Chapter 1127: Foreign Affairs Department

"We should focus on consolidating our base in Dongtu and let the soldiers rest."

Withdrawing his gaze from the world map, Zhao Xu said this softly.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly thought of something, cast his eyes toward the direction of the Ross country, and the corners of his mouth suddenly lifted, revealing a slightly cunning smile.

In his heart, he already had a diplomatic plan to stir up the Western Lands.

He believed that once the Ross people learned the results of the Battle of Tianzhu, they would be willing to cooperate with him.

Of course, if Emperor Nikolai refused to cooperate, he would also have ways to make him willing to cooperate.

Over the next three months, Zhao Xu focused on the internal affairs of Da Song while keeping an eye on the situations in Tianzhu and Zhongtu.

Just as he had expected, the kings of the native states in Tianzhu did not follow Qin Shan's orders to pledge their loyalty to him within three months.

They still harbored some wishful thinking in their hearts.

Judging from the intelligence provided by the Supervision Four Courts, the native kings had a tendency to unite, wanting to drive the Da Song army out of Tianzhu through war.

After all, the policy Britain had implemented over these years to nominally integrate Tianzhu into a single country had finally had some effect.

Regarding this, Zhao Xu not only felt no anger, but instead felt secretly pleased.

In his view, rather than the Tianzhu native kings paying lip service to him, it would be better to have a swift and decisive battle.

Only in this way, through this war, could the people of Tianzhu truly recognize their position and understand that Da Song was an existence even more untouchable than Britain.

Therefore, he ordered Qin Shan to watch the changes quietly and wait for the coalition of native states resisting Da Song to formally march toward Calcutta before annihilating them in one fell swoop.

Besides the direction of Tianzhu, there were also changes in the direction of the Tusman Empire.

The defeat of the Western Lands Allied Forces in Tianzhu clearly had a great impact on the Tusman people.

After entangling with Chang Wei's Central Army and Chen Hu's Gun Cavalry in the Tianshan region for nearly half a year, the Tusman Empire chose to withdraw its troops.

Overall, it meant that once another battle of bullying the weak was fought in Tianzhu, there would be no major wars in these two directions.

The soldiers' tense nerves could also be relaxed.

At the same time, seeing that the timing was ripe, Zhao Xu summoned the Diplomatic Minister of the Foreign Affairs Department, Dong An.

Over these years, the Westerners had been stirring up trouble in Dongtu, creating problems for him ever since the internal chaos in Da Song began.

Now, it was time for him to create trouble for the Western world.

This meant choosing a Western country to act as Da Song's thug in the Western world.

And as for this country, he believed that the most suitable one at present was undoubtedly the Ross country.

First of all, to traditional Western countries like Britain, the Ross country was just like the Northern Di were to Da Song—a bunch of barbarians.

The mentality of most Western countries when facing the Ross country was one of precaution.

In the current Western world, many countries were united around Britain to counter the Ross country.

In fact, before the rise of Da Song, the keynote of this world was the confrontation between the Western countries led by Britain and the Ross country.

As long as the Ross country expanded its territory in the Western Lands, it would inevitably be met with a head-on blow from the countries led by Britain.

On this point, the interests of Frank and Britain were also consistent.

As for the Ross country, its desire to expand its influence into the Western Lands was obvious.

He did not believe that the Ross country realized the importance of the Extreme North Snow Plains yet.

Its invasion to the east was mainly because it could not make any headway in the direction of the Western Lands.

If he offered conditions that satisfied the Ross people, letting them abandon the vast snow plains east of the Ural Mountains so they could contend for hegemony with Britain in the Western Lands.

He believed that Emperor Nikolai would not necessarily refuse this temptation.

Of course, this was all his personal speculation.

Afterward, he still needed to see the feedback from the Foreign Affairs Department.

If diplomatic means were useless by then, he would have no choice but to resort to military means, letting the Black Tortoise Army advance into the snow plains and push all the way to the Ural Mountains.

Thinking of this, he said to Dong An, who had entered the study with a face full of anticipation, "I want you to make a trip to the Ross country; do you have the guts?"

Upon hearing this, Dong An was stunned for a moment, then said solemnly, "Does the Emperor not trust his subject? Back then, I escaped death several times in the Southern Region and have seen all kinds of storms. At that time, Da Song was still precarious, but now our Da Song is rich and its army is strong, so where is there that I cannot go?"

After a pause, he continued, "Furthermore, the Foreign Affairs Department has been established for so long, and I and the officials of the Foreign Affairs Department have been hoping to show our skills. Even if this trip is through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, I will go."

Zhao Xu smiled and nodded, "Rest assured, there will be more and more opportunities for you to show your skills in the future."

This time, sending Dong An to the Ross country was also a countermeasure to Britain's offshore balancing strategy.

An eye for an eye.

There was no doubt that the defeat of the Coalition in Tianzhu would inevitably cause a huge shock to the Western world.

If the Ross country suddenly established good diplomatic relations with Da Song at this time, the Western countries would surely be even more panicked and restless.

At this time, if he were to extend an olive branch to Western countries like Britain, I am afraid they would scramble to establish diplomatic and trade relations with Da Song.

Of course, his ultimate goal was sinister.

On one hand, it was to obtain a market in the Western Lands to dump goods, using trade to drain the wealth that the Western world had obtained through burning, killing, and looting over these years.

On the other hand, it would also facilitate his use of diplomatic relations with every Western country to play Britain's offshore balancing game and obtain the greatest benefits.

At the same time, while the Westerners were preoccupied with their own troubles, he could execute another plan.

The goal of this plan was the Sam Country, which was separated from Da Song by the Pacific Ocean.

Soon, he would introduce a policy to support the restoration of the Indians, driving the Angsa of the Sam Country back to their own homeland, and would not give them the opportunity to find a corner to settle in and pick up cheap gains.
