Sun Never Sets rejected the request of the Foot Basin, which made the Foot Basin people very disappointed.

Although Tianhuang severely punished those who provoked the war without authorization, Tianhuang himself was actually very hesitant about whether to withdraw troops from the Celestial Empire.

If the troops were withdrawn in this way, it would be a huge blow to the national self-confidence and prestige of the Foot Basin! If they failed to win this war, the people would most likely vent their anger on the government or even on his own head.

At this time, the contradictions within the Foot Basin society were already very serious, so the consequences of defeat were almost unbearable.

Therefore, the Foot Basin people hesitated again and again, and finally decided to continue fighting!

However, since it has been determined to continue fighting, then we must be prepared for retaliation and sanctions from the state and society!

Therefore, the Foot Basin carried out a large-scale mobilization in the country, preparing to expand the size of the army from 500,000 to 2.5 million.

On the other hand, before the sanctions from the League of Nations came down, Tianhuang urgently sent a special envoy to the Sun Never Sets, intending to have secret consultations with the Sun Never Sets!

The blockade of the Foot Basin by various countries in the world will certainly have a serious impact on the Foot Basin, but as long as the Sun Never Sets does not abandon the Foot Basin, then these impacts are within the controllable range!

The Sun Never Sets has 33 million square kilometers of land, and also has rich minerals and oil and other resources under these lands! What the Foot Basin needs now is the market and resources. As for the market, as long as they take over the Celestial Empire, they can enjoy this huge market of 400 million people alone, and the vast area and fertile land of the Celestial Empire can completely absorb the unemployed population in the Foot Basin and help them transfer the crisis.

But in terms of mineral resources, even the Celestial Empire cannot completely satisfy them. The Foot Basin has many resources that need to rely on foreign imports, such as nickel, chromium, copper, zinc, iron ore, aluminum ore, as well as oil, rubber and other resources.

Most of these things cannot be produced by the Foot Basin itself, and they need to rely on foreign imports.

If the League of Nations imposes sanctions on the Foot Basin, the supply of these materials in the Foot Basin will be very difficult, and this is what the Foot Basin is most worried about at present!

However, these resources are all in the British Empire, and they are very rich. Australia has abundant iron ore, and Southeast Asia has abundant oil and rubber resources.

So as long as they can get the support of the British Empire, then even if the international community imposes sanctions on the Foot Basin, the Foot Basin can survive!

But the fear is that even the British Empire does not support them. After all, the British Empire is one of the founders of the League of Nations. Let them blatantly violate the sanctions of the League of Nations. This will damage the image of the British Empire and undermine the authority of the League of Nations!

An international organization without authority and majesty is difficult to gain the trust of member states. Therefore, if the British Empire really violates the sanctions of the League of Nations in private and secretly assists the Foot Basin, then it is very likely that even they themselves will be sanctioned by the League of Nations!

Maybe for the British Empire, they are a big family, even if they are sanctioned by the League of Nations, it is not a big deal, but this is a very bad and serious matter after all. No one can say whether the British Empire is willing to take this risk for the foot basin!

Therefore, the foot basin needs to communicate with the British Empire in advance before making the final decision!

“Your country is actually still thinking about continuing to attack the Celestial Empire?” The British

Empire had already made it clear that they would not get involved in the war between the British Empire and the Celestial Empire.

This attitude is actually very clear. They do not support the war, and they are even against this war!

The British Empire has not seemed to pay attention to the advice so far, and even came to ask if the British Empire was willing to risk violating the sanctions of the League of Nations to help them, which made the British Empire feel very dreamy!

What on earth are the British Empire thinking?

The Foreign Minister of the British Empire was very unhappy. You did not inform us in advance before launching the war. Now that you are in trouble, you want us to clean up your mess. You have been using us as tools from beginning to end. Isn’t this too much of a disrespect to allies?

“Once a war starts, it is very difficult to end it. It is not a question of whether we want to or not. It is not impossible to end the war. As long as we defeat the enemy, the war will naturally end!”

The people of Jiaoben did not feel guilty or ashamed of their allies at all. They took it for granted.

Moreover, from what they said, they seemed to be determined to fight the war to the end. Even if they were sanctioned by the League of Nations, they would continue the war of invading the Celestial Empire!

This made the people of the British Empire speechless. Since you have made the decision, why are you coming here to say something? If you are so capable, why don’t you go and challenge the whole world alone?

“Sorry, I can’t make the decision on this matter. I need to ask the Prime Minister before I can reply to your country!”

The Foreign Minister of the Sun Never Sets was not interested in continuing to chat with the envoy of the Foot Basin. After sending the envoy away, he took the news to the Prime Minister’s residence and reported the matter to the Prime Minister.

“The dream of the Foot Basin People is good, but unfortunately, they treat others as tools and use us, their allies, as chess pieces. Unfortunately, we are chess pieces with self-awareness, and we are not willing to follow their routine!”

Prime Minister Stanley sneered, and naturally disagreed with the request of the Foot Basin.

The Foreign Minister nodded, he thought so too. For the British Empire, there was no benefit in helping with this matter, and there was no loss if they did not help. In this case, it would definitely be better not to help, because if they really helped, their reputation would be damaged, and there would be certain risks!

Although Prime Minister Stanley believed that if the British Empire really provided these supplies to the Foot Basin, the League of Nations would not really impose sanctions on the British Empire.

After all, the British Empire is the world hegemon, far surpassing the Foot Basin in terms of strength and influence, and the British Empire has not invaded other countries. There is no legal basis for sanctioning the British Empire. What the League of Nations can do is probably to condemn the British Empire, but he feels that with the influence of the British Empire in the League of Nations, I am afraid that the League of Nations may not even be able to condemn them!

So they will not suffer any loss if they help the Foot Basin, but if they really help and let the Foot Basin successfully eat up the entire Celestial Empire, the loss will be even greater.

“”Then should I respond to the other party immediately?”

The Foreign Secretary asked tentatively. Since he had figured out the Prime Minister’s attitude, he felt that there was no need to stay here any longer. But

Prime Minister Stanley shook his head:”Don’t rush it. If you tell Jiaoben directly, there is no guarantee that Jiaoben will not do something unexpected. This country cannot be speculated according to common sense. There are many mature politicians in their country, but there are also some very radical and weird guys, so occasionally they will do some incredible things!”

Prime Minister Stanley had dealt with Jiaoben before, so he knew the character of Jiaoben people, so he stopped the Foreign Secretary’s actions.

“I understand. I will respond to him by saying that the Prime Minister is busy with his work and has not made a statement yet!”

In the final analysis, it is a tactic of procrastination. Let this matter drag on.

When the situation becomes clear, especially after the ruling from the League of Nations comes down, then make a decision based on the situation.

Prime Minister Stanley nodded, obviously approving the Foreign Secretary’s approach.

……

At the end of July 1926, the annual League of Nations Assembly was held as scheduled at the Palais des Nations.

At the beginning of the meeting, Hans’s representative proposed a proposal to condemn and sanction the Foot Basin, and handed it to representatives of all member states to express their views!

Because the news of this matter had already spread last month, representatives of various countries had also made corresponding preparations for this matter.

Therefore, after Hans’s representative proposed this proposal, there was almost no suspense.

The proposal was approved by the vast majority of countries, only a few countries opposed it, and some countries abstained from voting!

After the proposal was passed, the League of Nations immediately drafted a regulation to sanction the Foot Basin, and required the Foot Basin to withdraw its troops from the Celestial Empire unconditionally, otherwise the sanctions regulation would take effect in September!

The

Foot Basin representative tried to quibble at the League of Nations Assembly, but was unanimously besieged by all countries.

Seeing that the proposal could not be vetoed and was about to take effect, the Foot Basin representative made a shocking decision: the Foot Basin announced its withdrawal from the League of Nations, and no longer fulfilled the obligations of the League of Nations, and no longer respected the regulations of the League of Nations! This decision surprised the world, because it was a clear act of overturning the table!
