Chapter 14 Yalta Conference (Part 1)
You ignore me, I can't stand you.
After the failure of the Istanbul negotiations, Qitad not only came to Central Asia to inspect and relax, but also clarified his next strategy there.
In the summer of 1776, the Yalta Castle on the Crimean Peninsula.
This castle was built by the Greeks and Genoese. After belonging to the Ottoman Empire, it once became a resort for the people of the Ottoman Great Vizier. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very suitable for leisure and vacation.
The Kopruli family actually ruled the Ottoman era, and this place became the family's traditional resort and ordered others not to stay.
So, this castle actually became the villa of the Copruli family.
The Palace of Coplulu is her name.
A huge villa with a radius of six miles.
Near the seaside, all of the city walls and houses made of neatly cut marble, orange slope roofs, stone roads across the castle, come from time to time, with the smell of sea, the gusts of the black sea, the white seagulls and gray pigeons, the lush mountain of Krim Mountain to the north, and the countless trickles flowing down from the mountain, all of which are refreshing.
After the Koplulu family lost power, this place became a place where the successive Crimean governors, hiding the sweetheart and secretly freed.
In the middle of the castle is a small European-style fort covering an area of about fifty acres. It is different from the European enclosed buildings that are located in government agencies. They are staggered in height. The top of the garden dome was originally golden, but later painted green by the Ottomans.
After Qitad took over the castle, he changed it to red.
Nowadays, the two concubines he took over from Timur, Zhao Linger lives here.
At this time, the Aga Khan of Persia had unified other provinces in Tabriz, which were divided by Qitad and allowed the Zoroastrians to gain a foothold, and had officially ascended the throne.
After receiving this news, he immediately formally clarified his strategy.
He had watched the Iranian film depicting Aga Khan. After he came to power, he not only expelled the Afghan forces, but also took down the city of Fan, which originally belonged to the Ottoman Empire, the two provinces of Elm and the entire Baghdad.
At this time, the jurisdiction of Baghdad was almost Iraq in later generations!
As a eunuch emperor, he obviously perfectly inherited the military strength of his former emperor Adirsha and his cruelty towards his political enemies (including potential).
It is not too easy for such people to deal with Durani, who has lost the Creator Emperor, and the old Ottoman Empire.
But now the Persian Empire has just been unified.
In addition, at this time, Austria, one of the major powers in Europe, was one of the few countries that still adopted serfdom, but its military and technological aspects were looking towards Prussia, France, etc.
Serfdom, once you get infected, you will become addicted, and it is not easy to get rid of it easily.
Behind the serfdom is the complete set of logic of the emperor controlling the empire, that is, to control a large amount of land in the hands of those around the emperor and the emperor's family, among which the royal family generally accounts for more than one-third, and the emperor uses it to attract outstanding talents from his own country and even from all countries.
Therefore, at this time, although Austria looks like the Ottomans and seems to have become a fat meat in the eyes of France and Prussia, it still has the power to fight.
Russia's rise is obviously related to the large number of absorptions of outstanding scientists, politicians and soldiers from Western European countries. Austria is not inferior, not to mention that they are still holding the title of the Holy Roman Emperor.
"Woo..."
A beautifully decorated luxury Tengis specially designed to welcome distinguished guests arrived at the port of Yalta.
The so-called "luxury" is naturally the fact that this ship has bedrooms, bars, restaurants, bands, and even stages that are specially designed for playing dramas only in luxury cruise ships in later generations.
Each cabin is equipped with a flush toilet, which is unique in today's world.
The boat is just coming from Odessa, and the guests on the boat are from Austria!
When Leopold, the younger brother of Austrian Emperor Joseph II, just stepped onto the red carpet, he was actually immersed in this long-lasting journey.
Standing beside him was an old man with gray hair and walking side by side with Leopold, looking no less than his identity.
Konitz, then Prime Minister of Austria, also had the title of Prince.
Behind the two were about thirty followers, most of whom were men, and there were five or six maids.
“????………”
Truqin Royal Band suddenly played a welcome song that the Austrians had never heard of. The tune was high and exciting, which almost shocked the two of them. This song was naturally a humming song by Qitade, a soldier who later became a soldier. The Royal Band recorded it, and was extremely popular in later generations in different occasions.
At the end of the red carpet, Wobasi took his wife Genaire, and Foreign Minister Yesmu was waiting there.
When he reached the end of the red carpet, Leopold and Konitz were very satisfied after hearing the three of Wobassi introduce themselves.
"Qitad had only two younger brothers, one of whom had died in the Far East, so it was at least appropriate to ask his only younger brother to come forward to meet us."
Eight luxury carriages were scattered on the wide pier, and the group all got on the carriage and drove towards the city.
After the Truchens took over, they did not make any major moves to the castle and the port, but they still repaired it. After using cement to stick the stone slabs, the carriage with rough rubber tires drove very smoothly on it.
On the left front of each carriage, there are two flags inserted in the place where the glass lamp is fixed, one is naturally the Truqin flag and the other is the badge and flag of the Habsburg family.
Welcome band, red carpet, small flag, and the Austrians are instantly unique.
In the city, built in the small fort at the highest point, unlike the previous Coplulu Palace, the enclosed building is not the common garden square in Europe and the Ottoman area nowadays, but a tower with the same spire dome.
The tower is about seven floors high, and there are three people standing on the corridor at the highest point.
The one among them is Qitad!
On its left is a Persian with a big and thick look, who was the younger brother of Aga Khan, the emperor of the Persian Kaiga Dynasty. Hussein, who made great contributions to Aga Khan's unification of Persia.
In the original history, Aga Khan still took a lot of effort to unify Persia, but nowadays it is very different. With the help of the Truchens, his unified action was much smoother, and his younger brother Hussein, whom he relied most, did not die in battle, but lived to this day.
Hussein was the crown prince of the Persian Empire.
On his right, there is a big businessman in his forties who has been secretly promoted from his hometown since he became a eunuch and set up shops in major cities across the country. Later, Haji, who served as the governor of Khorasan!
Unlike the great Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, Vizier of the Persian Empire was just the emperor's chief adviser, and Haji is the role now.
Hussein and Haji, the two are the negotiators of Aga Khan!
The arrival of Persians and Austrians only means one thing.
European powers have been thinking for a long time and finally, because of their shocking plan that has been hindered by each other - to divide the Ottomans!
For Qitade, if he doesn't move, he will be shocked!
Due to the existence of serfdom, Austria's sharpness is obviously not as good as Prussia, France, the Netherlands, Britain and other countries, so they became the country with the largest land area in fact, but in fact the weakest.
Supporting the weak and dealing with the strong is also Truchen's national policy.
After seeing the carriage driving into the former Koplulu Palace and the current Salay Palace, Qitad said to the two: "Let's go down too"
....
Anqing Hall is a place where Qitade is specially used to entertain distinguished foreign guests. It is here that Qitade held a grand banquet for the Austrians and Persians.
Unlike other European countries who have private secret contacts, Qitad thought differently.
"In the past, European countries formed alliances and contacted privately. Not only did they have low trust, but they also caused doubts and delays due to this, and most of them ended up in vain."
"I just want them to appear together to strengthen each other's confidence"
"The Ottoman is still a big empire, with three empires attacking each other. I believe their confidence will be more strong"
....
The famous 18th-century Yalta Conference in history has begun.
Previously, Aga Khan actually took the initiative to contact Qitad to divide the Ottomans, so they and the Truchen people did not need to conduct a private survey, they were just talking about some details.
But Austrians are different.
Of course, Qitade is also very confident, his conditions are too rich.
The entire Ottoman European region!
Of course, his bottom line is obviously the European part of Turkey in later generations. The ideal result is the province of Tekirda Bulgaria and Vaneguiya, which is the entire eastern coast of the Black Sea. However, the Austrians can harvest the four major regions of Serbia, Greece, Albania and Thrace!
This chip is too dazzling. European Christians have been fighting for hundreds of years but can't do anything about it. The Austrian emperor is also known as the "Emperor of all Romans". It is impossible for him to be moved when facing this chip.
This is what Joseph II heard about this news, not only sent out the old Prime Minister Kaunitz, who was familiar with European affairs, but also sent his own brother together.
Joseph obviously knew that the French and British coveted the Ottomans for a long time, and he might also include his empire.
For a feudal empire based on the traditional manor system and guild system, it would be too much to launch a major reform within it. Making a big cake is the best and the most realistic choice!
Wobasi is not as good as Timur in terms of courage and vision, but in terms of being good at dancing, he is worse than Timur. He is now one of the top officials of the empire and a prince. It is very appropriate for him to come forward to negotiate with Kaunitz, Haji and others.
However, this matter is very important, and it is impossible to get to the point from the beginning.
For three consecutive days, the guests spent their time enjoying opera, Kunqu opera and singing with a distinct Truqin style (actually popular songs from later generations), and then there was a dinner that was extremely luxurious and dazzled by the guests.
Until the fourth day.
Chapter completed!
