"His Majesty, King Wilhelm I of the Kingdom of Prussia and Prime Minister of the Government of Otto. Feng. Bismarck expressed concern about the current situation. They believed that once Austria-Hungary joined the North Atlantic Military Alliance, the Alliance's strength in Europe would be at an absolute disadvantage. In addition, Queen Isabella II of Spain and King Leopold I of Belgium also mean much the same thing. King of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Vittorio. Emmanuele II was even more worried. It can be said that several allies of the empire in Europe are now pessimistic about the future situation! After Wei Yuan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, returned to China, he reported to the Emperor Long Yufei.

Long Yufei nodded, his face a little ugly. He did not seem to have imagined that an Austro-Hungarian military alliance would cause such a shock to the allies of the Empire.

"Your Majesty, I think we should speed up our efforts to win over the Ottoman Empire. Now, the North Atlantic military alliance is certainly also pulling them in. If the Ottoman Turkish Empire joined the North Atlantic Military Alliance, it would be even more disadvantageous for the Empire. The empire's painstaking layout in Europe may even collapse because of it! Prime Minister Lin Zihao said.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs hastened its contacts with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. If they joined the Osian-European military alliance, once the enemy was defeated, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would gain the entire Balkan Peninsula and the Black Sea coast. Long Yufei said. These were all dreamed of by the Ottoman Turkish Empire. At the height of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, these were the spheres of their rule. The mighty Ottoman Turkish Empire was terrified of the European nations on its own. Recreate the supreme glory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. It was the dream of every Ottoman Turkish sultan. Now, this opportunity is undoubtedly in front of them. Long Yufei believed that the Ottoman Turkish Empire would make the right choice. If there is an accession of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Then, the European allies of the empire should be able to rest assured.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Yuan nodded. Although, this would have swelled the power of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Influence on future imperial interests in the Middle and Near East. However, it is important to ensure that the Empire wins future wars. The rest of the questions. You can put it aside. The North Atlantic Military Alliance is the Empire's greatest enemy at the moment! If you lose in the war, it's all empty talk!

"Also. The empire needs to strengthen its armaments, all for the sake of future wars. Make sure that the Empire has a quick advantage in future wars! Long Yufei said. In this way, it would give the allies of the empire's Europe a reassurance that they would be determined to carry the war on.

"Yes. 陛xià! General Sun Hao, Chief of the General Staff, nodded. After years of development. The empire is now getting stronger and stronger. Previously, all the energy was focused on the domestic economy and industrial construction. It is time for a gradual tilt towards armaments. The empire has the largest population in the world, and its industrial power is among the highest in the world. As long as the empire is free to arm its army, it will not be so easy for any country to defeat the empire.

"Our war against Russia will be a vital one. In addition to the army, the construction of railways and roads from the empire to Central Asia. It is especially important. At this point, the cabinet must speed up the progress! Long Yufei specially advised. After all. For the empire to attack Russia, it would have to cross almost half of the Eurasian continent. The supply of front-line armies will be an important factor in limiting the power of the Empire*.

"Your Majesty, at present, the Empire's railway to Central Asia has been built to Ili and is being extended further to the west. In addition, the Ministry of Communications proposed to build a double line, which would more than double the capacity of the railway, which would effectively ensure the supply of the empire to the front line in the event of war. In addition, the Siberian railway, which has also been built to Novosibirsk, is extending westward, and it is expected to be repaired to Omsk in a year! Prime Minister Lin Zihao said. These two railways, due to the very harsh geographical environment along the way, make the cost of the railway extremely amazing. However, in order to ensure that the Empire's * army will not be stuck by supplies in the future, the Empire has been gritting its teeth to build these two railways. In addition to some of the money needed from the government, some of it comes from the military's secret funding. Most of the rest is the personal pocket of Emperor Long Yufei.

"Yes, do your best to increase the capacity of these railways! In addition, the workers who built the railroad should still capture slaves from the South Seas! Long Yufei said.

More than 95 percent of those who worked in the infrastructure and mines of the empire were indigenous slaves captured from the South Seas. The common people of the empire were engaged in relatively easy and safer work. Each year, the total number of indigenous slaves who died in the mines and on the various sites of the Empire, whether from exhaustion or accident, was more than 200,000. It can be said that under every meter of road or railway in the empire, the corpse of an indigenous slave is buried!

"Yes, Your Majesty! The military will fully cooperate in this regard! Admiral Sun Hao said. Under the influence of Emperor Long Yufei, these military generals did not regard the natives of Nanyang as human beings at all, but only regarded them as slaves who could be oppressed arbitrarily.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, every work of the empire will be for the sake of war! The empire has risen to the present and has never been defeated! I hope that in this great war in the future, the Empire will also win! Long Yufei said.

"The Empire will win!" The ministers shouted one after another, they had unwavering confidence in the future victory of the Empire!

Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, was originally the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. However, after the Ottomans conquered it and destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire, it became the empire of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The former Ottoman Turkish Empire was a powerful empire spanning Asia, Europe and Africa. The European countries, which were fighting on their own, suffered unspeakably. But now, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is still an empire spanning Asia, Europe and Africa, but it has nothing to do with power!

The current Ottoman Turkish Empire can be described as internal and external troubles. Internally, the Pasha in various parts of the Ottoman Turkish Empire began to confront the central government. The most prominent of the table is undoubtedly Egypt, in Muhammad. Egypt under the descendants of Ali Pasha, although still nominally part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, was in fact no different from independence. In the Balkans under the rule of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, various ethnic groups also rebelled against the rule of the Ottoman Turkish Empire with the support of Western countries. For example, the Kingdom of Greece gained the support of Western countries during the eight-year war for independence, and finally the Ottoman Turkish Empire had to recognize the independence of Greece, which can be seen throughout the Balkans. The rule of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the Balkans was already in jeopardy.

The external environment of the Ottoman Empire was also very bad, because of the religious opposition with the Western world, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Western powers were almost incompatible. Russia, the mortal enemy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, has continuously weakened the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire through repeated Russo-Turkish wars, which has gradually fallen into the current predicament. The Ottoman Turkish Empire is no longer a world power, but is called the sick man of West Asia!

However, as the world situation became more and more tense, the Ottoman Turkish Empire finally ushered in a turning point. Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire has declined, its military strength is still relatively strong in the world, which makes the Ottoman Turkish Empire the object of competition between the North Atlantic Military Alliance and the Eurasian Military Alliance. For the North Atlantic military alliance, if they can draw the Ottoman Turkish Empire into the alliance, they will be able to reverse the situation and gain an advantage. It will even directly cause the European countries of the TAsia-Europe military alliance to fall directly to the North Atlantic military alliance, thus isolating the Chinese empire. At that time, this will be the confrontation between the entire Western world and the Chinese Empire. That's what the British want to see.

Similarly, for the Ottoman Turkish military alliance, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's statement became particularly important when Austria-Hungary had already revealed a reversal towards the North Atlantic military alliance. If the Ottoman Turkish Empire falls to the North Atlantic military alliance, then the life of the Eurasian military alliance will be even more difficult, and even the alliance may fall apart. However, if the Ottoman Turkish Empire can be drawn into the alliance, then the Asian-European military alliance can once again gain the upper hand. Geographically, if the Ottoman Turks joined the Ottoman military alliance with Europe, their armies would be able to attack both Russia and Austria-Hungary. The armies of the Chinese Empire could even land directly in the Ottoman Turkish Empire and join the European theater. In this case, the possibility of the Asia-Europe military alliance winning future wars will increase considerably.

After the Vienna Peace Conference, diplomats from the countries of the North Atlantic Military Alliance and diplomats from the countries of the Eurasian Military Alliance gathered in Constantinople, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire became a sweet spot! (To be continued......)
