional million troops to our Liuyun Empire, but the Monia Empire and the Ruierlan Empire will also have nearly 10 million army troops into the territory of our Liuyun Empire. ”

Emperor Li Hong asked in a tangled manner: "Prime Minister, do you think our Liuyun Empire can stay out of this war?" ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Sharad Empire will not agree at that time, and tens of millions of troops from the Sharad Empire, the Monia Empire and the Ruierland Empire have entered the territory of our Liuyun Empire, and our Liuyun Empire will probably be unable to help itself at that time." ”

Emperor Li Hong sighed and said: "Although I am wary of the Tang Empire, and even ready for war with the Tang Empire, I am not willing to be an accomplice of the seven kingdoms of Yingluopa, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Gisk, Ruierland, and Orenza, alas——"

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this time the seven great powers such as Yingluoba and Sharad are united, even if the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire are combined, they will definitely be defeated, and our Liuyun Empire is caught in the middle, and there is not much room for choice." ”

Emperor Li Hong suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Prime Minister, do you think that our Liuyun Empire can unite with the Tang Dynasty and Ziyue, after all, we are all Tang people's countries!" ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang was suddenly frightened by Emperor Li Hong's words, "Your Majesty, by all means, in that case, it is equivalent to pushing our Liuyun Empire into the abyss!" ”

Emperor Li Hong said dejectedly: "Forget it, I am just talking, I also know that in the face of the alliance of the seven great powers such as Yingluoba and Sharad, even if all the countries of the entire Eastern Continent are united, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Seven Nations Alliance, if the war breaks out, our Liuyun Empire will strive to send as few land forces as possible to the territory of the Tang Empire, alas——"

Just when the Emperor of the Liuyun Empire, Li Hong, sighed, in the palace of the Celestial Star Empire's capital Celestial Star City, the emperor of the Celestial Star Empire, Song Xuan, also frowned and asked Prime Minister Huang Kun: "Now that the seven kingdoms of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Gisk, Ruierland, and Orenza have formed an alliance, it is obvious that they are going to attack the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, and the Prime Minister feels that our Celestial Star Empire should go when the time comes?" ”

Prime Minister Huang Kun sighed and said: "Your Majesty, now the garrison of the Jisk Empire in our Celestial Star Empire exceeds three million, once the war breaks out, even if our Celestial Star Empire is unwilling, we have to stand on the side of the Seven Nations Alliance, it can be said that our Celestial Star Empire has no choice at all." ”

Emperor Song Xun's brows furrowed even tighter, "I'm worried that the Jisk Empire will force our Celestial Star Empire's army forces to attack the Tang Empire or the Purple Moon Empire, in that case, the reputation of our Celestial Star Empire's royal family in the country will become even worse." ”

Prime Minister Huang Kun said helplessly: "In the face of the alliance of the seven great powers, the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire have no chance of winning, and our Celestial Star Empire can only take care of ourselves, and after the war begins, our Celestial Star Empire strives not to directly send troops to the war as much as possible, but the minister is worried that the Jisk Empire will not agree." ”

Emperor Song sighed, "First suspend the plan for the continued expansion of the Royal Army, and hope that the Jisk Empire will not be too unkind at that time." ”

When the news of the alliance of the seven countries of Yingluopa, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Gisk, Ruierland, and Orenza reached Chang'an City, Su Yi immediately summoned He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, who had been staying in Chang'an City, as well as Xu Haoming, the prime minister of the Tang Empire, and Shi Jian, the vice premier of the cabinet, to the Xiande Hall in the palace.

Su Yi sneered and said: "This is really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, this so-called alliance composed of seven countries such as Yingluoba and Sharad is obviously aimed at our Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, it seems that a war is inevitable." ”

Shi Jian, the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, said with a pale face at this time: "Your Majesty, the industry, military and economy of the seven countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, Noomi, Monia, Gisk, Ruierland, and Orenza have always been at the forefront of the world, once the war really breaks out, the consequences are likely to be unimaginable, can it be ......?"

Su Yi waved his hand and interrupted what Vice Premier Shi Jian was about to say, "Premier Shi, even if our Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire compromise, people may not let us go of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, so we should not have any luck, what our Tang Empire and even the Purple Moon Empire have to do next is to prepare our forces for war and prepare to face the so-called Seven Nations Alliance!" ”

Cabinet Premier Xu Haoming immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty is reasonable, concessions cannot be exchanged for mercy, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, as long as the 2.9 billion people of our Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire are united, we will definitely be able to defeat the Seven Nations Alliance!" ”

After the Tang Empire annexed the country of Hele, the population was close to two billion, and the Purple Moon Empire currently has a population of more than nine hundred million, and the two together have a population of more than two billion.

Su Yi nodded slightly and said: "Next, our Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire must go all out to prepare for war, and each arsenal must expand its scale and implement a system of three shifts twenty-four hours a day, striving to produce more weapons and ammunition, and all shipyards also need to implement three shifts to further speed up the speed of building ships, in addition, enterprises such as steel mills and chemical plants related to the military industry must also enter the wartime system, and the supply of various arsenals and shipyards must be guaranteed." ”

Xu Haoming, the premier of the cabinet, immediately said: "Your Majesty can rest assured, the minister will personally grasp the production of various arsenals and shipyards, ensure the supply of weapons and ammunition for all army units as much as possible, and also let the Royal Navy of our Tang Empire have more warships in the next war." ”

Su Yi turned his head to He Yunfei and said: "Since Yingluopa, Shalad and the other seven countries have made it clear that they want to attack our Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, then immediately let each reserve infantry division enter a state of combat readiness and step up training. ”

Relying on the huge human resources of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, in just over a month, in the sixty-four provinces of the Tang Empire and the thirty-three provinces of the Purple Moon Empire, a total of 600 reserve infantry divisions have been built in accordance with Su Yi's requirements, and the personnel of these 600 reserve infantry divisions have reached full strength.

However, almost all of the soldiers of these 600 reserve infantry divisions are peasants, workers, and handicraftsmen who have just been drafted, and each reserve infantry division has only nearly 2,000 active-duty officers as the backbone, and most of the weapons and ammunition of these 600 reserve infantry divisions have not yet been put in place, so these 600 reserve infantry divisions have not yet formed any combat effectiveness for the time being.

He Yunfei nodded and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as there are two months of training, these six hundred reserve infantry divisions will be able to have a certain combat effectiveness, and at that time, our Royal Army of the Tang Empire and the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire will be able to have more than seventy million troops, and the Seven Nations Alliance is nothing." ”
