After selling another country at a bargain, the Turks finally relied on the Crusaders sent by the Papal States. Ah, the South Italian Volunteers relied on the Prut River to block the Russians.

In fact, neither side even fought any serious. The Russians consumed too much ammunition in previous battles, (Kutuzov: I have saved a lot!) And Arendar Mustafa Pasha did the most important thing before surrendering. The thing is, all the materials carried by the Turkish army, especially ammunition, are consumed clean. In the end, when they surrendered, the Russians were full of thoughts that they would be able to obtain a sum by seizing them. As a result, a lot of weapons were seized, but ammunition was pitiful. As a result, the average number of shells allocated to each of the Russian cannons is less than five.

If there is a group of Sudanese soldiers on the opposite side, the Russians may still find a way to fight seriously to see if they can explode some potion-ah, ammunition. But the Italians...well, if after many years, the Russians hear that the enemy army on the opposite side is "cute Italians", then they don't need powerful political commissars to display their skills, and they will be directly morale.

Think about it, "Lovely Italian"! They always bring delicious Italian sausages. In addition, the Italians are versatile. Everyone knows one or two musical instruments. With them, they can rehearse a "Le Figaro's Wedding" in the prison camp. The whole army can have a lot of military bands all at once. Also, the Russian cooking class can all take a group rest-how good you say!

However, the Italians of this era are not the kind of "lovely Italians". In this era, there are many countries in Italy, and it is a very common thing to fight. But Italians, although notoriously slippery, are not honest , But the combat effectiveness is still guaranteed.

In addition, at the beginning, under the command of the old Marshal Suvorov, many Russian generals had also seen with their own eyes how the Northern Italians ravaged the Austrians in the defensive war. Although the Austrian insisted, it was a Frenchman in Italian clothes. But everyone knows that it is Italian. Since the northern Italians can fight so well, the southern Italians shouldn't be too bad...Well, thinking about it this way, and considering the current situation of the army, the Russians have the plan to accept it when they see it.

As for the South Italian Volunteers, well, they have no willingness to take the initiative to attack. After all, they are only to make money. If they are just confrontation, they can make money. Of course, it is better than fighting to make money.

So the two armies confronted each other across the Toprut River. At the same time, Russia and Turkey also started negotiations.

Of course, the Russians put forward a series of requirements with a big mouth. Any cessation of land and compensation is a basic operation. What else requires Turkey to allow Russian ships, including warships, to freely enter and exit the Black Sea Strait. It also requested Turkey to restore Hagia Sophia to its original appearance, that is, to rebuild it into an Orthodox church, and to remove all the minarets that were later illegally built by the Turks.

Regarding the request to restore the Aya Sophia Mosque to the Hagia Sophia, the Turks naturally rejected it without even thinking about it. If this kind of thing is agreed, then the legitimacy of the Turkish regime basically does not exist.

Of course, when the Russians made this request, they knew that the Turks could not agree to this request. This is just a wild price to put a little pressure on the Turks. It is also an excuse for Turkey to make concessions in other areas. Well, it means that the Turks can say to the country: "You see, we are still very capable of safeguarding national interests. We have strongly rejected their unreasonable demands... What, cedes land for compensation? This is not to blame us, it is mainly the previous one. The Sultan of Selim III was not religious enough. He did not honestly rely on his devotion to the true God to solve the problem, and went to engage in the wicked ways of those heretics... Think back then, why did we Turks win all battles? That is because we trust in faithfully. True God, if those who do some reform, the more they do it, the worse it will make the world..."

After such publicity, Turkey's new Sudanese traitor even sold a sense of tragedy. So many years later, there are still Turks who think that Sultan Mustafa IV is actually pretty good, and he can't be blamed for cedes land and compensation. Even on the Internet of later generations, something like "I don't know the difficulties of the four generations when I am young, but I know the true Sudan when I am older."

The remaining thing is to cede land compensation and navigation rights. According to the view of Sultan Mustafa IV, this matter was easy to talk about. Isn't it just cede land and pay compensation? We have a vast territory in Turkey, and we have everything, but we only need to measure Turkey's material resources and save the country's favor. Good point!

Sultan Mustafa IV said to his Grand Vizier Jevas Bashe Mimas Pasha: "My brother, Sultan Selim III, is far superior to me in terms of talent and wisdom. But he In the end it failed. Do you know why this is?"

Jevasbasi Mimaspar shook his head.

"Sultan Selim III is pursuing an unreachable goal. He spent too much time looking at the stars, but forgot what the earth is like." Mustafa IV Sultan also shook his head, "He He wanted to bring Turkey back to the great era of Suleiman the Great, but he didn't know that the times had changed!

He found that the pagan countries in Europe are rising rapidly, and they are becoming stronger day by day, but the star and moon flag of Turkey is not as dazzling as it was many years ago. So he tried to learn from the pagan countries, but did not consider that those countries were fundamentally different from Turkey.

The rise of those countries was largely at the cost of the weakening of religion, and the relationship between their kings and the church was completely different from ours. Their king has always been fighting for power with the church. The power of the church is weak, but the power of the government is stronger. But we are not the same. In our tradition, religion and government are one. To weaken religion is to weaken power. Perhaps his actions can indeed make Turkey stronger, but it will weaken our regime. Haha, my brother always felt that I was a bumpkin who had never seen the world before, thinking that I didn't know what the outside world had become. Ha ha……

The rise of the heathen countries was not only at the cost of the decline of religion, but also at the cost of the decline of the royal family. You see, in England, they were the first to chop off the king's head. Although they still retained the royal family, the power and majesty of the king has been trampled underfoot by the Parliament. At this cost, Britain once became the most powerful country in the world.

In order to surpass England, the French also chopped off the head of the king and the queen, and turned the kingdom into a republic-there will be no kings in the future.

After paying such a price, the French surpassed Britain and became the most powerful country in the world. So, if we learn from them and want to be as strong as them, what price do we have to pay? Is it like the United Kingdom, cut off the head of one sultan, and then throw it to the next sultan, a contract that stipulates what he can and cannot do; or like France, cut off the heads of the king and queen, and then turn Turkey into Into a republic?

No, if you want Turkey to be as strong as it was when Suleiman the Great, it is not enough to just be French. It may be necessary to sacrifice the entire Ottoman family. Therefore, the path my brother took is definitely an evil path. It is an evil way to protect Turkey, not Ottoman!

If Turkey’s ruler is not Ottoman, then even if Turkey is advanced and powerful, what is the point? The real difference between me and my cousin is whether to choose to protect Turkey or Ottoman. "

So the high-level Ottoman Turkey quickly agreed, that is to give priority to the protection of the Ottomans, followed by the protection of the nobles and priests of the Ottoman Empire, and finally take care of Turkey.

With this guiding ideology, the following situation can be imagined. However, the French jumped in. Not only did they keep encouraging the Turks, telling them that compensation can be considered, (Anyway, Turkey has no money and can only borrow from the French. Then, at least in this time and space, no one still dares to borrow money from the French The land is not repaid. The Russians can cut the land that has been occupied, but the part that is not occupied cannot be cut. Their attitude towards the Russians' right of navigation is even tougher.

"The Russian warships must not be allowed to enter the Mediterranean at will!" The French ambassador to Turkey simply stood up and directed Turkish diplomacy.

"But Mr. Ambassador, if we don't make concessions on this, the Russians will not agree. We can't beat them now..." Jevasbasi Mimaspasha explained.

As a result, the French ambassador immediately said: "The swords of the Russians are sharp. Are our French swords not sharp? Allowing Russian warships to enter the Mediterranean will harm our country’s interests. If your country cannot safeguard our country’s interests... Is your country going to see how we French defend the interests of France?"

Well, so the matter of navigation rights is really hard to talk about. No matter how extreme pressure the Russians may exert, the Turks will not let go. After all, the Russians are offended anyway. In any case, they will not become Turkey’s friends. Of course, if they find out in time who is plotting to overthrow the Sudan, it might make them temporarily friends. But this is only temporary. Geographically, they are inherently hostile. In order to satisfy the Russians and make the stronger France dissatisfied or even angry, this is obviously not compatible. Then, the negotiations were dragged down, but the Italians were not in a hurry when the negotiations were dragged down. Anyway, if they stayed one day longer, they would have to pay one more day.

In the end, the Russians were anxious. They also owed a debt for the war, and urgently needed a reparation to pay off their debts, as well as an investment in the domestic legal movement. So the Russians took a step back. They proposed that Turkey should ensure that Russian merchant ships can freely enter and exit the Black Sea Strait. As for warships, the Russians said that this can also be discussed. For example, capital ships cannot pass.

Of course, what kind of ship is a capital ship is another matter of wrangling. But this matter, except for the Russians, everyone is not in a hurry. Finally, it was agreed that battleships and super cruisers would not pass. The total tonnage of cruisers and warships below cruisers cannot exceed a few tons per year. As for the standards for battleships and super cruisers, they follow the existing standards of the French Navy.

In this way, the most difficult link was broken, and then Turkey and Russia signed a new peace treaty. According to this treaty, Turkey ceded the entire Bessarabia region and part of the territory of the Caucasus to Russia. In addition, 100 million francs will be compensated to Russia.

Even for the wealthy Turkey, this money is not a small amount of money that can be taken out casually. But the Russians demanded that Turkey pay it all at once, and time is still tight. In order to make up the money, Turkey applied for a loan from the Bank of Rome.

In the end, the Turks spent 300 million francs for this, 100 million of which were for the Russians, and the remaining 200 million were of course the legitimate income of the Bank of Rome.

Just as the flames of war in the East were gradually extinguishing, in Ireland, the siege of Dublin reached its final stage. After the supply of ammunition to Russia was stopped, the supply of ammunition for the French artillery outside Dublin was finally improved. As a result, the efficiency of the French-Irish coalition's attack on Dublin has greatly increased ~lightnovelpub.net~ Today, the number of artillery shells falling on the heads of the British every day is at least three times more than the previous period. Coupled with the ultra-long range of the French artillery, yes they had a clear advantage in the confrontation with the British artillery.

Relying on the condescending observation of the hot air balloon and the huge range of the 280mm and 203mm guns, the French army destroyed many British cannons in the artillery battle. Especially because the British do not have smokeless gunpowder technology, the characteristics of the artillery are always very obvious when they are fired. This makes the French always find that they are missing and smash the shells on their heads quickly.

Now a part of the Independence Army has occupied the last strategic point leading to the city, so the British were already preparing to retreat before this.

To say that in the history of world wars, the British Army is not particularly good in many aspects. There is only one technology that can be called unparalleled in the world, and that is the British retreat technology. The British Army is best at organizing retreats, especially by sea...
