Eric, the representative of the United Kingdom, saw that Simon, the representative of Germany, and Dennis, the representative of the United States, did not express their position on the possibility of war with Lin Daxin by the seven countries, so he said agitatedly: "Gentlemen, you must know that if the seven countries really work together, and the Dingbei Army and the Northeast Navy under Lin Daxin are powerless to resist us, we will get more than what is on the secret agreement at that time, think about the most prosperous provinces in Lin Daxin's territory, Fengtian Province, Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province, where how much wealth awaits us, There is also the rich south of the Qing Dynasty, the capital of the Qing Dynasty full of treasures, our 7 countries should formulate a charter, form an alliance to deal with Lin Daxin, and decide how much benefit will be obtained in the future according to the amount of each country's contribution. ~Top Novel, x."

Eric's meaning is not just to support the Xingzhong Society, but to point the finger of 7 countries directly at Lin Daxin.

In fact, the plan of the 7-nation alliance to deal with Lin Daxin was planned by Eric, and the representative of France, Pierdons, has communicated in private, and today these two people are just a double reed performance.

And Eric is scheming to deal with Lin Daxin, and is even ready to pull in 7 powerful countries in the world, because he wants to avenge his 2 younger brothers.

Eric's two younger brothers were originally young and promising British Royal Navy officers, but all of them were killed in the naval battle with the Northeast Navy more than 2 years ago, which made it difficult for Eric, who had a deep affection for his two younger brothers since he was a child, to accept it, and finally now Erick found an opportunity, not only became the representative of the British sent to Fujian Province to support the Xingzhong Society, but also let him plan a conspiracy specifically against Lin Daxin.

Lin Daxin never imagined that there was such a Briton who was deliberately trying to put him to death.

"Agreed!" "Agreed!"

France's representative Pierdons, Russia's representative Yarosvich, Italy's representative Terry Wind, and Japan's representative Nobuyuen Aoki. They all agreed with Eric.

Eric continued: "Mr. Simon, Mr. Dennis, the seven of us don't represent the whole country. You can send back to Germany and the United States the information about the alliance we are going to form, and I am sure that your country will be tempted by this alliance. ”

The representative of France, Pirdons, also said: "Mr. Simon, Mr. Dennis. What a great opportunity this is, and I'm sure your country will agree. ”

Simon, the representative of Germany, hesitated and asked: "If we form a seven-nation alliance against Lin Daxin, does it mean that we will start a war with Lin Daxin immediately?" ”

Eric paused for a moment and said: "It is impossible for us to start a war with Lin Daxin immediately, we need our countries to mobilize forces to the Qing Dynasty, I personally prefer to support the Xingzhong Society to occupy several provinces in the south of the Qing Dynasty, maybe in this process, Lin Daxin himself will come to the door." ”

Dennis, the representative of the United States, asked: "What if Lin Daxin does not meddle in the affairs of the southern provinces of the Qing Dynasty?" ”

At this time, the representative of France, Pierdons, said with a smile: "That's better, our countries can divide the southern provinces of the Qing Dynasty, so that the country can see the benefits brought by the seven-nation alliance to their respective countries." Invest more strength to prepare to carve up Lin Daxin's wealth. ”

Simon, the representative of Germany, and Dennis, the representative of the United States, glanced at each other, it was a lie that the two of them were not impressed by Lin Daxin's wealth, so the two of them nodded slowly, and whether the country agreed to directly start a war with Lin Daxin and join the 7-nation alliance, they thought it was still very possible, with the strength of the 7 countries, this was a grand ceremony to share the cake.

Eric, the representative of the United Kingdom, finally smiled and said: "Since the representatives of our seven countries have reached a preliminary consensus, the next step is for us to convince our own country." Send more forces to the Qing Dynasty here! Gentlemen, perhaps history will remember that the seven of us led a just war, a war that would benefit our respective countries enormously. The seven of us will become heroes in our respective countries. ”

The representatives of the seven countries then sent back to their respective countries the news that they were preparing to form a seven-nation alliance to carve up the Qing Dynasty and Lin Daxin's forces, and this news caused a lot of shock in the seven countries, and several countries immediately raised their hands to support the seven-nation alliance.

In the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan. Japan's current Prime Minister Saionji Koto, the proud protégé of the former Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito. After telling Emperor Meiji about the Seven-Nation Alliance, he continued to say excitedly, "Your Majesty the Emperor. This is the best opportunity for our great Japanese empire to take revenge, there are Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Russia and Italy, these six powerful countries stand with us, Lin Daxin's death is not far away, and our great Japanese empire must not miss this feast of partition! ”

Emperor Meiji also stood up excitedly, walked back and forth in front of his desk a few times, and made up his mind to say: "Send a telegram to Aoki Xuanjun in Fuzhou City immediately, telling him that I have agreed to join the Seven-Power Alliance, and that our Japanese Empire will do its best to support the war against the Qing Dynasty and Lin Daxin." In addition, Saionji-kun, immediately upload my order, so that the army and navy will immediately enter the first level of combat readiness, and you can agree with the army and navy how much strength our Great Japanese Empire can invest to join the 7-nation alliance. ”

Saionji Gongwang pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the alliance will determine the future benefits according to the amount of contribution of each country, and the minister believes that our Great Japanese Empire should invest the greatest strength, mobilize the entire main force of the United Fleet, as well as the strength of no less than 30 army standing divisions, into this feast. ”

Emperor Meiji hesitated slightly, then nodded in agreement, Japanese representative Aoki Xuanjun was the first to receive a domestic endorsement of the establishment of the seven-nation alliance, Aoki Xuanjun sent a telegram back to China did not use half a day, he received a reply from the Japanese prime minister, it can be seen that Japan is eager to take revenge on Lin Daxin.

In the following days, the representative of France, Pierdons, the representative of Russia, Yaloswich, and the representative of Italy, Trifhand, all received the matter of agreeing to the alliance of seven countries in China, and the three countries would show considerable strength to come to the Qing Dynasty.

These three countries also have a deep hatred for Lin Daxin, and with this opportunity for revenge, the three countries are willing to seize this opportunity.

Simon, the representative of Germany, and Dennis, the representative of the United States, also received domestic replies that although the two countries agreed to form a seven-nation alliance, the strength that the two countries were ready to invest in the Qing Dynasty was not large.

Only the United Kingdom, which initiated this initiative, has not yet replied, which makes the British representative Eric very anxious, and has already sent several telegrams to the United Kingdom.

However, unexpectedly, one more country took the initiative to join the alliance, that is, Austria-Hungary, which was an allied power.

Austria-Hungary was dragged over by its ally Italy, and one of its other allies, Germany, also agreed, after all, it was a brother in the trenches, and it was not indispensable for his own brothers to participate in this feast.

And several other countries also fully agree with the accession of Austria-Hungary, a European power, and now wait for the attitude of Britain, as long as Britain nods, the seven-nation alliance, no, it should be the eight-nation alliance will be formed.

At the British Prime Minister's official residence at 10 Downing Street in London, England, the new British Prime Minister Arthur? Belfort brought the Admiralty Fisher and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lansdowne, to their offices.

Arthur? Balfour said: "Sir Eric in Fuzhou of the Qing Dynasty sent another telegram, Austria-Hungary has taken the initiative to join the alliance against the Qing Dynasty and Lin Daxin, plus the original six countries have agreed to join, this alliance has been formed, and now only our British attitude is missing." ”

The Marquis of Lansdowne frowned and said: "The most potential enemy of our Britain is Germany, and although the Germans agreed to join the alliance against the Qing Dynasty and Lin Daxin, the Germans did not promise to invest too much strength in the Qing Dynasty, if we Britain join the alliance, it is bound to need to invest a very large force, after all, we have too many interests in the Qing Dynasty in Asia, but Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army and Northeast Navy are not decorations, and they will start a war with Lin Daxin in an all-round way, or with the help of other countries, our losses will not be small." ”

Admiral Fisher said: "But this is an opportunity to re-establish order in Asia, and our Royal Navy is willing to fight the Northeast Navy again, and our Navy's new all-steel battleship, which is full of heavy guns, is about to enter service, and it will definitely surprise the Northeast Navy and even the world's navies at that time." ”

The Marquis of Lansdowne asked, "Could it be the all-steel battleship the Dreadnought, which cost so much?" ”

Fisher said proudly: "Although the Dreadnought costs a lot, its appearance will become another revolution in the main warship of the world's navy, it is definitely a cross-era battleship, and the battleships of our British Royal Navy will all be this kind of dreadnought!" ”

Prime Minister Arthur? Balfour said at this time: "For the alliance between the Qing Dynasty and Lin Daxin, we Britain must participate, but the affairs of the Germans must also be taken seriously, so let's do it, Marquis of Lansdowne, your Foreign Office and Germany will talk about the affairs of the alliance, and hope that Germany will join this alliance and assume the responsibility in line with Germany's strength." ”

Finally, after the communication between Britain and Germany, Germany promised to send more land and warships to the Qing Dynasty to participate in the war, Germany also considered the position of the two comrades-in-arms in the alliance, plus the strong approval of the German Emperor Wilhelm II, he believed that in this partition feast, Germany should not miss this good opportunity, Germany needs to get more colonies in Asia in this partition.

With Germany's commitment, Britain immediately announced that it would join the alliance against the Qing Dynasty and Lin Daxin, and thus an alliance of eight countries was formally formed, and the main goal of this eight-nation alliance was to carve up the territory of the Qing Dynasty and Lin Daxin.
