The words of Grand Duke Sinai obviously hurt the nerves of the Persians. If they weren't afraid of the Ming Dynasty being dissatisfied, the Persians would have wished to be closed down.

A turtle can be used as a turtle, but it cannot be said to be not on the surface.

After saying this, Grand Duke Sinai withdrew from the main hall. For him, he was not afraid of the Persians being dissatisfied. After all, behind him was the powerful Ottoman Empire. Over the years, the two sides had never won many wars.

These Persians were too greedy and wanted to return to the Baghdad area, where a railway to Istanbul was being built.

The Ottoman Empire spent so much money on this railway, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the lifeline of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire will never give up on Baghdad, and it will be spared even if the negotiations fail.

The Grand Duke of Sinai came to represent the Ottoman Empire. It was not because the other party had always known the Ming Dynasty's plan, but just felt that his army was fighting against Tsarist Russia in the north, and the Ming Dynasty's attitude was unclear.

Moreover, the situation in the north is not so optimistic after the beginning of winter, so some people think that they need to be on guard and try to repair their relationship with Persia.

Even if we cannot form an alliance, at least we can find out the details of Persia so that the other party will not have the intention to beat them.

The reason is that this important railway was built from Basra in the Persian Gulf.

This person may be very difficult to help you accomplish things, but it will be much easier to make things worse for you.

Although Persia is weak, it has the strength to cut off the Persian Gulf waterway at any time.

Even if all the elite Ottoman navy were revealed, it would not be able to change this ending.

Because the Persians didn't need to win at all, they just kept harassing and destroying like pirates.

As long as the Persian Gulf is not peaceful, those merchants will not dare to enter the Persian Gulf, and even pass by the Persian Gulf will be worried.

In this way, the role of this railway will be greatly reduced.

After the Grand Duke of Sinai left, Persia also returned to its own houses. The reception was held in the morning, and in the evening, Zhu Cilang received the news.

The Jinyiwei here judged himself before receiving the order and should do his best to destroy this alliance.

But after Zhu Cixuan received the news, he actually wanted them to form an alliance. He didn't want to deal with the Shafei Dynasty. Didn't the other party provide a reason for the Ming Dynasty?

For the Ming Dynasty, building a railway connecting Asia and Africa was also of strategic significance to the Ming Dynasty.

For the Ming Dynasty, there are only two countries that stand in front of the Ming Dynasty, one is the Ottoman Empire and the other is the Shaphie Dynasty in Persia.

The current railway in the Ming Dynasty has extended to the Indus River Basin. Just cross the Persian Plateau, then enter the Mesopotamia, then cross the Yelushalen Damascus, enter the Sinai Peninsula and cross the Suez Canal to reach the Nile River south. Isn’t this connected to the African Railway?

In the last few thousand miles, the Ottoman Empire was stepping up construction. Only the Shafei Dynasty did not enter the country, and that was the case, and the Ming Dynasty did not allow the construction of railways or telegrams. It was simply not taking the Ming Dynasty seriously.

If this place hadn't been a waste of fighting now, Zhu Cilang would have sent troops to deal with the other party long ago.

However, judging from the information sent back by the Jinyiwei, the two sides have great resistance to forming an alliance, and the probability of a negotiation is extremely low. Even if there is hope for a negotiation, if there is no external force intervention, it will take several years to get started.

The other party won’t be able to reach an agreement without the help of the Ming Dynasty. What else can I do to be excited about?

It would be easy if the Ming Dynasty wanted the two sides to reach a quick negotiation. As long as they launched an attack on the Ottoman Empire and gathered heavy troops on the Persian border, the two sides would definitely reach a consensus soon.

But as long as Zhu Cilang is not stupid, he will definitely not do this.

Send the news to the military headquarters to see how the army deduces it. After thinking about it, Zhu Cixuan also copied the news to the cabinet, which now has the right to know these major military news.

Moreover, with the command of the cabinet, maybe we can come up with some good solutions.

Sure enough, after the information was copied, when there was no news from the military headquarters, the cabinet had already sent the first suggestion, which was to suggest that Zhu Cixuan use Persian carpets and increase the price to purchase in large quantities.

At the same time, with the help of agricultural advantages in the Indus River Basin and Ganges region, the grain price in Persia is lower than the cost of local food cultivation.

Zhu Cixuan knew as soon as he heard this, what kind of commercial means was this, which reduced the area of ​​grain production by prompting the Persians to produce carpets in large quantities.

Because the Persian region is mountainous and mainly animal husbandry, if the Ming Dynasty purchased Persian carpets at a high price, it would prompt more people to raise sheep.

At the same time, because the grain prices are low, more people will think that growing grain is not cost-effective, and growing grain is worse than buying grain. After a long time, once the other party intends to oppose the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will stop purchasing carpets and cut off the supply of grain.

Then the economic collapse of the entire Persia and insufficient food caused the country to fall into famine. Perhaps the opponent's strength would be reduced by half without the Ming Dynasty's attack, and even the Ming Dynasty would not have to take action due to the collapse of civil strife.

Plans are good plans, but they are too slow to take effect. If this method was used against the Persian Shafi Dynasty a few years ago, it would be the time to gain.

Now, the Ming Dynasty will start war with the Ottoman next year. No matter how stupid the Shafei Dynasty is, it will know that it is doomed. It will still be safe to do business with the Ming Dynasty and then hand over food security to the Ming Dynasty?

The military headquarters discussed overnight and gave the military headquarters' opinions early the next morning. Zhu Ciyang looked it up and asked Zhou Yuji: "Support the Shafei Dynasty's request and let him take back the sovereignty of Baghdad and other places?"

Zhou Yuji bowed: "That is, as the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Instead of letting the Shafei Dynasty fall to the Ottoman, it is better for the Ming Dynasty to take action in advance and let them fall to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will be like adding more than 100,000 friendly troops at once, and also reducing the troops to monitor the Shafei Dynasty."

Zhu Ciyang laughed: "What should we do with our railway? Should we give it to the Shafei Dynasty?"

Zhou Yuji nodded: "That is, if the Ming Dynasty did not aim to destroy the Ottoman Empire in this battle, I suggest that Your Majesty find a way to divert the attention of the Ottoman Empire.

After this battle, the Suez Canal was probably thrown to the Ming Dynasty, and the Mesopotamian Basin was thrown to the Shafi Dynasty.

Compared with the loss of the Suez Canal, the Ottoman Empire would definitely be even more dissatisfied with the loss of the Mesopotamian Basin, especially the railway. After all, the Shafei Dynasty was equivalent to taking advantage of the situation.

By then, the Ming Dynasty would be equivalent to uniting Tsarist Russia and the Shafi Dynasty to deal with the Ottoman Empire. Even if Europa chose to stand on the Ottoman side, the Ming Dynasty would have the support of the Shafi Dynasty and Tsarist Russia. The Shafi Dynasty was enough to contain half of the Ottoman Empire's military strength and did not pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty."
