Chapter 848: 8 Nations
"The next one will undoubtedly be our Stedan colony, then it will be Britain's turn, and after that, the entire Western Lands will face a threat." Stedan Prime Minister Fanzexi stood up at this moment, raising his fist, "In dealing with Dayan Wang of Dasong, we must be united."
After a pause, he continued: "Just as Her Majesty the Queen said, this is a Yellow Peril; let us join hands to face the enemy, just as we did a thousand years ago."
"We, Bolan, are willing to contribute." King Alagon of Bolan spoke up immediately, "A thousand years ago, when resisting the Grassland Empire, we, Bolan, were the leaders of the time; now, we are still willing to fulfill our duty."
Upon hearing this, a faint, imperceptible look of contempt appeared at the corner of Nikolai's mouth.
A thousand years ago, Bolan was indeed a powerful nation in the Western Lands, but now it was nothing more than a foot-binding cloth of the Western Lands.
What disgusted him even more was that Bolan had long relied on Britain to oppose their Ross country; it could be said that it was a nail Britain had driven into the doorstep of the Ross country.
In his view, these words from Alagon were more for the sake of cheering for Britain.
As for whether he would send Bolan soldiers to the Dongtu, it was doubtful.
"Bolan is truly a model for the nations of the Western Lands." Ashley praised, very satisfied with Alagon's stance.
Then she looked toward Dannuo Guo, Yiluo Guo, Aolixiong Guo, and Ruisi Guo, hoping that someone among them would also express their stance.
"My Yiluo Guo is willing to participate in this matter, but the premise is that we must obtain sufficient benefits. When we defeat Dayan Wang of Dasong and partition Dasong, we, Yiluo Guo, want a portion of the colonies." King Vituoliao of Yiluo Guo said, meeting Ashley's gaze.
Ten years ago, Yiluo Guo won in the war against Aoli Guo, recaptured the northern region of Yiluo Guo, and completed the unification of Yiluo Guo.
Afterward, Yiluo Guo gradually recovered its former strength.
However, by this time, the colonies in the world had basically been carved up by Britain, Frank, Folangji, and Stedan.
Therefore, they did not want to miss the Western Lands' encirclement and suppression of the Dongtu.
This was the reason he had come here.
"Of course, we will not treat our comrades-in-arms who fight together unfairly." Ashley was slightly excited; another Western Lands nation had joined them.
"If Your Majesty can honor the promise, we, Aolixiong, are also willing to contribute." Another voice rang out, making Ashley even more invigorated.
Aolixiong was once two countries in the Western Lands, but their main body, like Hansi Country, was Germanic.
Only twenty years ago, they, along with Yiluo and Hansi, and Frank, still belonged to a Holy Empire similar to a federation.
However, due to internal conflicts, the Holy Empire eventually dissolved.
After years of war, Aoli Guo and Hungli Guo eventually compromised with each other and were ruled by King Alagon.
The one speaking now was precisely Alagon.
The unified Aolixiong Guo became a powerful nation in the Western Lands and gradually showed some ambition.
These ambitions also included overseas.
At present, the relationship between Britain and Aolixiong was neither good nor bad.
They did not want Aolixiong to be powerful, but they also wanted to win over Aolixiong to oppose Frank.
And it was precisely such complex diplomatic relations that kept the entire Xitu Dalu in balance.
It allowed their Britain to obtain the greatest benefits by inciting conflicts between various countries.
"This time we will definitely be able to form the most powerful alliance in history." Ashley's tone rose.
She continued to wait for other countries to express their stance, but no one spoke again.
Even so, she was very satisfied.
Britain, Ross country, Frank, Folangji, Stedan, Yiluo Guo, Aolixiong, and Sam Country—the eight most important countries of the Western Lands were clearly interested in their initiative.
And in the Dongtu, their Dongying allies were still resisting Yan Wang, and the powerful clans in the south of Dasong also chose to rely on them.
The powerful Grassland emperor wandered between them and Ross country.
Although currently more inclined toward Ross country, she had confidence in winning the trust of the Northern Barbarians.
Besides this, their vast colonies and the indigenous people in the colonies were their slaves,
and naturally, they also obeyed their will.
Looking at the whole world, their power was so great.
As long as they united, this Yan Wang in the north of Dasong, although a meteor that had suddenly fallen for them, was destined to only flash by.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt at ease.
However, she also had regrets.
Originally, Britain could have swallowed the entire Dasong alone.
But now, he had to share it with the other seven countries.
Having confirmed the countries participating in the affairs of the Dongtu, Ashley chatted casually and discussed some affairs of the Western Lands.
Because she did not want to offend other countries at this juncture, she spoke about some trivial topics and then announced that this meeting had ended perfectly.
Everyone returned to their respective lodgings, and Ashley once again invited the seven countries to attend a banquet at Waterham Palace.
This was the highlight of the day.
She wanted to formally establish a small circle and exclude the countries that were unwilling to participate.
At the evening banquet, Ashley watched the nobles dance while casually discussing specific countermeasures with Nikolai and the others.
If there were no problems, they would reach a contract and take action as soon as possible.
"We, Britain, Frank, Folangji, and Stedan, as well as Sam Country, possess enough warships; we should establish a Joint Fleet and simultaneously dispatch troops from the Western Lands to Tianzhu, and advance toward Dasong relying on Tianzhu." Ashley said, "As for Aolixiong and Yiluo Guo, it would be best if they could send warships and Troop Transport Ships; if not, we will bear the transportation task."
After a pause, she looked at Nikolai, "As for Ross country, I think advancing toward the north of Dasong by land will save more time than taking the sea route."
"That is exactly what I have decided." Nikolai nodded, "Thirty thousand Ross country troops are already marching east."
This time, his Diplomatic Minister had set off together with these thirty thousand troops.
His purpose was naturally to protect the territory just acquired from the Northern Barbarians.
At the same time, it was also a deterrent to Yan Wang.
Yan Wang had agreed to the demands of Ross country, so these thirty thousand troops would not participate in the war between the Northern Barbarians and Dasong.
If Yan Wang threatened the territory in the Far East, these thirty thousand troops would join the Northern Barbarians, and even Britain and other countries, to participate in the war against Yan Wang.
"This is already the limit of the troops we can send to the Far East at present. You are aware that the Far East is freezing cold and lacks food, and gathering the troops already in the Far East is enough to reach a force of fifty thousand," Nikolai said.
Ashley nodded, just about to open her mouth.
Nikolai, however, suddenly said: "Then now it is time to talk about what your Britain can give to the Ross nation? After all, we can afford to lose the Far East, but you cannot afford to lose Tianzhu; this time, it is our Ross nation helping you."
