The first thousand three hundred and ninety-two chapters weaken the Ottoman Empire

Cyprus was originally a small island of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. However, at the Istanbul Peace Conference, the Empire spent 10 million Chinese Yuan to buy the island from the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Although Cyprus was only a few dozen kilometers away from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it would pose a huge threat to the national security of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. However, because the two countries had close relations before, the Chinese Empire directly asked for it. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish Empire agreed to sell the island.

However, when the relations between the two countries deteriorated sharply, the Ottoman Turkish Empire discovered the threat of Cyprus to them. It was impossible to directly attack Cyprus and retake Cyprus, which would give the Chinese Empire an excuse to start a war against them. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish Empire proposed that it could repurchase Cyprus Island, even at a double price. However, the empire was unmoved.

Cyprus Island has now become an important base of the Imperial Navy. In Limassol, in the southern part of Cyprus Island, the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy built a naval base here, which can be anchored with super battleships of more than 30,000 tons. In addition, an airport was built on the island, and the Imperial Navy aviation troops stationed some aircraft here to monitor nearby waters. At the same time, the Imperial Navy's submarine forces also deployed some submarines here. Once the war broke out, these submarines could go directly south from Cyprus Island, threaten the Suez Canal, or go directly westward, enter the Aegean Sea, attack the naval warships of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and threaten the coast of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

The Chinese Empire was far ahead of the German Empire in terms of aircraft, armored vehicles and submarines. However, the intelligence personnel of the omnipresent German Empire have also discovered advanced weapons equipped by the Chinese army. The German Empire is also actively conducting research on these aspects. However, the progress is worse than that of China. The weapons developed are not as good as those equipped by the Chinese Empire.

The negotiation site for this Six-Party Talks was in a hotel in Limassol. A battalion of the Chinese Marine Corps stationed on the island of Cyprus has long been alerted to the entire Limassol.

The person who presided over the Six-Party Talks was the Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan. He took a large Air Force bomber and set off directly from the empire's land to an air force base in Baghdad. After refueling there for maintenance, he flew to Cyprus Island. The entire itinerary took only two days, which was much faster than taking a warship or cruise ship. Of course, because the safety of the aircraft is not guaranteed now. The Imperial Emperor Long Yufei prohibited the ministers from taking planes. The situation this time was special, so Wei Yuan was asked to take a plane to Cyprus Island.

The representative sent by the Kingdom of Afghanistan was Prime Minister Ahmed Desno, and the representative of Egypt was Azam, who was an Egyptian government official. Once Egypt became independent and established, he would become the prime minister of the Kingdom of Egypt. The representative sent by the Kingdom of Neizhi was Fasir, the son of Fassar, and the crown prince of the Kingdom of Neizhi. The representative sent by the Ottoman Turkish Empire was Mustafa Rest Pasha, who was responsible for diplomacy, and the representative sent by the German Empire was Earl of Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron.

The farthest imperial representatives arrived at Cyprus Island first. The representatives of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, Egypt and Neizhi Kingdom both arrived at Cyprus Island by Imperial Navy warship. The representatives of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were closest, but Mustafa Rest Pasha waited in Istanbul after Count Albrech von Ron who came by train. Then they arrived on Ottoman Turkish Navy warships. Therefore, they finally arrived.

A railway has been built between Berlin, the capital of the German Empire, and Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which crosses central Europe and the Balkans. Originally, the Germans planned to build the railway to Baghdad. However, the empire did not agree. Iraq and the Persian Gulf are the most important energy centers of the empire. In order to ensure the security here, the empire will naturally not agree to the completion of this railway. Unless the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the German Empire were both defeated by the empire in the war and no longer pose a threat to the empire. The empire will build such a railway.

On October 5, after representatives from the Kingdom of Afghanistan, Egypt and Neizhi arrived in Limassol, they were immediately taken to the hotel by staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Wei Yuan had already been waiting for them there. Before the formal talks began, Wei Yuan had to hold a meeting with them to determine their common interests, and then negotiate with the Ottoman Turkish Empire on this condition.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you all on your victory in the war. No matter what, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was a powerful country. However, now they have been defeated by you and have to hold peace talks. There is no doubt that this is a great victory!" Wei Yuan smiled. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was severely weakened, which was exactly what the Empire wanted to see, and it was also a plan specially implemented by the Empire. A weakened Ottoman Turkish Empire will no longer pose a threat to the Empire. Even if the Ottoman Turkish Empire turns to the Holy Alliance, it will not play a big role. At least, the security of the empire's oil fields in the Persian Gulf has been guaranteed.

"Thanks to the Foreign Minister, this is because of the support of the Chinese Empire that we were able to achieve such a brilliant victory!" Ahmed Desno, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, said first. If the Chinese Empire did not serve as a backing, how dare they challenge the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

Azam and Crown Prince Fasir also said it was one after another. However, they were both very happy. The defeat of the Ottoman Turkish Empire forced the Ottoman Turkish Empire to request peace talks, which meant a great victory for them and also meant that they would gain great gains.

"Now, representatives of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Germany are on their way to Cyprus Island. After they arrive, the talks will officially begin. However, before that, I need to know, what do you want?" Wei Yuan asked.

"His Excellency Foreign Minister, we need the territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and war reparations!" Crown Prince Fasir said first. The Neizhi Kingdom was not strong at the beginning and was poor. Although they only dispatched tens of thousands of troops this time, that was their limit. The war consumed a lot of money. If it weren't for the assistance of the Chinese Empire, they would have been unable to support it.

Wei Yuan nodded: "Tell me the requirements of the Neizhi Kingdom!"

"The Neizhi Kingdom needs to gain rule over the entire Arabian Peninsula, and our northern territorial border should advance to the Jordan River! In addition, the war reparations of the Ottoman Turkish Empire must not be less than 20 million Chinese Yuan." Crown Prince Fasir said. He believed that such requirements were no longer low.

Wei Yuan nodded and looked at Azam.

"Where is Egypt? What are your requirements?"

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, first of all, the Ottoman Turkish Empire must clearly give up its rule over Egypt and allow Egypt to establish its own country. In addition, Egypt's territory needs to be expanded, and the entire Palestinian region should belong to Egypt. In addition, the Ottoman Turkish Empire must compensate Egypt for 50 million Chinese Yuan of war reparations!" Azam said. If they can get 50 million Chinese Yuan of war reparations, they can pay it back in one go. Egypt will also have enough funds to develop itself.

"Where is the Kingdom of Afghanistan?"

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Kingdom of Afghanistan hopes to obtain land in the southern Caucasus and the eastern Asia Minor Peninsula. In addition, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will compensate us 100 million Chinese yuan in war reparations!" said Ahmed Desno, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Compared with Egypt and the Kingdom of Neizhi, the Kingdom of Afghanistan is undoubtedly much more greedy.

"I know your request. To be honest, your request is actually not high. I think the Ottoman Turkish Empire should not refuse. Of course, they have no way to refuse. Otherwise, if the war continues, they will pay a greater price." Wei Yuan said. This is an opportunity to weaken the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Chinese Empire will certainly not miss this opportunity. Although the Chinese Empire will not get any benefits in this talk. However, a person has suffered

The severely weakened Ottoman Turkish Empire is the greatest benefit to the Chinese Empire. What's more, the Kingdom of Afghanistan, Egypt and Neizhi Kingdom will all become the partners of the Empire. Their strength is also very beneficial to the Empire. Perhaps, in the next war, the Empire will not have to invest much army to deal with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. If these friends directly take action, the Empire will be able to destroy the Ottoman Turkish Empire. In this way, the Empire will save a lot of effort.

When Wei Yuan said this, the faces of several people were filled with joy. This means that the request they made is likely to become a reality. They will gain huge gains in this talk.

"The empire hopes that in this talk, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will hand over half of the eastern part of the Asia Minor Peninsula. That is to say, in addition to the western part of the Asia Minor Peninsula, the Ottoman Turkish Empire no longer owns Asian territory. These territories are shared by you three countries. In addition, the total amount of war reparations is 300 million Chinese yuan, which is also shared by you three countries. If the Ottoman Turkish Empire disagrees, those prisoners of war will be your bargaining chips. In addition, you can continue to launch an attack!" Wei Yuan continued.
