"Allah, that abominable fellow of Nicholas I is finally dead!" Inside the Sultan's Palace in Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire Speed Abdul. Majid I prayed to God devoutly. The Russian Empire was undoubtedly the worst enemy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. At the age of 24, Mejid I had just experienced the Eighth Russo-Turkish War.

During the Eighth Russo-Turkish War, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was ravaged by Russia, Britain, and France, and suffered heavy losses. In that war, the Ottoman Turkish Empire not only lost more than 100,000 men, but also lost the control of the principalities along the Danube, and more importantly, Greece also gained autonomy with the support of Russia, Britain, and France.

In addition, Russia retained parts of South Ukraine, the Crimea, Bessarabia, and the Caucasus, and firmly established itself on the Black Sea coast. Russia took advantage of the Greek War of Independence to move further south, ravaging Moldova and Wallachia again, and then approaching Constantinople through Bulgaria. Under the Russo-Turkish Treaty of Adriatic in September 1829, Russia acquired the mouth of the Danube and its nearby islands and the eastern shore of the Black Sea, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire recognized Georgia, Imeretia, and Mingrelia as annexed to Russia.

Now, Tsar Nicholas I committed suicide, which was undoubtedly a great thing for the Ottoman Empire.

"Your Majesty, now is the time. For the Ottoman Empire, it was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to make a comeback. The Russians lost more than 800,000 troops in the war with the Chinese. These are the elite of the Russian army. Moreover. The war between Russia and the Chinese Empire is not over, and if their war continues, we can join in and reclaim the territories occupied by the Russians in one fell swoop. "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha built yì road. The Ottoman Empire had repeatedly lost wars, and now it was undoubtedly an opportunity for the Ottoman Empire to defeat Russia.

"Are we going to war with the Russians? Although the Russians lost 800,000 troops, but. They also have a standing army of 600,000. In addition, a million new troops have been recruited, and the total number of troops has increased instead of decreasing! "Ottoman Sultan Abdul. Mejid I said with some concern. The current Ottoman Turkish Empire is no longer the powerful empire that the European countries fought and subservient. Political decay, coupled with industrial and economic decline, and constant military defeats. As a result, the Ottoman Turkish Empire has become the sick man of West Asia.

"Your Majesty, although the Russian army still has a standing army of 600,000. There are already millions of new troops. But. There are so many places for the Russians to defend. Their forces in the Balkans and Transcaucasia have declined further. Among them, the garrison in the Balkans was only 150,000, and the number of troops in Transcaucasia dropped to 100,000. Although Russia has a million new troops, their main enemies are still the Chinese who are constantly advancing westward. If we can unite with the Chinese and fight against Russia, we have a good chance of success. "The main head of the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Fouad . Pasha also said.

"This ......" Abdul. Mejid I was still a little hesitant. Though. He hated the Russian Empire very much, but. In his eyes, the Russian Empire was also a powerful state. Despite repeated weakenings, the Russian Empire remained strong. He feared that if he went to war against the Russian Empire, he would not only fail to win, but would suffer defeat. In that case, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would have been miserable.

"Your Majesty, we can mobilize more than half a million troops or more for this war. If China is willing to cooperate with us, we will defeat Russia easily. "Another army chief, Hussein. Pasha also said. Today, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, with a population of more than 30 million people, is still considered a powerful empire.

"Your Majesty, we have to hurry. In case the Russians and the Chinese come to a contract, then everything will be over! "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said anxiously. Now is undoubtedly a good opportunity, and if you miss it, I am afraid it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again.

"Well, contact the Imperial Minister in the Chinese Empire and get in touch with the Chinese. If they were willing to continue the war, the Ottoman Turks were willing to join the war and destroy the Russians together! "Abdul. Said Mejid I.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said. There is no doubt that the Ottoman Turkish Empire did not have the strength to wage war against the Russian Empire alone, and could only try to take advantage of the Chinese Empire. While the Chinese Empire was holding back the main forces of the Russians, defeat the Russian garrisons on the border in one fell swoop, and then recapture the lost territories.

The Chinese Empire, Guangzhou, at this time, the emperor Long Yufei's attention has been placed on the Americans on the other side of the ocean. With the annihilation of the Russian Expeditionary Force in Eastern Siberia, Russia posed a much smaller threat to the Chinese Empire. Next, cross the ocean to attack the United States and protect the interests of the empire, which is the most important thing.

Three infantry corps and three marine brigades of the Imperial Army, escorted by the Imperial Navy's 1st Fleet, have begun to be transported to the Hawaiian Islands in batches. At the same time, there are also large quantities of war materiel that will be delivered to the Hawaiian Islands. The Chinese Empire is making final preparations for war against the United States.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Prussia and Italy united to wage war against the Austrian Empire, which turned all of Central Europe into a pot of porridge. The kingdom of Italy, like Germany, is divided. However, the Austrian Empire occupied Rome, which divided the Kingdom of Italy into various kingdoms, and the Austrian Empire was very unhappy. Now that the Kingdom of Prussia is attacking the Kingdom of Austria, they will of course take the opportunity to fall into the ground.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Prussia has invested a total of 500,000 troops in this war. The Italians also threw in 300,000 people. Although the Austrian Empire and their allies had invested a full 600,000 troops, the Austrians would probably lose the war! General Niu Meng, Chief of the General Staff, said to Emperor Long Yufei.

"Hmmm! The Austrian Empire was no match for the Kingdom of Prussia at all. Although they have a larger population and a larger army. However, their command system was outdated, and the armament and training of the army were simply not comparable to those of the Kingdom of Prussia. The army of the Kingdom of Prussia had already been mobilized and the railway system in Guò had been transported to the war zone, while the Austrian Empire had not yet completed the mobilization. They have lost this war! Long Yufei said that he had great confidence in the victory of the Kingdom of Prussia in this war. Although, it is now a full 14 years earlier than the historical Austro-Prussian War. However, the balance of power between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire did not change much.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Without the support of the Russians, the Austrian Empire would not have been able to secure the top position among the many German states. Now, Russia has been defeated by us, the main force of the Russian army has been wiped out by us, and the remaining army has also been pinned down by us in large numbers. The Russians simply did not have the spare forces to support the Austrian Empire. The Austrian Empire lost the war, and it was just around the corner. Foreign Minister Lin Zihao also said.

"Hmmm! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should strengthen its ties with the Kingdom of Prussia. By the time this war was over, the Kingdom of Prussia would soar into the sky and become an important state in Europe. And we, too, need this powerful ally. Long Yufei said. A strong Germany, for the Reich, was very important. The situation in Europe as a whole will be even more chaotic. The nascent German Empire will also face the squeeze of many European powers, and at this moment, the Chinese Empire will undoubtedly become an important support for Germany. This would bring the alliance between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire even closer.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Zihao nodded, he knew that the status of the Kingdom of Prussia in the heart of Emperor Long Yufei was more important than France, a traditional ally. Of course, he also recognized the potential of the Kingdom of Prussia, or the unified German Empire.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to China has come to see me this morning. The Ottoman Turkish Empire proposed to cooperate with the empire to flank Russia and eliminate Russia in one fell swoop. Lin Zihao continued.

"Haha! Ottoman Turkish Empire? What did they do earlier? I remember that before the outbreak of our war with the Russians, we offered to unite with them against the Russians. It's just that they refused. Now, they want to join the war and get a share of the benefits, which is impossible! Long Yufei said with a laugh. The Ottoman Turks are only now trying to pick up the bargain, and it's too late.

"Your Majesty, then how are we going to restore the Ottoman Turkish Empire?" Lin Zihao asked.

"Tell them that the Empire is no longer able to continue the war. If they want to do something against Russia, they can do it themselves, we will not be involved. Of course, don't make the relationship too bad, there will inevitably be a war between us and Russia in the future, and if the Ottoman Turkish Empire wants to join the war, it can do so! Long Yufei said. The ultimate goal of the Chinese Empire was to destroy Russia, and now, it was only a temporary truce and recuperation. It won't be long before war breaks out between the two sides. (To be continued......)
