The crushing defeat at the Battle of Diyarbakir had a great impact on the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The loss of 300,000 troops at one time made the Ottoman Turkish Empire's military strength stretched thin again. What's more, the Afghan army's constant offensive to the west has already threatened Suliman. The hundreds of thousands of Ottoman Imperial Turkish armies led by Pasha were in the rear. Once this army was wiped out again, the Ottoman Empire would be completely finished. It is indeed hard to believe that a world-class power has suffered such a fiasco in just a few months, and it has fallen to this step.

Don't say anything about anyone else, even the Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Mejid I and the high-ranking officials of the empire, one by one, were like frosted eggplants. Previously, they had become the victor of the world war, gaining access to the entire Ukrainian plain and the Balkans, which had brought the Ottoman Turks almost to their heyday, which made their self-confidence swell. It is the third largest country in the world after the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. But now, a couple of loud slaps woke them up. Rebellion within the empire, and the invasion of a small Afghan kingdom, brought the empire to the brink of collapse. How can such a country be the third largest country in the world?

However, as the rulers of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, all they had to do now was how to save the empire from its demise. Although this qiē seems to be very difficult, they have no other way but to face the difficulties head-on.

"Majesty, no matter what. Suliman. The Pasha's army could not be wiped out, otherwise. We won't have enough troops to defend Asia Minor! Ottoman. Nouri. The Pasha's defeat has already cost us a lot of our troops. Right now. Apart from the 300,000 troops deployed around Istanbul, we already have no rest of the troops to mobilize! "Ali. Pasha's face was stern. The current Ottoman Turkish Empire has reached the most critical moment. As Chief Pasha, he must ensure that the Empire survives this crisis.

"So what should we do? Do you continue to send reinforcements to Palestinian areas? But where do we have reinforcements? "Abdul. Mejid I asked. Even if we recruit troops now, it's too late. It is estimated that they have not yet waited for them to recruit a good army, Suliman. The Pasha's army had already been encircled and annihilated. And the Afghans have already occupied the entire peninsula of Asia Minor and marched on Istanbul.

"Your Majesty, ordered Suliman. Pasha withdraw! This is the only way to keep hundreds of thousands of troops. Suliman. After the retreat of the Pasha's army to the peninsula of Asia Minor. We also have enough troops to stand up to the Afghans and stop them from attacking further west! "Hussein. Pasha also built yì roads. It is clear that they also know about Suliman. Pasha's army became the last force of the Ottoman Empire.

"Retreat? Wouldn't that mean giving up the whole of Palestine and Syria? "Abdul. Mejid I said through gritted teeth. He was very unwilling to give up such a large territory. The strategic location was so important that the loss of these territories would cut off the Ottoman Turks' march into the Persian Gulf.

Abdul. Mejid I believed that this qiē was planned by the Chinese. The reason why the Chinese do it. It was aimed at the Ottoman Turkish Empire and wanted to recover the Persian Gulf and the surrounding area. A series of means were used to deal a heavy blow to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and at the same time, cut off the Ottoman Turkish Empire's march into the Persian Gulf. Ensuring the security of the Persian Gulf. Abdul. Not only could Mejid I not admire the Chinese, their strategy was so vicious that he solved the problem without having to do it himself. Paid a heavy price for the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"Your Majesty, give up these areas for the time being. to be able to keep the core area of the empire. The peninsula of Asia Minor is the core of our domination and cannot be occupied by the enemy. Besides. Even if Syria and Palestine were lost, it would not have much impact on the empire. We also have the Ukrainian plain and the Balkan Peninsula, and relying on the resources of these territories, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is still a powerful state. Next, we need to gather strength and wait for the time to fight back. From now on, it seems that the war between the Peace Alliance and the Holy Alliance will soon break out, and when the time comes, we will still have a chance to reclaim these territories. Moreover, although we have to give up these territories, we can negotiate as much as possible to preserve these interests! "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha also said.

"Negotiations? Will they negotiate with us? Now, they've got the upper hand! "Abdul. Mejid I was a little worried that the Chinese would take the opportunity to exterminate the Ottoman Turkish Empire. After all, after this war, it was already a sure thing that the Ottoman Turkish Empire would join the Holy Alliance. With the character and way of doing things of the Chinese, it is not impossible to directly destroy the Ottoman Turkish Empire and solve the problem once and for all. In this case, for the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it would mean the danger of national annihilation.

"Your Majesty, although the Chinese want to destroy us. However, now is not the best opportunity to start a world war. Therefore, the Chinese will refrain from it. Otherwise, they would not have just supported the Egyptians and the Kingdom of Afghanistan in attacking us, but would have sent their troops directly against us. Ask the Germans for help and ask them to mediate the war. Even if it is at a certain cost, it is necessary to end the war. And then with all your might, suppress the revolt of the Ukrainians and Slavs in the Ukrainian plain and the Balkans, digest both places. Further develop the army, increase national strength, and prepare for the next world war. With the help of the next world war, a shame before the end. If we can win, the Ottoman Empire will not only be able to regain all that it has lost now, but it will also be able to gain more, even the Persian Gulf. "Ali. Pasha said. The current situation was very unfavorable for the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and they could only admit defeat and put their hopes on the next war.

In addition, this war also woke them up to the fact that the Ottoman Empire could not afford to be complacent about its last victory. They are still a long way from being a true world power. The most important thing is to concentrate on developing one's own economy and military.

Abdul. Mejid I nodded, he knew, Ali. Pasha was right in his opinion. Although some could not accept the humiliation of this war. However, he also had no choice. If there were no negotiations, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would have lost much more.

"Well, contact the Germans and ask them to intercede! Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you will remember this fiasco, that you will remember this humiliation. In the near future, we must win and wash away this shame! "Abdul. Mejid I said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers all replied.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ottoman Empire urgently contacted the ambassador to Germany and asked for a meeting with German Foreign Minister Albrech. Feng. Count Ron, who made a request to him for Germany to mediate the war.

Albrech. Feng. Count Ron knew that Germany could not die without help. In this case, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would be completely finished. This is not good for Germany either. Germany wanted a powerful Ottoman Turkish Empire as an ally of Germany, not an Ottoman Turkish Empire that was on the verge of collapse.

"Your Majesty, the Ottoman Turkish Empire should not be able to hold on. The fiasco in the battle of Diyarbakir cost them dearly. If the fighting continues, it is very likely that the hundreds of thousands of troops they have deployed in northern Palestine will also be completely annihilated. In this case, it is very likely that there will be extremely strict consequences, and even lead to the collapse of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Count Moltke, Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, analyzed.

"Has the situation come to this point?" William I frowned. The Ottoman Turkish Empire seemed too weak, which was already beyond his expectations.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The situation is already very critical. Otherwise, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would not have taken the initiative to bow to those rebels! "Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron said.

"Humph! It seems that the Ottoman Turkish Empire is simply a foreign power! It is also known as the third power in the world, which is simply embarrassing! "Frederick. Crown Prince William said disdainfully.

"Prime Minister, what is your point of view?" Wilhelm I ignored Frederick. Crown Prince William's complaints.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire is indeed a little weaker than we imagined. However, Germany should indeed help the Ottoman Empire through the difficulties. In any case, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was a relatively powerful force. When they join the Holy Alliance, they can provide the strength of the Alliance. What's more, the oil of Ploiesti is important for the Empire, and we can also use the territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to march into the Middle East and threaten the Persian Gulf! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

William I nodded, and then said, "Count Ron, send a note!" The German Reich was willing to mediate in this war! (To be continued......)
