Chapter 1296: The Depressed Germans

If you can, the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Abdul. Mejid I would definitely tear up the agreement signed with the Chinese Empire and return the Persian Gulf and Iraq to the Chinese Empire, even if it was a double price. After all, the oil fields found there already represent great wealth. Of course, Abdul. Mejid I also knew that this was almost impossible. The Chinese will never agree to return the Persian Gulf and Iraq, and in terms of the greed of the Chinese, it is almost impossible to let them spit out the fat that they have eaten in their mouths.

"If we send troops to capture the Persian Gulf and Iraq, will the Chinese go to war with us? Will we have a chance of winning? "Abdul. Mejid I was very unwilling.

"Your Majesty, if we send troops to the Persian Gulf and Iraq, the Chinese will 100% go to war with us, that is absolute. As for the victory over the Chinese Empire, judging by the current situation, it is almost impossible. To be exact, with the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, we cannot confront the Chinese Empire! "Ali. Pasha said with great certainty, hoping to make Abdul. Mejid I dismissed this unrealistic idea. After all, while oil in the Persian Gulf is very tempting, reaching out there can be very tragic consequences.

"Bastard! Damn the Chinese, they are liars, they are thieves! "Abdul. Mejid I said angrily. In his opinion, the Chinese must have known about the existence of oil in the Persian Gulf before they defrauded those lands from the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Otherwise, how could the Chinese pay such a big price in exchange for those lands?

Ali. Pasha and Mustafa. Lester. The Pasha were silent at first. Abdul. Mejid I also thought that the Ottoman Turkish Empire had taken advantage of it, and now sees that the Chinese have found oil in the Persian Gulf. Naturally, the mind is unbalanced.

"Your Majesty, now we only keep a million army forces. And most of them were deployed in the plains of Ukraine and the Balkans to suppress the resistance of the infidels. And the total strength of the Chinese army is more than 3 million people, and the gap between us is too great. And the navy, although the Chinese Empire has already handed over those warships to us. However, our naval officers and sailors are still being trained by the Chinese, that is, our navy has almost no combat effectiveness. If you start a war with the Chinese, you will definitely lose. "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha also said. He further pointed out the gap between the military strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire. Mejid I, don't be delusional anymore.

"陛xià. While the oil of the Persian Gulf was important, the survival of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was even more important. "Ali. Pasha said.

Although, Abdul. Mejid I was outraged, but he also knew that it was almost impossible for the Ottoman Turks to retake the Persian Gulf and Iraq. Who told them to be greedy for cheapness and transfer that barren land to the Chinese Empire at a low price? If they had known in advance that there was oil there, they would not have sold it, even if the Chinese Empire had offered a high price.

"No, I can't. I really can't swallow this breath, you have to think of other ways. Even if we can't recover the Persian Gulf and Iraq, we have to find a way to get a piece of the oil extracted there. Come to think of it, a super oil field has been discovered there. The value is more than 2 billion Chinese dollars. More super oil fields will definitely be discovered in the future, otherwise the Chinese would not have focused on all the land around the Persian Gulf, as well as all of Iraq. I'm sure. The Chinese will continue to discover oil in the Persian Gulf and Iraq in the future. Even if you can get a small part of it, even if it's 10 or 20 percent. That's a great fortune too! This would be extremely important for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. "Abdul. Said Mejid I.

Ali. Pasha and Mustafa. Lester. Pasha's eyes lit up. Although in the last world war, the Ottoman Turkish Empire also gained a lot of benefits, and the war reparations alone received 2.1 billion Chinese dollars. It's just that the Ottoman Turkish Empire also needs a lot of money, and these war reparations have been almost spent. Of course, such a large amount of money was spent, which also made great changes in the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Social contradictions have been well alleviated, the people's living standards have been greatly improved, and the country's strength has also been enhanced.

Of course, the development of the Ottoman Turkish Empire would undoubtedly be better if more funds could be obtained. The oil of the Persian Gulf and Iraq is undoubtedly a golden rooster that lays golden eggs! Even if it could not recapture the Persian Gulf and Iraq from the Chinese Empire, as long as it could get a certain share of the profits, it would be enough for the Ottoman Turkish Empire to live a good life.

"Your Majesty, it is not easy to want the Chinese to divide the interests, is it very big!" Ali. Pasha said. Although the benefits are very attractive, the prerequisite is to be able to get your hands on it! This difficulty is not ordinary. Will the Chinese spit out the fat that has already been eaten in their mouths? That's almost impossible. You don't have to think about it to know that the Chinese are definitely willing to fight for oil in the Persian Gulf.

"Even if it's difficult, we need to find a way. The oil there originally belonged to us, and the Chinese shamelessly cheated the precious oil from us! "Abdul. Said Mejid I.

"Your Majesty, we can try it through diplomatic channels, but it is very difficult. In addition, if the Chinese refuse, we had better abandon this unrealistic idea. If the Chinese decide to use force against us, it will be worth the loss! "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha also said. He believes that it is not a good thing to provoke the Chinese excessively at this stage.

Abdul. Mejid I nodded, and although he was eager to reclaim the oil in the Persian Gulf, he also knew how difficult it could be. He can only hope that the Chinese will not have too much appetite and are willing to share the benefits there.

"We may be able to put pressure on the Chinese in other ways." On the coast of the Persian Gulf and in Iraq, there are so many Arabs. They have always rebelled against our rule, and if we provoke those Arabs, they will definitely cause big trouble for the Chinese! At that time, the Chinese will have the time to turn to us. And we can take the opportunity to put forward conditions. "Abdul. Said Mejid I.

After all, it would take a lot of troops to crush the resistance of those Arabs. But this part of the Middle East, with its hot climate, is not suitable for stationing a large number of troops. Rather than traveling thousands of miles to mobilize troops from within the country to the Middle East, the Chinese would better cooperate with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. In this way, they will be able to take the opportunity to demand a piece of the Middle East oil pie.

"Your Majesty is wise, this method is good. At the same time, we were able to clear our relationship. "Ali. Pasha said hurriedly.

Praised by the ministers, Abdul. Smiles were piled up on Mejid I's face.

Like the Ottoman Empire, the German Empire was stunned to learn that the Chinese Empire had found a super-oil field in the Persian Gulf. Fools know that oil will replace coal as an extremely important energy source. Everyone knows very well what it means to take control of oil. So many German geologists have gone around the territory of Germany, and not a single oil field has been discovered. But the Chinese found a super oil field in the Persian Gulf, where birds don't, which is too shocking!

It was very smooth for Germany to copy the cars of the Chinese Empire, and soon Germany would be producing its own cars. This also means that the demand for oil in Germany will increase. And almost all of the oil that Germany needs needs is imported from overseas. At present, only the Chinese Empire is exporting oil abroad. To put your own neck in the hands of the Chinese is undoubtedly a stupid act. So Germany has been looking for ways to find other oil resources. It's just that the Germans seem to have had a little worse luck. Their territory is big enough, and they can be considered resourceful. But there is no such resource as oil. Perhaps, but because it is buried too deep, it cannot be mined with the current level of technology in Germany.

"Oh God! Are those Chinese illegitimate sons of God? Why did they have such good luck to discover another super oil field? "Frederick. Crown Prince William let out an unwilling roar at the Imperial Council. How nice it would be if Germany could have such a super oil field! However, no. It is foreseeable that this will undoubtedly become a constraint on Germany's development. Once again, the gap between Germany and the Chinese Empire was widened.

In fact, it is not that there is no oil in Germany's control area, and even Germany itself has several small oil fields. It's just that it's buried too deep and it's hard to mine it. With today's technology, it's almost unlikely. In addition, in the North Sea, there are also quite a few oil fields. But there was no technology to exploit subsea oil fields yet, so the Germans could only import oil from the Chinese Empire at this stage.

The news that the Chinese Empire had found a super oil field in the Persian Gulf undoubtedly hit the Germans the head and made them depressed for a long time. The value of a super oil field alone is enough to drive them crazy and make them very jealous of the good luck of the Chinese. (To be continued......)
