Chapter 847: The London Conference

~6 min read 1,099 words

"It is truly rare for Nikolai to be able to come to Langtun in person this time. It seems the Ross country has also sensed the threat this Yan Wang poses to its northern territories." Ashley looked out toward the street through the fifth-floor window, the corners of her mouth lifting.

In the current Western Lands, Britain and the Ross country are in a period of hegemony between two powers.

Both sides are wary of each other.

If it were an internal matter of the Western Lands, the Ross country would never have sent anyone to London.

Nikolai coming in person this time is extraordinary.

Besides this, France, Folangji, and Stedan will also be active in this conference.

After all, like Britain, they have significant interests in Dongtu.

Only by remaining consistent with Britain in their actions is there hope of preserving their interests in Dongtu.

"However, the Hansi Country only sent an ordinary diplomatic official." William frowned.

Ashley did not care in the slightest; she said, "Hansi is solely focused on unifying the nearby small Germanic states and is not interested in anything else."

For her, the core of this Western Lands conference remains the countries that have direct interests in Dongtu.

As for the other Xitu Guo, most are merely embellishments, serving only to bolster the momentum.

Of course, if a few countries were willing to send troops, she would naturally welcome it.

"That is indeed the case." William shrugged.

He then took out his Pocket Watch and glanced at it, "Your Majesty, the time for the conference is almost here."

Ashley nodded, turned, and walked out, with William following closely behind.

Under the protection of guards, she took a carriage toward Baining Jie.

There is a conference center there, specifically used for holding meetings between Xitu Guo.

Arriving at the conference center, Ashley and William walked inside.

At this moment, a group of national monarchs and heads of state were already waiting.

Ashley and William arrived and took their seats in their designated places.

To her left was Emperor Nikolai, and to her right was the French Prime Minister, Theodore.

The positions they sat in revealed the current strength and status of their three countries in the Western Lands.

Of course, the rugged-faced and tall Nikolai beside Ashley would never admit that the Ross country is weaker than Britain.

However, because Britain is the host, he sat on Ashley's left hand out of courtesy.

"Thank you for coming." After a round of pleasantries and diplomatic etiquette, Ashley's expression suddenly turned serious. She said, "My Diplomatic Minister, Nuohan, should have already revealed to you what is happening in Dongtu. Inviting you here today is to discuss how to deal with the threat from Dongtu."

She paused and said, "Due to the rise of this brutal vassal king in the north of Dasong, not only are the interests of Britain, the Ross country, France, Folangji, and Stedan suffering the most severe threats, but if it continues to develop, the entire Western Lands world, the world of the white race, will face a Yellow Peril."

In the prepared speech, she specifically added the two words "Yellow Peril."

Because there was once a grassland monarch from Dongtu who, over a thousand years ago, led his iron cavalry to destroy what was then their greatest empire.

People at the time believed they were the whip God used to punish them.

Therefore, they called them the Scourge of God.

This history is recorded in the histories of the Xitu Guo.

But as Westerners ran rampant across the world, dominating the world and the oceans, they no longer considered that history a punishment from God, but rather a catastrophe.

The term Yellow Peril appeared subsequently as a form of insult toward the Easterners.

After speaking, she looked at the crowd, gauging their expressions.

To her disappointment, except for the Ross country, France, Folangji, Stedan, and the Sam Country.

The representatives of other countries seemed uninterested; only Bolan and Yiluo Guo, who have close relations with Britain, were listening seriously.

It is also possible they believed that Britain and the Ross country, these great Western powers, could solve this problem without them.

Furthermore, these landlocked countries have no interests in Dongtu at all.

Naturally, they are unwilling to travel ten thousand miles to fight, nor do they have the capability.

However, just as she had thought, these countries were merely embellishments.

Therefore, she immediately smoothed over the unpleasant emotions in her heart.

"The specific issues were detailed enough by Nuohan; what should be discussed now is how to solve this problem and what actions to take." Nikolai leaned back in his chair.

He has always been straightforward in his actions and does not care whether Ashley is happy or not.

This time, he came to Britain holding his nose.

Otherwise, unless the Ross country's army stepped onto British soil, he would never be willing to come here.

But compared to his disgust for Britain, he cares more about the vast territories the Ross country has conquered in the East.

However, he did not place all his bets on Britain.

He had already sent a diplomatic minister to Dasong to meet with Yan Wang.

If Yan Wang could guarantee the Ross country's interests in Dongtu, he would also be happy to see Yan Wang fight with Britain.

Therefore, he is actually hedging his bets.

Theodore nodded, "Emperor Nikolai is right, I agree."

Compared to Britain, their relationship with the Ross country is better.

After all, they have common interests in dealing with Britain.

Of course, their relationship with Britain is not very bad either, because they also need to cooperate to deal with the Ross country and prevent its expansion.

He then looked at the Sam Country Secretary of State, Milai, and smiled.

Among these Xitu Guo, their relationship with the Hansi Country is the worst, and their relationship with the Sam Country is the best.

"We must take action immediately. Yan Wang has already seized our Folangji colony; who will be next?" Just then, the Folangji King, Herman, suddenly stood up, his expression agitated.

At the moment, the one most afraid is Folangji.

Because Yan Wang has already cut off a piece of flesh from Folangji.

And they still have a piece of meat, which is Luzon of Dongtu, right by the mouth of Yan Wang.

For Yan Wang to want to eat it, it would be as easy as turning over one's hand.
