Chapter 1059: The Lackey (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Emir Dost of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Muhammad Khan's extremely firm statement made the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Afghanistan and the chiefs of the large tribes seem to believe that there is still hope for the Kingdom of Afghanistan and that British reinforcements are rushing to Afghanistan. When the time comes, they will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese* army. However, it is difficult to say whether this is what these people are doing, or whether they really believe it.
At least, Akbar is not convinced. At the same time, he was disappointed with his father's policies in the Kingdom of Afghanistan. If he had been in power in Afghanistan, he might not have been like this at all. After the fall of the Kingdom of Afghanistan to the Chinese Empire, it will undoubtedly gain a strong backing. Even in the direction of West Asia and India, it is possible to expand. It's just that the stubborn Dost. Muhammad Khan ruined everything. The end of the kingdom of Afghanistan is at hand. No, it should be said that the end of the Barakzai dynasty is at hand.
As for his younger brother, Scheer. Ali, that fellow, what else is he going to do besides pat his father's horses? He couldn't believe what would happen if the Afghan dynasty was in his hands. No, maybe after this war, there will be no kingdom of Afghanistan anymore.
After the meeting, Akbar returned to his mansion in disappointment, and as the prince of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, his mansion was naturally built in a magnificent manner. To know that in Dost. When Muhammad Khan was imprisoned by the British in India, he was the chief of the Barakzai tribe and led the Barakzai tribe to continue the fight against the British.
"No, we can't let them go on like this. The kingdom of Afghanistan, the Barakzai dynasty, could not just perish. Now the only one who can save the kingdom of Afghanistan is me! Only I became the emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Then sued for peace with the Chinese and submitted to the Chinese Empire. In this way, the kingdom of Afghanistan can continue to exist! On the way back, Akbar had already made up his mind.
Akbar called out a henchman. Whispered a few words in his ear. This henchman nodded with a stern face.
That night, a carriage drove into Prince Akbar's mansion, and the carriage looked so dilapidated that no one cared at all. However, after the carriage entered the palace, Akbel's henchman butler came to greet him personally. A young man with an oriental face got out of the carriage and, led by the butler, came to a secret room in the palace. Prince Akbel. I've been waiting here for a long time.
"Good evening, Your Royal Highness! I didn't expect you to take the initiative to contact me. It seems that you have already made your decision! The young man's face was full of smiles, as if he had expected that Prince Akbar would send someone to find him.
"Yes, General Niu. You guessed it right, I can't watch the kingdom of Afghanistan go to the end under their misguided leadership. The Barakzai tribe, who went through a lot of hardships to become the rulers of the kingdom of Afghanistan, cannot be destroyed like this! Prince Akbar said firmly.
This youth. It is none other than Niu Zhiyang of the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency, who is the youngest son of Niu Meng, the former chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Army, and is now a colonel officer of the Military Intelligence Agency. Although, the work of the military intelligence is very dangerous. But it is undoubtedly the easiest to make meritorious contributions. Now he is already a colonel officer, you know, his big brother who served in the navy. It's just a colonel. And the second brother, who served in the army, was just a lieutenant colonel. If this plan can be successful. Maybe he will be able to become a brigadier general in one fell swoop and become the second general of the Lao Niu family.
"Your Royal Highness. If you can figure it out, that's great. As you know, the northern part of Afghanistan is now under the control of the Imperial* Army. Those British people are simply unreliable, they only care about their own interests. Now you are the only one who can save the kingdom of Afghanistan. And there is only one way ahead of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. That's to take refuge in the Empire! Colonel Niu Zhiyang had a sincere smile on his face, as if he was the messenger of Allah who had come to help Prince Akbar.
Prince Akbar nodded, he was indeed very dissatisfied with the current situation in Afghanistan. In his opinion, Dost. Muhammad Khan is old, the eagle is old, and it is no longer able to soar in the sky. And also by Scheer. The hoodwinking of Ali has caused the entire Afghan kingdom to decline more and more.
"General Niu, if I defect to the Chinese Empire, then, what can I get?" Prince Akbar asked. He took refuge in the Chinese Empire, not only to save the Kingdom of Afghanistan, but also for himself. After all, as the former chief of the Barakzai tribe, he definitely didn't want his younger brother Sher . Ali snatched the throne from him.
"Your Royal Highness, the Chinese Empire is willing to support you in becoming the emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Moreover, please believe that the Chinese Empire will not have the slightest claim for the territory of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. In addition, the Chinese Empire wanted to have a strong ally in the Muslim world. And His Royal Highness the Prince is one of the candidates supported by the Empire. If His Royal Highness the Prince's table can satisfy us, then the Chinese Empire will support His Royal Highness's country and become a great power in the Muslim world! "Colonel Niu Zhiyang threw out the conditions of the Chinese Empire.
Emperor Long Yufei came from later generations and stayed away from the Muslim world. The people of this world are too extreme, and he doesn't want his empire to fall into a terrible crisis. Let the Muslims rule themselves, and the Chinese Empire only needs to prop up one agent. Of course, the premise is that the agent must be obedient. In addition, the Chinese Empire also has to be prepared, if the agent is disobedient, the empire can be eradicated as soon as possible.
"General Niu? What do you mean? Prince Akbar felt his breathing become a little short. Originally, he thought that the condition of the Chinese Empire was nothing more than support for him to become the emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. But now, it seems that the support of the Chinese Empire is far more than that!
"Your Royal Highness, to put it bluntly, the Chinese Empire needs to have a spokesperson in the Muslim world. The empire will not directly intervene in the domination of the Muslim world. However, the interests of the empire must be guaranteed! Colonel Niu Zhiyang said.
Prince Akbar nodded repeatedly, and of course he could understand this.
"For example, the Kingdom of Persia in western Afghanistan, the empire can support His Royal Highness the prince to conquer the Kingdom of Persia. Farther west, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, although it currently has good relations with the Empire, no one knows what the future holds. If relations between the Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire deteriorate in the future, then His Royal Highness the Prince, with the support of the Empire, can lead his army to continue the offensive westward and gain a wider territory. Even become a caliph in the Muslim world! Colonel Niu Zhiyang's face was full of smiles, and he said that there was a condition that made people excited.
Akbar's eyes were red, and he had never imagined that he would build a huge state, or even become a caliph in the Muslim world! Of course, with the support of the Chinese Empire, this would have been possible. The Chinese Empire is too powerful, and after this war is over, it will become the world hegemon. Then, with the support of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Afghanistan will definitely be able to develop even stronger.
Of course, Prince Akbar also knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The Chinese Empire can support him, or it can support others. If he wants to gain the support of the Chinese Empire, then he must work hard to show his worth. For example, protecting the interests of the Chinese empire in the Muslim world is the most important thing. Otherwise, the Chinese Empire would never have supported him.
"General Niu, is this what the Chinese Empire means? Can you make a guarantee on behalf of the Chinese Empire? Prince Akbar asked, his voice trembling with excitement. He was afraid that this qiē was all a dream, and once he woke up, he would find that it was all fake.
"Your Royal Highness, of course this is true. I can sign a memorandum with you in the name of an Empire* officer. Niu Zhiyang said with a smile. He knew that Prince Akbar would definitely not be able to stand these temptations. Of course, the Chinese Empire needed a spokesman in the Muslim world, and this is true. After all, although the Ottoman Empire was now ruled by a caliph, it also had a close relationship with the Chinese Empire. However, no one can guarantee that after the end of the war, the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire will maintain good relations in the division of world interests. This forced the empire to deploy more pawns. Prince Akbar, undoubtedly one of them.
If Prince Akbar is willing to act as a lackey of the Empire, then the Empire will not mind supporting his further expansion and becoming a powerful power in West Asia and the Muslim world.
Prince Akbar did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
"General Niu, I am willing to submit to the Chinese Empire, if I can become the ruler of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, the Kingdom of Afghanistan will be the most faithful servant of the Chinese Empire, and I and my descendants will do our best to ensure the interests of the Chinese Empire in West Asia!"
Under the temptation given by the Chinese Empire, Prince Akbar offered his loyalty to the Chinese Empire for the first time. If you can become a caliph, even if you act as a lackey of the Chinese Empire, what does it matter? Even if you can't become a caliph, even if you destroy the Persian kingdom, that's very good.
