The Rise of the Empire

"They shouldn't give in at this time, think about it, if I were the prince, what would I do?" Wells said to himself. "First of all, I have to clean up the disobedient Italy and France among the Allies. I will take advantage of the opportunity of Russia to fight in the Far East and beat France. It is even possible to adopt a war to solve all problems in Europe. I will also encourage Austria-Hungary to take action in the Balkans."

"Because the prince is the son-in-law of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they and the Habsburg family are considered the most trustworthy foreign aid between each other, whether it is blood or actual interests. The strength of Austro-Hungary is beneficial to him and to Germany. Ah, and he didn't do anything this time," Wells said.

Before Wells's voice was over, Fisher felt something was wrong! Because what Wells just said was "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. But if it is the former, it is different, because Germany is really honest during this time!

Why is the Mediterranean Fleet one of the best in the British Empire? Because there are a lot of snakes in the Mediterranean and a mixture of fish and dragons, the British Empire must make great efforts if it wants to shake the ground. They are the long swords of the British Empire to frighten the Mediterranean countries and the cornerstones at the crossroads of the world! Those who can serve here must at least be for politicians! Both Fisher and his assistant Wells are watching the changes after the Germans came to the Mediterranean! What they see and think will become the cornerstone of the empire's future decisions!

"It's too early to be honest. The Italians have no bones. A little threat may be able to make them succumb. Maybe before the Germans act, Italy has been frightened out of their courage? Things in France are not uncommon, whether it is France or Germany believes that there is no need to gamble on national luck for the Portuguese colony. Germany's advantages, France's disadvantages, and the French's submission are understandable."

"But with Russia's attention to the Far East, and with all the strength of Austria-Hungary growing, why didn't they take the opportunity to take action against the Balkans? No action was done either overtly or secretly. This can only show one problem!" Fisher put down his hands. Tea cup. "They were warned by the Germans! It must be so!"

"Isn't this very good? It is enough for us to solve all kinds of troubles, and then focus our energy on Europe. Prime Minister Salisbury also has this view." Wells said curiously.

"This is a threat. The Germans come to make a deal with us with all the cards in their hands, a deal that can't be on the table, or even a written record! But they are not afraid that we will regret it."

"why?"

"The Germans can support Russia and allow Russia to obtain a warm water port. This breaks through our blockade. You can choose to support the Boers, so that our already high and terrible war cost will be increased several times, and you can encourage the Austro-Hungarian Empire to take action in the Balkans. The British Empire, which was already exhausted, was even more exhausted. Everything the Germans did took little effort, but it could increase our costs. If you were the prime minister, would you regret it?" Fisher asked rhetorically.

"Then this offer must be very high, so high that we don't want to accept it now. What offer will it be?" Wells asked.

"I think it should be the 3b railway! The railway from Berlin to Byzantium to Baghdad!" Fisher thought for a while and said.

"This condition is a bit too high...too high..." Wells stammered while wiping cold sweat. "The German power will extend to the Persian Gulf, and obtain the rich fuel resources of the Mesopotamia, as well as Turkey's raw materials and market. It is even possible to tie this old enemy country to a German chariot!"

"This is just a guess, but we have to be prepared." Fisher didn't have enough confidence when he spoke.

"Then if the Germans proposed the 3b railway at this time, would we agree?" Wells asked.

"I don't know. This is not something we should take care of!" Fisher said in confusion.

At this time, the prince was also considering his next move. Fisher guessed a large part of it, but he somewhat underestimated the appetite of the Germans. What is the use of a mere 3b railway? How can it be possible to change the situation of the allies' sadness? For the prince, a stronger, and German-speaking Turkey is the most suitable for Germany!

Although in this era Turkey only left Asia Minor (now Turkish territory), and later Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and other places. By the way, it is Libya, and the military force is also incapable of facing the historical Balkan countries. But it is undeniable that the various materials produced in Turkey and a large amount of cannon fodder are what Germany needs most! And its geographic location is even more indispensable.

Therefore, if you want to make the first battle line end cleanly and consume as much opponents as possible, then Turkey must reform according to the German purpose! The current Sultan of Turkey, Abdul Hamid II, is not a suitable partner~www.NovelMTL.com~ Although he agreed to the construction of the 3b railway in order to thank Germany for its support, although he popularized basic education and reorganized The Ministry of Justice, the development of railroads, and telecommunications, but after all he could not bear the responsibility of being a more powerful ally. He cannot guarantee the rule of the country, such rulers naturally need to be eliminated!

Historically, he was overthrown by the Young Turkey Party, but such a party that represents the interests of the bourgeoisie and liberal landlords is also not a reliable group. First of all, this group itself has various mountains, and their ideals may be noble— All people in Turkey, regardless of religion or ethnicity, are completely equal and guarantee the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire, but unfortunately, in the face of the turbulent national independence movement everywhere, this ideal quickly degenerates into the use of Ottomanism. And military power to ensure the survival of the empire.

The Germans do not need to help Turkey restore its former glory, but at least on the surface it must also reduce internal friction, increase confidence in cohesion, improve Turkey’s industrial and national strength, and share greater pressure for Germany. In order to achieve this goal, the prince needs a Very good agent, this person is not Sudan, nor is it the Big Three of Turkey after 1913, and certainly not the later father of Turkey, Kemal, because the latter is now an 18-year-old boy who is studying in the military academy.. .....
