Another World: Naval Storm

"This is the Xunyang I want to see! Mr. Governor, we can ask the new Xunyang government to repay the debt!" Leo said with a smile.

"They have a lot of work to do, how can they afford to pay back? They even want to continue borrowing!" The governor thought Leo was going to criticize the new Xunyang government.

"Mr. Governor, you forgot that the Empire is preparing for war. Xunyang has many things!"

"Tung oil! The empire needs it very much. It is very suitable to use it to pay off debts!" ​​The governor said excitedly. Tung oil is in great demand in the military and mechanical industries.

"That's right, food and minerals are all fine! As long as we get them, we won't pay for them!"

"The situation on the Onebaroa continent is very bad right now. We need to transport more supplies back to our homeland!"

"Yes my lord, the whole world only needs a spark to be set on fire!"

The Kingdom of Tarun and the Republic of Fran have vast colonies throughout the world, while the rising powers such as the Drak Empire and the Republic of Yemelica are at a disadvantage in the competition for colonies. Economically, major market economies have experienced periodic economic crises, which further exacerbated the tension in international relations. In order to protect their own interests, the powers have formed a complex military alliance system. The Drak Empire, the Osmagali Empire and the Kingdom of Itli formed the Triple Alliance, while the Republic of Fran, the Rakshasa Empire and the Kingdom of Tarun formed the Triple Entente. The alliance system has maintained the balance of power on the Onebaroa continent to a certain extent, but it is also a competitive alliance system, which has laid hidden dangers for the outbreak of a world war. Yemelica has not yet intervened because it is isolated overseas.

The vibrant economy of the Drak Empire increasingly threatens the Kingdom of Talen's position as the world's commercial center. Although the two countries were once each other's best partners, they are now in direct conflict in many areas.

The rise of the Drak Empire challenged the maritime hegemony of the Kingdom of Tarun, and the conflict between the two countries continued to escalate. The conflict between France and Germany over the last war was not resolved, and the conflict of interests between the Rakshasa Empire and the Osmagali Empire on the Haimos Peninsula was also imminent.

"Sir, if war really breaks out, I will probably lead the fleet back to my homeland, and then you..."

"It doesn't matter, Leo. Qifeng Port can still hold out for a few more days relying on its defense. At worst we can just surrender... Of course, this is after I have done my best to serve the empire!" The governor said self-deprecatingly.

Now the Drake Empire's Far East Fleet has 3 battlecruisers, 7 cruisers of various types and various small warships. Leo is confident that although he cannot defeat Taren and Japan's fleets in the Far East, he has never been afraid of a war of commerce.

"In fact, the current Xunyang government intends to get closer to us!"

"I know, but we can't give them much help in the Far East, and there's a dog raised by the Taren people watching Xunyang!" Leo spread his hands helplessly.

"Yes, if it was two years earlier, we could have armed hundreds of thousands of Xunyang troops, and then the Taren people would be in big trouble!"

"There is a strong voice in Xunyang against Talun, and several wars have caused deep conflicts between them and the Japanese. I plan to suggest that the Empire sell some arms to the new government of Xunyang!"

"Arming Xunyang? It's too late, but it's time to clear out the empire's inventory!" They jointly reported to the mainland, intending to dump weapons to Xunyang. Xunyang also had a deep sense of crisis, so it readily agreed to the deal.

"You must agree!" Representative Taren arrogantly ordered a tall yellow-skinned man on the other side of the table.

"Impossible! Our government will never sign such a treaty!"

"You must know that without Taren's support, it would be impossible for the Yuandu people to unify Xunyang!"

"Hmph, let me tell you! Tibet and Fan are an inseparable part of our country, both now and in the future!"

"Then we'll wait and see!"

From October 1913 to March 10, the Xunta Tibetan Conference was held in Simla, Bharata. During the conference, representatives of the Talun Kingdom repeatedly coerced representatives of the Xunyang Central Government to accept the independence of Fanzang and the so-called division of "internal and external wars" that included the vast areas of Fanzang, Fankang, and Xihai in my country, but the new Xunyang government sternly rejected it. At the same time, representatives of the Talun Kingdom also colluded with local representatives of Fanzang outside the venue without the knowledge of representatives of the Xunyang Central Government and signed the Simla Treaty privately. Representatives of the Xunyang Central Government refused to sign this illegal treaty and officially declared that the Xunyang Government would not recognize any treaties or similar documents signed by the Talun Kingdom from the local authorities of Fanzang now or in the future.

However, Tarun has never stopped encroaching on the areas surrounding Fanzang. Tarun and the Luosha people have a secret deal, and both sides jointly "develop" Fanzang. The Xunyang government also dispatched troops to deal with border issues and improve relations with the Fanzang region.

The enmity between Xunyang and Tarun is very beneficial to the Drake Empire. Another good news is that the Ottomans have completely turned to Drake.

The Khaimos War of 1913 was a major battle between the Khaimos Confederation and the Ottomans on the Khaimos Peninsula.

After many negotiations, Burgalia and Serbia signed an alliance treaty, stipulating that the two countries would protect each other's territorial integrity and that when one country encountered war, the other would help without reservation. This treaty was actually aimed at the Ottomans and the Osmagali Empire, which was eyeing the northern part of the Khaymos Peninsula.

On May 5, Bogalia and Greece signed a defensive alliance treaty, stipulating that if either side was attacked by the Ottomans, the other side would spare no effort to provide assistance, including military operations. In September, Bogalia, Serbia and Montenegro signed an alliance treaty, and the Haimos Alliance was officially formed.

The purpose of establishing the alliance was to fight against the Ottoman Empire in the south, to completely get rid of the Ottoman control and maintain the independence of the country. However, due to the particularity of the Haimos Peninsula, the alliance was influenced by the Kingdom of Tarun, the Fran Republic and the Rakshasa Empire during its establishment. This led to the involvement of ambitious powers, making the situation very complicated.

With the support of the Rakshasa Empire, the Khaymos League issued an ultimatum to the Ottomans, demanding that the Ottoman Empire grant autonomy to Macedonia and Thrace.

Of course, the Ottomans would not agree, and Montenegro immediately declared war on the Ottoman Empire. On October 10, Serbia, Borgia, and Greece jointly issued an ultimatum to the Ottoman Empire. On October 14, the Ottoman Empire declared war on Borgia and Serbia, and on October 10, Greece declared war on the Ottoman Empire. As expected, the Ottoman Empire, the sick man of Europe, was defeated by the Haimos Alliance.
