Chapter 1311 – Taking up the Responsibility of Managing the World

Putting down the communication compass, Casillas’s furrowed brows formed a line. The three hours of the six country meeting could be summarized in one sentence, “We will support you in spirit!”

The various Lords all had their own agendas, and they did not have the ability to aid the Spain Dynasty.

In the end, they all tried to convince him to give up on Africa for the sake of the organization to reduce the defensive line and stabilize the European battlefield.

“If you take a step back, everything will be great!” Caesar had said.

Casillas wanted to flip on the spot. These people could speak so easily when their interests were not affected. Who knows, maybe they were floating in silence.

The helpless Casillas could only seek some benefits; he demanded he receive some rewards from the splitting of the Ottoman Dynasty.

“If not, let’s break up!” Casillas threw down an ultimatum.

After three hours of debate and negotiations, they barely agreed to a new distribution plan.

Even then, Casillas still felt really annoyed. Seeing his dynasty fall from strong to weak, no ruler would feel good about it, much less someone like him who liked face.

Casillas was also feeling more and more annoyed about the useless Jack.

…

7th month, 12th day, the Spain Dynasty army resisted for a bit before abandoning Algiers and withdrawing to their mainland.

Great Xia’s North Africa legion corps proceeded forward with an invincible aura in the next 10 days. Not only did they take down Algeria, but they also reclaimed Morocco, wiping away the previous humiliation.

The entire North Africa was under Great Xia rule.

Not only that, but even the Spain Dynasty’s two other territories in Africa – West Sahara and Mauritania – were taken down.

The Spain Dynasty officially stepped out of the battle for the Africa Continent.

Jidian City, Morocco, and Algeria were grouped together to form the Algeria Province. The ruling city would be Algiers City, becoming the eighth province in the Africa Governor-General House.

Original Beijiang Province Fengtian Prefecture Governor Wen Tianxiang was promoted to Algeria Provincial Governor.

West Sahara and the Mauritania region were grouped under Sahara Province, and its ruling area was Nouakchott.

Original Minnan Province Dingzhou Prefecture Governor Baili Nanfeng was promoted to Sahara Provincial Governor.

At this point, Great Xia’s expansion in the Africa Continent came to an end, moving from attack to defense. They would focus on managing their current territories and would not have any thoughts for the other regions of Africa.

In a short four months, from accepting the Egypt Dynasty to conquering the Spain Dynasty’s territories in Africa, the size of the Governor-General House had doubled.

If they did not digest this well, problems might crop up.

Ouyang Shuo did not want to become fat right after eating so much.

…

In the blink of an eye, the 8th month arrived.

The biggest effect of the Spain Dynasty’s withdrawal was the attacks of the Egypt army becoming more eager.

With Great Xia as their shield, the problem of the Egypt army’s logistical supply was solved.

With Jidian City, Morocco, and Atlantis City, they formed a triangle. Great Xia totally controlled the Mediterranean-Gibraltar Straits.

Not to mention disturbing Great Xia’s supply transport, whether the three squadrons of the Alliance Army could enter the Atlantic or not depended on Great Xia.

The Mediterranean trade route was totally under Great Xia’s control.

On the day that the Algeria Province was established, Great Xia made a statement that they would protect global trade, which allowed Silver Hand to heave a sigh of relief.

This statement meant that Great Xia would not disturb merchant ships at the Gibraltar Straits.

The traveling ships, regardless of whether they were from Great Xia, Azure Badge, or Silver Hand, could all travel through the Suez Canal and Gibraltar Straits.

The Mediterranean trade route would only become more open and more safe.

Ouyang Shuo made this decision because he agreed with the win-win principle and did not want to push them to the wall.

The Mediterranean trade route was the lifeline of the Asia-Europe trade route and concerned most of the dynasty’s trade.

Even the House of Tudors, the Ottoman Dynasty, the Romanov Dynasty, and the Dawson Dynasty had merchant ships travelling in the Mediterranean.

If Great Xia acted really shameless and tried to monopolize it, they would become public enemy number one.

Wouldn’t that give Silver Hand and Azure Badge a chance to join hands to go against Great Xia? Ouyang Shuo was not so foolish.

Moreover, opening up the trade route benefited Great Xia the most.

Looking further, the third condition for becoming an imperial dynasty was obtaining the recognition of all the dynasties across the world. One had to take up responsibility for the world to become a global overlord.

In history, America swiftly rose up and became a global giant after World War II, taking the role of the global police; this was an undeniable matter.

Who knows how many countries in the world or global organizations obtained American help.

Although the help was not free and was even done with other intentions, it was true that it helped with the rebuilding of the various countries and established post-war order.

This was something that could not be changed.

At the latter stages, when America faced problems internally and was not willing to take up this global responsibility, it lost its position as the global overlord.

This was a really practical society.

Power and responsibility were two sides of the same coin.

Ouyang Shuo used the America of that time period as a learning example. He would not make the same mistakes and try to lockdown the Mediterranean Ocean now to incur the wrath of everyone.

On the contrary, he wanted to use this chance to promote global free trade.

Even with the Panama Canal that Great Xia had just taken down, Ouyang Shuo was not going to interfere with the Dawson Dynasty merchants travelling across as long as they accepted routine checks and paid border fees.

This was a silent infiltration.

With that, as Great Xia developed, it would draw close to the other dynasties to a certain extent, setting up a foundation that would help Great Xia destroy the two organizations.

Otherwise, why would they betray their organization?

…

The Egypt army suddenly increased their offensive for one more reason, which was the deadline set by Ouyang Shuo.

At the start, when Azure Badge and Great Xia signed the agreement, they made it clear that Great Xia was in charge of logistics, but it was only for a limited time period.

It was impossible for Great Xia to take charge of their logistics forever.

That would be a huge loss.

The logistical supplies of the Egypt army was basically using up the coffers of the Governor-General House.

The deadline that Ouyang Shuo gave them was the end of the 8th year of Gaia.

If the 8th year ended and the two sides were still at such a standstill, the Egypt army would have to solve their own problems.

It was already the 8th month, and winter was about to arrive.

Although the Spain Dynasty was affected by the Mediterranean Ocean and was a warm region with a warm winter, it would still be affected a little. At the very least, it would not be so easy to gather up grain.

Hence, the Egypt army had very little time left. They had to achieve a decisive result in the Spain battlefield before the 8th year ended.

However, this was easier said than done.

The Spain Dynasty that was shortening their defensive lines had gathered up close to 320 thousand soldiers in Spain. Furthermore, they had the geographical advantage, so they were totally unafraid of the Egypt army.

The two sides could be called evenly matched.

The change had to come from outside of the battlefield, and it would depend on Azure Badge’s actions.
