Avila didn't need to be so frightened, because Ouyang Shuo didn't have time to deal with this matter.
After the end of the Battle of Hawaii and the Gold Extermination War, there were a lot of things waiting for Ouyang Shuo to deal with. Needless to say, he had to take this opportunity to reevaluate the global situation.
There were pros and cons to infuriating the Dawson Dynasty, but he had no choice.
By defeating the freedom fleet, he had defended the Great Xia's maritime hegemony, but he had also completely offended the Silver Hand. In the future, the Faction would only unite and fight against the Great Xia together.
The academies could simply sit back and reap the benefits, watching the tigers fight from the sidelines.
Ouyang Shuo naturally wouldn't let them succeed. On the day when the Cliff Mountain fleet returned, the Honglu Temple issued an announcement that stirred up the global public opinion.
The announcement said, "As a large ocean trading country, the Great Xia respects the freedom of navigation and trade. From now on, the Cape of Good Hope, the Gulf of Aden, the Maldives, the Strait of Malacca, and the Hawaiian Islands will be opened to the territories around the world.
"At the same time, Great Xia respects the coexistence of various multilateral trade organizations. Regardless of whether it is the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement or the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership Agreement, there are no restrictions on members joining other trade organizations. We also welcome other members to join these two organizations."
"Of course, the Great Xia will, as always, resolutely defend its maritime interests and maintain the safety of navigation. Any provocation or provocation against the maritime rights of the Great Xia is unacceptable."
This announcement, which was mildly worded but somewhat forcefully, caused a global shock.
No one would think that the Great Xia, which had defeated the freedom fleet of the Dawson Dynasty and dominated the Pacific Ocean, was showing weakness by taking the initiative to open the ports and sea routes.
"This is a rising dynasty with an unparalleled breadth of mind and bearing," some media commented.
The Great Xia not only showed the Silver Hand their goodwill, but also completely reversed the global public opinion and regained the high ground of public opinion, winning the praise of players around the world.
"Now, let's see how Jack will respond," Ouyang Shuo said.
If Jack was smart enough, he could only swallow this bitter fruit and walk down the stairs given by Ouyang Shuo. He would adjust the global strategy of the Faction and focus on dealing with the Academics.
Through a series of local wars, the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to declare to the Silver Hand and the Academics that the Great Xia Dynasty was not a soft persimmon that they could knead, but a pole that could not be ignored in the global situation.
He believed that the Academics and the Silver Hand would understand this message.
Apart from that, Ouyang Shuo had other considerations for making such an announcement.
First, stabilize the ocean trade.
This time, Great Xia took the initiative to open up their ports and shipping routes. Furthermore, these were all key locations. In the face of a supermarket like the Huaxia region, there would definitely be some members of the NPC who were tempted to reopen trade with Great Xia.
Because there were no restrictions on the number of members, it was also beneficial to the stability of the two regional trade organizations.
The Black Snake Guards had found out that before the news of the Battle of Hawaii was disclosed, some of the Mediterranean Sea's feudal lords were already prepared to withdraw from the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement.
With such a promise from Great Xia, apart from a lunatic like Caesar, very few people would go to extremes. The members of the Silver Hands were mainly aristocratic families, and betting on both sides was their specialty.
Ouyang Shuo didn't know that Harry would definitely take advantage of the situation and wouldn't seek to withdraw.
With these two points, the scale of Great Xia's ocean trade could basically be stabilized. Coupled with the upcoming South American emerging market, the overall impact would be minimal.
As soon as the Battle of Hawaii ended, Great Xia sent a large-scale diplomatic mission personally led by Chamberlain of Dependencies Zhang Yi to the Indian Empire.
It was believed that this diplomatic mission would bring unexpected surprises to Great Xia.
Of course, if the NPC was tactful and no longer fought to the death with Great Xia, or even put down their pride and promote the globalization of trade with Great Xia, it would be another opportunity for Great Xia's ocean trade.
An era of globalization of trade had begun.
Second, win time.
The overbearing Silver Hand made Ouyang Shuo deeply realize that in the face of such a colossus, Great Xia could only have a partial advantage. In terms of overall strength, there was still a huge difference between them.
To put it bluntly, Great Xia didn't have the capital to face the Silver Hand head-on.
Otherwise, after the Battle of Hawaii, the Great Xia Alliance Fleet could pursue them all the way to the Dawson Dynasty and teach Jack an unforgettable lesson.
However, in that case, there would be no room for reconciliation between the two sides.
Ouyang Shuo didn't feel aggrieved about this, and even felt a little proud. He had only established Great Xia for five years, while the Silver Hand was a super organization that had existed for hundreds of years.
If it wasn't for the end of the world, interstellar migration, and the game "Earth on Earth", Ouyang Shuo wouldn't even have the qualifications to talk to them, let alone arm wrestling!
"You have to take it one step at a time." Ouyang Shuo always told himself this.
Although the current Great Xia couldn't compare to the Silver Hand, it also had its own advantages. In the past five years, Great Xia had continuously accumulated territorial characteristics and hidden buildings, which had reached an extremely exaggerated level.
No territory in the world could compare with such a foundation.
Coupled with the vast talent pool, knowledge pool, and technology pool that Huaxia had accumulated for 5,000 years, which made the other regions sigh. As long as Great Xia could digest them, it would be able to run all the way forward.
Moreover, there were also various problems within Great Xia.
Previously, Ouyang Shuo had opened up the "Three Strategies for Governing the Country" for Great Xia. Whether it was making a statement, legislating, or supervising, they all needed time to implement and slowly transform and adjust the Great Xia Dynasty.
This required a relatively stable external environment.
With all these factors mixed together, Ouyang Shuo made the decision to compromise for the time being. When he had the upper hand, he wasn't aggressive, nor was he unforgiving. Instead, he generously chose to cooperate and show goodwill to all parties.
This was because the growth of Great Xia still needed time.
…
What Ouyang Shuo didn't know was that this announcement of Great Xia not only stirred up global public opinion, but it also alarmed almost all the influential lords in the world. It also alarmed the higher-ups of the Academics and the Silver Hand.
The two major organizations coincidentally convened a secret meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Perhaps, at this moment, the big shots of the Silver Hand, these old men who had lived for most of their lives, began to really take Ouyang Shuo seriously and treat him as a person.
It was unprecedented for a young man to receive such treatment.
