Chapter 1373 Peace Alliance
Thunderous applause sounded in the banquet hall. Almost no one would think that the imperial emperor insisted that he would win in the future war. Neither the imperial people nor foreign monarchs and missionaries had such a view. After all, from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the Chinese Empire had too great advantages. Even if the countries of the Holy Alliance were all tied together, they could not confront the Chinese Empire.
After the speech of Emperor Long Yufei of the Empire ended, the banquet began. The young people who could not hold back had long been dancing in the dance floor with their dance partners. As for the old men, they lost their interest in this area. They gathered in a circle and talked about topics of interest. Senior officials such as Lin Zihao, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet, began to contact the heads of government of various countries, communicated and exchanged opinions, and ensured that tomorrow's meeting could be successful.
According to the agenda, the Cabinet will be led by the government and other countries tomorrow. The Empire hopes that these invited countries can join the Empire-led alliance and continue to stand on the side of the Empire and fight against the Holy Alliance in the next war.
The emperor of the Empire, Long Yufei, also communicated with other monarchs. The monarchs of various countries were both envious and awe of the power of the Chinese Empire. In their minds, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Long Yufei, has become the most powerful person in the world.
The Imperial Crown Prince Longhua also deals with members of the royal family in various countries. As the Imperial Crown Prince, he is now twenty-one years old. He graduated from the Imperial Army University with excellent grades and obtained the rank of lieutenant. If the war breaks out, he will participate in the battle as a second lieutenant of the Imperial Army and be responsible for commanding a platoon. Of course, the rank may be increased by then and become an officer like the deputy company commander.
The empire emperor Long Yufei firmly believed that as the future heir of the empire, he had to go through the battlefield experience. Otherwise, he would not be able to control this huge empire in the future. As for security issues, Long Yufei believed that the General Staff would arrange it and would not let him go to a place that was too dangerous. If he really died in the war, there was no way. Long Yufei believed that as the prince of the empire, Long Hua would not be so short-lived. He traveled through this world and changed the fate of the nation. God would have to bless his descendants.
Fortunately, Longhua is much more powerful than his old man Long Yufei, at least in terms of offspring. Longhua, who is only twenty-one years old now, is already the father of three children, two men and one woman, which has gradually grown the imperial family.
The next day, the alliance meeting was held at the Imperial Prime Minister's Office. Prime Minister Lin Zihao and Foreign Minister Wei Yuan attended. The heads of government and diplomatic officials from various countries who were invited to attend also attended the meeting. In fact, they had already guessed the theme of the meeting.
"Everyone, there is no need to say anything extra. The current international situation is becoming increasingly tense. The establishment of the Holy Alliance seriously threatens the Empire and your interests. It also poses a threat to the current world order. It can be foreseeable that in the near future, war will break out. The Empire hopes that you can unite with the Empire and jointly deal with the adverse situation in the future. Germany, Britain, Russia and the Kingdom of Italy have established the Holy Alliance, and the Empire also hopes to establish an alliance to fight against it!" Lin Zihao said.
Senior officials from all over the world nodded. Establishing an alliance is naturally stronger than fighting alone. Moreover, except for the Chinese Empire, the rest of the countries have no strength to confront the Holy Alliance. Only by relying on the strength of the alliance can we do so.
"Everyone, once the war breaks out, your countries will be attacked by the Holy Alliance first. There is no need to say more about this. Forming an alliance with the Empire will not bring any harm to all countries!" Wei Yuan also said.
"The Kingdom of Spain is willing to form an alliance with the Chinese Empire to jointly respond to the threat of the sacred alliance. Once a war begins, the Kingdom of Spain will fight with all its might until the best victory of the war is won! During the war, the army and navy of the Kingdom of Spain will unconditionally accept the command of the Chinese Empire!" The Duke of Valencia, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, was the first to respond. As a die-hard ally of the Empire, the interests of the Kingdom of Spain have long been tied to the Empire. They also know that only the whole thing is left.
Only by striving to win this war can you gain benefits in the future. If you fail, the consequences will be unimaginable. In military terms, the Kingdom of Spain is obviously not as powerful as the Chinese Empire and is not as professional. Then, entrusting military affairs to the Chinese Empire to lead is the best choice. The Kingdom of Spain only needs to work hard and wait for the victory of the war. Of course, this is mainly because the Kingdom of Spain has great trust in the Chinese Empire. This is the new mission that everyone has accumulated over 20 years.
Although everyone knows that it is inevitable to form an alliance with the Chinese Empire. However, everyone is still surprised by the statement of the Spanish Kingdom. This is completely equivalent to handing over all the troops of the Spanish Kingdom to the hands of the Chinese Empire!
"The Kingdom of Belgium is willing to become the most loyal ally of the Chinese Empire, and our army will completely obey the command of the Chinese Empire!" Belgian Prime Minister Charles Rozer also said. The Kingdom of Belgium is also a die-hard ally of the Chinese Empire. Although its status is not as high as that of the Kingdom of Spain, it is not far from that of the Kingdom of Spain. Originally, the Kingdom of Belgium wanted to make the first statement, but unexpectedly, it still allowed the Kingdom of Spain to take the lead.
"Very good. With the full support of the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, we will definitely win the war in the future!" Lin Zihao said excitedly. The Spanish and the Belgians are really superior. They are worthy of being the Imperial iron allies! It is not in vain that the Empire has always supported them. Not only did it proactively express its intention to form an alliance with the Empire, but it also handed over the command of the army. This undoubtedly saved the Empire a lot of effort!
The statements of the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium made other countries a little depressed. They had no objection to forming an alliance with the Chinese Empire, but they did not want to be as straightforward as the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium.
But now, with the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium taking the lead, can they have other options? If there is reservation, wouldn’t it be that the Chinese Empire think they have other ideas?
"The Kingdom of Afghanistan is absolutely obeying the orders of the Chinese Empire, and the 500,000 Afghan army will completely obey the orders of the Chinese Empire!" Prime Minister Ahmadi Desno immediately said. The Kingdom of Afghanistan was originally a country supported by the Chinese Empire. How could it not obey the orders of the Chinese Empire? However, they did not expect that the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium would be so straightforward.
"The Republic of Ireland is willing to obey the command of the Chinese Empire! Win this war!"
"The army of the Kingdom of Scotland is fully under the command of the Chinese Empire!"
Brian, Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the Republic of Ireland, and Fidel, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Scotland, naturally did not dare to have any other objections. Otherwise, wouldn’t that mean they were unwilling to accept the leadership of the Chinese Empire? In that case, the consequences would be very serious.
Lin Zihao and Wei Yuan were very satisfied with everyone's performance. Moreover, everyone's simplicity was beyond their expectations. Their eyes fell on Perez, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Chile and Mustafa Rest Pasha of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Only the two of them had not yet expressed their opinions.
"The Republic of Chile is willing to become an ally of the Chinese Empire. However, the Republic of Chile is too small and is far away from the Eurasian continent. The role it can play in this war is very limited. However, the Republic of Chile strives to safeguard the interests of the empire and allies in South America. Ensure that during the war, the empire and allies can obtain the various materials and mineral resources needed from South America!" Perez said.
Lin Zihao nodded. The national strength of the Republic of Chile is too small. In addition, the Holy Alliance has no allies in South America. Chile's only role is probably the rich mineral resources in their country. Whether it is copper or saltpeter, it is a necessary war material in future wars.
"The Ottoman Turkish Empire has no plans to form an alliance with other countries. So I'm sorry, we cannot join the alliance led by the Chinese Empire!" said Mustafa Rest Pasha.
At the Berlin Conference, the German Empire invited the Ottoman Turkish Empire to join the Holy Alliance, but the Ottoman Turkish Empire chose to refuse. They wanted to continue to wait and see. Now, they still did not intend to accept the invitation from the Chinese Empire. After all, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire were tense and almost started a war. The top and bottom of the Ottoman Turkish Empire had already salivated the Persian Gulf. If they joined the alliance led by the Chinese Empire, wouldn't it be equivalent to actively giving up their interest in the Persian Gulf? What's more, this time when they attended the Chinese Conference, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was just perfunctory. Neither the Sultan Abdul Maijid I of the Ottoman Turkish Empire nor the Chief Pasha Ali came to participate.
"Okay, the Empire expressed respect for the choice of the Ottoman Turkish Empire! However, the Empire hopes that the Ottoman Turkish Empire can consider it carefully!" Lin Zihao said.
Mustafa Lester Pasha nodded, saying nothing more.
The next day, the representatives of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Afghanistan, the Republic of Ireland, the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of Governance signed the Union Treaty and officially formed a peace alliance!
