Ottoman Empire, Constantiniyah.

Constantiniyah was the official name for Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire, and they also called the city Istanbul.This city located at a meeting point of the Eurasian continent not only has a strong sense of presence in the history of European Christian civilization, but also the glory of the Ottoman-Turkish Empire.For the Raksha Orthodox civilization, a secondary civilization of European Christian civilization, Constantinople is their spiritual totem.As if only by capturing the city could they prove themselves the heirs of the Roman Empire.

Of course, as far as Rakshasa is concerned, Constantinople is still the most ideal seaport and the capital of the empire.Compared with Constantinople, which controls the main throat of the Black Sea into the Mediterranean Sea, the conditions in Petersburg, the current capital of the Raksha Empire, are simply too harsh.The port will be frozen for five months of the year due to the cold climate. Who can imagine what kind of shipping center the port will become if it is frozen for five months a year?Therefore, in the history of the Rakshasa Empire and later the Soviet Union, their most important commercial port in the Baltic Sea has always been the Gulf of Riga, which has been frozen for a relatively short period of time.

But the Gulf of Riga compared to Constantinople is simply too bad!This is not only because the sea in the Gulf of Riga is full of ice floes every winter, and the coastal waters will also freeze, and merchant ships must be guided by icebreakers to enter and exit, but also because the Baltic Sea coast of Rakshasa itself is a piece of bad land.Not to mention the cold weather, and the products and resources are not rich, so it is only a matter of reluctance to develop large-scale industries there, not to mention that Mao Xiong is not a particularly capable industry, even if it is the Germans and Anglo-Saxons. , It is also difficult to do anything famous.

In contrast, the conditions for the development of industrialization in the Black Sea coast and Transcaucasus area that Maoxiong snatched from the Crimean Khanate, the Turkish Empire, and the Persian Empire are great-coal, oil, iron ore, black land , a warm coastline, and an inland waterway with strong navigability, it really has everything that one expects to find!

The only thing that is "not as good as Xiongyi" is that the best export channel for the products produced by taking advantage of all the above-mentioned favorable conditions is to enter the Mediterranean Sea through the sea route guarded by Constantinople.The second-class product export route is to take the Danube River, which is also controlled by the Ottoman Empire, to Central and Western Europe.

That is to say, as long as the Sudan is angry, Maoxiong's best industrial, agricultural and mining base will basically say goodbye to the world market.

And the Ottoman-Turkish Empire happens to be Mao Xiong's feud. Whoever wants to invest in the Black Sea coast of Rakshasa and the Transcaucasus must consider the relationship between Rakshasa and Turkey. Half yellow!
Therefore, the relationship between the two empires, Rakshasa and Turkey, is currently a multiple-choice question between life and death and death together. It is impossible to work together to win.

Of course, Ottoman, Mahmud II, the famous ruler of the Turkish Empire, is fully aware of this!

The biggest difficulty he has to overcome in the various reforms he is implementing now, trying to pull the outdated Ottoman-Turkish Empire into the industrial age, is the aggressive bear in the north.

Because on the land of the Ottoman-Turkish Empire, some industrialized sites can be established, and now it seems that they are Egypt, Asia Minor, and the Balkans.Among them, Egypt can only engage in a little textile industry. There is a relatively large population there, and Egyptian cotton is particularly good. Both Great Britain and Ming Dynasty like it, and they also control the Suez Canal.But heavy industry cannot be carried out there, and there are no such resources.Unfortunately, the sites that can develop heavy industry are all prepared to be "liberated" by the Maozi family!

Even if Mao Xiong won't take all of them, once the "Bears" take Konstantiniya, all of them will be wiped out in the Balkans, and half of Asia Minor's surname may be Romanov.

At that time, even if the Ottoman-Turkish Empire survives, and goes to Baghdad or Damascus to linger on, guarding the sands of the Arabian Peninsula, can this day survive?Is it possible to dig out treasures under the sand?
Looking at the "yellow" territory in the Arabian Peninsula, His Majesty the Sultan could only let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, as long as you act according to the Duke of Wellington's plan and arrange the 'English Bagua Formation' from Adrianople to Constantinier, we will be able to defend Constantinier and Rumilly. Alberta."

"That's right, Your Majesty the Sultan, Grand Vigil and I have checked the demonstration 'English Bagua Formation' outside the city of Constantiniya, which consists of eight trenches, eight barbed wire fences, eight trenches, eight traffic trenches, and eight rear A multi-level and wide-depth defense system composed of assembly positions, eight artillery positions, eight simple roads and eight core fortresses!"

Reporting to His Majesty the Sultan in the Sultan's office in the parliamentary chamber of the Topkapi Palace, are two middle-aged Turkish men wearing Western-style military uniforms, little red hats, and big beards. people.They are not ordinary Turks, but two executives who are deeply trusted by the sultan. One of the older ones is Kara Pasha, the grand vigilante of the Ottoman Empire, and the younger one is the leader of the new Ottoman army. Commander Hussein Pasha.

And what they call the "England Eight Diagrams Array" is the "Eight Diagrams Machine Gun Array" improved by Wellington and Hugh Gough. It is the defensive position composed of trenches, barbed wire, and machine guns.

There is nothing high-tech about this thing. For famous players like Wellington and Hugh Gough, it is "sufficient if you get beaten up"-you don't know how good you are if you don't get hit, and you only know the "Bagua Formation" after you get hit. If you know how powerful you are, you will naturally have to "learn from Jin's skills to beat bears".

But what a treacherous master is the Duke of Wellington?He is the number one general in England who has been fighting Nahuang for many years. Of course, he knows that to beat the bear, it is not enough to rely on one gossip formation. The increasing number of casualties rushed forward——Mao Xiong had to break through a few gossip formations, so that they felt that they could rely on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood to press them all the way through.

In addition, the gossip array must be placed at the gate of Constantinier.First, the terrain between Constantinier and Adrianople is relatively narrow, which is not conducive to the bear army's detour. Well, it is basically impossible to detour; second, victory is in sight!From Moldavia all the way to the gate of Constantinier, why not try harder?
If you work hard, the will of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great may be realized, and the rise of the Rakshasa Empire will also be realized.According to the tradition of Mao Xiong, Nicholas I who won Constantinople will be handy in everything he does after that!

What about the abolition of serfdom, what about the development of industry and commerce, what about learning from the West and the Ming Dynasty, in short, the tsar who won the victory was right!
Therefore, the tsar who came to Konstantiniya would probably make a big gamble on everything.

If you win, you get everything!
However, if Mahmud II of the Ottoman-Turkish Empire wins, he cannot get everything, and he will even lose Moldavia, Wallachia, Greece and Serbia.

So now Kara Pasha can only promise him to keep Rumelia. That is to say, Bulgaria and the area around Istanbul belong to the province of Rumelia.

"Only Rumelia?" The ambitious Sultan looked up at his confidant, Kara Pasha.

Kara Pasha showed a painful expression, nodded lightly and said: "General Hugh Goff can guarantee only Rumelia, but he can also guarantee to support us when we start a struggle with Ali Pasha. Your Majesty, we must first fight against the outside world." Anne, as long as we can defend Rumelia, repel the Rakshas, ​​and eliminate Ali Pasha, the country can still have a bright future!"
