Chapter 1032: The Persian Gulf as a dowry

Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia are only twelve years old this year. However, in the upper class of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and even in the world, it was already very famous. The royal families and royal families of many countries have shown signs of wanting to marry the Ottoman Turkish Empire. It's just that they were all rejected. As an Islamic country, the royal family of the Ottoman Turkish Empire rarely married non-Muslim countries.

Now, the Ottoman Turkish Empire actually offered to marry the Chinese Empire, and the objects of the marriage were still Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia, how could Wei Yuan not be surprised? After all, she was the princess of their Ottoman Empire, which was regarded as a treasure!

"Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our country already has a crown princess and a side concubine. If the two princesses get married, they can only be the prince's side concubines, will this be too wronged for them? Wei Yuan asked. After all, Crown Prince Longhua had already held a wedding before the start of the war. Obviously, the empire will not let the crown prince re-establish the crown princess for the sake of the two princesses of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Besides, the crown princess of the imperial crown prince is the future queen, and she can only be Han.

"Haha, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, you have misunderstood. The Ottoman Turkish Empire does not want to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we want to marry His Majesty the Emperor! Ambassador Hassan said.

"What? Marriage with His Majesty? Wei Yuan was completely stunned. Emperor Long Yufei is forty-four years old this year, while the two princesses of the Ottoman Turkish Empire are only twelve years old. Isn't this a typical old cow eating tender grass? Of course, this is a common occurrence in this day and age. It's just that the woman's identity is a princess of the noble Ottoman Turkish Empire. That's a little different. Could it be that the sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and those ministers are crazy? They would agree to marry two princesses who were like treasures to an old man who was older than their father.

"Your Excellency, Ambassador. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was going to marry His Majesty? Wei Yuan almost thought he had misheard.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was very sincere. We hope to forge a closer relationship with the Chinese Empire! Ambassador Hassan said sincerely.

"Your Excellency, I need to report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor. However, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not object! Wei Yuan said. After all, it's a good thing for a man. As long as it is a man, who would refuse to marry a pair of twin sisters as little wives? Although the Imperial Emperor Long Yufei is already forty-four years old, but. This age is the time for a man to be in the prime of life!

"Haha, that's great! Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, then I await your good news! Ambassador Hassan said.

Subsequently, Wei Yuan personally sent Ambassador Hassan out of the house. After all, once the marriage between the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire was successful, the relationship between the two countries would reach a new level. This is also very important for the future layout of the empire in the Middle East and Europe.

"Someone. Prepare the car and go to the palace immediately. In addition, the ruling Prime Minister, the Chief of the General Staff. Let them go to the palace too, there is something important to discuss! Wei Yuan commanded excitedly.

"Yes. My lord! The housekeeper in the house hurriedly sent someone to call Prime Minister Lin Zihao and Chief of General Staff Sun Hao. And Wei Yuan. got into a car and rushed to the palace. Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening. But this is a big matter that has to be decided by kuài.

When Wei Yuan rushed to the palace, Emperor Long Yufei was waiting in the study. Prime Minister Lin Zihao and Chief of the General Staff General Sun Hao. It's all here. They also didn't know what Wei Yuan had called everyone together for. Could it be that there is a problem within the alliance, and there are two or five boys? In this case, this is a big problem for the Empire.

"See Your Majesty!" After seeing Long Yufei, Wei Yuan hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be polite. Master Wei, you called us all so late, what happened? Long Yufei asked.

Prime Minister Lin Zihao and Chief of General Staff General Sun Hao also looked at Wei Yuan curiously.

"Your Majesty, the minister has just finished a meeting with Hassan, the ambassador of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to China!" Wei Yuan said.

"The Ottoman Turkish Empire's ambassador to China? Could it be that they questioned the Reich because the Reich's troops stopped their offensive against the Russians? General Sun Hao, Chief of the General Staff, asked with a frown.

"General Sun, this is just one aspect. What's more, the Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted to marry the Empire! The speed of the Ottoman Turkish Empire Abdul. Mejid I wants to marry his two daughters, Princess Hedis and Princess Lephia, to the Empire! Wei Yuan continued.

"Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia? The twins? That's not Abdul. The jewel of Mejid I? Prime Minister Lin Zihao also asked in surprise. He had been an envoy to the Ottoman Empire, so he naturally knew the reputation of the two princesses in the Ottoman Empire. Because of this, he was surprised.

"It seems that the Ottoman Turkish Empire was planning for the post-war period. If they have the support of the Empire, they will definitely be able to get more benefits after the war. Of course, this is not bad for the empire. Through this war, the empire will be able to pull Britain down from the throne of world hegemon. However, the empire was too far away from Europe. When the time comes, other European countries will definitely be careful. If there is the support of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, then our interests in Europe will undoubtedly be guaranteed! Long Yufei said. He had no objection to strengthening relations with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. After all, although the Ottoman Turkish Empire has developed rapidly in recent years, it is a decadent and backward empire after all, and even if they gain more benefits, they will not pose a threat to the empire. However, the Kingdom of Prussia, or the unified German Empire, was to become the main adversary of the Reich after the war.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Marriage with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which favored the Empire. However, I'm afraid I have to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Of course, Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia are both famous beauties, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not suffer! Prime Minister Lin Zihao said with a smile.

"What's the loss? For the good of the empire, even if it is a sow, it must be married! Long Yufei also said.

Obviously, they also regarded the object of their marriage as the crown prince Longhua. After all, the royal family is now thin in blood, except for Emperor Long Yufei, there is only the crown prince Longhua. And Long Yufei is too old, more than Abdul. Mejid I was more than ten years older, and only the crown prince Longhua was the same age as the two princesses.

"Haha!" Wei Yuan couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Long Yufei and Prime Minister Lin Zihao couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what Wei Yuan was laughing at.

"Your Majesty, the object that the Ottoman Turkish Empire wants to be close to is not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Your Majesty!" Wei Yuan said.

"What? I? Long Yufei was also stunned, as if he couldn't believe it. He is forty-four years old this year, and he is more than Abdul. Mejid I was 13 years older, more than thirty years older than the two princesses. This age gap seems to be a little too big.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Ottoman Turks want to marry you! Wei Yuan said affirmatively.

"What is the Ottoman Empire trying to do?" Long Yufei couldn't help frowning.

"Your Majesty, this is no harm to the empire! Even if it is a sugar-coated cannonball of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but, the two little princesses of the water spirit, Your Majesty has to laugh at it! Besides, as His Majesty said just now, for the sake of the empire, even a sow can be married! Prime Minister Lin Zihao said immediately.

Long Yufei couldn't help but be a little speechless, after he was over forty, he was no longer so interested in women. After all, there are so many beautiful women in the world, he can't marry them all!

"Your Majesty, marrying with the Ottoman Turkish Empire is of great benefit to the Empire." Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said.

"Your Majesty, if the Ottoman Turkish Empire can become our hardcore ally, then the Ottoman Empire will be able to strengthen its military presence in the Middle East and the Balkans. If the future Reich were to go to war with the Kingdom of Prussia or the German Reich, there would be more allies to support it! Chief of the General Staff, General Sun Hao, said.

Obviously, these ministers of the empire were also very much in favor of marriage with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. In their opinion, compared with the emperors in history, Long Yufei is already greatly inferior in the harem. Now for the good of the empire, to marry two princesses of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, that is simply nothing.

"Well, I know what you mean! Isn't it just marriage? Anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't suffer. Long Yufei said.

"Haha!" The ministers burst out laughing.

"Sue sù to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, I agree to the marriage. However, the Ottoman Empire had to prepare a dowry. Don't do more, just give the Persian Gulf as a dowry to the empire! Long Yufei said directly.

"The Persian Gulf?" Everyone was stunned.

"Your Majesty, it's just a desert!" Chief of the General Staff, Admiral Sun Hao, said with a frown.

"That's right, it's a desert! However, underneath that, there is a lot of oil buried, lots and lots of oil, enough oil for the empire to use for hundreds of years! (To be continued......)
