The Germans had not yet found the Ottoman Empire, but the Ottoman Empire had already found it first. The day after Kaiser Wilhelm I convened the Imperial Council, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's ambassador to the German Empire, Hammett, asked to see German Foreign Minister Albrech. Feng. Count Ron wanted to communicate with Germany about the discovery of oil fields in the Persian Gulf, so that the two countries could come to an agreement.

"Your Excellency, Germany is sympathetic to the plight of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in relation to the Persian Gulf. It seems to us that this qiē is all a conspiracy of the Chinese. The Chinese have known for a long time that there is oil there, so they cheated those territories out of the hands of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. This kind of behavior is simply despicable! "Albrech. Feng. As soon as Count Ron spoke, he was on the side of the Ottoman Empire. After all, the interests of both countries are the same when it comes to dealing with the pressures of the mighty Chinese Empire.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. We would like to thank Germany for its support. It is by despicable and shameless means that the Chinese have taken away the gifts that originally belonged to Allah! Ambassador Hammett looked moved. Albrech. Feng. Count Ron's statement surprised him a little, but it was more of a surprise. After all, the Ottoman Empire was in contact with Germany in order to gain German support. And the Germans are so good, which undoubtedly makes the words he prepared before needless to say.

"The German Empire has always been the best ally of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and our two countries share the same interests on many issues." Albrech. Feng. Count Ron took the opportunity to say. The German Empire had long hoped to form a de facto alliance with the Ottoman Turks against the Chinese Empire, and to unite the forces of the two countries against the Chinese Empire. However, although the Ottoman Turkish Empire intended to fight the Chinese Empire together with the German Empire, it was unlikely that they would sign an alliance. The Ottoman Turkish Empire feared becoming the first target of the Chinese Empire. They wanted to be able to balance between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. Win more benefits for yourself.

Sure enough, in Albrech. Feng. As soon as Earl Ron said this, Ambassador Hammett immediately changed the subject.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. The Ottoman Empire hoped that the German Empire would join us in putting pressure on the Chinese Empire and fighting for the interests of the Ottoman Empire. If successful. The Ottoman Empire would not forget the German Empire. We will share the oil in the Persian Gulf with the German Empire. Germany's industry is growing rapidly, and the demand for oil is growing. However, now that the world's oil is almost in the hands of the Chinese Empire, it is not so easy to grab oil from them! Ambassador Hammett said.

In order to be able to regain its own interests, the Ottoman Turkish Empire did not hesitate to cooperate with the German Empire. They knew that the Ottoman Empire was too weak and wanted to bring the Chinese Empire to its knees with the strength of the Ottoman Empire alone. That's almost impossible. They can only find more and stronger allies. And the German Empire was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. After all, the German Empire was strong enough to be a powerful country second only to the Chinese Empire. At the same time, the German Empire had a huge demand for oil, and it should not refuse the Ottoman Turkish Empire's offer. After all, this is also a great benefit for the German Empire.

"Your Excellency, the German Empire is ready to help the Ottoman Turkish Empire. However, I have to inform His Majesty the Kaiser of the specific situation! "Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron said. The Ottoman Empire had always shied away from an alliance with Germany. He couldn't help it. However, as Ambassador Hammett said, the German Empire needed oil from the Persian Gulf. If you can help the Ottoman Turkish Empire. When it comes to the oil of the Persian Gulf, that's undoubtedly the best.

"Of course, thank you for your support of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!" Ambassador Hammett had a smile on his face. Although Albrech. Feng. Ron did not explicitly accuse him, but he knew that Germany had already endorsed the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

After seeing off Ambassador Hammett, Albrecht . Feng. Count Ron immediately sent a message to Otto. Feng. Chancellor Bismarck reported the situation, and the two men went to the palace to report the incident to Kaiser Wilhelm I.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Ottoman Turkish Empire can't sit still. Otherwise. They don't reach out to us. For us, though. Undoubtedly a good thing. "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck's face was full of smiles.

"Yes, this is an opportunity for the German Reich. The Ottoman Turkish Empire presented the Chinese Empire with regard to the oil of the Persian Gulf. And the German Empire gave them some help, so that the German Empire would be able to get a piece of the pie! William I said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, what conditions should we put forward?" Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron said.

"We need oil exploration and exploitation rights in the Persian Gulf, even if it is a joint venture with the Chinese, we must have our own oil fields in the Persian Gulf." If possible, it would be better for us to be able to buy oil from the Chinese Empire at the lowest price. William I said.

Germany needs to have its own oil fields, so that there is no fear of being stuck by the Chinese. In addition, the establishment of a national oil reserve system requires a lot of money, which can undoubtedly save a lot of money if oil can be purchased at a low price. After all, the German Empire is not rich now! Being able to save a little more is a little more.

"The only question now is how to get the Chinese Empire to accede to our demands." Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

These demands, of course, were desirable to the German Reich. But the premise is that the Chinese Empire agrees, and if the Chinese Empire refuses, then all the words will be empty talk. But will the Chinese Empire refuse? It's hard to say.

"We don't ask for oil from the entire Persian Gulf, we only ask to participate, and the Chinese should not refuse!" Wilhelm I frowned, he believed that Germany's requirements were not high. If the Chinese Empire agrees, it will not cause much damage to the Chinese Empire. However, he was not sure what the Chinese Empire would choose. If the Chinese Empire resolutely disagrees, then they really have no good way.

"Your Majesty, the attitude of the Chinese Empire has always been tough. Whatever they managed to get the Persian Gulf and Iraq from the Ottoman Empire, they signed an agreement with the Ottoman Empire, and those territories already belonged to the Chinese Empire. If the Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted to take it back, it was simply impossible. If not, the Chinese Empire will directly refuse our request! "Albrech. Feng. Ron said worriedly. This is not without lessons from the past, and it is no longer possible for any country to take advantage of the Chinese Empire.

William I nodded, he also thought the question was tricky.

"So what should we do? We can't go to war with the Chinese Empire right now! William I said, there was one more sentence he did not say, but the meaning was very obvious. That is, even if there is a war now, the German Empire may not be able to win! Even with the addition of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, there is little chance of victory. After all, the last war had only been over for a year, and Germany had not yet recovered. The shortcomings of the German Navy have not yet been filled.

"Your Majesty, so even if we unite to put pressure on the Chinese Empire, it is better to have a bottom line. If the Chinese Empire reacts very strongly, we would better compromise. However, there are other measures we can take for the sake of oil in the Persian Gulf, and as long as we can participate in the oil exploration of the Persian Gulf, it will be a victory for us! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

"Well, you guys can come up with a plan! When the time comes, let the ambassador to China accompany the Turks. Germany can make its own demands and opinions, but we must not provoke the Chinese! What provokes the Chinese, let the Turks do it! Kaiser Wilhelm I said. In his eyes, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was simply a pawn.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck and Albrech. Feng. Count Ron nodded.

The Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, was very excited after receiving the promise of the German Empire. Abdul. Mejid I was even more confident that under the joint pressure of the German Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Chinese Empire would compromise. After all, both the coast of the Persian Gulf and Iraq were taken away by the Chinese Empire by despicable means. It originally belonged to the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

In Abdul. At the request of Mejid I, Ali. Pasha and Mustafa. Lester. The Pasha came up with a plan, reviewed it by them, and sent it by telegram to Hassan, the Ottoman ambassador to China. He was asked to negotiate with the Chinese Empire and fight for the legitimate interests of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

The German Empire also telegraphed Klaus, the ambassador to China, to cooperate with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and at the same time, to strive for the interests of the German Empire as much as possible. For the common good, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the German Empire came together. The two countries will unite to put pressure on the Chinese Empire to force it to agree to their share of the Persian Gulf's oil. (To be continued)
