Chapter 15 Yalta Conference (Part 2)
In Salai Palace, Qitad set up a barbecue room.
Just in Wobasi, Yesmu and his two men were negotiating with the Austrians, Qitad personally met Haji.
Hussein was accompanied by the Truchens to play in the mountains and rivers.
The drizzle and the weather are cool, which is a good day for barbecue.
Haji, a fat middle-aged man, was obviously shocked when he saw Qitad himself grilling for himself.
Qitad smiled and stopped his urge to summon his servants to replace the work, saying, "The food you make yourself is the most delicious food."
The Truqin beer that had just been salvaged from a deep well, and the two of them started chatting with the fat lamb.
"It is said that Aga Khan took some effort to take Shiraz?"
"Yes, there is an inner city built on the mountain in the outer city of Shiraz. It is very steep. The city is full of food and grass. It is also guarded by Ali Nasi's Kurdish guards. Without the assistance of your army, it will take us at least a year to take it down."
"With the assistance of your army's artillery, a fire broke out in the mountain city soon, and everyone in the city was buried in the sea of fire..."
"The whole city? So that the backbone of the Assassin faction Mansour also died?"
After Mansour came to Shiraz, he assassinated Karim Khan, causing chaos in the Persian Empire, which gave Aga an opportunity to take advantage of it, but Shiraz City was still in the hands of Karim Khan's nephew Ali.
"It should be, and then we declare that this person killed Karim Khan, and Ali took him in, which made people think that Ali killed Karim Khan, so it would be much smoother to unify the country again"
“Very good…”
Qitad thought to himself: "The guy Mansur first escaped the fire in Nalchik City, then escaped the collapse of the Caucasus Cave, and then faced the fire again. It's time to die this time."
"How many people are available in your country nowadays?"
"At least two hundred thousand!"
This is why Qitad was anxious to form an alliance with the Persians. They had just unified the country and the army was in full swing. If the movie in later generations was right, when Aga Khan invaded Iraq, the Ottomans had almost no resistance.
In addition to the Persians at this time, the Ottomans knew that they could not resist the factors they could not resist and took the initiative to make the entire Iraqi region come out.
However, the dynasty he established soon gave up the area again, probably because of the assassination.
In any case, it would be a pity if you don't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The two chatted for a while, and Qitad finally took the initiative to get back to the topic.
"What do you think about the Ottoman?"
"My Khan wants to get a holy land"
He was naturally referring to Mecca and Medina, but after failed negotiations with the Ottomans, Qitad completely understood a truth.
In this world, only interests are fundamental, and the rest are all details or high-sounding things that depend on interests.
"The remaining land belongs to our country?"
"This..."
"To be honest, you must know that you are not facing a senior official of Truqin, but the lord of a country!"
Qitade suddenly had a stern face.
Haji felt a little nervous, and after a while, he said tentatively: "Can the Mesopotamia, Fanhu area, and El Group Rum area be allocated to our country?"
"That's all?"
Haji thought to himself: "Does he just want to take down the European part of the Ottoman?"
Then he said: "It is better for your country to take over the European part of the country, and our country will take over the part east of the strait"
"Hahaha," Qitad couldn't help laughing, "You have such a big appetite. The Anatolian Plateau is the foundation of the Ottomans. Can you digest it?"
"Then Baghdad, Van Lake, El Group Rum!"
Qitade smiled faintly, then got up and came to a stone wall with a white scroll hanging on it. After pulling it up, a map was revealed.
"Since it's negotiating with you, it's obviously only involved the Asian part"
"Look, this is along the Strait, close to the Aegean Sea, Izmit, Yalova, Bursa, Baleksir, and Canakkale. From Canakkale to the west, to the Georgia region, there are thousands of miles of Ponting Mountains"
"These cities are just north of the Ponting Mountains and west of them, and are occupied by our country, and all the remaining places belong to Persia"
"Really?!"
Haji almost jumped up.
Qitad thought to himself: "The Ottoman Empire has been established for hundreds of years. Although it is old, its power is still there. It is too difficult to take the entire Asia Minor Peninsula. Both the Persians and they are Islamists, so they are naturally smaller in their jurisdiction."
"And I just need to take down the area near the strait, and the European part can only take down the Eastern Thrace region. If I take down the land of Romania and Bulgaria in later generations, it will be too eye-catching. In this unpredictable world, hiding my weakness after the storm is the king."
"Forget it all to the Austrians. This is the territory of the former Eastern Roman Empire, so it is worthy of its name. In this way, they will definitely become the target of public criticism of the entire Europe"
"A smaller place can be easily stabilized through immigration. In time, it will be no problem to turn it into a place like Azerbaijan and Dobastan"
"That Damascus area?"
Qitade had already thought about this.
"You are in charge of the jurisdiction, but the Jerusalem area to the south is in charge of our country"
He obviously did not want to govern this land of right and wrong, but it was okay to hand it over to the Kingdom of Solomon in exchange for half of its Egypt, which was originally the land of the Kingdom of Solomon, and I believe Bourton would not refuse.
The purpose is also clear. Truchen must firmly control both sides of the Ayuqi Canal in his own hands.
Sure enough, Haji was a little disappointed when he heard this, and Qitad advised: "If you can take over the entire Arabian Peninsula, it will be yours, including the Mecca and Medina you are thinking about"
"Which Cyprus Island?"
"It is also occupied by our country. There are many coastal islands on the Asia Minor Peninsula. As long as you rely on your coastline, you can occupy them."
Regarding Cyprus Island, Qitad obviously did not want to occupy it easily, and he had already thought about his arrangements. He planned to give the island to the Knights of Malta in exchange for the island of Malta. The island of Cyprus is nearly 10,000 square kilometers, which is much larger than the island of Malta. I believe the Knights of Malta will not disagree.
When they were driven to the sea by the Arabs from the land of Jerusalem, the first stop was Cyprus.
As for Crete, which controls the throat of the Aegean Sea, it will naturally be taken down by Truchen.
After that, Truchen had Sardinia, which had the richest natural resources, Malta Island in the heart of the Mediterranean, and Crete, which was exported to the Aegean Sea. With the power of its own navy, it was enough to control the Mediterranean, which was about 8,000 miles long east and west.
Haji was ecstatic in his heart. You should know that although Aga Khan in real history captured the three major areas of Van Lake, El Group Rum and Baghdad, they were actually at the end of their strength, otherwise they would not have lost these three places immediately after he died.
If what Qitad said really came true, the Persian Empire would have the Black Sea and the Mediterranean estuary. This is the beginning of the Persian Empire established by the great Cyrus II!
Since then, Persian kings have had a dream in their hearts, wanting to restore the Black Sea and the Mediterranean estuary. Without the restraint and assistance of the Truchens, their footprints spread throughout Central Asia. Haji, Europe, knew that he could not defend himself with his own strength.
In their hearts, the more land and population, the better. Where can I care whether I can really eat it?
How could Quitad know about his thoughts? However, this was not enough. He was going to push the Persians further away from the crater.
"Have Aga Khan talked about Afghanistan with you before?"
Haji's heart almost popped up.
For Persians, they are already familiar with life on the Persian Plateau. Although the topography and climate of the Anatolian Plateau are similar to those of the Persian Plateau, the conditions are much better and the population is larger. I guess they don’t have the confidence to last for how long they can stabilize.
But Afghanistan is different, where the topography is almost exactly the same as that of Persia!
Afghanistan and Persia have always been breaking up and reunited. It would be great if they could still move eastward to take down the land.
At this time, Persia was similar to Afghanistan, and it was mainly tribes. They were familiar with geography, climate, etc., so they fought for the front station. With the cooperation of the Truchens, it was not a big problem to take this place.
In later generations, whether it was the Soviet Union or the United States, they rolled up their sleeves and did it themselves, so naturally they would have half the result with twice the effort, but the Persians were different.
What's more, when Nadirsha established the Afshar dynasty, he relied on the Pashtuns in the east and the Kurds in the west, and his own Turkic tribes succeeded in the battle.
There are still a large number of Pashtun people in Persia, especially in the Khorasan, Kerman and Zabole areas close to Afghanistan.
These people can obviously be used by Aga Khan.
Naturally, Qitad would not make wedding dresses for the Persians for nothing, but to make it possible to enter the Indus River Basin once the Persians conquered the area, at least in the area north of Kabul.
In that case, in addition to sea, I also have a land passage to enter India.
In the future, even if the British rise again and want to cause trouble in Central Asia, they can still deal with it calmly.
The areas north of the Amu River are sooner or later Truchen belong to Truchen. Then they go south from Kunduz, Afghanistan, in the middle reaches of the Amu River, and quickly arrive in Kabul. After crossing the Khyber Pass eastward, you can enter the Indus River Basin. Nowadays, Peshawar and Laval areas also belong to the Durani Dynasty.
Taking advantage of the Persians' large-scale entry, it is the best way to use the entire Indus River Basin as a Truchen colony. Otherwise, it would cost a huge price to break in by just the Truchen people.
The entire Afghanistan is left to the Persians to take care of, but the Indus River Basin must be taken down.
For this place, it is not worth the money to use immigration to stabilize it. Learning from the British, using Sikhs, and becoming a soldier is the best strategy.
