Chapter 854 Resolution

"Oh, Nicholas, you can't fool me. No one wants to take back the land occupied by you Russians without war." Aisli smiled, as if she had expected Nicholas to be greedy.

"This is the fact, Your Majesty." Nicholas said seriously, "We are willing to exchange the Far East for India, but are you willing?"

"This is a very complicated question." Alice did not answer directly, but just made a fool of it.

At this time, her mood became worse again.

Compared to the first meeting, it is obvious that now is the most difficult time for the negotiations.

Nicholas obviously did not buy into Aisli's tricks. He continued, "In fact, my request is very simple. In addition to dividing the spheres of influence according to Ivan and Bolt, you must stop funding the Tusman Empire and recognize that Crimea belongs to the Russian State. "

Ten years ago, the entire Western Continent was in turmoil.

At that time, he seized the opportunity to try to seize the Crimean outlet.

But Britain joined the Franks and Tusmans to participate in the war.

The result of the war was that they failed.

After that, Tusmans became Britain's pawn to contain him in the East.

Aisley's face changed slightly, and almost blurted out "impossible".

If he did so, the relationship between Britain and Tusman would break down.

Their strategy in Middle-earth would fail completely.

As if he guessed what Aisley was thinking, Nicholas continued, "Middle-earth and East-earth, you will eventually choose to lose one."

"Nicholas, I know what you are thinking, you want to play the trick of asking for prices from both sides, but this time it's different, the King of Yan of Dasong may not buy your account." Aisley said, "Besides, do you think that only your country of Ross can eat both sides? We can also instigate him to seize your Far East first. "

Nikola was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Okay, okay, but if you destroy the King of Yan in Dasong, you will benefit the most, so you have to give us some compensation to Russia."

After thinking about it, he said, "Since Crimea is not possible, it is always okay to exchange some technology."

In fact, he deliberately proposed this condition that Britain could never agree to, in order to serve the following conditions.

In the eyes of the southern countries of Western Territory, Russia is just a barbaric country with backward civilization.

In fact, although Russia also has a steam industry, it lags far behind Britain in overall terms.

Many technical patents are firmly held in Britain.

"This matter can be considered." Aisli thought it was acceptable.

At the moment when the King of Yan in Dasong rose, he thought it was meaningless to occupy some technologies alone.

It is very cost-effective to spread technology, enhance the strength of the entire Western Territory, and then exchange technology for some benefits.

Thinking of this, he said to William, "You talk to His Majesty Nikola about the specific matters. "

Then, she walked towards the Frankish King Theodore.

She naturally had to talk to the other seven countries one by one.

After all, it might involve some exchange of interests, which should not be known to outsiders.

But compared to Nicholas, her subsequent negotiations with Theodore, Hermann, and Van Zesi were much easier.

They have major interests in the East, and there is no need for any exchange of interests. The only question is how many troops to send.

So, Alice and the other four stood up to discuss together.

"We Franks have 8,000 troops in Jiaozhi, and we can currently send a maximum of 15,000 people. This is the limit of our navy. ”

It is ten thousand miles from the Western Land to India.

After four months of sailing, the food, drink and defecation of these fifteen thousand people is a big problem.

They have many colonies in the Black Continent where they can get supplies.

But it is not easy to provide supplies for fifteen thousand people at once.

Because the people of the Black Continent are not as good at farming as the people of the Eastern Land. What they get most from there is ivory, spices, furs, wood and minerals.

Besides, they can't let the fleet go out in full force.

This time they chose to cooperate for the common good.

But the internal contradictions of the Western Land countries were not resolved.

They had to keep most of the fleet and troops in their homeland.

"We in Britain can send an expeditionary force of 20,000 people. In India, we can also recruit natives for training. As for the fleet, we can send more warships. "Aisley said.

Britain's most powerful force is the navy, and the mainland army is not large.

Because under the protection of the navy, even if the Western countries cannot land and fight in Britain.

Therefore, the current standing army of the entire Britain is only about 150,000.

When her worries are the same as Frank's.

They can't trust each other as much as they trust their left hand.

Overseas interests are important, but the interests of the West are more important.

"We, Portugal, will send 8,000 troops."

"We, Sterdam, will send 5,000 troops."

Hermann and Van Zesi expressed their opinions one after another.

The strength of Portugal and Sterdam is limited, and Aisley did not embarrass them because of this number.

Then, she went to negotiate with Austria and Hungary.

As a result, she was very angry. Austria was only willing to send 800 troops, and Italy was only willing to send 500 troops.

In her opinion, the two of them were just making up the numbers.

However, they also knew their own limitations and only wanted to obtain a small colony as a trading port after the victory of the war.

"Okay. "Aisley resisted the urge to roll her eyes and agreed to the two of them.

It is good to have the two of them to strengthen the momentum of this Eastern Expedition.

Finally, he arrived in Sam Country and Secretary of State Milley.

Compared with the West, Sam Country is indeed far away from them.

So their president did not come, only the Secretary of State came.

Facing Sam Country, Ashley had mixed feelings.

Like the love-hate relationship when a rebellious son teamed up with outsiders to bully.

Since Sam Country became independent, their relationship has been very cold.

"Mr. Milley, how is President Sullivan going to deal with this crisis in the East? It is said that your consul is still trapped in Japan." Ashley said.

Milley saluted Ashley and said, "Japan and Wu are both our allies. The president means to fight for our allies."

"Very good, this is the temper of us Ansa people. How many warships and troops are you willing to provide this time?" Ashley said.

Mile smiled, "We Sam will make our own decision on this matter."

Alice frowned when she heard this, although Mile's words were very rude.

But he knew that this was Sam's current foreign policy, isolationism.

Sure enough, Mile continued, "The president was very angry about the Japanese consul joining the East Earth Alliance without authorization, so, on the issue of East Earth, we can cooperate temporarily, but we will not join your alliance. We will take the most favorable actions for Sam with our own strength."
