Although Zhang Wei requested that the content of the agreement not be made public, the army and administrative cadres of the Xia Empire were sent to the southwestern and northwest provinces of the Great Qing State in large numbers, and even fools knew that the Great Qing State and the Xia Empire had reached some kind of agreement, and the officials of the Great Qing State had no sense of secrecy at all, and the countries soon found out the main content of the agreement signed by the two countries.

The most uncomfortable force in this is the Chinese Revolutionary Party adapted from the League, Mr. Sun has been pondering in Hanoi after knowing the news, the Xia Empire is really his nemesis, his good things are always interrupted by the Xia Empire, and he does not have the strength to confront it.

The first province that Zhao Liangong, the governor of the Southern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region, led his troops to arrive in was Guangxi Province, first to take over the local government, and then to incorporate the Guangxi New Army, the patrol battalion and the green battalion, and for the Eight Banners Army, to return them to the jurisdiction of the Great Qing State, and then closed the three passes of Guibian, Pingerguan, Shuikou and Zhennan, as well as all the passes, and cut off the connection with the French colonies; In the end, he began to recruit all the bandits in Guangxi Province, and the measures taken were to refer to Du Shihui's method and integrate these bandits into mercenaries or garrisons, or directly arrange for them to work or go to the Xia Empire to farm.

The actions of the Xia Empire completely broke the plan of action of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, they set up their base in Liangshan, and the army of the Xia Empire was guarding Zhennan Pass, the distance between the two places was too close, and the army of the Xia Empire could reach Liangshan with a charge; Moreover, with the army of the Xia Empire guarding the frontier of the Great Qing Kingdom, the Chinese Revolutionary Army could not even penetrate the border of the Great Qing Kingdom, let alone occupy the land south of the Yangtze River, or even overthrow the Great Qing Kingdom.

Chen Qimei, who was collecting bandits in Guangxi, secretly escaped from Guangxi Province and returned to Shanghai when the Xia Empire's army was pressing, and his efforts to recruit bandits in Guangxi came to naught.

Soon, the middle and low-level personnel of the Chinese Revolutionary Party also knew about the current situation in the Qing Dynasty, and with the help of the Xia Empire, the Chinese Revolutionary Army did not even have a chance to cause trouble, and the people's hearts gradually dispersed, and many people with a weak revolutionary attitude left the French colonies one after another and returned to the Qing Dynasty.

The British Empire also received the news of the agreement between the Xia Empire and the Qing Dynasty, and directly stopped its aid to the Chinese Revolutionary Party, and the original aid agreement was nullified, and only three months of aid funds were provided for the Chinese Revolutionary Party.

The French government did not dare to embarrass the Xia Empire, otherwise it would be tantamount to creating a pretext for the Xia Empire to attack the French colonies, although the members of the Chinese Revolutionary Party were not expelled, but the colonial governor provided great convenience for the people who left, and in addition, cut off all the convenience for the Chinese Revolutionary Party, making it very difficult for the members who remained in the French colonies to live.

The Russian Empire did not dare to provoke the Xia Empire now, and after receiving the battleships, battlecruisers and destroyers purchased from the Xia Empire, they all sailed back to Europe, and did not dare to park in Vladivostok, for fear of being quietly sunk by the Xia Empire.

Britain, France, and Russia were extremely dissatisfied with the Xia Empire's garrison of the Qing Dynasty, which interrupted their plans, not only aborted the original plan to support the League, but also failed to occupy Xinjiang to support the Hui and Mongolian forces; This also made the three kingdoms more closely united, hoping to unite to jointly resist the military pressure of the Xia Empire.

Only the United States was not greatly affected, but under the auspices of President Theodore Roosevelt, the allocation of funds for the Navy was increased, and the installation of the battleships Michigan and South Carolina was expedited, so that they could be put into service as soon as possible; At the same time, the construction of the battleships Delaware and North Dakota was accelerated; On the basis of digesting the Lanfang-class battleships and battlecruisers, actively research and develop new battleships, battleships that meet the requirements of the US Navy.

In the impression of the Americans, the United States must develop a strong navy, and only the navy can protect the interests of the United States in the world, and the United States is independent, and it is difficult for the land forces of other countries to hit the United States, and this has also made the Americans relax their efforts to build up their land forces.

At the same time, the US ambassador to Beijing repeatedly approached Hua Guoqiang, asking the Xia Empire to exert its influence as a great power, maintain stability in Asia, reduce the suppression of Japan, reduce the garrison of the Qing Dynasty, criticize the conservative policy of the Xia Empire, the army is used for offense, not defense, and even hinted many times that the $200 million aid provided by the United States has already reached the treasury of the Xia Empire, and it should fulfill the original promise to the United States.

Germany was also opposed to the Xia Empire sending troops to be stationed in the Great Qing Kingdom, although it did not enter the German sphere of influence for the time being, but it is difficult to say what will happen in the future. The German ambassador to Shangjing also approached Hua Guoqiang many times, hoping that the troops stationed in southern Xinjiang could occupy the Indochina Peninsula and expel the British and French forces; At the same time, he supported the Xia Empire in recovering the Russian-occupied lands in the Far East, anyway, he did not want the Xia Empire's army to be only responsible for defense, but to actively attack.

At present, Japan is only content with domestic construction, and in particular, it has to complete the construction of several battleships and battlecruisers under construction as soon as possible, join the active service as soon as possible, and actively cooperate with the United States and Britain in building factories and developing industries in Japan.

In short, the Xia Empire sent troops to the Great Qing State, threatening the interests of all countries in the Great Qing State, and they all hoped that the Xia Empire would withdraw its troops. Even within the Qing Dynasty, there were many people who opposed the Xia Empire's occupation of the frontiers, and the students in Shanghai held rallies and marches under the organization of well-intentioned people to resolutely launch military action against the Xia Empire; A protest was held in Wuhan against Xia Empire products, and students in Beijing organized a siege of the Xia Empire's embassy to demand that the Xia Empire's troops withdraw from the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

These activities made Wu Wenbin extremely embarrassed, Zhang Wei was in a very bad mood, could it be that he did something wrong to relieve the crisis of the Qing Dynasty?

Lu Weimin suggested that after occupying the Americas, all the frontier areas would be transferred to Yuan Shikai, and even Hainan Island would be gone, and all the investment would not be wanted, and now that the goal of being able to upgrade to the imperial level has been achieved, it will not make much sense to continue to occupy these territories, and it is easy to arouse the disgust of the Chinese, so that it will affect the current immigration speed.

Zhang Wei acquiesced to Lu Weimin's suggestion, and in the future, there will be less muddy waters on the mainland.

At the same time, the consuls of Britain, France, the United States, and Russia also met many times to discuss the danger of sending troops to the Xia Empire to garrison the Qing Kingdom. The British Foreign Secretary also telegraphed with the French Foreign Minister and the US Secretary of State on many occasions, hoping to make a joint move again to purchase the battleships in the hands of the Xia Empire, which would not only weaken the Xia Empire's naval strength, but also strengthen its own navy, and make up for the shortcomings of the slow construction speed.

Now the Xia Empire's speed of installing 2 battleships per month has made all the great powers feel a lot of pressure, even Germany, Italy and other countries also want to continue to buy Lanfang-class battleships and battle cruisers from the Xia Empire.

The price of the battleships sold by the Xia Empire is not high, and they have just joined active service, so it is very cost-effective to buy them now.

After learning of these news, Zhang Wei asked the General Staff to announce that the temporary production plan for battleships and battlecruisers was only scheduled until the end of the year, and that such battleships and battlecruisers would no longer be produced in the future, which was too costly, and the Xia Empire could not afford to raise so many warships.

If all the battleships and battlecruisers were sold, it would not only make money, but also reduce the hostility and defense of various countries against the Xia Empire; Zhang Wei handed over all this matter to the General Staff to carry out. (To be continued.) )
