Constantiniya, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

"Defend the Holy Land! Expel the Ming Kingdom."

The noisy and angry shouts passed through the high walls of Topkapi Palace and reached the domed hall of the Imperial Parliament.Mahmud II sat on a Turkish sofa, listened for a while, and then looked at his Grand Vizier Kara Pasha.

Grand Vigil stood up, bowed to the Sultan first, and then said in a tone full of grief and indignation: "Your Majesty Sultan, the Ming Empire is actually our enemy for thousands of years! The Ming Empire is based on the legal system passed down from the Tang Empire. We The ancestors of Ottoman Turkey were defeated by the Tang Empire and driven to the west. Since the Ming Empire signed a demarcation treaty with the Raksha Kingdom, they have been keen to support Raksha to attack our country. Whenever there is a war between Raksha and us, The Ming Empire would provide a large amount of weapons and ammunition. If it were not for the support of the Ming Empire, how could we have lost to that daughter-in-law of Catherine II? How could we have lost the fertile land along the Black Sea?

This time, the Ming Empire also provided Rakshasa with a large amount of weapons and equipment, ranging from cannons, artillery shells, airships... to battleships and armored cruisers.If it weren't for the weapons provided by the Ming Empire, we would never have faced the danger of losing Edirne!Now the Ming Empire is brazenly invading the Persian Gulf, and is preparing to support the Sultan of Oman in marching into Baghdad and the Holy Land. If the Sultan of Amman captures Baghdad and the Holy Land, our empire will collapse!

Your Majesty the Sultan, the Ming Empire is our most dangerous enemy!Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to abandon Greece for the time being, and seek peace from England, France, Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Sweden, Holland and Rakshasa! "

Speaking of this, Kara Pasha and the other pashas were already in tears.

Mahmud II also cried, the Ottoman Empire has ruled Greece for hundreds of years!And Greece is next door to Constantiniya, the hinterland of the Ottoman Empire.If the Ottoman Empire can give up Greece, what about Moldavia, Wallachia, Rumelia, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro?Most of the residents on these sites are Christians. If they all give up, even if the Ottoman Empire can retain Constantiniya and Albania, it will lose most of its industries, handicrafts, most of its taxes and at least one-third s 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 Ming has personally ended the game and "defeated the Persian Gulf", even if he will not support the Omani Sultan to enter Baghdad, he will support Ali Pasha to become the ruler of Arabia.
Thinking of this, Sultan Mahmud clenched his fists and murmured: "But our Ottoman Empire has never offended the Ming Empire, never why did they treat us like this?"

"Your Majesty the Sultan," Goff Pasha stood up from a sofa and bowed slightly to Mahmud II. "During the rise of the Ottoman Empire, many countries were destroyed. Could it be that they are all sworn enemies of the Ottoman Empire?" ?"

"Goff Pasha, what do you mean by that?" Mahmud II looked at Hugh Goff angrily.

Hugh Goff said calmly: "What I mean is that countries usually destroy each other not for revenge, but for profit!"

"Benefits? But what is the benefit of destroying the Ottoman Empire to the Ming Empire?" Mahmud didn't know that what he ruled was actually a rich oil empire. Of course, those Zhuge military divisions would not allow most of the world's " Low-cost oil" is all controlled by the Ottoman Empire!

And Ming's unusual "defeat in the Persian Gulf" this time was of course also to win the oil in the Persian Gulf before the official start of the world war.This oil may not be used until the end of the world war, but it may also become the key to victory in the future.Anyway, it is always right to take it down first, so the only one who is wrong is the Ottoman Empire!
I never knew there was oil under my feet. Is there a bigger mistake than this?
Hugh Goff doesn't know that there is oil in the Middle East, but he can still justify himself: "If the Ming Empire and the Rakshasa teamed up to destroy your empire, then there is a high probability that the Balkans and Asia Minor Peninsula will belong to the Rakshasa, and the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa may belong to the Rakshasa. It will become the sphere of influence of the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire may support Ali Pasha of Oman and Egypt to divide Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula equally, and the remaining North African land will be distributed to France, while they themselves firmly control the Suez 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! "

"Then what should I do?" Sultan Mahmud looked at Hugh Goff and asked, "What should I do to save my empire?"

"The Grand Vizier has said it. Now it's time to give up Greece and seek peace with the West!" Hugh Gough said, "Your Majesty the Sultan, I think you know very well that Greece is the price that must be paid to save the empire! Only the Ottoman Empire recognizes Only when Greece becomes independent can the Western countries change their position and support the Ottoman Empire."

Greece is actually the stepping stone for the Ottoman Empire to seek peace. All European Christian countries, including Rakshasa, declared war on the Ottoman Empire in the name of saving Greece.If the Ottoman Empire refused to recognize the independence of Greece, then Rakshasa would have an excuse to continue fighting.However, other Christian countries are hindered by their alliance obligations and cannot make a separate peace with Ottomans before achieving their goals.

Once the Ottoman Empire recognizes the independence of Greece, the Christian countries other than Rakshasa that declared war on Ottomans can step down. The purpose of declaring war is to save Greece. Now that Greece is saved, of course they can withdraw.Luo Sha doesn't want to retreat, so let's fight on his own country!
In addition, Western countries generally do not support Rakshasa's territorial claims to Moldavia, Wallachia, Rumelia, Constantiniya, Asia Minor, and Transcaucasus.

So there is nothing wrong with countries turning to support the Ottoman Empire!
Mahmud II glanced at Grand Vizier again.

Karapasha said: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent! Moreover, the Ming Empire has already posed a threat to the Holy Land after occupying the Persian Gulf. Therefore, it is 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 Kara Pasha heaved a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, your choice is extremely correct!"

Hugh Goff also said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to convey your wise decision to the Duke of Wellington as soon as possible."

Mahmud nodded: "Goff Pasha, now I know who is the true friend of the Ottoman Empire. I sincerely hope that the British Empire can defeat the Ming Empire and become the leading force in the entire world!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Turks are retreating. They are evacuating Adrianople. We have won at last."

When Marshal Peter Wiggenstein excitedly brought the good news into the palace and headquarters of Nicholas I in Stara Zagora, he suddenly found that everyone around the tsar was beaming, as if What they won was not one miserable victory, but the whole war.

Seeing that Marshal Witgenstein was a little dazed, Grand Duke Mikhail explained with a smile: "Marshal, we just got the news that the navy and expeditionary force of the Ming Empire have arrived in Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman. The Chinese expeditionary force has landed, and a part of the naval fleet has also entered the Persian Gulf. Obviously, the Ming Empire has already stood by our side! So we have won, we have won the entire war, and the Eastern Roman Empire will soon be revived !"
