The current Ottoman Sultan Abdul. Hamid II was a monarch of mediocre intellect and a serious lack of security.

In 1881, after Turkey's defeat in the war against Russia, Abdul. Hamid II took the opportunity to dissolve Parliament, stop implementing the constitution, and exile the capable Prime Minister Midhart in the name of defeat in the war. From then on, he lived in the Ildiz Palace in Constantinople, relying on the secret police to maintain a dictatorship for more than a decade.

If history does not change, this long darkness will continue for another twenty years. Especially the current Ottoman Empire, after having China's physical loans, its national strength has increased a lot. Hamid II could really sit on the throne of the Sultan until his death.

Why is Liu Xian so unoptimistic about the prospects of the Ottomans? It's because of Abdul. Hamid II is a real man.

While the Ottomans were modernizing, they embraced a lot of the Western-style cooking and nationalism, so it was not uncommon for some minority and ethnic areas to try to secede. Just suppress it. But Abdul. The repression carried out by Hamid II did carry out the first massacre of Armenians in the name of the Ottoman army as executioners. Despite facing an international outcry, Abdul. Nor did Hamid II do anything to stop these atrocities. For the heavenly world, Abdul. Hamid II attempted to promote pan-theism and to make himself the spiritual leader of the entire celestial world, in order to raise the capital of the Ottomans in their confrontation with the West. This is a stupid act!

Abdul. Hamid II's mediocre intellect was not enough to lead Turkey out of its predicament. People called him the Bloody Sultan. Equals him with tyrants and murder.

Liu Xian once moved his mind to subvert Abdul. Reign of Hamid II. A new sultan was appointed to succeed him. But it's too difficult. Abdul. Hamid II was powerful within the Ottomans. The main thing was the new Ottoman army, the Army. Also support the bloody sultan. Because Abdul. Hamid II was extremely distrustful of the Navy, he was a Continental Army through and through!

The Ottomans now had hundreds of thousands of well-trained new troops. They just have to be on Abdul. Hamid II also had faith that Abdul. Hamid II's sultan throne was solid. Judging from the current world situation, unless it is to start a war between the Ottomans and the West, Abdul. Hamid II's position is unlikely to be shaken anytime soon. Liu Xian also put aside that nonsense idea. Just honestly ask for oil, anyway, China has no thirst for land in the Middle East!

However, China is the only country in the world that believes it has no desire for the Middle East and Africa. Even neither the Ottoman Empire nor the Kingdom of Persia believed in this. In the Kuwait Agreement, Ottoman clearly stipulated that the Chinese army in Kuwait could not exceed 10,000 men if it was deployed with armored troops. It is also necessary to obtain the consent of the Ottoman side before it can be deployed. The Kingdom of Persia, on the other hand, demanded that all Chinese exploration teams exploring for oil in Persia should not allow armed escorts to appear, and that all defensive measures should be provided by the Kingdom of Persia.

The Chinese side cleanly agreed to this!

China will not deploy its precious armored forces to the Persian Gulf, thousands of miles away. It was a place full of deserts and deserts, and cavalry and machine guns could hold it up for twenty years.

But this still did not reassure the Ottoman and Persian kingdoms, and after the bilateral agreement was signed and made public, the two countries sent high-level domestic officials to visit China. The Osmans were faster than the Persian kingdom, and the Persian prince Muhammad. Ali. A month before Sha decided to leave for Beijing, Abdul. Hamid II was already determined to send his younger brother, Abdul. Mohammed. Gache sailed to the East.

Accompanied by Abdul. Mohammed. Gachi also arrived in China with the guard officer Mahmud. Shevkate and Deputy Envoy Ahmed Pasha. Pasha means general, this Ahmet Pasha is a general in the new Ottoman army, and his envoy is definitely not just a mere military man to express his gratitude. He further represents the meaning of the Ottoman new army.

The Ottomans needed tanks, they needed artillery. Submarines and torpedo boats are needed. The latter, the Sultan of the Continental Army, also acquiesced to this. The presence of submarines and torpedo boats could have helped protect Ottoman interests and security in the Mediterranean. This was also what the Ottoman Army needed.

At this point, it can be seen that the Ottoman military still has some ability. They didn't dwell on the view of the portal. Think about it holistically!

Abdul. Mohammed. Gaci didn't rush to Beijing as fast as he could, his task was more to 'see'. It is to observe the 'occupation' of the newly occupied territories by the Chinese. So, Abdul. Mohammed. The first stop on Gachi's eastward journey was at Yangon Port in Myanmar!

China has annexed the country as a whole. The leaders of the anti-British army, who had been grateful to China, did not return to the mountains under the banner of national independence. Because when the British left, when China had not yet thought about eating the whole of Burma, those anti-British Burmese heroes fought first, and it was fierce.

The Burmese themselves can't convince themselves! There was no way to 'establish' a recognized king of Burma, and there was no government in the eyes of these anti-British heroes, so the affairs of Burma were dragged on and on, until China and Britain were reconciled, and Burma was eaten by China. China cannot let go of Bangladesh and then follow up with Myanmar. There are also a large number of pro-British elements in this country, and a war cannot be cleaned up at all, and Liu Siam and even the entire cabinet do not want to see Burma become a civil war country again, or risk Burma becoming a second Siam.

As a result, Myanmar became a province in southwestern China. The leaders of the anti-British army have become part of the Chinese nobles, but their titles are lower. Then they were moved to Beijing one by one.

Abdul. Mohammed. Gage is well aware of this history of Burma, and he knows that the influence of the Chinese in Myanmar is very weak, and the Chinese scattered in every corner of the South Seas. There are very few in Burma, and the British have far deeper roots in Burma than in China. It's only been two years. For the 'conquest' of a place, it seems too short. But the more places like this. The more it can reveal the culture and character of the Chinese, and reveal the foreign strategy of the Chinese!

How they treated Burma and what the current situation of the Burmese people was, to a certain extent, reflected the 'heat' of China's foreign conquest!

Isn't the Ottoman Empire now worried about the ambitions of the Chinese, worried that China will also encroach on the Ottomans little by little, just like the British. Abdul. Hamid II needed a clear understanding of the Chinese' ambition and strength. I can't believe what I say, I have to walk around and see it myself.

In this regard, the Persian kingdom, which shared the same concerns as the Ottomans, chose to send people overland into Turkmenistan. Then it crossed Central Asia, entered the northwest of China, and traveled all the way overland through the whole of China, from the westernmost point to the seat of China's eastern country.

The Kingdom of Persia believed that China's actions in Turkmenistan and throughout Central Asia could better illustrate Chinese attitude and 'ambition' towards the heavenly world. This kingdom, which was even more rotten and unbearable than the Ottomans, seemed to have fully believed that China's strength could easily send troops from Turkmenistan to destroy the Persian kingdom.

This difference is put aside for the first time.

Abdul. Mohammed. After a comfortable night's sleep in a hotel in the port area, Gachi took the guard officer Mahmud with him the next day. Shefkate and two squires. Led out of the hotel by an entourage of the mission, he was free to wander around Yangon, the largest port city in Myanmar. Only the deputy envoy, Ahmed Pasha, was left to receive the local Chinese officials who were sure to visit at the hotel.

Yangon, the richest city of Burma, was ruled by the British and now Chinese for two years. The importance of this place has long surpassed that of Mandalay, and many Burmese people now think of Mandalay and Yangon. The first reaction was also that Yangon was bigger, richer and more prosperous.

In other words, during the two years that China ruled Myanmar. The living and income of the people of Myanmar has improved considerably. Their rice cultivation area is increasing because the grain trade is making money for the whole of Myanmar.

Although a portion of the profits were captured by the Chinese government. But compared to when 99 percent of the profits were taken by the British, the Burmese made too much profit. Most of these profits were divided among the upper classes of Burmese landlords and aristocrats, and even though most of the latter were no longer in Burma, this did not prevent them from keeping their estate.

That part of the profit will be calculated in millions, tens of millions, and billions of dollars. Myanmar's rice exports were 1.3 million tonnes last year.

On another note, although Myanmar is the world's largest exporter of rice, the weight of rice per capita in Myanmar is not high. According to the statistics of the British, the per capita rice production in 1865/66-1870/71 was 145 kg, and in 1871/1872-1880/81 it was 249 kg, which reflects the low labour productivity of rice operations. The ratio of exported rice to production averaged 62 per cent in 1871-1875, 58 per cent in 1876-1880 and 55 per cent in 1881-1885.

During this period, Burmese rice was mainly exported to Europe, especially the United Kingdom. Before 1885, rice exports to Europe accounted for more than 70 per cent of exports, and exports to the East, mainly from the British colonies in the East, never exceeded 30 per cent. It was high in 1876-1880 at 26.4 per cent (half of which went to India) and decreased in 1881-1885 at 21.9 per cent (4.1 per cent in India).

But now, almost all of Myanmar's rice is destined for Northeast Asia, with China, North Korea and Japan being the main consumers of Myanmar's rice, with only 5.2 percent of Myanmar's rice exports going to India last year.

Rice from Myanmar was shipped to East Asia along with rice from the Nguyen Dynasty and Nam Thien Nga Dynasty, and the export price did not seem to be advantageous compared to the past, but the price of rice in Myanmar has doubled. All these benefits have fallen into the pockets of the Burmese people! (To be continued......)
