"Your Majesty, do you still remember that Olga?"

"Olga? Are you talking about Deputy Commander Jenicheri of Istanbul?"

"Your Majesty, your news is outdated. Now, Sultan Hamid I have increased the Jenicheri, who guards the city of Istanbul, to three divisions, with a total of 30,000 people, completely according to the French military system."

"The three divisions formed the real Sultan Guards, and the commander was still the Ottoman noble Muscala, but he was also the mayor of Istanbul. He was more interested in the latter because the daily trade volume of Golden Horn Bay to the north of the city accounts for almost 30% of the entire empire."

"So, the real command of this army actually fell into the hands of French adviser Tot. The commander of the First Division is Olga, who is stationed in the palace"

"The commander of the Second Division was De Fontane, the chief of staff of this army in the past, and was also a Frenchman"

"The commander of the Third Division is the Sultan's secretary Hamit"

"The Second Division and the Third Division are all stationed in castles between the inner and outer cities"

Qitade's brain is running at high speed.

"Olga needs to be theirs, but even our Peternovic betrayed Truchen. What kind of mystery will people like Olga occupy a high position pay attention to? I guess they won't believe it themselves."

"I have been in this world for more than 30 years and have understood one thing, that is, religious beliefs are indeed useful, but the higher the status, the less useful it is. It is only useful for those extremely poor people who have nothing, because they have nothing, and can only rely on illusory gods."

"If a commander Jenicheri was placed in the past, he could almost control the position of the Ottoman Sultan. Why would he still serve the Mysterious Society?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

However, he asked: "You want our country to attack Istanbul? How is this possible?"

"As far as I know, the walls of the outer city of Istanbul are more than forty miles in circumference, with an average height and thickness of more than ten meters. They are all made of white marble near the Marmara Sea. The bonding area is filled with volcanic ash and eggs, which are indestructible"

"There are two wide and deep moats, and there are two Great Walls that separate the peninsula to the west. Each Great Wall is more than one hundred miles long. This is on land. Even if you attack here from the depths of the mainland, you are exhausted. How can you get these Great Walls and City Walls?"

"Also, the castle has a good harbor in Golden Horn Bay. It is close to the Bosphorus to the east, and to the south, the Marmara Sea is cliffs. Only the Golden Horn Bay to the north can be attacked. You are an old man from the Mediterranean. I guess you have heard of the legend of the Roman Empire in the ancient times."

"At the entrance of Golden Horn Bay, the Romans once crossed a thick iron chain. The Ottomans went through a lot of hardships to take the bay, and then countless casualties took the castle"

"After the Ottomans occupied this city, they added seven iron chains. The iron chains were thicker and stronger than those of the Romans. They could block the Golden Horn Bay at any time"

"Also, even if you occupy the castle, Galada, which is separated from the sea of ​​Golden Horn Bay, has a bay of more than one mile wide. Although the artillery can be fired, it is still difficult to catch it when you reach Istanbul."

(Galada, refers to the Galada Castle in Istanbul across the Golden Horn Bay)

Hearing this, Thanos's old eyes that looked a little dizzy suddenly burst out with a trace of light.

He smiled and said, "That's true, but wasn't it captured by the Ottomans hundreds of years ago? Artillery is changing with each passing day, and your country is the leader. As long as you take Galada, Istanbul will not be a problem."

Qitad naturally didn't want to talk to him about these details, "Your Excellency, let us use Orga to take Istanbul. There will be no conditions, right? Also, Olga is now a great nobleman in Istanbul. Will people like him still obey your greetings? I think it's difficult"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Thanos's eyes, "Your Majesty, what you are saying is, not only our people, but there are probably many spies arranged in Istanbul in Europe. There are also many who have been sent there since childhood to let them enter the Jeniceri military camp, but few have succeeded."

"But the situation in Olga is different"

"Oh? What's the difference? No matter what the difference, now that he has this position, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, he will definitely make his family one of the Ottomans. It is not impossible to become the Great Vizier in the future"

"Your Majesty, that's right, as long as you are a human, you have weaknesses. Olga is different from other Jenicheri. He is not a European or a spy we deliberately sent there, nor is it a white boy who deliberately captured the Ottomans"

"But he is an Ottoman himself!"

"Ah?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will tell you slowly. This person is an authentic Ottoman, or a child of the great nobles of the empire."

"Just like the Europeans who kept sending Jenicheri and spies to Istanbul, the Ottomans were no less than that, and they also sent their own people to Europe in large numbers, the main place was Vienna."

"Olga's mother is an Espanyol. When he was six years old, his mother was killed by the Sultan..."

"Is it killed on purpose?"

"It's mostly like this, and then I sent it back to Spain on the grounds that the child is still young and lonely. His grandfather was also a great nobleman in Spain. In this way, Olga grew up to fifteen years old in Spain"

"In this year, Olga's aunt married to Vienna, and Olga followed her..."

"Slowly, since this person is nominally yours, then his aunt is obviously a member of the noble family?"

“Yes, like your wife Benetita, it is indeed…”

Hearing this, Qitade couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Benettita also visited the city of Rome before marrying Timur, and was baptized by the pope there, and stayed there for a while, and joined the Mysterious Society during this time. Of course, the Mysterious Society would not appear in the world under this name"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Their public names are mostly some scientific society, art association, philosophy association, such as mathematics association, physics association, biology association, astronomical society, concert, opera association, Pythagoras association, etc. Benetita joins the opera association"

"In the past, there was a Swedish queen who joined the Mathematics Society, but in addition to this person, most of the people who joined were small nobles or civilians who were really interested in something. Few male nobles joined, otherwise the association would be able to take over the entire Europe."

"Benetita has always lived in Yalta. Should she have contact with her now? They also know some of the affairs of our country?"

He asked back: "So the Austrians took a fancy to him and asked him to come to Istanbul again, and then they were "unintentionally" taken to Jenicheri by the Ottomans? No, since his family background is good, even the Austrians and Ottomans will not be unclear."

Thanos shook his head, "He took the initiative to join Jeniceri and confessed his life experience to Sultan. Sultan is very confident about joining Jeniceri. It has been true for hundreds of years. Except for internal rebellion, these Jeniceri rarely have foreigners."

"Then..."

"I know Your Majesty's doubts. Based on the rules of the association, I am not allowed to inform you of all the circumstances, but one thing can be said"

"Olga is the Sultan's son-in-law, but there are only two houses in the city, close to the ten shops in Golden Horn Bay, and there are still a thousand acres of land outside the city"

"But after his aunt died, she stayed in the entire Austrian manor, and the castle belonged to him. Not only that, the castles, caravans, and manors hung under his name are all over Europe. By the way, he is also one of the shareholders of the Bank of Amsterdam"

Qitad smiled and said, "Since it is inherited by his aunt's property, it should be controlled by the Austrians."

Thanos sighed: "Your Majesty is as careful as his hair. It seems that I have to expose the secret. After Aunt Olga's death, many people were able to inherit her property, but why did it fall on him? Also, Austrian property alone, but why are there Prussian, French, and Swiss in Olga's name?"

Qitade thought to himself: "Is it really wealth that touches people's hearts?"

Then he said, "Since that's the case, why don't you take Istanbul yourself?"

Thanos said: "Your Majesty is joking. You just mentioned a lot of difficulties in this city. Even the famous Truchen thinks that this is the case. Our country is just a small country, how can it be done?"

"If Istanbul really takes over, what are your conditions?"

"Your Majesty, since you have said this, I will not hide it. I know that your country wants to completely control the Ottoman Strait. In that case, the coastal land will also be taken down. We hope to obtain some islands in the Mediterranean."

"Oh, don't you have the intention to return to Jerusalem?"

"This..."

"Your Majesty means to completely take down the entire Ottoman. God, I'm sorry for being rude. I think it's too difficult. In the eyes of our king, it would be quite good to be able to take down Istanbul"

"In the Ottoman Empire, the Sultans were disregarded by their relatives. Once they came to power, they would kill all the brothers and sisters who were threatening their position, leaving only a potential successor, and imprisoned this person before they died"

"Will the Sudan thinks that the situation has stabilized, this person will come to Ankara, the deputy capital, to conduct government training"

"Ankara, it is one of the direct jurisdictions of the Sultan. Hundreds of miles around are all people of the Sultan family or confidants, all of whom have made blood oaths in the large temples. There are 10,000 elite troops there, and 10,000 Sipasi cavalry who can be mobilized at any time"

"In our speculation, if Istanbul can be taken down and let it retreat to Ankara to continue to rule, after all, they came from there"

"The Ottoman Empire, almost all provinces have the possibility of rebellion, but Ankara will never be, and it is still a place where one can fight for Sudan to the last person"

Qitad didn't say anything. He obviously knew what Thanos said. This was one of the reasons why he made Aga Khan, who was extremely cruel after becoming Shah, attack from east to west. It was obviously difficult for Ankara to capture, but he would be willing to use the Persians to turn it into a barren land.
