Chapter 333: Osman, the Sick Man of West Asia

(I have been relaxing for a while these two days, haha, the updates are not good enough! Starting from tomorrow, the update rate will be 3+2 every day. Children who don’t have a rest on the 11th can’t afford to be hurt! Woohoo!!) ​​That’s it!

, in the reception room of the Hanzhi Palace, Tie Bing was putting forward his opinions and opinions, and Li Ningyu also wrote instructions on the message. Then the order was sent back to the Far East Science and Technology Design Department, and a copy was sent to the Navy Commander.

Liu Qinghui.

In Li Ningyu's personal instructions, he did not put forward more suggestions for improvement, but asked the production and construction department to start the construction of the first batch of five Typhoon-class strategic submarines, and required them to be incorporated into the Far East Navy within two years.

The battle sequence, and the test submarine that has been launched, after perfecting all aspects of configuration, was immediately delivered to the Navy and directly deployed in the Gulf of Aden waters in the Somali region for combat readiness.

After everything was arranged, Li Ningyu and Tie Bing secretly discussed matters in the Najd area before setting off tomorrow. Li Ningyu proposed to only lead one regiment of troops, but Tie Bing still frowned. He has followed Li Ningyu for more than ten years.

, has always been an iron soldier fighting on the front line. He knows Li Ningyu's character well, but as long as he decides something, he will not change it easily, so he just puts forward some suggestions on preventive measures based on some possible situations.

.

"Master, should we wait for the field troops mobilized from Somalia to arrive before we start marching! There may be a delay of about three days at most!"

When Tie Bing said this, he had a sincere expression on his face, which made Li Ningyu, who was about to refuse bluntly, stop talking and said: "Actually, I have thought about this issue seriously, but every day I delay, things will change."

This will invisibly increase the probability of variables, so we will set off tomorrow morning! But what we are bringing with us is not a guard regiment, but a Marine Corps!"

"Marine Corps! Well, that's fine. After all, the Guard Regiment is only a type B garrison combat order. The Marine Corps has much higher combat experience and comprehensive strength. That's fine. I'll make arrangements immediately!" After saying this, Tie Tie

Bing was about to get up and leave to arrange things, but was stopped by Li Ningyu. It seemed that he still had something to say.

"Tie Bing, wait a minute. I have something else to ask you. What are the latest trends in various countries recently?"

Seeing Li Ningyu calling him, Tie Bing quickly sat back. After understanding the content of Li Ningyu's inquiry, Tie Bing said without thinking: "Master, since we arrived in Mecca, the situation in the Middle East has been undercurrent. I

I think all this will develop gradually, especially in the period after tomorrow!”.

"You mean, the mobilization of 50,000 field troops!" Li Ningyu immediately recognized the hint in Tie Bing's words.

"Well, such a large-scale transfer cannot be hidden, Master! We should prepare early, otherwise we will be in danger and some things will be difficult to handle!"

"Yes! The thing I am most careful about is that this mobilization of troops will definitely attract the attention of the surrounding forces, but this step must be taken, no matter who stands in front of us in the future!"

"Master!..."

In the reception room of the Hijaz Palace, Li Ningyu and Tie Bing discussed in low voices how the Far East Group's sudden expansion to the Middle East would make decisions for the surrounding forces, especially the relationship between the Far East and the Kingdom of Hijaz.

Of course, the most important thing about an arms deal is the mobilization of 50,000 field troops.

In the current situation in the Middle East, the two largest forces are the United Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire. After all, the relationship between Britain and the Far East is inextricably linked, and both parties know the basics well, so they will not start a fight if they disagree. In addition, the current situation in the Middle East

The interests were not enough for Edward VII to break off diplomatic relations with Li Ningyu, so according to Tie Bing's analysis, the Ottoman Empire must be the most hostile to the Far East.

The Ottoman Empire, a land empire established by the Turks, was also a country where Islam was the state religion. It destroyed the Roman Empire in the 15th century and spanned three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. At that time, it included the entire Balkan Peninsula, the Asian Peninsula, the Middle East and most of North Africa.

It's all his territory.

It directly controlled the land passage from the entire Western Europe to the East. It was a veritable super land power. However, it began to gradually decline after the 17th century. Its territory continued to be encroached by many countries such as Tsarist Russia, Britain and France, and it was not completely overthrown until about 1922.

Hamid II is the current monarch of the Ottoman Empire. He established a constitutional monarchy in the early days. Throughout the 19th century, the emergence and rise of the Nazis directly swept many countries in the world. The Ottoman Empire was naturally not immune, and Western countries also adopted ideological

The invasion allowed the Ottoman Empire to deal with domestic uprisings while using troops to resist encroachment by other countries.

In 1829, the Greek War of Independence broke out. Finally, with the active intervention of Britain, France, and Russia, Greece declared its independence. Subsequently, Serbia, Montenegro, Wallachia, and Moldova declared independence from the Ottoman Empire until the end of the Russo-Turkish War.

, the complete independence of Serbia, Romania, Montenegro and Bulgaria was officially established.

In addition, after the Ottoman Empire occupied Egypt, the British army occupied Egypt under the pretext of rectifying public security. At that time, Egypt and Sudan were still provinces of the Ottoman Empire in North Africa. However, in the 19th century, among the major empires,

None of them adopted complete occupation, which was mainly about the balance of power. At the same time, each country hoped to take advantage of the decline of the Ottoman Empire to increase its influence in its region and ultimately achieve the goal of territorial expansion.

But at this time, Britain tried its best to suppress them, and sometimes took the initiative to help the Ottoman Empire. Both parties jointly controlled the rights in the eastern Mediterranean.

The Ottoman Empire at this time, like the late Qing Dynasty in the East, under the leadership of 60-year-old Hamid II, became the darkest era in the history of the Ottoman Empire, which can be called a period of tyranny.

According to years of accumulated intelligence analysis, when Hamid II came to the throne, the Ottoman Empire had already been in a shaky state due to the slow domestic economic development. In addition, conflicts among ethnic groups arose, and bloody suppression became a

The only means of Hamid II's tyranny, so in the second year after Hamid II came to the throne, the Russo-Turkish War broke out.

After three major battles, the Tsarist Empire broke through the Danube River defense line. During the Russo-Turkish War, the Ottoman Empire declared defeat and signed a surrender treaty. As the world's largest empire, the British Empire could not tolerate the independent annexation of the Tsarist Russian Empire, so the British

So they sailed the naval fleet directly to the Golden Horn.

However, in the end, through the mediation of the then German Prime Minister Bismarck, who is now the Foreign Minister of the Far East, a plan was reached to jointly conquer the Ottoman Empire. The Russian Empire protected Bulgaria, the British took Cyprus, and Austria also took the opportunity to include Bosnia and Herzegovina as a sphere of influence. The Ottoman Empire

The empire's international dominance plummeted, and it became the famous Sick Man of West Asia.
