The establishment of the Xia Empire, the military parade of the Xia Empire, and the speeches of the Xia Empire Emperor brought too much information to the guests from all over the world, and they quickly fed back the information they thought was the key to the country, and the newspapers of various countries also added fuel to the fire, and the whirlwind of the Xia Empire blew all over the world.

The first to convey the news to the country was Chekovsky, the ambassador of the Russian Empire, the Lanfang Kingdom was renamed the Xia Empire, and the emperor was called Shenwu the Great, whose age is unknown, and it is estimated that he is no more than 20 years old; announced that a 5.2 million army and 500,000 navy would be created; The royal family of the Xia Empire will bear all the costs of the empire's army, education, medical care and scientific research, which shows that there is a force behind it, and it shows the strength of the force, please check it as soon as possible.

Tsar Nicholas II of the Russian Empire gasped when he saw the telegram, with an army of more than 5 million, it would be difficult for the Russian Empire to organize so many troops even if it was all over the country, unless it made the finances bankrupt; Now that the domestic turmoil is continuing and the external pressure continues to increase, it seems that the expansion of the army is imperative, and it is a question of how much to expand the army; There is also a notice to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that relations with the Xia Empire must be strengthened, and there must be no peaceful coexistence, and there must be no conflict.

The content of the telegrams received by other great powers is very similar, and they feel that the power behind the Xia Empire is very large, so big that it is beyond people's imagination, and it must be a puppet to launch such a young person as an emperor; However, the Xia Empire has risen, and it is difficult to suppress it by force, so they have adjusted their diplomatic strategies against the Xia Empire.

While the countries are busy expanding their armaments and warfare, the work of finding the forces behind the Xia Empire has not stopped, but no matter how hard the intelligence personnel of various countries try, they have not found any clues.

With the exception of the United States, other countries generally strengthened the monitoring and management of Jews, implemented a strict registration system, restricted many jobs they could do, and even stipulated the scope of their residence.

Newspapers from various countries also contributed to the fire, and it was the Xia Empire that was supported by the Jewish people behind it, which posed a great threat to Western countries, and they all belonged to traitors and must be severely punished.

The Russian Empire even arrested some of the rich Jews, confiscated their property, and expelled some unemployed Jews, which not only calmed the anger of the people, but also allowed the government to obtain a large amount of wealth and alleviate financial difficulties.

Britain held a cabinet meeting dedicated to the affairs of the Xia Empire, at which the Prime Minister spoke first: The Xia Empire had risen to replace Japan as a new member of the Great Powers, and it would be a serious threat to the British Empire. And the telegram sent by the ambassador to Beijing was circulated for everyone to circulate to deepen your understanding of the Xia Empire.

Sir Edward Grey was the first to see the telegram, and he had been pondering it ever since, but he had come up with a solution, and that was the League.

Since the League was short of funds and was expelled by Japan, some people went to Hong Kong, and some people went to Thailand and Singapore and other Indochina Peninsula regions, Britain and France chose to ignore these people at the same time, feeling that maybe that day would be valuable, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, since the Qing Dynasty and the Xia Empire are so disgusted with the League, there may be a day of cooperation in the future, so Britain and France did not expel the members of the League.

Now Sir Edward Grey thought of a way to play the role of the League, to go to the Qing Dynasty and the Xia Empire, actively recruit new members, carry out assassinations, carry out uprisings, organize opposition organizations, and destroy the stability and peace of the Qing Dynasty and the Xia Empire.

Sir Edward Grey's statement was unanimously endorsed by the Cabinet, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer offered to set aside a sum of money to support their actions.

In the end, the matter fell to Sir Anderson, the governor of the Straits Settlements, to secretly support the development and growth of the members of the League, preferably to seize power in the Qing Dynasty, or to cause the Qing warlords to divide and fight, support the natives to make trouble, develop Chinese members, and carry out anti-feudal movements within the Xia Empire.

The opinion of the Admiral is that it is only a small conspiracy, the important thing is to improve one's own strength, and in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are futile; To remain undefeated in the face of the Xia Empire, it is necessary to strengthen the navy, as long as the navy does not fail, the army is safe, otherwise, the Far Eastern Army will be completely annihilated.

The British Empire is a naval hegemon and a maritime power, and everyone understands this truth very well, as for the support, that is, the government increases funds, builds new battleships, and expands the fleet; Now in the face of the threat of the Xia Empire in the Far East, in the face of the rise of Germany in Europe, the existing navy is simply too weak.

Now the British Empire is at a crossroads of history, with the challenge of the German Empire inside, and the strong rise of the Xia Empire outside, to the right or to the left, to the right, then the British Empire is the next Kingdom of the Netherlands, the next Spain, will be quickly driven down from the position of the maritime hegemonic empire, to the left, will be the new birth of the British Empire, to suppress the challenge of Germany and the Xia Empire, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the navy, Blockade the German Navy in the Inland Sea and unite all the Entente powers to jointly deal with the Xia Empire, after all, the Xia Empire is challenging the entire Western world.

The Parliament successfully approved the Navy Enlargement Programme and the Fiscal Allocation Programme, and now with full financial support, it is necessary to double the pace of development of the Navy.

The British Foreign Office and the Admiralty actively contacted the French and Russian Empires, as well as the United States, to try to buy all the existing battleships and battlecruisers of the Lanfang Kingdom.

Now the most feared is the Japanese, at the beginning Hua Guoqiang said, half a month can not reach an agreement to occupy Shikoku Island, if a month can not reach an agreement will attack Honshu Island, and the Xia Empire will soon expand the army to more than 5 million, the navy 500,000, Japan can not defeat no matter what, there are too many Chinese in the world, as long as there are weapons, it is too easy to build an army.

Now the whole of Japan is immersed in sadness, to blame can only be blamed on the original strategic mistakes, I have long known that the Chinese country is a sleeping lion, since it is a deep sleep, there will be a time to wake up, but I did not expect that they will be so terrible after waking up, if they had directly faced the Russian Empire or Spain and the Netherlands in the South Seas, there would not have been the current end.

Prime Minister Nishijien Gongwang has resigned as prime minister many times, but now no one dares to take it, so he has to continue to suffer in this position.

None of the cabinet members had a good idea, and Emperor Meiji could only arrange for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to keep the state of Japan no matter what, and it was worth it no matter how much it cost.

As for the Americans, the benefits this time were not small, first of all, the threat of Japan was eliminated, and secondly, because of the anti-Jewish policy of Western countries, many Jews fled to the United States and brought a lot of wealth, which was really a windfall.

But after a Japan, the rising Xia Empire was stronger and more threatening.

President Roosevelt's decision was to continue to provide financial support to the Xia Empire, supporting them to occupy all of Australia and occupy the Indochina Peninsula, which was a traditional vassal region of the Chinese, which was more important to the Chinese than the Philippines; And support them in a conflict with the Russian Empire, feeling that the report of the ambassador to Beijing showed that the Xia Empire was very unfriendly to Russia, which was a favorable condition that the United States of America had to take advantage of.

President Roosevelt ordered the Secretary of State: "Convey what I just meant to Ambassador Johnson to Beijing, and give another $200 million in gratuitous aid to the Xia Empire, so that they can continue to suppress the British, French, and Russian empires; Full support for the Xia Empire's cessation conditions against Japan. ”

After Zhang Wei received a report from Intelligence Minister Li Minmin on the response of various countries, he laughed out loud, and his goal was finally achieved.

Let's make the First World War come earlier and more violently! (To be continued.) )
