Bai Zhizhan and others did not fly directly to the imperial capital, and the torpedo plane could not fly that far.

At a naval base in the southern part of the empire, a transport plane sent by the Navy Command was waiting for them. While the transport plane was preparing for takeoff, Gui Boyong made several calls and asked the reason why the Navy Command called them back, which actually confirmed the previous speculation.

The war has broken out, or is about to break out.

Just last night, the Luosha Federation put the Northwest Front troops deployed near the border with a total force of more than one million on the grounds of protecting its expatriates, and then issued an ultimatum to the three countries along the Luowan Sea coast, requiring the three countries to give a reply within 72 hours.

What's the answer?

This matter has to start twenty years ago.

In the 79th year of the New Calendar of the Empire, the year when the Liangxia Empire and the Alliance Group signed an armistice agreement, with the active mediation of President Newland, the four major countries of the Alliance Group, including the Liangxia Empire and the Tianman Empire, and more than a dozen participating countries, held a peace treaty in Seba, the capital of the Rock Republic. After several months of bargaining, a peace treaty and an agreement to form an international alliance were finally reached.

This is the famous "Seba Peace Meeting" and "Seba Peace Treaty".

Unfortunately, what happened later made all the efforts of countries in Seba City waste, and also made the "Seba Peace Agreement" a laughing stock.

The key is that peace treaties and agreements must be approved by the legislature of each country before they will take effect.

The problem lies with the initiator.

After returning to China, Newland President Wilkins actively lobbies both houses of Congress, hoping that Congress can approve the peace he promoted in Seba City and make the Newland Federation the initiator and start-up member of the League of Nations, thereby enhancing his voice in the international community.

Unfortunately, Wilkins took the problem too simply.

In order to promote peace, this strong idealistic president made great sacrifices and major concessions, but did not consider what the federal lawmakers would think.

At that time, the domestic public opinion of the Newland Federation generally believed that after paying the terrible price of millions of officers and soldiers, in addition to helping the Kingdom of Bran and the Rock Republic to climb out of the quagmire of war, the Newland Federation did not receive any substantial benefits, which was equivalent to allowing the soldiers of the Newland Federation to fight for other countries.

The key point is that the peace treaty brought back from Seba City did not protect the interests of the Newland Federation.

I worked hard for more than two years, and I was just making wedding clothes for others?

On the contrary, the Kingdom of Bran and the Rock Republic not only climbed out of the quagmire of war, but also gained a lot of real benefits, and even the Nayi Empire tasted the sweetness.

In love, the Newland Federation is not a victorious country, but a defeated country!

So, why sign this peace agreement?

Although Wilkins tried his best, Congress rejected the "Seba Saving" twice in a row and the proposal to form and join the international federation initiated by him.

Misfortune never comes alone. When Wilkins gave a speech in Congress and canvassed for the third vote, he suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

Taman, the vice president who succeeded Wilkins, was mediocre and was also a well-known good man.

Although with Taman's efforts, Congress finally approved the "Seba Peace Treaty", the establishment of an international alliance can only be left behind.

Now, it's fun.

The following year, in the 80th year of the New Calendar of the Empire, without the participation of the Newland Federation, the Kingdom of Bran, the Locke Republic and the Nayi Empire forcibly initiated the establishment of the League of Nations, and then established the alliance headquarters in Seba City, and then began to form the executive committee.

The three great powers are so active, but they are actually trying to divide the benefits of the war.

The key is that the additional clauses of the Sebas Peace Treaty clearly stipulate that only after the establishment of the League of Nations will the Liangxia Empire fulfill some of the terms of the treaty, such as handing over some of the colonies of the East Ocean and Xuan Continent to the League of Nations in the name of trusteeship, which is actually ceded to the Locke Republic, the Kingdom of Bran and the Nayi Empire. For example, if the League of Nations needs to come forward, the Liangxia Empire will send troops to intervene in Luosha's civil war.

In fact, this is the only way to prevent the Liangxia Empire from admitting defeat.

Acting under the League of Nations is to actively participate in international affairs and has nothing to do with the war, so it cannot be said that the war is defeated.

The question now is, is there no international alliance of Newland Federation, or is it that international alliance?

Don't forget that the Empire has long established a strategy to synchronize with the Newland Federation.

The Newland Federation did not join the League of Nations, and the Liangxia Empire would not join!

In this way, what are the reasons for transferring colonies under the League of Nations and sending troops to intervene in civil wars in other countries?

Although the Kingdom of Bran, the Rock Republic and the Nayi Empire forcibly established an international alliance, the next day, the Liangxia Empire announced that because the Newland Federation did not join, it would not sign contracts with other countries, nor would it recognize any treaties related to the International Alliance.

This is equivalent to abolishing the Treaty of Seba.

To this end, the empire's chief minister Tang Zude announced the resignation of the cabinet on the same day and also dissolved the two houses of discussion.

According to relevant laws, the empire will hold general elections in advance, but the state of war must be ended first before that, and the former chief minister will form a guardian cabinet.

Without discussing the two houses, there is no way to sign and ratify any international treaty.

When the trouble reached this point, the international situation was completely in chaos.

At the end of the year, after the Kingdom of Bran stated that it would not send troops to intervene in the civil war of the Luosha Empire, the Locke Republic immediately announced its withdrawal from the alliance group.

At this point, the Alliance Group officially became history.

As for the League of Nations, it is also useless.

By the 81st year of the New Calendar of the Empire, the Kingdom of Bran and the Nayi Empire re-concluded an alliance treaty. Newland President Felix, who won the election at the beginning of that year, announced that the Newland Federation would return to the international community and be willing to assume corresponding obligations to contribute to world peace.

In this year, the Newland Federation successively concluded military alliance treaties with the Kingdom of Bran and the Royal Kingdom of Nayi.

Several years later, the three countries consolidated the triangular alliance by collectively signing contracts.

This is the famous "Second Alliance Group".

But, the Rock Republic did not join!

Fundamentally, the Second Alliance Group mainly targets land-power empires such as the Liangxia Empire and the Tauman Empire. Through the marginal blockade strategy, it seizes and controls colonies all over the world, thereby obtaining the resources and markets of the colonies and injecting vitality into its own economic development.

Unfortunately, it accidentally injured the Rock Republic.

Of course, it cannot be said that it was a mistake.

Before this, that is, after the alliance group was over, the Rock Republic took the initiative to reconcile with the Troman Empire, and became military allies with the Troman Empire by reducing war reparations and other means, thus ensuring local security and avoiding a full-scale war with strong neighbors again.

To put it bluntly, the Rock Republic was afraid of being beaten in the war.

It would be strange if the middle-aged men, who account for about 15% of the total population, were killed in the war.

The key is that the Rock Republic and the Torman Empire have a common enemy.

That's right, it's the newly born Luosha Federation.

In a sense, the Rock Republic and the Torman Empire have resolved their past grudges in order to deal with the threat from the Luosha Federation and ensure the security of their own country.
