The ancestors of the Ottoman Turkish Empire originated from the defeated Turks during the Tang Dynasty of China, when the Tang Dynasty continued to send troops to the steppe to squeeze their living space, the defeated Turks had to migrate westward, swept all the way to Central Asia, West Asia, destroyed the Arab Empire, captured Constantinople, and destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire. Moreover, the European countries that fought were terrified.

At that time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was one of the most powerful countries in the world. However, with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the development of the Ottoman Turkish Empire gradually could not keep up with the pace of the times, and was soon surpassed by European countries. The Russians, on the other hand, expanded southward many times. In many Russo-Turkish wars, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was always more defeated than victorious. So much so that the territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was lost a lot, and not much remained of even the Balkan Peninsula.

Fortunately, the Ottoman Turks sided with the victors in this war, and through the Guò War, the Ottoman Turks not only recaptured the lost Balkans and the Caucasus, but also successfully occupied the Black Sea coast and the Ukrainian plain. It can be said that the national power of the Ottoman Turkish Empire has now returned to its heyday. And this is inseparable from the support of the Chinese Empire. Without the support of the Chinese Empire, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Ottoman Turkish Empire to regain its glory.

Of course, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is now facing a lot of difficulties. The nearly year-long war left the Ottoman Turks heavily indebted, and they were able to continue the war with the help of loans from the Chinese Empire. Without the support of the Chinese Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would have taken a sharp turn for the worse. Marry the twin princesses to the Chinese emperor who is older than himself. In order to be able to further close the relationship with the Chinese Empire, so as to obtain more assistance from the Chinese Empire.

"In that case. Then, we will accede to the demands of the Chinese. Send troops to attack Volgograd! "Abdul. Mejid I made a decision. He also knew that this would also be beneficial to the Ottoman Empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers replied one after another. Abdul. They were relieved that Mejid I was not presumptuous and refused the demands of the Chinese Empire. After all, Abdul. Privately, Mejid I still had many grievances against the Chinese Empire.

"Your Majesty, I take this opportunity today to have one more question that I need to ask!" Ali. Pasha continued.

"The post-war world will be dominated by the Asia-Europe military alliance. And in the midst of the alliance. In addition to the Chinese Empire, which was the overlord, the Kingdom of Prussia was not weak. The Prussians were certainly not willing to let the world be led by the Chinese Empire. Therefore, I expect that in the future, a fierce conflict will definitely break out between the two countries, and even a new war will detonate. When the time comes, what should the Ottoman Turkish Empire choose? "Ali. Pasha asked. As the chief pasha of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, he is only in his forties this year. However, his abilities are obvious to all. Won the Sultan Abdul. The trust of Mejid I.

"Does that need to be said? How could the Kingdom of Prussia be an opponent of the Chinese Empire. If war breaks out, of course we will be on the side of the Chinese Empire. In this way, we can become victors and get more benefits! "Fouad. Pasha said first.

"Yes. Although the Kingdom of Prussia was strong, it was compared to the Chinese Empire. The Kingdom of Prussia was still a lot weaker. Several of the great powers of the North Atlantic Military Alliance, so to speak, were defeated by the Chinese Empire. Except for Austria-Hungary. In terms of national strength, the Kingdom of Prussia was not at all comparable to the Chinese Empire. If they try in vain to compete with the Chinese Empire for world hegemony. That's just hitting a stone with an egg. "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha also said. If war broke out between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Chinese Empire, he was even more optimistic about the Chinese Empire. After all, the Chinese Empire has the most powerful navy in the world, as well as an army, and no country can compete with it.

"Can't we, the Ottoman Empire, exist as a powerful nation? Do you have to be attached to a certain big country? "Sultan Abdul. Mejid I was somewhat dissatisfied. In his opinion, after the victory in this war, the Ottoman Turkish Empire had regained its strength and was already a real power. Why can't you be independent and self-reliant, and still rely on others?

Mustafa. Lester. Pasha, Fouad. Pasha and Hussein. The three Pasha looked at Abdul in amazement. Mejid I, it seems, did not expect His Majesty the Sultan to have such ambitions. However, could the Ottoman Turkish Empire really compete with the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia for world hegemony? That seems a little too unrealistic!

"Your Majesty, with the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it is very difficult to compete for world hegemony, it can be said that it is impossible. However, we can take advantage of the contradictions between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia to seek more benefits. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was strategically located at the crossroads of three continents: Asia, Europe and Africa. Whether it is the Kingdom of Prussia or the Chinese Empire, they need to win us over. When the time comes, we can wait for the price to sell, between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, left and right! "Ali. Pasha said.

Ali. Pasha's meaning was to let the Ottoman Turkish Empire be the grass on the wall, and use the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia to compete for world hegemony, extort benefits and develop themselves. However, the name of the wall grass always sounds less satisfying.

"Will the Chinese Empire tolerate us doing this?" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha was a little worried. After all, the Chinese Empire has always been very tough, and if the Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted to play left and right, it would anger the Chinese Empire and even become the target of the Chinese Empire's suppression. If the Chinese Empire had been tougher, it would have even waged war directly against the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"It's a real problem, so we have to get it right. It is important to note that His Majesty the Sultan cannot make it clear which country he supports. Only in this way will we have more room to turn around! "Ali. Pasha said.

Everyone else nodded, and they knew that this was the best way for the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was geographically important, and it was even more important to hold the Suez Canal. Whether it is the Chinese Empire or the Kingdom of Prussia, it will win over the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Of course, if the Ottoman Empire was too greedy, it would be self-defeating.

"Your Majesty, this is just my personal opinion. At the very least, until the end of this war, we need to maintain close ties with the Chinese Empire! "Ali. Pasha continued.

"Hmmm! Reply to the Chinese, we will support their operation on the Volga defense line, let Omar . Lutfipasha led an army of 300,000 and attacked Volgograd! "Abdul. Said Mejid I.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Chinese Empire only asked the Ottoman Turkish Empire to send 200,000 men to attack Volgograd. But Mejid I increased by 100,000 men. This shows the closeness of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to the Chinese Empire.

After receiving orders from His Majesty the Sultan, Omar, who was fighting on the front line. Lutfipasha immediately rushed to Volgograd with an army of 300,000 men. It's just that it takes at least half a month to travel from the Ukrainian plain to the Volga. During this time, the armies of the Chinese Empire could only temporarily stop attacking.

During this period, four destroyers of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy, four destroyers of the 'Disha-class' and four destroyers of the Tiangang-class Improved, passed through the Guò Dardanelles Strait and entered the Black Sea. They would cross the Black Sea, enter the Don River, and swim all the way upstream, ready to help the troops of the Ottoman Empire cross the Transition River.

The lower reaches of the river are wide, and the flood season is now gradually begining, so the destroyers of the Imperial Navy can sail in the inland rivers. Of course, a battleship of the cruiser class, I'm afraid there is no way, once it enters the inland river, it will definitely run aground.

Omar. Lutfipasha's army, which was originally fighting east of Kiev, served as a flank for the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire attacking Kiev. In order to assist the Imperial Chinese Army in its offensive on the Volga defensive line, the Ottoman Imperial Army had to reduce its attack on Kiev. However, they knew that once the Imperial Chinese Army broke through the Russian army's defense line on the Volga, the whole of Russia would be completely finished. When the time comes, they will easily be able to take Kyiv.

For the generals of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, they were also proud to be able to cooperate with the Imperial Chinese Army and assist the Imperial Chinese Army in breaking through the Russian defenses. Even the mighty Imperial Chinese Army needs their help, doesn't this show that their army is already strong?

Of course, for the offensive on Volgograd, Omar . Lutfipasha, under the combined attack of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire, the Russians will definitely not be able to hold Volgograd. After all, according to the information received, there were only more than 500,000 Russians in the vicinity of Volgograd, including the lower reaches of the Volga River. In addition to the 300,000 troops dispatched by the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Chinese Empire will also invest two army groups, more than 300,000 people, and in terms of troops, the coalition forces have completely occupied the advantage. It can be said that victory is almost at hand. (To be continued......)
