Chapter 1156: Conflict

Frank, Paris.

The news of the Ross state establishing diplomatic relations with the Great Song also stirred up a massive storm here.

Frankish Prime Minister Theodore immediately dispatched diplomatic officials to Britain to probe Britain's attitude.

Around the same time, the Frankish Kingdom, the Stedan state, and Yiluo Guo also sent their own diplomatic officials.

For a time, the diplomatic officials of various countries became the busiest people.

Then they received an assessment of the Ross state from Britain—Western Lands traitor.

Afterwards, the kings and heads of state of various countries set off one after another for Britain to participate in the Third Western Lands Conference held by Britain.

Unlike the previous two conferences, the atmosphere of the Third Western Lands Conference was exceptionally heavy.

The rise of the Great Song had already given them a headache, and now the Ross state had chosen to betray them, which undoubtedly made things worse for the Western Lands.

"The Great Song has refused to negotiate peace with us, which means the Emperor of Great Song is full of ambition for our overseas colonies, and it also means that the war between us will not stop; for this reason, we must fight," William said.

Because of his health, Prime Minister William was responsible for appearing at this conference.

When the kings or prime ministers of the sixteen countries were all seated, William stood up and began his speech.

And the kings and prime ministers of the various countries looked at William with serious expressions.

Compared to the number of countries that participated in the Coalition last time, more Western Lands countries participated in this conference.

Including Britain, Frank, Folangji, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Stedan, Switzerland, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Austria, the Kingdom of Hungary, Poland, the Kingdom of Lithuania, Yiluo Guo, and the Papal States.

Among these countries, there were clearly more countries from the east and north of the Western Lands; they were either bordering the Ross state or were very close to it.

They were not interested in the last expedition because they did not have many interests overseas.

But when it came to dealing with the issue of the Ross state, they could not afford to be careless; the Ross state was right next to them.

Historically, their deep-seated grievances were very profound, and it could be said that they were full of fear toward the Ross state.

The already terrifying Ross state had suddenly abandoned its alliance with the Western Lands countries and chosen to establish diplomatic relations with another rising Eastern rival; they could not even sleep soundly.

No one could be sure what would happen next.

If the Great Song exported muskets and Artillery to the Ross state, they would be in trouble.

Over these years, with Britain's support, they had caused no shortage of trouble for the Ross state, once thwarting several of the Ross state's strategies and preventing the Ross state from moving westward.

The Ross state's development toward the Far East was precisely the reason for the failure of its western strategy.

"After the Great Song refused our peace talks, it established contact with the Ross state. As for what deals they reached in secret, we do not know, but this is definitely not good news. The Ross state, having gained the support of the Great Song, will become even more powerful and become a factor of instability in the Western Lands, endangering our security," William continued.

His words were impassioned; although he spoke as if he were thinking of other countries, his true purpose, just as Ashley said, was merely to use the Western Lands countries' fear of the Ross state to unite the other countries around himself.

After he finished speaking, applause erupted in the conference room.

Especially the kings and prime ministers of the northern and eastern countries like Poland, Sweden, and Finland were the most excited.

On the point of opposing the Ross state, they supported Britain wholeheartedly.

"We should go and understand Nikolai's thoughts. They might have an exchange of interests with the Great Song, but they may not necessarily act as a thug for the Great Song," a person said at this time; he was the King of Prussia, Frederick.

The King of France, Theodore, nodded.

Although the matter of the Ross state establishing diplomatic relations with the Great Song made him feel worried, he was also unwilling to see the Western Lands reignite the flames of war.

William noticed Theodore's expression.

He knew very well that in terms of opposing the Ross state, the Western Lands countries of the north and east would stand firmly with Britain.

The countries in the center leaned toward Britain's ideas,

but they had their own thoughts to a slight extent.

And the countries in the south were unwilling to participate in this matter.

But because the southern countries all had colonies in the outer seas, even if not for the Ross state, they would unite around Britain in order to oppose the Great Song.

Therefore, his most important task was to handle the major Western Lands powers in the center, including Frank and the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Are you willing to see the Ross state grow strong with the support of the Great Song and become the most powerful country in the Western Lands?" William asked, staring into the eyes of Theodore and Frederick.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"That's right, and what Nikolai is thinking is already very clear. Just six days before this conference was convened, Ross state soldiers crossed the Polish border and massacred a village of Polish people. Now, the border between Poland and the Ross state is on the verge of war," William said in a deep voice.

In the time before the conference was convened, it had been enough for them, Britain, to cooperate with Poland and create an incident.

Under Britain's instigation, a team of Polish soldiers changed into Ross state military uniforms to carry out this action.

Afterwards, Poland used this as an excuse to let its army cross the border and implement a large-scale retaliatory action, killing many Ross people.

This was the real reason for this incident.

However, these kings might never know the truth.

But he believed that the conflict that had been ignited would definitely allow them, Britain, to achieve their goals.
