Capital of the Ottoman Empire, Constantinier.

"Defend the Holy Land! Expulsion of the Ming ......"

A loud and angry shout passed through the walls of Topkapi Palace and into the dome of the Imperial Diet. Mahmud II sat on a Turkish couch and listened intently for a moment, then looked at his Grand Vizier Karapasha.

Grand Viviel stood up, bowed to the Sultan first, and then said in a tone full of grief and indignation: "Your Majesty the Sultan, the Ming Empire is actually our thousand-year-old enemy!" The Ming Empire was based on the legal system inherited from the Tang Empire, and it was our Ottoman Turkish ancestors who were defeated by the Tang Empire and driven to the West. And since the Ming Empire signed a demarcation treaty with the Rakshasa Kingdom, it has been keen to support the Rakshasa to attack our country. Whenever there is a war between the Rakshasa and us, the Ming Empire will provide a large amount of weapons and ammunition. If it weren't for the support of the Ming Empire, how could we have lost to Catherine II's dungeon? And how can you lose the fertile lands on the Black Sea coast?

This time, the Ming Empire also provided a large amount of weapons and equipment to the Rakshasas, from cannons, cannonballs, airships...... All the way to battleships and armored cruisers, literally everything. If it weren't for the weapons provided by the Ming Empire, we wouldn't have faced the danger of losing Edirne at all! Now the Ming Empire has brazenly invaded the Persian Gulf, and is also preparing to support the Sultan of Oman in its march into Baghdad and the Holy Land, if the Sultan of Amman captures Baghdad and the Holy Land, then our empire will collapse!

Your Majesty the Sultan, the Ming Empire is our most dangerous enemy! Therefore, I beseech your Majesty to give up Greece for the time being, and to make a statement to Great Britain, France, Austria, Prussia, the Kingdom of Sardinia, Sweden, the Netherlands, and ...... The Rakshasa Kingdom seeks peace! ”

Speaking of which, Karapasa and several other Pasha are already a little old-fashioned.

Mahmud II also cried, the Ottoman Empire had ruled Greece for hundreds of years! And Greece is right next door to Constantineille, the hinterland of the Ottoman Empire. If the Ottomans could give up Greece, what about the territories of Moldavia, Wallachia, Rumillia, Serbia, Bosnia, Menegoro? Most of the inhabitants of these sites are Christians...... If all were abandoned, the Ottoman Empire, even if it could retain Constantiniye and Albania, would lose most of its industry, handicrafts, most of its taxes, and at least a third of its population.

And Egypt, the most valuable of the remaining territories of the empire, is under the control of Ali Pasha, who is ambitious and has a deep collusion with the Ming Empire!

Now that the Ming Dynasty has personally come to the end of the "defeat of the Persian Gulf", even if he will not support the Sultan of Oman to march into Baghdad, he will also support Ali Pasha to become the ruler of Arabia......

Thinking of this, Sultan Mahmud clenched his fists and muttered, "But our Ottoman Empire has never offended the Ming Empire, and we have never ...... Why do they treat us like this? ”

"Your Majesty the Sultan," Gouf Pasha stood up from a sofa and bowed slightly to Mahmud II, "in the process of the rise of the Ottoman Empire, it also destroyed many countries, are they all mortal enemies of the Ottoman Empire?" ”

"What do you mean, Gough Pasha?" Mahmud II looked at Hugh with a huff. Gough.

Stop. Goff calmly said: "I mean, nations destroy each other, usually not for revenge, but for profit!" ”

"Interests? But what was in the interest of destroying the Ottoman Empire for the Ming Empire? "Mahmoud didn't know that he was ruling an oil-rich empire...... Of course, those Zhuge military advisors will not allow most of the world's "low-cost oil" to be controlled by the Ottoman Empire!

And Daming's unusual "defeat of the Persian Gulf" this time was, of course, also to take the oil of the Persian Gulf before the official start of the world war. This oil may not be needed until the end of the world war, but it may be the key to victory in the future. Anyway, it's always right to take it down first, so the fault can only be the Ottoman Empire!

I didn't know that there was oil under my feet...... Is there a greater fault than that?

Stop. Goff didn't know that there was oil in the Middle East, but he could still justify himself: "If the Ming Empire and the Rakshasa join forces to destroy your empire, then the Balkan Peninsula and the Asia Minor Peninsula will most likely belong to the Rakshasas, and the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa may become the Ming Empire's sphere of influence...... The Ming Empire might have propped up Ali Pasha in Oman and Egypt to divide Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula equally, and the rest of North Africa to France, while they themselves had firm control over the Suinz Canal and the Red Sea.

If such a situation really occurs, then it is only a matter of time before the entire world is controlled by the Ming Empire! ”

"So what should I do?" Mahmoud Sultan looked at Hugh. Goff asked, "What can I do to save my empire?" ”

"The Grand Vizier has already spoken...... It's time to abandon Greece and sue for peace with the West! "Hugh. "My Majesty," said Gough, "I think you are well aware that Greece is the price that must be paid to save the Empire!" Only if the Ottoman Empire recognized the independence of Greece would it be possible for the Western countries to change their position and support the Ottoman Empire. ”

Greece was actually the step of the Ottoman Empire's quest for peace, and all European Christian countries, including the Rakshasas, declared war on the Ottoman Empire in the name of saving Greece. If the Ottomans were stubbornly holding on to not recognizing Greek independence, then the Rakshasa would have an excuse to continue fighting. Other Christian nations, on the other hand, were hampered by their alliance obligations and could not make peace with the Ottomans alone until their goals were achieved.

And once the Ottoman Empire recognized the independence of Greece, then the Christian countries that declared war on the Ottomans except the Rakshasa could go down the ladder...... The purpose of the declaration of war was to save Greece, and now that Greece is saved, of course they can withdraw. Rakshasa is unwilling to retreat, so let's fight it in one country by myself!

In addition, the Rakshasa generally did not support the territorial claims of Moldavia, Wallachia, Rumillia, Constantinier, Asia Minor, Transcaucasia, etc.

So it is understandable that countries switched to support the Ottoman Empire!

Mahmud II looked at the Grand Vizier again.

Karapasha said: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent! Moreover, the Ming Empire's occupation of the Persian Gulf had already posed a threat to the Holy Land, so it was now acceptable for everyone to recognize the independence of Greece and turn to defend the Holy Land. ”

Mahmud II sighed: "Well, as a caliph, between Greece and the Holy Land, I can only choose the Holy Land!" ”

Grand Vizier Karapasha breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, your choice is extremely correct! ”

Stop. Gao Fu also said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to convey your wise decision to the Duke of Wellington at the first time. ”

Mahmoud nodded: "Goffpasha, I now know who is the true friend of the Ottoman Empire, and I sincerely hope that the British Empire can defeat the Ming Empire and become the leading force of the whole world!" ”

......

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The Turks are retreating, they are evacuating Adriaticople, and we are finally victorious......"

When Peter. When Field Marshal Wiggenstein entered the palace and headquarters of Nicholas I in the city of Stara Zagora with good news, he suddenly found everyone around the Tsar beaming, as if they had won not a crushing victory, but the whole war.

Seeing that Marshal Wigenstein was a little stunned, Grand Duke Mikhail explained with a smile: "Marshal, we have just received news that the navy and expeditionary force of the Ming Empire have arrived in Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, their expeditionary force has landed, and part of the naval fleet has also sailed into the Persian Gulf...... Obviously, the Ming Empire is already on our side! So we have won, we have won the whole war, and the Eastern Roman Empire is about to be revived! ”
