"Britain and Russia are hostile, and we can rely on the strength of the British against Russia, and as we all know, the current Russian-German relations are very good. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Schefkate said.

"The confrontation between Britain and Russia has a long history, even dating back to the time of the Crimean War, but so what? The British have never shown mercy to your country, such as Egypt. Can you rest assured about such a country? ”

"We have looked back at history and predicted that in the future, if Russia's expansion in the Far East fails, the wounded double-headed eagle will have to turn its gaze back to Europe, and there is only so little place for Europe to intervene now, where do you think? Who will the Russians deal with? Is it Germany, Austria-Hungary? Or the poorest and weakest Turkey? The prince asked.

"Never forget that Russia is a European country, and his attention may be turned to other areas for the time being, but the pursuit will come back. The tsar, who professed to be the protector of the Slavic peoples, would be indifferent to the territory of your country in the Balkans? Do you believe that? ”

"Can I understand that in the future, France, Russia, and England will all be enemies of the Ottoman Empire? At the same time, it will become an enemy of your country, because we have a common enemy, so we can be friends? Shefkite quickly figured out the key.

The kindness of the Germans is not given in vain, it must be rewarded! The French were Germany's old enemies, and if the Russians failed, a serious financial crisis would inevitably occur, and this would require the help of France, and the Russian-French alliance would eventually be formed under the temptation of a large number of francs. And the relationship between Britain and Germany gradually deteriorated, with the continuous growth of German power, Britain is likely to choose to ally with France, this time the British action showed this tendency, if it were not for the British themselves were still broken by the Boer War, if it were not for the Far East to contain Russia, I am afraid Britain would not have just left it at that!

Shevket's family later became the prime minister of Turkey, not only militarily excellent, but also politically more discerning, although he is not yet a clear view of the future situation, but can also see the trend, it is clear that if the alliance of Britain, France and Russia is formed, it will be a huge threat to Germany and Austria, and for Turkey, it will be a catastrophe!

Shefkite carefully looked at the huge sand table on the table and began to consider what the situation of Turkey would be like if Britain and Russia joined forces.

To the north of Turkey is Russia, in the direction of the Black Sea and Transcaucasia, the Russians put huge pressure on the Ottoman Empire, and in the Balkan direction, it is Serbia, the younger brother of the Russians.

To the west of the empire was Egypt, a vassal state of the British. To the east of the empire is Persia, but now Persia has been turned into a semi-colony by Britain and Russia. A little further east is the most important colony of the British Empire, India! The Indian Ocean and the Eastern Mediterranean were the backyards of the British Empire's navy.

After scanning his eyes on the huge sandbox, Shevkite found that Turkey in the future would be surrounded by great powers, Turkey has a relatively rich Asia Minor and the two river basins, and even Libya, which has become an enclave, is full of attraction for some countries. If there is no support from other powers, Britain and Russia may even have to add France, and I am afraid they will all be eager to get a piece of the pie!

Perhaps because of German pressure, Britain and Russia may suspend the partition of Turkey, but this is a matter of time, as long as Britain and Russia do not fail, then sooner or later they will attack Turkey, and as a patriot, Shefkite's main concern for the territorial integrity of the empire will eventually come to naught.

"The saddest thing about being a weak country is not to take refuge in a strong country, but to have no use value, and no strong country is willing to let him take refuge!" Afterwards, Shefkite wrote in his diary, it looks cruel and helpless, but this world is like this! What has no value will eventually disappear! Shefkite understands that the Ottoman Empire can only have one reliable ally in the future, that is, Germany, and if Germany is gone, then sooner or later the Ottoman Empire will be carved up by Britain and Russia!

"It seems that we should thank your country for giving us an opportunity to be used as an important link in the blockade of Russia." Shefkite said expressionlessly.

"It should be said that it is mutual benefit, of course, if you feel that the word is more ugly, it would be better to change it to cooperation!" The prince smiled and said: "But with all due respect, the current Turkey is not qualified to cooperate with Germany, because he is too weak and rotten from the roots!" I think you know what I mean. ”

"Are you trying to persuade me to launch a mutiny, a top-down reform after taking power?" Shefkite asked.

"Reform is necessary, there is no basis for building a modern power in Turkey now, if it is only a problem of industry, technology and capital, Germany can help, but if it is a problem of system and regime, then you can only let your country change itself!"

"I agree with the fact that the Sultan wants to combine secular power and religious power, and expects to rely on ****** religion and the saber in his hand to maintain the rule of the empire, but in fact for the poor and weak Turkey, the military is not enough to completely suppress the growing national independence elements, and the strengthening of the position of ****** religion will make the religious contradictions in various places more prominent. Thus planning various contradictions within it. ”、

"Of course, the most important thing is that the Sultan is all about consolidating his rule, and is more about restricting his citizens through political, military and legal means, rather than thinking about how to change the status quo of Turkey's poverty and weakness! In fact, Turkey's weakness and repeated defeats are the root cause of all problems, and the people's lives have not improved, but they have to face more and more harsh rule, which is to quench their thirst! In one sentence, Shefkite points to the root of the problem.

It is definitely not possible to solve the problem with a mouth cannon without a cannon, but sometimes it is not possible to solve the problem with a cannon without a mouth cannon, especially if your own cannon is not very powerful! The so-called Enwei is at the same time, both hands should be hard! It is not enough to use violence to make the other side submit, don't you see, Russia at its peak ruled one-sixth of the world's land, and 100 years later, it still becomes Russia?
