The occupation of many colonies in the Americas and the West Indies is simply a slap in the face of the British Empire, where to put the face of the maritime hegemonic empire?

The British people were all indignant, hoping that the government would severely punish the Xia Empire, and that they must be taught a proper lesson and let them know the consequences of offending the British Empire; In particular, those who returned to Britain from places such as the United States and Canada were even more eager for the British Empire to deal a heavy blow to the Xia Empire, and it was better to recover the occupied territory.

The British Prime Minister convened successive cabinet meetings to discuss how to deal with the military pressure of the Xia Empire.

It's just that his family knows his own affairs, and the current British Empire is on the surface, but in fact, after the Boer War, its control over the world is getting worse day by day.

On the European continent, Germany has risen strongly, not only with rapid economic and technological development, but also with the claim that its army is the first in Europe, and in the last decade or so, it has developed a powerful navy with great ambitions, wanting to threaten the position of the British Empire at sea, clamoring to fight for territory under the sun, and the spearhead is directed at the British Empire.

Britain was forced to move from "glorious isolation" to the "Triple Military Entente" to face the German threat, and continued to shrink its global military presence to maintain temporary military superiority at home.

What is infuriating is that the Xia Empire has to advance inch by inch, like a hungry wolf that can never get enough to eat, and its greed for land is endless, gradually encroaching on many British colonies, causing Britain's territory and assets to shrink significantly; While Britain was shrinking its military in the world's colonies, the Xia Empire took the opportunity to make great strides and encroach on the void left by Britain's withdrawal; First Australia, then Canada, and now even the colonies of the West Indies and South America are all occupied.

The Xia Empire has reaped great benefits in wars one after another, and only relying on war reparations can ensure the rapid development of its economy.

Now the British government does not know how to deal with the Xia Empire.

Originally, I thought it was a civil conflict, and it was a small problem that could be solved as long as diplomatic communication was carried out, but I didn't expect that the Xia Empire didn't follow the rules at all, and before the war was declared, it occupied the territory first, and it was also called the protector of overseas Chinese.

If the British Empire's powerful fleet of battleships is sent, it will be easy to defeat the navy of the Lu State and recover the occupied colonies, but in that case, the Xia Empire will definitely send its powerful battleship fleet into the Atlantic, so that Britain has not yet solved the tiger of Germany, and will open the door to usher in the evil wolf of the Xia Empire, and Britain is still powerless for two-front battles; The battleships of the British Empire with 343mm main guns were all traded from the Xia Empire, and it is not known how much strength they still hide, and whether there are more Xia-class battleships? Is there a more powerful battleship than the Xia-class battleships?

The British did not dare to make a bet on themselves to test the naval strength of the Xia Empire.

Originally, the British government wanted to use the "Yellow Peril Theory" to unite white countries to jointly deal with the Xia Empire, and began to publicize it vigorously, and even the civil forces were mobilized, but the Xia Empire's action to protect overseas Chinese frightened all small countries.

The Xia Empire co-opted Germany and Russia to specifically suppress Britain, France and the Netherlands, making it difficult for Britain to unite with Russia to deal with the Xia Empire, that is, France was more willing to cede its interests to the Xia Empire to achieve peace, and they were more afraid of Germany sticking a knife in the back when dealing with the Xia Empire.

It would be nice if Germany also joined the ranks of jointly dealing with the Xia Empire, but the Xia Empire not only provided Germany with cheap grain and industrial raw materials, sold military technology, but also opened the domestic market to Germany, so that the Germans gained a lot of benefits; Moreover, there was no major conflict of interest between Germany and the Xia Empire, and the rise of the Xia Empire could contain the military of Britain, France, and Russia in Asia, which would only be good for the Germans; And for the sake of immediate interests, the Germans will definitely not tear their faces with the Xia Empire before they are ready, they just want to fight against the Xia Empire, and that is also after defeating Britain, France and Russia and dominating Europe.

The Russian Empire will not confront the Xia Empire head-on, they have a precedent of the Russo-Japanese War, in the decisive battle in the Far East, the battle line is too long, and the supply of logistics materials is costly, and the Xia Empire through sea transportation, it is very convenient to carry out the supply of logistics baggage, compared with the two, or use the strategic depth, shrink the front, stretch the Xia Empire's baggage supply line, maybe there will be the possibility of victory.

The situation in France is similar, everyone does not dare to fight a decisive battle with the Xia Empire in Asia, and the Xia Empire also understands this truth, and has not expanded to the west, because it is afraid that it will be closer to Europe, the battle line will be lengthened, and it will be more convenient for European countries to fight.

Now that the Xia Empire is rising, with the support of the Xia Empire, the Chinese Empire was founded, and it is much stronger than when the Qing Dynasty was stronger, and France has gained less and less benefits in the Far East, and it is not worth the war with the Xia Empire in the Far East.

However, Britain was more afraid of the westward expansion of the Xia Empire, in which case it was Britain that suffered the most; In times of economic difficulties, the British division could not afford to lose the Indian colonies under any circumstances, otherwise the British would go bankrupt without being attacked by others.

The British are now in a dilemma, a war with the Xia Empire is a victory or a partial victory, and in the end it is the Germans and France and Russia who are cheaper; If the war is defeated, the best outcome for the British Empire will be reduced to the current situation of the old colonial empires such as Spain and the Netherlands, and even worse, like Japan and the United States, will not only lose huge amounts of land, but also be burdened with huge reparations.

In the end, it was the cunning Admiral Churchill who proposed that it would definitely not work for the British Empire to go down and fight the Xia Empire in person, the risk was too high, and it was better to support the proxies to fight the Xia Empire.

At the beginning, I wanted to rely on Japan to drag down the pace of the war of the Xia Empire, but I didn't expect Japan to lose so quickly, and it lasted for less than half a year, and now it has completely become the lackey of the Xia Empire, no matter where the Xia Empire has a war, the Japanese mercenaries are indispensable, and the Japanese mercenaries are even more cruel, so that the local people can't afford to resist.

The Americans were caught off guard by the blitzkrieg of the Xia Empire, and they were defeated without even mobilization, not only ceding a large amount of land, but also bearing huge reparations for defeat.

And the Americans must have reached some kind of agreement with the Xia Empire, otherwise they would not have attacked Mexico, and the Xia Empire was still indifferent to the United States attacking Mexico, which is very abnormal.

Two great powers were crippled in succession, and the average small country was no match for the Xia Empire at all; The most ideal is the Russian Empire, which uses its huge strategic depth and huge population advantage to drag down the Xia Empire; But that would be cheaper for the Germans, and without Russia's participation in the encirclement of Germany, Germany would be more dangerous, after all, Germany was close at hand, and the Xia Empire was too far away to threaten the security of Europe for the time being; More importantly, Russia was also reluctant to enter into a head-on conflict with the Xia Empire.

If the Xia Empire expands its territory in South America, it can support Brazil and Argentina, these two countries have a large enough strategic depth, a large population, and a long distance from the Xia Empire, and the logistics supply will definitely not be easy, if they can defeat the Xia Empire, it is best to fight a protracted war and drag the Xia Empire down.

According to the Xia Empire's greed for land, the Xia Empire has a springboard in South America, and it borders Brazil, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the goal of the Xia Empire, they will definitely attack Brazil, but they don't know the specific time; Since it will happen sooner or later, it is better to prepare early, and if it is late, it will fail like the Americans without time to mobilize, and a strong army cannot be built in a short period of time.

And now that Britain has no colonies in the Americas, supporting Brazil and Argentina will not threaten British interests.

The Prime Minister and other cabinet members felt that the Admiralty's words were very reasonable, but they could not only let the British pay, but also faced the threat of the Xia Empire, France, and the cabinet hoped to bring France in and support Brazil together.

Just do it, the British Foreign Office quickly got in touch with France, the French were very interested in this idea, they were very happy to create trouble for the Xia Empire, that is, Brazil did not have a head-on conflict with the Xia Empire, and if Brazil was supported, it could also stir up the troubled waters of South America, and it would be able to contain the energy of the Xia Empire, the United States regarded South America as its backyard at the beginning, and now the Xia Empire should have a similar mentality.

Britain and France quickly contacted Brazil to pick it up.

Brazil is worried that the Xia Empire will find them trouble, and now Britain and France have taken the initiative to help them, and the Brazilians are still very interested, after all, they are all white, and their relationship with each other is better than with the Xia Empire.

Brazil itself has its own considerations, the Xia Empire is too powerful, and now it has developed to their doorstep, the pressure is self-evident, but even the British Empire is not an opponent, can Brazil defeat the Xia Empire?

According to the analysis of British and French diplomats, as long as the war is protracted, the Xia Empire is so far away, even if it is dragged down, the Xia Empire can be dragged down, compared to attrition, relying on strategic depth, favorable terrain and population advantages, and when the Xia Empire feels that victory is hopeless or the consumption is too great, it will withdraw, and the final victory must be Brazilians, and they must prepare early, and they can't be caught off guard like the Americans, and they will regret it too late.

The Brazilians, in line with the principle of being prepared, still accept the military assistance of the two countries first, besides, it is a bastard to be cheap and not profitable, and it is rare for a pie to fall from the sky, and now that it has been encountered, it must not let go, and with the help of the two countries, it will not conflict with the Xia Empire, and it can also expand its territory to the surrounding areas, and no country will think that its own army is too strong.

Of course, Britain and France did not help Brazil in vain, but a mutually beneficial act, Britain and France sent military personnel to train the Brazilian army, sold all kinds of army equipment and naval warships to Brazil, helped them build steel mills, explosives factories and production lines for rifle bullets and shells, etc., and helped them build railways, ports and other infrastructure, but the sales price was relatively cheaper, while Brazil sold unsalable coffee, sugar, iron ore, etc. to Britain and France.

For Brazilians, it can not only establish a complete industrial chain, but also sell unsalable materials, expand employment, and improve the strength of the national army; For Britain and France, it is not a loss, not only to sell military equipment and other industrial products, to expand the sales market, but also to buy cheap materials, and more importantly, to arrange a tough nail in the Americas, if the Xia Empire does not know whether to attack Brazil alive or dead, it will definitely hit the head and bleed.
