"Haha-Shaharu, gear our soldiers with new weapons, cheers." Diaphragm

Ottoman, Adrianople.

The Ottoman king Omurad and the Timurid king Shahru gently touched their glasses.

Just last month, a piece of exciting news came to them.

After the union of craftsmen from several countries, the last order for weapons was finally handed over last month.

Although they could also buy weapons from the Ming Dynasty, the quantities were limited after all, and it was very troublesome to transport them.

As the saying goes, it is better to seek others than to seek yourself, relying on Daming is not a way after all, or the technology in your hands is assured.

When the alliance of Allah was formed, Omurad, as the leader of the alliance, announced the establishment of a world-class artisan base in Constantinople, bringing together the craftsmen of the alliance to work together to build weapons for the alliance. Diaphragm

If this had been done in the past, countries would never have agreed to it.

But now the pressure of Daming is in front of him, if they are engaged in infighting at this time and do not unite together, then what awaits them will be Daming's ruthless crushing.

And Omurad also said that he will not privately swallow all kinds of technologies, and will announce them to various countries, so that everyone can work together for common development.

In order to fight against the Ming Dynasty, it was the first time that the countries had no selfishness, and sent most of the artisan slaves in the country to Constantinople to join the world's largest industrial city.

As the saying goes, there is great power in numbers, so many excellent craftsmen gathered together, coupled with the temptation of heavy rewards, and the collision of various ideas aroused different sparks.

They used the waterfall to make all kinds of pressure and hammering equipment, and at the same time made the division of labor for everyone, learned the knowledge stolen from the Ming Dynasty, and began to assemble the production line of weapons and equipment.

They have also made a big breakthrough in firearms. Diaphragm

After their research, they found that the weapons of the Ming Dynasty, except for the barrel that they could not manufacture for the time being, were all very easy to produce equipment.

All kinds of equipment, as long as the model and size are unified, the division of labor and production in various places will begin, and when the barrel is ready, it will be assembled as a new rifle.

As for the artillery, it is simpler, that old-fashioned artillery, to be honest, there is no technical difficulty at all

Some old craftsmen look at it once, and they have a big heart in their hearts, and they are almost manufactured, and the only thing that is somewhat difficult is to solve the problem that the toughness of steel is not good and it is easy to blow up.

But it's still the same sentence, three stinkers top one Zhuge Liang.

In order to study the problem of materials, Omurad gathered together good craftsmen, kept them from production, and gave them the best treatment and management, and let them start to study all kinds of materials, with the aim of forging excellent steel to make perfect barrels and barrels.

After another 4 months of research, discussion and experimentation, the craftsmen finally handed in the perfect answer. Diaphragm

Although the steel produced is still far from the quality of Daming, it also meets the current needs of Allah.

According to their tests, as long as there is no continuous firing in a short time, the barrel does not have problems with bombs.

In the era of queuing to shoot, a musketeer can shoot more than five shots in a battle, which is not bad.

So for this kind of problem that is not a problem, the top of Allah directly ignored it and began to order the large-scale production of steel and the manufacture of weapons and equipment.

For artillery, the craftsmen chose materials made from copper mixed with other ores.

Copper is very tough, and together with other ores, it has the properties of being both flexible and strong, and after many tests, this mixed copper has finally become the material for making artillery.

After 100,000 slaves and tens of thousands of craftsmen, working day and night, 50,000 flintlock pistols and 600 artillery pieces were finally handed over last month. Diaphragm

After receiving the weapons, Omurad sent them to the coalition forces formed by various countries, and asked them to start training according to the combat methods changed from the Ming Dynasty.

The sweet wine entered his belly, and Shaharu chuckled: "Mr. Alliance Leader, now that our weapons have been built and the soldiers are almost trained, I don't know when you think we can start a war against Da Ming." ”

"Ah San's territory is very rich, and the grain that the Ming Dynasty takes away from there every year is enough for the people of the Ottoman Empire to eat for two years."

"These lands were given to us by Allah, and now they have been taken away by those evil Daming, and now that we are fully equipped and have enough food, it is time to take back everything that belongs to us."

Omurad nodded with a smile and shook his head randomly.

"Your Excellency Shaharu, although I agree with your statement, but now my country is haunted by the Black Death, if it were not for my order to close the coalition barracks, I am afraid that our army would have died in the barracks before it went to war."

"The primary enemy for us now is not the Daimyo, but the invisible Black Death." Diaphragm

Hearing this, Shaharu, who was originally smiling, gradually changed his expression.

Noticing Shaharu's smile, Omurad hurriedly reassured his allies in order to stabilize his allies.

"Don't worry, my friend, I promise you that as soon as the storm of the Black Death passes, I will immediately order the army to set out, defeat the evil Daming, and let the whole world be shrouded in the light of Allah."

"When the time comes, I will defeat the Ming Dynasty, and I will share the land of the Ming Dynasty with you, and then the whole world will belong to you and me."

The flatbread is very well drawn, but unfortunately Shaharu doesn't buy it.

It's also a total of the world, what you say is better than what you sing, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that this side will defeat the Ming side, and you will attack me.

The reason why Shaharu wanted to attack so early was not because he was greedy for the land of the Ming Dynasty, but because the pressure on him from the Ming Dynasty was too great. Diaphragm

The confrontation with Zhang Fu in the past two years made Shaharu understand that Daming's strength was increasing rapidly.

A few years ago, he used a little more troops to stop the Daming and A three-front group army. In the past two years, he needed to send several times more troops to hold Zhang Fu back.

Shaharu knew in his heart that Da Ming's side didn't want to hit him for the time being, otherwise once Da Ming moved with all his strength, he wouldn't be able to stop him at all.

It was precisely because the threat to him from the Ming was too great that Shaharu put aside his grudge with the Ottoman Empire and allied with it to fight against the Ming together.

Originally, he thought that after a few years, when the alliance was strong, he would attack Daming.

But time really waits for no one, he wants to wait for Daming not to give him this time.

As far as he knew, by the time he came to this banquet, Da Ming had already launched an attack on the plateau. Diaphragm

Although he still doesn't know what the outcome will be?

But he was sure that the monkeys on the plateau would definitely not be able to stop Da Ming.

Once the Ming Dynasty takes the plateau, the Timurid Empire will meet the Ming attack from three or even four aspects.

Now he is enough to resist one side, Shaharu does not dare to imagine how long his Timurid empire can resist if the Ming Dynasty attacks him from all directions.

It was precisely because he felt the persecution of the Ming Dynasty that Shahruming knew that the West was not safe now, so he had to rush over to participate in this boring celebration banquet and ask Omurad to launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

But when he came to the West, after inquiring, he found that the Black Death was more terrifying than he imagined.

The cities he passed through were tightly closed, there was not even a ghost on the streets, and everyone stayed at home, praying not to be blessed by death. Diaphragm

In a country in this state, to be honest, Shaharu also knew that it was not suitable to start a war, so he could only choose to avoid talking about it and no longer discuss this issue.

Sighing softly, he put the wine glass in his hand on the waiter's plate, and Shaharu looked at the nobles who were not wearing masks in the entire banquet hall, and some doubts arose in his heart.

"Your Excellency, the Black Death of your country is so serious, why are none of your nobles protected by it, aren't they afraid of being infected?"

Omurad, who was looking at a noble lady on the side, smiled slightly and said casually: "There is a medicine on the black market, if you use it after being infected by the Black Reaper, you will not be infected again." ”

"Although its price is a bit exaggerated, it is still more important than your own life."

Sahara was instantaneous.

He said, why do these nobles dare to blatantly gather, are they really not afraid of death, dare to love the family has already taken the antidote. Diaphragm

Knowing that the Black Death had a way to suppress it, Shaharu thought that he was in a dangerous place, and planned to ask Omurad where he could get this medicine.

Just now, he took a fancy to several aristocratic ladies, but he was afraid that after having intimate contact, he would be touched by the black death, so he could only endure the heat in his heart and pretend not to see it.

Now that he has a solution, he naturally will not give up the opportunity to taste exoticism.

"Alliance..."

"Your Majesty, something has happened!"

Shaharu had barely spoken, and before he could say his question, he was interrupted by an Ottoman officer who had hurried over.

"What happened?" Diaphragm

Omurad, who was disturbed by his good mood, frowned.

The officer looked left and right, and wanted to come to Omurad's side to report, but he reached out and stopped him.

"No need to do this, His Majesty Shahru is my best friend, and there is no need to hide anything from him in our country."

Shaharu, who had no intention of leaving, smiled at Omurad's words and turned to the side.

"Tell me, what's going on!"

Nodding apologetically to Shaharu, Omurad led the officer to a corner.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Locke has suddenly launched an attack on Damascus, which it took only two days to break through, and is now marching towards Aleppo, coming towards our Ottoman Empire." Diaphragm

The officer quickly reported the urgent information he had just received to Omurad.

"What, that despicable traitor, how dare you attack us!"

The news that Rocco had taken over the Mamluks had already spread in the West.

For this guy who committed the following crimes, the Western countries despised him and gave him the nickname of a traitor.

"Yes, Your Majesty, and this is news from 10 days ago, it is estimated that the army of the Rocco Kingdom has broken through Aleppo."

"After all, they only have 5,000 people, and it is difficult to resist the army of the Rocco Kingdom with hundreds of thousands of troops equipped with muskets and artillery."

The officer nodded affirmatively, and said a guess that made Omurad's face solemn. Diaphragm

"In addition, Your Majesty, according to reports from the front, the army of the Rocco Kingdom is equipped with excellent muskets, as well as a large number of artillery."

"There's also a strange kind of artillery that can fire a dozen shells from a distance, and when those shells fall down, soldiers for a mile or so will be killed."

"If it is smashed in a dense phalanx, it is estimated that a 10,000-strong army can be severely damaged and disabled."

"Damn it!"

Omurad slammed the glass to the ground and spun around in an anxious circle.

"It's Da Ming, it must be Da Ming, except for Da Ming, there is no force that can provide so many weapons and equipment for that betrayer."

"Damn, these damn Oriental yellow-skinned monkeys, they want to provoke a war in the West, and then fish in troubled waters." Diaphragm

"Rocco, you bastard, you deserve to be called a traitor, you bastard, you betrayed not only your king, but the whole West."

Omurad's scolding attracted the attention of many people, and the lively banquet hall gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at Omurad, who was cursing in a low voice while cursing behind his back.

"What's wrong with His Majesty? What happened? ”

Baron Oliver, who had just been talking to a noble lady, walked over quickly.

"Damn."

Omurad, who has always been calm, cursed before he could explain, he pointed in the direction of the Rocco Kingdom, and scolded in a low voice: "Rocco, that betrayer, took refuge in the Ming Dynasty and betrayed the entire West. Now he is taking the Ming to support his army of weapons and equipment, and shamelessly launched a sneak attack on us. ”

"What!" Diaphragm

"Damned traitor!"

The hall was filled with exclamations, and everyone was both angry at Rocco's betrayal and worried about the situation at the border.

"Your Excellency, we can't wait any longer, now that Da Ming has made a move, I think their purpose is very simple, that is, they want to use the Roco Kingdom to consume our power while the Black Death is raging, and then swallow us in one fell swoop."

Shaharu stepped forward and voiced his speculations and concerns.

Omurad, who had gradually calmed down, nodded, and he waved at the people who stopped in the banquet hall? The noble ladies and the inconsequential people bowed and took their leave.

After the door closed after the unrelated people left, Omrad put his hands behind his back, thought for a moment, and said to everyone: "We can't determine whether Da Ming will cooperate with the Rock Kingdom and launch an attack together. ”

"So we have to prepare for both sides, and be prepared for the possibility of a war on two fronts." Diaphragm

Omula turned around and came to the large map in the banquet hall, pointed to the place where the Ming opened the canal, and said, "My idea is to drive the troops of the Rocco Kingdom here before the Ming attack, and then we will build a defense line to stop them on their homeland." ”

With his fist slammed on the map, Omurad looked at everyone and said, "Once this goal is accomplished, except for a small number left to defend against the Rocco Kingdom, the others immediately turn around and arrive at the place where the Ming Dynasty attacked. If they do not choose to attack, but instead sit back and watch the chaos in our West, then start a war against them and ignite the war on their soil! ”

"At the same time, let the wizards of various countries prepare, no matter what method they use, to spread the Black Death to the territory of adults."

"Let the Ming be in chaos internally, unable to wage war against us, or unable to resist our attack."

After talking about his general plan, Omurad looked at everyone and asked, "Do you have anything else to add?" ”

The ministers were lost in thought and did not answer immediately.

Shaharu on the side thought about it and made his own suggestion. Diaphragm

"Your Excellency, I propose to unite the navies of all countries."

"Although we can block the Rocco Kingdom on land, don't forget that Daming still has a large naval force."

"If the Ming Dynasty hadn't started a war, the navy probably wouldn't have launched an attack on us, but that doesn't mean that they wouldn't help the Rocco Kingdom to transport troops and attack us from other places to continue to cause chaos within us."

Omurad nodded.

In fact, there is no need for Shaharu to say, he has already had this idea in his heart.

It's just that he has just taken over the main armies of various countries on the front foot, and he is robbing other people's navies on the back foot, so someone should have an opinion.

Therefore, when he was formulating a simple battle plan just now, he did not say a word about the affairs of the navy, just because he wanted to wait for others to put it forward, so that he could take advantage of the donkey to take advantage of the slope and agree to it. Diaphragm

"Do you have any opinions?"

After Shaharu had spoken his question, Omurad looked at the other kings.

The other kings were not as powerful as the two countries, and although they were dissatisfied with this, they could only agree under the gaze of the two kings.

When the simple meeting was over, Omurad told everyone to go back and prepare, leaving Shahru alone.

"My brother, now the greatest challenge for us has come, and I need your full help for me."

Grabbing Shaharu's hand, Omurad pleaded sincerely.

Although Omurad did not explain, Shaharu knew very well in his heart what the other party wanted him to do. Diaphragm

Taking a deep breath, Shaharu solemnly replied, "How long do you need me to resist Da Ming?" ”

Looking at each other's gazes, Omurad said slowly: "One year, at least a year!" ”

Shaharu fell into deep thought.

To be honest, a year is a bit difficult.

If Da Ming really cooperated with the Luo Ming Kingdom to launch an attack together, with Da Ming's terrifying strength, he would not say that it would be a year, and he would be able to block it for half a year, and it would be extraordinary.

But he also understood Omurad's difficulties, so he could only grit his teeth and nod.

"I'll try my best, but I need flintlock pistols and artillery, otherwise I estimate that I won't be able to stop it for even half a year, Da Ming is more powerful than you think, I don't know how many times, if there are no muskets and artillery, my soldiers with all kinds of cold weapons can't stop Da Ming's soldiers at all." Diaphragm

Omurad breathed a sigh of relief and slapped Shahru's hand heavily.

"That's for sure, my brother, I'll send someone to send the weapon as soon as possible, and I hope you must hold on for a year."

"I swear to Allah, the Almighty, when I defeat Daming, I will share the world with you."
