635.Chapter 635: Allies and Enemies

In the following, the two sides more or less set a general direction and the tone of the negotiations. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info of course, this is in the interest of the Russian Gothic Empire.

As for the formal terms, it will of course take some time before they are signed. Of course, this is a relatively long process, as the emperor, Aurangzeb has so many things to do, and there are so many charming girls in the harem to appease, so he naturally does not have time to carry out the whole process.

Of course, of course, even so, he did a lot of such and such things.

Well, that's it, that's it, the Russian Gothic Empire was not in a hurry, but the Mughal Empire was in a very hurry. In this way, one is asking for others, and the other is very pleasant.

The two sides signed such an agreement as quickly as possible.

First, the two sides formed an alliance, and then the two sides gave each other MFN status - of course, because the Mughal Empire did not actually have much goods to export to the Russian Gothic Empire, so this MFN status could only be said to be cheap for the Russian Gothic Empire. At the same time, the Russian Gothic Empire will also have the tariff power of the Mughal Empire, in addition to the power of free passage and free trade, in addition to sending students to the Russian Gothic Empire, recruiting consultants to the Russian Gothic Empire, lending loans to the Russian Gothic Empire, and using mines and other industries as collateral.

The content and purpose of these loans are, of course, to be used to purchase weapons and equipment produced by the Russian Gothic Empire, and cannot be used arbitrarily.

It was only natural that these weapons and equipment should be placed in the hands of the Russian Gothic Empire, which was considered useful, so the Mughals hired a large number of Russian Gothic officers and veterans at high salaries, who served as instructors and advisors to help them train their troops.

It can be said that the Russian Gothic Empire made a good deal. Of course, in a sense, the Mughal Empire was not too bad. Although this treaty, that treaty was signed a whole bunch of them. But they were still able to get something.

More importantly, the Russian Gothic Empire also signed a secret agreement with them, which stipulated that the Russian Gothic Empire would crack down on transnational smuggling crimes.

This vague statement actually indicates that the empire will stop supplying weapons and equipment to the Mughal enemy.

Perhaps, this is the real reason why the Mughals were able to endure the humiliation of signing such a treaty with the Empire.

All in all, that's pretty much it. The Russian Gothic Empire entered into an alliance with the Mughals. I found myself an excellent cannon fodder, shield, and buffer.

In particular, William had heard of a pleasant story, that is, after this period of recuperation, Victoria thought that he had enough strength to attack the Mughal Empire.

Of course, unpleasant news is not without it. That is, when attacking the Mughals, Victoria was also preparing to attack the Marathas at the same time.

This surprised William a little.

However, after calculating Victoria's military strength, although William was very unhappy, he also had to admit the fact that even if Victoria attacked both the Marathas and the Mughals, she still had a good chance of success.

Of course, this probability is derived after removing the influence of other powers, such as the Russian Gothic Empire. In other words, if such a power as the Russian Gothic Empire had intervened, then things would have changed completely differently.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, toh. A behemoth like the Russian Gothic Empire, even a slight movement of the body now could cause the decline of a regional power, or even its complete collapse.

Therefore, the reason why the current Mughal Empire is so stubborn and humiliating is precisely because it knows the strength of the Russian Gothic Empire.

Mainly because of the previous wars, in the war against the Zoroastrian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Gothic Empire shocked the whole world with its strong performance, even the Mughal Empire, which is located in the South Asian subcontinent, in this situation cannot but begin to pay attention to the emergence of this powerful empire, his movements and his intentions.

After all, the Mughal Empire, despite its high self-esteem, still took the Zoroastrian Empire seriously, believing it to be a formidable opponent on a par with the Mughal Empire.

As for the Ottoman Empire, although the Mughal Empire did not share a border, the two sides still had a lot of exchanges through seafaring trade.

The Mughals also knew the strength of the Ottoman Empire, and even vaguely understood that the Ottoman Empire was a great empire that was more powerful than themselves and the Zoroastrian Empire.

However, yes, however, these two powerful empires fell under the arms of the Russian Gothic Empire in succession, which makes how the Mughals not be afraid, how can they not be afraid, how can they not be afraid, how can they not fantasize.

If you have such a strong power, what should you do?

It's as if most people think that the center of the universe is themselves, or rather, they are the protagonists. The Mughals came to the conclusion of course, "They really want to print!"

"Well, yes, absolutely, these guys have a lot of ideas for my empire, so I have to be defensive. ”

However, the reality is very cruel, so cruel that the other party can hardly accept it.

That is, the Russian Gothic Empire has not yet launched an attack on them, and the Mughal Empire, it seems, can no longer hold out.

Even if you know that the aid of the Russian Gothic Empire is not so easy to get, even if you know that the Russian Gothic Empire has bad intentions for itself, it is even likely that it wants to annex itself entirely.

But even so, at such a critical juncture, the Mughals had to desperately eat puffer fish.

Drink to quench thirst and draw bread to satisfy hunger. Of course, they will soon understand that the Russian Gothic Empire's flatbread is big and round, the Russian Gothic Empire's puffer fish is tender and delicious, and the Russian Gothic Empire's wine is even more delicious.

Just as William expected, these guys will die in Yan Hui and will perish in cheers. That is, to type gg or something in the midst of laughter.

But before that, the Mughal Empire must have become like eating gold, and instantly strengthened so much that its enemies shouted "This is unscientific".

Strong enough to hold back the Britons until the Russian Gothic Empire's expeditionary force annexed Afghanistan.

Yes, Afghanistan.

Although in William's previous life, Afghanistan seemed to be a very weak chicken, and there was no other way than to rely on the advantages of the imperial graveyard to trap some people.

But in reality, this is not the case.

Historically, Afghanistan has also emerged, nurtured, and given birth to some commendable regional powers. These powers were also at one point the most powerful, attacking India in the east, Persia in the west, and annexing parts of the steppes, Khiva and Kashmir in the north.

As it is now, it has not been able to get close to the heart of the Zoroastrian Empire, and at the same time, it has not been able to quickly annex some important parts of India, and the current Kingdom of Afshar is a country with Afghanistan as its core.

If the country is a dynasty of Afghanistan, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the country was subordinate to the Persian Empire many times in history.

The powerful dynasties that controlled Central Asia invariably brought the region of Afghanistan under their control when they were strong.

It's just a pity that India on one side and Zoroaster on the other, both of which have more potential for a strong power than Afghanistan.

Therefore, Afghanistan can only be one of their stepping stones.

But of course, that being said, in fact, in the vast majority of cases, Afghanistan is in the midst of chaotic tribal politics. If each tribe dominates one side and fights indiscriminately, it is difficult to emerge a unified regime.

When the Zoroastrian Empire was strong, it was usually not aimed at attacking and forcibly occupying Afghanistan, but with the aim of Huairou, and then asking the various tribes of Afghanistan to take the initiative to surrender to the Zoroastrian Empire.

As I said before, the Zoroastrian Empire likes to engage in the politics of tribal and city-state alliances.

Today, hundreds of thousands of years later, all civilized city-states have basically become part of the empire. However, those wild and untamable tribes still remain semi-independent.

This is one of the reasons why in William's previous life, after the modern world, Iran could no longer maintain a strong Persian empire and take Afghanistan under its control.

The centrifugal force of these tribes is simply too strong.

"So to speak. William said this, a little helpless: "So now we are facing one of the most difficult wars in the world - how to face a united, powerful kingdom of Afghanistan, conquer it, and effectively occupy it." If you can, it's better to bring in another group of Afghan mountain warriors to serve the empire.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's brainstorm a little, whoever has the means to do this, I will definitely be rewarded!

Hearing William say this, the generals and officers under his command, whether they were the chief officers of the troops or the staff officers, were very excited and eager to try.

Speaking of which, there are not many nobles in the Russian Gothic Empire, because at the beginning of the founding, the empire chose a policy of suppressing the aristocracy, so in today's empire, there are almost few old nobles, and even if there are, they are usually only small nobles such as lords and barons. There were none of the nobles above the earl.

Even if there is, it is usually the kind of honorary nobleman who only has a noble annuity and no fief. In the old world would not have recognized it at all.

However, even so, the title of nobility still attracted the Imperial officers.
