Hearing the word "Russia", Abdul immediately came to his senses.

"William is right, the greedy Russians have stretched their hands too long!"

"In my opinion, the Russians should retreat north of Kievan Rus, out of the Caucasus and Crimea!"

Looking at the excited Brother Abdul, Zhu Fugui pursed his lips disdainfully.

That's it?

Didn't you even imagine the scene of playing music on Red Square?

It is worthy of being a husky among the Turkish dogs in the country, the barking is very loud, and it is really waiting for the bite, a little cowardly......

After listening to the two of them talking for a long time, Zhu Fugui generally figured out the appetite of Germany and the Ottomans.

To be honest, in Zhu Fugui's opinion, their appetite is really not too big.

The idea of the Germans was that they wanted to unite the Germanic states outside of Anglo-Saxon and gain access to the coal and copper mines of all of Poland, as well as a part of the grain-growing areas of the Ukrainian plains.

In addition, Germany wanted to finish what had not been done after the last Franco-Prussian War, which had not been done under British intervention.

Rather than annexing France, William had little interest in ruling France, and only intended to prop up an obedient puppet.

His central goal was to acquire all of France's colonies in West Africa, North Africa, India, and Southeast Asia.

Because after the completion of integration, Germany will be entrenched above its head and block the access to the sea, and Denmark, which is particularly in the way, has been annexed.

If you are lucky, you can also take northern Italy, so that Germany, like France, will be bordered by the sea to the north and south.

Germany's access to the sea would be exceptionally smooth, and they would be able to defend their overseas interests.

At that time, Germany will become a maritime power, with interests all over the world.

However, on this point, Zhu Fugui raised objections.

The French governor in Saigon, Master Macken, was an old friend of the Ming Dynasty, with whom the Ming Dynasty signed the Ming-Saigon Security Treaty.

Therefore, the Ming demanded that the benefits claimed by Germany should not extend beyond the east of Sri Lanka.

Therefore, the French colonies in the East Indies and Indochina, and the Dutch colonies in the Indonesian archipelago should be handed over to the Ming Dynasty after the war.

And Zhu Fugui also suggested that Brother William should not just stare at one wool.

How can you not imagine the complete dismemberment of Britain and the removal of the so-called "jewel in the crown of the British Queen" - the great Hindustan?

To tell the truth, of course Zhu Fugui doesn't like the Germans entrenched in India, but to paint cakes, of course, you have to pick up good paintings.

At the same time, when planning big things, the attitude of fighting for one's own interests will make criminal accomplices feel at ease.

Obviously, this was also in Bismarck's calculations.

He asked William to deliberately mention the French colonies in the Far East in order to test Zhu Fugui's attitude.

Now Zhu Fugui's attitude makes him very satisfied.

As for Brother Abdul, his appeal is actually very simple.

First, the abolition of the independence of the Kingdom of Greece, the consolidation of Ottoman rule in the Balkans, and the recovery of Hungary.

Second, to expel the British and French forces in Egypt and North Africa, and to restore all Ottoman sovereignty over the southern shores of the Mediterranean and the Nile Valley.

Third, to regain the Balkan Peninsula from Tsarist Russia, consolidate the rule of the Crimean Peninsula, and recover the northern shore of the Black Sea.

Fourth, to gain dominance of the Persian region.

Among them, the Ottoman and German interests could clash in the North African direction.

Like Zhu Fugui, he proposed that Germany should not inherit the French colonies in Bia, Morocco, and Tunisia, because Libya and other places were already part of the Ottoman Empire.

As for the breakup of Austria and Hungary in the Balkans, both sides would be able to accept it.

On the Russian side, the two sides agreed to take the Kiev-Moldova line as the boundary, with Germany in the northwest and Ottomans in the southeast.

On the North African issue, William is not so eloquent.

First, North Africa is of course much more important to Europe than the Far East.

Moreover, the division of interests is, after all, a competition for each other's strength.

I'll give you everything you want, brother, let's give a discount.

After more than two hours of debate, the two sides agreed to take Tripoli as the boundary, with Germany in the west and Ottomans in the east.

On the Ming side, because of the distance, after the Germans abandoned France's colonies in the Far East, Mingde no longer had any conflict of interest.

This is also the reason why Zhu Fugui is happy to form an alliance with Germany.

Distant and close attack.

The old ancestor was right.

As for Brother Abdul's side, Da Ming first asked him never to meddle in the affairs of the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty, and never use any way to influence the Muslims in the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, with regard to the Persian region, the Ming suggested that de facto occupation should be used as the basis for land distribution.

Abdul disagrees with this.

Because the concept of the Persian region is too big, what should I do if I am not careful, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty come to Baghdad?

Even if you don't get to Baghdad, you can't stand Abdul if you occupy Tehran.

Now that Britain is entrenched in Persia, the Ottomans have been on their backs.

If the British can be defeated with great difficulty, of course, the great caliph should execute the Persian Shiites who do not know whether they are alive or dead.

Truth be told, if the hatred of the Russian heretics is 10, the hatred of the Ottomans for the Persian heretics is at least 11.

Those damned Persians not only believed in other sects, but also intensified their missionary efforts against the Buraku and peasants in Iraq, making them convert to Shiism, and on the other hand, they took advantage of the loopholes in the Ottoman system and launched a propaganda offensive against military officers and government officials in Iraq, so that many officials of the Iraqi authorities of the Ottoman government also leaned towards Shiism.

In a census, the Ottoman government found that the Shiite population already made up 20 percent of Iraq's population.

It's pretty scary stuff.

Finally, in 1822, Sultan Mahmud II issued a decree prohibiting Ottoman women from marrying Persians.

At the same time, Shiites are prohibited from participating in traditional festivals, and the policy is systematically restricted.

It can be said that if Persia, the stronghold of Shiism, cannot be completely eradicated, the Ottomans will not be able to sleep and eat.

However, Zhu Fugui's attitude is also very tough.

Long before the emergence of this faction and that faction, rest was part of the Tang Dynasty, and the Persian prince died in Chang'an, and he also left a letter of gift.

Why, it's only a thousand years, and you don't want to admit it?

After repeated arguments, in the end, Zhu Fugui and Abdul gave in to each other's personal friendship.

It was agreed that the Ming and Ottomans would be bounded in Persia by the traditional territory of Khorasan.

Khorasan, which means "the place where the sun rises".

It probably included the northeastern part of present-day Iran, Afghanistan and most of Turkmenistan, all of Tajikistan, the eastern half of Uzbekistan, and part of Kyrgyzstan.

Or it can be called East Iran in general, and it was the first line of defense for the Iranians against the Scythians and Turks – the real Turks – beyond the Amu Darya River.

It's a bit like the Hetao region of China.

Compared to Persia, it is actually more Turkic orthodox.

But Abdul waved his hand.

What Turkic orthodoxy, as long as you don't bother me to hang heretics, Brother Zhu, you can take it!

In the end, Zhu Fugui, Abdul, and William all set their sights on the last piece of land in Eurasia.

That is what Zhu Fugui proposed before, the "jewel in the crown of the British Queen" - Great Hindustan.

If it can really crush the British completely, India can really cut it.

But how to cut this India, you have to think about it carefully.
