Berlin, the capital of the German Empire. Berlin has now become the center of Europe. After unremitting efforts, the Germans finally became the dominant of Europe. The former British, French and Russians have all crawled at their feet. Of course, if Germany is willing to be the overlord of Europe, they may be able to continue to be glorious. However, because of their ambitions, they have embarked on a road of no return. In order to compete for world hegemony, Germany's national strength has been invested in war preparations, and has become warships sailing on the sea, or rifles and cannons in the hands of soldiers.

The Germans' goal was not only to dominate Europe, but also to dominate the entire world. Therefore, they were desperate to take a bet and prepared to fight the Chinese Empire in a decisive battle that concerns the fate of the two countries. The winners will gain the entire world. The losers will lose all glory. For this reason, the German Empire led the establishment of the Holy Alliance. However, the peace alliance dominated by the Chinese Empire seemed to be more powerful than the Holy Alliance.

The Holy Alliance also hopes to attract more countries to join the alliance and strengthen their strength. For this reason, the Germans set their targets for the Nordic countries. The Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Norway and the Kingdom of Sweden have become the targets of the Germans. However, these Nordic countries seem unwilling to be involved in the world war, and they do not accept Germany's win. This makes the Germans very annoyed. Once their patience is exhausted, they will probably use the most direct means.

In addition, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was also the object that the Germans tried hard to win over. The Ottoman Turkish Empire neither participated in the Holy Alliance nor the Peace Alliance. This was undoubtedly an opportunity. What's more, because of the Persian Gulf issue, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was almost impossible to get together with the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was very likely to join the Holy Alliance. As long as they seize the opportunity, they could get what they wished. Now, the opportunity has finally come.

"Your Majesty, the Ottoman Turkish Empire hopes to get our support. The Chinese are supporting Egypt and Arabs against the rule of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The Ottoman Turkish Empire is about to launch a suppression. However, they are worried that the Chinese will intervene directly." German Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron reported to William I. The turbulent situation in the Middle East is a crisis for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. But for the Germans, it is an opportunity, which will lead the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire to a more intense confrontation. As long as the Ottoman Turkish Empire does not want to perish, they can only rely on the German Empire. As long as the Ottoman Turkish Empire joins the Holy Alliance, then they will be able to master this strategic location. The power of the Holy Alliance will also be greatly improved.

"It seems that the Chinese are really ready to attack the Ottoman Turkish Empire. It is impossible for the Ottoman Turkish Empire to be a fence-bearer. Neither we nor the Chinese will tolerate them doing this. However, it seems that the Chinese have lost their patience first!" William I said proudly, as if he had already gained the upper hand in this battle.

In fact, the Chinese Empire chose to take action against the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which left only one way left to go. That is to turn to the German Empire and join the Holy Alliance. Otherwise, they might be destroyed.

"Yes, your majesty, this is a great opportunity for the German Empire. We can use this to win over the Ottoman Turkish Empire. However, if the Chinese Empire did not directly send troops to fight the Ottoman Turkish Empire, we would better not get involved. Our war preparations have not been completed. If a war breaks out now, it will be very unfavorable for us!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said.

William I nodded. Germany is now preparing for war. Especially the navy. Almost every month, new warships are launched, which makes the German Navy's strength grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the first half of this year, four German-class battleships of the German Navy have been put into service, and in the second half of the year, four Nassau-class battleships will be put into service. By next year, four Helgolan-class battleships equipped with 381mm main guns will also be put into service. The next year, there will be four Caesar-class battleships equipped with 381mm main guns. As the construction cost of battleships becomes higher and higher, Germany is also unable to support it. Originally, they built eight battleships every year, but now they have reduced to four. However, even so, the German Navy's shipbuilding speed is still very fast.

Of course, compared with the Chinese Empire, this is nothing. The Chinese Empire has always adhered to the fact that Germany has built a battleship, and the Chinese Empire has built two battleships. Moreover, each new battleship is not inferior to the German Navy's battleships. This makes the Chinese Empire's navy firmly have an advantage. It is very difficult for the German Navy to fight against the Chinese Navy.

"The Chinese should not intervene directly. After all, this means that the war is outbreak in full swing. The empire is not prepared, and the Chinese will definitely not be prepared either. As long as the Chinese do not intervene, with the ability of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, there should be no problem in defeating Egypt and other reversals!" said Earl Moltke, chief of staff of the German army. Indeed, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is also a world-wide power. If even the rebellion of weak forces such as Egypt cannot be suppressed, then are they worthy of becoming a world-wide power? Germany does not need to try its best to win over them! Therefore, Earl Moltke is still optimistic about the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"Well, then do it like this! Tell the Ottoman Turkish Empire, we will clearly express our support for them. If the Chinese Empire tries to use force against the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the German Empire will not sit idly by." William I said. This is a clear statement that the German Empire will stand behind the Ottoman Turkish Empire. As long as the Chinese Empire does not intervene directly, the German Empire will not intervene directly. On the contrary, the German Empire will directly send troops to join the war. At that time, the world war will also break out.

"Yes, your majesty!" Count Albrech von Ron nodded.

"Your Majesty, we may be able to send a naval fleet to visit the Ottoman Turkish Empire. On the one hand, we will be brave enough for the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and on the other hand, we will also train the imperial navy's ocean-going capabilities. In the future, the Mediterranean will also become the battlefield for the imperial navy!" said Prince Felix, Minister of the Navy.

"Yes. But don't over-stimulate the Chinese!" said William I. At this stage, Germany does not want to go to war with the Chinese Empire immediately.

"Yes, your Majesty!" Prince Felix replied.

In early July 1861, the Ottoman Turkish Empire had completed its preparations for sending troops. Sultan Abdul Maijid I convened the last imperial meeting before sending troops.

"Are our army and navy ready?" Abdul Maijid I asked directly.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy have completed their war preparations and can set off at any time! The General Staff recommends that the army and the navy advance together to attack Egypt and destroy Egypt in one fell swoop!" said Foad Pasha.

"Yeah!" Abdul Maijid I nodded. He didn't care how the army fought this battle, he wanted the result. As long as the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire could destroy Egypt, that would be enough.

"What about diplomacy?" Abdul Maijid I continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, the embassy of the Empire in the Chinese Empire protested to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, the Chinese denied that the Egyptian rebellion was planned by them. They claimed that their sale of weapons to Egypt was just a normal trade act. At the same time, the Chinese hoped that we could maintain restraint and resolve the dispute in a peaceful manner!" said Mustafa Lester Pasha.

"Hmph! Shameless Chinese." Abdul Maijid I cursed angrily.

"Where are the Germans? How did they express their opinions?"

"The Germans promised to support us. If the Chinese Empire intervened directly, they would directly send troops to support us. However, the German Empire hoped that we would consider it again and join the Holy Alliance!" Mustafa Rest Pasha continued.

"Thanks to the Germans for their support, but we need to carefully consider whether to join the Holy Alliance." Abdul Maijid I shook his head. He did not want to join the Holy Alliance now. Even if he wanted to join, he had to wait until this rebellion was quelled.

"In addition, the Germans proposed that they would send a naval fleet to the Ottoman Turkish Empire for a visit!"

"Tell the Germans that the Ottoman Turkish Empire welcomed their navy to visit!" said Abdul Maijid I. He knew that this was the Germans using this to express their support for the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

On July 10, the Ottoman Turkish Empire issued an ultimatum to Egypt, demanding that Ismail go to Istanbul to apologize for the Sudan's forgiveness. Otherwise, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's army would flatten Egypt.

Ismail naturally knew that those who went to Istanbul would be dead for a lifetime. Therefore, he directly rejected the request of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

On July 12, the Ottoman Turkish Empire announced that it would send troops to Egypt to suppress Egypt's rebellion. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
