"Alright! I agree, but how can so many weapons and ammunition be sent to Port Said? Know how ...... the path of the Arabs is! Joseph stopped speaking for a while, and he saw the huge airship in the sky.

The airship threw in the shadows, even blocking out the sun. God, the commander of the Ming Dynasty is so extravagant? Actually use an airship to block the scorching sun of India?

"Joseph, how about we talk about another business?" Li Xiao looked at Joseph with a smile.

"You're going to ......!" Joseph looked at Li Xiao, and it was not a good thing to see Li Xiao's smile.

"There is no such thing as an airship, the most powerful vehicle in war right now. As far as I know, the British had mastered this technology before we conquered Mumbai. Perhaps in the near future, airships will appear on the European battlefield.

Joseph, are you sure that your French army can deal with this kind of weapon that can fly in the sky, he can beat you, you can't fight his weapon? Li Xiao pointed to the airship, took a big puff of his cigar, and looked like he had eaten Joseph.

Joseph gritted his teeth, Li Xiao did eat him.

Something like an airship floats in the sky, and it is basically impossible for the weapons on the ground to hit it. The thought of this thing dropping bombs down, or strafing them with machine guns. Joseph's eyes were closed, and he felt a river of blood rushing over his face.

With this kind of thing to go to war, it was impossible for France to win the war. If you lose the war, you lose everything. Now everything of the Bonaparte family is betting on this war. They can't afford to lose, and they can't lose.

"Alright! How much earnings are needed. Joseph closed his eyes and looked like he was resigned to the flesh of the fish.

"Not much! Plus six percent. Li Xiao stretched out his hand and drew a six-character figure.

"Six percent!" Joseph was so angry that his face turned blue, and France had already completed eighty percent of the work. If there is no Ming trouble, it will be completed in half a year.

Now, as long as Daming completes the remaining 20% of the workload, he will be able to obtain 51% of the shares, which means that Daming is the majority shareholder and controlling party of the Suez Canal!

But what can he do, no way! To lose the war with the anti-French coalition is to lose everything.

Taking a deep breath, Joseph made up his mind and finally said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Joseph, whose face was pale, never imagined that such a result would be reached in this negotiation. Daming finally got 51% of the equity of the Suez Canal!

All right! In order to win this war, admit it!

Li Xiao smiled and looked at Joseph, Li Xiao's conditions? He couldn't refuse. Because for him? The war with the anti-French coalition means everything, if Li Xiao gets all the equity of the Suez Canal? It doesn't seem impossible.

But Li Xiao is not so shameless? After all, the French did eighty percent of the work on the Suez Canal.

The agreement was quickly initialed and divided into three agreements. The first agreement? It is an agreement to complete the remaining 20 percent of the work.

The second agreement was an agreement for France to buy weapons from the Ming Dynasty, including free ammunition? Plus shipping to Port Said.

The third agreement is more interesting? An agreement on the voluntary help of the French people by the Ming Volunteer Army.

The agreement stipulates that the Ming Volunteer Army will voluntarily participate in this war. It wasn't appointed by the Ming Empire, they weren't under the jurisdiction of the Ming Empire, anything they did in France? are not subject to the imperial court of the Ming Empire.

Joseph gritted his teeth? Three agreements were signed. Of course, the interest in the Suez Canal has also shrunk by 51 percent.

"Generalissimo, I wonder when we will carry out this agreement?" Joseph wanted to get the weapons down to speed. After all, the anti-French coalition could attack at any moment.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow in the early hours of the morning. Look out the window! ”

Li Xiao's residence is in Wu Sangui's former governor's mansion? Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can directly see the port of Mumbai.

Huge ships parked in the harbor? All steamships. The full load displacement reached more than 80,000 tons.

"Such a cargo ship can take away 60,000 tons of cargo at a time. Those weapons of yours? These three ships will be able to reach the port of Suez in about a month. I'll leave the rest to the airship. We're going to send fifty airships? Round-the-clock to help you transport to Port Said.

What do you have to do? Get your boat ready in Port Said. After the airship landed in Port Said? We won't care about the rest. Li Xiao told Joseph very clearly that the affairs of the Mediterranean Sea are not under the control of Daming.

"That's fine, can you get the airship to take me to Port Said right now? I need time to schedule in advance! "Joseph can't care about the Suez Canal now, and the most important thing is to send the weapons back to France in time to fight the anti-French alliance.

"Huzi! You arrange it, Joseph is also an old friend of yours. Of course, Li Xiao would not arrange such a trivial matter in person, so he raised his glass to Joseph and toasted the red wine in the glass.

Li Hu smiled and pulled Joseph away, he still had his own things to discuss with Joseph.

"Tell the rest of the cargo ships to set off immediately. Send all those Indian laborers to Suez, and tell Queen Zhangxi that even if they use hand planing, the Suez Canal must be cut through by Lao Tzu within three months.

His grandmother's, this time Lao Tzu is going to play a black tiger to dig out his heart. Li Dingguo was ordered to ensure the safety of the Suez Canal no matter what. In addition, the 2nd Marine Division, which was redeployed to Zuo Liangyu, also went to Suez. The Ming Dynasty wants to supervise the entire territory of the Suez Canal, and anyone who dares to sabotage the canal project will be shot immediately without trial. Li Xiao gave orders to Sun Xing one after another.

"No!" Sun Xing repeated, and then went out to convey the order.

He knew what Li Xiao was going to do. The Ottoman Empire went too far this time, and if they didn't teach them a lesson, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to gain a foothold in the Middle East. It's just that he doesn't know what the big marshal means by the black tiger's heart, and it is estimated that it has something to do with the Suez Canal. Otherwise, the marshal would not have taken the Suez Canal in such a hurry.

At this very moment, Sultan Suleiman II of the Ottoman Empire in distant Constantinople was receiving a wise man from the East.

"Dolgon, you said that you were born in the far east, and that your father was a great king. So, how did you come to India, and how did you come to me? "Suleiman II, look at this personable Oriental man in front of you. His dark eyes flickered and flickered, and he looked very shrewd.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, I was indeed born in the far East. At that time, my people were bullied by the Ming Dynasty, and in order to resist the tyranny of the Ming Dynasty, our ancestors rose up to resist. Eventually, we defeated the Ming and established our own kingdom. Dolgon spoke.

"Then why did you end up in our Ottoman Empire?" Ahmed, the prime minister, looked at Dorgon with interest.

"The Ming Dynasty is too large, and my people together are only 300,000 people. And Daming has a population of more than 20 million in Shandong Province alone, and for us, Daming is a behemoth.

My people fought the fiercest struggle, but they were swallowed up by the sea of people of the Ming Dynasty. Later, I was recruited by Sir Wu Sangui, Governor of India in the British Empire, and I helped him in India.

It's a pity that the Ming took advantage of the internal contradictions of the Indians. The successful division and disintegration of the Indians ultimately led to the defeat of the British Empire in India. ”

"Oh! What contradictions did the Ming take advantage of the Indians? "Also a multi-ethnic state, Suleiman II was very sensitive to this issue.

Dorgon lowered his head, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. I just said this to arouse the interest of Suleiman II.

"For Indians, the English are outsiders. They overtaxed the native people of India, but this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was the kings of the small states of India, who were seduced by the Ming Dynasty.

Da Ming gave them many benefits, and these people only look at the immediate benefits, so they will naturally help Da Ming.

As a result, everyone can see that India today is no longer a unified and powerful country. They split into many small states, and the Indian nation will never be stronger again, never again. Dolgon's words were filled with poignant poignancy that made Suleiman II feel very close.

The Ottoman Empire was also a multi-ethnic state, as was the Ottoman Empire, which existed in India. Under his rule, there were not only Turks, but also Arabs and Persians. There are also two major feuding factions, Sunni and Shia, and religious and ethnic contradictions are in chaos. If you want to sort it out, you have to have the ability to be a prophet.

Perhaps there is a prophetic ability, but it is impossible to sort out such a complex issue.

"Oh! You mean, it's not that the Indians don't listen to the British governor, it's that the kings of the Indian states don't listen to the governor. "Think about it again, Ahmed has a realization.

The Arabs and Persians under the Ottoman Empire also belonged to the tribal system. The chiefs of those small tribes were actually no different from the kings of the small states of India.

In this case, the problems that have arisen in India may well arise on the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Moreover, because of religious issues, the situation in the Ottoman Empire was more complicated than that of the Indians.

"Yes! Locally, the kings of the small states were very powerful. The British Governor could not deal with the kings of so many small states at the same time! ”

Suleiman II and Ahmet glanced at each other, and both saw unease in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, Dorgon did not come empty-handed. He brought with him a large number of drawings of the Indians making weapons, and he also brought some craftsmen over. If we had followed his drawings, we would have made weapons as sophisticated as the Indians. "The Great General Koprulu was not interested in those policy matters, and the only thing he was interested in was the application of new weapons. Dolgon was introduced to the Sultan by him!

"Oh!" Suleiman II was very interested, and Indian weapons have always had a good reputation in the West. The Ottoman Empire once purchased a batch of rifles, and the army was full of praise after using them. Now the Ottoman Empire will also have the ability to create such weapons, and Suleiman II is very excited.

"Your Majesty, this is a weapon called rocket artillery. Usually fired in tandem, these rockets are incredibly powerful and ideal for dealing with large groups of enemies.

The most important thing is that this weapon is simple to make and powerful. The disadvantage is that the accuracy is not good, but we can increase the number of rockets to achieve the effect of instant mass destruction of enemy troops.

This is the blueprint of the rifle, which I remember General Koprulu once bought, and I still pulled the thread in the middle.

This is called a cannon, and it is the best artillery for destroying fixed formulas. This is called a heavy machine gun, which is an imitation of the product of the Ming Dynasty, this ......! ”

Dolgon took one drawing after another from Zilharang's hand and showed it to Suleiman II.

Suleiman II looked at these drawings with a burst of excitement in his heart. If you have these weapons yourself, you will definitely be able to expand the territory of the Ottoman Empire in the future.

No longer have to fear the Hungarians and the Holy Roman Empire to the north, or the resistance of the Slavs in the Balkans. Even more do not be afraid of the Russians who frequently rubbed with themselves in the Caucasus.

"Good! Ahmed, Dorgon will be in your hands. Entertain them well and turn the weapons on the drawings into real objects as soon as possible. Stay, Koprulu, and we'll have something to discuss in a moment. Dolgon, you go out first. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Sultan!" Dorgon bowed to Suleiman II, then withdrew.

"The problems of the Indians are also bothering us. What can we do if those Arab tribes, and the Persian tribes, rebel? Suleiman II looked at the two of them with great concern.

"Your Majesty, I don't think the Arab tribes or the Persian tribes are a big problem. Because their tribes are very scattered, although they seem to be independent kingdoms, they have a small population and are really limited in their abilities.

Moreover, although some of them are different from us, they belong to the same religion after all, and many of their habits are very similar to God.

I am most worried about the Armenians, who, after their conquest, have been hooking up with the Russians. They believe in Orthodox Christianity, which is the same as that of the Russians. If I were a general of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to divide and disintegrate, the first thing I would consider was the Armenians. Ahmed voiced his concerns.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, in our army, the Armenians have always been very disobedient. Moreover, even if they fought for us, most of them were messing around, often not working. On the battlefield, they run the fastest. When it came time to see the spoils of war, these Armenians were the quickest.

My subordinates all hate the Armenians, and they will be very happy if they are asked to clean them up. Kouprulu also expressed his opinion.

"Armenians, well! They are indeed a great trouble, they are different from their religion, they are different from their people, and they have always refused to conform to our religion. ”

"So what do you say?"

"Get rid of them and fill our treasury with their possessions. Sell their women as slaves. This will add a great deal of money to the treasury, and we will be able to make the weapons that Dorgon spoke of. ”

"Hmmm! I agree. ”

"The elimination of the Armenians will not only enrich our treasury, but also imitate the infiltration of the Russians in the north. I agree too! ”

"Hmmm! It's time for the infidels to taste the scimitar. ”

"Kill the Armenians!"

The important ministers of the Ottoman Empire agreed to kill the Armenians.
