Of course, the Ottoman Empire also understood that there was no morality between countries, and East China might not be able to bring any help to the Ottoman Empire, but this was always one more way?

Li Sanjie also responded very positively to the Ottoman Empire's initiative, saying that East China was also willing to establish diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire, and gave the Ottoman Empire a detailed introduction to the origin of East China and the development experience after landing in China.

In fact, the Ottoman Empire only began to pay attention to East China after the Far East War, but all the information about East China is basically obtained from European countries, which has both official channels and folk gossip, so it is also mixed, uneven, plus some people in the Ottoman Empire figure it out themselves, and now Li Sanjie introduced to the Ottoman Empire in detail and systematically the origin, development experience, achievements, systems, etc., which made the Ottoman Empire have a good understanding of East China. With a comprehensive and detailed understanding.

Of course, the legendary experience of East China has also aroused the interest of many Turks, so many questions have been raised to Li Sanjie, and Li Sanjie has answered them one by one.

However, a young officer raised a question to Li Sanjie, that is, what kind of state system will East China adopt after the reunification of China, whether it will follow the traditional Chinese political system or imitate the system of European countries.

This question made Li Sanjie a little surprised, but he still replied very seriously, after the unification of China, East China will definitely not need to follow China's traditional political system, because the experience of more than 60 years has proved that China's traditional political system can not adapt to the development of the times, can not let China become rich and strong, will only hinder China's development, must be abandoned. But it will not imitate the system of European countries, this is due to the different cultures, traditions, history, national conditions and other conditions of the East and West, but will absorb the excellent parts of the European national system, and then according to China's national conditions, culture, traditions, history and other factors, the development of East China's national system, in short, now East China is also in the exploration stage, but will be able to find a set of national systems that are suitable for China's national conditions and are also in line with the development trend of the times.

After listening to this, the officer also thought about it, and then asked Li Sanjie what the country should do if there is a very widespread historical tradition or custom that will hinder the country's development and progress?

Li Sanjie found this question quite interesting, but still answered him that if the country's development and progress are hindered, no matter what traditions or customs, they should be abandoned, and when necessary, they can even use the power of the state to coerce.

The officer nodded before thanking Li Sanjie. Li Sanjie felt that this officer was a little interesting, and wanted to ask his name, but there were too many people who asked questions, and he forgot about it as soon as others interrupted him.

At the end of Li Sanjie's visit, the Ottoman Empire also promised that it would organize a mission as soon as possible to visit East China** to formally negotiate the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides, and before the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two sides could contact through diplomatic personnel in Germany.

And when Li Sanjie visited the Ottoman Empire, Xu Jichao also completed his visit to Italy and returned to Germany. As soon as they returned to the apartment, the left-behind personnel reported to Xu Jichao that Britain and France finally officially sent an invitation to the visiting delegation of East China ** yesterday through the embassies of the two countries in Germany.

At this time, East China's visit to Germany has been more than 1 month, and many of the results of the visit have been fair, such as the two sides reached a new trade agreement, East China ** sent students to Germany, and military cooperation, of course, the details of military cooperation will not be announced. However, Britain and France both have a large number of intelligence personnel in Germany, and of course, Germany also has intelligence personnel in Britain and France, and they have also heard some news, such as Germany's purchase of military technology from East China, and asking East China to formulate a naval development plan, and so on.

Generally speaking, if the two countries enter into a deeper military cooperation, it proves that the relationship between the two countries has entered a very close stage, and even if the two countries have not yet formed an alliance, they are not too far from forming an alliance, and nine times out of ten they will move towards an alliance. This result also made Britain and France feel great pressure, because Britain, France and Russia signed the Entente, strategically forming a situation of encirclement of Germany and Austria-Hungary, and the three countries were still trying their best to pull up Italy, trying to completely block Germany and Austria-Hungary.

However, if East China joins the Central Powers, it will break the strategic encirclement of the Entente Powers against the Central Powers, and in the event of war, East China will attack the Russian Far East from the east and contain Russia's strength, then Germany and Austria-Hungary can go all out to deal with Britain and France on the Western Front, while Britain's military strength is mainly at sea, so it mainly relies on France to resist the attack of Germany and Austria-Hungary on land; The navy could directly cut off Britain's maritime lifeline, and even attack Britain's colonies in Asia, weakening Britain's war capability.

In this situation, Italy is very likely to fall to the side of the Allies, then France will face the military pressure of Germany, Austria and Italy, France is simply impossible to resist, and once France is defeated, even if Britain can rely on its strong naval strength to ensure that the mainland is not invaded, but it has no ability to affect the situation on the European continent, and if Germany, Italy, Austria and China concentrate their naval forces, they can also fight with Britain.

Although Britain and France can support Japan to fight against East China, Japan's size is too small, at most it can only contain East China, but it is simply powerless to prevent East China from supporting the Allies in the future war, so it can be said that once East China joins the Allies, the Allies have almost no chance of winning in the future war, and the only way is to pull the United States into the Entente, but this needs to give up how many interests to the United States.

However, Britain and France are old empires after all, and their experience, experience, and insight are not comparable to newcomers like Germany and Japan. The previous assumptions are all based on East China's participation in the Allied Powers, but now East China has not joined the Allied Powers, although if the two countries enter deeper military cooperation, there is a chance that nine out of ten will move towards the Alliance, but there are still 12 out of 12 exceptions.

What's more, from Germany's standpoint, of course, it is hoped to conclude an alliance with East China as soon as possible, but so far, the two countries have exchanged visits, but they are still only partners, and have not really formed an alliance, which shows that either East China has no interest in concluding an alliance, or the conditions offered by Germany cannot satisfy East China, since this is the case, it shows that Britain and France still have a chance, even if they can't pull East China over, at least they can stabilize East China and let East China remain neutral in future wars.

Therefore, after consultations, Britain and France finally decided to send an invitation to the visiting delegation of East China, which is the first step to make goodwill, and it is also a test of East China's attitude; if East China accepts the invitation, it means that East China also intends to improve relations with Britain and France, then Italy will still have a chance to redeem it; on the contrary, if East China refuses the invitation, it means that the crisis is really coming, and Britain and France must make preparations in advance.

Of course, this made the two countries very disgraced, after all, Britain and France were defeated by East China in the Far East War, and were forced to pay land compensation by East China, which is a huge shame for Britain and France, and now Britain and France will take the initiative to invite East China ** to visit, obviously they think they have fallen into the upper hand, and this time East China ** was originally visiting Germany, and there is no plan to visit Britain and France at all, and Britain and France invited East China ** to visit their own country after visiting Germany, not only obviously asking for East China ** and also put itself behind Germany. However, compared to the national interest, losing some face is nothing.

At the same time, Britain and France also made another decision, that is, to actively pull the United States, just in case, Bi Jing is now not fully sure that the two countries can stabilize East China, and must be prepared with both hands. Although the United States needs to cede a lot of benefits to the United States, it is better than losing a future war.

Received the invitation intention of Britain and France, Xu Jichao was also a little surprised, I didn't expect the two countries to really be able to put down their bodies to invite themselves to visit, but this also shows that the relationship between East China and Germany has strengthened, and it has indeed caused a lot of pressure on Britain and France, and they have to put down their bodies and release the goodwill to improve relations with East China. However, the final decision is still in China, so Xu Jichao also immediately reported to China.

A day later, Xu Jichao received a reply from China that he could accept the invitations of Britain and France, but he had to be ranked behind the Netherlands and Belgium. This is not that East China intends to slack off or despise Britain and France, and before visiting Austria-Hungary, East China has already received invitations from the Netherlands and Belgium to visit, and after visiting Italy, Xu Jichao will visit the Netherlands and Belgium. Not to mention that East China** has no friendship with Britain and France, and even if there is friendship, it can't be done.

If Britain and France withdraw their invitation to visit because of this, it means that the two countries have no sincerity in inviting East China, or they have not yet recognized the situation, because now East China does not necessarily have to improve relations with Britain and France, but Britain and France urgently need to improve relations with East China in order to stabilize East China.
