By July 25th, the countries still did not reach an agreement, but the territory occupied by the Xia Empire became the territory of the Xia Empire by default, and the great powers did not agree to annex the land of North America into the Xia Empire, but asked for the establishment of a new country, according to their understanding of the Chinese, rather than the urine of the phoenix tail, as long as a new country was established, the Xia Empire would definitely be difficult to control, if the Xia Empire continued to garrison troops in North America, then the power would be dispersed, and the pressure on the current great powers would be much less; At the same time, they could co-opt the newly formed state and eventually gain full independence from the Xia Empire, similar to the situation when the United States was founded.

Another important issue is how to deal with the white people on the territory of the Xia Empire, the Xia Empire's demand is to move all to the territory of the Americans, and the Xia Empire's territory is not allowed to appear on the territory of the Chinese people, which caused strong opposition from all the delegates, Ambassador Li Jingfa proposed that if this article is not agreed, the Xia Empire will continue to launch military attacks, and the United States has no need to exist, because the Xia Empire left 13 states in the United States and did not occupy them. It is hoped that these 13 states will be used to house all the existing Americans.

The last issue that was not well discussed was that Britain, France, and Germany all hoped that the newly established country would implement an open-door policy, and that all countries should have equal interests, and that all the benefits could not be swallowed by the Xia Empire.

All the delegates felt that the Xia Empire was tougher than they expected, too domineering.

In order not to put too much pressure on Western countries and reassure them of infighting, although the Xia Empire also agreed to some requirements, such as not stationing battleships with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons in the Atlantic, and the total tonnage of warships also agreed not to exceed 200,000 tons, it is obvious that this cannot satisfy the appetite of various countries.

Zhang Wei was very angry at the ignorance of Western countries, and since so many countries could not pay attention to the declaration of war against the United States, he would add to the fire, so he ordered Xiao Xuguang to speed up the pace of occupying Alaska.

July is the summer season in Alaska, and the timing of this season to occupy Alaska is very good.

The Alaska region is located at the northwest tip of the North American continent, bordered by Canada to the east and surrounded by the Arctic Ocean, the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean on three sides.

Zhang Wei is not interested in Alaska now, but in his future, which is currently a huge area and can generate a lot of points every month.

In order to better occupy this huge land, Xiao Xuguang specially equipped this army with 3 brigades of Japanese mercenaries, plus 1 division of the Praetorian Guard, and 2 divisions of the National Defense Army, with a total strength of 72,000 people.

The commander of the army was Wang Kaiyun, the former commander of the 19th Division, who was originally stationed in Sapporo City, Ezo Province.

Zhang Wei appointed Wang Kaiyun as the governor of Alaska,

Governor Xiao Xuguang's plan was to set up the Governor's Palace in Ankezhongqi and divide it into three military divisions: northern, eastern, and southern; The Eastern Military Division was stationed in Juneau, the Southern Military Division was stationed in Kodiak, and the Northern Military District was stationed in Fairbanks.

After reading it, Zhang Wei felt that this plan could not highlight the key points, so he made adjustments, set up the Governor's Palace in Juneo, and stationed 1 division of the Praetorian Guard, 1 division of the Wehrmacht and 3 brigades of Japanese mercenaries in Juneau; 1 other division of the Wehrmacht, with the divisional headquarters at Ankezhongch, and 1 regiment of the Wehrmacht at Kodiak and Fairbanks; Kodiak served as a supply center for the entire Alaska region.

The strategic goal of the Governor General of Alaska should be Canada, and at the right time it was to occupy the western and northwestern regions of Canada, which would be connected to the territory of the North American High Command.

Governor Xiao Xuguang mobilized merchant ships in the Northern Theater to transport baggage and troops, and sent a fleet of 1 battle cruiser, 4 destroyers, and 8 fast torpedo boats to escort the troops.

The first troops arrived at the port of Kodiak on 28 July, carrying mainly food and other baggage, and first went to establish a foothold, and the first troops were led by a division chief of staff of the Wehrmacht, leading a regiment of Wehrmacht and a regiment of Japanese mercenaries.

Subsequently, the troops arrived one after another, and hired a large number of merchant ships to speed up the transportation of soldiers, and the second group of troops arrived directly to Juneau, southeast Alaska, where Wang Kaiyun was to establish the governor's palace, and deployed 1 regiment of Praetorian Guards and 1 brigade of Japanese mercenaries in the direction of the Canadian border.

By August 15, all the officers and men under the jurisdiction of the Alaska Governor's Office were in place.

At this time, the first to react was the United Kingdom, it seems that as long as the peace negotiations did not sign a treaty, the Xia Empire will never give up, if Britain continues to obstruct the peace negotiations between the Xia Empire and the United States, angering the Xia Empire, then the next target of the Xia Empire's attack may be the territory of the British Empire, the first to bear the brunt is Australia and Canada, these two places have been semi-surrounded by the Xia Empire's army, with their strong military strength, Australia and Canada can not stop the Xia Empire's army attack, The ending will not be much better than that of the United States.

In the past, whether it was Japan or Russia, the Eight-Nation Coalition was able to achieve a series of brilliant results against the Qing Dynasty, all by virtue of excellent modern troops and new equipment, and now the army equipment of the Xia Empire is more advanced than that of the army of Western countries, and its combat effectiveness is stronger, and no one in Western countries is willing to be the enemy of the Xia Empire for the time being, not to mention the powerful navy of the Xia Empire, and some intelligence shows that the battleships of the Xia Imperial Navy are now equipped with 343 mm main guns, which are temporarily powerless to resist the navies of Western countries.

Germany also saw the military intentions of the Xia Empire, and by occupying the Alaska region, it could exert pressure on Canada from two directions, which was the best opportunity to create contradictions between the Xia Empire and Britain, and for the sake of Germany's national interests, it took the lead in announcing that Germany supported any decision of the Xia Empire; Anyway, if the Xia Empire did not garrison a powerful navy in the Atlantic, it would not cause much military pressure on Germany.

Germany's decision was a drain on Britain and made them very passive, so the British Foreign Office authorized the ambassador to the United States to hold a detailed meeting with Ambassador Li Jingfa of the Xia Empire.

Eventually, both sides gave way, and the Xia Empire established a new state in North America; the restoration of the independent Kingdom of Hawaii; Non-Chinese personnel in the Xia Empire's occupied areas were free to choose whether or not to leave. Britain also no longer adhered to an open-door policy and abandoned the demand for an Indian and black kingdom.

Zhang Wei learned that the British had made concessions, and knew that it was caused by the pressure caused by the deployment of troops on the border by the governor of Alaska, so he asked Li Jingfa to continue to negotiate with the British representatives to sell the Canadian provinces of Yukon, Northwest Territories, and British Columbia to the Xia Empire, and the Xia Empire bid for three battleships with 343 mm guns.

Zhang Wei's purpose in doing this was to connect Alaska with the newly formed countries in North America on the surface, and the secret purpose was to put pressure on the world's naval arms race, perhaps the First World War would break out early, creating opportunities for the Xia Empire to seize more territory.
