Perhaps apart from being richer than the Italian government, Sheffield has nothing that can make it better than the other party. Especially after just completing the reorganization with other giants. But just having money is useless, the slave owners have no military power to rely on.

, in fact, there is, but the black gold company cannot really be compared with the army of a country.

Perhaps it can only be compared in terms of wages. The monthly expenses of a black gold company with 20,000 employees are 2.4 million U.S. dollars. The expenses of 100,000 Italian troops are 800,000 lire.

Do you want to try the gold-dollar tactic and see if you can get the Italians to switch sides by bribing them? Doesn’t Mr. Chang always use this tactic?

Although he wanted to give some help to the Ottoman Empire, Sheffield had to refuse in the end. Going through fire and water without hesitation was not what he, a monopoly capitalist, should do.

"What did that Turk do here just now?" Natalia, who was returning home from shopping, happened to see the envoy leaving and asked with disgust.

"Come here and ask for help!" Sheffield put his hands in his pockets and pretended to be disgusted with the little fur girl. This Russian-Turkish relationship is not something that slave owners can adjust. The emperor is the heir to the Eastern Roman Empire and the Orthodox world.

It is strange that the leader of the Ottoman Empire has a good relationship with the Ottomans, a country that occupies Constantinople.

"These dirty Turks!" Natalia's Orthodox attributes exploded, and she verbally criticized Osman.

Sheffield just pretended not to hear it. Regarding territorial disputes, it is an issue that can never be accurately defined. Those who dare to say that they have sufficient reasons to regain lost territory are just giving the citizens a psychological comfort.

Does Mongolia want to restore the Mongol Empire? Does Persia want to restore the First Persian Empire? When they are restored to their maximum, the earth is not divided enough, not to mention that the reasons for the empire are a bit nonsense.

Of course, in front of Natalia, Sheffield still clearly stated his position. From a personal point of view, he supported Imperial Russia's just actions and should avenge the Roman Empire and kill these heretics.

"Actually, Imperial Russia's goal is too big. If you do it yourself, it may arouse the jealousy of others, such as the British. They love to do this kind of thing." Sheffield patted his thigh and asked Natalia to sit down and said

, "The best strategy is to support some forces in the Balkans without ending up personally."

Anyway, imperial Russia cannot do it on its own. What is the concept of the Russian Empire? This is a country larger than the Soviet Union. For such a huge country, any movement will cause panic. The Russo-Japanese War is an obvious example!

But regarding the issue of the Balkans specifically, at the beginning of the 20th century, Imperial Russia really had the support of all the ethnic groups in the Balkans. Likewise, Imperial Russia really believed that it was a savior. It saved these Slavic friends from the reactionary rule of the Ottomans.

Saved.

Many countries pay lip service to sympathize with the peoples of the Balkans, but only the Russian Empire is not just talking about it, but actually taking action. Almost every nation in the Balkans has been supported by the Russian Empire in their opposition to Ottoman rule.

.

However, supporting too many forces also has shortcomings. First of all, it inspired explosive nationalism, which even Imperial Russia could not solve. Great Slavicism and Great Germanism were only widely known because of the strong national power of Germany and Imperial Russia.

There are still many variations in the Balkans. The peoples who have survived to this era must have had a long history. To restore the Great Bulgaria Plan of the Bulgarian Empire, wherever there are Serbs, it will be the Great Serbia Plan of Serbia.

As the orthodox successor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Greece has the Magna Graecia Plan. Others include the various Greater Croatia Plans. The Great Bulgaria Plan is a Bulgarian national unification idea that aims to restore the largest territory in Bulgarian history.

Of course, the Bulgarians were not stupid enough to really want to restore the largest territory in history. When it was time to give up, they still chose to give up! The target range set included: the plains between the Danube River and the Balkan Mountains, the north and south Dobroga, and the Sofia region

, Pirot, Vranje, North Thrace, parts of East Thrace, Macedonia and other regions.

The main targets were all aimed at the Turks, and they did not stupidly include the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Greece and other countries. Even so, it was beyond the scope of Bulgaria's capabilities at the time.

The scope of Greater Croatia includes the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina and parts of Serbia, and there is a fierce conflict with Greater Serbia. These two ideas are diametrically opposed and are the root of the later Yugoslav Civil War.

Almost all of these countries were supported by Imperial Russia. These explosive nationalist plans left the small Balkans with insufficient land, so after defeating the Ottomans, they quickly fell into cannibalism.

The Ottoman envoy left, and the slave owner became Natalia's licking dog again, seriously analyzing how the Emperor could take back Constantinople from the hands of the Ottomans.

From Sheffield's point of view, in order to achieve this goal, Imperial Russia must persist to the end during the World War. Therefore, the true Great Russians of later generations do not like the Soviet Union. Such people believe that if Imperial Russia persists until the Allied Powers win, it will definitely take advantage of the opportunity.

Solve the problems that have plagued Russia for hundreds of years, rush to the Mediterranean, cut off Eurasia and dominate the world.

The Soviet Union only has this kind of influence in half of the world, and there is still half a gap between it and the entire world in the minds of the Great Russians. Much like the Rockefeller family, ninety percent is not enough, I want 100%.

In front of Natalya, Sheffield had no taboos. He planned this matter completely from the perspective of a Russian. Yes, William Pasha went against the grain again.

"The current imperial Russia has this ability. Everyone in Eastern Europe, except for the Poles, all look forward to it, hoping that Russia can liberate them." After thinking about it for a while, Sheffield still felt that the wording was not rigorous, and he had forgotten the story of the people who arrived from the Baltic Sea.

The Black Sea's foot-binding cloth, that's what it means anyway.

To be honest, Sheffield is now eagerly looking forward to the outbreak of the Balkan War as soon as possible, mainly because Imperial Russia is an important member of the Allied Powers, and it will hate Italy instead of Italy, so that the Italian-Turkish War will not become a war between two German allies.

The difference is simply that the Russian Empire secretly prepares to take action, or Sheffield once again uses his money power to buy a few months of time from the upper management of the Russian Empire through Rasputin.

You don’t need to think about Sheffield to know that Rasputin must have lived a good life in the upper class of Imperial Russia. Before, the falling chandelier was just childish. This time, the prediction of the Italian-Turkish war has become a piece of cake in the eyes of Nicholas II and his wife.

The existence of a saint might have taken the opportunity to steal the first night of many noble girls from Imperial Russia.

Sheffield made a guest appearance as a spiritual Russian in front of Natalia, and successfully expressed his position and gained the admiration of Mao Mei. Although Natalia has lost her original youthfulness due to age. But the years have passed.

Invincible is a true beauty, except for a hint of mature style, nothing has changed.

Sheffield originally thought that his repeated leaps and bounds regarding European matters were over, but within a few days, the previous Ottoman envoy appeared at Oak Manor again.

The slave owner was a little annoyed. Although he didn't mind stating his position again after the other party left, he couldn't always do so.

"William Pasha, if I have a grand vizier, if you can find a way to overcome the current predicament, whether it is the great sultan, the grand vizier, or many pashas, ​​they will express their sincere gratitude."

"Then what?" Sheffield tried his best not to laugh out loud. The other party thanked him? He was willing to go through fire and water for the Ottoman Empire. Did these Ottomans make a mistake?

Sheffield really doesn't care about the Italians' reaction, but what good does this do to him?

Just as he was about to speak, the messenger first spoke, "William Pasha, if you can think of a way, Basra Province can be your pasha's territory."

Sheffield suddenly jumped up from the sofa. Such words as "Spiritual Russia", "Senior German Fan", "French Wife", "Emperor's Hairy Girl", etc. were not of any use. The slave owner circled around the envoy standing there several times and asked.

, "You're not cheating on me, are you?"

"It's definitely not deception. It's the common intention of many pashas." The messenger hurriedly said, "Governmental orders can be issued at any time."

"I have always been a loyal Ottoman subject!" Sheffield said categorically, "Please rest assured the Grand Vizier and Enver Pasha, I will try my best to ensure the supply of North Africa. Benghazi is still in the hands of Enver Pasha.

Right? Keep this port and I will supply all the weapons and food for the Ottoman soldiers. Do you want me to organize some armed forces to participate in the war? If necessary, I can also go to the battlefield."

"Ask Jess to come over and send a telegram to all the black gold branches immediately, whether it is Kuwait, Goa, or Belgrade, allocate manpower, organize cargo ships to rush to North Africa immediately, start now." Sheffield called the butler in, his mouth was like
Chapter completed!
