Chapter 934: Joining the Alliance

For the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the conditions proposed by the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia were already very attractive to them. {3. Weapons and equipment are available, and loans are available. If war broke out, the Ottoman Empire would only have to contribute. After the end of the war, the entire Balkan Peninsula and the Black Sea coast would become the territory of the Ottoman Empire, which would restore the Ottoman Empire to its heyday. Such conditions are already very generous.

Compared with the empty promises issued by Britain and France, the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia undoubtedly showed more sincerity.

"Your Excellency Wei Yuan, Your Excellency Ron. Thanks to the support of the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, I am personally inclined to join the Asia-Europe Military Alliance. However, such a big event requires the nod of His Majesty the Sultan! "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha suppressed the excitement in his heart and expressed his gratitude to Wei Yuan and Albrech. Feng. Ron said.

Wei Yuan and Albrecht. Feng. Ron nodded, they could understand it.

"Your Excellency Pasha, we can understand. I am sure that His Majesty the Sultan will make a wise choice! Wei Yuan said with great certainty. As long as the Ottoman Turkish Empire was abdul. Mejid I was not caught in the door, but knew how to choose in the face of the conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Your Excellency Wei Yuan, we will do our best to give you an answer!" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said.

Subsequently, Wei Yuan and Albrech. Feng. Ron left the manor in a carriage and returned to the city of Constantinople. On the way. Albrech. Feng. Ron looked excited.

"Your Excellency Wei Yuan, it now seems that the Ottoman Turkish Empire has joined our alliance. This is already a matter of ironclad. With the accession of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, we will be able to hold out in Europe, if not a match for the North Atlantic Military Alliance. When the reinforcements from the Chinese Empire arrive, it will be our turn to carry out a large-scale counterattack! "Albrech. Feng. Ron said. The Chinese Empire was too far away from Europe, and at the same time there were many enemies to deal with, and the European allies needed to hold out until the Chinese Empire's reinforcements arrived.

Wei Yuan nodded: "Yes." I think that the North Atlantic Military Alliance will definitely not offer us such conditions! ”

After all, Russia within the North Atlantic Military Alliance. And the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was about to join the North Atlantic Military Alliance, did not have good relations with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Russia, in particular, was the mortal enemy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. How could the Ottoman Empire enter the same camp as Russia? All these decided that the Ottoman Turkish Empire could only join the Eurasian military alliance!

Wei Yuan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, and Albrech, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Prussia. Feng. The news of Ron's meeting with the high-ranking officials of the Ottoman Empire was not able to hide from the British Foreign Secretary, the Earl of Granville, and the French Foreign Secretary, the Count of Valewski. The two had been in Constantinople for almost a month. But. However, the Ottoman Turkish Empire has been perfunctory to them, which makes the two very dissatisfied.

"The Chinese and Prussians came, and the attitude of the Ottoman Turkish Empire will soon become clear. But, I'm afraid, it's very bad for us! The Earl of Granville's face was gloomy. Compared with the Asia-Europe military alliance, the North Atlantic military alliance has given too few conditions and commitments. This made the Earl of Granville a little aggrieved. If the Ottoman Turkish Empire joins the Asia-Europe military alliance, it will be very unfavorable to the North Atlantic military alliance!

"Otherwise. We're working hard to see if there's a chance of recovery! Said Count Valewski.

The Earl of Granville nodded. The two then took a horse-drawn carriage to Mustafa. Lester. Pasha's mansion wants to persuade the Ottoman Turkish Empire again, even if the Ottoman Turkish Empire is unwilling to join the North Atlantic Military Alliance, it cannot join the Asia-Europe Military Alliance! Even if you are neutral, that's the best option!

It's just that the Earl of Granville and the Count of Walewski pounced. Lester. Pasha is not in the palace at the moment, but with Fuad. Pasha and Hussein. Together with the Pasha, they went to the Sultan's palace and paid a message to Sultan Abdul. Mejid I reported the results of today's negotiations with the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia have proposed that if we join the TAsia-Europe Military Alliance, after defeating the North Atlantic Military Alliance, the entire Balkan Peninsula and the Black Sea coast will become our territory!" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said.

"What? Do they really say that? "Abdul. Mejid I was somewhat surprised. These territories are all territories that the Ottoman Turkish Empire lost in previous wars because of its losses! If it can be recovered, it will be very good.

"Yes, Your Majesty! This is the promise given to us by the Asia-Europe Military Alliance! "Fouad. Pasha also said.

Abdul. Mejid I nodded, and the conditions proposed by the Eurasian military alliance made him very satisfied.

"What about the other conditions?" Abdul. Mejid I asked.

"His Majesty, the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, is willing to provide us with a set of technologies and machines for the production of light weapons and ammunition. In addition, a batch of heavy weapons was sold to us at the lowest price. "Hussein. Pasha said.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire did not have a good military industry, and many of the weapons used came from Europe, and even rifles could not be produced on their own. If the technology in this area could be obtained with the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, it would undoubtedly increase the military strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"In addition, the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia will also provide us with a low-interest loan for us to use to expand our economy and expand our armaments!" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha continued.

Abdul. Mejid I was very pleased with these conditions, and after thinking for a few minutes, he said: "Let the foreign ministers of the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia come to me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said. He knew that His Majesty the Sultan had already decided to join the Eurasian military alliance. Otherwise, there would have been no offer to receive the Foreign Ministers of the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia. You must know that the foreign ministers of Britain and France were also in Constantinople at this time, and they also repeatedly proposed to meet His Majesty the Sultan, but they were not allowed.

That evening, Wei Yuan and Albrech. Feng. Ron arrived at the Sultan's Palace, where he met with Abdul. Mejid I.

In order to entertain the guests, His Majesty the Sultan specially asked people to prepare halal-style food, and several ministers expressed their very enthusiasm.

After a short dinner, the two sides got to the point.

"Your Excellency Wei Yuan, Your Excellency Ron, if the Ottoman Turkish Empire joins the Asia-Europe military alliance, after the war is over, can we really obtain the entire Balkan Peninsula and the land along the Black Sea coast?" Abdul. Mejid I was somewhat uncertain.

"Of course, Your Majesty the Sultan, this is our promise to the Ottoman Turkish Empire! This article can be written directly into the covenant! Wei Yuan said. After all, the geographical location of the Balkan Peninsula is too important, it has always been a powder keg, and countless powerful countries want to control it, which has led to countless wars. If the Ottoman Empire can regain control of the Balkans, then the Ottoman Empire will once again increase its national power.

"Two, the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire is poorly equipped with weapons, although the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia are willing to provide us with production technology and equipment, but they will certainly not be needed in a short time. It would be best if the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia could provide us with a batch of weapons and equipment. Of course, the current Ottoman Empire was poor and did not have the funds to pay for it! "Abdul. Said Mejid I.

Wei Yuan and Albrecht. Feng. Ron nodded, and after a few whispered conversations, the two agreed to provide a batch of weapons and equipment to the Ottoman Turkish Empire for free.

The Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire each provided the Ottoman Empire with the equipment of ten infantry divisions. Everything from rifles to artillery. Of course, some critical equipment, the Chinese Empire will not provide. Heavy machine guns and mortars have become a major commodity, and the armies of all the great powers have been equipped, but some countries have more equipment and some countries have less equipment. The standard weapons given to each infantry division of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, naturally, will not be equipped too much. In addition, weapons such as light machine guns, which the Imperial 6th Army has just begun to equip, will obviously not be provided to the public.

Next, there's the matter of low-interest loans. Abdul of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Mejid I was apparently a bit greedy, or perhaps they considered the Ottoman Empire to be indispensable. On the loan, Abdul. Mejid I offered the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia a loan of 200 million Chinese dollars to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and it was an interest-free loan.

However, the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia were only willing to provide an interest-free loan of 100 million Chinese dollars. After all, war was coming, and the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, as the two main powers within the alliance, also needed a lot of money to prepare for the war.

Despite the Ottoman Turkish Empire's Sultan Abdul. Mejid I was a little dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to give up. After all, if the talks fall apart, it will be even more detrimental to them. (To be continued!)
