Germany's victory over Britain in this diplomatic war made Britain diplomatically isolated, and there was a gap between Britain and the Russian Empire and other allies, so that Kaiser Wilhelm II and Moltke of the General Staff felt the importance of Germany in world affairs and could play an increasingly important role, so they burst with self-confidence and decided to continue to implement the original established policy, to take advantage of the decline of Britain and France to catch up, catch up with Britain, France and Russia, and dominate Europe.

In order to maintain stability in the Persian Gulf region, Russia increased its control over northern Iran and prepared to deploy heavy troops south of the Caucasus Mountains and Central Asia in order to guard against the Xia Empire.

In order to appease the excesses of the Russian Empire, Hua Guoqiang assured the Russian Imperial Ambassador to Beijing Rochevsky that the Xia Empire's garrison in Afghanistan would not exceed the strength of one division, and the purpose was only to maintain the security of the lines of communication and regional stability, and not to deliberately make enemies of the Russian Empire.

Of course, the Russian Empire would not fully believe in the Xia Empire's show of weakness, they were just angry that Britain, as an ally, did not even inform the Russian Empire of such a major event.

The British Prime Minister was under pressure at home and abroad, and was rated by the British as the worst government in British history.

The British cabinet held successive meetings, meditated and brainstormed, and came up with several strategies to counter the Xia Empire, unite all European countries, jointly deal with the Xia Empire, and plan to mend relations with European countries to avoid Britain being isolated.

First of all, from a military point of view, continue to promote the "Yellow Peril Theory", and take the number of troops of the Xia Empire as the basis, just in Asia, the Xia Empire has arranged 40 armies, more than 2.4 million people, as well as 5 armies of Qi State, nearly 2 million troops of Lu State, and a very powerful navy, all European countries should unite to resist the military pressure of the Xia Empire and prevent the Xia Empire from breaking down the white European countries; The Chinese have a population of nearly 500 million, and can organize tens of millions of troops at any time, and it will not affect their economic construction when fighting abroad, which is an advantage that all European countries do not have.

Secondly, from the economic aspect, the Xia Empire occupied many colonies in the world and did not open the market, which was the root cause of this European crisis, calling on European countries to unite and force the Xia Empire to open its domestic market; The Xia and Chinese empires occupied the largest area of land in the world and had a large population, and if the Xia and Chinese empires did not open their domestic markets, the economic crisis of the European countries would never have been eradicated;

Third, from the technical aspect, the Xia Empire has the most developed military technology in the world, and for the sake of fairness and justice, the Xia Empire is forced to hand over all military technology for the benefit of mankind;

Finally, to play the emotional card, the reason why Britain formed the Four-Power Alliance was all for the benefit of all white people in Europe, as long as the Xia Empire was defeated, European countries could re-divide the world and occupy huge markets and sources of cheap raw materials.

The Cabinet instructed the Foreign Office to act swiftly to reverse Britain's passivity.

Sir Grey, the foreign secretary, lived up to expectations, not only summoned the ambassadors of European countries to Britain in London to counter the Xia Empire with the four strategies formulated by the cabinet, but also asked the British ambassador to Shangjing, Anderson, to convene the ambassadors of European countries in Shangjing, and at the same time to publicize the four strategies of Britain, and called on all white countries to unite and work together to deal with the Xia Empire.

This time, Italy chose to listen to the British threat theory and prepared to increase the number of troops stationed in Italian Somalia to guard against the Xia Empire.

For the Russian Empire, he also knew the Xia Empire's greed for land and strong military strength without the British explanation, and they would have a big war with the Xia Empire sooner or later, but now the situation in Europe is not stable, and their roots are in Europe, and they must stabilize the rear of Europe before they can gather the strength of the whole country to fight a decisive battle with the Xia Empire.

The Ottoman Empire knew that Britain and the Xia Empire were not easy countries to deal with, but the Xia Empire seemed to be more civilized, as long as they didn't provoke him, they never took the initiative to attack other countries, but the Xia Empire was more violent, as long as they provoked him, the country was basically destroyed, and they didn't pay attention to any international practices at all, so it seemed that it was better to befriend the Xia Empire.

Small countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, and Portugal both hated the selfishness of Britain and were powerless in the face of the Xia Empire, and if they wanted to regain the colonies from the Xia Empire, they could only follow behind Britain, and there was no other way, which was the helplessness of small countries.

Britain's series of foreign policies have achieved very good results, and European countries have realized that since the rise of the Xia Empire, they have continued to fight and encroach on the land of surrounding forces, and have now become the country with the largest land area in the world, and its strong military strength is definitely not something that a single European country can contend with, the most obvious example is the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Belgium, all the colonies were robbed by the Xia Empire.

With the efforts of the ambassadors of various European countries in Beijing, they quickly reached two strategies: first, to divide the relationship between the Xia Empire and the Chinese Empire, Japan, Qi, Lu and Yue, as long as the support of the Chinese was lost, the Xia Empire would become a source of no water, and the Xia Empire would not be afraid of a population of less than 20 million, and after defeating the Xia Empire, the Chinese Empire would not have the advanced military technology and economic strength of the Xia Empire, nor would it be an opponent of European countries; Second, send spies to plot and support the Koreans and indigenous people in various places to rise up in rebellion, resist the rule of the Xia Empire, and weaken the military power of the Xia Empire.

The German ambassador felt that Britain's strategy was right, but it was not suitable for the current Germany, Germany's established policy was to first defeat Britain, France and Russia, dominate Europe, and then take similar measures to unite all European countries against the Xia Empire. In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, it is in the interests of Germany to join forces with the Xia Empire to suppress Britain and France and other countries, and it is also in line with the ancient wisdom of the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, this time, the Germans decided after discussion that they would neither support the Xia Empire nor the United Kingdom, and would sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, hoping that the two countries would continue to wage war, and it would be best for Britain, France, Russia and other countries to unite to confront the Xia Empire, no matter what the result was, it would be a very favorable situation for Germany.

Kaiser Wilhelm II also had to admire the sophistication of British diplomacy, which was able to crack the efforts of the Germans in a few easy moves, and to make the European countries more united than before, which Germany did not currently have. (To be continued.) )
