Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1092

[Chapter 1082 Response]

“Selit, this joke is not funny at all.”

Saliman showed a serious expression. He felt that Selit was joking with him.

“Great Sultan, this is no joke. In recent years, the Golden Horde’s harassment of the empire’s borders has gradually disappeared. We thought it was strange at first, but now it seems that this is probably the reason.” Selit said cautiously.

In the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Saliman was equivalent to a king. He was the ruler of the Ottoman Empire and a religious leader. His authority was unique in the Ottoman Empire.

Under the Sultan, the Ottoman Empire also had two Savages and a Privy Councilor. He was one of them, and he was also the person Saliman trusted most.

Saliman frowned when he heard this. He was not familiar with the Great Chongqing Kingdom, but he still remembered the Golden Horde. It was this powerful enemy that continued to encroach on the borders of the Ottoman Empire more than ten years ago, but in recent years this The Khanate came to his ears less and less often.

If Selit’s words were correct, then they finally found the reason for the decline of the Golden Horde.

“It seems that it is good for us that the Chongqing Kingdom becomes stronger. Now we no longer have to worry about the problems on the northeastern border, right?” Saliman said happily, “Moreover, we can also take the opportunity to seize their land.”

and all the people full of Like any ambitious ruler, Saliman was also eager to expand the territory of the Ottoman Empire.

Selit showed an embarrassed look and said: “But the French envoy said that the former Great Chongqing Kingdom has changed its dynasty, and its current name is called the Chinese Empire, and the land left after the demise of the Golden Horde has been occupied by them Occupy, in fact, the Ottoman Empire is now bordering the Chinese Empire.”

Saliman’s excited expression gradually disappeared. In the end, he was overjoyed. Out of the sensitivity of a ruler, he was not interested in any powerful country with adjacent territory. Be extremely wary.

One Tsarist Russia is enough to give him a headache, and now there is obviously another enemy that seems to be more powerful.

“In this case, let’s meet the French envoys. Maybe they can provide good advice. And as you said, Europe is currently at war with this Chinese empire. Maybe we can gain benefits from it. After all, the Ottomans are powerful. The foundation is to serve as a trade channel between the East and the West. “

“Okay, then I will let them in now.” Selit turned around and walked out after a while, followed by two men in black tuxedos. .

“Sultan Saliman, it’s an honor to meet you.” Henry bowed respectfully to Saliman.

Not long after returning to France from Qingzhou, he received a new mission and came to Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

The absurd reason why he was sent here was that he had been to the Chinese Empire and could clearly describe this Eastern Empire to the Ottoman Empire.

But in Henry’s view, this was of no use to this diplomatic operation. What the Ottoman Empire needed was actual benefits.

“Are you the envoy from France?” Saliman’s voice contained a hint of intimidation. In fact, he was now more wary of Europe than the Eastern Empire, because Istanbul was known as the throat of Europe and Central Asia.

During the most glorious period of the Ottoman Empire, the territory of the Ottoman Empire once crossed Istanbul and even included Greece and Venice, but now they have lost all their European territory due to their failure in the European war.

“Exactly, my name is Henry.”

Saliman asked directly: “Selit said you are willing to return the Peloponnese Peninsula to us?”

“With our mediation, this is possible, But this requires Sudan and us to jointly deal with the crisis from the east,” Henry replied. Sometimes diplomatic negotiations are so simple and straightforward, and he doesn’t like to be long-winded.

Saliman showed a sharp look. For three hundred years, the Peloponnese Peninsula where Greece is located has been under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. However, ten years ago, with the support of European countries, Greece launched a war of independence. With the support of European powers, the Greeks obtained a large number of advanced firearms. Although they suppressed this war of independence, the Ottoman Empire, which had backward firearms, eventually lost the war and allowed Greece to get rid of their rule.

However, he believed that as long as European countries stopped intervening in Greece’s war of independence, he would retake Greece. In this way, he could regain the prestige he had lost due to the defeat in the war.

“Crisis from the East?” Saliman rolled his eyes. He felt that an era of both sides was coming again.

With a weird smile on his lips, Saliman said: “Are you talking about the Chinese Empire in the East? It is said that this newly rising Eastern Empire is very powerful, and we don’t want to cause trouble ourselves.”

Henry sneered in his heart, he knew there would be As a result, he said: “If the Sudan can work with us to deal with the expansion of the Eastern Empire, in addition to supporting your country to regain the Peloponnese Peninsula, we will also put pressure on Tsarist Russia to give up their control of Crimea. Asia’s ambitions, the combined size of these two lands is not small.”

This time Saliman was tempted. He cared more about the Black Sea outlet of Crimea than the Peloponnese Peninsula in southern Greece. Tsarist Russia’s ambitions towards Crimea are also based on the Black Sea outlet.

“We will not do stupid things because of your few words. You will not get any response until the Peloponnese Peninsula returns to the territory of the Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia withdraws from Crimea.” Sarri Man said slyly.

Before coming, Henry had received sufficient authorization. He said: “Sultan Saliman, we are sincere. If you agree, please send envoys to Greece, Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Tsarist Russia, and France will send envoys together. Come here, we will sign a specific treaty, and you will get the results you want.”

Saliman raised his eyebrows and said, “This is the most perfect plan. I will send my son to Greece. Participate in the signing of the treaty. If I get what I want, I will definitely let you get what you want.”

“I hope the signing of the treaty will go smoothly.” Henry bowed again and left the palace with Saliman’s permission.

Henry’s figure disappeared, and Saliman said to Selit at this time: “Immediately collect all information about the Chinese Empire. The Europeans are willing to pay such a high price in exchange for our support. They must have encountered a serious crisis. If things don’t go well, We can’t act rashly until we figure it out.”

Sailit responded and turned to leave.
