Zahatai was also very nervous when he returned to his room.

This is the first time that he took the initiative to defend a minister before Chitade spoke.

Over the years, whenever Qitade was not in the capital, he was in charge of the rear, and all matters were handled in an orderly manner. In fact, his position had been confirmed. Moreover, several brothers who were threatening his status were all assigned overseas

The colony has not been in the local area for a long time and does not pose any threat to his position.

But he still felt a little nervous.

He knew that his prestige was completely incomparable to Qitad. If Qitad was the sun at noon, he would be just a candle at most.

But this empire will eventually be passed on. Although Qitade has always set an example to reduce the imperial power, this was in the 18th century, and the idea of ​​imperial power was still deeply rooted, let alone an empire founded by tribes from the East?

Thinking of this, Zahatai calmed down a little.

At this moment, Zhang Henxue's face appeared again.

To be honest, Zahatai doesn't like his face very much.

In addition to his face being somewhat similar to Qitade, he also has his always cold look - you are just a small secretary, and according to the grade, you only have the seventh grade, what qualifications are you qualified to show off?

Although Qitade has always emphasized that people around him must not form cliques, you are always better at being kind to others - did he do this deliberately according to Qitade's request, just because he is afraid of being attracted by outsiders?

"Your Highness"

When he saw Zahatai, a smile appeared on Zhang Henxue's face.

"Your Majesty let you go"

Zahatai nodded. He had been trained by Qitade since he was a child and was also a crown prince. Naturally, he could not have the same knowledge as a person like Zhang Henxue, so he nodded and followed him.

Study room.

The father and son sat opposite each other for a while, and Qitad said, "I have decided that you will lead the army to attack the Ottoman this time"

Zahatai was overjoyed. Over the years, he had been dealing with government affairs. He was not very familiar with government affairs, but he was basically the same.

What he lacks is military merit. Although he was the one who led the army when he attacked Algiers last time, he was a small country after all, and he had an absolute advantage. Now he is one of the most powerful countries in the world. He is still a battle to destroy the country. If he wins the battle, he will win the battle.

, His position as the crown prince is not only more stable, but it is enough for him to immediately replace Qitade as the emperor.

Qitad looked at him quietly, "What else do you think needs attention?"

Zahatai straightened his chest, "According to the previous plan, we will not take action immediately when the Austrians officially launch an attack, but we will take action when the Austrians enter Bulgaria."

"If the Austrians really arrive in Bulgaria, it means that the Ottoman army arranged on the border has been defeated, and they must transfer the troops arranged near Istanbul to Bulgaria to stop the Austrians' further actions"

"At this time, our army can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The two iron armored fleets are all dispatched, bringing one army with the army and the other army stands in Odessa. It is only a matter of time before Istanbul is taken down."

/p>

Instead of responding to him directly, Qitad asked, "Do you think that Austrians can hit Bulgaria soon?"

"This..."

Qitad picked up a pack of cigarettes produced by Truqin. This cigarette is obviously specially supplied. The cigarette box is golden and there is a red dragon on it. The front is "Truqin" and the north is

It's the national flag.

Zahatai quickly picked up the lighter on the table and lighted it for him.

Qitad took a sip and said, "Don't you give me one?"

Zahatai was speechless for a moment. His mother Abahai kept teaching him not to smoke. When he thought of taking over this great country, he rarely even drank wine.

But since his father said that, he had to pick up one too.

In the smoke, the father and son started a conversation.

"Tai'er, you're thinking too simple. Let's talk about the meeting just now. Once you determine the specific action date, the people here will naturally keep the secret, but after they go back, they will ask their subordinates to prepare in advance, and the army will not

Say, ammunition warehouses, grain warehouses, and winter clothing warehouses must say hello in advance”

"Otherwise the temporary convening will not be completed, and they will not say what they are for, but these people will definitely not be able to control themselves after returning. If you are interested in a careful analysis, you will come to the conclusion that the Truqins are going to use troops."

/p>

"Military materials in our country are stored separately, and there are only a few types, but each type is divided into many subcategories. Each type has different packaging, weight, transportation mode, and maintenance measures, so it is impossible to keep them all the time.

A large number of people were staring there, and they could only temporarily draw the "

"Transporting these materials to ships also requires special people. It is not just a few lieutenants. You must say hello in advance."

Zahatai quickly said, "Father, it's the child who fucked him"

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Back to this war, the news that the Three Kingdoms will attack the Ottoman has been revealed for a long time. Whether it is revealed from our country or from Austria, it is possible, but you

Have you ever thought about why European countries and even Ottomans didn't respond?"

"Father, do you mean that this war itself is a test of the reactions of various countries?"

"It's almost the same, but not just these, especially the Ottomans in the vortex. Their reaction was so calm. This was obviously a problem. Besides, Aga Khan had taken away a small half of their territory, but they were still as stable as Mount Tai.

Didn't you feel any surprise?"

"Father, I have heard that it seems that Hamid I said that as long as Aga Khan does not enter Anatolia and the holy land, he will let Aga Khan ask for it. Although I do not know why he said that, the Islamic people

It's really hard to guess"

(In real history, Hamid I also said this, and later because Agahan was assassinated by the Persian army, he did not continue to advance)

"Is that true? If it were Persians alone, it would be fine, because Hamid I obviously knew that Aga Khan could only fight to Baghdad and El Group Rum at most. If we go deeper into it, it would probably be the death of the Persian army."

/p>

"What's more, the Baghdad region is where they repeatedly compete with the Persians. I'm talking about Austria, which is obviously stronger than the Persians. Isn't he afraid of losing the entire European region?"

"Father, do the Ottomans really have foreign aid?"

"Ah, I don't know, but what I know is that the Ottomans are not as weak as we think, their roots are not in Serbia, nor in Baghdad, but in Greece, Bulgaria and Ankara, these three places they

The rule of

"Although those Sipasi nobles are already corrupt, once they face the critical moment of foreign invasion, they will still fight for it"

"Their military system, Jenicheri is equivalent to the Royal Guards, Sipasi is equivalent to the manor nobles of European countries, and the border guards are equivalent to the green camp soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. Before, when we fought with them, we were for them.

The one guarding the border was actually the Nogai people. Because the Nogai people turned against each other, we succeeded successfully”

"We have never met their real border guards with white Europeans. You know, these white farmers seem very pitiful under the rule of the Ottomans, but looking at it, the Ottomans' tolerance towards pagans

Still above Europeans”

"Their taxes are actually much lighter than those of European serfs. As far as I know, in Hungary, Bohemia, and Croatia, these three provinces belonging to Austrian provinces, were not the case of uprising because of dissatisfaction with the exploitation of the landlords in the estate.

Very rare”

"So, for the white farmers under the Ottomans, at least they still have land, and in Europe there are serfs..."

Zahatai suddenly thought of something, "Father, why didn't the Ottoman Sultan allow him to serve nearby? Wouldn't it be better to protect his hometown and work harder?"

Qitad nodded, "This is the second point I want to say. Ottoman and Austria both have some understanding of each other's strength. There has been no major war in recent decades. Obviously, they all think they do not have much advantage.

”

"So, for the Ottomans, if the local border guards were stationed in their hometown for a long time, it would be possible to evolve an army that attacked them. This situation would not happen if they were stationed in another place. When they were stationed in another place,

The relatives in their hometown actually became hostages”

"This is what I am worried about. Both sides are probably familiar with every military fort and every barracks on the border. They know their advantages and weaknesses. It is not easy for any party to break through this line of defense."

/p>

"The Austrians know better that for a long time, Europeans have wanted to regain what they call the Christ world, and Austria is the country that is most likely to accomplish this. Now the Austrians are obviously better than Ottoman in the military system and firearms in terms of Ottoman in terms of firearms

People are strong, but they still haven't done this. Isn't they want to do it?"

"It's not impossible, but as soon as we proposed to attack the Ottoman, although there were some twists and turns, the Austrians still agreed"

"Father, isn't it because of our powerful ally?"

"What a joke, Ottoman disappeared and Truchen came out again. What's the difference between them?"

"Father Emperor", Zahatai's face suddenly turned pale, "Do you mean that the Austrians pretended to agree to us and used our loan to form a new army?"

Qitad leaned back and leaned against a chair, watching the ceiling spit out a smoke ring.

"If Thanos had not arrived, I would not have thought so. The Ottoman European parts, especially Wallachia, Bulgaria and Serbia, are still very good places, all with rich resources and large populations.

Place"

"Now the German region, which was originally a mess, has hit the status of the Habsburg family with the sudden rise of Prussia. For the Austrian royal family, the Prussians threatened them far more than the Ottomans"

"A Prussia with a population of only five million has posed a threat to the Habsburg family. If they are allowed to develop like this, not only will the Habsburg family not exist, but the entire German region may be unified under the leadership of Prussia."

"Of course, the Habsburg family wants to do this, but unfortunately they are not able to catch up, so he can only try his best to prevent other electorate states from doing this."

"Of course, the British and French will not sit idly by and watch this happen"

"In this case, if we use our country's assistance to capture the above three places, Austria's strength will immediately increase greatly, and we will have the ability to stop Prussia, and perhaps it is possible to unify the entire German region."

"But the Olga from Austria that Thanos mentioned reminded me that the power of the Mysterious Society is indeed very powerful, but their influence obviously will not reach the great nobles of Europe, but will only affect those who have accepted France.

Small and medium-sized aristocrats, merchants, scholars of new ideas”

"They are rich, but they are not able to control the situation in Europe. Although there are so-called world factions among them, obviously none of them can reach that level at the moment"

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, I suspect that Olga is not controlled by the Mysterious Society, but by the Austrian royal family"

"What are our actions?"
