Since August 29, when the Xia Empire's troops landed on the Malay Peninsula, the British ambassador to the Xia Empire has repeatedly gone to Foreign Secretary Hua Guoqiang to ask why the Xia Empire suddenly attacked the British colonies, but Hua Guoqiang has been avoiding it.

More information then came that British Burma was under attack by the Xia Empire, and the Australian Federation was attacked by the Xia Empire.

The colony of French Indochina was attacked by the Xia Empire.

The British and French islands in the Pacific were attacked by the Pacific Fleet of the Xia Empire.

More and more bad news made Ambassador Anderson nearly collapse; The same fate was shared by the French ambassador to Shangjing.

Finally, on September 11, when the war was in full swing, Hua Guoqiang did not meet with the British and French ambassadors under Zhang Wei's instructions.

Ambassador Anderson was so anxious that he had no regard for diplomatic etiquette, and the news of the past few days had made him feel that the end of the world had come, the Commonwealth of Australia had surrendered, the British Burma Governor had surrendered, the Governor of the French Indochina colony had surrendered, and the garrisons of many islands in the Pacific had surrendered.

After seeing Hua Guoqiang in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Xia Empire, Anderson asked in a loud voice: "Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, why did the Xia Empire attack the colonies of Britain and France for no reason?" This is not in accordance with international law. ”

Foreign Minister Hua Guoqiang knew that the imperial army had an absolute advantage in several battlefields, and now only Singapore was left untaken, but it was a matter of time before Singapore was occupied without reinforcements, so he said with a pleasant face: "Your Excellency the two ambassadors, please don't get angry, anger won't solve any problems, please sit down!" Let me explain to you the reason, Britain and France and their colonies have continuously attacked overseas Chinese and imperial merchants, resulting in many merchants' shops being robbed, many imperial merchants being brutally killed, and the empire has repeatedly lodged diplomatic protests to the two countries, but the two governments have ignored this; After the Xia Empire's vassal state Lu carried out an action to protect overseas Chinese, the Xia Empire urged the two countries to apologize to the victimized merchants and make reasonable compensation, but the two countries still ignored them; The empire could not bear it anymore, so it could only choose to take up arms and personally protect the interests of the empire's merchants; Is there something wrong with that? Isn't that in accordance with international law? ”

Seeing that the British and French ambassadors did not speak, Hua Guoqiang continued: "Mumbai, Yangon, Singapore, Saigon, Hanoi, Kuching, Melbourne, Sydney and many other places have reported that imperial merchants have been attacked, but what measures have been taken by the two countries? The empire has repeatedly lodged strong protests, have the two countries taken it seriously? This is all yesterday's cause, today's effect, no wonder others, can I understand this by saying this? ”

The British and French ambassadors did not get anything substantial, but only reported Hua Guoqiang's words to the foreign ministries of the two countries.

And the foreign ministries of Britain and France, after learning of the war, urgently summoned the ambassadors of the Xia Empire to the two countries, and the answer was the same.

In fact, after the war began, Britain and France acted quickly, and the two countries lost so many colonies, and they were rich colonies, they decided to fight back, otherwise the Xia Empire would gain an inch; Britain did not want to lose the Indian colony, which created great wealth for Britain every year, so Britain was the most active.

Britain and France signed a military agreement as early as 1904, and there was a certain basis for cooperation, so Britain and France quickly reached an agreement to jointly send troops, and at the same time, the two countries actively lobbied other European countries to attack the Xia Empire together, and actively promoted the "Yellow Peril Theory", hoping that all white countries would jointly send troops to carry out a yellow and white showdown.

But the white world is not monolithic, each with its own concerns and goals.

The Netherlands and Belgium suffered heavy losses in the hands of the Xia Empire, although they were afraid of the Xia Empire, but the British and French took the lead, giving them great confidence, especially the Netherlands, who are now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, decided to send troops together to form a four-nation alliance, but the Netherlands and Belgium are just soy sauce goods, purely making up the numbers.

The German Empire, the Kingdom of Italy and Austria-Hungary are the three Allied Powers, so naturally they will watch the excitement and will not participate in their military operations.

As far as the Russian Empire was concerned, they were very afraid of the strong military strength of the Xia Empire, and it would be good for the Xia Empire not to attack him, so they rejected the British and French requests to send troops on the grounds that the government was in financial difficulties, that it needed to prevent serfs from making trouble, that it had more than enough defense in the Far East, and that the attack was insufficient.

Germany and Russia did not think that Britain and France could win, and if they estimated that they could win, they would join the coalition without scruples to gain benefits, but the Xia Empire never fought uncertain wars, and went from Europe to Asia to confront the Xia Empire, the battle line was too long, and the possibility of winning was too small.

Spain and Portugal, on the other hand, were not harmed by the Xia Empire and had no incentive to send troops; Besides, if they send troops, it means that the Xia Empire can't fight Europe, they can occupy the territory of South America, where there are a lot of grapes, Spanish people and descendants, the two countries have major interests in South America, and they don't want to get the Xia Empire's retaliation, so the two countries refused to send troops.

For the Kingdom of Portugal, they also have a piece of leased land, Macao, which is right next to the mouth of the Xia Empire, even if the Xia Empire does not eat it, it can also be eaten by the Chinese Empire, so he does not dare to contradict the Xia Empire now.

For Denmark, Norway, Sweden and other small European countries, they have no motivation to attack the Xia Empire, and they are also afraid of the Xia Empire's retaliation, the Xia Empire now occupies North America, and it is easy to send a navy to attack their country afterwards, so they have rejected the requests of Britain and France to send troops.

The British and French ambassadors to the Chinese Empire actively lobbied Yuan Shikai to withdraw the Xia Empire from the territory of the Chinese Empire, put an end to the migration of the Xia Empire, and promised the Chinese Empire many benefits.

The minds of Britain and France were that without a huge source of soldiers, the Xia Empire would become a source of water.

Yuan Shikai is a human spirit, without the support of the Xia Empire, he would not be able to get to his current position, without the help of the Xia Empire, the Chinese Empire would not have the ability to expel the forces of Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Japan and other countries from the mainland, so that the Chinese Empire has become an independent country, no longer angry with foreigners, and has obtained huge benefits, and the Xia Empire has so many troops stationed around, it can clean him up at any time. So while dealing with the British and French ambassadors, he asked Cao Rulin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask the Xia Empire how to deal with it.

Zhang Wei was very satisfied with Yuan Shikai's attitude, and replied to him that the benefits would be accepted, and the rest should be decided by the Chinese Empire itself, and hinted that the Chinese Empire could take the opportunity to recover the Hong Kong lease.

This made Yuan Shikai very happy, the Xia Empire ate meat, and the Chinese Empire drank soup, which was also a good treatment; Moreover, the Xia Empire let them recover the Hong Kong lease land by themselves this time, which was a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself, and the recovery of Hong Kong had huge economic benefits, which made his good impression of the Xia Empire rise a lot.

Britain and France also sent ambassadors to Japan to actively lobby the Japanese government to take back the mercenaries of the Xia Empire, or join the Anglo-French alliance to jointly deal with the Xia Empire.

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang is now completely pro-China, only with the support of the Xia Empire, his prime ministership has been sitting for so long, and has gained greater rights than before, now he does not dare to oppose the Xia Empire, otherwise, the garrison of the Xia Empire can enter his prime minister's residence with just one charge, and the Xia Empire is easier to change the Japanese prime minister than to drink cold water, and there are many people who are willing to accept the position of prime minister.

Therefore, the mercenary garrisons were too scattered, and each brigade was surrounded by several times the officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire, and the weapons and equipment were very poor, and they were not the opponents of the officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire; Moreover, there were more than ten reinforced regiments of the Xia Empire in Japan, and Japan did not dare to move lightly; Among other reasons, Saionji refused the request of the British and French ambassadors.

As for the British and French ambassadors sent to lobby the United States, they directly ate a closed door, the United States is now surrounded by the Xia Empire, and they have learned the strength of the Xia Empire's army, and the United States wants to develop in South America needs the assistance and materials of the Xia Empire, that is, not to occupy Brazil, the United States also needs a huge amount of food supply, at present, only the Xia Empire in the world can provide such a huge amount of food, so the Americans dare not go against the Xia Empire; Moreover, the Americans had long seen through the cowardice and incompetence of the British and French governments, and it was obviously too late for the Americans to think of resisting until they had already been beaten up like this.

While Britain and France were actively engaged in diplomatic mediation, the diplomats of the Xia Empire were not idle.

After receiving the telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Wu Wenbin went to meet with Yuan Shikai, and in addition to hinting that he could recover the Hong Kong leased land, he also promised Yuan Shikai that starting in July next year, the Xia Empire would prepare to withdraw from the Southern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region, where there was no longer a threat from Britain and France, and there was no need for the Southern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region to exist, so that he could be ready to receive it.

This is even more unexpected than Yuan Shikai, it seems that the Xia Empire is indeed a responsible power; Gradually recovering all the land and unifying China, it was his dream, and he did not dare to mention it to the Xia Empire before, but now the Xia Empire defeated the British and French garrisons in the south, and after eliminating the threat, he took the initiative to return the southern provinces to the Chinese Empire, which strengthened his determination to keep up with the Xia Empire.

After receiving the report from the West Temple Garden Gongwang, Zhang Wei felt that he was very knowledgeable, and since this was the case, he gave them a little sweetness, and decided to withdraw 4 reinforced regiments from Tokyo and let them return to Shangjing to station in Beijing to form the 41st Division of the Praetorian Guard.

Nishijien saw this as his diplomatic victory, which gave him hope that Japan would gradually free itself from the military control of the Xia Empire, and strengthened his determination to follow in the Xia Empire's footsteps.

Yu Beimin, the ambassador of the Xia Empire to Germany, paid a special visit to Kaiser Wilhelm II to publicize the consistent foreign policy of the Xia Empire, people do not offend me, I do not offend people, the Chinese are a peace-loving nation, the Xia Empire is a peace-loving country, and they are willing to coexist peacefully with the German Empire forever; And it is hoped that there will be more exchanges with Germany in the economic and military fields to achieve mutual benefit.

The Kaiser did not believe in the nonsense of the ambassador at all, but he was still very interested in strengthening economic and military exchanges between the two countries; In his heart, sooner or later there will be a war between the Xia Empire and the German Empire, but not now, now the Xia Empire has not endangered the interests of Germany, besides, now Germany cannot do without the economic and military support of the Xia Empire; After the Xia Empire crippled Britain and France, he could easily defeat Britain and France and dominate Europe.

With regard to the Russian Empire, the Xia Empire's strategy was to promote peaceful coexistence and jointly maintain peace and stability in Asia.

For the United States, Mexico is now being handed over, and the north has been handed over, and the Xia Empire promised that as long as the handover of Mexico is completed on time, the Xia Empire will assist the United States with a large number of weapons and food. The United States now has no choice but to go all the way to the dark.

With its strong military strength, the Xia Empire deterred many countries, and at the same time implemented targeted measures against each key country, making most of the British and French propaganda ineffective and sabotaging their plot against the Xia Empire. (To be continued.) )
