Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 408

"The Ottoman Empire relies a lot on British weapons. As the Ottoman Empire's geographical location, it is destined to become a land of four wars, with a wide range of defense. As a country with great demand for weapons, based on the diversification of security elements, the Ottoman Empire also It is impossible to cut off the arms trade with Britain.

The fact that the Ottoman Empire imported weapons from Britain was not only based on the fact that it had used British weapons for a long time, but also revealed the grand strategy of the Ottoman Empire not wanting to offend the British.

Although the UK's attitude towards the Ottoman Empire is to exert strong pressure, the UK also needs the Ottoman Empire for too much use, even more than the Ottoman Empire needs the UK.

In fact, to be serious, in this entire Europe, apart from the Tsarist Russia Empire and the Ottoman Empire, in fact, other countries are maintaining good communication with the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire, which is obviously on the edge of Europe, is not as urgent a threat to European countries as the Tsarist Russian Empire, which is eager to expand. Moreover, even all countries agree more or less with the British approach - preventing Tsarist Russia from going south to the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and avoiding Tsarist Russia. After the empire became a superpower on land, it was still rising at sea.

Where did the confidence of the Ottoman Empire come from?

Interest is the primary consideration. The Ottoman Empire's military equipment mainly comes from the British Empire, so national security is inseparable from the British Empire. In this situation, if you turn your back on Britain completely, condemn and be completely friendly with the Tsarist Russia Empire, you will be self-destructing the Great Wall - after all, you will no longer be able to get Britain's advanced weapons and equipment, and look around the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire on Crete. The British in the Mediterranean Fleet and Suez Canal Egypt will not easily let go of the threat to the Ottoman Empire, not to mention that the eastern sub-Indian continent has fallen into British hands, where the British army is said to be strong.

Therefore, it is easy for the Ottoman Empire to assert its self-reliance on Britain, but it will damage the foundation of the Ottoman Empire's defense. Shaking the foundation of national security, based on the security foundation of the Ottoman Empire, and based on national security considerations, the Ottoman Empire will naturally not seriously anger the United Kingdom, or even turn against each other.

The Ottoman Empire, which has been protested by the United Kingdom and other Western European countries as its partners in Beijing and has the strategic significance of jointly curbing the Tsarist Russian Empire's southward serelated activities, has maintained its traditional relationship with the United Kingdom and continued to have frequent foreign exchanges with Western European countries. A good strategy, and at the same time properly improving the relationship with the Russian Empire, can give the Ottoman Empire room to turn around, not just hanging on the big tree of Britain - to death.

Russell, the British foreign secretary who recently visited the Ottoman Empire, and Edmund Russell, the foreign minister of the French Empire. Both Lu and Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister Reichberg have indicated that these countries are willing to continue to maintain relations with the Ottoman Empire.

Even Napoleon III and William I wrote a personal letter to Abdul Aziz I Sultan, expressing their attitude towards maintaining friendship with the Ottoman Empire.

Interestingly, even though many countries bombed and persuaded and threatened the Ottoman Empire and the Tsarist Empire to end the war, they still called Abdul Aziz I Sultan back. I have to say, The king of the Ottoman Empire has a very foreign teacher and command, which has caused headaches in Britain and many Western European countries.

It seems that in this Russian-Austrian war, the Ottoman Empire seems to have lost its brightness and become the biggest loser in this war crisis. However, if this diplomacy is successful, perhaps the Ottoman Empire will indeed break away from being isolated from the decision-making circle of European powers in the past and become a real meaning. the European powers.

At the same time, because the French Empire invaded the Siamese Empire, among the small and medium-sized countries in the world, an anti-Russian united front was formed with the previous Crimean War, and systematic sanctions were imposed on the Tsarist Russian Empire. Initiated dissatisfaction with France.

At this level, the death of the Ottoman Empire and the Tsarist Russia is definitely not a good solution, and this is obviously the best chance to get out.

It was this idea that made the Ottoman Empire hard to bear the British pressure at this time, always maintain a stable position in negotiations, insist on negotiating with Tsarist Russia, never relax, and at the same time use international doubts to test the Tsarist Empire and let them and Tsarist Russia. increase the advantage in negotiation. "

On July 5, 1868, the world-famous commentator on current affairs, Herman. Van Peron published his opinion on the latest Ottoman and Tsarist empires negotiating and preparing to sign an end to the war in the European Times.

As the most concerned current affairs expert in the world, every time Van Peron's comments are reprinted and published in newspapers of various countries, it can be seen that his global social influence has reached the level of a top expert.

Many people even asserted that the influence of the kings of many countries on the world may not be as good as him.

Because his articles have too many audiences. Up to the king of the country, members of the cabinet and governments at all levels of the country, the decree of the common people, students and civil organizations.

Many of these people are from Herman. In Van Peron's point of view, they found some neutrality that other experts did not have, which led them to Hermann. Van Peron naturally chose trust, at least for now Van Peron will not speak to the world from the perspective of the Dutch government because he belongs to the Netherlands~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is also the reason why people from all over the world trust him.

"Abdul Aziz I and Queen Victoria could not reach a consensus, but it did not hinder the two countries and their writing. In order to help the Ottoman Empire, Britain's largest ally in the Middle East, to achieve a firmer pro-British policy, the United Kingdom gave Ottomans in the past. The empire has a large amount of assistance. I believe that after this time, the United Kingdom may increase its support for the Ottoman Empire. In that case, the Ottoman Empire will still gain a lot in the United Kingdom.

In addition to the United Kingdom, the Ottoman Empire is said to send a senior team to visit Paris and Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam, Madrid, Lisbon, Rome, Milan, etc., almost including the capitals of European countries, and finally will use this whirlwind and the Russian Empire Alexander II. In person, the contract seemed to be chosen in The Hague. Obviously, the Ottoman Empire wanted the International Court of Justice in The Hague to test the Russian Empire, to gather the last European power to make Alexander II feel the pressure of the Ottoman Empire.

At the same time, I might guess that the Ottoman Empire is testing pressure on the International Court of Justice in The Hague, asking the organization to let the Ottoman Empire enter the organization's review process by sending gifts.

Here, I have to say that the Ottoman Empire did a good job of this move. The United Kingdom could not get a tough commitment to Russia from the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, the Tsarist Empire also needed to make real relaxation and concessions to the Ottoman Empire. Perhaps, there are other countries in Western Europe that are also difficult to achieve.”
