From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 474
Because of the Ottoman Empire’s fear of Ming’s military power, the negotiation process of the envoys sent by Richard was very slow and tended to stagnate!
The Ottoman Empire was worried that a mouthful of refusal would make the war tyrant Richard directly lead his troops to restart the war, so it simply delayed the negotiation process and neither agreed nor refused…
Privately, the army expanded aggressively, actively introducing various advanced firearms from Europe, and reforming the army’s weapons!
It’s a pity that the Ottoman Empire is too large and has too many armies. It is still a state system where the dark elves oppress mankind. Reform is easier said than done!
For example, the issue of changing flintlock guns. For the Ottoman Empire, the flintlock gun production line has no technical problems. But in case the human army is completely replaced, the cost will not be mentioned first, how to ensure that the human army is still honest Accept the oppression of the dark elves?
The current dark elves are only using flash hat flintlocks, which are not much more advanced than ordinary smoothbore flintlocks, and can be overwhelmed by the advantage of quantity!
Once the human servant army fully enters the age of firearms, the individual melee advantage of the dark elves will be greatly weakened. This is the sorrow of a minority of races dominating the majority of races!
Although the Ottoman Empire has used Crescent Religion to imprison the thoughts and beliefs of mankind under its control, as long as oppression exists, mankind’s aversion to dark elves will not be eliminated.
The only good news is that the dark elves of the Ottoman Empire’s policy of rule by man is relatively successful, and the human Pashas have made great contributions to the dark elves’ rule of mankind!
If all human Pasha collectively disloyal to the dark elves, the Ottoman Empire will immediately collapse!
Of course, human Pasha, as a group of vested interests, would never do that, even if there are a few careerists and idealists.
In addition, although the humans under the Ottoman Empire were oppressed and exploited, they were divided into many ethnic groups by the dark elves through long-term propaganda.
For example, the Afghan nation, the Persian nation, the Arab nation, the Armenian nation, the Georgian nation, the Egyptian nation, the Syrian nation and so on.
There are more than a dozen ethnic groups in the Ottoman Empire!
Among them, the most populous is the Arab nation, but the region where the Arabs live is economically underdeveloped and relatively poor, so the strength of the Arabs is not the strongest.
Even the Balkan Peninsula, which has just been provincialized by the Ottoman Empire, is divided into four major ethnic groups: Serbian, Bulgarian, Albanian, and Greek!
It just corresponds to the four human vassals before the provincialization.
Under the guidance of the dark elves, the contradictions between the human races in the Ottoman Empire need not be low at all!
Because of this, the dark elves can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and always firmly suppress humans with a population of more than ten times their own as their own slave races.
However, this kind of governance is okay in peacetime, but it is more terrible in wartime. National conflicts do not rely on lip-synching, internal friction is caused!
Let alone the struggle on the level of rights, there are often large-scale armed fights between various ethnic groups, and many of them are dead!
This kind of national contradiction is conducive to the rule of the dark elves in peacetime, but it greatly reduces the mobilization ability of the Ottoman Empire during the war!
For example, the simplest problem is that to form an army, you must conscript as much as possible in one area and select people from the same ethnic group together. Otherwise, it will be difficult to manage the army.
It is normal for legions of multiple ethnic groups to hold back each other during wars!
Therefore, in theory, the Ottoman Empire can easily form a million human servants, but in fact, it can only put more than 300,000 people on the battlefield…
This is not a fatal big problem.
As the situation in Europe tends to be peaceful, the military revolutions in European countries are over, and after weapons have entered the breech era, the relatively backward Ottoman Empire has become an eyesore.
Backward armaments, a small number of dark elves oppressing most human anti-human regimes, and a vast territory, enough to provide countless reasons for the European power to invade!
Thus, the Kingdom of Spain took a fancy to the territory of the Ottoman Empire in North Africa, and successfully allowed the Moroccans to “independence” from the rule of the dark elves!
Even the high elves intervened, and together with the humans, they sought the vast and fertile areas of Egypt in the Ottoman Empire!
Conflicts between the two sides continue. Although the Ottoman Empire has the advantages of local warfare and the use of human sea tactics, it is completely behind in terms of weapons and armaments by an era!
Western European countries like hungry wolves pounce on the North African territories of the Ottoman Empire, either infiltrate or hold the banner of liberating mankind and use small-scale local wars to greedy local food.
Central European countries are fighting fiercely in the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire. The Habsburg dynasty leads the Kingdom of Hungary, the Principality of Transylvania, the Principality of Moldova, and the Principality of Wallachia. mtlnovel.com~Even if the two sides do not fight, hundreds and eighty people will die in the border area every year…
As for the goddess of the lake in the Kingdom of Light, she has never let go of the banner of liberating all mankind in the Ottoman Empire!
The main navy forces of the Ottoman Empire have been dragged into European waters and consumed by human nations, and have already fallen short…
The Ottoman Empire, whose energy was mostly dragged by the European continent, would naturally have many difficulties to defend against the invasion of Ming Kingdom.
Even the more primitive and backward Mongol Empire in the north often went south to looting…
It can be said that the Ottoman Empire under the rule of the dark elves is the country with the worst known international relations in the world. There is no one!
Why did the dark elves have such aggressive ambitions at the beginning? Taking advantage of the warhammer human infighting and division engulfed a large area of the world, and now the European humans maintain a balance inside, it is natural to look for the dark elves’ bad luck. The Ottoman Empire is also the best Expansion direction.
It was in this situation that Richard’s messenger came to the Kingdom of Spain and began to discuss the conclusion of a human covenant to jointly divide the Ottoman Empire!
Richard’s messenger proposed a bold idea to the European human nations: Western Europe and the High Elves’ Kingdom of England acquire the entire territory of the Ottoman Empire in North Africa, and occupy Syria and the Arabian Peninsula!
The human nations of Central Europe jointly carve up the Ottoman Empire in the Balkan Peninsula and Istanbul region of Europe, plus the mainland of Anatolia!
Richard’s Ming Kingdom occupied Afghanistan and Persia in the Ottoman Empire!
In this way, the Ottoman Empire officially perished…
As for the dwarves of Northern Europe and the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, they were directly ignored by Richard…
