The Ottoman envoys arrived in Cyprus on the morning of December 24, 1904, more than 40 kilometers from the Ottoman Empire, which had not paid much attention to after the Ottoman Empire had seized the island. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoEver since Cyprus was leased to the Republic of China, people have begun to notice this place.

The huge docks, the railway station on the docks, and the simple and beautiful Chinese-style railway buildings all make people feel the presence of Chinese, just like the significant railways in the Ottoman Empire.

Railways in Cyprus are basically freight, so it's more convenient to take a train if you want speed. When the Ottoman envoys arrived in Nicosia in a car, their eyes lit up when the prototype of the huge Central Park had been determined, and the beautiful forest and the rivers and lakes within the forest created a simple idyllic landscape. Surrounding this huge central park is a collection of modern buildings in the eyes of the Ottoman Empire, making the city a masterpiece both functionally and aesthetically.

After meeting Wang Mingshan, the Ottoman envoy asked straight to the point: "Your Excellency, we are considering building a new railway. I hope to be able to get help from your country. ”

Wang Mingshan did not speak immediately, and the railways within the Ottoman Empire were basically built in the Republic of China. The Min dynasty reaped tremendous benefits from these projects, at least in Wang Mingshan's view, without the support of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Min dynasty could not have developed so quickly in East Africa. Of course, it is impossible for Wang Mingshan or the Republic of China to have any feelings and thoughts of gratitude to the Ottoman Turks.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon?? Bonaparte asserted that "Turkey is the sick man of Europe" and began to be disintegrated by the European powers. However, first the British and then the Min Dynasty both believed that it was strategic to support the Ottoman Empire, so the Ottoman Empire was like pie in the sky with the help of the two great powers. And the Ottoman Empire ceded Egypt to Britain and Sudan to the Minchao. Because the Republic of China contributed the most, a large number of key railways were built. Therefore, the upper echelons of the Ottoman Empire sent Kuwait to the emperor of the Republic of China and leased Cyprus to the government of the Republic of China.

"There are already a lot of railways in your country, and the railway network is beginning to take shape, so why build new ones?" Wang Mingshan didn't want the Ottoman Empire to reap more benefits again, so he took a conservative attitude when he spoke.

The Ottoman envoy first took out a map, which was a habit that had recently begun to emerge in the Ottoman Empire, using this more acceptable thing as a basis for negotiation. The map shows that there was a railway from Baghdad to Constantinople, not a solitary railway, but a network of railways. Then the Ottoman fingers pressed to the east of the Bosbrus and then swiped in the direction of Berlin. When the finger moved to Berlin, the envoy said: "We want to build a railway from Baghdad to Berlin." ”

Weezer only received this news three days later, and the Ottoman Empire did not have a high priority in the Min Dynasty, and the things that the Ottoman Empire came up with were not particularly taken seriously. It turned out that East Africa was developing much faster than the Ottoman Empire. Although the black uncles are lazy, they can be organized in a decent social form, and led by the Japanese who act as the middle class.

Seeing the railway plan proposed by the Ottoman Empire, Wei Ze's first thought was the 'Belt and Road', the Republic of China already had a railway connecting the Ottoman Empire through Persia from the Central Asian frontier, and if the Ottomans built a railway to Berlin, it would be connected with the railway from Berlin to Amsterdam. You can get from the east coast of the island to the west coast by train.

It's just that this situation is too unexpected, and Wei Ze feels that there is a trap ahead. If you look closely, you can see that the railway is only a part of the Austrian rule, and does not make use of the Hungarian railway, which already exists. Then Weeser began to write a few bullet points.

Just a few days after New Year's Day, Wilhelm II of Berlin received news from the Ottoman Empire. The Berlin-Baghdad railway was planned by the ambitious German emperor, who developed faster than Britain in terms of internal combustion engines and had a greater demand for oil. The oil transportation route from Germany to the Mediterranean was always controlled by the British and the Republic of China, so Wilhelm II wanted to build a '3b railway', that is, Berlin to Byzantium (Constantinople) to Baghdad.

According to the report, the Ottoman Empire agreed with the German southern route through Germany and Austria, but the Ottoman Empire also demanded the construction of a northern route from Berlin to Viena to Budapest and then through Bulgaria to the Ottomans.

At the sight of the name Hungary, the German emperor's brow furrowed. The reason why the Hungarian Slovak People's Republic, the insidious cancer attached to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, passed through the southern front was naturally Osri's desire to strengthen his ability to intervene in the Balkans, and to avoid Hungary, an abominable country, was also an important reason.

"Tell the Ottomans that this ...... No...... Can...... Yes! The second emperor said word by word.

The day after the telegram was sent, the Ottomans also responded, "If there is no northern line, we will not accept this railway plan." ”

When he refused, the Second Emperor immediately ordered the German diplomats in the Ottoman Empire to operate in full force to see who was rebelling against the will of the German Emperor. Within days, German diplomats told Berlin that it was the Minchao who was stopping. A few hours later, the ambassador to Germany was summoned to the German Foreign Office, and the German foreign minister began to question the purpose of the German court.

Only the second disease would think that the purpose of the Republic of China was to work against Germany, and the German Foreign Minister certainly knew that the purpose of the Republic of China was to solve the dilemma faced by Hungary through the 3B railway. Hungary is a landlocked country, surrounded by powerful countries, and the external situation is particularly difficult. If the 3B railway passes through Hungary, this problem will be solved. The railway was able to transport not only oil, which was of great importance to Germany, but also iron ore and other materials that were of great importance to Hungary. In fact, the German government was very interested in the oil wells drilled in Hungary by the Republic of China, but Wilhelm II was adamantly opposed to importing oil from such an evil country as Hungary, so he had to give up. If the 3B railway could pass through Hungary, Germany's oil imports from Hungary would be a smooth affair.

In the face of the German foreign minister's questioning of the formality, the ambassador of the Democratic Republic of Korea also cooperated and said, "He himself has not received any domestic statement on this matter, but with the current peaceful line of the Democratic Dynasty, it is a matter that the Democratic Dynasty is happy to see."

So the German Foreign Minister completely relayed this to the German Emperor Wilhelm II, which caused great dissatisfaction with Wilhelm II. The Min Dynasty is now in the Mediterranean, and the Min Dynasty is now on the east and west sides of the North Atlantic with Germany, but it is not the turn of the Min Dynasty to decide who Germany will be friendly with. So the emperor scolded a few words into the air. After scolding, Wilhelm II was depressed and stopped discussing the matter. Another day later, Wilhelm II called the Foreign Secretary to ask how to communicate with the Minchao.

While the Germans were doing this, British intelligence had already learned about the 3B railway plan through their own channels. Now the British immediately exploded. The Min Dynasty was very keen on doing business, especially the buying and selling of oil. A large fleet of dozens of 20,000-ton cruise ships has been running between the Persian Gulf and Europe, and the Republic of China has also established an oil refining base in Italy to export refined oil to countries that do not have their own refineries.

No matter how big the business of the Republic of China is, it is not a big problem for Britain. Because Britain judged that the Republic of China was a rational country that could negotiate with Britain, even if it was strong, it was still a country that would not hesitate to use force. But the rationality of the Minchao itself allowed it to communicate based on normal rationality. In recent years, the Emperor of the Republic of China, Weser himself, put forward a policy of 'peace', and the British also believe that the Republic of China is indeed trying to implement it.

As for Wilhelm II in Germany, the British felt that 'the German government had neither the ability nor the will to stop the nonsense of Wilhelm II'. Although Wilhelm II was also related to the British emperor, this cousin was obviously not a rational existence. Once the 3B railway was completed, it meant that the shackles around Germany's neck were loosened, and what Wilhelm II, who was completely unconstrained by the shackles, would do, was not at all optimistic about this.

Soon the Ottomans received an order from the British not to accept the 3B railway plan. Otherwise, Britain would have been unkind to the Ottoman Empire. Just before the Ottoman Empire made a statement on this, the British had already begun to act according to their own approach. The 3b railway was going to pass through Serbia, so the independent forces of Serbia suddenly received a big gift package from the sky, which was support including weapons and funds. The Serbs did not hesitate to launch an uprising in March 1905.

While the Serbs were fighting fiercely against the repressive Ottoman army, there were many articles in European newspapers attacking the brutal rule of King Oliver II of Belgium in the African colonies.

Although Britain was the leader of the colonialists, Britain itself developed the fastest, and many atrocities lost their interests first, so Britain worked hard to abolish slavery and criticize the brutal rule of the colonies.

In the past, it was the British who worked so hard to promote it, and this time the French newspapers began to respond to it. All kinds of facts and jokes came out, and for a time the brutal nature and bloodthirsty instinct of Oliver II were vividly exposed, and they were also artistically processed with an abominable face. From a normal brutal and bloodthirsty normal person with a strong desire for power, he was shaped into an abnormal human existence who was perverted because of eccentricities and inexplicable diseases.

In the training of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, the case of King Olibald II of Belgium was used as a teaching material, which fully proved the European methods in 'fighting down, fighting stinks first'.

Faced with such strong pressure, the Belgian parliament had to convene a meeting to demand that Olybald II himself surrender the colony that hung in his name. In the face of the pressure of the Parliament, His Majesty the King was furious, and left the table angrily with the cruel sentence of 'If you don't have a land, you will have a life', leaving behind the stunned parliamentarians.
