Less than ten kilometers from Thermopylae was the headquarters of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's army attacking the Kingdom of Greece. Lutfipasha was standing in front of the headquarters, watching the Ottoman Turkish army's assault on Thermopylae with a telescope. Counting today, it has been a whole week since his troops were blocked here.

The hot spring pass was originally a narrow passage, facing the sea on one side and a cliff on the other, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the previous two battles, the Greek army suffered heavy defeats and suffered heavy losses, and withdrew all the way to the Peloponnese. However, after retreating to Thermopylae, the Greek army stopped its retreat and began to defend itself against the attacks of the Ottoman Turkish army, which, with the help of favorable terrain, had already repelled the attacks of the Ottoman Turkish army several times.

Omar. Lutfipasha's face gradually became ugly. In the telescope, the Ottoman Turkish army braved the hail of bullets from the Greek army. However, they were able to fight only the bullets and shells of the Greek army with flesh and blood. And the artillery of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, because of the angle of fire, did not do much damage to the defending Greek army at all. Under the influence of each other, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's attack was constantly weakening.

"Hell, those cowards! Allah should have sent those guys to hell! "Omar. Lutfipasha said viciously.

"Your Excellency Pasha, it is really because the Greeks are so vile that they hide behind steep mountain walls and attack our army, and we simply cannot break through their defenses. If they dare to fight us on the plains. We can definitely beat them lightly! An officer of the Ottoman Empire was unconvinced.

The previous battles have undoubtedly proven themselves. At the time of the decisive battle on the plains, the Greek army was no match for the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"Idiot! Now it's a life-and-death battle. How could the Greeks give up their superiority? "Omar. Lutfipasha scolded. After all, if it were him, he would definitely not give up the advantages in his hand and fight hard with the enemy.

The Greek army, with the help of favorable terrain, undoubtedly withstood the offensive of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, could do nothing about it and could only remain in such a stalemate. Over time, it became more and more unfavorable for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. After all, Greece was not the only enemy of the Ottoman Empire. There was also the mighty Austro-Hungarian Empire on the sidelines. In addition, these 200,000 troops fought in Greece, and the daily consumption of supplies was also an astronomical amount. If this continues, it will bring down the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"Dear Pasha, if we can attack by sea, perhaps this situation can be solved. We can attack Athens directly from the sea! If Athens can be captured, then. Greece is dead! Another officer said.

Omar. Lutfipasha nodded, it was a good way to get around the treacherous terrain of the Peloponnese. It's just a pity that the naval strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was weak. Especially when Greece was independent, in the midst of the war with Britain and France. The navy of the Ottoman Empire had been completely lost. Even after all these years, it has not recovered. In addition, the Ottoman Turkish Empire lacked enough transport ships to transport troops to Greece. The Aegean Sea is not wide though. But it is also possible to drown people.

"Report the problems we are facing to Istanbul!" Omar. Lutfipasha had no choice but to take this approach.

Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Although because of the war, the city already seems to be a bit depressed. But. Because the Ottoman Turkish army continued to achieve victories on the front line, the whole city was plunged into joy. Countless Ottomans, spontaneously organized to celebrate the victory. It was as if they had already seen the day when the Ottoman Turkish Empire would be revived.

Speed Abdul. Inside the palace of Mejid I, His Majesty the Great Sultan is listening to the report of the Chief Pasha.

"Your Majesty, our army, is progressing very smoothly at the moment. On the Black Sea coast, our army has successfully defeated the Russians and has now entered the Don Valley. Another unit from the Balkans, the Russians are fighting on the plains of Ukraine. The victory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in this war is just around the corner! "Ali. Pasha said.

"Very well, I knew that under the guidance of Allah, we would be able to win this war!" Abdul. A smile on the face of Mejid I. The fact that the Ottoman Turkish Empire's armies were overwhelming on the battlefield undoubtedly meant that the revival of the Ottoman Empire was only one step away. A powerful Ottoman Turkish empire was about to be revived in his hands.

The ministers present were all complimented with smiles on their faces. It's just that there is a trace of worry in the eyes of some people. They all understood that the Ottoman Empire was able to achieve victory not only because of the Ottoman Empire. Without the help of other allies, it would have been almost impossible for the Ottoman Empire to win.

In the case of Russia, the old enemy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, if it were not for the Chinese Empire holding back the main power of the Russians, how could it be possible for the Ottoman Turkish Empire to win? You know, before the war, Russia's standing army was only 1.5 million men. The Chinese army dragged on by 1 million, and the remaining 500,000, minus the troops deployed elsewhere, was actually only 300,000 for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Therefore, it can be said that the Ottoman Turkish Empire completely picked up a big bargain this time.

"Judging from the current situation, except for the European battlefield, which is still unclear, almost all the rest of the battlefields are dominated by our Asia-Europe military alliance. Therefore, our Asia-Europe military alliance has a great possibility of winning this war. The world of the future will be dominated by us. "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha also said. Although there are still some small problems, he is also full of confidence in the future situation.

"Yes, the future victory belongs to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, as well as to our allies! The future Ottoman Turkish Empire will become one of the masters of the world! "Abdul. Mejid I said excitedly. He seemed to be interested in the future masters outside the city.

"Your Majesty, I believe that in order to maintain the future position of the Empire, we need to strengthen our ties with our allies, especially the Chinese Empire. There is no doubt that after this war, the Chinese Empire will replace the British Empire as the most powerful country in the world. Their navy could easily defeat the British Empire, the overlord of the sea. Their land forces are able to fight in several theaters of war, and they have the advantage in all of them. What's even more terrifying is that they have a population of more than 400 million, which means they don't have to worry about running out of soldiers. Therefore, if you can have a good relationship with the Chinese Empire, it will be very beneficial for the future of the Empire! "Fouad. Pasha also said.

Abdul. Mejid I nodded, although he didn't want to believe it, but he also had to admit that the Chinese Empire was indeed much more powerful than the Ottoman Turkish Empire. You know, the Ottomans are all descendants of the Turkic people. After the original Turks were defeated by the powerful Central Plains Dynasty, the participating forces had to migrate westward in order not to be wiped out. This led to the current Ottoman Turkish Empire. This made the Ottoman Turkish Empire always have a kind of reverence for the powerful Central Plains Dynasty.

"So, tell me, how should we strengthen our relations with the Chinese Empire?" Abdul. Mejid I asked.

"Your Majesty, Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia are twelve years old. We may be able to marry the Chinese Empire! "Ali. Pasha said.

Abdul. Mejid I couldn't help frowning, Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia, they are twins, they were born very beautifully, and they are also Abdul. The jewel of Mejid I. Usually he treats him as a treasure, but now he wants to use it to marry the Chinese Empire? This makes Abdul. Mejid I was somewhat reluctant.

"Your Majesty, when the war is over, the Asia-Europe military alliance will dominate the whole world. However, I am afraid that there is still a struggle for how to distribute the interests of the world. If we can form a relationship with the Chinese Empire, then we will undoubtedly be able to get the support of the Chinese Empire. When the time comes, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will regain its hegemony across Asia, Europe and Africa outside the city! "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha also said.

Abdul. Mejid I nodded, and in the face of the interests of the country, there seemed to be nothing wrong with sending his daughter out to marry.

"Okay, so who are we married?" Abdul. Mejid I asked.

"Your Majesty, of course, our marriage partner is the emperor of the great Chinese Empire!" Ali. Pasha said immediately.

"What? The emperor of the Chinese Empire? The emperors of the Chinese Empire are already 44 years old, and Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia are only 12 broken! "Abdul. Mejid I said with some anger. Even Abdul. Mejid I himself was only 31 years old. 13 years younger than the Emperor of China! Now he wants to marry his daughter to the Chinese emperor, which is too difficult.
