After many discussions, the British cabinet finally agreed with the Xia Empire's opinion, exchanging such a large piece of territory for the Xia Empire's 4 battleships, it is not a loss or a profit, but it feels forced by the Xia Empire, and I feel very aggrieved, and after the British Empire's navy develops strong, I will definitely find the Xia Empire to recalculate the accounts and return the humiliation to the Xia Empire.

Churchill, the Minister of the Navy, felt even more humiliated, and in order to strengthen the development of the British Navy, he specially invited the former First Secretary of War of the Navy to take charge of the development of the Navy again. Because he found that the naval development of the Xia Empire was very similar to Fisher's original plan, allowing Fisher to lead LinkedIn to develop the navy strongly and strive to surpass the navy of the Xia Empire, the British Parliament was forced to pass the naval budget and agreed to vigorously develop the British Navy; Now there is the rapid development of the navy of the Xia Empire, far surpassing Britain in technology, Germany is catching up, and the naval strength should not be underestimated, if the British navy continues to be not developed, then it will not be able to protect the huge colonies, then Britain will repeat the footsteps of the Netherlands, Spain and other countries.

In order to facilitate communication and communication, the task of signing the agreement with Britain was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the British ambassador to the Xia Empire communicated with Hua Guoqiang, the foreign minister of the Xia Empire, and Li Zhaoshui of the General Staff to sign the final agreement.

The whole negotiation was divided into two parts, the first part was the part of the exchange of battleships for land; The second part is a memorandum on the handling of the United States programme.

The contents of the first part are mainly as follows:

1. The British Empire extended the eastern boundary of Albert Province of Canada to the north indefinitely, and the part west of the border line was exchanged to the Xia Empire, where the Xia Empire merged with Alaska to form a new country, and the Xia Empire's garrison in the newly established country shall not exceed 150,000 people; The British in the area had to evacuate within 3 months, and all the fixed assets were left to the Xia Empire, which began to send people to take over the above territory after 2 months;

2. Within 3 months, after the Xia Empire has taken over the territory, it must immediately hand over to the British Empire 4 Xia-class battleships, which must be intact and cannot differ from the active battleships of the Xia Empire, and must provide a full set of design and production drawings, the British Empire can build any number of battleships of this class on its own, and if there are parts and equipment that the British cannot produce on its own, the Xia Empire must supply them in a timely manner at cost price;

3. When the British Empire conducts economic and trade dealings with the newly established countries, the import and export tariffs of both countries shall be 5%, and no political treaties or any other additional conditions shall be attached;

4. When the merchant ships of the British Empire sailed in the waters controlled by the Xia Empire, they could replenish and rest in any of the nearby ports, and the ports of the Xia Empire must provide timely and good services, and the same treatment and conditions as the Xia Empire's own merchant ships.

The contents of the second part are as follows:

1. Britain supported the Xia Empire to establish a new country on the occupied territory of the original United States, but retained at least 13 states of the United States, and the Xia Empire was not allowed to innocently attack the United States in the future; Britain renounced the original demand for the establishment of the kingdoms of Indians and Negroes;

4. Britain supported the Xia Empire's decision to restore the Hawaiian Kingdom;

5. The United States must apologize to the Chinese for the "Chinese Exclusion Act", compensate for the difficulties caused to the Chinese, and bear the expenses of the Xia Empire in this war totaling 600 million taels of silver;

8. Americans living in the occupied areas of the Xia Empire, if they are willing to leave, must leave within 3 months, and must not destroy the infrastructure when leaving, and those who are unwilling to leave can join the Xia Empire and abide by the laws of the Xia Empire.

Zhang Wei looked at the preliminary agreement sent by Hua Guoqiang, and felt that it was okay, so he allowed to continue to sign an agreement with Britain on this basis, and said: "Sign the agreement first, and after the agreement with Britain is signed, immediately sign an agreement with the United States. ”

Zhang Wei values the territory, and in the agreement, it is clear that the territory will be returned to the Xia Empire or a new country will be formed by the Xia Empire, and he is not willing to care about those details, besides, it will be a world war in a few years, who cares about those treaties, and the Xia Empire is not what to do if it wants to? Moreover, the memorandum of the second part of this agreement is already very comprehensive, and it simply contains the entire content of the Xia Empire's treaty with the United States, and Zhang Wei is very satisfied.

With the support of the British Empire, the negotiations with the United States went very smoothly in the following days, with British representatives circling around, France and the Russian Empire, as well as the Netherlands and Spain, and other countries also agreed with the British proposal, which not only met the conditions of the Xia Empire, but also protected the United States, retained 13 states for the United States, and at the same time limited the threat of the Xia Empire's navy to Europe.

The Xia Empire did not ask for garrisons as it did with the Japanese, which made the Americans breathe a sigh of relief, although most of the territory was cut off, but as long as the United States was not destroyed, there would be a day of revival, and there would definitely be a day when the lost land would be regained; Besides, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and other countries did not support the demands put forward by the United States, which made the US government and the people very angry, although they knew that it was difficult to make the Xia Empire spit out the territory it had occupied, but Britain and France and other countries did not even mention it, which was really unacceptable.

In response to the request of the United States to limit the number of troops stationed in the Americas by the Xia Empire, Ambassador Li Jingfa only promised that he would not continue to send troops and maintain the status quo, and all countries acquiesced in the Xia Empire's commitment and did not support the demands of the Americans.

The Americans didn't care too much about the amount of compensation at that time, and it was still very easy to pay it off in 10 years, but the Xia Empire only needed silver or Xia Empire banknotes, which made the Americans very helpless and invisibly increased the difficulty. In this regard, almost all countries such as Britain and Germany have objections, and feel that not wanting their country's paper money is an insult to their country, but Li Jingfa has repeatedly emphasized that this is the emperor's decision, and no one has the right to change it, so that the anger of the ambassadors of various countries has subsided slightly.

The agreement was finally signed on the last day of the armistice period demanded by the Xia Empire, and because it was signed in Washington, the agreement became known as the Treaty of Washington, which established the absolute control of the Xia Empire over North America, created the preconditions for the occupation of all of North America, and would change the entire pattern of the world.
