Chapter 1397: Shame

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Dada! Dada! "On the banks of the Assi River, the sound of guns and cannons resounded throughout the riverbank, and the Ottoman Turkish army was constantly attacking the other side of the river. However, the Asi River has become a moat that stops them, and even though their blood has dyed the river red, it still cannot lead to the Guò Assi River. The corpses of the soldiers were piled up in the river, almost blocking the river.

Suliman. The main army of the Ottoman Empire, led by the Pasha, had reached the banks of the Assi River. However, they are also powerless to change the current situation. The army of the Kingdom of Afghanistan was the first to reach the Assi River and built strong fortifications on the other side of the river. The Ottoman Turkish army's vain attempt to cross the Assi River and withdraw to the peninsula of Asia Minor had become delusional.

"Bastard, how can this be? Has Allah forsaken us? "Suliman. Pasha's eyes were red, and he seemed to be a little unable to accept this qiē. It was not easy to reach the Assi River, but the way back was still blocked. There were interceptions in front and pursuers in the back, and they were undoubtedly in a desperate situation. This also led directly to the fact that the situation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire had become very bad.

On the sea, a few tens of kilometers from the battle between the two sides, the navy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was hovering over the sea. According to the order, they were to rush to the coast to reinforce Suliman. The army led by the Pasha provided them with artillery support. But now, they can't get by. Dozens of capital ships of the Chinese Navy and the Spanish Navy conducted live-fire exercises in the waters in front of them, blocking this sea area.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The rumbling sound of cannon rang out on the sea, and columns of water rose into the sky. It's like it's raining. The navy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was only a few dozen kilometers from the coast. But now, they're stuck here. One step and unable to get in.

On board the battleship 'Sultan Xià', the flagship of the Ottoman Turkish Navy, the commander of the Ottoman Turkish Navy, Mehmet . Kebal. Pasha gritted his teeth and looked at the warships of the Chinese Navy and the Spanish Navy in the distance.

"These damn Chinese. They were determined to deal with the Ottoman Empire. This was true at the mouth of the Nile, and it is like this now! "Muhammad. Kebal. Pasha roared angrily. If Egypt had attacked the Nile Delta when it had just rebelled, perhaps the situation would have changed a long time ago. The Ottoman Turks would not have lost so many troops. However, because of the intervention of the Chinese Empire, everything has changed now. The situation was moving in an extremely unfavorable direction for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. If Suliman. Once the hundreds of thousands of troops led by the Pasha were annihilated, the consequences would be unimaginable. The order of the Navy is to help Suliman. The Pasha's army safely withdrew to the peninsula of Asia Minor. But now it seems that this is no longer possible.

If you can, Muhammad. Kebal. Pasha was eager to order the fleet to attack the Chinese navy at once. Even if they were all killed in battle, they would not be living as hard as they are now. But he could not do so without the Sultan's orders. After all, he led the essence of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's navy, and it was the fleet that the Ottoman Turkish Empire spent a lot of money, a lot of manpower and material resources piled up. If it was lost, the naval dream of the Ottoman Empire would be cut off.

On October 21, 1861, the armies of Egypt and the Kingdom of Najd pursued Suliman. The army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire led by the Pasha. After several days of fierce fighting, they still could not break through the interception of the Afghan army. On the contrary, they lost a lot of troops, which made the morale of the troops continue to decline. If it weren't for the threat of death, maybe those soldiers would have collapsed directly. Even so, their demise. It seems that it is not far off. After being surrounded by the enemy, all supplies will be cut off, how long will they be able to hold out?

The capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Inside the royal palace in Istanbul. Sultan Abdul. It was as if Mejid I had aged a lot all at once. These few days have been a complete torment for him. Originally, he also expected that the hundreds of thousands of troops at the front would be able to withdraw to the peninsula of Asia Minor. Build a defensive line to buy more time for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. But now. Suliman. The army led by the Pasha fell into the encirclement of the enemy, which was almost equivalent to cutting off the last hope of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

When the news of this came back, the entire Ottoman Turkish Empire's top brass seemed to be in mourning, not knowing what to do next.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any good opinions? What should the Ottoman Turkish Empire do now? "Abdul. Mejid I said with red eyes. At this moment, he is like a gambler who has lost a red eye, and he has pressed all the bets. However, in the end, he still didn't turn the book over, and he still lost everything.

"Your Majesty, Suliman. The Pasha's army could not be withdrawn in time, and the defenses of the entire peninsula of Asia Minor were very empty. The latest information is that the Kingdom of Afghanistan is organizing an army to attack westward, all the way to Istanbul. Akbar's guy has always coveted the position of caliph. "Hussein. Pasha said.

"Bastard, that lowly fellow, just a guy born in a small tribe, what qualifies him to be a caliph? Only I, the Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, am the true caliphate. No one can take my place! "Abdul. Mejid I roared madly. The position of caliph has always been the ruler of the Islamic world, and an important tool for the Ottoman Turkish Empire to maintain its rule. Mejid I chatted with the spiritual comfort of **. If the caliph loses his position again, he will lose completely. Therefore, he would rather die than lose the title of caliph.

One by one, the ministers of the Ottoman Turkish Empire bowed their heads and remained silent. It is true that Akbar Khan and the Kingdom of Afghanistan are not strong, which makes it impossible for him to become the caliph who rules the entire Islamic world. However, without the full support of the Chinese Empire, it would not have been the same. Now the Ottoman Turkish Empire has fallen into a desperate situation, and if the Kingdom of Afghanistan takes its place, who else in the entire Islamic world will be able to confront the Kingdom of Afghanistan?

"Your Majesty, there is no need for this war to continue. If we continue to fight, we will pay a greater price. "Ali. Pasha said first.

"Do you mean that we are going to agree to the demands of the rebels?" Abdul. Mejid I frowned. In his opinion, accepting the other party's terms in its entirety would inevitably cost the Ottoman Turkish Empire too much.

"There's no other way than that. If we don't accept their terms, the war won't stop. Also, I fear that the other party's conditions will change again. After all, the shape of the previous shì is completely different from the present! "Ali. Pasha was a little worried. With the backing of Chinese behind the kingdoms of Afghanistan, Egypt and Najd, and the greed of Chinese is world-famous, no one can guarantee that we will not be left to gain an inch because the Ottoman Empire is now in a desperate situation.

Abdul. The expression on Mejid I's face kept changing, and finally he nodded: "And Mustafa. Lester. Pasha contacted them and agreed to their previous terms. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ali. Pasha nodded. The losses of the Ottoman Turks in this war were too great, losing millions of troops, and having to agree to the harsh conditions of the enemy, which was a complete shame for the Ottoman Empire. This also made the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which originally felt good about itself, suddenly have a swollen face by others.

After winning the last world war, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was restored to its peak, and their territory expanded from the plains of Ukraine and the Balkans to North Africa and the Middle East, which also gave the Ottoman Turkish Empire a sense of flutter, as if the Ottoman Empire had really become one of the world's great powers.

But this battle completely woke them up, and also made them see the gap between the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the real world power. The Chinese Empire had not directly launched an attack on the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but only relied on the Kingdom of Afghanistan, Egypt and the Kingdom of Najd to defeat the Ottoman Turkish Empire. If the Chinese Empire had acted directly, then the Ottoman Turkish Empire might have perished long ago!

Ali. Pasha personally gave Mustafa to the talks on the island of Cyprus. Lester. Pasha sent a telegram. In the telegram, he instructed Mustafa . Lester. The Pasha tried to get the best possible conditions for the Ottoman Empire. Their bottom line is to agree to the conditions put forward by the Kingdom of Afghanistan and other three parties last time. If the other party wants to continue to raise the price, it is impossible. Even if the Ottoman Turks were militarily defeated, they would not accept the blackmail of the other side.

Mustafa. Lester. Pasha received Ali in the . After the telegram sent by the Pasha, the whole person's face became gloomy as water. He knew that the last efforts of the Ottoman Turkish Empire had also failed. In order to survive, they had to accept humiliating conditions. (To be continued......)
