The Rise of the Empire

"They shouldn't give in at this time. Think about it, what would I do if I were the prince?" Wells said to himself. "First of all, I will deal with the disobedient Italy and France among the allies. I will take advantage of Russia's opportunity to fight in the Far East and beat France hard. It is even possible to take a war to solve all the problems in Europe. Then I will also encourage Austria-Hungary to take action in the Balkans."\u003c/p\u003e"Because the prince is the prospective son-in-law of the Austria-Hungary Empire, they and the Habsburg family are regarded as the most reliable foreign aid between each other, whether it is blood or Practical benefits. The strength of Austria-Hungary is beneficial to him and to Germany, and this time he did nothing." Wells said. \u003c/p\u003eBefore Wells finished speaking, Fisher felt something was wrong! Because Wells just said "he didn't do anything" instead of "he didn't say anything!" The meaning has changed! If it's the latter, it's normal. After all, everyone talks about scenes when they meet, and there are too many times when they say one thing and do another. But if it is the former, it will be different, because Germany is really honest during this time! \u003c/p\u003eWhy is the Mediterranean Fleet one of the best fleets in the British Empire? Because there are a lot of local snakes in the Mediterranean Sea, fish and dragons are mixed together, the British Empire must work hard if it wants to shake the scene. They are the long swords of the British Empire to shock the Mediterranean countries, and the cornerstone at the crossroads of the world! Those who can serve here must at least be given to politicians! And both Fisher and his assistant Wells are paying attention to the changes after the Germans came to the Mediterranean! What they see and think will become the cornerstone of the future decision-making of the empire! \u003c/p\u003e "It's too early to be honest. The Italians have no bones. A little threat may make them succumb. Maybe Italy has been frightened before the Germans act? The French thing is not unusual. Both France and Germany believe that there is no need to gamble on the fate of the country for the Portuguese colony. Germany’s advantage, France’s disadvantage, and the French’s submission are also understandable.”\u003c/p\u003e“But in Russia, attention was shifted to the Far East, and in Austria-Hungary With all the growth in strength, why didn't they take the opportunity to attack the Balkans? They didn't do anything openly or secretly, which can only explain one problem!" Fisher put down the teacup in his hand. "They were warned by the Germans! It must be like this!"\u003c/p\u003e "Isn't this good? Enough for us to solve all kinds of troubles and then focus on Europe. Prime Minister Salisbury is also like this point of view." Wells said with some curiosity. \u003c/p\u003e"This is a threat. The Germans use all the cards in their hands to make a deal with us, a deal that will not be on the table, and will not even leave a written record! But they are not afraid of us going back on our word."\u003c/p \u003e"Why?"\u003c/p\u003e"The Germans can support Russia and allow Russia to gain a warm water port. Thereby breaking through our blockade. You can choose to support the Boers and multiply our already high and terrible war costs several times, you can Instigated the Austro-Hungarian Empire to do something in the Balkans, which made the already exhausted British Empire even more exhausted. What the Germans did did not require much effort, but it could greatly increase our costs. If you were the prime minister, would you regret it? ?” Fisher asked. \u003c/p\u003e"Then this offer must be very high, so high that we don't want to accept it now. What kind of offer will it be?" Wells asked. \u003c/p\u003e "I think it should be the 3b railway! The railway from Berlin to Byzantium to Baghdad!" Fisher thought for a while and said. \u003c/p\u003e"This condition is a bit too high...too high..." Wells stammered while wiping his cold sweat. "The power of the Germans will extend to the Persian Gulf,

And get rich fuel resources in Mesopotamia, as well as raw materials and markets in Turkey. It is even possible to tie this old enemy country to the German tanks! "\u003c/p\u003e"This is just speculation, but we have to be prepared. When Fisher spoke, he lacked confidence.\u003c/p\u003e "If the Germans proposed the 3b railway at this time, would we agree? Wells asked.\u003c/p\u003e "I don't know. This is not our business! "Fischer said with some confusion.\u003c/p\u003e At this time, the prince was also considering his next move. Fisher guessed a large part of it right, but he somewhat underestimated the appetite of the Germans. What is the use of a 3b railway? How can it change the tragic situation of the Allies? For the prince, a stronger Turkey that listens to the Germans is the most suitable for Germany!\u003c/p\u003eAlthough there is only Turkey left in this era I went down to Asia Minor (now the territory of Turkey), Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and other places in later generations. By the way, there is also Libya. The military power is also powerless when facing the Balkan countries in history. But it is undeniable The most important thing is that Germany needs all kinds of materials produced in Turkey, as well as a large amount of cannon fodder! And its geographical location is even more indispensable.\u003c/p\u003eSo, if you want the battle line to end cleanly, Consume the opponent as much as possible, then Turkey must be transformed according to the purpose of the Germans! The current Turkish Sultan Abdul Hamid II is not a suitable partner, although he agreed to thank Germany for their support The construction of the 3b railway, although he popularized basic education, reorganized the Ministry of Justice, and developed the railway business and telecommunications, he could not take on the responsibility of being a more powerful ally after all. He could not guarantee domestic rule, and such a ruler naturally It needs to be eliminated!\u003c/p\u003eHistorically, he was overthrown by the Young Turk Party, but such a political party representing the interests of the bourgeoisie and liberal landlords is also not a reliable group. First of all, the group itself has various hilltops , their ideals may be lofty - all people in Turkey, regardless of religion or nationality, are completely equal, and to ensure the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire, but unfortunately, in the face of raging national independence movements everywhere, this The ideal quickly transformed into the use of great Ottomanism and military power to ensure the survival of the empire.\u003c/p\u003eThe Germans do not need to help Turkey restore its former glory, but at least on the surface it is necessary to reduce internal friction, enhance trust and cohesion, and improve Turkey's industry And the situation of national strength, to share more pressure for Germany, and in order to achieve this goal, the prince needs a good agent, this person is not the Sudan, nor is it the three giants of Turkey after 1913, and of course it is not the later Turkish founding father Kay Moer, because the latter is now an 18-year-old boy who is studying in a military academy....\u003c/p\u003e The second one is here~~~!
