On September 2, 1851, the Ottoman Turkish Empire formally signed a treaty with the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia to join the Asia-Europe Military Alliance. Covenants with other countries will be supplemented at a later date. This shows that the Ottoman Turkish Empire abandoned its neutrality and officially took sides. After joining the Asia-Europe Military Alliance, the strength of the Asia-Europe Military Alliance has been further enhanced.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire's accession to the Asia-Europe military alliance shocked all countries in the world. However, if you analyze it carefully, they all know that this is a reasonable thing. Because of Russia's existence and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was at odds with the North Atlantic military alliance, it was impossible for the Ottoman Turkish Empire to join the North Atlantic military alliance. As a world-class power, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was even less likely to remain neutral. Neither the North Atlantic Military Alliance nor the Asia-Europe Military Alliance will allow this to happen. If the Ottoman Turkish Empire does not take a stand, the final result may be that the North Atlantic Military Alliance and the Asia-Europe Military Alliance will join forces to destroy the Ottoman Turkish Empire first.

This is very likely, the two alliances will first join forces to destroy the uncertain factor, and then divide the winner or loser, so as not to fight to the death of the two alliances, and finally let other countries pick up the advantage.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire's accession to the Eurasian Military Alliance excited the countries of the Ottoman Military Alliance. Originally, after Austria-Hungary began to look at the North Atlantic military alliance, this caused great trouble to the other countries within the alliance. After all, once Austria-Hungary joined the North Atlantic military alliance, the balance of power between the two sides would be reversed. The power of the Eurasian military alliance in Europe. It will not be able to confront the North Atlantic military alliance, and it may even lose the war. Now, the Ottoman Turkish Empire joined in. This has once again balanced the power of the two sides in Europe. After the reinforcements of the Chinese Empire appeared in Europe, the Eurasian military alliance would be able to gain the upper hand!

On the other hand, the North Atlantic military alliance, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's accession to the Asia-Europe military alliance, posed a great threat to them. Britain, France, Russia, the United States and other countries have begun to act, and they urgently need to change the current disadvantaged situation.

The ambassadors of Britain, France, and Russia to Austria-Hungary began to frequently meet with senior Austro-Khalian officials. It was hoped that Austria-Hungary would make a clear statement on its membership in the North Atlantic Military Alliance. Only in this way will the North Atlantic military alliance be able to reluctantly confront the Eurasian military alliance. Only then will it be possible to win the war. If Austria-Hungary had changed its attitude, it would have been for the North Atlantic military alliance. will deal a fatal blow.

Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I wanted to join the North Atlantic Military Alliance, but Prince Felix, the Minister of Austria-Hungary, expressed firm opposition. After all, with the accession of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to the Asia-Europe military alliance. The strength of the two military alliances has been further strengthened. Austria-Hungary can't jump into a fire pit knowing it's in front of you!

"Your Majesty, I am categorically opposed to joining the North Atlantic Military Alliance. Now that the Asian-European military alliance has completely gained the upper hand, if we join the North Atlantic military alliance, we will most likely lose the war. If you lose the war, the consequences will be unimaginable! Prince Felix said bitterly. However, the Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I, however, seemed unmoved.

"Phase, you know what? Chinese and Prussians. In order to win over the Ottoman Empire, it was promised that the entire Balkan Peninsula would be given to the Ottoman Empire after the war. This is all about undermining the interests of the empire. I would never agree with that! "Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I gritted his teeth. Now, most of the Balkan Peninsula is in the hands of the early Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia obviously did not take Austria-Hungary into account! This made the young and vigorous Franz. How could Joseph I accept it?

"Alas!" Prince Felix couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Didn't Austria-Hungary force the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia to do this? If Austria-Hungary had not revealed its intention to join the North Atlantic Military Alliance, would the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia have courted the Ottoman Turkish Empire at such a cost? If Austria-Hungary had been willing to join the Assian-European military alliance in the first place, the current situation would not have existed at all. This qiē was all caused by the Austro-Hungarian Empire itself!

Of course, Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I would never have thought so. He would only think that this was the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia trying to win over the Ottoman Turkish Empire by taking advantage of the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

As for whether to join the North Atlantic Military Alliance, the Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Prince Felix was firmly opposed. The attitude of Joseph I gave rise to a conflict. Both were resolute in their refusal. The end result could only be that Prince Felix was killed by the Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I was relieved of his duties.

At the end of September 1851, the Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I ordered Prince Felix to be dismissed from his post as minister and a new one was appointed. The newly appointed prime minister is simply Franz. The echo worm of Joseph I. Therefore, it is not at all necessary to disobey Franz. The order of Joseph I, which directly made it possible for the Ottoman Empire to join the North Atlantic Military Alliance, there was no longer any obstacles.

On September 3o, 1851, Austria-Hungary signed a treaty of alliance with Britain, France, Russia and the United States, formally joining the North Atlantic Military Alliance, becoming the fifth member of the North Atlantic Military Alliance.

The accession of Austria-Hungary directly raised the strength of the North Atlantic Military Alliance by a level. This also means that several of the world's most important powers have taken sides, divided into two completely opposing alliances.

The Eurasian Military Alliance now has six member states, including the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Kingdom of Belgium. The North Atlantic Military Alliance has five member states, including Great Britain, France, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and the United States. Of course, in addition to these countries, there are many smaller countries in Europe. These small countries are not strong, and if they can join in, they are also a good supplement, at least, they can serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The Asia-Europe Military Alliance and the North Atlantic Military Alliance began to lobby other countries to increase their respective strength as much as possible. It is not enough, in this time of wooing, the Eurasian military alliance is obviously at a disadvantage!

First of all stood was the Kingdom of Greece, a small country that had just emerged from the rule of the Ottoman Empire and had been living in the shadow of the Ottoman Empire. If it weren't for the support of Britain and France, they might have been defeated again by the Ottoman Empire. Now, the Eurasian military alliance has promised to give the entire Balkan Peninsula to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which is tantamount to the destruction of Greece! For this reason, the Greek kingdom had to make a choice once again. Defecting to the North Atlantic military alliance dominated by Britain and France and confronting the Asia-Europe military alliance has become their only way out. If the North Atlantic Military Alliance can win, even if the country is destroyed in the war, it will be able to establish itself again after the war.

The second to join the North Atlantic Military Alliance was the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands had an enmity with the Chinese Empire, and when Dutch Indonesia was taken away by the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of the Netherlands paid a heavy price and greatly damaged the strength of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. After the Kingdom of Belgium was divided from the Netherlands, the Kingdom of the Netherlands originally wanted to destroy the Kingdom of Belgium and achieve unity once again. However, the Kingdom of Belgium turned out to be the in-laws of the Chinese Empire, which made the Kingdom of the Netherlands dare not act rashly at all.

Not only that, but the Chinese Empire also desperately armed the Kingdom of Belgium, which made the military strength of the Kingdom of Belgium improve by leaps and bounds. The 100,000 standing 6th Army can be expanded to 200,000 6th Army if mobilized. Coupled with first-class weaponry and the training of instructors from the Chinese Empire, the military strength of the Kingdom of Belgium could not be compared with that of the traditional powers, but it would not be much different. It is not comparable to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. However, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has not given up on reunification. The Kingdom of the Netherlands knew that it was impossible to defeat the Kingdom of Belgium on their own strength alone, and joining the North Atlantic Military Alliance gave them a chance.

The third country to join the North Atlantic Military Alliance was the Kingdom of Portugal, a small country on the Iberian Peninsula. As a neighbor of the Kingdom of Spain, the relationship between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Chinese Empire was also not good. Macao, an eastern colony that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Portugal, was forcibly recovered by the Chinese Empire. Later, when the Emperor of the Chinese Empire visited Europe, he even let the fleet shell Lisbon, which was a complete shame for the Kingdom of Portugal. However, in the face of the powerful military power of the Chinese Empire, the weak Portuguese Kingdom had to choose to endure humiliation and sue for peace with the Chinese Empire. As a result, the Yar Islands were occupied by the Chinese Empire.

From top to bottom in the Kingdom of Portugal, these hatreds are remembered. Therefore, when Britain and France were getting together, they made a promise to support the Kingdom of Portugal in recovering the Yar Islands after the war and to allow the Kingdom of Portugal to expand its territory, which immediately caused the Kingdom of Portugal to fall into the North Atlantic Military Alliance. On the Iberian Peninsula, there are only two countries, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal, which can also be said to be old enemies. If the territory of the Kingdom of Portugal could be expanded, it would no longer be afraid of the Kingdom of Spain!

Since then, the number of members of the North Atlantic Military Alliance has expanded to eight! (To be continued!)
