Following China's defeat by England, Asian countries united to challenge Western powers. Upon learning of the formation of the Asian alliance, European nations, such as Britain, initiated internal deliberations. For example, Queen Victoria of England engaged in extensive discussions with her advisors.
Queen Victoria: We've just received word that all the Asian countries have united against us. What course of action should we take?
Lord Palmerston, Foreign Secretary: Your Majesty, this is a grave matter that requires swift and decisive action.
Queen Victoria: What do you propose, Lord Palmerston?
Lord Palmerston: I believe it is imperative that we forge an alliance with the other European nations and stand united against this Asian threat.
Queen Victoria: But will they be willing to join forces with us?
Lord Palmerston: I firmly believe they will, Your Majesty. They too are confronted with the same peril.
Queen Victoria: Very well. Dispatch messages to all the European courts and propose an alliance.
Lord Palmerston: Yes, Your Majesty. I shall do so immediately. (Queen Victoria and Lord Palmerston continue their discussion on the matter.)
Queen Victoria: I sincerely hope you are correct, Palmerston. I hope that the European countries will rally behind us in this battle.
Lord Palmerston: I have faith, Your Majesty. We are all in this together.
A secret meeting room in London, 1844.
British Prime Minister: Ladies and gentlemen, we have convened here today to discuss a matter of utmost significance. As you are aware, an Asian alliance has been established, and they are preparing to wage war against our colonies in Asia. If we do not take swift action, we stand to lose everything.
French Ambassador: I concur. The Asian alliance poses a grave threat to our interests in the East. It is imperative that we unite and confront them together.
Spanish Ambassador: But how can we do that? The Asian alliance wields considerable power and enjoys support from numerous nations.
Dutch Ambassador: Precisely why we must act swiftly. We must mobilize all our resources and strike before they are fully prepared.
British Prime Minister: I wholeheartedly agree. Waiting is not an option. My proposal is to form a coalition comprising all Western powers with colonies in Asia. Together, we can overcome the Asian alliance and safeguard our interests. The other ambassadors nod in agreement.
British Prime Minister: Excellent. It is settled then. We shall forge a coalition against the Asian alliance. We shall fight for our colonies and not rest until victory is achieved. The ambassadors raise their glasses in agreement.
All: To victory!
However, their perception is gravely mistaken. Primarily, they lack any weaponry advantage. The Asian alliance possesses an intimate knowledge of the terrain and geographical layout, as it is their home ground. Additionally, the population disparity serves as the third crucial factor.
Now, within a month, all the Western colonies' countries will dispatch their ships and numerous other resources to combat the Asian alliance. However, their perception is gravely mistaken. Now, within a month, all the Western colonies' countries will dispatch their ships and numerous other resources to destroy the Asian alliance.
After 20 days, prior to the arrival of the European Army, all the ministers of the Asian alliance convened. Representatives from China, Japan, Korea, and various other smaller countries gathered, utilizing their familiarity with the geographical layout as it is their home ground.
All the ministers and generals from various countries are meeting in a hidden location. They are discussing strategies to combat Western colonization.
General Nakajima: We have just received word that the Western colonies are preparing to send their ships and resources to combat our alliance.
General Yamamoto: This is grave news. We must prepare for war. Minister Kim: But we are outnumbered and outgunned. How can we possibly hope to win?
General Nakajima: We have one thing they do not: home ground advantage. We know this land like the backs of our hands. We can use this to our advantage.
Minister Lee: But what about that unknown leader? We have no idea what kind of weapons he has.
General Yamamoto: We must assume the worst. He could be armed with the latest and most powerful weapons.
Minister Kim: This is truly a dire situation.
General Nakajima: It is, but we must not give up hope. We must fight for our freedom and our independence.
All: We will fight!
Ram strides confidently into the grand hall, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present. With a charismatic smile, he addresses the esteemed leaders of Asia. "Greetings, leaders of Asia. I am Ram, the proud leader of the Asian alliance." The room buzzes with surprise and curiosity as the Asian leaders exchange murmurs.
Today, Ram declares, he has convened this gathering to discuss their plans to combat the Western colonization that has plagued their lands for far too long. "No longer shall we remain idle as they pillage our resources and exploit our lands," he proclaims, his words resonating with determination. The Asian leaders nod in agreement, recognizing the urgency of the situation.
"We must unite as one powerful force, forging an unbreakable alliance to safeguard our interests," Ram continues, his voice filled with conviction. He has brought them together to strategize and to demonstrate that they possess the strength and resilience to overcome the Western colonizers. The Asian leaders lean in attentively, eager to hear his vision.
With a gleam in his eye, Ram reveals that he has acquired the latest weaponry, on par with that of the British. Excitement ripples through the room as the Asian leaders exchange murmurs of anticipation. "We shall be well-equipped to defend ourselves," Ram assures them, his voice brimming with confidence.
Acknowledging the doubts and fears that may linger among the leaders, Ram offers reassurance. "I promise you, if we stand united, we shall triumph. We are the Asian alliance, and defeat is not an option!" His words ignite a fire within the hearts of the Asian leaders, prompting them to rise to their feet and erupt in thunderous applause.
As the scene fades out, the resolute determination of the Asian leaders lingers in the air, a testament to their unwavering commitment to protect their lands and secure their future.
That was some nonsense that everyone in this room is aware of, but they applaud just to make the situation seem more official.
Ram has now come to the crux of the matter, which revolves around obtaining funds. His plan involves convincing these countries to offer resources or funds in return for his weapons. The primary focus of the conversation is determining the amount of funds each country will contribute and the quantity of weapons they will receive.
