Chapter 1318 Depressed Germans

On August 7, 1857, after three days of fierce fighting, the Afghan Army captured Tehran, and the capital of the Persian Kingdom, which was defended by 200,000 Persian Army, fell within three days. Moreover, the Afghan Army paid very little, and felt that other Persian Army surrendered to the Afghan Army without firing a shot.

Although Nasser Ding Shah, Prime Minister Mirza and others fled the Persian Kingdom, the Persian Kingdom was still destroyed. King Akbar Khan of Afghanistan announced in Tehran that the Afghan Kingdom annexed the Persian Kingdom and the original administrative divisions of the Persian Kingdom remained unchanged. However, all officials need to be appointed by the Afghan Kingdom.

However, it is not so easy for the Afghan Kingdom to annex the Persian Kingdom. Although the Persian Army was defeated, there were still many people who insisted on resisting. Especially the tribal armed forces from all over the country, they were unwilling to do so. In order to ensure the stability of the Persian Kingdom, the Afghan Kingdom had to deploy heavy troops in the Persian Kingdom. The Afghan Army had more than 100,000 troops deployed in the Persian Kingdom all year round. These troops were often attacked by Persians. The Afghan Army's clearance of the Persian resistance elements has never ended. Many Persians were killed by the Afghan army, which made the two countries' hatred deeper and deeper.

It is precisely because of this situation that Afghan King Akbar Khan fortunately gave up his plan to run the Persian Kingdom and directly plundered the Persian Kingdom as a colony. He plundered various agricultural and pastoral products and various ores from the Persian Kingdom, making the Afghan Kingdom become stronger and stronger by absorbing the blood of the Persian Kingdom. The Persian Kingdom became increasingly barren.

Coupled with the troubles of the Persian government in exile in Germany, the Persian resistance became increasingly fierce. Of course, the military strength of the Afghan Kingdom was much stronger than that of the Persians, and they could only cause a little trouble to the Afghans. It was almost impossible to completely drive away the Persians. Especially when the Afghans were supported by the Chinese Empire.

In order to destroy the Persian Kingdom, the Afghan Kingdom paid a lot of money. The casualties were as many as 50,000 troops, and countless war materials were consumed. Therefore, after the destruction of the Persian Kingdom, the Afghan Kingdom immediately signed an agreement with the Chinese Empire, ceding the Huzistan province of the original Persian Kingdom to the Chinese Empire and incorporating it into the Iraqi province of the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Empire's rule in Huzistein Province was much more stable. The Persians were forcibly migrated to Iraq and other places, and then migrated some people from the country to fill the Huzistein Province. The geographical conditions here were pretty good, and the people of the empire could live and work in peace after they came. In addition, the Ministry of Energy of the empire also invested a lot of manpower and force to find oil in Huzistein Province based on the development of the Germans. In the northeast of Avas, the Germans had already found an oil field, but because the Chinese Empire and Germany signed an agreement, the Germans had to evacuate. The empire only needed a small amount of investment to develop the oil field.

The Avas Oilfield is a super oil field, and its oil reserves are not smaller than that of the Bugege Oilfield. The oil reserves here are expected to be at least 1.5 billion tons. On the one hand, the Empire keeps the reserves of the Avas Oilfield confidential, and on the other hand, it is preparing to start exploiting the oil here. The Empire has decided that the Bugege Oilfield and the Avas Oilfield are mainly exploited in the Persian Gulf region. The output of these two oil fields alone is enough for the Empire and the whole world to consume oil. For the oil fields in the Persian Gulf and other regions of the Middle East, it can be explored first, but it will not be exploited. After all, the demand for oil is not very large now. Producing too much oil will lead to further reduction in prices. This is not conducive to the development of the oil industry.

Although the Chinese Empire tried every means to keep the secret of the Avas Oilfield. But two months later, the reserves of this oilfield were leaked. The Chinese Empire once again discovered a super oilfield in the Persian Gulf, Bugege Oilfield, with a reserve of more than 1.5 billion tons, which undoubtedly detonated the whole world. The value of this oilfield alone is now more than 3 billion Huayuan! As oil prices continue to rise, the value of this oilfield will become higher and higher.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire has red eyes. The oil reserves in the Persian Gulf region have completely exceeded their expectations! If these territories were all Ottoman Turkish Empire, then they could develop into a world power with the oil alone! Although Huzistan Province does not belong to the territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, with the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it is not a problem to take Huzistan from the hands of the Persian Kingdom. Now, Huzistan Province has become the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire can only leave only regrets. After all, the Ottoman Turkish Empire has not yet dared to attack the territory of the Chinese Empire, so it is basically a search for death.

The Germans were even more depressed. They proposed to develop the oil from Huzistan Province first. Moreover, after several months of hard work, they had found the Avas oil field. However, they had not had time to calculate the reserves of this oil field. But now, all of this has become the Chinese and has nothing to do with Germany. This made Germany very angry, and some even asked to directly seek the Avas oil field from the Chinese Empire. After all, according to the agreement signed by Germany and the Persian Kingdom, they would jointly develop the oil field in Huzistan Province, and both sides each occupied half of the shares. Even if the Persian Kingdom perished and the Afghan Kingdom annexed the Persian Kingdom, they should abide by this agreement.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, they snatched the oil field belonging to the German Empire, a super oil field with a reserve of more than 1.5 billion tons. The oil there has been enough for the German Empire to use for hundreds of years! But now, nothing is left. It has been taken away by those yellow-skinned monkeys with conspiracy!" Crown Prince Frederick William roared angrily. He first proposed the search for oil in Huzistein Province. If Germany can use this to ask for the oil crisis, he will undoubtedly be a great contributor, and his influence and status in Germany will also rise to a very high level. William I is no longer young, and he may one day be thrown into the arms of God. If he can have a lofty prestige, his power after he ascends to the throne will also increase greatly. But now, everything is over.

Germany is a monarchy, but the emperor's power is not as supreme as the Chinese Empire. The German emperor's power is subject to the constraints of parliament and nobles at the same time. Of course, if His Majesty's personal charm and influence are high enough, he can also be able to do everything he wants. However, it is impossible for Frederick William to gain the same influence as William I. After all, William I led the Kingdom of Prussia, completed the unification of the German Empire, and made the German Empire a powerful empire second only to the Chinese Empire. This is undoubtedly an unprecedented achievement in Germany's history.

If Frederick William could help the Chinese Empire obtain a super oil field, it might have allowed the parliamentarians and nobles to look at him differently. But now, everything is over.

The German Emperor William I looked very ugly. Although Germany and the Chinese Empire signed an agreement to buy oil from the Chinese Empire at a low price to support the development of Germany's industrial development. But now it seems that the agreement they signed with the Chinese Empire is nothing compared to the super oilfield of Avas. It can even be said that if the Avas oilfield is in the hands of Germany, they will be able to have an inexhaustible oilfield.

Everyone was stimulated by the huge interests represented by the Avas Oilfield. This place originally belonged to Germany, but they were unable to seize the opportunity, so it was so empty.

"Your Majesty, Huzistan Province has become the territory of the Chinese. Although the Persians do not recognize this agreement, it cannot be changed." Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said. Although he was a little regretful, he knew that the result could not be changed. Unless Germany is confident that it could defeat the Chinese Empire, it may be able to tear down the agreement signed with the Chinese Empire. But does Germany have this ability?

"Damn it! This must be the Chinese who have been planning for a long time. They know that Huzistan Province has super oil fields, so they try every means to stop us." Earl Moltke, chief of staff of the German army, said angrily. He is promoting trucks to replace mules and horses within the German army, and even using trucks to transport infantry, so that infantry no longer use their legs to rush on the road. This can make the German army's mobility stronger. However, trucks can be made in Germany, but oil needs to be imported outward. Now, the Avas oil field has fallen into the hands of the Chinese, which is equivalent to calling Germany's lifeline to the hands of the Chinese!

"Your Majesty, it's useless to say these. Although we failed this time, we cannot give up looking for oil. Our goal needs to be transferred from the Persian Gulf to other places. The Chinese are too powerful in the Persian Gulf, and we cannot fight against them at all!" said Prince Felix, the Minister of Navy.

William I nodded and said, "Everyone, the Germans would not admit defeat so easily. The Chinese can suppress us once or twice with despicable means, but we are indomitable, and the final victory will definitely belong to us. As long as we work hard to become stronger, we will definitely have the ability to defeat the Chinese in the future and get back the humiliation we have suffered thousands of times!"
