Chapter 1313: Volunteers

"The Empire believes that in this war between the Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Afghanistan, all three of us should remain neutral and leave it to their own discretion to determine the best outcome. If we get involved, it will only make the situation more and more complicated! Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said. Now that the Kingdom of Afghanistan is in control of the victory, it will soon win, and the Chinese Empire only needs to help them resist the interference of foreign forces, and then be able to sit back and wait for the best harvest.

"No, the invasion of the Kingdom of Afghanistan against the Kingdom of Persia has undermined the stability of Western Asia. The Ottoman Empire could not tolerate such a situation, and if the Chinese Empire was unwilling to participate in this mediation, the Ottoman Empire would act on its own against the Kingdom of Afghanistan and forcibly restore the situation in West Asia to the status quo! Hassan, the Ottoman Turkish ambassador to China, said toughly.

After listening to Hassan's words, the smile on the face of Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan suddenly disappeared. Klaus, the ambassador of the German Reich to China, also secretly complained in his heart. Aren't Ambassador Hassan's words threatening the Chinese Empire? Will the Chinese Empire watch the Ottoman Turks make a move?

"Humph! If the Ottoman Turkish Empire were to act, then the Chinese Empire would not sit idly by. The war between the kingdoms of Persia and Afghanistan was settled by their two countries. If other countries try to get involved, the Chinese Empire will too. However, I advise you to think carefully about the consequences of doing so! Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said coldly.

"Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, we don't mean to get involved, it's just that we want peace to be restored to West Asia!" Klaus, the ambassador of the German Reich to China, hurriedly said. Once the countries really got involved in the war between the Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Afghanistan. It will inevitably lead to the outbreak of contradictions between countries. When the time comes, a new big war will break out if it is not done well. This is for countries. It's going to be a disaster. The German Reich tried to avoid such a scenario, if it could. They hoped that the war would be postponed for a few years, so that the German Empire would be ready for war and would not lose everything.

"The attitude of the Chinese Empire is already very obvious, and we hope that all countries will not intervene in the war between the Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Otherwise, the Chinese Empire would have intervened. Other than that, the empire has no other opinion! Wei Yuan's attitude is also very tough.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, the Kingdom of Persia has indicated that if the Kingdom of Afghanistan is willing to stop the war. They can cede Khorasan province to the Kingdom of Afghanistan, and such a price is already not small. The German Reich believed that the Kingdom of Afghanistan could quite think about it. Ambassador Klaus continued, he did not want this meeting to be fruitless, and he did not know how long he would have to wait if he wanted to see Wei Yuan again next time.

"On this issue, the German side can go and talk to the Kingdom of Afghanistan, and it has nothing to do with the empire. If the Kingdom of Afghanistan is willing to accept this condition, the empire has no objection! Wei Yuan directly shirked.

Ambassador Klaus was speechless. Germany and the Kingdom of Afghanistan have not even established diplomatic relations, and even if they want to talk to the Kingdom of Afghanistan, there is no channel! Besides, who doesn't know that the Chinese Empire is the backer behind the Kingdom of Afghanistan. As long as the Chinese Empire agrees, can the Kingdom of Afghanistan refuse? Wei Yuan replied. Apparently dissatisfied with this condition. It seems that the Chinese Empire is determined to support the Kingdom of Afghanistan and destroy the Kingdom of Persia this time. On the surface, of course, this is the case. But actually. They all knew that the Chinese Empire was coming for the German Empire. In order to cut off the German Empire's access to oil.

This meeting, still no results were obtained. In the end, it broke up unhappily. The Chinese Empire resolutely rejected the offer of Germany and the Ottoman Turks to mediate the war between the kingdoms of Persia and Afghanistan. Hopes for a diplomatic effort to resolve the war between the kingdoms of Persia and Afghanistan were dashed. There seems to be no other way than to divide the two countries into life and death.

Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan then met with Emperor Long Yufei. I told him about it. Long Yufei affirmed Wei Yuan's handling method. The invasion of the Kingdom of Persia by the Kingdom of Afghanistan was planned by the Chinese Empire at all, and naturally the Kingdom of Afghanistan would not fall short. Both the Germans and the Turks wanted to keep the Persian kingdom, which was simply impossible. This time, the Persian kingdom was dead.

At the same time, Long Yufei wanted to ask the troops stationed in the Persian Gulf and Iraq to enter the highest state of combat readiness, imitate the Germans and Turks and jump over the wall, and directly participate in the war. Of course, the two countries would not openly send troops into the Persian kingdom, and that would undoubtedly be against the empire. The empire would have plenty of reason to intervene in the war in Persia. However, the two countries were well placed to stop the Afghan kingdom's attack on the Persian kingdom by other means. For example, sending volunteers and the like.

Although the combat effectiveness of the army of the Kingdom of Afghanistan has been greatly improved, it can defeat the army of the Kingdom of Persia. But the real combat effectiveness is estimated to be somewhat inferior to that of the Ottoman Turkish Imperial Army. Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire was weak, after a world war, their army was well trained and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved. The defeat of the old rival Russia made the Ottoman Empire more able to deal with other crises with greater ease. As for the combat effectiveness of the German Army, it is even more above the Afghan Army. In the event of a German army, the Afghan Army would definitely not be an opponent, even if it had a superiority in strength.

The Imperial Army was at its highest level of combat readiness, and likewise, the Imperial Navy was also in combat readiness. The 11th Detachment of the Imperial Navy strengthened its control over the northern Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf, strictly prohibiting ships from other countries from carrying embargoed goods into the Kingdom of Persia. In the name of it, the Chinese Empire was maintaining neutrality and avoiding other countries from interfering in the wars between the Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Afghanistan. In fact, this is simply a bias frame. Don't you see the transport ships of the Chinese Empire, one after another, docking along the coast of the Kingdom of Afghanistan and transporting large quantities of war materials to the Kingdom of Afghanistan?

The rejection of the Chinese Empire was very annoying to both the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the German Empire. In particular, the Ottoman Turkish Empire believed that the Chinese Empire was doing this to change the situation in West Asia and threaten the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Therefore, they reacted immediately.

Ottoman Turkish Empire Speed Abdul. Mejid I ordered the army to move to the border with Iraq and put it in combat readiness. At the same time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire also planned to send a part of its army to the border with the Persian kingdom and enter the Persian kingdom to fight within the Persian kingdom to help the Persian kingdom resist the invasion of the Afghan kingdom.

Of course, the actions of the Ottoman Turkish Empire undoubtedly further stimulated the situation in the Persian Gulf. The Chinese Empire did not show weakness, and the troops stationed in Iraq marched to the border to confront the troops of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Although in terms of troops, the Imperial Army was at a disadvantage, but the Imperial Army was not afraid at all. At the same time, the 52nd Detachment of the Imperial Navy and the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Spanish Navy joined forces to conduct exercises in the Eastern Mediterranean, in the Aegean Sea, which made the Ottoman Imperial Turkish Navy look like a formidable enemy.

Wei Yuan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, summoned Hassan, the ambassador of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to China, and solemnly warned him. The Chinese Empire opposed the Ottoman Turks' involvement in the wars between the Persian and Afghan kingdoms in any form, and if the Chinese Empire found out, the Chinese Empire would immediately retaliate.

Hassan, the Ottoman Turkish ambassador to China, said that the Ottoman Turks had no intention of getting involved in the war and that they would maintain strict neutrality. However, everyone knows that this is nothing more than a lie.

In the event of a confrontation between the Ottoman Empire and the Chinese Empire, the Ottoman Empire had no chance of winning at all. In the same way, it was clear that the German Empire could not afford to allow the Ottoman Turks to rush ahead, which would undoubtedly cause a rift in the friendly relations between the two countries.

However, how to reverse the current crisis in the Persian Gulf, the top of the German Empire has not yet made up its mind.

"Your Majesty, the Ottoman Turkish Empire proposed that they would send a volunteer infantry division to fight in the Persian Kingdom to help the Persian Kingdom defeat the Afghan Army. The Ottoman Turkish Empire hoped that the German Army would also send a force to the Kingdom of Persia. "Said the Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Count Moltke.

"Your Excellency, if we send volunteers to the Kingdom of Persia, will we be able to help the Kingdom of Persia reverse the situation?" William I asked.

"Your Majesty, if we send an infantry division to the Kingdom of Persia, with the assistance of the Imperial Ottoman Turkish Army, we should be able to defeat the Kingdom of Afghanistan. However, the premise is that the Chinese Empire will not intervene. If the Chinese Empire had sent mercenaries into the Persian kingdom, we would not have a chance of victory. The Chinese Empire could easily send more land forces into the Persian Kingdom to fight. And we, under great constraints, are simply unable to fight with the Chinese Empire in the Kingdom of Persia. Count Moltke said.

William I nodded, the obstruction of the Chinese Empire is indeed a very difficult problem. (To be continued......)
