Chapter 1031: Marriage
For the Ottoman Turkish Empire Sultan Abdul. It was completely unacceptable for Mejid I to marry his two lovely little daughters to the Chinese emperor, who was thirteen years older than him. After all, the Chinese emperor is too old, and if it is the crown prince of China, then you can still think about it.
"Your Majesty, age is not a problem. Especially for the emperor of a country, the emperor of China is now in the prime of life. Coupled with the fact that the Chinese Empire is about to become the most powerful country in the world, the two princesses will definitely be able to be happy if they marry the Chinese Emperor! "Ali. Pasha said. In the opinion of the chief Pasha, if the Ottoman Turkish Empire could get the support of the Chinese Empire, then they would definitely be able to revive and have a great advantage in the future distribution of interests after the war.
"Why, then, is the marriage not for the crown prince of China?" Abdul. Mejid I still wanted to struggle one last time. After all, the crown prince of China is only in his teens, which is more suitable.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince of China is still too young. The Chinese emperor was only in his forties, and with his physical condition, it was estimated that he could lead the country for another twenty or thirty years. The next twenty or thirty years will be very important for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. "Ali. Pasha insisted.
Abdul. Mejid I rubbed his somewhat sore head, and then said, "What about the opinions of the rest of you?" Do we have to marry the Chinese Empire? ”
Mustafa. Lester. Pasha, Hussein. Pasha, Fouad. None of the Pasha and several other important ministers of the Ottoman Turkish Empire objected to this mentions. In their opinion. If the Ottoman Empire could unite with the Chinese Empire, it would be beneficial to the future interests of the Ottoman Empire.
"Alright! Even if we agree. But will the Chinese accept it? "Abdul. Mejid I asked. After all, a slap doesn't make a sound. Even if the Ottoman Turkish Empire had this meaning, it would have to be accepted by the Chinese Empire!
"Your Majesty, the emperor of the Chinese Empire will definitely accept it. Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia are both famous beauties, treasures of our Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the emperor of the Chinese Empire will definitely not refuse. In addition, the post-war world will be dominated by the Asian-European military alliance. However, in the Eurasian military alliance. It is also full of contradictions. With the support of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Chinese Empire's world hegemony would be even more secure. Therefore, we all believe that the emperor of the Chinese Empire would never refuse this family business. "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha also said. These ministers were determined to facilitate a marriage with the Chinese Empire.
"Alright then, let the ambassador to China convey our meaning to the Chinese Empire!" Abdul. Mejid I had to compromise. Although he was reluctant to give up his two precious daughters, he also knew that the ministers were also thinking about the country. Ottoman Turkish Empire. Relations with the Chinese Empire need to be strengthened. Nothing strengthens the relationship between the two countries more than marriage.
Abdul. After Sultan Mejid I nodded, the ministers of the Ottoman Turkish Empire immediately went into action. Hussein, who is in charge of diplomacy. Pasha immediately sent a long telegram to Hassan, the ambassador of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to the Chinese Empire. Ask him to do his best to make it happen. It is clear that the ministers of the Ottoman Turkish Empire have already married into the Chinese Empire. It's a top priority.
Hassan, as the ambassador of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to China, had been in the Chinese Empire for a long time. He already has a deep understanding of the empire. Chinese Empire. Although it has not been developed for a long time, this empire has a long history and civilization after all. In just over a decade since the establishment of the empire. Rapid progress has been made. Countless factories have sprung up, railways have been built from scratch, and now it has become the country with the longest railway mileage in the world. Moreover, the rails of the Chinese Empire are not rails covered with iron sheets of wood, but all of them are steel rails, which makes the railway capacity of the Chinese Empire almost exceed that of other countries in the world combined. The combination of strong industrial power and strong military power, as well as a huge population, doomed the Chinese Empire to become the most powerful country in the world. If the Ottoman Empire can successfully marry the Chinese Empire, it will be very beneficial for the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
Received Hussein. After the telegram sent by the Pasha, Ambassador Hassan sprang into action.
"Come on, prepare the car, I will go to the residence of the Foreign Minister of the Chinese Empire immediately!" Ambassador Hassan commanded.
A few minutes later, Ambassador Hassan got into the embassy car and headed to the residence of Wei Yuan, the foreign minister of the Chinese Empire. The car was speeding all the way, but it was very smooth.
At present, the major automobile factories of the Chinese Empire are all working hard to produce military vehicles such as trucks and jeeps, and only 5,000 cars have been produced in total, and after being distributed to various departments of the imperial cabinet, as well as the imperial family and major families, there is not much left. However, the embassies of various countries that were friendly with the Chinese Empire received a car as a gift without exception.
This kind of car, which does not use livestock, but only drinks gas, immediately caused a sensation. Of course, embassies in various countries want to be able to buy more cars. However, they were told that the Empire would no longer produce such cars until the end of the war.
"This is the strength of the industrial strength of the Chinese Empire!" Sitting in the car, Ambassador Hassan thought secretly.
There is no doubt that in terms of industrial strength, the Chinese Empire is no longer inferior to the world's top powers, and even the British Empire is inferior to the Chinese Empire in many aspects. It would have been great if the Ottoman Empire had forged closer alliances with the Chinese Empire.
When Ambassador Hassan arrived at the residence of Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening. Because the staff of the Ottoman Turkish Embassy called first to make sure, when Ambassador Hassan arrived, Wei Yuan was already waiting at the gate.
"Good evening, Your Excellency, it is such a pleasure to meet you!" Wei Yuan's face was full of smiles. The current Ottoman Turkish Empire is an important ally of the Empire, especially in the war against Russia, and the Empire needs the cooperation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Therefore, Wei Yuan also attached great importance to the ambassador of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to China.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Ambassador Hassan has now become a complete China expert.
"Inside, Your Excellency, Ambassador!" After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ambassador Hassan was invited into the house.
In Wei Yuan's study, the maid retreated after giving the tea, and there were only two of them left in the study. Wei Yuan knew that Ambassador Hassan must have something important coming to him so late. At the same time, he was secretly speculating about what the Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted to do.
"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, at present our two armies have won brilliant victories on the Russian battlefield. The Chinese Army, in particular, has already annihilated a million Russian troops. Our destruction of Russia is already just around the corner. It's just that why did the army of the Chinese Empire suddenly stop attacking the Russian army? The Ottoman Turkish Empire believed that the Chinese Empire should seize this opportunity and fight the Ula Mountains in one fell swoop! Ambassador Hassan said.
"Your Excellency, we also want to destroy Russia in a war. However, that is not possible. After all, Russia is a big country, and it is not so easy to destroy them, we have to take it step by step. In the previous battle of Western Siberia, the war materials we stored were almost exhausted, and the soldiers were very tired after nearly two months of hard fighting. Add to this the fact that winter in the West Siberian plains is coming soon, and we have to prepare for it. Otherwise, we are likely to repeat the mistakes of Napoleon the Great. Therefore, we will not launch a large-scale offensive against Russia until next spring. Wei Yuan said.
Ambassador Hassan nodded, and he was okay with the explanation. After all, the winter in the West Siberian Plain and even in the north of Russia is very scary. For those who are not used to it, it is simply a disaster.
"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, now that the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire are allies, we hope that the relationship between the two countries will be even closer, not only in this war, but also in the post-war period, we should also cooperate closely!" Ambassador Hassan continued.
Wei Yuan nodded again and again, this is exactly what the Chinese Empire wants. After all, winning this war is only the first step. The distribution of benefits after the war, that is the most important thing.
"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, in order to strengthen the relations between our two countries. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted to be able to marry the Chinese Empire! Ambassador Hassan explained his intentions.
"Marriage?" Wei Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect the Ottoman Turkish Empire to mean this.
"Yes, marriage! Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, we believe that only in this way can we bring our two countries closer together! Ambassador Hassan said firmly.
Wei Yuan nodded: "So, who is the object of marriage?" ”
"Treasures of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the most precious daughters of His Majesty the Sultan, Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia."
"What? The two princesses? Wei Yuan was very surprised. As the foreign minister of the Chinese Empire, he had also heard of these two twin princesses, which were the speed of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. O the beloved daughter of Mejid I! (To be continued......)
