Chapter 527: Chapter 413: The Great Encirclement Plan

Minister Daize Taylor and Minister Grey quickly reached a verbal agreement, with the British Empire trading the regions of Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait for Australasia's occupation of the Mesopotamian Plain.

Moreover, the two Foreign Ministers happily agreed to visit each other's countries in the near future, in order to reach a further advancement of the Anglo-Australian Treaty, which Minister Grey believed would firmly tie Australasia to the British Empire's war chariot.

In fact, there was no harm in supporting the British Empire in the post-war allocation of interests for Australasia, and even considerable benefits could be gained.

Among the three major Allies, Australasia had the best relationship with the United Kingdom and Russia, and Arthur naturally could not risk offending the United Kingdom by supporting France's expansion in the European Continent.

After all, France and Australasia were far apart, and the French could not possibly have any influence on Australasia.
