"That's what happened."

After listening to Prince Mustafa's story, Ma Bond deliberately groaned.

In this short period of time, Ma Bond's reaction made Prince Mustafa nervous all at once.

Yes, for the prince, he had to be nervous by Ma Bond's reaction. You know, he was very worried that the purpose of his trip would not be achieved.

Moreover, for the Ottomans, they could not find a more suitable choice except for their secret ally, the Song Empire.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Prince Mustafa is so nervous.

"So what kind of assistance do you need? Fund? Weapons? Or something else? Ma Bond's performance is very good, but he won't go overboard. So, when Prince Mustafa's nervousness reached its peak, Ma Bond finally spoke.

Call!

Not bad, no refusal.

After hearing Ma Bond's words, Prince Mustafa breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

As you can hear from Ma Bond's words, he didn't reject himself, so that's a good start.

If Ma Bond refused, he really couldn't continue to say anything.

"Now we still have a lot of money? shortfall, if we can, we hope that the Empire can provide a loan in the amount of 30 million gold cheney, and at the same time, we need to be able to get 30,000 weapons and 30,000 sets of armor in the short term......"

Prince Mustafa hurriedly said what the Ottoman side needed.

Ooh!

It's a lot of things needed, but it's really okay for the Empire.

Not to mention providing these, even ten times more is no problem.

Even, there is no need to supply from the Americas at all, and the Cairo concession can be solved here.

Of course, it is impossible for Ma Bond to say these words to Prince Mustafa.

He could only think about it in his own heart.

However, it seems that the reaction of the other prince is still very good, exactly what he hoped.

Case. Then what's the problem.

The empire hoarded a lot of supplies here in the Cairo Concession.

For example, the weapons and armor that Prince Mustafa needed, and even the food needed by the army were very sufficient here in the concession.

It can be said that there was no pressure to supply to the Ottomans.

But the question is, why did the empire agree to come down so easily for Mao?

Moreover, now that Prince Mustafa and even the Ottomans have this need, then it just gives the empire a chance to enter the Arab region, doesn't it?

You know, the empire set up a concession here in Cairo in order to one day enter the Arab region and even Asia Minor.

Merely. Considering that the empire is doing so much now, the energy is too scattered.

At the same time, the Ottoman Empire was at its peak, and it was very unwise to confront the Ottomans at this time.

For these two reasons, the empire was only a concession in Cairo and did little to move into Asia.

But now it is different, the Ottomans are financially empty, and they have turned to Ma Bond.

Therefore, as the governor of the concession. A high-ranking officer of the Imperial War Department.

Of course, he thought of some things that only the top Chinese of the empire knew, and the plan for the future development of the empire.

If he didn't take advantage of it, he would be really sorry for himself.

Well, although the empire has no clear intention of entering the Asiatic region. However, this does not prevent him from getting some treaties and benefits that benefit the empire first.

Prepare the first favorable arrangements for the future empire's entry into Asia.

Thinking of this, Ma Bond groaned again.

Prince Mustafa was once again disturbed by Ma Bond's behavior.

For Mabond, he certainly wouldn't let Mustafa get what the Ottomans wanted so easily.

Meantime. He thought quickly in his own heart, thinking about what he should do to maximize the interests of the empire.

Zhao Hongyu's Chinese genetic people, although there are some strange existences.

But there's no denying it. Most of the Chinese genetic people are full of adherents of Chinese chauvinism.

Therefore, for these Chinese descendants, as long as they can make the imperial Chinese descendants stand on top of the world and become a noble race.

They no longer care what kind of means they use and what consequences they will have on other races.

And Ma Bond happens to be a person of Chinese descent in the empire who supports this point of view very much.

In other words, Ma Bond is also a Chinese chauvinist.

Therefore, Mustafa asked for Ma Bond, so how could he not pay a big price.

For these, Prince Mustafa is impossible to understand.

"You need a lot of things, and borrowing is not a small amount. Thirty thousand pieces of armor and weapons, even if the Empire agreed, would take a lot of time to ship them from the Americas. Not to mention that after we negotiate here, we will send someone to deliver a letter to the Empire. ”

What Ma Bond said is very true.

Mustafa is also very clear about this.

However, at the beginning, Prince Mustafa was still a little worried about this.

But when Ma Bond's voice fell, His Royal Highness the prince's face suddenly looked much better.

While Prince Mustafa is not a very qualified heir to the empire, he is not a brain-dead idiot either.

From Ma Bond's words, he has already heard some favorable information.

That is, Ma Bond said, 'After he has made a deal here, he will send a letter to the Americas', and the meaning of this is self-evident.

This shows that for the problems he requested, Ma Bond can call the shots here, and does not need to report to the Empire, and then let the Empire make a decision.

Of course, it can also be seen from this that the power of the governor of the imperial concession is still very large.

But think about it, the three concessions of the empire today are all far away from the Americas mainland. Therefore, the governor of the concession has full discretion in many matters.

In order to avoid some tricky things that are too late to inform the local community.

However, the candidates for the governor of the concession are carefully selected, so the empire does not have to worry about the governor of the concession doing something unfavorable to the mainland.

Besides. Zhao Hongyu cultivated these Chinese genetic people through the virtual world now maintain more than 99 loyalty to him.

With this kind of loyalty, the chance of betrayal is almost non-existent.

So, there is no need to worry about such troubles at all.

But in any case, it is a good thing for Mustafa that Mabond has such a decision.

However, Ma Bond also raised a very serious question.

That is, it may be a little too late in time.

That's a bit of a hassle.

You know, the Serb uprising in northern Ottoman is now in full swing. Because of the intensification of this riot. The entire northern part of the Ottoman Empire was completely in turmoil.

Led by the Serbs, people from Bulgaria and Macedonia joined the uprising.

If the uprising was not suppressed as soon as possible, the Ottoman Empire would even collapse.

So, time was very important for the Ottomans.

But according to Ma Bond, it will take at least a year to go back and forth.

Who knows what will happen in a year's time, and the Ottoman Empire may or may not be in chaos.

So, ah. Prince Mustafa is also starting to worry.

Seeing Prince Mustafa's brows furrowed, Ma Bond smiled secretly in his heart.

Small, don't you obediently fall into my full set now?

What about the prince, it can't be that he was born badly and will be reincarnated.

But in front of me. Don't you want to obediently follow Lao Tzu's plan?

Ma Bond thought very badly.

"What then? Is there any way to fix it? ”

After thinking about it, Prince Mustafa could only look at Ma Bond, his eyes full of supplication and hope, hoping to hear something from him that would solve the problem.

Fortunately, Mabond did not disappoint Mustafa either. He nodded in Mustafa's expectant gaze.

"It's not like there's no solution, but what can you offer us?"

Mustafa could not open his mouth and state the conditions that the Khalabha, that is, his father, had given him before he left. It was interrupted by Ma Bond raising his hand.

Ma Bond continued: "Your needs are not small, and if we promise you, we will have to pay a big price on our side. Therefore, whether this thing can be done or not depends on the sincerity of your side. So, I hope you can think it through before answering me. ”

The idea was obvious, and that was to tell Mustafa that even if they negotiated a loan and the supply of weapons, armor, and supplies, the price on the Empire's side might not be low.

If the Ottoman prince Mustafa did not have the conditions to get his hands on it, then this matter would probably be very mysterious.

There were no fools present, and this meaning could be heard.

Don't look at the empire and the Ottomans secretly as allies, but even if the allies help each other, it is not gratuitous.

Everyone understands this very well.

After thinking about it carefully, Prince Mustafa took a deep breath, and then said to Ma Bond with a serious and solemn expression: "Our conditions here are very good, but I don't know if you can call the shots here, and at the same time meet our requirements in the short term to provide weapons, armor and supplies." “

Ma Bond smiled, and smiled very easily.

"Your Royal Highness, don't worry, I can make up my mind on this matter. And also have the ability to provide the things you need, and all I'm going to listen to now is the price you're offering......"

Negotiations, and so began. (To be continued......)
