On the morning of March 28, 1857, the Ottoman Turkish ambassador to China, Hassan, left the embassy in his car and headed for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire. Sitting in the back seat of the car, Ambassador Hassan had a very solemn expression on his face. He knew that going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire this time would meet a challenge. He was not sure whether the Chinese Empire would agree to the demands of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. After all, from a de jure point of view, the Ottoman Turkish Empire did not make any sense. Who told them to agree to the transfer of the Persian Gulf coast and Iraq to the Chinese Empire?

At that time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire sold it for a high price, thinking that it was taking advantage. However, now the Chinese Empire has discovered super oil fields in the Persian Gulf. They immediately realized that they had sold at a loss, so now they want to regret it. Where in the world is there such a cheap thing! What's more, they are still facing the world hegemon, and if the Chinese Empire refuses, the Ottoman Turkish Empire has no choice.

Unless, the Ottoman Turkish Empire dared to use force to retake the Persian Gulf and Iraq. And what consequences will that lead to? I am afraid that they will be immediately counterattacked by the Chinese Empire like a storm! When the time comes, the entire Ottoman Turkish Empire will face a catastrophe.

"Those damn bureaucrats, how could they come up with such a stupid trick? This is simply infuriating the Chinese Empire! Ambassador Hassan cursed in his heart. If he could, he would never want to participate in such negotiations, which would be tantamount to bringing humiliation upon himself. However, due to the strict orders at home, he had no choice, and as a diplomat of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, his duty was to work for the interests of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Although, this time they will be helped by the German Reich. However, Hassan still has no confidence in this. After all. Hassan had been in the Chinese Empire for too long, and knew far more about the Chinese Empire than anyone at home. He is well aware of the strength of this country. Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire claims to be the third most powerful country in the world. But compared with the Chinese Empire, the gap is not half a star. If the Chinese Empire wants to. It is estimated that you will be able to level the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

Among other things, the population of the Chinese Empire is now nearly 600 million. If there is a maximum mobilization, 50 million troops can be mobilized. And the powerful industry of the Chinese Empire was able to ensure that these 50 million troops were armed. Even if heavy weapons are lacking, a rifle per person can do it. This number is already more than the population of the Ottoman Empire. The provocation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire against the Chinese Empire was simply looking for death. Therefore, Hassan is very pessimistic about this meeting. He believes. The Chinese Empire would never accept the terms of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted to share the oil resources of the Persian Gulf, which was simply delusional.

"Didi!" There was the sound of a car honking in front of me, and I saw a car flying the German flag approaching. After the windows were rolled down, the smiling face of Klaus, the German ambassador to China, appeared in the back seat of the car.

Hassan waved to Klaus, who responded. Next, Klaus's car followed Hassan's, and the two cars drove together towards the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in the Chinese Empire.

"Damn the Germans, there must be their impetus behind this incident. Otherwise. There would never be a dare to make such an impudent request to the Chinese Empire at home! Hassan said secretly. He also knew that Germany was short of oil. Now, oil has been discovered in the Persian Gulf. The Germans couldn't wait to jump out. But the hateful thing is that these Germans actually bewitched the Ottoman Turkish Empire to come out, which is simply too despicable and shameless. You know, the Chinese Empire will not do anything to Germany, but it is very likely to do it to the Ottoman Turkish Empire. After all, the German Empire was much larger than the Ottoman Empire, with a population of 120 million and twice the size of the Ottoman Empire. The industry of the German Empire was second only to that of the Chinese Empire, while the industry of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was not even a fraction of that of Germany. Therefore. In comparison, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was a soft persimmon.

Eight fifty a.m. The cars of Ambassador Hassan and Ambassador Klaus arrived at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The two got out of the car one after the other, even though Hassan didn't have any affection for the Germans. But at the moment, he had a smile on his face. After all, this time he needed the help of the Germans.

"Your Excellency Klaus, this time with the help of Germany. I hope we can work together to get the most out of it! Ambassador Hassan had a sincere smile on his face, as if his previous complaint had not existed at all.

"Your Excellency Hassan, the interests of our two countries are aligned. On the issue of the Persian Gulf, the German Empire fully supported the Ottoman Turkish Empire! Ambassador Klaus also said with a smile. Although he had received orders from home to sell the Ottoman Empire if necessary, he showed that he was really the most sincere friend of the Ottoman Empire.

I have to admit that diplomats are all actors, and they are all actors.

Hassan and Klaus entered the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together. Because it was made an appointment with Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan before. So, when I entered the lobby of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, there were staff members waiting there.

Guided by the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Hassan and Ambassador Klaus took the elevator to the office of Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan. There, they will meet with Wei Yuan. The content of the meeting was the oil issue in the Persian Gulf.

"Your Excellency, good morning, please be seated, two ambassadors!" Although Wei Yuan had expected that Ambassador Hashang and Ambassador Klaus would not be good, he showed that Shang was still very calm. As the foreign minister of the world's largest power, his waist is undoubtedly very hard, and it is almost impossible for other countries to bend his waist.

The secretary had already delivered the tea, and the translators were already in place. After a brief pleasantries, the talks got to the point.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, congratulations on the discovery of a super-oil field in the Persian Gulf. However, this was not a good thing for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. I have to admit that this time we had a bad vision. Ambassador Hassan hesitated, but his duties meant that he had to bite the bullet and turn the conversation to the oil in the Persian Gulf.

"Your Excellency, our luck is indeed too good. Nor did we expect the discovery of oil in the Persian Gulf. However, this is indeed a good thing for the Empire! Wei Yuan said with a smile.

Hassan saw the smile on Wei Yuan's face and wanted to spit on his face. Is this still called unexpected? If it had not known in advance that there was oil in the Persian Gulf, would the Chinese Empire have sent so many geologists and oil exploration workers to the Persian Gulf? There is only one explanation for this, and that is that the Chinese Empire has long known that there is oil there, so it will get that barren land full of yellow sand from the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"Your Excellency, the discovery of oil in the Persian Gulf is a good thing for the whole world, which will improve the international energy shortage. However, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was greatly affected by this. Now, quite a few nobles and people have accused the empire of transferring the Persian Gulf and Iraq to the Chinese empire as a huge mistake. There were also growing opponents of the government and His Majesty the Sultan, which had already affected the social stability of the Ottoman Turkish Empire! Hassan continued.

"Your Excellency, why hasn't your country's army suppressed it? You know, your country's military strength can also be ranked in the forefront of the world, so that even those mobs can't be suppressed, right? Wei Yuan's face was filled with righteous indignation.

"Uh......!" Ambassador Hassan was speechless. He didn't believe that Wei Yuan didn't know what he meant, but Wei Yuan deliberately pretended to be stupid, but he couldn't help it.

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, the Ottoman Turkish Empire hopes to receive help from the Chinese Empire!" Ambassador Hassan said directly.

"Did the Ottoman Empire want to use the power of the empire to suppress the riots? That's no problem at all. The Empire's army and navy stationed in the Middle East and the Mediterranean were on standby to go to war whenever the Ottoman Empire needed it! Wei Yuan said immediately.

Ambassador Hassan was very depressed, and Wei Yuan was simply pulling around. And, in his words, there is no small threat. That is, the Chinese Empire's troops deployed in the Middle East and the Mediterranean region have reached the highest state of combat readiness, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire had better not act rashly. Otherwise, the armies of the Chinese Empire could go to war at once.

"No, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. The situation at home, the Ottoman Turkish Empire itself was able to cope with. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was hoping that the Chinese Empire would return the Persian Gulf and Iraq to us. In this way, we will be able to dispel the anger in the hearts of the people. Ambassador Hassan said with a shy face.

"What?" Wei Yuan's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what Ambassador Hassan would be in.

"Your Excellency, are you sure you're not joking? The Persian Gulf was the dowry of two princesses of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, while Iraq was bought by the empire at its expense. This was not snatched from the Ottoman Turkish Empire by the Empire, but a voluntary cooperation between the two sides. It has been written very clearly in black and white, should your country want to regret it? ”

Even though he had learned that the Ottoman Turks would have ideas about the oil resources of the Persian Gulf, Wei Yuan was still angry that the Ottoman Turks could say such shameless words. (To be continued)
