PS: The second update is here! Sorry, this chapter was supposed to start first. Thank you for the monthly pass of book friend A Yun Mengzawa A, tears of the dance!

The signing of the "London Treaty" made some people happy and some worried. This is especially true of the Americans, who are in a defeated country. The war is finally over, and the United States does not have to lose its country. However, what worries us is that in this war, the United States has lost more than 2 million yuan of national territory. Originally, he wanted to occupy the 2.3 million square kilometers of land purchased by the Chinese Empire from the Republic of Mexico, but he didn't expect to put more than 2 million square kilometers into it.

In addition, in the war, the casualties of the US military and the number of captured troops are as high as millions, and the casualties of civilians are as high as millions. America's finances collapsed even more because of the war. The heavily indebted U.S. government simply cannot support the day-to-day operations of the government. They owe the British more than 30 million pounds for loans and unpaid arms supplies!

It can be said that this war has caused the United States to lose completely. If the war is not ended, they will pay an even greater price, and may even be wiped out. Although the current situation is very unfavorable for the United States, in general, the United States has finally retained, which gives the United States a chance to re-emerge. After all, in this war, the United States was only forced to agree to these humiliating conditions and sign the "London Treaty". The Americans will not be willing to lose, and when the time comes, they will inevitably launch a counterattack.

In this war, the Chinese Empire was undoubtedly the biggest winner, not only recapturing 2.3 million square kilometers of land occupied by the United States. It also included several states in the western United States into its own rule at once. The war reparations of 10 million pounds could not make up for the losses in the war, but it could be regarded as a supplement to military spending. Western North America. Although the geographical conditions are not as good as those in the central and eastern regions, they are also within the acceptable range. If the empire had emigrated to North America, it would have been no problem for these lands to accommodate 20 million people. This will further reduce the population of the empire itself. Reduced to 300 million people. In this way, the population pressure will not be so great.

The Kingdom of Spain was in the midst of this war. The harvest is also quite large. They lost the fewest troops on the battlefield, but gained 720,000 square kilometers of land. These territories, close to the coast. The soil is fertile and the climate is pleasant. It can make millions of immigrants to the Kingdom of Spain. This will enable the Kingdom of Spain to recover more quickly and become a world-class power as soon as possible.

At the London Peace Conference, the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain advanced and retreated together. It has also further strengthened the relationship between the two sides. Although France turned its back on its allies. So that the alliance of China, France and Spain no longer exists. However, the threat posed to the Chinese Empire was very limited. The Chinese Empire had long known that its alliance with France would not last long. It is better to part ways with France now than to be stabbed by the French at the most critical moment. Whether it is the Chinese Empire or the Kingdom of Spain, they will be wary of France after this incident.

France was undoubtedly the most disproportionate of the three victorious powers. The French army is on the battlefield. More than 100,000 people were killed or wounded. However, they only got Maine, Wimote, New Hamp, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The total area is only 168,000 square kilometers. Much less poisoned land than the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain had gained. However, the states that France has acquired are all industrially developed states in the northeastern United States. The industry here is well developed and densely populated. Even when the U.S. government moves the population of these states to other regions, it will leave behind a good industrial base, good transportation facilities, and so on. When French immigrants arrive in the region, France's industrial strength will grow a lot. This will be of great help to improve France's national strength.

Of course, this time the North American War and the London Peace Conference. This was the end of France's alliance with the Chinese Empire. For France, there are pros and cons. Previously, France and the Chinese Empire had formed an alliance against the British. The cooperation between the two countries has brought many benefits to France. France's military strength, in particular, has been greatly improved. Both the weapons of the army and the warships of the navy have developed by leaps and bounds. After betraying the Chinese Empire and turning to Britain, France did not have to worry about pressure from Britain. However, Charles. Louis. Napoleon. President Bonaparte was not a man who was willing to be left behind. It is impossible for France to act as Britain's little brother, which makes the relationship between France and Britain very inseparable.

The successful conclusion of the London Peace Conference greatly enhanced Britain's influence in the world. Once again, it has proved to the world that Britain has influence around the world. It shows that Britain is still the most powerful country in the world. More importantly, through the peace conference, Britain successfully separated the alliance between China and France, and effectively alleviated the pressure brought by the Sino-French alliance to Britain. In addition, by co-opting the United States and France, Britain did not have to face the pressure of the rise of the Chinese Empire on its own.

On the evening of September 14, 1848, the British Foreign Secretary, the Earl of Granville, went to the Prime Minister's Office to report to the Prime Minister, Earl Stanley, on the situation of the London Peace Conference. Overall, so far, this peace meeting has come to a successful conclusion.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the London Peace Conference has ended. North America, once again, has restored peace. However, our adversary, the Chinese Empire, gained great benefits at this peace conference. Their territory in North America is already more than 3.5 million square kilometers. It's not much less than us. It is foreseeable that in the future, Chinese will definitely move to North America like ants. I seem to have seen that tens of millions of Chinese have landed in North America through guò shipping. That's not a good thing for us! Count Granville said with some concern. A British colony of Canada, with a vast area. However, most of the area is geographically harsh and uninhabitable. The most populous place is just the side close to the United States. At present, the total population of Britain's Canadian colonies is only a little more than a million, far from being comparable to the United States, let alone the Chinese Empire, which is about to begin large-scale immigration.

"Your Excellency, how can we compare the population with the Chinese Empire? Is this possible? According to our latest figures, the population of the Chinese Empire is close to 400 million. This is more than ten times the total population of the British Empire. The huge population made the Chinese Empire have a great advantage in terms of military strength. They can easily arm an army of millions. Earl Stanley said.

Even though the war has entered the era of hot weapons, the number of troops is still an extremely important factor in determining the outcome of the battlefield. The Chinese Empire had the largest population in the world and was also able to arm the largest number of armies. In this regard, other countries cannot be compared with the Chinese Empire.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. However, we need to prepare in advance. The industry of the Chinese Empire was developing rapidly, and although it was not yet comparable to that of the British Empire, the gap was rapidly narrowing. We need to be soberly aware that the industrial development of the British Empire has taken hundreds of years to the present. And the Chinese Empire, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, has only been more than ten years old. Their development potential and speed are amazing! The Earl of Granville continued.

Earl Stanley nodded, and he had to admit that the Chinese Empire was indeed the largest and most threatening enemy of the British Empire. If there is any country that can seize the world hegemony of the British Empire, it is the Chinese Empire.

"Your Excellency, do you have anything good to do in order to deal with the threat of the Chinese Empire?" Earl Stanley asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this London Peace Conference is undoubtedly a good start. The Americans lost the war in this war, which made them extremely hateful to the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain. What would they do if we could support the development of the United States, once the United States was restored to a more powerful military position? Retaliation will certainly be taken against the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain. In this case, it is very beneficial to us! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Supporting the United States is indeed a good way! Earl Stanley said approvingly.

"In addition, the French were also the victors of this war. However, compared to the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain, the French gave and received completely disproportionately. I believe that the French are also very dissatisfied with this. Coupled with the fact that during the war, the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain sat idly by and watched France fall into the siege of the American army and did not come to the rescue, which made the French very angry. Their alliance with the Chinese Empire has also existed in name only. As long as we can give them some benefits, we may be able to successfully win over France. The Earl of Granville continued.

"Your Excellency, you must know that the French president, who claims to be the successor of Napoleon the Great, is not so easy to deal with. He also has great ambitions. Earl Stanley said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Shire. Louis. Napoleon. President Bonaparte, with great ambitions. People all over the world know this. However, if we steer his ambitions, this could turn into a catastrophe for the Chinese Empire. Said the Earl of Granville.

The Earl of Stanley agrees with this statement.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I propose that we strengthen ties with the United States and France and form an alliance of Britain, France and the United States!" The Earl of Granville said. (To be continued......)
