Wilhelm I's eyes shone with an inexplicable light. Indeed, the current situation is very unfavorable for Germany. However, the war had only just begun, and Germany had not yet reached the point of real exhaustion. Although the right hook plan did not go well, Germany was not without a way to reverse the current situation. It would be the best way to create more time for Germany with the help of its allies.

"Contact the Germans and let them find a way to control the sea in the Mediterranean! Now the main forces of the Chinese Navy are held back by us, and as long as they can defeat the Spanish Navy, then the Mediterranean Sea is theirs. William I said. He had already decided to let the navy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire be cannon fodder to buy time for Germany. This is better than a decisive battle between the German Navy and the Chinese Navy!

"Yes, Your Majesty! However, the Ottoman Empire was not stupid, and they probably won't listen to our arrangement! "Foreign Secretary Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron said. Now, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is actively preparing to launch a counterattack on the eastern part of the Asia Minor Peninsula, defeating the kingdoms of Afghanistan, Egypt and Najd in one fell swoop. Under these circumstances, it would be unrealistic to expect the Ottoman Turkish navy to take the German Empire under fire.

"Tell them that if the Empire's right hook plan does not succeed, the Ottoman Turks will not be able to achieve a final victory even if they defeat the kingdoms of Afghanistan, Egypt, and Najd. As long as the Chinese can free their hands, they can be completely wiped out in one fell swoop. Only after the empire had gained superiority in Europe did the Ottoman Turkish Empire have a chance of victory. Other than that. Sue them if they can defeat the Spanish navy. After the war, the entire Mediterranean was to fall under the sphere of influence of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. We will acquiesce to all that they have for the Suez Canal. The Spanish Kingdom's colonies in Africa were also to be given to the Ottoman Turkish Empire. William I didn't blink an eye. These conditions were immediately prescribed. Either condition, it was not something that the Ottoman Empire could resist.

"Father, do you really want to give so many benefits to the Ottoman Turkish Empire?" Frederick. Crown Prince William was a little unwilling. After all, the importance of the Mediterranean Sea is needless to say, and after the end of the war, Germany must find a way to control the Mediterranean Sea in its own hands, how can it be handed over to the Ottoman Turkish Empire? As for the Suez Canal, it's even more important. It has become the most important waterway connecting the East and the West. The annual cost of navigation is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, even in Germany. It's also coveted for this.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is proposing these conditions in order to allow the Ottoman Turkish Empire to contribute. When the war is over, we can talk to the Ottoman Empire again! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said. After all, the German Empire could not afford to give up so many lucrative interests, and they were only temporarily using these interests to attract the Ottoman Turkish Empire. After the end of the war, the German Empire could completely disown it. Of course, that's an afterthought. The Ottoman Turks could not be made aware of until they attacked. Although now the Ottoman Turkish Empire was an important ally of Germany. However, Germany also had to think about it for the sake of the post-war.

"Oh, I see!" Frederick. Crown Prince William suddenly realized. He did not rush to shame for deceiving the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Instead, I think it should be so. As a racist who believes in white supremacy, how can those pagans of the Ottoman Turkish Empire have so many interests in their hands? Merely. Because of the existence of the great enemy of the Chinese Empire, the German Empire had to cooperate with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Wait until they have overcome a strong opponent. For the sake of profit, there will inevitably be cracks. Or even hostile.

"Count Ron, find a way to convince the Ottoman Turkish Empire, this is very important for us!" William I said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Albrech. Feng. Count Ron nodded, he knew that it was a matter of whether the German Empire could turn the tide of the war. If the Ottoman Empire refused to send troops to threaten the shipping lanes in the Mediterranean, the German Navy would have to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese Navy. However, the German Navy did not have the confidence to defeat the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy. Therefore, it is best to let the Ottoman Turkish Empire go first at this time.

Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. After the start of the war, the defense line in Istanbul was already strengthened. Especially in the last war, the Ottoman Empire suffered heavy losses, losing all the territory of the eastern part of Asia Minor and the Palestinian region. This put the security of the Ottoman Turkish Empire at great risk. After the outbreak of this war, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was actively preparing for war, preparing for a disgrace. Not only to retake the eastern part of Asia Minor and Palestine, but also to invade the Persian Gulf region, and to make those hateful Chinese pay a heavy price. As for the kingdoms of Afghanistan, Egypt, and Najd, they are the countries they need to perish.

To this end, the Ottoman Empire carried out a frenzied expansion of its army at the beginning of the war, and with the support of Germany, the Ottoman Empire was able to expand the size of the army to four million men. Of course, this is already the result of all efforts. The total population of the Ottoman Empire is now just over 40 million. Many of them were inhabitants of the Balkan Peninsula and the plains of Ukraine who rebelled against them.

It's just that it is not possible to arm such an army in a day or two. With the mobilization speed of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, even with sufficient weapons and equipment, it would not be possible to complete the mobilization in a few months. If you want to go to the battlefield after training, you will have to wait until next year. Therefore, the strategy devised by the Ottoman Turkish Empire was to hold the line in the first year of the war, so as to prevent the alliance from breaking through their line and attacking the western part of Asia Minor. If possible, some small counterattacks can be launched. A large-scale counterattack will have to wait until next year. At that time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was really strong.

Of course, at this time, the navy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire could take on a little more tasks. However, if it were to fight hard with a strong enemy like the Chinese navy, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would not agree. They believed that the Ottoman Turkish Empire's navy, while strong, was far from being able to compete with the Chinese navy. The heavy task of confronting the Chinese Navy can only be fulfilled by the Germans. The Ottoman Turkish Imperial Navy finally had so much money that it naturally couldn't be easily damaged.

However, the Ottoman Turkish Empire intended it this way. However, the situation has developed and their plans have to be changed. The Ottoman Empire's ambassador to China was appointed by the German Foreign Minister Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron made an urgent appointment. The ambassador of the German Empire to the Ottoman Turkish Empire also urgently called on Mustafa, who was in charge of foreign affairs in the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Lester. Pasha. The Germans had only one aim, and that was to make a naval sortie from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, defeat the Spanish navy, take control of the Mediterranean, at least the eastern Mediterranean, threaten the shipping lanes of the Mediterranean, and buy Germany more time.

Such a big thing, Mustafa. Lester. Pasha didn't dare to agree, so he had to ask Sultan Abdul. Report of Mejid I. And Abdul. Sultan Mejid I summoned a group of ministers to discuss the issue. Now that the German Empire had become the most important ally of the Ottoman Empire, it was difficult for the Ottoman Empire to refuse its demands. After all, without the support of the German Empire, the Ottoman Turks would have been very difficult to resist in the event of an attack by the Chinese* army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Germans want us to defeat the Spaniards and control the Mediterranean routes, so that the Chinese cannot transport troops to Europe in a short time. Say, are we going to accede to the demands of the Germans? "Abdul. Mejid I asked.

"Your Majesty, we have received news that the attack launched by the Germans in Europe is not going well. They were in the north of the Kingdom of Belgium and lost hundreds of thousands of people. That's why they are so eager that we will buy them more time. Otherwise, once the Chinese reinforcements arrived in Western Europe, it would be impossible for the Germans to complete the predetermined plan! "Hussein. Pasha said.

Abdul. Mejid I nodded, and he naturally knew this. However, the question is how the Ottoman Turkish Empire should reply to the Germans and whether to accede to the Germans' demands.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't hurt for us to help the Germans. After all, now we are all in the same boat. If the German Reich had failed, we would not have won the war! "Ali. Pasha said.

However, Abdul. Mejid I feared the loss of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's navy. After all, it was with great difficulty that they had built such a fleet.

"Your Majesty, I am also in favor of helping the Germans. We need sea supremacy in the Mediterranean, at least in the eastern Mediterranean. That way, we'll be in a better position to attack those damned enemies! "Suliman. Pasha said. (To be continued......)
