In 1765, the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea, Calabogaz Bay.

The sea water here has the highest salt content in the entire Caspian Sea. After Truchen took the Kizil Port to the south, he immediately took out a lot of salt here.

It has been a year and a half since the Battle of Odessa, and the construction of the Truchens in the Nogay area has come to an end. The new Truchen (Qita German) centered on Kraftbas has begun to show its glory.

Looking around, there was only one thing left in Qitad.

That is a decisive battle with the Russians.

Fortunately, he met Caterina, who was born in Germany and had strong will and grand plans, but Peter III, who was irritable, drunk all day long, and was only interested in the army.

At this time, Peter III obviously would not let Frederick the Great over him anymore, and as in history, Frederick's people filled the central government of the empire, but the damage caused to him by marriage by close relatives cannot be reversed by a simple emotional change.

So, he was still capricious and still drunk day and night.

What he was most interested in was training his "new army", a Russian army formed safely according to the Prussian army's formation and training method.

Since the Truchen and Ottoman Wars, he has realized the danger of the Truchen people.

So, when he was in good health, he lived in Taritzin (Volgograd) for a long time and brought two new troops he thought had been built - the St. Petersburg Guards and the Moscow Guards.

These two armies were indeed organized according to the Prussian army, or were they two real "army", each army had three divisions, each army had two infantry divisions and one cavalry division. He asked the famous general Salticov to station three divisions in Voronesh, and he personally stationed three divisions in Chalijin.

Although he seemed very unstable, his judgment on the army was still correct. Now there is Suvorov's army in Eastern Ukraine, Chalizin has himself, and Voronesh has an army in the rear.

The elite of three armies was pressing against the north of the Truchen Kingdom, and with the troops of Astrakhan and Orenburg, the Russians rarely arranged so many standing troops in one direction.

In the past, they arranged at most one division in important cities, and only in the war did they draw a large number of serf soldiers, Cossacks, and tribal cavalry.

Obviously, he has regarded Truchen as a great enemy and may invade at any time.

However, a tsar who is so obsessed with military affairs like him, and has been away from St. Petersburg and Moscow for a long time, is not a good thing for imperial power.

A conspiracy against him is obviously in the works.

Also, in Voronesh, Taritzin arranged two standing troops, which would put great pressure on the local government.

Today, the largest grain-producing land for the Russians is the Ryazan-Kursk-Voronesh-Saratov plain, but the climate and soil here are not as good as the black soil in Ukraine, and the output is naturally not as good as that in Ukraine.

But the local government will not care about so much. Today's senior Voronesh official, Bettov, and Astrakhan's senior official, Kishinskov, will not be sympathetic to serfs.

Just like the Pugachev uprising in history (about to come), the new Cossacks and serf riots are also brewing.

All this, Peter III, who was sleepy all day, obviously knew nothing about it.

For Qitad, he has now cleared the south, west, and north of the country, Russia, and only the east is still hidden dangers.

In fact, for him, the Shiva Khanate in the east could completely ignore it. With their current strength, it would not have any impact on the kingdom.

The Russians' complete conquest of Central Asia in history was based on a large number of equipment for formal rifles and artillery, and it would take a hundred years to wait.

But the Truchens have realized it in advance, with the strength of a battalion, they can walk sideways until the arrival of the large army, but Qitad is a person who pursues perfection and even has some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This is obviously not what he harbored to him by his body, but was given to him by Deng Guangming of later generations.

By this year, the Khanate of Shiva also faced great changes.

In order to get through there as soon as possible, he decided to dig a canal from the Caspian Sea to Lake Sarekamesh.

Of course, there are prerequisites to accomplish this.

At this time, there were a large number of Turkmen herders distributed between the Caspian Sea and the Oasis of Shiva. They were either Zoroastrians or Islamists, but they were not welcomed in any way.

In the Ashgabat Valley to the south, although Turkmen nobles were also lords, they were high-ranking Islamists. Just as the Islamists in the Shiva Khanate regarded Zoroastrians as serfs, the lords also looked at Zoroastrians with different eyes.

In the Khanate of Shiva, although the Zoroastrians had occupied the northern end of the oasis, the seeming tribal leader, Arslan, from the Chincha tribe, had a fall for the leader Rasim.

It can be seen how vulnerable religion is in the face of secular interests.

So, at this time, Rasim could only control the poor Turkmen herdsmen at both ends of the oasis, and most of the Zoroastrians in the oasis castle returned to Arslan.

However, although Arslan is interested in the four major tribes and decides to bring all the Turkmens into the "Uzbek" group that the four major tribes claim to be outside, the meaning of "Uzbek" itself has now evolved into the meaning of "the master of the Turkmen".

Therefore, even if Arslan wants to integrate, it is not easy to do it.

This is the power of the tribe, which is also above religion.

Without surprise, Rasim asked for help from Qitad.

Then, digging a canal and reaching the edge of the oasis at an extremely fast speed has become the top priority.

The Oasis of Shiva is lonely in the desert, hundreds of miles southeast, west and northeast, and it is not easy to completely rule here. Only later Soviet Union did it, but they also dug canals to connect the Caspian Sea and Sarekamesh Lake!

In the past year, 20,000 prisoners from the Ottoman Empire worked day and night on the basis of the previous rivers, and only a small section of the canal from Hardsu Port in Karabogaz Bay to the east to the Kaplan River south of Lake Sarekamesh.

For people at this time, it is not easy to build a canal that runs across two major waters, so you need to have the ability to accurately measure water levels and altitude.

After Napoleon occupied Egypt, he immediately thought about building the Suez Canal, but because of the altitude problems between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, he returned in vain and eventually had to abandon it.

Speaking of Napoleon, he was really destined to be with Qitad. Of course he was not born yet, but his father, from Corsica, was a Italian-speaking Charles Bonaparte, who had seen him early in the morning.

At this time, Corsica had already built a Corsica Republic after a long period of resistance to the colonial rule of the Republic of Genoa, but its status was not solid, so she wanted to look for foreign aid everywhere.

At this time, neither Spain, Habsburg nor France would treat them equally - except for the nobles, Charles happened to be the nobles of Corsica.

After learning about the Black Sea War between the Truchens and the Ottomans, the Governor of the Corsica Republic immediately sent Charles to Truchen - of course, there was obviously the power of the Freemasons and Jews, otherwise they would not have sent envoys to a strange country.

With the arrival of Charles, Qitad's Mediterranean strategy, which was still a little confused, has a complete plan.

For him, he was obviously neither willing nor motivated to occupy territory in the Mediterranean, but the current situation was also very beneficial to him.

The Mediterranean Sea is now, Cyprus Island, Crete, and Rhode Island are naturally occupied by the Ottomans, but there are still a large number of Greeks on it.

Sicily is occupied by the Duke of Savoy, recognized by the Habsburg family, Sardinia is occupied by Spain, Corsica is nominally occupied by the Republic of Genoa, Palma is occupied by Spain, and Malta is occupied by the Knights of St. John.

The southern bank is the territory of the Ottomans.

If you want to successfully manage this place, please note that if you are a management, you must have a supply port, especially for the steam that has been powered by the ship. Coal and fresh water are all necessary.

There is no need to occupy there, but owning or leasing a series of ports is the most important thing.

Pearl Island Chain Plan, this is the plan that Qitade has already formed but has not expressed.

There is another by-product of this plan, that is, the Charles plan. In a few years, the Genoese sold the island to the French because they could not cope with the revolts on Corsica. This led to the rise of Napoleon later, otherwise Napoleon would have been the child of an ordinary nobleman who spoke Italian on the island.

If the island can be sold to the French, it cannot be sold to the Truchens?

Besides, the Truchens did not intend to own the island in full, they only needed a supply port.

A France without Napoleon is exciting to think about.

Also, after the rise of the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Venice, which was originally dominating the Mediterranean, declined immediately, and the rise of the great voyage exacerbated their decline.

But everything is not absolute. When they decline in trade, they will open up ways from other aspects.

By the way, it is the bank that is in full swing. The Ducat gold coins of the two republics cannot help but lend to merchants, and can also lend to Ottomans, France, Spain, Masonics and the Jewish world factions obviously found opportunities from it.

Truchen, which is actually the establishment of the Jewish state, is obviously very important in the eyes of these people.

And the islands mentioned just now were mostly controlled by these two republics in the past.

To completely defeat the Ottoman Navy, let the Venetians and Genoeses re-owned them, and to occupy only one or two ports by themselves is a perfect plan.

The Ottomans obviously would not give up. All of these islands, in the hundreds of years of history, are soaked in the blood of several feet thick on both sides.

Every island is a meat grinder.

Every island has hundreds of thousands of bones.

But now times have changed. Britain, France and the Netherlands are all overseas. Although their navy has the dominance of the Ottomans, they do not value the Mediterranean, which has no interests.

Just think about it and then you will know that the first attack on the Barbary Kingdom was the Americans, not the European countries.

So, one wants to replenish the supply points, and the other wants to regain the glory of the past.

Hit it right away.
