In view of this situation, the Sar country is a little impatient. They know very well that the entry of these vital materials into the two countries will greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.How to block this transportation channel has become a heart disease for the Saar people.Soon Persia, instigated by Saar, joined the Allied Powers.

Persia was originally a place of game between the Salteutons. Later, in order to ease the relationship within the Allied Powers, the Saaras and Rakshasa negotiated, and the two sides divided their spheres of influence.From then on, the northern part of Persia became the sphere of influence of the Raksha Kingdom, while the southern part belonged to the Saar Kingdom.

After the turmoil in the Raksha country, the army of the Western Special Zone occupied the entire central continent, cutting off the land connection between the Raksha country and Persia, so the Saars took the opportunity to completely control Persia.Now that the Ottoman Empire has become the lifeline of the Allies, the Saar naturally want to cut it off.

However, since the failure of the sea battle against the Ottoman Empire in [-], Churchill was forced to resign.The power of the Saar people in the Mediterranean Sea and Egypt was severely damaged, making it difficult for them to attack the Ottoman Empire alone. At this time, the Allied Powers naturally thought of their vassals.

In the eyes of the powers of the Allied Powers, the army of the Ottoman Empire was very weak. Apart from its geographical advantage, it could only be regarded as a mob at best.If the puppet regime in a neutral position can be mobilized to send troops nearby and besiege the Ottoman Empire from several directions at the same time, the kingdom of Saar will also send troops from Egypt, and the encirclement will be enough to force the Ottoman Empire to surrender.

It was based on this judgment that the Saars encouraged the Sultan Ahmed of the Khajar Dynasty in Persia to announce his joining the Allied Powers and attack the Ottoman Empire with all his troops.At the same time, the Durrani dynasty in Afghanistan supported by the Saar Kingdom and the Aziz tribe in Saudi Arabia sent troops together to encircle the Ottoman Empire with all their strength.

As the main communication link between the Central Continent and the Eastern and Western Continents, the army of the Ottoman Empire was weak, how could Zhao Shouhong not know.What he thinks now is mainly to make money desperately from the two major military groups, and at the same time prolong the time of the war as much as possible. This is his established strategy.In order to maintain the lifeline of the Allies, Zhao Shouhong had already begun to arm the Ottoman Empire.

Many weapons were secretly sold to the Ottoman Empire by Zhao Shouhong during the transportation. Under his suggestion, the Teutonic Kingdom also sent many officers to train this small army.The Teutonic Kingdom also knew the significance of this lifeline, so they spared no effort to train the Ottoman army to rapidly improve their quality.There is no problem with the fighting spirit of the Ottoman soldiers, coupled with Teutonic training and sophisticated equipment supplements, this army has quickly undergone fundamental changes.

Now the White Luocha army in the Caucasus, under the command of Denikin, is attacking Hongluo with all its strength, and is not interested in the Ottoman Empire at all.The Ottoman Empire was able to escape and concentrate all its main forces to deal with attacks from several directions.As the top military advisor of the Teutonic State in the Ottoman Empire, Lieutenant General Ludendorff proposed to avoid the real and attack the false, first to annihilate all the way and then discuss other strategic deployments.

The Ottoman army resisted steadily against the Saudi and Egyptian Saar forces, but put the main force in the east.The Persian army invaded the territory of the Ottoman Empire, but was soon ambushed by the main force of the Ottoman army. After a series of battles, the Persian army, which was not strong in combat effectiveness, was completely lost, and the country was in panic.

The reinforcements of the Afghan army were lured again. The Ottoman army pretended to attack the Persian capital Tehran with the whole army, and lured the Afghan army to cut off the Ottoman army's logistics supply line.The two countries, which had lost their large forces, were soon annexed by the Ottoman Empire, and a vanguard even advanced to the border of Zhaini, which made the Saar army stationed in Zhaini nervous for a while.

The Saar army stationed in Zhaini has too heavy a task of maintaining stability and it is difficult to counterattack. They can only strictly guard the border to prevent the other side from attacking.The Sman army ignored this. They once again swung their troops to the west to wipe out Saudi Arabia and took full control of the Nejd area. Then Lieutenant General Ludendorff concentrated his forces to attack the Sinai Peninsula and drove the Saar people across the Suez Canal. .

The Ottoman army's clean combination of punches made the Saar people dizzy, and a group of Middle Eastern boys fell one after another, and the Ottoman Empire increased its territory.The Saars planned to ask Hualan's participating army to send troops to help them defend Zhaini and wait for an opportunity to counterattack Persia, but the Gauls disagreed.

Now the ground battle in the western continent is at a critical juncture. The land of Gaul is about to be lost, but the Saar people only care about their own interests and want the Hualan army to help them guard the colony.Not to mention the Gaul country, even the White Eagle country disagreed with this approach.

In order to take care of the emotions of their allies, the Saar had no choice but to withdraw this idea, and at the same time urged the participating troops to join the battlefield as soon as possible.Soon the [-] troops led by Xu Shuzheng will set off in advance. As the first advance team, they will cross the vast Eastern Ocean on a freighter and go to the White Eagle Kingdom for the next stage of training. weapons.Afterwards, this force will cross the mainland of the White Eagle Country, board a ship from New York and go directly to the front line of the Gaul Kingdom.

Chapter 687 Calling for Arrears

Just when the participating army entered the White Eagle Country, Chen Wenbao, the representative of the Hanxing Group Company in the western mainland, unexpectedly appeared in Istanbul.The person who met with Chen Wenbao was Talat Pasha, Minister of Internal Affairs of the Ottoman Empire, who had considerable business contacts with him, and he was one of the Big Three of the Turkish Al-Shabaab.

After the Turkish bourgeois revolution in 1908, the regime of the Ottoman Empire gradually came into the hands of Enver, Talat Pasha and Jemal Pasha. Muhammad V gradually took control of the state power.Although the Ottoman Empire of this era apparently formulated a constitution, established a parliament, and established a constitutional monarchy government, the real power was in the hands of the Big Three.

The Interior Minister, one of the Big Three, Mehmet Talat Pasha, has historically been a short-tempered, simple-minded figure.He expressed unwarranted concern about the possibility of the formation of a fifth column of Armenians in the empire, and ordered the arrest of Armenian leaders to implement the Tesir law, and began the mass deportation and massacre of Armenians, forcibly taking thousands of them to camps in the Syrian desert.

This action eventually turned into genocide. During the war, an estimated 150 million Armenians died due to starvation, lack of water, exposure to the sun, and thieves and plunder. The history of later generations is called the Armenian Genocide.

The Armenians who rose up to resist later responded with the Van resistance war and the establishment of the Western Armenian government.The Ottoman government accused the Armenians of colluding with the invading Rakshasa army in western Anatolia, because there were Armenian volunteers in the Rakshasa army.

The retrograde behavior of the Albatross in Turkey made the Ottoman Empire more turbulent, and domestic uprisings were raging, among which the Saudi family was the most powerful, and they soon occupied most of the territory of the Arabian Peninsula.By 1918, the only remaining territories of the Ottoman Empire in the Arabian Peninsula were Yemen and Medina. After the signing of the "Mudlos Armistice Agreement", the Ottoman Empire was forced to surrender Yemen and Medina, and Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, which the Ottoman Empire captured after the Rakshasa Revolution in 1917, had to be surrendered together.

Of course, this is the history of the space without Zhao Shouhong. In this era, because of the full support of the Western Special Zone and the Teutonic Kingdom, the Ottoman Empire was several times stronger than in history.In the previous battles, the Saudi family was exterminated, Persia and Afghanistan were completely controlled, and even the Caucasus line of defense disappeared because of the early establishment of Hongluo.Today's Ottoman Empire's surrounding war situation is extremely good, and the power of the Allied Powers in the Middle East has shrunk extremely.

However, Chen Wenbao did not come to Istanbul this time to congratulate them on their war achievements.Seeing Talat Pasha, Chen Wenbao smiled and saluted: "Dear Lord Mohammad, we meet again."

"Oh, my dear friend, I don't know what good things you brought me this time?" Seeing Chen Wenbao's arrival, Talat Pasha's face was full of surprise.In the past few years, every time Chen Wenbao came, he would bring him some advanced weapons.With these weapons, the Ottoman army has achieved such results, so every time Chen Wenbao comes, he is very welcome.

Chen Wenbao smiled and said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint Lord Mohammed this time. I am not here to discuss arms sales, nor to deliver goods."

"Dear Mr. Chen, you came to Istanbul this time for fun, right?" Talat Pasha made a joke that he thought was very humorous, but Chen Wenbao's next words made his expression change immediately. Get livid.

"I'm sorry Lord Mohammad. Actually, I came this time to ask your country to redeem its promise. According to our last business agreement, the Sman Empire needs to pay for the purchase of weapons." Chen Wenbao still maintained a smiling face, Said calmly.

"How much is it in total?" Talat Pasha said with a wry smile on his face. Those advanced weapons were very fun to use, and they made all the Allied forces howl, but the price was ridiculously expensive.Now that it was time to pay, he was naturally unwilling.

"We have provided your country with a total of 47 Type 6000 rifles and 750 million rounds of bullets. Twenty thousand Type 12 submachine guns, 230 continuous-fire Mauser pistols, and [-] million rounds of bullets. Eighty-millimeter mortars [-] guns, [-] shells, [-] [-]-caliber mountain guns, [-] shells, [-] [-]mm howitzers, [-] shells.” Chen Wenbao didn’t even need to look at the accounts , without blinking an eye, he began to explain to Talat Pasha the accounts of the weapons he had shot.

"According to our agreed price, rifles and bullets are worth 220 million Chinese yuan, submachine guns, pistols and bullets are worth 150 million Chinese yuan. Mortars and artillery shells are worth 250 million Chinese yuan, mountain guns and shells 580 million Chinese yuan, howitzers and artillery shells 910 million Chinese yuan, and the total price of all weapons is 110 Chinese yuan." Every time Chen Wenbao said a number, Talat Pasha's facial muscles twitched, In the end his countenance completely changed.

After several years of war, the Ottoman Empire has long been financially exhausted, because the war has destroyed economic development, and the annual tax revenue that the country can collect has dropped to less than 2000 million dinars.According to the currency conversion of Dinar and Saar Pound, it is basically equivalent to Chinese Yuan.

The weapon cost of more than 7000 million Chinese yuan is not too much in the eyes of later generations, and it is not even possible to buy a fighter jet.But in this era when the currency system was relatively high, that was equivalent to three and a half years of national fiscal revenue of the Ottoman Empire. Even the most powerful Elizabeth-class battleship in Saar Kingdom could buy two ships.The Ottoman Empire could not afford such a high cost of weapons.

"Can't this fee be delayed for a while? I promise to return it in full after one year." Talat Pasha said with a blushing face.It's not that he doesn't want to renege on his debts, but as the leader of the allied powers, the Teutonic State has taken good care of the Western Special Region. If he reneges on his debts, he may be reprimanded by William II.

What's more, today's Western Special Zone has almost become the only source of supplies for the Allied Powers.Once they annoy others, cut off the supply route, or the Western Special Zone simply helps the central government send troops to attack the Ottoman Empire, they will not be able to eat and walk around.

Looking at the rather embarrassed Talat Pasha, Chen Wenbao shook his head and said: "Although I have a good personal relationship with Sir, this business is not mine, and I am just running errands. If Sir does not pay the fee, I am afraid the Han Xing Group Company will handle matters according to the contract."

"Contract?" Talat Pasha was taken aback. When he first signed the contract, he only saw that the price of advanced weapons was moderate, and he didn't look carefully at other clauses at all.Now that Chen Wenbao talked about the terms of the contract, he didn't know much about it.

Chapter 688 Land for Weapons

"Yes, according to the terms of the contract, the weapons we sell can only be deposited for a maximum of fourteen months. If your country fails to pay the payment, we will charge an additional 5.00% of the total payment as a late payment fee every month. Late payment fee It can be accumulated on a rolling basis, with no upper limit." Chen Wenbao explained the content of the contract to the other party.

Talat Pasha paced back and forth, he knew that since Chen Wenbao had said it, there must be such a clause in the contract.If one's own party insists on not paying, the consequences must be very serious.

Seeing Talat Pasha bowed his head and said nothing, Chen Wenbao said, "Actually, my lord has a solution."

"What?" Talat Pasha raised his head and looked at Chen Wenbao in surprise.

Chen Wenbao cleared his throat and said, "Actually, this plan was conveyed by me on behalf of Mr. Zhao Shouhong, the chief of the Western Special Zone. He said that if the Ottoman Empire cannot pay in full, it can be repaid with land."

"Use land?" Talat Pasha heard for the first time that the material payment could still be paid in this way.

Chen Wenbao explained: "Of course, as a representative of Hanxing Group, I have no right to sign any land exchange contract with you, because it does not conform to international practice. According to Mr. Zhao Shouhong's idea, we can send a professional The people will evaluate the land, and the Western Special Zone will make the payment. The land will be ceded to the Western Special Zone by means of a treaty signed by both parties.”

"How can this be done?" Talat Pasha stood up blushing and said, "I will never sell out the sovereignty of the country for this small amount of money."

"Don't be impatient, my lord. No one will ask you to betray your national sovereignty." Chen Wenbao dissuaded: "What we are asking for is not your country's land. Didn't the Ottoman Empire occupy a large area of ​​enemy land recently? For example, the land of Afghanistan , we can make a price to buy.”

"That's right." Talat Pasha's eyes lit up: "The land of Persia is also there."

Chen Wenbao shook his head and said, "We won't accept Persian land."

"Why?" Talat Pasha asked curiously.

Chen Wenbao explained: "According to our intelligence, all the nobles of the royal family of the Durrani dynasty in Afghanistan were killed by your country's army. If the Western Special Administrative Region bought the land here, no one would ask legally. The two princes of the Khajar dynasty in Persia are still in custody in Istanbul. Once they ask for land in the future and sue the Western District to the International Court, we cannot justify it. Mr. Zhao is a businessman, and he does not want any No troubles, so as long as the Qajar dynasty has heirs, he will never interfere in Persian affairs."

"This is not easy to handle. I will immediately find someone to kill the two princes." Talat Pasha complained, and then he sat down again: "Of course we still need to negotiate on this matter, and finally confirm the plan You can send personnel to evaluate the land value first, and we also need to look at the valuation before making a final decision."

"Of course. In fact, our evaluators have already conducted calculations on these two places. They will be able to arrive in Istanbul within five days. They will also be accompanied by government representatives from the Western Special Zone." Chen Wenbao is still not in a hurry. Said not slowly.

Talat Pasha was furious because of this, it turned out that Chen Wenbao had been talking in circles for a long time, and he had already prepared for it, but waited until he got into it.But don't be angry if you think about it. If you don't use this method to repay the debt, it is estimated that the Ottoman Empire will not be able to pay for it.The current Talat Pasha feels that his mind is extremely flexible. He thinks that if the Ottoman Empire has maintained its victory, as long as it sells part of the occupied land to the Western Special Zone, it will be a worthless business.

Talat Pasha didn't dare to delay, he ordered someone to treat Chen Wenbao well, and at the same time went to discuss with the other two.Although the current Ottoman Empire is governed by the Big Three on the surface, Enver is the one who really has the highest power. Talat Pasha is looking for Enver this time.

"Exchange land for weapons?" Enver frowned, he didn't know if it was the right thing to do.Siman's army has gone through hard battles, and if he just handed over most of the land he won, he would be really unwilling.However, most of the weapons and ammunition purchased now consume more than half. If he doesn't establish a good relationship with the other party, and the supply of weapons is cut off, he is very afraid that Thrall will counterattack and come back.

Although the number of Saar people is not large, their combat effectiveness is still good, not to mention that they can obtain sufficient supplies from the mainland, and they also have a lot of heavy artillery.Once the Saar recruited a large number of servants in Egypt, supplemented by a large number of heavy artillery, Enver didn't know if he could stop it.

"I think this plan is feasible. As long as the war can be won, the loss of this land is insignificant, and we will gain greater benefits." Talat Pasha said.

Enver nodded. The situation in the Allied countries is very good now, and the Allied countries are unable to fight back on all fronts.Now as long as the Ottoman Empire has sufficient weapons, he can guarantee that he will be able to invade Egypt and regain the North African territory that was divided up by the great powers in one fell swoop.

Thinking of the vast land of Egypt and the massive wealth generated by the Suez Canal, Enver felt his whole body burn.If the Allied Powers can be defeated in this war and the Ottoman Empire can occupy the Suez Canal, the national finances will double in the future.
